Filter by:The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of allogeneic human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) with injectable collagen scaffold transplanted into patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy.
This study will assess the feasibility of lower limb-ischemia induced Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) in the perioperative period before, during, and after Orthotopic Liver Transplantation (OLT). Remote ischemic conditioning will consist of 3 cycles of 5 minutes of lower limb ischemia induced via a mid-thigh pneumatic tourniquet, followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion. Interventions will take place after anesthesia induction but before surgery, at the completion of the procedure, and on the mornings of post-operative days 1-4.
PROMISE is a prospective, nationwide, multicenter, longitudinal cohort study, focusing on hospital intravenous thrombolysis process reengineering for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). With a proposed "Reengineered Process Framework" for intravenous thrombolysis process by the PROMISE study steering committee, about 30 medical centers enters would be recruited nationwide, and each center would include consecutive AIS patients with an onset-to-door time (ODT) of less than 3.5 h. The investigators hypothesize that the proposed "Reengineered Process Framework" is suitable and feasible for hospitals in mainland of China; the rate of intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients with an ODT of less than 3.5 h would be more than 20% or be increased by 40% as compared with baseline; the proportion of patients with a door-to-needle (DNT) time of less than 60 min would be more than 20%, or be with an increase by ≥ 40% as compared with baseline.
This study seeks to investigate the capillary index score (CIS) to further improve patient selection of endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The hypothesis or idea being tested: Patients with favorable CIS who are successfully revascularized with EVT can have successful outcomes with an extended time window for treatment.
The new P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel (Efient®-Effient®) and ticagrelor (Brilique®-Brilinta®) have shown promising results in the respective TRITON and PLATO trials making of prasugrel and ticagrelor recommended first line treatments for acute coronary syndrome ACS (ESC Guidelines: Class 1 LOE B). These two drugs showed superiority over clopidogrel in ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), by the dramatic diminution of stent thrombosis, the reduction in death or Myocardial Infarction (MI) as well as the reduction in death in a meta-analysis. The field of elective PCI (stable patients) has not been studied with these 2 new drugs and clopidogrel remains the standard of care. However, off-label use of prasugrel and ticagrelor is increasing in patients undergoing high risk elective PCI (left main, diabetics, multiple stenting, high risk of stent thrombosis, no clopidogrel pretreatment…) but is not supported by scientific evidence. More than half of PCI patients undergo elective stenting for proven ischemia and/or stable angina, a relatively safe procedure with the use of the latest generation of stents. However complications remain either frequent when considering PCI-related myonecrosis/myocardial injury that have been linked to the prognosis of patients or rare but serious when considering stent thrombosis, Q wave MI or stroke, leaving room for improvement with these two newest drugs. The investigators propose to perform a multicenter international study in stable patients undergoing elective PCI with a randomization between clopidogrel and ticagrelor. The investigators hypothesize that this study will show superiority of the new P2Y12 inhibitor over clopidogrel in elective PCI on the primary ischemic endpoint (peri-procedural MI and myocardial injury) without significant excess bleeding (BARC definition).
This study will test the safety and efficacy of an infusion of a baby's own (autologous) umbilical cord blood as compared with placebo in babies born with history and signs of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the clinical relevance of monitoring patients with acute ischemic stroke with 48 hours' inpatient cardiac telemetry in relation to evaluate the presence of brief runs of premature atrial complexes and new diagnosed atrial fibrillation. Furthermore to evaluate the prognostic significance of brief runs of premature atrial complexes in relation to develop atrial fibrillation, recurrent stroke/transient ischemic attack and death.
A Single-center prospective pilot study enrolling chest pain patients. CD 26 measurement will be performed and compared to troponin µs for early triage of these patients. This novel biomarker of myocardial ischemia (CD26) will be measured at the time of first medical contact (T0) and after 30 min simultaneously o troponin Ic. All patients aged over 18 years with chest pain which may be related to acute coronary syndrome requiring pre hospital medical contact through the Emergency Medical Service.
Determination of frequency of Clopidigrel- and Acetacylicacid-non-responders (HOTPR) in acute ischemic stroke patients.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the normal brain function of premature infants (23 to 31+6 weeks GA) during birth transition and through the first 72 hours of life.
