Filter by:This is a retrospective study. Trauma patients aged 65 years or older will be included. The aims of this study are explore the epidemiological characteristics of elderly trauma patients in Zhejiang Province; establishment of early warning score system of elderly trauma death in Zhejiang Province; and horizontal comparison of the treatment level of elderly trauma in Zhejiang Province.
Knee joint cartilage cells metabolize slowly, and it is difficult to repair themselves after injury. Any knee joint trauma or the progression of osteoarthritis may lead to the progression of cartilage or osteochondral defects. Compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), peripheral blood MSCs have better chondrogenic differentiation ability. At the same time, the mobilization of peripheral blood MSCs and the advancement of extraction technology also make it feasible to treat osteochondral damage by using peripheral blood MSCs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of surgical transplantation of autologous peripheral blood MSCs to repair knee joint Ⅳ-degree localized cartilage injury, and to explore a new treatment for osteochondral defects based on the foundation of the research group's previous research.
Lower Limb Amputations (LLAs) are a substantial burden on the Canadian health services with nearly 50,000 cases reported between 2006 and 2011. To address the challenging nature of a LLA (e.g., decreased mobility, pain, depression), patients need to go through extensive rehabilitation programs. Effective self-management programs can help those with LLA to monitor their own condition and improve their quality of life. However, a lack of self-management programs, a limited healthcare budget, and a decrease in quality of services (e.g. shorter lengths of stay for inpatients and rapid movement to outpatient services) pose further challenges for patients with LLA. Self-management programs can be provided to clients through online mobile technologies (e.g., tablet) and offer accessible, low-cost, and potentially augmentative rehabilitation after discharge, in both urban and rural areas. To address these needs, an online educational and training platform for individuals with LLA called, Self-Management for Amputee Rehabilitation using Technology (SMART) was designed and developed. SMART focuses on LLA education, prosthetic limb management, and weekly support of peers. It is monitored by a trainer through a website. SMART will be evaluated in men and women with LLA aged 50 years and over, admitted to prosthetic rehabilitation throughout BC and ON. SMART has the potential to influence a client's post-LLA needs with direct (e.g., individual's health) and indirect (e.g., healthcare utilization) benefits. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of SMART in community dwelling older adults with unilateral, above or below, knee amputation.
This study intends to study the shoulder SLAP injury through deep learning technology and establish a deep learning model through the combination of axial and oblique coronal images to establish a deep learning method that can accurately identify and grade shoulder SLAP injury.
Concussions are consequences of inopportune interactions between an impact force and the head that causes the head (and brain) to move too rapidly. This project involves two parts. 1. The outcome of head-impact depends upon the force and the biomechanical properties of the head-and-neck. Modern microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) head-impact sensors only measure the physical parameters of external forces. The researchers have developed a next-generation smart MEMS sensor fortified with artificial intelligence (AI) that can help define a personalized concussive threshold. The researchers sensor machine-learns the biomechanical properties of the participant's head-and-neck and accurately determines the likelihood for concussive injuries. The researchers first goal is to field-test the sensor in soccer players. 2. Researchers hypothesize that an increase in neck stiffness should reduce concussive risks. The researchers have developed a training protocol that involves a conditioned response (CR) to increase neck stiffness during a head-impact event and thereby decrease concussion risk. The Researchers have also developed technology to monitor neck stiffness. The smart sensor is fully integrated into the training protocol and monitors the neck stiffness to validate the effectiveness of the training. The second goal is to optimize and finalize our training protocol and conduct a field-test in soccer players.
M1- evaluates the cases of lower urinary tract injuries during caesarean section with or without hysterectomy in cases with morbid placental adherence in the period between years 2018 and 2021. This study was carried out in assiut university women health hospital M 2- Clarification of the risk factors and outcome of urinary tract injuries.
Obstetrical Anal Sphincter Injury is an identified risk factor for anal incontinence. The mechanisms and the risk factors for anal incontinence in Obstetrical Anal Sphincter Injury women are not well known. Anal incontinence in such women is not well documented and probably underestimated. Cohort studies estimated that up to 53% of Obstetrical Anal Sphincter Injury women are incontinent but that most of them does not complain their doctor.
This study is to understand how the combination of activity-based recovery training and targeted spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) can improve participants' ability to use their hand, arms, and core.
The investigators aim to assess role of median sternotomy in penetrating cardiac trauma regarding morbidity and mortality of the patients.
This is a prospective, single arm study, consisting of 20 women with abdominal surgical wound dehiscence that requires secondary closure. The participants will receive a weekly application of ActiGraft for 4 weeks, or until complete healing of the wound (the earlier of the two). An historic matched-control group of 20 patients will be compared retrospectively
