Prevention of Vaginal Cellulitis or Vaginal Cuff Abscess After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

HysterectomyCellulitis3 more

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.

Direct Antibiotic Delivery of Cefazolin Into Soft Tissue Infections Using Subcutaneous Injection...

InfectionSoft Tissue4 more

This study focuses on a new drug delivery system (Direct Antibiotic Delivery) to treat soft tissue infections. In this study, cefazolin is delivered directly to the target tissues using subcutaneous injection of antibiotic solution and then dispersed using high-frequency external ultrasound. Using this system, a much higher concentration of antibiotic can be achieved than through traditional treatment methods. Unlike traditional delivery methods, Direct Antibiotic Delivery does not rely on blood supply and is beneficial for subjects with Diabetes or subjects who have received radiation therapy and blood supply is limited.

The Personalised Antibiotic Duration for Cellulitis (PAD-C) Study

CellulitisCellulitis of Leg1 more

Cellulitis is an increasingly common and unpleasant bacterial infection of the skin, usually affecting the legs. Patients experience pain and swelling, loss of mobility, fever, and chills. Patients may be left with chronic skin damage and 1 in 5 experience recurrences. Cellulitis is treated with antibiotics, but it is unclear as to how long treatment should be for. As a result, many patients get much longer antibiotic treatment than needed. This exposes patients to the risks of taking unnecessary antibiotics. This study aims to find out what features of individual patients predict a good, sustained recovery from cellulitis. These may include medical conditions and clinical response to the first few days of antibiotic treatment, such as changes in skin temperature. Patients who are being treated in hospital for cellulitis will be invited to take part. Information will be collected about patients who will be followed up for 3-6 months. Devices for measuring skin temperature will also be compared to see which one works best. This information will be used to help develop a set of rules that doctors can use to guide the length of antibiotic treatment. This should ensure that future patients receive the amount of antibiotics needed and no more.

Feasibility and Outcomes of Older Patients Hospitalization

Community-Acquired PneumoniaExacerbation of Chronic Heart Failure2 more

Hospitalization is a traumatic event for the patient and his family at any age nevertheless in the older age. One of its consequences is the difficulty to resume previous activity of daily living especially in older (over 75 years) patients. Sub acute completes the acute phase of the hospitalization and its main purpose is to improve the patient's functional status and quality of life. There are not enough clinical trails to proof this assumption. The purpose of our study is to compare the outcome of acute and sub-acute hospitalization programs by a randomized controlled prospective intervention study. Outcome measures will comprise activity of daily living, functional status, re-hospitalization and utilization of medical services following the hospitalization.Study hypothesis is that sub-acute hospitalization will improve outcomes and will cost less.

Identification of the Cutaneous Microbiota in Patients With Cutaneous Infection (MICROBIOTA)

Skin Infections

Identify the cutaneous microbiota on a cutaneous lesion (cellulite, wound, rash, etc.) on a swab, biopsies or abscess puncture and on "healthy" skin on a skin swab performed for cutaneous mapping to search for staphylococcal deposits.
