Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether inhaled nitric oxide improves the neurological outcome for premature infants.
This study performs assessments of pituitary functions by basal hormone levels in the acute phase after TBI and/or SAH followed by detailed endocrine tests (insulin-induced hypoglycemia or growth hormone releasing hormone-arginine-corticotropin releasing hormone-leuteinizing hormone releasing hormone [GHRH-arginine-CRH-LHRH] test) after 4 and 12 months.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of the no-tie technique using the harmonic scalpel (HS) in terms of the operating time and complications in total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND). Recently, the HS has been used as an alternative to conventional hand-tied ligation for hemostasis in thyroid surgery, which is a time-consuming procedure. Very limited data have been published on evidence of its safety in total thyroidectomy accompanied by CND without supplementary hand-tied ligation.
Strict glycemic control improves mortality and morbidity of patients admitted to the postoperative intensive care unit (ICU). The investigators would like to know if this therapy could improve the long term neurologic and cognitive outcomes of patients treated for acute subarachnoid hemorrhage with either a surgical or intravascular approach.
The purpose of our study is to verify wherever normothermia (achieved with diclofenac administration) may improve intracranial pressure control and may limit secondary cerebral damage thus positively influencing outcome in patients with acute cerebral damage admitted to ICU.
The purpose of this research is to explore ways to improve and simplify control of blood pressure in patients with SAH or ICH. This research will be done by comparing tow different medications that are routinely used to help control blood pressure. None of the medications used in this study nor any procedures performed are experimental.
This trial will address the question of whether early application of the Non-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) at the Satellite Health Facility (SHF) level before transport to a Referral Hospital (RH) will decrease maternal mortality and morbidity. The available evidence indicates that the NASG substantially decreases blood loss, but there is no evidence that its application will reduce extreme adverse outcomes. It is also not known if possible side effects associated with NASG use might outweigh potential benefits. This study would rigorously test the effectiveness of the NASG using an experimental design with adequate power to detect statistically significant decreases in morbidity and mortality.
The purpose of this study is to test whether treatment with a drug called Simvastatin prevents and improves outcome in patients who have Subarachnoid bleeding. Simvastatin is currently approved for the treatment of high cholesterol levels.
There are no established guidelines regarding interruption of warfarin anticoagulant therapy prior to surgical implantation of cardiac pacemakers. Continuing the anticoagulant could potentially result in increased bleeding complications from the implantation surgery, whereas discontinuing the anticoagulant could predispose the patient to blood clots and strokes. In this study we intend to randomly assign warfarin-treated patients either into interrupted or continued warfarin therapy prior to pacemaker implantation with the purpose of establishing the rate of complication in these groups. Our hypothesis is that a cardiac pacing device can be safely implanted without discontinuation of the anticoagulant therapy.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the best way to manage breakthrough spotting and bleeding during an extended use regimen of NuvaRing®. Ease of use and acceptability of a flexible regimen of NuvaRing® will also be evaluated. A comparison of cyclic mood symptoms, pelvic pain, and headaches will be made between a standard 21/7 regimen and an extended regimen.
