Filter by:Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a mode of mechanical ventilation that alternates between two levels of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support and allows spontaneous respiratory effort at either CPAP level. It is considered as an alternative, life-saving modality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that struggle for oxygenation. Compared to the classical ventilation, APRV has been shown to provide lower peak pressure, better oxygenation, less circulatory loss, and better gas exchange without deteriorating the hemodynamic condition of the ARDS patient. This mode is believed to help to achieve the target of opening consolidated lung areas (recruitment) and to prevent repeated opening-closing of alveoli (decruitment). However, there is still insufficient and limited proof to support this hypothesis. Recently, it has been proposed that early use of protective mechanical ventilation with APRV could be used preemptively to prevent development of ARDS in high risk patients. In that study, APRV prevented clinical and histological lung injury by protecting alveolar epithelial integrity, preserving surfactant and alveolar stability, and reducing pulmonary edema. The primary purpose of the present study was to investigate whether early use of APRV as a lung-protecting strategy was superior to the conventional methods in a patient population with high risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS)/Aortic Aneurysm is a common feature of aortic wall events, including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, aortic ulceration and aortic trauma, and occurs in up to 35 cases per 100,000 cases per year between the ages of 65 and 75 years. Increased levels of the inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein predict cardiovascular events. Since statins lower levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein as well as cholesterol, the authors hypothesized that people with acute aortic syndrome but without hyperlipidemia might benefit from statin treatment.
No-reflow is defined as the lack of myocardial perfusion despite opening of the epicardial coronary vessels in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It has been demonstrated that either impaired flow or the absence of flow is associated with an increased rate of mortality. Among available treatment options, intracoronary adenosine is widely used in clinical practice, moreover, adrenaline is a safe alternative for the cases where use of adenosine is limited due to presence of hypotension or bradycardia. Nonetheless, evidence from retrospective and observational studies suggest that intracoronary adrenaline is well tolerated and may exert encouraging effects in prompt recovery of flow in these patients. However, very limited data are available on efficacy of intracoronary (IC) adrenaline in normotensive patients. Therefore, this study is planned to study the hypothesis that; intracoronary adrenaline is safe and has significantly higher efficacy as compared to adenosine for the treatment of no-reflow in normotensive patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Clinical trial about beneficial effects of natural supplement in a spray-dried formulation, citraVes™, obtained from Citrus Limon (L.) juice on general body health.
Prospective open-label single-arm feasibility study assessing the tolerability of opioid medication reduction in conjunction with noninvasive peripheral nerve stimulation (NPNS) for patients taking prescription opioids to treat moderate-severe primary RLS.
This is a prospective, clinical, monocentric study aimed to collect biological samples and study microbiota from subjects suffering from metabolic syndrome and from healthy volunteers. Microbiota is a complex consortium of microorganisms, located at the mucosal level (in particular intestinal, oral and vaginal) having a key role in human health and in the onset of several diseases. Microbiota alterations have been found in several diseases (gastrointestinal, metabolic, renal, oncological, gynaecological) The study will allow to: - Provide biological samples (faeces, saliva, blood, urine) from healthy volunteers and patients suffering from chronic renal diseases to the first Italian microbiota biobank; - Study microorganisms using different in vitro and in vivo techniques; - Study the link between the microbiota and the disease. This study is part of the BIOMIS project (Project Code: ARS01_01220), presented as part of the "Avviso per la presentazione di progetti di ricerca industriale e sviluppo sperimentale nelle 12 aree di specializzazione individuate dal PNR 2015-2020" and admitted to funding under the National Operational Program "Ricerca e Innovazione" 2014-2020 by directorial decree of MIUR - Department for Higher Education and Research - n. 2298 of 12 September 2018. BIOMIS includes several clinical studies that enrol patients with different pathologies to collect and store biological samples and study microbiota.
This is a multicenter, open label, multi cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of somatropin in a cohort of Japanese participants with PWS.
The investigators aimed to establish a prospective cohort of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery from April 2021 to September 2022, in Wuhan. The ARDS events, ventilation time, time of extubation, oxygenation index for 3 days after operation were observed. Plasma samples were collected before CPB, and several time points after CPB. Dynamic differential proteins of ARDS after CPB were screened by DIA (Data independent acquisition) proteomics. Quantitative protein marker concentration was used to predict the occurrence of ARDS after operation, the model discrimination and calibration was assessed.
The goal of this study is to determine the applicability of McGill ́s method to patients with diagnoses, collectively referred to as Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome, by comparing the measured data of proband with different diagnosis locations Vertebrogenic Algic syndrome in the Czech Republic.
More than 25% of patients referred for diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) suffer from non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). In this particular setting, balancing between the prevention of thrombosis and the risk of bleeding remains challenging. Oral anticoagulation (OAC) prevents stroke and systemic embolism, but has not been shown to prevent stent thrombosis (ST). Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduces the incidence of recurrent ischemic events and ST, but is less effective in reducing the incidence of cardioembolic stroke associated with AF. A common guideline-supported practice is to combine three drugs (OAC, aspirin and clopidogrel) in a triple therapy, which is associated with high annual risk (up to 25%) of major bleeding. Thus, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to maintain the efficacy while improving the safety of treatment in patients with AF and ACS undergoing PCI. This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, non-inferiority trial. 2230 patients with non-valvular AF that had undergone successful PCI due to an ACS within the previous 72 hours will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive one of the two treatments: dual therapy with dabigatran (150 mg twice daily or 110 mg twice daily) and ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily for 1 month, followed by 60 mg twice daily up to 12 months), or standard therapy according to current guidelines triple therapy with dabigatran (150 mg b.i.d. or 110 mg b.i.d.) plus clopidogrel (75 mg o.d.) plus aspirin (75 mg o.d.) followed by double therapy depending on the bleeding and ischaemic risk. Study treatment will be continued for 12 months. The primary study end-point is the first major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding event (per ISTH), in a time-to-event analysis. The main secondary end-point is a composite efficacy end-point of thromboembolic events (myocardial infarction, stroke, or systemic embolism), death, or unplanned revascularization (PCI or coronary artery bypass grafting) at 12 months. We expect that dual antithrombotic therapy including reduced dose ticagrelor and dabigatran is at least non-inferior regarding bleeding risk and ischaemic protection, compared to the standard triple therapy in patients with AF and after ACS, treated with PCI.
