The goal of the Cellular and Tissue Based Therapy Registry (CTPR) for Wounds is to provide real world patient data from electronic health records submitted to meet Stage 2 Meaningful Use in order to understand the value of these products among patients with chronic wounds and ulcers. Randomized, controlled trials to establish product efficacy routinely exclude patients with the co-morbid conditions common to patients seen in usual clinical practice and thus the results of these RCTs tend to be non-generalizable. Little is known about the effectiveness of CTPs among typical patients.
Amantadine hydrochloride is one of the drugs given at rehabilitation programs to people who suffered Acquired Brain Injury in order to expedite recovery and improve functioning. A previous study examined the spatially asymmetric allocation of attention in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Patients demonstrated significantly worse performance with leftward than with rightward cross-hemi field shifts of attention. This is reminiscence of neglect patients. This difference was significantly reduced during and following treatment. Our objective is to investigate whether Amantadine Hydrochloride is effective in improving allocation of spatial attention and improving function in people with Traumatic Brain Injury.
The study evaluates the knowledge and attitude about Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma examination among medical students and medical staff in Poland.
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
A MULTI-CENTER, PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED STUDY TO EVALUATE PHYSICIAN PREFERENCE RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SURGIQUEST AIRSEAL INSUFFLATION SYSTEM (AIS) VS. CONVENTIONAL INSUFFLATION SYSTEMS (CIS) FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PNEUMOPERITONEUM DURING ROBOTIC PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY
Chronic foot wounds which is very difficult to treat are common especially in diabetic and peripheral arterial or venous insufficiency patients. This research is aim to observe the foot wound's recovery with 3% Sodium pentaborate pentahydrate hydrogel.
Knee cruciate ligament injury is a common injury (15 000 per year in France) which concerns young sportsmen. Consequences are limitation in physical and sporting activities and at work. Main objective: to compare water and traditional rehabilitation after cruciate ligament injury reconstruction in terms of kinematics of recovery and of proprioceptive abilities development.
Primary caregiver thoracic ultrasound (U/S) is a skill which is growing in utility in critical care. First introduced for volume assessment in nephrology and cardiology, it is now being researched in emergency and critical care. Data is still evolving in its use in initial trauma evaluation. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter correlates with outcome in trauma, but utility of its measurement on U/S in the emergency department still has some controversy. In trauma specifically, small studies suggests benefit to the use of U/S to predict volume status, and most of these data are from one author. It is not known if this can be applied more broadly. The prognostic value of findings on limited transthoracic echocardiogram (LTTE, SonoSite Ultrasound) has been studied in several small studies, and only one small randomized controlled trial has proven benefit to its use. Due to inter-rater reliability and the fact that all reports on credentialing of thoracic ultrasound use in the trauma bay are from one group, it is not known if it can be applied to all trauma populations. Research question: Does LTTE (SonoSite Ultrasound) predict mortality, emergency surgery, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, hospital stay, time on ventilator, number of transfusions, or renal failure as well as or better than other methods of organ perfusion? Hypotheses: 1. Use of LTTE is associated with improved outcomes (less organ failure, decreased hospital and ICU stays, transfusions, and mortality). 2. LTTE predicts mortality, emergency surgery, ICU stay, hospital stay, time on ventilator, number of and transfusions better than other methods of organ perfusion (tachycardia, hypotension, lactate, lactate clearance, creatinine, base deficit).
The purpose of study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells therapy in patients with anaerobic (hypoxic) brain injury. Stem cell therapy is an emerging alternative treatment modality in incurable and intractable neurological disorders. This pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of stem cells in anaerobic brain injury.
