Clinical Trial – Limb Salvage Through Tissue Engineering: A Novel Treatment Modality Using Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane
Extremity wounds with exposed critical structures, including bone and tendon are a major
burden on the American healthcare system with limited treatment options. Free Flap
reconstructions of lower extremity wounds have an increased failure rate in comparison to
elective free flap procedures.These procedures are long and are associated with a high cost
of care, prolonged hospital stays, and are limited by the need for surgical specialist
availability and patient vessels suitable for anastomoses. This study will use a new
treatment modality which is a commercially ready human amniotic membrane allograft (EpiFix)
to promote a granulation tissue wound base that will be suitable for skin grafting, thus
forgoing the need for a flap-based for reconstruction. The study goals are to reduce the
overall cost of providing definitive treatment by decreasing operative time, length of
hospital stay, decrease the need for intensive nursing care and rehabilitation. This study
will aim to provide a treatment option that is readily accessible to all patients with these
complex wounds in any healthcare setting across the country.
The Value of Extended Nursing Services on Patients with Bladder Cancer after Endoscopic Bladder Resection.
Abstract: In this study, specific measures of extended nursing services and its values on patients with bladder cancer after endoscopic bladder electrosection were examined. Sixty-six patients diagnosed with bladder cancer in Laiwu People's...
Protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPRB regulates Src phosphorylation and tumour progression in NSCLC.
Abstract: Protein tyrosine-phosphatases (PTPs) play important roles in various biological processes. Deregulation in PTP function has been implicated in carcinogenesis and tumour progression in many cancer types. However, the role of protein...
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion: A Literature Review and the Rationale for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion is visually devastating and has no proven treatments. The therapeutic interval between symptom onset and potentially sight-saving intervention is narrow. Traditional conservative approaches include digital...
A Case of Survival: Myocardial Infarction and Ventricular Arrhythmia Induced by Severe Hydrogen Sulfide Poisoning.
Abstract: Most cases of acute hydrogen sulfide (H2S) poisoning in China are caused by sewage processing. With the rapid development of urbanization in China, H2S poisoning is showing an increasing trend. Here, we report a case of survival from...
Hyperbaric oxygen alleviates the activation of NLRP‑3‑inflammasomes in traumatic brain injury.
Abstract: Growing evidence has demonstrated that the nucleotide‑binding oligomerization domain‑like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP‑3) inflammasome‑mediated inflammatory pathways have been involved in the secondary injury of...
Dexamethasone Does Not Inhibit Sugammadex Reversal After Rocuronium-Induced Neuromuscular Block.
Abstract: Sugammadex is a relatively new molecule that reverses neuromuscular block induced by rocuronium. The particular structure of sugammadex traps the cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene ring of rocuronium in its hydrophobic cavity. Dexamethasone...
Clinical Trial – intrathecaم Ketamine, Morphine and Both for Lower Abdominal Cancer Surgery Pain
this study investigates the analgesic efficacy and other possible effects of ketamine,
morphine, and both together when administered intrathecally for control of postoperative pain
following lower abdominal cancer surgeries.
Cardioprotective Effects of Combined Therapy with Hyperbaric Oxygen and Diltiazem Pretreatment on Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats.
Abstract: In this study, we examined whether the combination of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and diltiazem therapy provided a cardioprotective effect on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) rat model. Sixty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were...
