Impact of physical activity on surgery outcomes
This study is trying to see if being more physically active before surgery can help adults avoid complications and live longer after having non-heart-related surgery.
-
Enhanced vitals monitoring after major surgery
We will test whether extra in-hospital and at-home continuous vital-sign monitoring helps adults having major abdominal or vascular surgery spend more days alive at home in the first 30 days after surgery.
-
Evaluating the impact of walking on surgical outcomes
This study is trying to see if the number of steps people take before non-heart surgery can affect how well they recover afterwards.
-
Comparing Linezolid and Vancomycin for Preventing Surgical Site Infections
This study tests whether the antibiotics Linezolid or Vancomycin can better prevent infections after surgery in patients who can't take certain other antibiotics.
-
Determining the best IV fluid amount for children after trauma
This study is testing whether giving more or less IV fluid to children after a trauma helps them recover better.
-
Using MRI to Improve Treatment for Sigmoid Colon Cancer
This study is testing if using MRI scans can help doctors plan better treatments for patients with sigmoid colon cancer compared to regular CT scans.
