Active clinical trials for "Rupture"

Anterior cruciate ligament injury is very common knee injury. Especially Anterior cruciate ligament complete rupture leads to knee joint instability and degenerative change of the knee. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is performed for resolving these problems and it gives excellent results. For leading to successful result of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, selecting of appropriate femoral tunnel and tibial tunnel is necessary. If selecting inappropriate tibial tunnel location makes pain, synovitis, impingement of transplanted tendon, loss of range of motion, instability, failure of transplantation and risk of arthritis. It is known that selection of inappropriate tibial tunnel location is the most common cause of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure. Recently many studies reconstructed at anatomical lesion instead of isometric point. And some cadaver studies reported that tibial insertion of anterior cruciate ligament has "C" shape. There are two methods for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. One is preserving remnant and the other is removing remnant. This study aims to compare the tibia and femoral tunnel location of remnant preserving and remnant resecting anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The supraspinatus is a relatively small muscle of the upper back that runs from the supraspinatus fossa superior portion of the scapula to the greater tubercle of the humerus. It is one of the four rotator cuff muscles and also abducts the arm at the shoulder. A supraspinatus tear is a tear or rupture of the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle.

Multicentre prospective registry including consecutive patients undergoing Percutaneous Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (PEVAR), Percutaneous Endovascular Thoracic Aneurysm Repair (PTEVAR) or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in which variables related to the percutaneous access closure for implanting devices at aorta level will be collected and analyzed. The follow-up period will be 30 days after the procedure. The duration of the recruitment period will be one year. All data will be collected telematically and incorporated into a database for subsequent statistical analysis. There will be 2 points for data interim analysis at 6 and 12 months after initiation of the study.

For patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture, the existing physical examinations have certain limitations. The researchers improved the traditional anterior drawer test in clinical work, maintained the flexion of the knee and flexion of the hip, and observed the displacement of the tibia. Good diagnostic effect, but no research statistics. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the 90° of hip flextion anterior drawer test in the diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

To find superiority relationship between oral and intravenous administration of tranexamic acid on peroperative and postoperative blood loss, haemarthrosis prevalence and improvement functional prognosis in anterior cruciate ligament arthroscopy.

High incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis and gait analysis are important for early assessment of biomechanics. ACL injury is an ideal clinical model for studying knee osteoarthritis. To clarify the mechanism between the biomechanical status of knee joint and the change of gait touch information, and to provide scientific basis for quantifying and evaluating the biomechanical status of knee joint in dynamic load-bearing state.

Introduction: To evaluate the maternal blood serum melatonin, soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, and orosomucoid 2 levels in pregnant women complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and to compare the results with healthy pregnancies. In addition, to determine whether maternal/umbilical cord blood concentrations of melatonin, soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, and orosomucoid 2 are of value in the diagnosis of histological chorioamnionitis in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Methods: This cohort study will be included 44 pregnant women with PPROM and 44 gestational age-matched healthy subjects in 24-32 weeks of pregnancy. The blood for analysis will be firstly obtained in maternal blood on the day of diagnosis at the study group. Healthy subjects who have a normal pregnancy and outcomes without any fetal-neonatal complications will be accepted into the control group. Forty-four gestational age-matched healthy pregnant women who will be delivered at term will be included in the study as the control group. In the control group, the pregnant women will be taken the maternal blood at the admission day. The women in both groups will be observed until the delivery and perinatal data will be noted. Then, the blood for analysis will be secondly obtained in maternal blood during termination of the pregnancy (or spontaneous labor) at the study group. Lastly, the blood for analysis will be also obtained in umbilical cord blood at the study group. These three markers levels will be measured using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The placenta will be sent to histological examination in the study group. These three markers levels in women with PPROM will be compared to those of volunteer healthy pregnant women. In the study group, these three markers levels at maternal serum and cord serum will be evaluated for histological chorioamnionitis and maternal/neonatal outcomes.

There is no consensus around the world on the treatment of preterm rupture of membranes, which is one of the important causes of early neonatal sepsis and one of the common causes of prematurity. Different countries, hospitals and physicians can determine different treatment approaches. There is very little scientific data on the benefit of commonly used treatment regimens other than experience. In this study, scientific results will be obtained by comparing the efficacy of treatments (Sulbactam ampicillin or azithromycin ampicillin) in two different hospitals (Hacettepe University Perinatology Clinic and Ankara City Hospital Perinatology Clinic), and it will be shown which treatment regimen reduces early neonatal sepsis and inflammation better. Some samples (vaginal IL-6, vaginal-cervical swab samples for atypical bacteria, cervical swab samples for direct microscopy, serum IL-6) will be taken from pregnant women who develop membrane rupture and these samples will be used as initial inflammation markers. Each physician will decide on the treatment of his own patient, there will be no intervention in the treatment of the patient within the scope of the research. Patients will continue their routine follow-up after receiving their treatment. When the delivery occurs, the level of IL-6 in the cord blood will be examined with other inflammation markers (procalcitonin, crp, complete blood count), and the neonatal inflammation status of the baby will be determined. The low inflammation markers detected in the babies of pregnant women with high initial inflammation values will be compared and it will be determined which treatment is more effective. At the same time, routine neonatal intensive care follow-ups of these babies will be continued and treatment efficiency in terms of early neonatal sepsis will be determined. This study will present scientific data on which treatment is effective in the literature and will guide international treatment guidelines. At the same time, preterm rupture of membranes will show which bacterial agent plays a more role in the etiology and which of the inflammation markers have more sensitivity and specificity, as well as the success of the treatment, which is the subject of the study. The routine use of some examinations (such as cervical PCR) performed before the treatment begins, is a guide in the selection of agent-specific treatment and may shorten the unnecessary drug use and hospital stay; The management of patients may vary according to the initial inflammation parameters. Physicians evaluating the results of this study can evaluate the risk of their babies in terms of early neonatal sepsis according to the initial inflammation values of their patients, and increase and decrease the length of hospital stay.

Retrospective cohort study. The investigators evaluated the early, middle and long term effects of different surgical methods of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on knee function. In the evaluation, the investigators focused on the differences between different age groups, different genders and different basic motor states, the differences between early reconstruction and non-early reconstruction, and the differences in clinical outcomes of different surgical methods.

Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is associated with neonatal complications leading to a high rate of cerebral palsy, sepsis, and death. Choosing the best time of delivery is crucial to improve fetal outcome. The balance is between a premature delivery exposing the infant to all the risk of prematurity, and keeping the baby in utero, prolonging the exposure to an adverse intrauterine milieu. There are no objective and reproducible tools to help in this decision-making process. Techniques most frequently used for fetal surveillance are biased by high inter- and intra-observer variability. Computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) identifies several objective parameters related to fetal heart rate (FHR) to determine fetal well-being. cCTG has been successfully used in fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction, but it has never been used in prospective studies to assess its role in the management of fetuses with PPROM. The investigators designed a case control study to highlight cCTG differences in PPROM pregnancies versus physiological pregnancies, to establish the effectiveness in predicting adverse outcome, and to develop a score to predict neonatal outcome.
