Active clinical trials for "Rupture"

Proximal hamstring rupture is a rare injury, which may be immediately diagnosed. In 1996, Sallay showed that functional results of surgical repair were better than those of conservative treatment. Surgery is now the rule. The main aim of this study is to obtain a more detailed and quantified description of the postoperative outcomes.

This study is a multi-center, prospective, observational clinical trial study. 528 full-term pregnant women will be enrolled as subjects, and the ratio of eligible subjects in the two groups is 1:1. In the cesarean section group, full term pregnant women with prelabor rupture of membrane (PROM) who are willing to try the trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) and in accordance with the criteria according to the 2016 China vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) clinical management guidelines will be enrolled and recorded by our homemade registration form of TOLAC. In the non-cesarean section group, pregnant women after 37 weeks of gestation with PROM but without vaginal labor contraindications will be enrolled. Whether in the cesarean section group or non-cesarean section group, if spontaneous labor does not occur, and they all will be induced by oxytocin. After 24 hours, their final delivery mode will be recorded. In the following 42 days postpartum, their complications and the neonatal outcome will be followed up.

10-20% of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage die before they arrive at the hospital, and about 25% die within 24 hours. About 1% of patients are diagnosed with cerebral aneurysms in imaging tests for health checkups, and many of them experience aneurysmal rupture during their lifetime, so it is not a rare disease. Wall shear stress is known to be a factor that reflects the state of blood vessels, and particularly plays an important role in the patency of the intima of blood vessels. In the meantime, computed fluid dynamics (CFD), a representative method for calculating wall shear stress, assumes a virtual rigid pipe and applies a preset value. This does not accurately reflect the physiological and dynamic state of the actual blood vessel. The investigators intend to measure the patient's wall shear stress using the SIG of the MRA-TOF technique, which reflects the physiological characteristics of individual patients, and to analyze the association with rupture of the intracranial aneurysm.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a pathological dilatation of the aorta in the belly which can rupture leading to bleeding within the belly. To prevent rupture elective surgery can be performed. Endovascular repair (EVAR) is a surgical intervention whereby a stent is inserted into the AAA to prevent it from further growth and rupture. Standard AAA management has several drawbacks. To start: maximum AAA diameter is used to determine upon timing of elective repair but is imprecise in predicting the risk of rupture resulting in an unmet clinical need. Secondly, EVAR outcome and complication occurrence remain unpredictable due to poor prediction ability of computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) utilised in the follow-up protocol. Lastly, patients and physicians are being repeatedly exposed to cumulative radiation toxicity. All these drawbacks could be solved by trading the standard imaging modalities by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Within the MARVY, advanced MRI techniques are used to find out if standard imaging techniques could be replaced by MRI in three phases of the AAA management (surveillance, surgery planning and post-operative follow-up). The two most important MRI techniques that will be used are 4D flow MRI and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI which give respectively information about the blood flow within the AAA and perfusion of the aortic wall.

The hypothesis is that microfractures in the footprint of the humerus will aid to improve the tendon healing to the bone. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the use of microfractures at the footprint of the rotator cuff will improve the tendon healing when reinserted. Patients undergoing surgery for a rotator cuff injury will be randomised to repair with or without microfracture.

In this study we will examine patients who have undergone anterior cruciate and/or posterior cruciate ligament and/or multi ligaments reconstruction to determine the rate of re-injury, contralateral tear and functional outcomes at least two years after surgery.

Rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a common pathology, but is subject to variability of associated lesions, surgical management and rehabilitation.

Analysis of Radiological Features of Lateral Femoral Impaction Fracture (LFC-IF) / Lateral Femoral Notch Sign will be performed on MRIs of consecutive patients after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and without ACL injuries.

The aim of this observational study is to examine the connection between bone-tendinous defects after BTB graft harvest and the development of anterior knee pain.

Globally, preterm birth (15 mill. per year) is the leading cause of under-5 child mortality (1 mill. per year) and morbidity. Important pathways include preterm labor contractions, Preterm Prelabor Rupture of the Fetal Membranes (PPROM), and iatrogenic delivery. At labor, the fetal amniochorionic membrane undergoes a cellular senescence and shed fetal amniochorionic membrane cells (ACM cells) to the maternal circulation. In collaboration with the private firm ARCEDI Biotech and The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Aarhus University has identified specific antibodies, which can be used to isolate ACM cells from maternal blood. Thus, the aim of this study is 1) to characterize ACM cells by histological and immunological techniques, and 2) in a cohort assess their performance as biomarkers of amniochorionic membrane dysfunction, including early detection of threatening preterm birth. In perspective, the findings are expected to improve the diagnostics and treatment of preterm birth.
