Filter by:1. Ticagrelor inhibits inflammation and improves vascular endothelial cell function to a greater extent than clopidogrel in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention. 2. Ticagrelor can reduce the serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers both in coronary and in peripheral venous in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).
For the patient who passed the screen of weaning from ventilation, the traditional sedation drug such as propofol and midazolam should be decreased or stopped, then it would induce the stress response and agitation, such as hypertension,tachycardia etc. In order to resolve that problem, the sedation should be given again. but if renewed to sedation, it would cause prolonged sedation and ventilation duration. So as to resolve above issues, after the patient passed the screen of weaning, sedation is changed to Dexmedetomidine, a new sedation drug, that could wake up at any time. So our study to compare the efficacy and safety of sequential sedation of propofol or midazolam and dexmedetomidine in mechanical ventilated ICU patients.
The study aims to assess the effects of the SMS Mother Reminder system on use of health care in Uganda. A secondary aim of the study is to determine the behavioral factors and cost-effectiveness, as well as test the usability of the SMS Mother Reminder in Uganda.
We have as hypothesis that the aquatic aerobic physical training program can help promote beneficial adaptations on the cardiovascular, respiratory and systemic inflammation variables, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (pulmonary emphysema).
Vocal stimulation may encourage spontaneous breathing in patients dependent on mechanical ventilation. The study will include 30 patients on mechanical ventilation that will be intervened by the vocal stimulation and 30 patients on mechanical ventilation will serve as the control group.
The use of inhaled medications for the treatment of pulmonary diseases allows for the delivery of a high concentration of a drug at the site of disease with reduced systemic absorption and risk of systemic adverse effects. Inhaled Tobramycin has been successfully used in the maintenance treatment of CF patients with chronic colonization with PA (Pseudomonas aeruginosa). In the CF population TOBI has been proven to improve lung functions, decrease the density of the PA in the sputum, decrease hospitalizations, and reduce the risk of mortality. Non CF Bronchiectasis share many features in common with CF, including frequent colonization with PA that leads to deterioration in lung function and increased morbidity. A recent Cochrane review concluded that there is a small benefit for the use of prolonged antibiotics in the treatment of bronchiectasis, however further randomized controlled trials with adequate power and standardized end points are required. There have been reports in the literature describing the efficacy of inhaled tobramycin the treatment of patients with non CF bronchiectasis with eradication of PA, and significant improvement in respiratory symptoms. There were however patients who discontinued treatment due to adverse events most commonly cough wheezing and dyspnea. (Scheinberg and Shore, Chest 2005). TOBI Podhaler is a dry powder inhaler that was recently launched, and is much easier and faster to use compared to nebulised Tobramycin. To the best of our knowledge Tobramycin dry powder formulation has not yet been trialed in patients with non CF bronchiectasis. The purpose of this trial is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of TOBI Podhaler in patients with non CF bronchiectasis, and to gather more data on the benefit of continuous antibiotic therapy in patients with non CF bronchectais.
The purpose of this study is to determinate if the patients submitted to laparoscopic surgery in trendelemburg position develope more inadequate anaesthesic emergence than patients submitted to laparoscopic surgery in other positions.
The purpose was to evaluate efficacy, safety and effects on survival for lobaplatin and Gemcitabine in combination with Docetaxel, which can provide a kind of completely new second-line chemotherapy program for osteosarcoma patients in aggressive-phase, provide accurate and reliable evidence-based results for clinical applications of lobaplatin in osteosarcoma patients as one of the third-generation of platinum drugs, and further consummate and enrich clinical practice guidance on osteosarcoma all over the world.
Our study will evaluate the use of topical and intravenous (IV) Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in spine surgery. The purpose of TXA is to prevent clotting during surgery to reduce blood loss. When used intravenously, it has been shown to safe, efficacious, and effective in reducing transfusion requirements and blood loss in spine surgeries. We want to evaluate the effect of using TXA topically and intravenously to see if it further reduces blood loss in children undergoing major surgery compared to IV TXA only
This study is Observational multi-center, prospective study to characterize novel pathogen- and host-related factors in hospitalized patients and patients in the Emergency Department (ED) presenting with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) and/or sepsis.The Study's objective is to develop a novel multi-parametric diagnostic model for the management of patients with LRTI and/or sepsis that will be based on novel pathogen- and host-related factors.
