There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether increasing cardiac output by a combination of intravenous fluids and inotropic drugs can reduce mortality and morbidity in radical cystectomy operations.
Patients with COPD who deteriorate to Respiratory Failure pose a challenge to the intensivist both in ventilating an obstructed patient and in weaning from mechanical ventilation. Currently there are no accepted extubation criteria in COPD patients that could predict successful weaning from mechanical ventilation. In this study we will attempt to correlate spirometric data to eventual weaning from mechanical ventilation.
The investigators will investigate patients undergoing coronary angiography with normal coronary but slow blood flow that was normalized after adenosine injection into the coronary artery. The investigators believe that they have small vessel coronary disease which is the initial presentation of coronary disease prior to anatomical narrowing. To alleviate this phenomenon the investigators intend to examine the long-term clinical response of these patients to treatment with dipyridamole, a well-known medication with almost no side-effects that increases the level of adenosine in the tissue.
The investigators have added an additional electrode to the vacuum device for birth in which they can monitor the fetus during delivery.
The aim of this study is to develop an algorithm to automatically detect falls and near falls, in the elderly and in Parkinson's Disease patients. Subjects will arrive at the investigators' gait laboratory for assessment. A sub-group of the subjects, will receive a monitoring device, to be worn at home for three days.
The objective of the present study is to describe the current practice of postoperative fluid management in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.
The study will investigate catecholamines responses, and cognitive effects of exercise in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and the effect of exercise training on these measures.
The determination of the 2D6 genotype will enable us to determine the way flecainide is metabolized by the liver. Some individuals are poor metabolizers and some individuals are extensive metabolizers of the drug. This will also determine which patients will benefit from the drug.
Pediatric patients, during their illness often treated with furosemide (Lasix) continuous drip, often, with dosages above 4-6mg/kg/day (the recommended dose). This study will monitor hearing status of these children prior to their therapy with furosemide, during this therapy and after.
The achievement of high local concentration of Eptifibatide, a GP 2b3a inhibitor,via direct intracoronary injection, promotes (in vitro) clot disaggregation. It remains unclear if it is of superior benefit than the routine intravenous administration of these agents. In patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction, and undergoing primary coronary intervention, intracoronary administration of Eptifibatide may increase local drug concentration by several orders of magnitude and promote clot disaggregation with a minimal increase in systemic drug concentration, and in that way enhancing myocardial perfusion and survival.
