Filter by:To evaluate the percentage of subjects with AKI within 7 days following on-pump cardiac surgery defined by the KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria: 1. Increase in baseline (pre-surgery) serum creatinine (SCr) by ≥26.5 μmol/L (≥0.3 mg/dL) within 7 days; OR 2. Increase in baseline SCr to ≥1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the first 7 days following surgery; OR 3. Urine output < 0.5 mL/kg/h for >6 hours.
To study the effect of adding ESWT as a noninvasive short-term treatment plus high-level laser therapy for moderate carpal-tunnel syndrome post-burn injuries.
Homelessness and associated traumas disproportionately affect women. The biopsychosocial health consequences of untreated trauma are profound. PTSD frequently co-occurs with other chronic health conditions, including substance use disorders (SUD). Co-morbid PTSD and SUD (PTSD+SUD) is common and difficult to treat, resulting in severe morbidity and premature mortality among women experiencing homelessness. Executing this study will help to address the disproportionate PTSD+SUD comorbidity burden, which drives health inequities in the growing population of women experiencing homelessness within and beyond Chicago.
So far, therapies have limited success in functional recovery in adults with chronic SCI. By introducing remote cognitive multisensory rehabilitation (CMR), which has shown significant functional improvements due to neurological recovery when delivered in-person, transformative results that (i) provide a potentially effective new therapy within the healthcare system, accessible to more patients, and (ii) demonstrate brain function changes alongside improved function in chronic SCI are anticipated. The results will inform and justify a large scale federally funded clinical trial.
The purpose of this observational research study is to better understand immune responses to vaccines against viruses (influenza or SARS-CoV2). The goal is to determine any differences in immune responses to vaccines in uninjured people and in people living with spinal cord injuries, who are typically at increased risk of infections.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare difference between Aspirin 81 mg and Aspirin 325 mg in preventing strokes in patients with head and neck vessels injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If Aspirin 81 mg efficacy in prevention of stroke in patients with head and neck vessels injury is not lower than and Aspirin 325 mg. - If rate of hemorrhagic complications in patients with head and neck vessels injury taking Aspirin 81 mg is not higher than patients that take Aspirin 325 mg.
The goal of this observational prospective cohort study is to learn about the pathophysiology of perioperative myocardial infarction/injury in high-risk patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. Participants will: - Wear wearable device (Basler Band) for up to seven days after the operation or until hospital discharge - Provide three blood samples. A venous specimen of blood (25 mL) will be collected preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 2. - Be contacted to answer a questionnaire one year after the surgery.
Traumatic rib fractures (i.e., broken ribs caused by a physical injury) are common and very painful. They also often lead to serious complications, more time spent in hospital, and can even lead to death. Even after rib fractures have healed, they can lead to long-term pain and a lower quality of life. A technology called cryoneurolysis, which acts to freeze nerves causing pain using a small tool which can turn very cold, is a promising new way to manage rib fracture pain. This study is a test with a small number of people to see if it is feasible to use this technology for patients with rib fractures. If this is successful, we will recruit more people for a larger study to see if cryoneurolysis, along with standard pain control techniques, is better at stopping pain, compared to just the normal techniques alone. Participants in our study will be asked to rate their pain, and record pain medications that they take for 3 months after their pain procedure.
To become "mother" is a beautiful gift given by God to woman. Giving birth is a powerful and life changing even with a lasting impact on women and their families. Pregnancy and labor are exceptional occasions in women's lives. Post-delivery is very decisive period for compassionate woman who had under gone episiotomy which is a throbbing and disquiet procedure during this time. Episiotomy wound healing takes weeks to years depending on health conditions and treatment of the perineum itself. Episiotomy care is very essential, if neglected it can lead to severe complications like infection, wound gapping.
This study is conducted to assess the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation Vs limb loading exercises on hand grip strength,dexterity and function in patients with subacute cervical spinal cord injury.
