Active clinical trials for "Wounds and Injuries"

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common complication in patients after cardiac surgery. An usual estimation of risk for AKI is estimation of serum creatinine, which is unreliable indicator of AKI risk. Because of that, today different biomarkers are investigated to predict incidence for development AKI after cardiac surgery. This investigation will try to find potentially risk patients for developing AKI after cardiac surgery by using conventional markers (creatinine, glomerular filtration rate) in perioperative period comparing with two different biomarkers neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) which are proven markers in patients with increased risk for AKI development.

The purpose of this study is to track outcomes of the investigator's therapy approach with children of separation/divorce who have been exposed to parental conflict.

Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Prolonged Neurosurgical Operations

Cortical activity during rest and with stimulation by functional magnetic resonance imaging will be investigated in patients with OBPI.

This was a retrospective study of a clinical observational cohort. The patients were admitted and definitely diagnosed by liver biopsy as drug-induced liver injury from September 2014 to September 2019, in the Second Department of Liver Disease, Beijing Ditan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were enrolled, and these patients also met the RUCAM score and were clinically diagnosed as DILI. Baseline clinical data and follow-up biochemical data at 3, 6, and 12 months were collected. SPSS software was used to analyze the characteristics of clinical data and the dynamic changes of biochemical indicators. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors associated with the chronicity of DILI. Bivariate Logistic regression model and ROC curve were used to obtain the clinical indicators for combined diagnosis of chronicity of DILI patients. To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of drug-induced liver injury.

This study aims to assess the impact on the trauma team's situational awareness of using a dashboard to synthesize and disseminate available information on a critical patient incoming to the trauma center.

This research aims to study the occurrence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety or depression in the parents of a child who has been hospitalized in intensive care unit following a severe trauma.

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a highly heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by rash and myasthenia. Beside these, respiratory involvement is one of the common complications of DM. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) occur in approximately 90% of patients with DM, part of them may manifest rapidly progressive-interstitial lung disease (rp-ILD), which progresses into respiratory failure that is difficult to correct and leads to death. Early identification of rp-ILD high risk group is of great significance to improve the prognosis of patients and to conduct following clinical studies. A simple, easy, convenient and reliable diagnostic tool has not yet acquired till now.

The proposed study will establish novel relationships between intra-articular MSC recruitment, synovial inflammation, biomarkers of cartilage degeneration and joint inflammation, clinical patient factors, and downstream alterations in cartilage composition and morphology to provide novel insights into the pathoetiology of PTOA after ACL injury and reconstruction.

We know precisely which patients and when they should have an imaging test to evaluate a Head Injury (HI). But in those patients on anticoagulant and / or antiaggregant treatment we do not know the exact incidence of early and late hemorrhagic lesions, and there is no specific recommendation on how long they should remain under observation in the emergency department if no initial lesions are evident. Our goal is to try to answer these two questions.
