WEMR With Clinical Decision Support for All Wounds

Chronic Wounds

The goal of this project to begin using a wound research database with clinical decision support features at Winthrop University Hospital. A research database is an electronic computer system that is used to collect patient information. Clinical decision support is the ability for a computer system to provide medical assistance to the doctor through alerts and recommendations based on the information entered. The investigators believe that use of a wound clinical decision support tool, much like a drug, will improve healing in patients with chronic wounds (wounds that fail to heal over the course of weeks) and ultimately lower the risk of death and illness caused by these wounds. In order to develop a useful clinical decision support tool, investigators first need to develop a large research database to determine the data points important for wound healing. The investigators will be using the data collected in this study for future research and publication. Data will be reviewed to answer questions important to wound healing and for the purpose of developing the clinical decision support alert system. After providing informed consent, participants will be asked a series of questions related to their past medical history, and relevant wound data will be collected. Study staff will photograph the wound at baseline, and once per week until the wound is completely healed, or for a duration of six months. Participants will be expected to return to Winthrop University Hospital for wound follow-up on a regular basis, or as determined by the Principal Investigator.

Long Term Impact of Pediatric Acute Renal Injury in Severe Sepsis

Acute Kidney InjuryChronic Kidney Disease1 more

Sepsis is the most common cause of childhood death worldwide. Millions of children survive, but are left with impaired health. Sepsis-related Acute Kidney Injury (sAKI) is increasingly recognized as a significant factor associated with long-term mortality among different patient populations. Renal dysfunction and subsequent chronic kidney disease is implicated in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The investigators overall hypothesis is that, in the pediatric population, sepsis-related AKI will have unrecognized, long-term consequences with regard to kidney function, endothelial function, blood pressure control, and overall health.

Wound Vitality Markers in Forensic Pathology

Wound

The purpose is to determine intrinsic properties of various immunohistochemical markers (FVIIIra, CD15, CD30, tryptase, TNFα, IL-1β, TGFα et TGFβ1) for diagnosis of vital wound, alone and in association (evaluation of sensibility with surgery wounds and evaluation of specificity with post-mortem wounds). Secondary purposes are to measure the minimum time to obtain a positive labeling in vital wounds, and to evaluate inter-observer reproducibility of vitality diagnosis with different markers. Expression of microRNA miR 9, miR 21 et miR 198 will be also studied.

Apoptosis in Polymorphonuclear Cells and Inflammatory Cytokines of Trauma Patients

Trauma

This study tries to find how hypoxia and hyperoxia, among types of the respiratory failure induced cell damage that can arise in the course of traumatic damage and treatment, influences apoptosis of PMN cells and IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α as inflammatory cytokines.

Acute Cardiac Responses to Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal Cord Injuries

The immediate period after spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the only opportunities that clinicians and care-givers have to make a real difference to patient outcomes. One of the main aims during this period is to preserve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the spinal cord to prevent any further damage from occurring after the injury. The heart acts as the major pump for blood to be pumped to the spinal cord and the body. It has been shown in small animal models and in humans with long-standing SCI that the ability of the heart to pump blood after injury is compromised, which may in turn reduce the amount of blood and oxygen delivered to the injured cord. It is unclear how quickly these changes occur in the heart following SCI and how best to manage heart function such that blood flow and oxygen delivery can be optimized. In the present study, the investigators will examine how the heart functions immediately after SCI. The findings from this study are expected to provide new information that could help clinicians improve the management of people who have just suffered a SCI.

Bacterial Infections in Cirrhotic Patients With Acute Severe Liver Injury

CirrhosisLiver2 more

Acute hepatic insults including hepatitis flare-up, active alcohol assumption and hepatotoxic drug use are common in patients with cirrhosis especially in Eastern countries.These patients are at high risk of developing acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and associated with high short-term mortality. And the natural history of these patients is frequently complicated by bacterial infections, which lead to deterioration of underlying diseases. The present study is aimed to investigate the prevalance and risk factors of bacterial infections in those patients and its impact on in-hospital/short-term mortality.

Surveillance for Early Liver Injuries Caused by Xianlin Gubao Granule

Drug-Induced Liver Injury

This is a prospective registry study to surveil early liver injuries caused by Xianlin Gubao Granule (XLGB Granule) through a non-intervention observational way. And attempt to establish a predictive model to screen susceptibilities to XLGB Granule.

Comparative Study of Circulating microRNA Changes in Patients With Liver Injury and Healthy Subjects...

Drug-Induced Liver InjuryLiver Failure

The objectives are to: validate a panel of tissue-specific miRNAs that are differentially expressed in the plasma of patients with and without liver injuries investigate the physiological range of the circulating miRNA panel in Healthy Subjects and under stress investigate the dysregulation of circulating miRNA panel and their prognostic and predictive values in clinical outcomes in identifying patients at high risk for mortality and acute liver failure. This trial involves peripheral blood sampling from subjects at their earliest presentation and remaining stays in the hospitalization in the emergency department. The investigators will develop panels of miRNAs that are specific indicator of early onset of major organ failures, and correlate clinical outcomes with these miRNAs.

Effect of Regulated Oxygen-Enriched Negative Pressure Therapy (RO-NPT) On Soft Tissue Wound Repair...

Wounds and Injuries

The investigators believe that regulated oxygen-enriched negative Pressure Therapy (RO-NPT) will be beneficial in the reduction or elimination of anaerobic infection in hard-to-heal soft tissue wounds.
