Filter by:Some women develop swollen feet and ankles after a cesarean delivery. These women will often complain that their shoes are too tight and their feet may become numb or they may have some tingling in their feet. Currently we do not know for sure that foot swelling occurs after a cesarean delivery and if it does what the cause is. If we find that feet do swell after a cesarean delivery we may be able to suggest a cause. This may in the future prevent women developing excessive foot swelling. We aim to investigate whether the size and shape of women's ankles do change following an elective cesarean delivery. We plan to investigate, if possible, the cause of any foot swelling after a cesarean whether it be the volume of intra venous fluids or oxytocin use.
This was a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, sham injection-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab compared with sham injections in patients with macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO); 397 patients with BRVO were enrolled at 93 investigational sites in the United States. The study included a treatment period (6 months) and an observation period (6 months).
This was a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, sham injection-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab compared with sham injections in patients with macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO); 392 patients with CRVO were enrolled at 95 investigational sites in the United States. The study included a treatment period (6 months) and an observation period (6 months).
Efficacy duration of triamcinolone acetonide (steroid) for treatment of diabetic macular edema. Furthermore, dosage dependency of triamcinolone acetonide comparing a high dosage versus a low dosage.
This study is a Phase III, double-masked, multicenter, randomized, sham injection-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of ranibizumab injection in patients with clinically significant macular edema with center involvement (CSME-CI) secondary to diabetes mellitus (Type 1 or 2). This study is identical in design to study NCT00473330 (Protocol ID FVF4170g). The open-label extension phase of the study was stopped after receiving FDA approval of the study drug (ranibizumab) for diabetic macular edema.

Intravitreal triamcinolone has been effective for central macular thickness reduction and concomitant visual acuity improvement in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). VEGF is a very effective inducer of permeability, being 50.000 times more potent than histamine, and may exert its effect on retinal vascular permeability by altering tight-junctions proteins, such as occluding and VE-cadherin. Based on these principles, there is a rationale for anti-VEGF agents treatment of increased retinal capillary permeability conditions, such as diabetic macular edema. Therefore, we conducted a randomized, prospective study to compare the efficacy and safety of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and intravitreal bevacizumab injection for refractory diffuse DME.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the intravitreal implant of dexamethasone with laser treatment vs. laser treatment alone in patients with diabetic macular edema.
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is the most common cause of suboptimal post-operative visual acuity in uncomplicated cataract extractions. Over two million cataract extractions are performed each year, with a reported incidence ranging from 1.5 to 6.9%, resulting in an estimated 20,000-130,000 new cases of CME annually. Clinical CME historically was associated with visual acuity of 20/40 or worse with fluorescein angiographic evidence of macular edema in a classic petaloid pattern. Angiographic CME physiologically signals an inflammatory process causing distortion of the outer plexiform layer, which if not resolved quickly could result in non-repairable visual loss. Topical, periocular, or intravitreal corticosteroids, despite their associated side effects, are the mainstay for pharmacologic treatment for patients with CME. Their efficacy has never been demonstrated in a randomized, controlled and blinded study. This is an open-label, Phase II study of intravitreally administered ranibizumab in subjects with cystoid macular edema secondary to non-ischemic retinopathy, as seen following cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 7-day repeated oral administration of OPC-41061 15 mg or placebo in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients with extracellular volume expansion despite the use of a conventional diuretic.
