Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence, incidence and injury load suffered in male amateur rugby players from Argentina during a competitive season in 2019.

The outcome of brain injury (physical or stroke) may be related to a brain electrical phenomenon known as Cortical Spreading Depression (CSD). This is a brief cessation of function in a local region of brain tissue. It has been hypothesized that CSD may occur after brain injury and may expand the damage to adjacent brain areas. Our aim is to detect CSD by means of intracranial electrodes in patients with brain injuries and asses how these events alter the outcome of the patients.

Using abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging, the investigators will estimate total body muscle mass at two time points in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) by assessing cross-sectional muscle areas at the L3 vertebral body level. This allows for a determination of the rate of sarcopenia development in the ICU. With this information, the investigators propose to test if the rates of the development of sarcopenia differ in critically ill subjects with sepsis compared to a reference group of critically ill subjects with trauma (without sepsis).

It is an interventional study that aims to assess a new primary care model of collaboration between specialized centers and primary care physicians in Switzerland, in order to reduce morbidity and improve patients' and providers' experience with delivery of follow-up care in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury as compared to current best practice.

Total hip arthroplasty refers to the replacement of the femoral head and acetabulum damaged by disease or trauma with an artificial hip joint, thereby restoring joint activity and original function. Acute kidney injury is a common complication after total hip arthroplasty. Previous studies have shown that the incidence of acute kidney injury after hip replacement is as high as 21.9%. Acute kidney injury has become a global safety issue, and the occurrence of acute kidney injury can lead to an increase in hospital stay, medical costs and increased risk of death.There is currently no global survey of the incidence of AKI, and only a number of studies have been conducted on specific patient groups (eg, inpatients, intensive care units [ICU] patients or children) due to differences in study design and definition of acute kidney injury.

This project will determine the feasibility and validity of measuring elbow muscle flexor stiffness in a population of patients with sub-acute severe acquired brain injury using two measurement methods, the portable spasticity assessment device (PSAD) (Movotec, Charlottenlund, Denmark) and an ultrasound measurement called shear wave sonoelastography (SWE).

The current common clinical methods cannot truly reflect the biomechanical status of the knee joint. Based on the foot-knee coupling mechanism, the simple and practical dynamic gait touch information provided by the 3D force platform are closely related to the knee biomechanics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the disease feature recognition, computer-aided diagnosis and rehabilitation assessment based on the gait touch information related to lower limb injuries.

High-grade pancreatic injury is rare, and the reported complication and mortality are high. The optimal management strategy according to high-grade injuries remains controversial. The present study compares surgical drainage with percutaneous drainage in the management of High-grade pancreatic trauma.

This study is aim to study the changes of serum creatinine levels at 72 hours after admission in patients with acute heart failure who has diuretic resistance compared to those who do not have diuretic resistance from furosemide stress test

Rapid and accurate assessment of radiation injury dose is the key to success in early treatment and an urgent issue to be solved in clinical medicine.Researches showed that the expression of the microRNAs in human peripheral blood had much correlation with radiation injury resulted from different dosages of radiation.In this study,acute leukemic patients who will be pretreated by whole-body radiation are taked as the object of study,and biochip technology are adopted to detect the expression levels of the microRNAs in subject peripheral blood before-and-after radiation,and different expression is tested and Bioinformatics prediction,to evaluate the correlation between radiation injury dose and expression levels of the microRNAs in human peripheral blood.
