Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of different treatment modalities on clinical outcome of patients suffering from acute lower limb ischemia (ALI). Depending on clinical presentation, anatomical as well as technical considerations, different treatment options are available for revascularisation of affected limbs. Using an observational, international, multicentric study design (min. patient number of 500), the defined primary endpoint of the study, amputation-free survival 90 days after the diagnosis of ALI, will be evaluated.
Dapsone is a drug that has been used clinically for several decades due to its anti-infective effect, making it widely available. Its neuroprotective effects have been found through its glutamate receptors antagonistic effect. Their main objective was to study the neuroprotective properties in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and high-risk factors for the development of cerebral vasospasm. Both the placebo and the dapsone used in this clinical trial were provided by the institution's neurochemistry laboratory.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of remote ischemic conditioning on dynamic cerebral autoregulation in patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving intravenous thrombolysis.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) are relatively frequent and potentially fatal diseases. However, studies that are comparing clinical outcomes between CRC and CLTI patients in more advanced stages of the disease are lacking. The study aim was to evaluate outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) treated by curative-intent liver resection and CLTI patients according to wound, ischemia, foot infection (WIfI) classification by comparing the short- and long-term clinical outcomes.
The goal of the proposed pilot study is to determine which method can detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined timepoints during endo-CABG. Additionally, the investigators want to examine the influence of mechanical ventilation on the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing endo-CABG.
Tissue flossing involves wrapping a thick rubber band around a joint or muscle, which can partially occlude blood flow. In practice, it is often used while concomitantly performing a range of motion exercises (ROM) for 1 to 3 minutes in duration. The mechanisms involved in tissue flossing with a floss band may be similar to those involved in ischemic preconditioning. Previous results would support the use of tissue flossing on ROM, while there are no clear conclusions on post-activation effects on sports-related performance and muscle contractile properties. This may be attributed to the different methodologies used in the studies. Therefore, the time course associated with tissue flossing benefits remains to be investigated.
Cardiac surgery and neurosurgery may decrease cerebral blood flow leading to cerebral dysfunction. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitor via Near-infrared spectometry (NIRS) is recommended for early detection and correction. The standard site of NIRS sensor is forehead area which is impractical in operation with incision at forehead area. The investigators suggest an alternative sensor site at temporal area. The objective of this study is to assess the correlation of rScO2 measured from sensor attached at forehead vs. temporal area.
Various strategies have been proposed to prevent or mitigate the effects of ischemia-reperfusion injury following the use of tourniquets in orthopedic surgery cases. One of them is applying "remote ischemic preconditioning." This randomized controlled trial is planned to evaluate the effectiveness of remote ischemic preconditioning in preventing tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion injury in total knee arthroscopy with dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis.
Flap reconstruction is utilised increasingly for repair of skin and soft tissue defects following pelvic exenteration. Many methods have been proposed but the outcomes associated with each remain largely unknown and the choice dependant on surgeon preference and patient/ disease characteristics. This review sought to assess the preferred methods for perineal reconstruction following pelvic exenteration by retrospectively assessing the outcomes associated with each at an international, multi-centre level.
The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate whether two major vasopressors (norepinephrine vs. phenylephrine) used for treatment of hypotension during breast reconstruction with free flap transfer surgery have different effects on blood flow of the flap vessel measured by transit time flowmetry. Since there are few prior studies that compared the effects of these two vasopressors on the blood flow of the flap, this study will be conducted in the form of a pilot study in order to establish the evidence for the future randomized controlled trial.
