| NCT00405158 ↗ | Study of Acupuncture and Care Interventions for the Treatment of Breast Inflammation During Breastfeeding | Completed | Karlstad University | N/A | 2002-01-01 | The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that acupuncture treatment hastens recovery time from inflammatory symptoms of the breast during breastfeeding. 205 mothers with 210 cases of breast inflammation (commonly called "mastitis") during breastfeeding were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. There were two groups where acupuncture was used and one without acupuncture. The mothers symptoms were recorded at the onset of health care contact and daily until recovery. All care interventions given, including antibiotic therapy, were monitored. Women who participated were asked to leave a breast milk sample to test for bacterial growth. It was found that acupuncture did not shorten the women's contacts with health care services but did improve their symptoms on contact days 3 and 4. It was seen in this study that only 15 % of women were prescribed antibiotics which was a very low rate of prescription compared to USA, Canada, Australia, Turkey and New Zealand where up to 100% are given antibiotics. Seven women (3.3% of those in the study) developed a breast boil and this is a similar number to a study in Australia where many more were treated by antibiotics. This could mean that many women throughout the world are given antibiotics when in fact they may recover without them. This is an important finding in relation to the fight against antibiotic resistant bacteria. |
| NCT00834275 ↗ | Cefadroxil 500 mg Capsules Under Fasting Conditions | Completed | Teva Pharmaceuticals USA | Phase 1 | 2004-09-01 | The objective of this study is to compare the relative bioavailability of cefadroxil 500 mg capsules (manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA) with that of DURICEF® 500 mg capsules (manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) when dosed (1 x 500 mg capsules) in normal healthy non-smoking male and female subjects under fasting conditions. |
| NCT00835081 ↗ | Cefadroxil 500 mg Capsules in Normal Healthy Non-Smoking Male and Female Subjects. | Completed | Teva Pharmaceuticals USA | Phase 1 | 2004-09-01 | The objective of this study is to compare the relative bioavailability of cefadroxil 500 mg capsules (manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA) with that of DURICEF® 500 mg capsules (manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company) when dosed (1 x 500 mg capsules) in normal healthy non-smoking male and female subjects under fed conditions. |
| NCT01244698 ↗ | Postoperative Antibiotic Requirements Following Immediate Breast Reconstruction | Completed | Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation | Phase 4 | 2010-11-01 | Antibiotics are used routinely in postoperative tissue expander based breast reconstruction (TE) and autologous flap (AF) breast reconstruction procedures. Closed suction drains are also used routinely in immediate breast reconstruction to prevent fluid accumulation and seroma formation at the surgical sites. Antibiotics are most often prescribed as a precaution since drains can be a source for infection by creating open channels to outside contaminants. Plastic surgery patients without closed suction drainage devices are usually not placed on prolonged postoperative antibiotics. Current preoperative surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for up to 24 hours only. These recommendations do not take into account the increased risk of indwelling closed suction drains. A recent survey of plastic surgeons, conducted by SBUMC investigators, (IRB# 129415) found that Plastic Surgeons are divided as to extended outpatient administration following TE breast reconstruction. The study plans to prospectively enroll patients who will undergo immediate breast reconstruction with TE or AF based breast reconstruction. Using the above data and the current protocol, the investigators will investigate the optimal antibiotic discontinuation period for these patients. The investigators hypothesize that the use of 24-hour perioperative antibiotics in TE or AF based immediate breast reconstruction with closed suction drainage, does not result in an increased infection rate compared to prolonged postoperative antibiotic administration. |
