Active clinical trials for "Rupture"

This will be a non-randomized, prospective, observational multi-center research study. Its purpose will be to assess the mortality and outcome of EVAR in patients with rAAA. As mentioned in the introduction, EVAR approach for ruptured bdominal aortic aneurysms is nowdays common clinical practice in many vascular centers , and the main treatment option in Hippokrateio General hospital. The same applies in all future participating vascular centers.

A suture is a biomedical device that is made of natural or synthetic materials. Sutures are used to close tissue surfaces until wounds heal and regain their ability to withstand normal stresses. Although different suture materials are available for various dental procedures, clinicians commonly neglect to select sutures based on their mechanical properties and capabilities. Instead, clinicians rely on their clinical experience to determine which suture material will suffice for wound closure and healing. To our knowledge, there have been no published studies detailing the results of mechanical testing on sutures after clinical application. The aim of this study is to clinically, histologically, and mechanically assess the four common sutures used in periodontal and dental surgery, with the hopes of providing clinicians with a guide that will allow them to choose sutures based on the clinical, histological, mechanical properties that best fit the stress and strain applied to the wound.

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.

Study title Spanish Registry of Pregnant Women with COVID-19 Protocol number and version Number 55/20. Version V8. Sponsors This registry is a project promoted by Dr. Oscar Martínez Pérez of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Principal investigator of the registry National coordinator: Dr. Óscar Martínez Pérez. Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department. Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Majadahonda. Epidemiologist: Maria Luisa de la Cruz Conti Researchers for each site: 100 sites from 32 Spanish provinces are included (Appendix 1) Funding Neither the hospitals nor the participating investigators will receive any financial compensation for their collaboration. A bank account has been opened at the hospital's Biomedical Research Foundation to receive donations: COV20/00021 - SARS-COV-2 and the COVID-19 disease Call financed by the Carlos III Institute of Health and co-financed with ERDF funds. Abstract Rationale: Knowledge about the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on pregnancy is still scarce and all current recommendations are based on less than 100 cases published in the literature. To identify moderate effects (such as vertical transmission, obstetric morbidity, foetal death, maternal or neonatal death) and to allow accurate risk estimates, larger sample sizes than those currently available are required. Methods: Prospective observational study of pregnant women in whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is suspected at any time during pregnancy with positive test results for SARS-CoV-2, in order to create a registry of baseline characteristics of the pregnant woman, aspects related to the course of pregnancy and delivery, and related to the new-born, with an observation period of up to 14 days after delivery. Subsequently, several phased studies will be conducted to help establish and monitor the set of measures to improve the care of pregnant women. Discussion: The national registry for COVID-19 in pregnancy described here is a tool for sharing and centralizing data related to exposures to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy in a structured way. It should speed up the process of prospectively obtaining a large unbiased data set and will collect information at national level.

Finding a predictive biomarker for IAI could improve the clinical outcome for the mother and the neonate. The aim of this study is to quantify the copy number of circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA in maternal serum and the placenta compared to controls.the investigators hypothesise that circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA levels could help predict the likelihood of early inflammation in IAI. In addition, mitochondrial DNA could be a promotor triggering the pathogenesis of systemic inflammation.

The objectives of this clinical investigation are to evaluate the safety and performance of the Freedom Total Knee® PCK System.

According to high tendency for admission of cases of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) for fear of maternal & fetal complications, we compare here between cases managed at hospital with other managed at home for if there any difference between in maternal and neonatal outcome.

This study is to compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes in the patients with PPROM who are managed at home versus those managed at hospital, half the patients will be managed at home and the other half will be managed inpatient.

Purpose: Non-traumatic rupture of the spleen should be suspected when patients (especially young men) present with abdominal pain and a history of acute infectious or myeloproliferative disorders. Preoperative imaging studies in hemodynamically stable patients may obviate the need for surgery even in the presence of massive hemoperitoneum. The purpose of this research is to inform acute management where spontaneous rupture is suspected in order to avoid surgery where appropriate, rationalise angiographic intervention and blood transfusion. Hypothesis: Indentifying the cause of injuries can help target preventative intervention. Background: Non-traumatic rupture of the spleen is a rare condition. It may occur in the diseased spleen secondary to a variety of pathologies including malaria and myeloproliferative disorders. In some cases rupture may occur in an apparently normal spleen. The incidence, symptoms, causes, therapy and prognosis are poorly defined. The investigators, therefore, propose an extension of retrospective analysis conducted, presented and published in 2003 to examine all the cases of non-traumatic splenic rupture treated at Ziv Medical Centre from the last 26 years to present. Methods: Analysis of the medical notes of all patients with spontaneous splenic rupture in the medical archives. The investigators hope to determine the true incidence of this condition within the local population, increasingly diverse in origin, travel and the incidence of predisposing infectious disease; and to devise a practical protocol in their safe diagnosis and management, especially as non-operative interventions have grown in safety and effectiveness. Discussion: Although rare, spontaneous splenic rupture may be fatal if not suspected or treated inappropriately. Understanding the pitfalls in diagnosis and management better informs decision making towards improved care of these patients.

To study the association between maternal serum vitamin C concentration in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and women without PPROM.
