Perioperative Glucocorticoid Administration in the Treatment of Adult Distal Radius Fractures
Recruiting
The purpose of this investigation is to compare functional outcome measures and range of motion for patients receiving glucocorticoid (GC) injections versus those not receiving GCs for the treatment of distal radius fractures. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive GC will have improved ROM and functional outcome measures compared to patients who do not receive GC. In addition, this study aims to determine if there is a difference in rates of complications and postoperative pain... Read More

Plantar Fasciitis Randomized Clinical Control Trial
Recruiting
The primary aim of this clinical experiment is to compare, in terms of pain relief measured using the 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) pain score (5-7), the clinical results of ultrasound-guided injection (USGI) versus anatomic topography-guided injection (ATGI) of corticosteroid for the treatment of proximal PF. Secondary aims will be to compare foot-related quality of life, as measured using the Foot Function Index (FFI)and the Bristol Foot Score (BFS), between the injection groups, and also to... Read More

Geisinger Antibiotic Allergy Pilot Program: Assess and Address
Recruiting
This is a prospective non-inferiority study to evaluate penicillin allergy history in patients with reported penicillin allergy, who require penicillin or penicillin-derivative antibiotic during inpatient admission using a focused questionnaire. A simplified scoring system will be assigned to patient responses, and the total score will be utilized to identify low-risk patients that have a minimal risk of allergic reactions on exposure to penicillin or its derivative. Patients determined to have... Read More

Genetic and Epigenetic Basis of Chronic Wounds
Recruiting
This pilot study is designed for chronic wounds that fail to heal in a timely manner carry specific genetic signatures. These genetic signatures will be studied using debrided wound tissue that is removed by the wound care provider as part of standard of care. The reference genomic signature will be evaluated by obtaining blood samples and will be compared with wound debrided tissue genomic signature to understand wound specific genomic changes.
