Filter by:The AquaPass is a non-invasive, renal-intended system designed to enhance fluid transfer through the skin, by increasing sweat rate, to treat fluid overload in heart failure patients. This study will further evaluate the safety, efficacy, and usability of the AquaPass system in the hospital and home settings.
The purpose of this research study is to observe the patient's clinical care and how EYLEA® HD is used as a treatment in real-world settings. Patients are asked to join the study because they have either neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD/wet age-related macular degeneration [AMD]) or diabetic macular edema (DME). Patients cannot have used EYLEA® HD in the past and the doctor must be planning to treat nAMD or DME with a new prescription of EYLEA® HD (aflibercept 8 mg).
Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can affect swimmers of all abilities. The pathophysiology is not well understood and early identification strategies are not established. Handheld ultrasound is a validated tool for the identification of pulmonary edema and is not well-studied in this population. Understanding the incidence of signs of pulmonary edema and its usefulness as a sign of early pulmonary edema would be beneficial This study evaluates triathletes and open water swimmers at endurance events. A validated protocol for lung ultrasound is used to identify the signs of pulmonary edema. The findings will be analyzed for differences in experience level, type of athlete, gender, age, and environmental factors. The findings may then be used in the future to aid in the early identification and treatment of athletes and military personnel in similar situations to decrease morbidity and mortality.
This study aim is to examine the effect of percussion massage therapy applied to lower extremity on pain, edema, fatigue and quality of life in pregnant women.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate different imaging parameters in patients with previously treatment-naive DME and ME due to RVO before and after treatment with dexamethasone implant, in order to find specific retinal inflammatory and microvascular biomarkers that may be predictive of treatment outcome.
1. assessment the outcomes of vitrectomy on retinal function by mf-ERG (multifocal electroretinogram) and anatomy by OCT (optical coherence tomography) in patients with tractional diabetic macular edema (TDME) . 2. To correlate the postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) with the mf-ERG and OCT findings following vitrectomy surgery for TDME.
Macular edema in diabetes, defined as retinal thickening within two disc diameters of the center of the macula, results from retinal microvascular changes that compromise the blood-retinal barrier, causing leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina and consequently retinal edema. Thickening of the basement membrane and reduction in the number of pericytes are believed to lead to increased permeability and incompetence of the retinal vasculature. This compromise of the blood-retinal barrier leads to the leakage of plasma constituents into the surrounding retina with subsequent retinal edema. Hypoxia produced by this mechanism can also stimulate the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases retinal vascular permeability, causes breakdown of the blood-retina barrier and results in retinal edema. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of visual reduction in patients with Diabetes Mellitus. The prevalence of DME globally is around 6.8 %. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness worldwide. DME is a complication of diabetic retinopathy that affects the macula, which is located at the center of the retina and responsible for central vision. Bangladesh is the 10th country in the world for the number of adults living with diabetes with some 7.1 million (5.3-12.0). In Bangladesh, it is therefore expected that diabetic secondary complications, like DR, will increase along with the rising trend of diabetes mellitus. The use of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized in the treatment of many diseases. In recent years, millions of patients have been successfully treated with these biological agents. Ranibizumab is one such therapeutic monoclonal antibody for intraocular use. Ranibizumab is a humanized, recombinant, immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody fragment against vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and thus prevents choroidal neovascularization. The small size of ranibizumab allows for enhanced diffusion into the retina and choroid.
The goal of this prospective multicenter open label study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection Conbercept (IVC) for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) combined with severe nonproliferative diabetes retinopathy (sNPDR). The main questions it aims to answer are: - mean changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) in comparison with baseline at 12 months after initial treatment - proportion of eyes with visual gain ≥15 letters in Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart and ≥2-step improvement in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) score after 12 months of the treatment - proportion of eyes actually underwent PRP treatment after 3 and 12 months of the treatment - mean changes in BCVA and CMT from baseline to monthly follow-up time point - complications and adverse effects
The aim of this clinical study conducted in accordance with the information in the literature is to compare the effects of administering tranexamic acid during orthognathic surgery, at different doses. Specifically, investigators aim to compare the effects of administering 1 ampoule IV (approximately 3 mg/kg) and 2 ampoules IV (approximately 6 mg/kg), and evaluate their impact on intraoperative bleeding (ml), surgical duration (min), postoperative swelling, and intraoperative surgical field evaluation (Fromme Scale), by comparing them with control group (applying no drug administration) patient data.
This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of SKG0106 intravitreal injection in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients.
