Filter by:The ultimate goal of this multicenter, phase II study is to increase blood pressure until either a neurologic response is seen or a target mean arterial pressure of 30% above baseline is achieved. IV fluids, IV phenylephrine and/or IV norepinephrine are used to rapidly raise mean arterial pressure in a controlled manner as serial assessments of neurologic function are performed.
The purpose of this study is to determine if stem cell therapy with one's own cells (autologous cells) delivered intramuscularly to one's leg with ulcer and/or gangrene due to poor blood flow will be safe and if it will relieve leg pain, increase blood flow, and/or cure the leg wound.
Using patients receiving spinal anesthesia as a model to evaluate the treshold value of cerebral oximeter to detect the symptoms of cerebral ischemia
The primary purpose is to study the safety and effectiveness of the Concentric Retriever Device(CRD)in ischemic stroke patients who undergo clot retrieval with the CRD within 8 hours of stroke symptom onset. The CRD has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to retrieve foreign bodies (such as pieces of metal) from blood vessels in the body. The CRD is a small metal wire with a loop at the end (like a corkscrew) that removes clots from arteries and thereby restores blood flow to the brain. Prior versions of the CRD may have been too soft to pull out clots, just as a corkscrew that is too soft would not pull out corks. The current version of the CRD is not as soft and may be more effective in retrieving clots. Hypothesis: By restoring blood flow to the brain, stroke symptoms may get better or the stroke may be prevented from getting worse.
This study will examine if DP-b99 can improve neurological function (for example strength and coordination) in the 3 months after an acute stroke
The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that AMG0001 treatment is safe and induces angiogenesis as detected by improved wound healing, reduction in amputation, improved pain at rest and hemodynamic measurement and to assess the effectiveness of the administrative method.
Some women have chest pain even without having a blockage in one of the major blood vessels that supplies blood to the heart. In many of these women the microscopic (small) blood vessels in the heart do not function normally. This study seeks to determine if treatment with eplerenone, a commercially available diuretic, can improve the function of these microscopic blood vessels and, possibly, improve the chest pain.
Ischaemic preconditioning (IP) describes the phenomenon that brief periods of ischaemia render the (myocardial) muscle more resistant to a subsequent more prolonged period of ischaemia and reperfusion. Animal studies have provided evidence that adenosine receptor stimulation is an important mediator of IP. As caffeine is an effective adenosine receptor antagonist already at concentrations reached after regular coffee consumption, we aimed to assess whether caffeine impairs IP in humans in vivo. We used a novel and well-validated model to study IP in humans: 99m-Tc-annexin A5 scintigraphy in forearm skeletal muscle. 24 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to either caffeine (4 mg/kg/iv in 10 minutes) or saline before a protocol for IP.
The lack of blood flow to the small intestine causes mesenteric ischemia. Using a Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) which measures the magnetic field of the small intestine, we are hoping to identify abnormalities without surgical intervention.
The purpose of this study is to look at the electrical activity present in healthy and diseased smooth muscle of the intestines; and develop both mathematical and computer models.
