Active clinical trials for "Rupture"

Acute appendicitis is one of the most frequent reasons of emergency laparotomy in adults. Symptoms of acute appendicitis overlap with other clinical conditions and might present as a challenge, especially in the early phases. Despite the advances and widespread use of imaging modalities, still negative laparotomies are performed with the initial diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Several scoring systems are developed by using various clinical and laboratory parameters in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy and prevent unnecessary laparotomies.

This study is to evaluate functional outcomes of a new, intraoperative lateral positioning of the anchors on the tuber ischiadicum, in comparison to regular anatomical anchoring direct on top of the tuber ischiadicumafter hamstring muscle repair. This study is to quantify at least 2 years postoperative functional, biomechanical and clinical outcomes including side-to-side differences in muscle strength, unipedal balance, gait, jumping and squatting function, muscle activity, in patients treated by hamstring muscle repair.

The purpose of this study is 1) to develop and validate a new measurement to assess the length of the Achilles tendon after rupture, and 2) to examine if goniometer measurement of the ankle joint is a better method.

The objective of the Expanded Access Program is to provide HEMOLEVEN, a replacement coagulation factor XI, to patients with severe inherited factor XI deficiency where, in the opinion of the treating physician, the benefits of administering selectively the missing factor outweigh the potential risks associated with the administration of fresh-frozen plasma.

Multiple models of replacement tubes for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy are available in the market, however durability is variable. In a prospective randomized study, five commercial devices available in the market will be tested in 20 consecutive patients each. Tube performance will be observed during 6 months and durability will be assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves as well as Cox regression analysis.It is hypothesized that tube design and material will influence outcome.

The thymus gland is a specialized organ in the chest that plays a central role in the adaptive immune system throughout development until puberty. In response to stress, the fetal thymus gland may shrink, or involute. The investigators propose a prospective cohort study that will enroll pregnant women admitted to labor and delivery for the management of preterm labor and/or preterm premature rupture of membranes from 28-36 weeks gestation. Based on sonographic thymus measurements, the investigators will develop a clinical prediction tool to identify babies who are at increased risk for adverse neonatal outcomes. A reliable non-invasive predictor of adverse neonatal outcome using thymic ultrasound measurements has the potential to affect clinical management, improve outcomes for premature babies, and direct further research efforts.

The primary goal of this study is to determine if surgical repair of the distal biceps fully restores the supination strength of the forearm. Secondarily, the investigators want to examine the insertion site location of the tendon and determine if it correlates with the patients' functional outcome as determined by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAPS), and isometric supination torque testing.

Patients admitted to Haukeland University Hospital with either UIA or aSAH underwent a measurement of bioelectrical impedance and body mass composition using InBody 10. Lipids and lipoproteins were collected from plasma. 60 patients in total were included in the study.

The return to work in the military population after surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has been poorly investigated within the French armed forces. Only American studies are available and show that this surgery has a significant impact on the operational capacity of soldiers. ACL rupture is extremely frequent in active populations. This pathology has already been extensively explored in at-risk populations, particularly in sports. Most studies show that the resumption of sport is greatly affected by this pathology. Furthermore, an over-risk (10 times greater incidence of ACL rupture) in the military has been demonstrated.

The preterm prelabour rupture of membranes is defined as the spontaneous rupture of the fetal membranes before 37 completed weeks. Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes complicates up to 3% of pregnancies and is associated with 30-40% of preterm births. preterm prelabour rupture of membranes can result in significant neonatal morbidity and mortality, primarily from prematurity, sepsis, cord prolapse, and pulmonary hypoplasia. In addition, there are risks associated with chorioamnionitis and placental abruption The diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of the membranes is made by maternal history followed by a sterile speculum examination. If on speculum examination, no amniotic fluid is observed, clinicians should consider performing an insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 or placental alpha microglobulin-1 test of vaginal fluid to guide further management. One of the risks associated with preterm prelabour rupture of membranes is ascending infection leading to chorioamnionitis, and subsequent fetal and neonatal infection.
