Active clinical trials for "Rupture, Spontaneous"

When time allows, administration of mifepristone prior to second trimester induction of labor decreases total labor time. However, in the setting of many pregnancy complications, decreasing time from diagnosis of nonviable pregnancy to delivery is of utmost importance to decrease risk of maternal complications. Previous data has shown that total abortion time is longer in the group receiving mifepristone owing to the delay between mifepristone administration and initiation of misoprostol induction of labor. Thus, the investigators aim to investigate whether simultaneous mifepristone and misoprostol has benefits over misoprostol alone when labor induction of a nonviable second trimester cannot be delayed.

This study is a non-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial designed to compare the effect of outpatient oral antibiotics (i.e., amoxicillin and azithromycin) on the length of time (days) that pregnancy continues after a patient's water bag has ruptured prematurely. If a patient has been diagnosed with rupture of their water bag between 18 0/7 weeks and 22 6/7 weeks and there are no other associated complications with the pregnancy, the patient is eligible for initial consideration for this study. Patients will be admitted to the hospital for a 24-hour monitoring period. If the patient remains without further complications during this monitoring period, the patient will be eligible for enrollment. If enrollment is desired, the patient will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics (treatment arm of the study) or no antibiotics (control arm of the study). The treatment arm will receive an outpatient, 7-day course of oral antibiotics (azithromycin and amoxicillin) with the first dose given in the hospital to ensure no side effects. The control arm will not receive outpatient antibiotics. Both groups will have weekly, office follow-up visits with high-risk pregnancy specialists to ensure no further complications. Both groups will be admitted to the hospital if the patients reach 23 0/7 weeks without complications. At this time the patients will receive all medications and therapies recommended by the governing board of OBGYNs. Subjects of both groups will also be admitted before 23 0/7 weeks if further complications noted either at their clinic follow up visits or anytime outside of the hospital. The duration of time that the patient remains pregnant after breaking of the water bag will be compared in each group. The investigators will also see if there is a difference in the number of patients able to reach 23 0/7 weeks between each group (treatment versus control).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of early mobilization versus traditional immobilization rehabilitation programs after surgical Achilles tendon repair on the mechanical (torque-angle and torque-velocity relationships) and electrical (neuromuscular activation) properties of the plantar- and dorsiflexor muscles, gastrocnemius medialis morphology (muscle architecture), functional performance, and the mechanical and material properties (force-elongation and stress-strain relationships) of the injured and uninjured Achilles tendon. The hypothesis is that the early mobilization could reduce the deleterious effects of the joint immobilization and improve the tendon healing.

The principal aim of this study is to help obstetricians to diagnose chorioamniotic infection early, in cases of premature rupture of the fetal membranes before 34 WA, by proposing earlier and more specific markers of infection than FBC and CRP. The aim is to reduce vital and functional risk of acute chorioamnionitis for the mother, the fetus or the newborn,. If the kinetics profile of one or several markers correlates strongly with the diagnosis of chorioamnionitis, it could be used in clinical practice, possibly in the context of another clinical study. The results of the study presented here are destined to be published in obstetrics journals.

Searching a dysfunction of corticotropic and thyrotropin axis during the acute phase ( ≤48h ) of a subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to spontaneous rupture of cerebral aneurysm. Impact on the incidence of complications and recovery are evaluated at 1 month. Blood sample are made within 48 hours of the onset of bleeding with assay of total plasma cortisol, plasma ACTH at 8 am and thyroid hormones (T3, free T4 , and TSH). Dynamic test ACTH stimulation (test Synacthene) with renewal of serum cortisol to H + 1 (60min). Evaluation in the first 30 days of the incidence of rebleeding, hydrocephalus, of vasospasm, infection and epilepsy. GOS to 1 month.

To compare Child-Pugh and Albumin-Bilirubin scores in patients with spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma

The EMERALD trial is a multinational, multicenter study. The patients presented with AMI/definite evidence of plaque rupture and had underwent coronary CT angiography from 1 month to 2 year prior to the event will be retrospectively searched. Plaques in the non-culprit vessels will be regarded as internal control to the ruptured plaque in the culprit vessel.
