Filter by:Patients with ARDS often suffer a gravity-dependent alveolar collapse, resulting in a reduction of tidal volume, residual alveolar excessive distension, and ventilator-related lung injury(VILI) induced by unreasonable ventilator setting.Prone ventilation (PPV) improves the gravity-dependent alveolar ventilation and promotes lung recruitment in the gravity-dependent area and improves lung compliance. Previous studies showed that prolonged PPV combined with low tidal volume(LTV) lung protected ventilation can significantly reduce the mortality of patients with moderate to severe ARDS.Although more than 60% of patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19 has been widely implemented PPV,studies showed an improvement in oxygenation in patients with ARDS(the P/F radio improved by more than 20% before and after PPV) was 9-77%, that is, That is, some patients are unresponsive to PPV. In addition, some patients showed CO2 responsiveness after PPV(ventilation rate (VR) decreased significantly after PPV).The tools for monitoring the effects of PPV on ventilation and blood flow at bedside are still lacking, Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, non-radiative, real-time bedside lung imaging technique that can monitor local lung ventilation distribution. This study intends to use EIT to evaluate pulmonary ventilation, blood flow distribution and local V/Q ratio before and after PPV, as well as to monitor the changes in pulmonary physiology before and after PPV, explore the mechanism of PPV improving oxygenation by combined with the changes in oxygenation, and explore the factors that predict and affect PPV responsiveness.
The goal of this feasibility/pilot study is to investigate whether or not vascular ultrasound can be used to aid the diagnosis of May Thurner Syndrome, in adult patients presenting to the vascular department with unexplained left leg swelling. The main research objective it aims to answer are: - The diameter variation of the left common iliac vein based on posture, using duplex ultrasound. - To determine inter- and intra-observer variation of the diameter measurement of the left common iliac vein using duplex ultrasound. Participants will have an ultrasound scan performed on their abdomen by three different clinical vascular scientists, and will have each scan performed whilst lying supine on an examination couch and again when the couch is tilted to 45 degrees. Researchers will compare the results of symptomatic patients to asymptomatic patients, to see if there is a difference in the diameter of the left common iliac vein between these two groups.
Pre/posttest randomized control trial design. In this study all patients will be randomly assigned into two groups (30 in each group) : - Group A will do baduanjin exercise in addition to traditional medical treatment. - Group B will take traditional medical treatment only.
Considering the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Turner syndrome patients, noninvasive cardiac imaging is crucial for diagnosis and follow-up. From the review of the literature, it was evident that the imaging techniques used involved the evaluation of only the thoracic findings, in particular the heart and the thoracic aorta, while no data are currently available on the distal abdominal aorta or iliac arteries, since ultrasound and MRI are interrupted at the diaphragmatic level.
This was a randomized controlled study. The infants enrolled were randomly divided into the IOE group (with Intermittent Oro-Esophageal Tube Feeding, n=25) and the PNG group (with Nasogastric Tube Feeding, n=23), all receiving systemic therapy. Before and after 4-week treatment, pulmonary infection, swallowing function, nutritional status and body weight between the two group were compared.
Cocaine use has increased in our country in recent decades. It is associated with cardiovascular events and early atherosclerotic disease. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of its most frequent and serious manifestations. There is a lack of scientific information on ACS associated with acute and chronic cocaine use in Argentina. This study aims to describe the socioeconomic, clinical, and coronary angiographic characteristics, as well as the extent of atherosclerotic disease in patients with ACS associated with cocaine use, and to compare them with ACS not associated with cocaine use. Methods: We propose an observational, analytical, single-center, two-phase study, with a retrospective and a prospective component. Patients with a diagnosis of ACS admitted to the coronary care unit of a high-complexity public hospital will be included. Clinical, biochemical, coronary angiographic, extracoronary atherosclerotic disease extension and prognostic variables will be described. These variables will be compared between patients with cocaine-associated ACS and non-cocaine-associated ACS.
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are at a higher risk of ischemic complications, even while receiving proper dual antiplatelet therapy. For this reason, identifying high-risk patients and personalizing treatment according to their profile could be a solution towards improving the efficacy and safety of the antiplatelet treatment. This is a prospective single centre study analyzing correlations and clinical outcomes of patients in relation to biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome. The blood samples were collected from patients admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of ACS and treated with dual antiplatelet therapy. The blood samples were collected from each patient within the first 24 hours after the admission for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and after 72 hours of hospitalization.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare the efficacy and safety of vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome gel versus vaginal lubricant in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in postmenopausal women. The main question it aims to answer is: Is vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome gel more effective than vaginal lubricant in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause in postmenopausal women Participants will be randomized into 2 treatment groups: vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome group and vaginal lubricant group. Researchers will compare whether vaginal hyaluronic acid, arginine and liposome group has better improvement than vaginal lubricant group.
Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small "packages" of genes in the body. Down syndrome (DS), also known as trisomy 21, is caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is named after John Langdon Down, the British physician who described the syndrome for the first time in 1866.Down syndrome remains the most common chromosomal condition diagnosed in the United States. Current study will be randomized controlled trial. Study will be approved by ethical committee. After that informed consent will be taken and patients will be included in the study based on the inclusion criteria. Sampling technique will be simple random sampling the calculated sample sizes will be 25 in each group. All participants will be divided in two groups. One group will receive treadmill training with Weighted Ankle Cuffs and second group will receive treadmill training only. Conventional therapy will be given to both groups which include isometric, strengthening exercise and trunk exercise. The exercise was given for 10 repetitions/session. Infants will receive the treadmill training protocol about 6 min/day, 4 day/week at a belt speed of 0.18m/sec. After taking informed consent baseline measurement will be taken through gait assessment rating scale and Berg balance scale for balance and Gait parameters respectively. Data will be collected before treatment and after 6 weeks. Treatment session will be performed for 1 hour per day, 4 days a week for total of 6 weeks. The difference in improvement before and after 4th weeks will be noted and compared through SPSS 26.0.
The research employs a pre-test post-test control group design with a randomized controlled semi-experimental approach to determine the impact of education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome and Mandala activity on premenstrual symptoms. Research Hypotheses: H01: Mandala activity is not effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H02: Education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome is not effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H13: Mandala activity is effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H14: Education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome is effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. H15: Mandala activity is more effective than education provided for coping with premenstrual syndrome in reducing premenstrual symptoms among students with PMS.
