biguanides and Infection

biguanides has been researched along with Infection in 2 studies

Biguanides: Derivatives of biguanide (the structure formula HN(C(NH)NH2)2) that are primarily used as oral HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS for the treatment of DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2 and PREDIABETES.
biguanides : A class of oral hypoglycemic drugs used for diabetes mellitus or prediabetes treatment. They have a structure based on the 2-carbamimidoylguanidine skeleton.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The TIME acronym (tissue, infection/inflammation, moisture balance and edge of wound) was first developed more than 10 years ago, by an international group of wound healing experts, to provide a framework for a structured approach to wound bed preparation; a basis for optimising the management of open chronic wounds healing by secondary intention."2.48Extending the TIME concept: what have we learned in the past 10 years?(*).

Trial Outcomes

Wound QoL Subscore; Body Dimension

"The Wound-QoL is a tool to measure disease-specific, health-related quality of life of patients with chronic wounds. It consists of 17 items on impairments which is assessed for the previous 7 days and is competed by the patient. It has 3 subscales that can assess Body, Psyche and Everyday Life. It can be used in clinical and observational studies and in daily practice.~Subscale Body consists of Items #1 to #5. Each individual item is rated on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The average of the subscale can be computed if no more than 1 item of the subscale is missing. The higher values represents more of an impact to the patient for that item." (NCT03369756)
Timeframe: 5 weeks overall (4 weeks of treatment and/or observations followed by a one-day visit at end of study in week 5)

Wound QoL Subscore; Everyday Life Dimension

"The Wound-QoL is a tool to measure disease-specific, health-related quality of life of patients with chronic wounds. It consists of 17 items on impairments which is assessed for the previous 7 days and is competed by the patient. It has 3 subscales that can assess Body, Psyche and Everyday Life. It can be used in clinical and observational studies and in daily practice.~Subscale Everyday Life consists of Items #Items #11 to #16. Each individual item is rated on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The average of the subscale can be computed if no more than 1 item of the subscale is missing. Generally, the higher values represents more of an impact to the patient for that item." (NCT03369756)

Wound Size

Change in wound size from Baseline/Week 1 to Final/Week 5. The change in the size of a wound will be evaluated using a disposable ruler to directly measure the overall wound dimensions at each scheduled visit to the study site (Weeks 1 and 5). These measurements will be done before any cleaning of the wound and after cleaning the wound (debridement). (NCT03369756)
Timeframe: 5 weeks overall (4 weeks of treatment and/or observations followed by a one-day visit at end of study in week 5)

Wound-QoL Global Score

"The Wound-QoL is a tool to measure disease-specific, health-related quality of life of patients with chronic wounds. It consists of 17 items on impairments which is assessed for the previous 7 days and is competed by the patient. It has 3 subscales that can assess Body, Psyche and Everyday Life. These subscales cover items 1 to 16. Item 17 is not part of any of the subscales. The Wound-QoL can be used in clinical and observational studies and in daily practice.~Each individual item is rated on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). A Total or Global score is the average of at least 13 completed questions, regardless of which questions were not completed. The average of each of the 3 subscales can be computed if no more than 1 item of the subscale is missing. The higher values represents more of an impact to the patient for that item." (NCT03369756)
