Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

Acute kidney injury is a complex clinical syndrome,associated with high short and long- term morbidity and mortality in critical ill patients.Acute kidney injury outcomes may vary from a complete resolution to a partial or incomplete recovery of renal function leading to increased mortality,prolonged hospitalization and risk of chronic comorbidities . The precise mechanism of acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease transition is complex and not completely understood,especially in humans .Acute kidney injury outcomes depend upon the balance of adaptive and maladaptive repair.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is classically described as an abrupt or rapidly reversible reduction in the excretion of nitrogenous waste products, including urea, nitrogen and creatinine. Acute kidney injury definition emphasizes on the filtration function of the kidney, a measure that is unique and easily and routinely measured . Acute kidney injury is associated with significantly increased resource utilization and health care costs. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after non cardiac surgery are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The reported incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction (POMI) among patients undergoing non cardiac surgery is between 3% and 6%.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the risk, consequences and epidemiology of electric scooter accidents admitted to the emergency room at St. Pierre University Hospital. This prospective observational study aims to include any patient admitted to the Adult Emergency Department of St.Pierre University Hospital Brussels following an accident related to the use of an electric scooter in order to describe and understand the epidemiology, complications and treatment of injuries associated with this means of transport. It is intended to include all accidents occurring in the emergency room during the period from 01/06/2019 to 30/06/2020.

This study is a cross-sectional survey in patients who underwent treatment of chronic cutaneous wounds from a nationally representative sample in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2018．

Understanding how candidate genes, previously associated with injury susceptibility, influence the incidence of muscle, bone, ligament, and tendon injuries across the development pathway of elite footballers may provide valuable insight into inherent injury predisposition to support the long-term development of every individual. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the association between candidate genetic variants and muscle, bone, ligament, and tendon injuries in elite football with sub-analysis of the influence of age and maturation on injury susceptibility.

Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major complication which may result in adverse impact on short- and long-term mortality. The investigatorshere developed several prediction models based on machine learning technique to allow early identification of patients who at the high risk of unfavorable kidney outcomes. The retrospective study comprised 2108 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery from January 2017 to December 2020.

The research aimed to predict postoperative acute kidney injury in patients with acute type A aortic dissection preliminarily by exploring the correlation of preoperative cystatin C level and incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury and combining with relevant risk factors.

To validate Urinary Biomarkers for the prediction of AKI in major abdominal surgery patients

The aim of this study is to systematically explore the perioperative presence of P acnes in all layers of sternal wound incision as well as contamination of graft material and prosthetic valves during primary operation. Secondly, to compare if different regimes of antibiotics affects the bacterial growth. Cultures will be taken from the skin, subcutaneous, and from the implanted valve prostheses with a rayon swab.Graft and Felt material will, after being pressed subcutaneous for 15 sec, placed into prepared sterile bottles containing broth for aerobe and anaerobe cultures. Surgical gloves will be cultured.

A prospective single-centre non-comparative non-interventional open study has been designed to validate, in a target number of 100 trauma patients, the correlation between TICCS evaluated on the site of injury and thromboelastography made on a whole blood sample taken at the latest 30 min after patient's arrival in the resuscitation room. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity to discriminate trauma patients suffering from active bleeding and arly acute coagulopathy of trauma and needing Damage control resuscitation from those without this aggravating combination with a new purely clinical easy-to-measure pre-hospital score: the Trauma Induced Coagulopathy Clinical Score (TICCS).
