Understanding Experiences of People With Spinal Cord Injury Undergoing Activity-based Rehabilitation...
Spinal Cord InjuriesIncomplete cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) makes up half of all the newly admitted patients. For these individuals, the use of their upper limbs is critical for managing daily activities and self-care and impacts their quality of life. For home-based monitored rehabilitation, also called telerehabilitation, there are various rehabilitation equipment that are used. No studies have systematically gathered information regarding the perceptions of individuals with SCI regarding these equipment, training, and feasibility within the home. Further, their perceptions of the usability of high vs low end equipment is also not explored. In this study, investigators plan to gather survey and interview data from individuals with SCI regarding their experience with using rehabilitation equipment that uses games, muscle stimulation, and object manipulation. This study will inform the development of a tele-rehabilitation intervention in the future.

Motor, Sensory, and Autonomic Function in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury After the LION Procedure....
Spinal Cord InjuriesPossover pioneered a minimally invasive and fully reversible laparoscopic technique, laparoscopic implantation of neuroprosthesis (LION), for precise placement of an implantable pulse generator and one to four leads for stimulating nerves of the lumbosacral plexus. Unexpectedly, Possover in 2014 made the clinical observation that four patients with complete and incomplete chronic traumatic spinal cord injury regained significant motor and sensory function following the LION procedure for bladder and bowel dysfunction. The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate whether the LION procedure and the subsequent neurostimulation in individuals with chronic traumatic thoracolumbar spinal cord injury with spastic paraplegia is associated with increased walking capacity.
Acute Kidney Injury Standardized Clinical Assessment and Management Plan for Renal Replacement Initiation...
Acute Kidney InjuryThis study is of a clinical decision support tool for clinicians taking care of patients with severe acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit. Nephrologists will be given a standardized clinical assessment and management plan (SCAMP), which is a tool to assist clinicians in decision making on the need for renal replacement therapy (Mendu et al., CJASN 2017). In alternating months, nephrologists will be given the SCAMP vs. another simplified form. The goal is to test whether patients whose clinicians are asked to fill out the SCAMP have improved outcomes compared to the control group. The investigators are also collecting information about provider adherence to the SCAMP and deviations from the SCAMP recommendations to understand clinical decision making related to renal replacement.
Incidence and Prognostic Factors for Lower Extremities Injuries in Polish Youth Soccer Academy....
Musculoskeletal DiseasesAthletic InjuriesThe aim of our study is to obtain data on the occurrence of injuries, their mechanisms and types among children and adolescents from a youth soccer club. In addition, in order to determine the potential risk of injury, the investigators will examine the prognostic factors on the basis of tests assessing the antropometric, anatomical, physical and fitness characteristics.
Influence of Wrist Taping on Handgrip Strength in Crossfit Athletes
Sport InjuryHand Injury WristThe idea that the use of a wristband can increase the grip strength is old, but without systematic scientific evidence. Most Crossfit practitioners wear wrist bands during training because it is believed that the wristband increases the grip strength of the hand. The aim of this study is to to analyze the influence of the use of the wristband on the maximum force value and on the dynamic resistance of hand hold. A simple blind randomized cross-over trial will be performed.

Mean Healing Time of Wound After Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) Versus Conventional Dressing in Diabetic...
Diabetic Foot UlcerHealing Delayed2 moreComparison the mean healing time of wound after vacuum assisted closure(VAC) versus conventional dressing(CD) in diabetic foot ulcer(DFU) patients. DFUs are chronic wounds in diabetics resulting from ischemia, angiogenesis defects and impaired immunity. Different treatment modalities are available for treating DFUs. Amongst them VAC provides a new paradigm for diabetic wound dressing. Different studies concluded that DFUs treated with VAC are more likely to heal than CD. The average healing time varies greatly among different studies conducted. Therefore, we conducted this study to compare the mean healing time of wound after VAC and CD in DFU patients. Based on these results, the method with lesser healing time can be opted for our routine practice guidelines for DFU patient's management protocol.
Using a Brief Visuospatial Interference Intervention to Reduce Intrusive Memories Among Trauma Exposed...
TraumaThis research study is an extension on a study already preregistered NCT04209283 and is designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task (a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris") for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of trauma among trauma-exposed women in Iceland. This is a single case series using a within subject multiple baseline AB design. Participants will aim to complete a no-intervention phase ('A': baseline phase) of one week followed by a one-week intervention phase ('B'), including a one-session intervention with a researcher comprising the simple cognitive task, followed by instructions to continue using the technique self-guided in subsequent weeks. Participants will be asked to monitor the occurrence of intrusive memories of trauma in a daily diary. It is predicted that participants will report fewer intrusive memories during the intervention phase than during the preceding baseline phase and that the frequency of targeted intrusive memories is going to decrease relative to non-targeted intrusive memories. Furthermore, the investigators will explore whether having fewer intrusive memories has an impact on function and/or PTSD, depressive or anxiety symptoms.
