Filter by:Heart failure is a common, costly, and disabling condition characterized by recurrent exacerbations. Episodes of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) account for the largest proportion of admissions and 30-day readmissions to US hospitals. Medication nonadherence and dietary/fluid nonadherence have been associated with re-admissions. Hand-carried ultrasound (HCU) devices are portable, relatively inexpensive, and can augment the physical exam in the assessment of volume status. Dilated Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) with poor collapsibility correlates with elevated central venous pressure, which may be correlated with earlier readmission for ADHF. Study design to measure maximum IVC diameter (IVC max) in mm and the degree of IVC collapsibility with inspiration on qualitative assessment in approximately 100 patients admitted with ADHF. The co-investigator will share the IVC images and interpretation with educational intervention group patients in real time; IVC images and interpretation will not be shared with control group patients. Study team will assess whether sharing these IVC measurements correlates with greater adherence to heart failure self-management after discharge, as measured by the administration of the Medical Outcomes Study Specific Adherence Scale, modified to a 3-item version relevant for patients with heart failure (MOSSAS-3HF) at 4 weeks after discharge. Study team will also assess for any difference in 30-day readmission rates for intervention vs. control group patients.
That the study will be carried out as it has the protocol instructions, respecting the applicable regulations for clinical investigations with medical devices and following the internationally accepted ethical standards
This is a Phase 2, open-label, parallel-group, multiple dose study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of multiple doses of lixivaptan in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in stages CKD1, CKD2 or CKD3.
Chronic obstinate constipation is hard to deal with in clinic. Especially for obstructed defecation syndrome(ODS). Rectal prolapse is the most common type of ODS. Lots of surgical procedures have been suggested for it but with unsatisfactory results.To develop new surgical treatment and to provide higher quality proof for this intractable condition is of significance.
The objective of this prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial is to evaluate the completeness of stent expansion following a strategy of lesion preparation with either a Super High-Pressure NC PTCA Balloon (OPN NC) or a Scoring PTCA Balloon (NSE Alpha) after unsuccessful lesion preparation with conventional NC balloon angioplasty in an angiographically well-defined group of patients with severely calcified coronary lesions (grade 3) undergoing coronary stent implantation (SYNERGY everolimus-eluting stent (EES)).
Find the stimulation threshold of the facial nerve (ganglion Geniculate) associated with tolerability and safety in subjects Healthy humans.
This prospective interventional randomized controlled trial is conducted to compare a new technique for Sacrospinous-Sacrotuberous fixation with the traditional sacrospinous ligament fixation technique for treatment of uterovaginal and vaginal vault prolapse.

The use of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is increasing in pediatric anesthesia because it provides lesser direct mechanical stimulation of the airway due to being placed above the larynx. However, LMA insertion can be more difficult in children than in adults due to their unique characteristics of pediatric airway. Neuromuscular blocking agents, so-called, muscle relaxants have long been used to facilitate insertion of airway devices. But there are pros and cons for the efficacy of muscle relaxants in LMA insertion, and most studies were investigated in adults.
This is a study of experimental medication BMS-986036 given to adults with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH; the buildup of fat and inflammation in the liver that is not caused by alcohol) and liver cirrhosis (liver damage characterized by normal liver tissue being replaced by scar tissue).
