Filter by:Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a life-threatening condition with an increasing incidence (7-13/100000 PY). The mortality of AMI is associated with the development and extent of transmural intestinal necrosis (IN), ranging from 25% without IN to 75% with IN. Given its potential reversibility, preventing the progression of AMI towards IN is now considered a primary therapeutic goal. Early management of AMI can thus avoid fatal outcomes and prevent lifelong complications such as short bowel syndrome. Following the results of a pilot study showing an improvement in survival and lower resection rates, our team created a first-of-its-kind intestinal stroke center (SURVI unit, Beaujon Hospital, Clichy, France) that provides 24/7 standardized multimodal and multidisciplinary care to AMI patients referred from all hospitals in the Paris region. As no randomized clinical trial has ever been conducted, the treatment offered by SURVI is based on pathophysiological knowledge and observational clinical data. AMI naturally progresses to sepsis, surgical complications, and multi-organ failure, direct consequences of IN. Features of sepsis are reported in up to 90% of AMI patients compared with 3-22% of patients with brain or myocardial ischemia, supporting a specific septic component in AMI. Experimental studies demonstrated reduced translocation and mortality in germ-free animals or after administration of oral antibiotics targeting Gram-negative and anaerobic early bacterial overgrowth and translocation. In a prospective observational study, the investigators recently suggested a protective effect of systematic oral antibiotics in terms of intestinal preservation, yielding a reduced occurrence of IN (HR: 0.16, 95% confidence interval 0.03-0.62). However, the systematic use of oral antibiotics in AMI remains controversial due to the individual and collective risk of increasing the carriage of multi-drug resistant bacterias.
The device is indicated for use in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease
This study was conducted in patients with ischemic stroke; This study was conducted to examine the effect of robotic rehabilitation and transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation applied in addition to robotic rehabilitation on the patient's functional level and autonomic nervous system. 40 people over the age of 18 participated in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups: robotic rehabilitation and transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation applied in addition to robotic rehabilitation. While the robotic rehabilitation group received Lokomat and neurological rehabilitation, the other group received stimulation with the Vagustim device, which is applied non-invasively through the ear, in addition to Lokomat and neurological rehabilitation. Spasticity, autonomic nervous system, walking speed, motor function, quality of life, muscle activity and pain were evaluated in both groups before starting treatment and six weeks after treatment. In the study, significance was evaluated at p<0.05 level.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is a complex pathology, the pathophysiology of which is still imperfectly understood. Its morbidity and mortality remain significant. In addition to the damage sustained by the brain in the immediate aftermath of aneurysmal rupture, which is inaccessible to life-saving treatment, a significant proportion of lesions occur at a distance from the initial event. Delayed cerebral ischaemia is one of the most morbid complications. It combines an inflammatory pattern with vascular dysfunction and neuronal excitotoxicity, leading to avoidable secondary neuronal loss. Vascular dysfunction is mediated by a loss of homeostasis between endothelial cells and figurative blood cells, including platelets. However, the interrelationship between these elements and the precise chronology of the dysfunction remain imperfectly described to date. It therefore seems appropriate to propose temporal monitoring of platelet activation kinetics over time, combined with concomitant collection of markers of endothelial damage, in order to clarify the vascular chronobiology of this pathology.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of the stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair (STABILISE) technique in the patency of intercostal and lumbar arteries detectable on computed tomography angiography (CTA) in patients with type B aortic dissection and its correlation with the occurrence of spinal cord ischaemia (SCI). Primary end-point: patency of the intercostal and lumbar arteries on follow-up CTA. Secondary end-point: spinal cord ischaemia
This study is a prospective, observational, single-center study to assess the correlation between rs-fMRI measures and clinical measures of standard MRI, NIRS, EEG and clinical scores. The target population was neonates with HIE referred to MRI after hypothermia treatment, which was initiated within 6 hours of birth, continued for 72 hours and followed by a slow rewarming period of 6-12 hours. A one-year clinical and imaging follow-up is planned. As the aim of the present study is to assess the predictiveness of the outcome one year after the HIE event, no follow-up is planned.
In this study, we are trying to see if vitamin B6 can minimize the amplified blood pressure response to exercise following ischemia-reperfusion injury. We are interested in a protein called P2X3, of which function can be blocked by vitamin B6, in the neurons of our nervous system. It is very important for blood pressure regulation. We would like to see if the P2X3 plays a role in patients' rising blood pressure during exercise. The results of the proposed studies will provide a base for those two potential economic and non-invasive inventions to improve the overall health and well-being of PAD patients.
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a severe condition that might occur after cardiovascular surgery. Several risk factors for AMI, such as multimorbidity, the use of vasopressors, and an increase in inflammatory markers have been identified in the past. However, these risk factors also seem to influence the blood and urine levels of I-FABP. This prospective pilot study intends to evaluate the value of perioperatively assessed I-FABP levels and to correlate these values with clinical or angiographic findings in mesenteric ischemia to improve a standardised diagnosis.
This observational study was designed for observe the cerebral hemodynamics and dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. And analysis the relationship between the dCA damage degree and hemorrhage transformation (HT) and clinical outcome. Patients: patients with AIS caused by middle cerebral artery or internal carotid artery occlusion who accepted EVT. dCA Examination: dCA examinations were performed at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 5 days after EVT. The objectives of the study were as follows: The changes of cerebral hemodynamics and parameters of dCA in different time periods after EVT were analyzed. So as to determine the correlation between hemodynamics and dCA change and HT and clinical outcome after EVT and to explore the predictors of HT and adverse clinical outcomes.
Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever large-vessel ischemic stroke patients treated with clopidogrel assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.
