Postoperative surveillance of local metabolism of the surgical reconstruction after esophagectomy by means of Microdialysis. Dialysate is collected continuously for seven postoperative Days. Results analysed in a blinded fashion and related to the clinical outcome. Primary endpoint: anastomotic leakage
Eighty patients were randomly assigned to either control (CON) or dexmedetomidine (DEX) group. DEX group received a loading dose of 0.5 µg/ kg of intravenous dexmedetomidine over 10 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.5 µg/kg/h until completion of the surgery. CON group received the same calculated volume of normal saline. Pain outcomes, metabolic and coagulative changes after tourniquet application, and after tourniquet release were investigated.
The purpose of this study is to try to find the best dose of the new drug BAY 2433334 to give to participants and to look at how well BAY 2433334 works on top of antiplatelet therapy in patients following a recent non cardioembolic ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot that has not formed in the heart travelled to the brain. BAY 2433334, works by blocking a step of the blood clotting process in our body and thins the blood and is a so called oral FXIa inhibitor.
Down syndrome is the most common genetic disorder in the society that causes mental retardation. Today, screening tests (combined test, triple screening, ultrasonography and age) are performed for the diagnosis of down syndrome for all pregnant women. As a result of screening tests, amniocentesis is performed as a diagnostic test for the group at risk. Chromosome analysis from amniotic fluid requires a 3-week period for chromosome cultures to yield results. Several levels of biochemical markers, such as organic acids and pyridoxine metabolites, have been found to be elevated in the amniotic fluid. The investigators also plan to investigate ischemia-modified albumin, hepatocyte growth factor level in amniotic fluid.
Adult onset epileptic seizures is rare and often associated with metabolic disorders, drugs and intracranial pathologies such as ischemia, hemorrhage or space-occupying lesions. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency is one of the reasons that cause epileptic seizures in adults and can be ignored. MTHFR deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in hyperhomocysteinemia and causes a predisposition to venous and arterial thrombosis. The incidence of the polymorphism is around 40% in some countries. The aim of the retrospective study is to investigate the incidence of MTHFR deficiency in patients with adult-onset epileptic seizures.
This study evaluates the pain score numerical rating, after sciatic analgesic continuous block, in patients with ischemic pain before surgery of limb revascularization. All patients received those blocks to control ischemic severe pain.
Background. Cardiopulmonary bypass in on-pump cardiac surgery (OPCS) can have harmful effects by ischemia-reperfusion. No data about the effects of remote ischemic postconditioning (RIP) in hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) plasma level after OPCS. The aim of this study is evaluate the effects of RIP on postoperative HIF-1α plasma levels, cardiac markers and arterial oxygenation of patients after OPCS. Methods. Randomised controlled study in 70 patients undergoing OPCS: 35 patients receive RIP (RIP group) and 35 patients not (control group). Patients receive RIP on upper limb: 5 min of ischemia followed by 5 min of reperfusion (3 cycles) immediately after leaving on-pump. The primary outcome was to know the HIF-1α plasma levels after surgery in both groups: before starting surgery (T0) and after CPB period at 2 h (T1), 8 h (T2), 24 h (T3), 36 h (T4), 48 h (T5). Secondary outcomes included to measure the cardiac markers levels (Troponin T, CK-MB, CPK), arterial oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2) and others.
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is associated with severe pain that is a therapeutic challenge whit therapeutic limits for the use of conventional analgesics medications. ultrasound-guided continuous sciatic block (CCBN) is strategy effective and safe to consider in this patients. This prospective descriptive exploratory cohort study evaluates CCBN as a effective therapeutic tools for patients whit (CLI)
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has the characteristics of high morbidity, high mortality, high disability rate and high recurrence rate. Progressive cerebral infarction (PIS) is a subtype of AIS, accounting for 10% - 40%. Because of the gradual aggravation of neurological deficit symptoms, it has a higher rate of disability and death, which brings heavy mental and economic burden to families, society and the country. The progress of acute cerebral infarction is generally within 6 hours to 1 week after the onset of the disease. At present, it is considered that thrombus prolongation is one of the important pathogenesis of PIS. Heparin can reduce the incidence of post-stroke embolism, but its benefits are offset by the risk of hemorrhage due to the high risk of hemorrhage. The 2013AHA guidelines in the United States do not recommend it as a routine anticoagulant therapy. Therefore, reducing the risk of bleeding is the key to the anticoagulation therapy of PIS. Argatroban is a new thrombin inhibitor. Its mechanism of action is to bind and inactivate thrombin (factor Ⅱ a) directly.Compared with traditional anticoagulants, argatroban not only has the advantages of good anticoagulant effect and rapid onset, but also has high safety. Therefore, this study aims to verify the clinical efficacy of Argatroban in the treatment of PIS in a large population. In this study, 628 patients are expected to be enrolled into the study group. The experimental group and the control group are selected by dynamic random method. Both groups are given standard medical treatment, including routine antiplatelet, blood pressure control, statins to stabilize plaque, etc. The control group is only given standard medical treatment. In the experimental group, Argatroban is used on the basis of standard medical treatment. Both groups are treated for 7 days, and the second-class prevention standard medical treatment is given from the 8th to the 90th day. The main outcome measure is the good prognosis rate at the third month after PIS. The good prognosis was defined as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤ 3.
