Filter by:Fall with head injury is becoming an epidemic challenge especially with the ageing population. Contributing factors for mortality and poor functional outcome included development of cerebral contusion and delayed traumatic intracerebral haematoma. There is a higher prevalence especially with the increasing use of antiplatelets and anticoagulants. Non-invasive monitoring such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is sensitive in detecting intracranial changes. The role and efficacy of this non-invasive method has not been specifically established in patients with head injury as an initial non-operative monitoring. This is particular important in the setting of a general ward in which nursing staff is limited. The advantages of these noninvasive monitoring might have a role of continuous neuro-monitoring. They can also potentially reduce the number of unnecessary repeated CT Brain in the context of limited radiology staff and resources. Timely detection and treatment of this condition accordingly is crucial. Potential options of non-invasive monitoring such as nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is to be investigated. The aim of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of NIRS as a non-invasive monitoring in detecting delayed intracranial injuries in comparison with the Gold Standard CT Brain. Study design is Prospective sensitivity and specificity study of Near Infra-red Spectroscopy (NIRS) as a non-invasive monitoring in detecting delayed intracranial injuries in comparison with the Gold Standard CT Brain in Hong Kong Chinese. Consecutive patients admitted to Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong would be recruited. Outcome measures including correlation of non-invasive monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to CT Brain findings including any increase in haematoma size, cerebral edema or mass effect. Secondary outcome including 30 days mortality and functional outcome at 3 months.
Cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin Cattle encephalon glycoside and ignotin (CEGI) injection (drug approval H22025046; Jilin Sihuan Pharmaceutical Co. LTD., Jilin, People's Republic of China) is a compound preparation of muscle extract from healthy rabbits and cattle brain gangliosides, which was approved by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration in 2011 and was commonly used as neuroprotectant in the treatment of central and peripheral nerve injuries in China. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEGI in treatment of Hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, we designed this study.
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.
The purpose of this research is to use the "Removing Blood Stasis Decotion" of traditional Chinese medicine treating the acute stage of cerebral hemorrhage with stroke associated pneumonia to explore the impact of "Removing Blood Stasis Therapy" on intestinal microbial flora either within the time window from 6 to 72 hours onset.
This study evaluates the validity of an intravascular continuous glucose monitoring microdialysis probe, and compares the values to routinely inserted cerebral glucose microdialysis to evaluate the hypothesised relationship between intracranial and intravascular glucose levels.
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.
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. Build a cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) prospective cohorts, observing the disease history, and exploring prognostic factors of hemorrhage in CAA patients
There were lack of data and analysis about medical management, etiology, and long-term outcome of Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) in Beijing. In this study the investigators do acute CT angiography, a non-invasive imaging method to explore etiology and prognostic risk factors of ICH. Further the investigators will aim to develop and validate a risk score for predicting 1-year functional outcome after ICH.
Evaluation of blood pressure variability in the acute phase of intraparenchimal cerebral haemorrhage and its consequences to clinical outcome
The purpose of this study is to show if it is possible to detect secondary ischemic events in patients with severe brain injury or cerebral haemorrhage with the help of non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) by using the indocyanine green measuring of cerebral perfusion.
