Filter by:Ineffective hemostasis or a paradoxical prothrombotic state of Acute-on-chronic liver disease (ACLF) has been well established. However, the minor and major bleeding events has not been described yet. We observe the patients' major and minor bleeding events and use 4 criteria, which include BARC, ISTH, TIMI, Gusto ,to evaluate the incident rate of bleeding events in ACLF patients and pre-ACLF patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of exercise on sarcopenia and frailty. The exercise that will be performed in this study will include either pulmonary rehabilitation or a formal home based video strengthening program
This will be a prospective cohort study of patients with liver disease. Subjects will undergo geriatric assessments of frailty, functional status, and disability using functional status measures at baseline and at every clinic visit in the pre-transplant setting. Subjects will also answer questions regarding quality of life, personality, and/or cognitive function. Subjects will again undergo assessments at every clinic visit through 12 months after transplant. Then, they will be followed annually.
This is a single center study for the donation of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-positive livers to HCV negative recipient patients, with preemptive, interventional treatment to prevent HCV transmission upon transplantation.
End-Stage Liver Disease (ESLD) is one of the ten leading causes of death in US. It is marked by episodic acute exacerbations of the underlying liver disease which often leads to severe symptoms, poor quality of life, mental deterioration and repeated hospitalizations. The overall purpose of this project is to introduce a telehealth based intervention (involving remote monitoring of symptoms and cognitive function initiated at the time of discharge of ESLD patients. This will support enhanced clinical care and improve self-management in ESLD population. In addition, it will reduce healthcare utilization, improve medication adherence and overall health outcomes
Rationale: To identify the prevalence of Acute-on-chronic liver failure in Zagazig University Hospitals. The question of the research: How much the prevalence of Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure in Zagazig University Hospitals? The aim of the work: The aim of the study is to identify the presence of Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure in Zagazig University Hospitals Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure in Zagazig University Hospitals. Subjects and Methods: I . Technical Design: - Site of the study: Gastroenterology and Hepatology Unit- Zagazig University Hospitals - Sample size: ''all patients admitted to Gastroenterology and Hepatology Unit with the criteria of ACLF according to EASL-AASLD from June 2017 to December 2017 were included in this study''. II . OPERATIONAL DESIGN: - Type of the study: a prospective study. - Full medical history - taking. - Full clinical examination. - Laboratory investigations including Routine laboratory investigation " CBC, Liver functions test, kidney functions test and prothrombin time " III. Administrative Design: - Approvals obtained for performing the study from the official or governmental department. - An ethical committee from the faculty of medicine and patients included in the study. Results: Collected data will be presented in tables and suitable graphs and analyzed according to standard statistical methods
Study design-Open label randomized controlled trial Study period-2 years Study population-All patients of ACLF admitted to ILBS for a period of two years from Feb 2017 to Dec 2018 All the patients of ACLF will receive standard medical therapy and will be randomized within 48 hours of admission into three groups after screening for exclusion and inclusion criteria.(1:2:2) Group A-Standard Medical Therapy only Group B-Standard Medical therapy + Plasma exchange + GCSF Group C-Standard Medical Therapy + GCSF
This proposal translates a hypothesis driven basic research into clinical setting to determine the potential of using autologous CD133+ cells to reverse fibrosis and improve clinical outcome for patients with end stage cirrhosis. This has significant impact on the management of cirrhosis.
This trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) as an organ preservation method prior to transplantation using the OrganOx metra™ device.
The First-In-Man study is a multi-centre, randomised, controlled, study to generate data for the evaluation of safety and performance of DIALIVE Liver Dialysis Device in 24 evaluable patients with Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) versus standard of care (SOC).
