Pulse electromagnetic energy and pre-tibial lacerations: a randomized clinical trial.

Pulse electromagnetic energy and pre-tibial lacerations: a randomized clinical trial.

Pulsed electromagnetic energy and pre-tibial lacerations.

Sir In reference to the article on teaching trauma management in the accident and emergency department (Williams et al., 1991), we are concerned that it may perpetuate the myth that junior staff can and indeed should continue to manage critically injured patients. Many studies have shown that preventable trauma deaths can be reduced from 20-30% to less than 5% with appropriate organizational an...

Synthaderm in the management of pre-tibial lacerations: a controlled clinical study.

A clinical study of patients with pre-tibial lacerations at King's College Hospital and Guy's Hospital, London, England, compared a non-adhesive dressing with Synthaderm. Treatment was randomly allocated. At King's College Hospital, deep and superficial lacerations were equally distributed, the median time to healing with Synthaderm was significantly (P less than 0.02) reduced; and the median r...

Single-Agent Therapy for Low Risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (LRGTN): A Preliminary Report on a Randomized Clinical Trial to Compare Pulse-Methotrexate versus Pulse-Dactinomycin

The efficacy of single-agent chemotherapy for patients with low risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (LRGTN) with methotrexate or dactinomycin is well established, but efforts continue to reduce the toxicity, the patients time and cost of treatment. In a randomized clinical trial, we evaluated and compared the efficacy, toxicity and cost effectiveness of pulse-methotrexate versus pulse-dact...

posterior tibial nerve stimulation for treating neurologic bladder in women: a randomized clinical trial.

overactive bladder (oab) is a disabling disorder. treatment of cases with oab includes behavioral, pharmacological, surgical interventions and peripheral electrical stimulation. the goal of this study was to determine effects of posterior tibial nerve stimulation on sexual function and pelvic disorders in women with overactive bladder (oab). fifty women were randomly assigned to ptns (posterior...
