ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Efficacy of short wave diathermy (SWD) in the treatment of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 61 adult patients, who had been diagnosed with UNE clinically and
In the United States more than 5 million patients each year get a central venous catheter. Indications for central venous catheterization include infusion of irritant drugs like chemotherapy or total parenteral nutrition, poor peripheral venous access and long term administration of drugs such as
Thyroid surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide . Nowadays, total thyroidectomy is the recommended procedure for thyroid disease . As total thyroidectomy is the procedure of choice, the most common complication resulting after this surgery is transient
Participants:
Nine participants will be recruited through a convenience sampling of patients as they become available through referral by physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practioners to the researcher's clinic for hand therapy, meet the study's eligibility criteria and provide informed
Pain following urethroplasty with buccal mucosal graft (BMG) harvesting is primarily related to the oral graft harvest site. This pain results in significant increases in narcotic use, patient morbidity, and limits nutritional intake following surgery. During BMG harvesting, lidocaine with
Methodological Design
1. Type of research: Experimental study, of type randomized clinical trial (RCT).
2. Conceptual definition of the variables;
- Ascending effect: Excitation effect on the nervous system by a longitudinal direct current application (Longitudinal Galvanization), in which the anode
This project is a randomized controlled trial with the aim of comparing efficacy of image (ultrasound)-guided administration of perineural combination of steroids and local anesthetic (current standard of care) against perineural local anesthetic (LA) or saline in providing sustained analgesic
At Marmur Medical, subjects will be recruited and consented prior to any study evaluations or procedures; if subjects meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, participants will be enrolled into this study. Informed consent will clearly say the use of hyaluronic acid filler for the treatment of dorsal
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16
This is a pilot study, to assist with determining appropriate BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxin A) dosing and injection locations in patients suffering from CTS.
Outcome measures will be obtained at follow-up at 6, 12, and 18 weeks post BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxin A) injection and post saline injection using
Acetazolamide, or Diamox, is the standard medical prophylaxis agent for high altitude illness. The medication is effective in preventing acute mountain sickness (AMS), high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), and high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). Its mechanism is via inhibition of the carbonic
Currently available amino amide local anesthetics (e.g. bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine) do not reliably provide analgesia beyond roughly 8 hours following subcutaneous infiltration. In addition, they can cause systemic toxicities such as seizures, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest, as well
In an effort to shorten hospital stay and to further decrease mortality, a new antivenom has been developed. This antivenom is a third generation F(ab')2 "fabotherapeutic" agent.It is administered intravenously which should lead to rapid neutralization of circulating venom. This study will
In the treatment arm, the PEMF would be automatically delivered for 15 minutes every two hours for one month. The manufacturer (Ivivi Technologies, Inc., Northvale, NJ) has already designed a lightweight, disposable device that can be placed around the patient's arm and taped in place. The patient
Background
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disease which affects, among other organs, the respiratory tree. The major cause of mortality and morbidity in CF are pulmonary infections caused by a limited number of bacteria, in particular gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa
