Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if ibuprofen use after electrocautery tonsillectomy increases the post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage rate. Hypothesis: Use of ibuprofen does not increase the post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage rate. Primary outcome: Rate of tonsillar hemorrhage following adult tonsillectomy in those receiving narcotic pain medications plus ibuprofen compared to those receiving narcotics alone. Secondary outcome: Determine whether ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), decreases post tonsillectomy pain, narcotic pain medication use, or cost of pain management.
This study is a single center prospective randomized control trial comparing the utility of performing capsule endoscopy compared to conservative management with oral iron therapy as the initial course of action in patients with non-severe obscure occult or obscure overt gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The investigators hypothesize that outcomes in patients with non-severe obscure GI bleeding who receive conservative therapy with oral iron will not differ to those on oral iron who undergo capsule endoscopy.
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.
This study will recruit patients who have recently had a submacular haemorrhage (bleed under the part of the retina responsible for detailed vision), as a complication of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). Wet AMD is a very common disease where abnormal blood vessels form under the retina and leak, causing a significant reduction in vision. The study will investigate treatment of the bleed with various combinations of the two drugs: tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) - designed to dissolve the blood clot; and perfluoropropane (C3F8) - designed to shift the blood clot away from the central part of the retina (the macula). tPA is a commonly used 'clot-buster' drug for the treatment of stroke. C3F8 is a gas commonly used in eye surgery. Patients recruited will be divided into four groups: control group that receive none of the above drugs; one group that receives only tPA; one group that receives only C3F8; and one group that receives both. All patients will receive the current gold standard treatment for wet AMD, ranibizumab (Lucentis®). The aim of the study is to improve vision in a condition, which left untreated, would cause severe visual loss.
To determine if a manual blood loss can be detected using the non-invasive blood monitor.
The objective of this study is to determine whether a goal-directed therapy can reduce the incidence of delayed cerebral ischaemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
A phase III, randomized, case-controlled, open-label, 500-subject clinical trial of minimally invasive surgery plus rt-PA in the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
Primary Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of intravitreal applications of 0.5 mg Lucentis (ranibizumab) in patients with vitreous hemorrhage due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The primary endpoint for the study will be the mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to the mean level at Month 3. Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess any differences in mean change in BCVA over time; 2. To assess differences in vitreous transparency (amount of hemorrhage) with fundus angiography exam; 3. To assess any differences in retinopathy severity level according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study; 4. To correlate the visual outcomes with serum glucose levels.
To test whether intravenous albumin can decrease the rebleeding rate or shorten the duration of hospitalization in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding and hypoalbuminemia.
The investigators investigated the rebleeding rate the risk factors for rebleeding after long-term follow-up (≥12 months) in patients who underwent capsule endoscopy for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
