Filter by:The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate whether the Compuflo Epidural Instrument injection pump technology, which is FDA approved for lumbar epidural anesthesia, is also capable of identifying the thoracic epidural space through measurement of pressure levels. While this device is approved by the FDA for use in the procedure of the lumbar epidural, it is not used to perform the epidural procedure but rather to measure the epidural pressure. This study will likewise measure the epidural pressure.
A multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of BioGlue as an adjunct for structural repair and hemostasis to traditional surgical repair in Chinese subject with Acute type A aortic dissections.
The researchers are trying to see whether contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, shear wave elastography, strain imaging, and 3-D volume ultrasonography improves arterial wall visualization and identifies arterial elastic properties among individuals with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), atherosclerosis, personal history of spontaneous coronary artery dissections (SCAD), or personal history of segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) that may be different compared to those without the aforementioned conditions.
The registry study aims to determine serial biomarkers to diagnosis and prognosis of aortic aneurysm/aortic dissection.
Intracranial artery disease has been more detected with development of HR-MR. HR-MR can depict vascular wall directly and give us more information beyond the pre-existing imaging modalities such as digital subtraction angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, computed tomography angiography. Hence, HR-MR is considered to become promising imaging modality for intracranial artery disease and many studies have been published recently. However, there was not enough to differentiate various intracranial artery disease such as atherosclerosis, dissection, moyamoya disease, vasculitis, reversible vasoconstriction syndrome. In real clinical arena, intracranial artery disease is too difficult to diagnose and distinguish among the disease. Of the disease, usefulness of HR-MR has been consistently published in the detection and diagnosis of intracranial artery dissection recently. HR-MR seems to be the most important and reliable imaging method in intracranial artery dissection as of now. Therefore, intracranial artery dissection is necessary to study using HR-MR. Intracranial artery dissection is dynamic vascular pathology. The geometric change is the most common among intracranial artery disease. However, there was no report about the geometric change in HR-MR. The investigators acquired retrospective data about the natural course of intracranial artery dissection in HR-MR and are preparing for publishing an article. However, the data is not prospective and not intraindividual comparison. Therefore, reliability is not enough to convince the natural course. If the investigators got prospective and intraindividual data, definite natural course of intracranial artery dissection could be acquired and would be helpful to diagnose the dissection and differentiate from other vascular pathologies. The longitudinal information from this study could guide us as the important map on the confusing HR-MR findings. In addition, the previous retrospective study can be a stepping-stone to perform a prospective study, which can increase the success rate of the prospective study. The protocols for imaging follow-up are as followed: initial (optional), 1 month, 3 month, 6 month (optional), 12 month
This is a national registry study to determine genetic risk factor and serial biomarkers of thoracic aortic aneurysm/dissection
Intercostal nerve block, performed under the guidance of videoscope, is a part of standard anesthesia procedures for patients receiving Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgeries. In this double-blind, prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial the investigators aim to compare preemptive versus post-closure intercostal injection of ropivacaine in controlling post-video-assisted thoracotomy pain.
The My Research Legacy Pilot Study will establish a participant registry that collects self-reported health data and answers to online survey questions about individual daily choices, diets, and exercise; data from wearable devices; and, (optional) data from genome sequencing analysis. Individuals under the age of 50 who meet eligibility criteria will answer questions using the American Heart Association's (AHA) Life's Simple 7™ My Life Check v4.0 three times over the course of 6 months and transmit data from a Fitbit Charge 2 device. All other individuals who are interested in the study and meet entry criteria may also enroll.
