Filter by:Although current rehabilitation protocols following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are based on the graft remodeling process, there is uncertainty about its time schedule. Moreover, there are individual differences in neuromotor learning and flexibility after ACLR. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of a criterion-based rehabilitation protocol on pain intensity, effusion, and knee function in amateur athletes following ACLR.

The goal of this observational study is to profile the circulating immunological traits of patients with traumatic lung injury (TLI) and inhalation injury (ILI),providing a new direction for the depth research of the pathogenesis, and providing new immune-related targets for diagnosis of the severity of lung injury and treatment. The investigators performed scRNA-seq of neutrophil and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 10 ml fresh circulating blood from 3 patients with TLI and 3 patients with ILI at longitudinal timepoints,as well as peripheral blood from 3 health controls(HCs).
The goal of this randomized control trial is to compare the effect of visual aids on the recall of probabilistic risks in healthy participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will participants consented using a consent process incorporating visual aids recall the consent process better? - Will participants consented with a consent process incorporating visual aids have higher acceptability if a hypothetical, simulated complication were to occur? - Is this method of consent (visual aids) usable, appropriate and acceptable? Participants will be required to watch a brief video containing information on how a lumbar puncture is performed as well as the associated risks. - Participants in the intervention group will receive information in the form of various visual aids (e.g. anatomical diagrams, paling palettes and paling perspective scales). The audio narration and information provided in both groups is identical. - Participants will be tested on their knowledge of the procedure - Participants will be asked to rate their response to a series of procedure specific statements and statements from other validated scales. Researchers will compare the control and intervention group to see if there is improvement in the recall of information and which consent process is more acceptable, appropriate and usable.
The purpose of this study is to find differences in rates of surgical site infections following emergency laparotomy with the use of two different incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT)devices.
A major risk factor for death in burn victims is inhalation lung injury. Diagnostic criteria and severity grading are not well understood. After an inhalation injury, the mucociliary escalator is impaired by induced mucosal hyperemia, which includes Edema, increased mucous production, and airway exudation, and these insults worsen airway narrowing which interferes with ventilation. Multimodal therapy and quick bronchoscopic diagnosis improve patient outcomes. Early identification and classification of inhalation injuries improve patient outcomes. Chest CT may be employed as an alternative to or supplement to the bronchoscopy as well as a diagnostic and prognostic tool. In this study, the diagnostic and prognostic value of bronchial wall thickening as a radiological CT finding in inhalation lung damage and the radiologist score (RADS) were evaluated.
To compare the effects of upper body plyometric versus conventional exercises on speed, strength, and injury prevention in bowlers
Prospective, randomized, double-blinded, trial regarding the effect of local wound infiltration at the end of spine surgery; randomizing 1:1:1 between NaCl, Ropivacain, Levobupivacaine combined with Tramadol
The study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of cyclosporine and remote ischemic preconditioning on MDA, calcium cytosol concentration, and mitochondrial edema in tetralogy Fallot patients undergoing corrective surgery.
This cross-sectional prospective study will assess the potential association of more severe sleep apnea after spinal cord injury with more intense neuropathic pain, more severe spasticity, and more significant cardiovascular abnormalities including cardiac arrhythmias and blood pressure fluctuations. In addition, the participants' experience when undergoing home-based sleep screening test or hospital-unattended sleep screening test will be assessed in a semi-structured interview.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an exercise-based injury-prevention program on the incidence of musculoskeletal injury, motor performance and psychosocial status. 36 Estonian Military Academy cadets were randomly assigned into either an intervention or control group. The intervention group followed a neuromuscular exercise-based injury-prevention warm-up program, 3 times per week for 6 months. The control group continued with the usual warm-up. The main outcome measure was injury incidence during the study period. Additionally, evaluation of isokinetic lower-extremity strength, postural sway, physical fitness and psychosocial status was included pre- and post-intervention.
