Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

This study aimed to detect tongue edema associated with the pressure exerted by a rigid direct laryngoscope by measuring the tongue area using USG in patients undergoing suspension laryngoscopy (SL) procedures.

New biomarkers that predict the development of renal dysfunction in patients with aortic surgery are urgently needed. The investigators investigate whether urinary (TIMP-2)x(IGFBP7) predicts postoperative Acute Kidney Injury and/or need for Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) in patients after aortic surgery (including EVAR).

Assess the relationship between body composition, metabolism, and dietary needs in people with spinal cord injury compared to their healthy controls that are age and sex matched.

The aim of this study is to examine if procalcitonin (PCT) can be used for early prediction of AKI septic patients in ICU.

The investigators analyzed the strain of the rotator cuff tendon of baseball pitchers obtained using ultrasonography and compared the change in peak tendon strain before and after the regular season.

Background: To assess the impact of pre-season clinical measures and rotator muscles strength on the risk of significant shoulder injury (SSI) in elite badminton players Design: Prospective cohort study Participants: Nineteen elite adolescents badminton players were included and followed over the badminton season (from september 2018 to may 2019 and/or from september 2019 to may 2020) . Independent variables: A pre-season visit consisted in clinical and isokinetic shoulder strength testing. Clinical testing consisted in the shoulder range of motion (ROM) measurements and the table-to-acromion distance (TAD)Isokinetic internal and external rotator shoulder muscles strength was tested at 60 and 240°/s. Conventional and functional (eccentric-to-concentric) ratios (FR) were calculated. SSI collection was performed by an experienced sport physician.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate outcomes of adult patients hospitalised due to penetrating abdominal trauma at a tertiary trauma hospital in South Africa. Our primary objective is to study the association between waiting time to surgery and outcome (mortality, complications, and length of hospital stay) in normotensive patients treated with laparotomy for penetrating abdominal trauma.

The purpose of this study is to study the MRI images of acetabular labrum injury by deep learning method, and try to establish a combination model of axial and coronal serial images, and compare with the diagnostic accuracy of radiologists, to establish a deep learning method for accurate identification and classification of acetabular labrum injury.

Background. Within a year, COVID-19 has advanced from being an outbreak to a pandemic, spreading rapidly and globally with devastating impact. Currently, there is an ongoing debate among scientists about the pathophysiological relationship between COVID-19 and acute kidney injury (AKI). While a few studies have concluded that the mechanisms of AKI in COVID-19 patients are seemingly multifactorial and have not been fully explicated, others asserted that AKI remains rare among COVID-19-related diseases. Considering this knowledge-gap and its potential impact on the management of COVID-19-associated AKI, our study aims to explore the prevalence of AKI and to identify possible risk factors associated with AKI development among COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Materials and Methods. This retrospective cohort study included 83 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at AL-AHRAR Hospital, Zagazig, Egypt, between June and August,2020. Exclusion criteria were: patients younger than 18 years of age; diagnosed with end stage kidney disease; placed on maintenance dialysis; booked for a kidney transplant or on nephrotoxic medications. All patients included in the study underwent complete blood count; liver and renal function tests; examination of hemostasis parameters; inflammatory markers; serum electrolytes; routine urinalysis; arterial blood gas and non-enhanced chest and abdominal computer tomography (CT) scans

The purpose of this study is to evaluate continuous ultrasound treatment with diclofenac coupling patch during routine care of musculoskeletal injuries which failed conservative treatment to better understand clinical utilization of the treatment on types of injuries, how the treatment helps patients (pain, function and quality of life), and information on healthcare provider ordering the therapy and general workflow. Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is a bio regenerative technology used when normal rehabilitation is insufficient, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. The objective of this study is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using SAM during routine care.
