Dermatomyositis (DM) is a highly heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by rash and myasthenia. Beside these, respiratory involvement is one of the common complications of DM. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) occur in approximately 90% of patients with DM, part of them may manifest rapidly progressive-interstitial lung disease (rp-ILD), which progresses into respiratory failure that is difficult to correct and leads to death. Early identification of rp-ILD high risk group is of great significance to improve the prognosis of patients and to conduct following clinical studies. A simple, easy, convenient and reliable diagnostic tool has not yet acquired till now.
The study is a prospective, single arm, post- marketing study. The subjects enrolled to the study will receive weekly applications of ActiGraft until complete healing or until investigator's decision that patient can no longer benefit from the study treatment.
To examine the efficacy and safety of sericin dressing with collagen in STSG donor site treatment comparing with Bactigras®. Around 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.
Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization via a minimally invasive endovascular approach might increase the likelihood of resolution and might prevent reaccumulation of Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH). The purpose of the OTEMACS Trial is to assess the safety and effect on recurrence rate and functional outcome of endovascular treatment in patients with CSDH.
A study to compare electrophysiologic activity of epidural stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation, as well as quantify changes in motor performance with both types of stimulation over the course of 10 rehabilitation sessions.
The purpose of this study is to see how much pain intensity is affected by high frequency spinal cord stimulation therapy in individuals with serious brachial plexus injury.
To identify nutritional and metabolic biomarkers that are related to the prognosis of traumatic brain injury patients, and to develop a prognosis prediction model using biomarkers Study Objectives: 1. Establishment of a prospective registry for traumatic brain injury patients 2. Identification of nutritional and metabolic biomarkers related to prognosis of traumatic brain injury patients 3. Development of a prognosis prediction model using nutritional and metabolic biomarkers 4. Development of identification model for high-risk population of disabilities after traumatic brain injury
Sagittal split osteotomy (SSO) is a common operation done to move the mandible to correct dentofacial deformities and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury and associated paresthesia is a well-known negative outcome following SSO, causing temporary or sometimes, permanent numbness in the chin and/or lip. There are limited methods to decrease the occurrence and duration of neurosensory dysfunction. Recent research has shown that platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) aids neurosensory recovery after SSO. Another method to minimize nerve injury is proximal segment grooving (PSG) to create space for the nerve to rest. This grooving method has never been formerly reported. The purpose of this study is to answer the following question: Among patients undergoing bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) for dentofacial deformity or OSA, do those who receive PRF with or without PSG, compared to those who do not, have shorter times to functional sensory recovery (FSR) of the IAN? The null hypothesis is that there is no difference among 4 treatment groups and neurosensory outcomes. The specific aims of this proposal are to 1) enroll and randomize subjects who will undergo BSSO for correction of dentofacial deformity or OSA into 4 different treatment groups (PSG with PRF, PSG alone, PRF alone, neither PSG or PRF), 2) measure objective and subjective post-operative nerve function at fixed intervals post-operatively for up to 1 year, 3) compare differences in neurosensory outcomes among treatment groups, and 4) identify other variables that might be associated with differences in neurosensory outcomes.
Study objectives: To determine whether, in critically ill patients with Acute Kidney Injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT), randomization to receive intravenous hyperoncotic albumin 20-25% (100 mL X two doses) compared to control/placebo normal saline boluses (100 mL X two doses) given during RRT sessions, leads to: 1. An increase in organ support-free days (primary outcome) at 28 days following randomization; and 2. An increase in RRT-free days (principal secondary outcome) at 28 days following randomization.
