Filter by:The primary objective is to evaluate neonatal characteristics, and biological and clinical investigations as predictive factors of death, or of severe and moderate neurodevelopmental disability at 3 years, in a large population-based cohort of full-term and late preterm neonates with moderate or severe HIE. Contrary to most previous studies which have often analyzed the accuracy of one factor among all other clinical investigations, the investigators objective's is to seek a relevant combination of several factors among the following list: - Neonatal characteristics: gestational age and birthweight, maternal disease, acute intrapartum event, delivery mode, acidosis, neurological examination, place of birth and neonatal transfer - Laboratory investigations: pH, lactates and new biological markers as detailed below - Clinical investigations: aEEG, EEG, MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI
To evaluate and improve the safety and efficacy of hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy to percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end stage renal diseases, increasing life expectancy and quality of life. Improvement in organ preservation is a critical issue in this context. This is a safety study evaluating the use of an oxygen carrier HEMO2Life® as an additive in organ preservation solution in kidney transplantation.
Acute myocardial infarction complicated with cardiogenic shock trigger IL-6, the strong inflammatory response, result in multiple organ failure, even death. While therapeutic hypothermia,to expect the possibility of anti-inflammatory effect via IL-6 bi-phasic effect and IL-10 , to improve the multiple organ failure, to increase survival rate and well cerebral performance.
Aim of the study is to determine whether endovascular systemic cooling to a target temperature of 34-35°C initiated before, and maintained during Carotid EndoArterectomy (CEA), is feasible and safe
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) occurs in 20 per 1000 births. Only 47% of neonates treated with the state of the art therapy (induced systemic hypothermia) have normal outcomes. Therefore, other promising therapies that potentially work in synergy with hypothermia to improve neurologic outcomes need to be tested. One potential agent is melatonin. Melatonin is a naturally occurring substance produced mainly from the pineal gland. Melatonin is widely known for its role in regulating the circadian rhythm, but it has many other effects that may benefit infants with HI injury. Melatonin serves as a free radical scavenger, decreases inflammatory cytokines, and stimulates anti-oxidant enzymes. Therefore, melatonin may interrupt several key components in the pathophysiology of HIE, in turn minimizing cell death and improving outcomes. The research study will evaluate the neuroprotective properties and appropriate dose of Melatonin to give to infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
This is a multi-centers prospective, randomized, controlled trial. This trial will investigate the clinical outcome of kidney transplant recipients whose kidneys are under two different forms of organ preservation--hypothermic machine perfusion vs. static cold storage. Factors during the machine perfusion, such as the pressure, flow rate, and resistance index will also be investigated.
Mild Therapeutic Hypothermia for Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Cardiac Arrest Treated with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (UNICORN) study is designed to determine whether mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) applied in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and cardiac arrest treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with better clinical outcomes as compared with therapy without MTH.
This study examines the effect of cord blood in the treatment of newborn infants with neonatal encephalopathy in combination with hypothermia,which is the standard treatment for this condition. The hypothesis is that the cord blood + hypothermia combination will produce better neuroprotection than the standard treatment of hypothermia alone.
The aim of this study is to assess if the conditioning of the insufflation carbon dioxide (CO2) allows for an additional benefit in terms of prevention of the heat loss, when compared with the usual prevention with a forced warm air blanket alone, in the setting of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
