Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antipyretic effect of bromocriptine in critically-ill patients with acute neurologic injury and fever from infectious and non-infectious etiologies.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with remote ischemic conditioning is of sufficient promise to improve outcome before conducting a larger clinical trial to examine its effectiveness as a treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage.
Our primary aim is to investigate whether remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) as an adjunctive treatment can improve long-term recovery in acute stroke patients as an adjunct to standard treatment.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the elderly with high risk of recurrence. The investigators aim to determine the relationship between cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), a MRI hemorrhagic marker of CAA and the risk of symptomatic ICH recurrence in a multicentric prospective cohort of patients with acute lobar ICH related to CAA. The investigators hypothesize that patients with cSS have an increased risk of recurrent symptomatic ICH relative to those without cSS.
This study compares the neuroinflammatory response in patients with hypertensive ICH associated with IVH treated with intraventriculary applied rtPA, and the control group. The inflammatory mediator concentration is analyzed in local cerebrospinal liquor.
Serum uric acid level is a commonly measured biomarker. The association between serum uric acid level and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases has been observed in some studies, while others showed controversial results. Estimation of this association may help to predict cardiovascular outcomes and may guide new treatment strategies. The hypothesis is that increased serum uric acid level is associated with a range of cardiovascular diseases.
Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) affects approximately 100,000 Americans yearly. Up to 30-50% of ICH is fatal, and those patients who survive are often left with significant neurologic dysfunction. In the past, medical management (e.g., control of hypertension, reversal of antiplatelet or anticoagulants) had been the most effective treatment for these patients, given the morbidity and mortality associated with open surgical treatment for evacuation of ICH. However, recent trials have demonstrated that minimally invasive stereotactic neurosurgical procedures to evacuate ICH are safe and result in improved outcomes for these patients. Initial attempts to evaluate the efficacy of surgical evacuation of ICH found no significant difference between medical management and standard craniotomy for surgical evacuation. Indeed, open surgery was often discouraged for these patients due to the significant morbidity and mortality associated with the surgical procedure itself. However, research has demonstrated that minimally invasive, image guided stereotactic frame-based and frameless methods are effective and safe for the placement of catheters for clot aspiration and fibrinolytic therapy of ICH in the basal ganglia and other deep seated regions. Larger randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that these minimally invasive approaches also offer clinical benefit for these patients.
Brain bleed in premature infants damages the brain and survivors suffer from cerebral palsy (weakness in the extremities), cognitive deficits, and neurobehavioral disorders. In this clinical trial, investigators will test whether thyroxine (hormone from thyroid gland) treatment in premature infants with moderate-to-large brain bleeds show recovery in the brain structure on MRI evaluation at the time of discharge (44+/-1 weeks) and neurodevelopmental improvement at 2 years of age.
In order to determine the effectiveness and safety of early vitamin K1 use in reducing the risk of bleeding and improving prognosis in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (excluding rupture of aneurysm and vascular malformation) will be randomly divided into experimental group and control group. All the patients in the two groups were treated according to the guideline of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients in the experimental group was treated with intravenous injection of vitamin K1 20mg once a day for 2 days after admission, and the patients in control group was treated with normal saline as a control. The hematoma volume, coagulation function, platelet levels and GCS scales of the two groups will be recorded in 0d, 1d, 3d, 7d post bleeding stroke, furthermore, length of ICU stay and total hospitalization, incidence of complications during hospitalization are to be recorded. During the follow-up, mRS score will be recorded at 1m and 6m post bleeding stroke.
The study is a prospective phase II randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigator-driven trial in acute intracerebral haemorrhage patients. The study has 2 arms with 1:1 randomisation to either intravenous tranexamic acid or placebo and will test the hypothesis that in patients with spontaneous ICH, treatment with tranexamic acid within 2 hours of onset will reduce haematoma expansion compared to placebo.
