Filter by:To examine the dynamics of 24 - hours ECG monitoring parameters (Holter monitoring) in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) before and after treatment of voiding dysfunctions resulted from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with the indications for either conservative or operative treatment. A total of eighty-three 57-to-81-year-old (mean age 70.4±5.75 years) patients with BPH and accompanying IHD were examined at the Institute of Urology and Human Reproductive Health and Clinic of Cardiology of the Sechenov University.
Correction of the deficit in the perfusion pressure of the microcirculation that supplies the nerve by intravenous infusion of Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (Alprostadil), expected to improve visual function in patients with ischemic optic neuropathy previous non-arteritic (NOIANA).
Hepatectomies are considered as operations of high bleeding risk. The history of massive hemorrhage in liver surgery led to the emergence of techniques to control excessive blood loss. These techniques temporarily occlude the blood vessels that supply liver (the Pringle Maneuver) limiting subsequent losses. However, this leads to the ischemia - reperfusion injury impairing liver function. Research points to methods targeting on tempering reperfusion pathophysiology. Volatile anesthetics have been used for pharmacological preconditioning and proved to protect against organ damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential beneficial effect of desflurane on ischemia-reperfusion injury of the liver. Patients presenting for elective hepatectomy were randomized equally into two groups. The Control Group received no pharmacological preconditioning and the Desflurane Group received pharmacological preconditioning with Desflurane before induction of ischemia.
The femoro-popliteal arterial segment is one of the most frequent locations for atherosclerosis. Its management is mainly endovascular (standard and coated-balloon angioplasty, stenting). However, the structural features of the atherosclerotic disease in regards to patient's risk factors and past medical and surgical histories are not well studied. Furthermore, the histological analysis of the femoro-popliteal arterial segment is rare in the literature, and made difficult mostly because of the length of this segment. There is a clinical need for better understanding of atherosclerotic lesions in this location, with as further goal, a better management of this disease.
The study is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter clinical trial.The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours after the use of Eptifibatide injection. Patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravascular thrombolytic therapy, mechanical thrombolysis, angioplasty and so on were treated with Eptifibatide injection on the first day, followed by the second day, the third day, the discharge day and the 90 days.
The purpose of this study is to investigate responses of pain and the maintenance of mechanical muscle hypersensitivity following an acute exercise-induced ischemic condition repeated over time in a prolonged NGF-sensitized muscle. Additionally, the influence of the pain modulating system on prolonged NGF muscle hypersensitivity caused by peripheral mechanisms and central mechanisms will also be investigated.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects more than 200 million people worldwide. This disease occurs with narrowing and occlusion of arteries supplying oxygenated blood to the organs and limbs. Symptomatic patients typically experience leg pain with physical activity. More advanced disease states are referred to as critical limb ischemia (CLI), where patients may have leg pain at rest or non-healing wounds. Primary treatment of PAD involves risk factor management; smoking cessation, management of blood pressure, blood cholesterol, diabetes, and exercise prescription. Patients with CLI typically require interventions to reestablish blood supply to their limbs. There is currently minimal understanding of the role for exercise rehabilitation after revascularization procedures in this vulnerable population. This is the first clinical to understand the role of exercise for these patients. We hypothesize that exercise rehabilitation after revascularization will improve quality of life and functional capacity in these patients.
Chronic ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus type II have one of the highest morbidity and mortality rates. Especially in the presence of both diseases, these risks increase exponentially. The aim of this program is to reduce cardiovascular risk factors by promoting individual health literacy and a healthy lifestyle, thereby improving metabolism and reducing the progress of the disease as well as mortality. Patients will receive individual exercise prescriptions and nutritional recommendations. This lifestyle intervention is accompanied by step counters, heart rate sensors, blood glucose meters and smartphones to allow regional implementation in different areas in Germany. In total, 1500 patients with diabetes mellitus type II and chronic ischemic heart disease will participate in the trial. The project examines whether the intervention positively affects metabolic health and lifestyle behaviors, increases health literacy, and reduces cardiovascular events of these high risk patients. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the intervention will be compared between urban and rural areas.
A longitudinal study evaluating the predictive ability of near infrared spectroscopy to predict brain injury in infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Data will be analyzed at two different time periods, at discharge and again at 2 years of age.
A single site, study of the SENSE device in up to 20 study subjects, (five healthy controls and five each with ICH, AIS with LVO and AIS without LVO) in whom SENSE can be applied within 24 hours of stroke symptom onset.
