Filter by:Left main (LM) coronary artery disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality owing to the large myocardial territory at risk for ischemia. Evidence from randomized controlled trials supports that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES) for LM disease is an acceptable treatment strategy compared with coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients with low or intermediate anatomic complexity. However in-stent restenosis (ISR) after DES in LM disease is still occurring with an incidence of 9,7%. Studies comparing the percutaneous coronary intervention with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the treatment of in-stent restenosis in unprotected left main have been scarce. While surgical revascularization is considered to be the standard treatment for this kind of stent failure, owing to a high risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality, the restoration of flow with PCI may be a reliable alternative. Additionally, it is not clear whether re-PCI is safe in these patients. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to compare long-term outcomes following PCI or CABG for UPLM-ISR disease.
The study is a multi-centre, observational study which enrolls 150 IBS-C patients and 150 non-IBS-C patients in China.
In our study, 17 septic, 43 sepsis-related acute kidney injury and 24 control patients were enrolled. Blood and urine samples were collected at the intensive care unit from acutely diagnosed septic and sepsis-related acute kidney injury patients at three time points (T1-3): T1: within 24 hours after admission; T2: second day morning; T3: third day morning of follow-up. Patients with malignancies needing palliative care, end-stage renal disease or kidney transplantation were excluded. Not more than one sample (venous blood, midstream spot urine) was collected from control patients. Serum and urinary actin levels were determined by quantitative Western blot. Urinary actin concentrations were expressed as µg/L, while serum actin levels were expressed as mg/L. Data were compared with laboratory and clinical parameters. Patients were categorized by the Sepsis-3 definitions and 30-day mortality data were investigated.
This is a randomised, double-blind, multicentre clinical study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of SB17 compared to Stelara® in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in renal regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and its relationship with the occurrence of postoperative AKI.
This is a single center, randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial (with a follow-on single-blind safety evaluation stage), assessing a ready-to-drink nutritional supplement used without PERT ("PERT-free"), nutritional supplement for blood lipid levels, safety and tolerability compared to a standard of care nutritional supplement used concomitantly with PERT.
To examine if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.
Macrovascular invasion (MVI) is common in HCC, Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is the most common form of MVI in HCC, with an incidence ranging from 44 to 62.2%. About 10% to 60% of HCC patients have PVTT at the time of diagnosis. the prognosis for those with PVTT remains poor, as their median survival is only 2-4 months via supportive care. There is currently no widely-accepted consensus for the management of HCC with PVTT. According to some guidelines in Europe and America, HCC with PVTT is regarded as Stage C per Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Staging system, and sorafenib alone is recommended as the treatment of choice. This study is to analyze the safety and efficacy of radiotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis.
Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can reflect the microstructure and pathological changes of tissue, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can quantitatively evaluate the fine structure of white matter in brain. In this study, conventional and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI, DTI) sequences were used to analyze the brain of monochorionic twin pregnancies with demise of one fetus.
This study (FLOWER) will investigate effectiveness, safety, progression patterns and clinical management of untreated advanced NSCLC patients receiving fist-line osimertinib in the real-world.
