Filter by:Tahneek is an Arabic word which means putting something sweet such as dates, in the infant's mouth after the birth. Neonatal hypoglycemia is common in the first few days after birth. Up to 15 % of normal newborn babies will have low blood glucose concentrations. It has been demonstrated that treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia with oral dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone in reversing the hypoglycemia, and also reduced the rate of NICU admission. investigators study is using dates to asses its effect on hypoglycemia in infants at risk.
Nowadays there is increasing doubts about the safety of anesthesia . Anesthesiologists have to console the worried patients, who are anxious about the potential risks of anesthetic-induced brain damage, by suggesting that any detrimental effects would be "mild".Anesthetics are responsible for postoperative taste and odor defects and cognitive dysfunction.
This is a randomized control trial that aims to evaluate whether patient-centered education, compared to routine education, decreases narcotic consumption without interfering with return to physical activity following hospital discharge. In addition, it will test whether patient-centered education decreases the quantity of narcotics prescribed and/or increases patient satisfaction and preparedness.
This study investigates the cardioprotective effect of remote ischaemic pre-/postconditioning in patients presenting with a NSTEMI/Unstable angina undergoing PCI.
The goal of this study is to learn more about voice and airway problems that patients experience during and after the time patients have an oral endotracheal tube in patients' airway to help patients breathe while receiving mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit (ICU).
Given the existing controversy regarding the appropriate determination time for placement of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in patients at risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the modest ability of current criteria to determine which patients will experience SCD, and the high impact of SCD to society, we propose to conduct a prospective non-randomized observational study to determine: - Whether quantification of left ventricular (LV) scar volume by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMRI) prior to hospital discharge helps to predict which patients will have a low ejection fraction (35%) at follow up and qualify for ICD implantation. - Whether quantification of infarct scar volume by CMRI will help to identify which patients will experience malignant ventricular arrhythmias and/or SCD at follow-up, independent of the LV ejection fraction (LVEF). Primary hypothesis: Percentage of left ventricular scar volume as measured by CMRI post-MI strongly correlates with LVEF at 40 days and 3 months. Secondary hypothesis: 1. A volume of >40% of left ventricular scar measured by CMRI post-MI is predictive of LVEF less than 35% at 40 days and at 3 months 2. Volume scar as measured by Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after AMI (at day 5) is predictive of clinical outcomes: SCD, total mortality, heart failure admission and life-threatening malignant ventricular arrhythmias regardless of ejection fraction at 40 days and at 3 months. Safety hypothesis: ICDs will be implanted if patients meet criteria at 40 days post MI as per the current American College of Cardiology (ACC) /American Heart Association (AHA) /Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2008 Guidelines for Device-Based Therapy of Cardiac Rhythm Abnormalities
This large multinational, non-interventional study (NIS), will retrospectively collect data derived from established medical records over a period of up to approximately 6 years (2013 to 2018), building a platform to capture and consolidate information on treatment patterns, Overall Survival (OS) and treatment effectiveness outcomes in the real-world setting.
Post sphinterotomy-bleeding (PSB) occurs in 1-2 % of Endosocpic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) and usually needs no blood transfusion after endoscopic therapy but can be life-threatening in some rare cases. There are no prospective comparative studies concerning the endoscopic treatment of PSB due to the rarity of the incident. Insertion of an endoprosthesis in the common bile duct may be more effective than Epinephrin-injection into the papilla which is the therapy of first choice. A retrospective single centre analysis on both used methods over a study period of 16 years shall be performed.
To evaluate the safety of brexpiprazole 1 mg or 2 mg after a 14 week treatment regimen for agitation associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type patients who completed in a double-blind trial, and to investigate the efficacy of brexpiprazole.
To assess the effectiveness of maintenance treatment of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with the Long-acting beta2-agonist - long-acting muscarinic antagonists-inhaled corticosteroids (LABA-LAMA-ICS) combination with a LABA-LAMA combination on the risk of COPD exacerbation and the safety on the incidence of community acquired pneumonia.
