Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Kerlix AMD gauze will decrease the incidence of healthcare associated infections in burn patients. Kerlix AMD gauze will be applied to all patients with open wounds admitted to the burn unit during the prospective portion of the study. All consenting patients will be assessed for hospital associated infections and outcomes. We hypothesis that burn patients will have a decreased number of hospital associated infections compared to historical controls.
Study is intended to evaluate safety and efficacy parameters in patients treated with GLYC-101 gel or placebo after laser ablation.
This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, double blind, pilot clinical trial of subjects with chronic wounds. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of COPA AMD PHMB Impregnated foam dressing compared to regular foam dressing in subjects with chronic wounds.
Is the use of fetal membrane (human amnion) as a transient wound coverage in wound repair safe and efficacious. Will the incorporation of liposomal gene constructs to amnion enhance the functionality of human amnion and improve wound repair.
The investigators have developed a new non-invasive medical device called the Bioelectric Field Imager. They plan to use this device to measure the electric field near small lancet wounds in 60 volunteers. Their hypothesis is that the electric field is an early stimulus for wound healing and the magnitude of this field will vary with wound healing capability. The investigators will compare the electric fields near arm and leg wounds in males and females in the age groups of 18-30 and 65-80. In addition they will measure these wound fields in diabetics and near chronic ulcers.
Comparison of wound healing treatments; platelet gel vs. control
The goal of this project is to pilot-test an instrument that is designed to assess the relationship between persons who use controlling behavior with intimate partners, as a risk factor for perpetrating intimate partner violence, and workplace productivity. The goal is to validate a survey instrument that can be applied to other workplace settings to measure productivity losses associated with controlling and aggressive behavior, which will serve to inform the development of workplace interventions designed to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV). This pilot-test will include two components of a survey conducted with employees in a workplace setting: questions to determine one’s controlling behavior or propensity for violence in an intimate relationship, and questions designed to assess levels of productivity as measured by days missed from work (absenteeism) and days at work with diminished functional output (presenteeism). We expect productivity to decrease as one’s controlling behavior or propensity for perpetrating IPV increases. This study represents one of the first workplace surveys designed to measure workplace productivity as a function of controlling or violent behavior. Successful results would argue for a more wide-scale testing of the instrument, which could ultimately lead to the development of workplace interventions designed to prevent IPV.
This study will examine whether platelet gel positively affects wound healing. Platelet gel will be used to treat punch biopsy wounds and the results will be compared to results from wounds treated with a control treatment.
