Filter by:Through this study, the investigators are to prove that Cilostazol effectively prevent progression of intima-medial thickness in ischemic stroke patients with high risk of cerebral hemorrhage, along with no significant increase in the risk of occurrence of hemorrhagic side effects. The primary hypothesis of this study is; Cilostazol alone or with probucol will reduce the progression of intima-medial thickness compared to aspirin in the ischemic stroke patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic old cerebral hemorrhage.
The Addressing Real-world Anticoagulant Management Issues in Stroke (ARAMIS) registry is designed to provide important and timely insight into the management of acute stroke patients who are on novel oral anticoagulants in community practice.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the optimal dose of rt-PA in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using a combination of minimally invasive surgery and clot lysis with rt-PA。
The current study was designed to investigate the change of plasma thrombospondin-1 levels and assess the prognostic predictive effect of plasma thrombospondin-1 levels in the patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
The most frequent complications in premature infants are neurological complications: intracranial hemorrhages and white matter lesions. In Epipage 2 study the incidence of severe intraventricular hemorrhages remains stable. Severe hemorrhages are associated with neurological sequelae. A recent study in humans and in animals shows the role of the complex formed by plasminogen activator (t-PA) and its inhibitor (PAI-1) in the induction of vascular fragility via stromelysin (MMP-3). FIBRINAT study in Rouen University Hospital showed a rate of complex t-PA-PAI1 probably very high in preterm infants. An other factor maturation PDGF-C induced by t-PA is associated with the vascular embrittlement. Among the few genetic factors associated with cerebral palsy include 2 SNP of PAI-1 gene and one SNP in the gene of endothelial NO synthase. The hypothesis is that a high rate of the complex t-PA-PAI-1 in cord blood could be a high risk of intracranial hemorrhage in preterm infants and provide predictive of their occurrence. The rates of MMP-3, PDGF-C and PAI-1 free in cord blood, and the polymorphism of PAI-1 gene and eNOS could separately or associated with the main criterion to identify predictive of hemorrhages. The main objective is to search a rate difference of the complex t-PA-PAI-1 in cord blood of preterm infants (before 30 weeks of gestation) that would predict intracranial hemorrhage coming in the first days of life. The secondary objectives are - Evaluate potential marker risk of high levels of MMP-3, PAI-1 free, and PDGF-CC - Search in both groups the presence of alleles -675G4 / G5 and 11053 (G / T) of the PAI-1 gene and -922 (A / G) of the eNOS gene. 120 preterm infants will be included before 30 weeks of gestation with precise inclusion and exclusion criteria during a period of 3 years. Patients will be divided into two groups according to whether they will or not showed intracranial hemorrhage (detected by ultrasound J5-J7). The complex rate tPA-PAI-1, PAI-1 free, MMP-3 and PDGF-C will be measured. The comparison between the two groups will be carried out using statistical tests. Comparison of the presence of the alleles -675 4G and 11053T the PAI-1 gene or -922G eNOS gene between the two groups will be performed. The demonstration of this hypothesis would permit to identify children from birth in whom the immediate implementation of preventive treatment of bleeding is desirable.
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization have recently published recommendations related to placental transfusions in preterm infants. This project will review outcomes of preterm infants following a quality improvement implementation process in several delivery centers in Indiana. Centers involved in this project are also part of the Indiana Vermont Oxford Network (IRB#1003-84). Data is recorded for that network and the investigators site will be reviewing that data every 3 months from infants who have completed the Vermont Oxford Network collection. This project will specifically look at the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing entercolitis, periventricular leukomalacia, sepsis and death following the implementation of the ACOG recommendations.
Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) - bleeding into the normal fluid spaces (ventricles) within the brain - is associated with a high risk of death or significant long-term disability. IVH leads to an increase pressure within the head and triggers inflammation and swelling in the surrounding brain. The ideal treatment for IVH would both rapidly relieve pressure and safely remove as much blood as possible to prevent any further injury to the brain. Currently, patients are managed by inserting a tube into the ventricle that drains fluid to the outside and helps reduce pressure, but does not address the blood clot itself, which naturally dissolves only over several days or weeks. Furthermore, these drains frequently block because of blood clots that for within them. If that occurs a repeat operation is required to replace them. Experimental treatments include infusing drugs to accelerate clot breakdown but this can nonetheless still take a number of days and the process introduces a risk of infection and fresh bleeding. Surgery to remove the blood clot is hazardous, technically challenging, and generally not very successful. Therefore, at the present time, none of the available options achieve all the stated goals of IVH treatment and there is an unmet need for better interventions. In this study the investigators propose to pilot a novel instrument that employs a high pressure but very localised microjet of water to mechanically disrupt blood clots and then sucks the debris away. This technique has been highly successful in reopening blocked arteries in the heart and, importantly, does so without damaging the underlying vessel lining. In the context of IVH, this should allow rapid removal of blood from the ventricles while causing minimal trauma to the brain. Clearing the blood early will prevent the build-up of pressure and inflammation, and improve the chances of patients making a good recovery.
A collection of biological samples (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] and blood) from patients under 6 years of age who are diagnosed with intraventricular hemorrhage or spina bifida.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether deferoxamine and xingnaojing injection is effective and safe as a treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage.
The purpose of this study is to 1. Early identify patients based on clinical manifestation, imaging, gene and histology, explore diagnostic tools 2. get gene repertoire of Chinese 3.
