All clinical trials

Extensively and multi-drug resistant A. baumannii (AB) represent an emerging threat in hospitals locally and worldwide. There is lack of prospective comparative clinical data to guide optimal strategy for treating such infections. Since it remains unclear how to treat bacteremia caused by AB, the present study aims to enroll patients at multiple sites with extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter species bacteremia receiving different combination therapy to assess treatment outcomes and analyze risk factors associated with mortality.

The investigators will obtain human skin specimen (sized approximately 1 cm x 1 cm) for dermatological surgical patients in National Taiwan University Hospital, after informed consent was obtained. Human skin keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and melanocytes will be cultured from the human skin specimen. The three dimensional images of these cultured cells will be observed by a ultra-high resolution 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography.

The purpose of this human clinical trial is to validate the accuracy of Jetguide® US device in detecting the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) and to compare it to measurements performed on computerized tomography images.

The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term complaints after ventral hernia repair after insertion of different types of mesh compared with primary suture. Also recurrence of hernia will be discussed.

Prediction of Low Birth Weight Infants using Ultrasound Measurement of Placental Diameter and Thickness

Retrospective observational study of patients with atrial fibrillation admitted to Roskilde University Hospital in 2010.

The main purpose of the protocol is to collect and evaluate performance data after patients undergoing various interventional endoscopy procedures performed at H. H. Chao Comprehensive Digestive Disease Center (CDDC).

The purpose of this study is to explore the value of CD4+T lymphocyte subsets in cell immunity in the patients with sepsis.There are immunoparalysis in septic patients,the important player is the change of CD4+T lymphocyte,this immunoparalysis state contribute to the illness progress and outcome. Comprehend the change regularity of septic patients' cell immunity can guide fiter and correcter treatment.

There is increased frequency of asthma in obese patients. This study is trying to find out if there is a difference in the presence of bronchospasm during anesthesia in obese and non obese patients.

In this study, the body temperatures of men and women undergoing elective surgery will be measured using the Temple Touch Pro. In the operating room, each patient's temperature will be measured with both the Temple Touch Pro and another one or two of the continuous reference methods used clinically for measuring the core temperature. The Medisim Temple Touch Pro thermometer combines a noninvasive, biocompatible patch and a receiving unit. The former is attached to the skin, while the latter is placed near the patient or the vital signs monitor and receives data from the patch. The core temperature equivalent is displayed. The Medisim Temple Touch Pro is based on the measurements made by conductive sensors that perform skin temperature measurements and then applies a special algorithm in order to calculate the body's temperature.
