Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

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

Major adverse cardiovascular events are the leading cause of perioperative morbimortality in non-cardiac surgery. Perioperative myocardial infarction is usually asymptomatic, with a mortality around 10-12%. Myocardial Injury in Noncardiac Surgery (MINS), is defined as a myocardial injury that provokes a troponin increase due to myocardial ischemia. MINS is a predictor of morbimortality at short term and at long term. The aim of the study is to improve the diagnosis of myocardial injury after non cardiac surgery in high-risk patients, improve its treatment in case of MINS and establish prevention strategies.

Traumatic coagulopathy is frequent and is an independent risk factor of mortality. Its detection mainly relies upon classic biological test like the prothrombin time and the international normaliezd ratio (INR). These tests are not available at the bedside. Point of care (POC) device for INR measurement are now available like the Coaguchek, Roche, France. The aim of the present study is to test the correlation between the POC INR and the laboratory INR.

In addition to the motor and sensory functions, sexual function changes after spinal cord injury and is considered one of the most common problems, ranging from a decrease in sexual desire to disturbances of erection, orgasm and ejaculation. Objective: To assess the impact of the complexity of traumatic spinal cord injury in male sexual function.

Aims: assess the relationship between sexual function and depressive symptoms in individuals with spinal cord injury.

This cohort study describes the epidemiology of trauma patients and their management in a French academic trauma center. It also aims to determine what recommendations from the European trauma guidelines is applied in routine.

This is a cohort study in which patients who survive Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) during intensive care unit (ICU) admission are recalled at 3-6 months and renal function tests are performed. The purpose of the study is describe renal function in AKI survivors at follow-up. Additional aims are to determine how well admission values of renal function markers perform as predictors of renal function at follow-up and whether estimates of renal function at follow-up differ depending on which renal function marker is used.

This study assess the vital status, renal function and renal recovery of patients admitted to intensive care unit and requiring renal replacement therapy for acute kidney failure. Patient follow up is up to 3 years after ICU admission when possible.

This study is an online survey asking for invasive instrumention in trauma patients of an emergency department

Currently, those with spinal cord injury (SCI) demonstrate increased prevalence of obesity (75%) cardiovascular disease (30 - 50%), type II diabetes (21%) and osteoporosis in the legs (100%) when compared to the general population. It is important to identify the modes and intensities of exercise most likely to generate a reduction in these inactivity-related diseases in this population. Therefore, the main purpose of this pilot research project is to implement and test a form of a spinal cord injury-specific exercise, known as FES rowing (FES: functional electrical stimulation).
