Article Synopsis
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is explored as a non-surgical treatment for de Quervain's tenosynovitis (DQT), aiming to enhance tendon healing.
- A systematic review of 275 studies identified 12 relevant studies, assessing their quality and bias, to analyze the effectiveness of PRP compared to conservative treatments.
- Results indicate that PRP injections lead to significant reductions in pain and improvements in wrist function over one and six months, suggesting PRP as a viable alternative treatment for DQT.
Aim: To assess the 4-year outcomes after Toupet-Sleeve (TS) gastrectomy in morbid obese patients with concomitant preoperative gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 19 consecutive patients operated on between August 2017 and February 2019. There were 5 men and 14 women with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 43 ± 5 kg/m and a mean age of 42 ± 15 years.
Background: A modified grass allergen subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) product with MicroCrystalline Tyrosine and monophosphoryl lipid-A as an adjuvant system (Grass MATA MPL [PQ Grass]) is being developed as short-course treatment of grass-pollen allergic rhinitis (SAR) and/or rhinoconjunctivitis. We sought to evaluate the combined symptom and medication score (CSMS) of the optimized cumulative dose of 27,600 standardized units (SU) PQ Grass in a field setting prior to embarking on a pivotal Phase III trial.
Methods: In this exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial subjects were enrolled across 14 sites (Germany and the United States of America).
