Active clinical trials for "Abscess"

Medical records are reviewed to obtain information about the use of a MRI diagnostic imaging agent (contrast agent) called Primovist/Eovist in children older than 2 months and less than 18 years. Data that has been recorded in the child's medical records relating to the injection of Primovist/Eovist will be collected. Information will be collected from up to 2 weeks before the child received Primovist/Eovist until 12 months after the child received Primovist/Eovist. Copy of the child's MR images that were taken right before and after the child received Primovist/Eovist and all other reports (laboratory reports, other imaging reports, etc) that are part of the child's medical records during that time period will be collected.

Amebic liver abscess is the most frequent extra-intestinal form of the amoebiasis; actually the factors for predicting failure in the medical treatment are not clear. We conducted trial for determining the clinical value of paraclinical factor in this issue.

This study is a comparison of two techniques for endotracheal intubation (Glidescope versus Macintosh) in patients with odontogenic abscesses.

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a complication of infectious disease, and the most common pathogen of PLA is Klebsiella pneumoniae, while PLA caused by Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) has become a threat to public health. For achieving a better therapeutic outcome of CRKP related PLA, it is very important to figure out the basic characteristics and risk factors of CRKP-PLA. A retrospective cohort study was performed in which 15 PLA patients carriage of K pneumoniae were screened at the Xiangya hospital of central south university (changsha, China). The colonization and clinical infection isolates were analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing to identify CRKP. All admission patients diagnosed with PLA who developed CRKP were included, 5 adults PLA patients with CRKP infected and 10 adults PLA patients with Carbapenem sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP) infected were conducted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was carried out using a stepwise selection method to compare prognostic factors between CRKP and CSKP groups.

The French School of Proctology assumes that any anal or perianal abscess is related to an anal fistula and therefore requires treatment at the risk of recurrence of the abscess. The Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, recommend a simple incision in case of a first abscess, without taking care of the possible fistula, on the grounds that more than 60% of patients will not have a recurrence of their abscess. In addition, predictive factors of abscess recurrence have been reported such as female gender, age over 40 years, however, contradicted by other studies. High BMI, corticosteroid use, Crohn's disease are other predictive factors of recurrence while diabetes mellitus or antibiotic therapy during the days following the incision were considered as "protective". The objective of this study was to evaluate our experience in the hospital with essentially a description of the evolution of the patients in the 2 years following the incision of the abscess in consultation. The main objective is to describe the evolution of patients, within 2 years, who consulted our center for an anal or perianal abscess treated by a simple skin incision under local anesthesia in consultation and/or whose fistula was not found during the examination under anesthesia in the operating room.

Background Intra-abdominal abscess (IAA) is one of the most serious surgical infectious complications on pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) patients. Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is considered as a risk of surgical infectious complications. However, the reason why PBD caused IAA was unknown. In this study, we hypothesize that bile contamination may increase the rate of IAA as bile from residual common bile duct (CBD) leaks and contaminates the abdominal cavity. Methods We retrospectively collected PD patients with performance of bile culture between 2007 and 2019 in our institute. As to bile culture, we used a swab to do intraoperative bile cultures after transection of the CBD. IAA was defined as a postoperative fluid collection managed by CT-guided placement of drains with documental bacteriological culture.

The purpose of this study is to determine if soft tissue infections in pediatric patients can be more accurately diagnosed (i.e. the presence of a drainable abscess) with the addition of bedside ultrasound to the clinical examination compared to the clinical examination alone.

Operative site infection remains the most common complication after performing a gynecological procedure, and has a great implication in the morbidity and mortality of patients. Gynecological procedures, including laparoscopic hysterectomy, represent a unique challenge due to the amount of microorganisms found at the skin level of the vagina or the endocervix. However, there is no clear evidence that the complication decreases with the use of postoperative antibiotics. With the completion of this study, a multicentre triple-blind controlled randomized controlled trial is intended to determine the behavior of the application of this intervention. Patients who attend an outpatient clinic with benign pathology will be selected, in which indication of laparoscopic hysterectomy, consents are completed and research content is widely explained. Prior to surgery, the sample is taken for a gram of vaginal discharge and in the post-surgical phase delivery of the medication will be performed. Follow-up will be carried out by surgical control and by telephone. The investigator intend to find that with the prophylaxis not only of presurgical cephalosporin, but with the formulation of metronidazole ovules in the postoperative, the incidence of laparoscopic post-hysterectomy vaginal abscess and cellulitis of cuff is reduced.

Sarcopaenia is associated with poor prognoses of in-hospital mortality in splenic abscess patients. Investigators recommend its use by surgeons in the ED to rapidly risk stratify and identify patients requiring urgent and aggressive intervention, to maximise patient outcomes and survival chances.

Despite advances in laparoscopic surgery for perforated peptic ulcer (PPU), intra-abdominal abscess (IAA) is recognized as one of the commonly reported complications with relation to the extent of infectious abdominal contamination. Herein, the investigators report their experience of laparoscopic surgery for PPU with/without peritoneal irrigation and discuss postoperative outcome. The investigators retrospectively examined the electronic medical records of the patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for perforated peptic ulcer at a single medical center in Taiwan between January 2013 and August 2021. Retrospectively, the investigators would include those patients with clinical diagnosis of PPU who underwent emergent laparoscopic surgery. The patients with previous abdominal surgery, pathologic confirmed malignant ulcer perforation or concomitant ulcer bleeding were excluded. The investigators focused on post-operative complications and outcome after laparoscopic surgery with or without peritoneal irrigation. This information can be important in improving surgical options with respect to risk and potential benefits in this setting.
