Filter by:A small gastric remnant after whipple resection improves gastric emptying and therefore prevents the development of delayed gastric emptying.
Newborns admitted to an intensive care unit often require artificial ventilation. For that purpose an endotracheal tube needs to be placed into the trachea, a procedure named endotracheal intubation. The newborns need to be sedated to keep them comfortable, to stop moving and to relax in order to enable the success of the procedure. For this sedation an anesthetic agent named propofol is often used. The used dose of propofol has not been properly studied and as a consequence patients are under- or over -sedated and propofol leads to side effects such as hypotension. The current study aims to find the most appropriate dose of propofol for newborns of different gestational ages and of different post-natal ages. We will use propofol in different doses and after each 5 included patients per age group we will analyze whether the dose needs to be increased or decreased. The effect of the propofol will be extensively monitored and we will study the level of sedation, the quality of intubation, the stability of the patient en the occurrence of side effects. At the end we aim to have appropriate guidelines for propofol doses in newborns of all ages.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of DESyne in Routine Clinical Practice
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the superiority of left atrial appendage occlusion in comparison to oral anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist (INR 2-3) related to the frequency of occurrence of at least one bleeding classified as moderate or major within 24 months.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide and how well it works in treating older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have undergone stem cell transplant. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.
This was a randomized, partially blinded, placebo-controlled, non-confirmatory study to assess the effects of a single infusion of VAY736 on disease activity as measured by brain MRI scans in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
The investigators hypothesized that ticagrelor may enhance endothelial healing after DES implantation by increasing adenosine concentrations by the inhibition of adenosine uptake into erythrocytes, compared to clopidogrel. Thus, the investigators will evaluate the extent of endothelialization (stent strut coverage) and neointimal hyperplasia (neointimal thickness) 3 months after DES implantation by optical coherence tomography (OCT)
We propose to study the effects on hemodynamics (blood pressure, cardiac output, and central venous pressure) of two doses of bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia during cesarean section: a higher dose of 12 mg to a lower dose of 4.5 mg. We will examine recovery times, incidence of hypotension, and compare pain control and maternal satisfaction during and after cesarean section. We hypothesize that low dose bupivacaine spinal anesthesia will provide equivalent anesthesia for cesarean section compared to conventional dose bupivacaine, with less hypotension, faster recovery time, and enhanced maternal satisfaction. Maternal satisfaction will be assessed by self-reported pain scores, incidence of nausea and vomiting, shivering, and ability to interact with baby in the OR.
This is a research study to determine if administering carboplatin at a slower rate when re-treating recurrent ovarian cancer patients prior to the development of a hypersensitivity reaction will decrease the frequency and severity of future hypersensitivity reactions.
Clinical trial phase IIb, double-blind, randomized, controlled with placebo. There is sufficient preliminary evidence to consider intracoronary injection of bone marrow progenitor cells as a viable, safe and beneficial treatment in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, although the biological mechanism of action of bone marrow cells in the myocardium is not known. In this project we propose to investigate comparatively and from a biological and clinical point of view the applicability of regenerative therapy with autologous bone marrow cells in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
