Filter by:Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a surgical emergency that can develop in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ACS is a type of limb ischemia, which means that the limb, such as the arm or leg, loses blood flow. Patients on ECMO can develop this condition for many reasons, but most commonly from the ECMO procedure itself. This most commonly involves the leg. Key symptoms of ACS include severe pain, loss of pulses, loss of feeling, and inability to move the limb. However, because patients on ECMO are often sedated, ACS is difficult to diagnose as patients can not report symptoms. As a result, the only available tool for diagnosing ACS may be measurement of pressures in the limb. This is normally done with a needle-device, which is inserted into the leg for a single measurement. However, a recently developed device, called the MY01 Continuous Compartment Pressure Monitor, allows for continuous pressure readings instead of a single measurement. Multiple measurements may allow for much greater accuracy in diagnosing ACS, which may result in faster time to surgery and potentially save more limbs than single measurements. This device may also be less invasive than an older method of continuous pressure measuring, which uses a needle and tubing that is 14-gauge in size. Therefore, this study aims to compare 3 different types of methods for diagnosing ACS in patients on ECMO, which are 1) Standard of Care, 2) Standard of Care and MY01, and 3)Standard of Care and 14-gauge slit catheter.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common medical disorder and represent a group of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that is characterized by chronic abdominal pain , bloating , passage of mucus or straining with bowel movements, sense of incomplete evacuation after bowel movements or sense of urgency to move the bowels.Several parasites including Entamoeba. histolytica, Giardia spp., Blastocystis. hominis, and Trichinella spp. have been discussed as contributing factors to the development of IBS. B. hominis is one of the most common human intestinal protozoa in both developing and developed countries. some studies have reported a significant association between the parasitic infections, especially Blastocystis, and IBS.Cryptosporidium has been reported in IBS patients, with the onset of gastrointestinal symptoms after an acute episode of cryptosporidiosis despite recovery and parasite clearance.Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the association between the parasitic infections and IBS. Aim of the work: To detect prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in irritable bowel syndrome patients in sohag.
The goals of this clinical trial are to identify factors associated with the development of problem behavior in Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) and to develop an effective behavioral assessment and treatment model for problem behavior in children with CdLS. The hypotheses are as follows: 1. Based on pilot data, the investigators hypothesize that individuals with CdLS will exhibit preferences for auditory stimuli relative to other categories (e.g., visual, tactile) of stimuli. 2. Based on pilot data, the investigators hypothesize that individuals with CdLS will exhibit problem behavior to obtain adult attention or to escape task demands relative to tangible and control conditions, as measured by functional analysis results. 3. Function-based behavioral treatments will reduce problem behavior in individuals with CdLS by 80% or greater relative to baseline rates. 4. Individuals with CdLS and problem behavior will exhibit more impaired communication, demonstrate increased emotion dysregulation, and exhibit more severe symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) relative to those with CdLS and no problem behavior. Participants in the intervention group (families of children with CdLS and problem behaviors) will be asked to complete study measures and attend 2 full days and one half-day of clinic services at Kennedy Krieger Institute so that the study team can provide assessment and treatment of child problem behaviors, and then train parents to apply the intervention. Participants in the control group (families of children with CdLS and no problem behavior) will be asked to complete study measures once every 3 months for a 2-year period to monitor the children. This study will improve the ability to effectively treat problem behavior is CdLS, as well as identify key variables associated with problem behavior in CdLS which may be examined in future studies and clinical practice to foster early intervention and prevention efforts.
The constellation of long-term psychological, physical, and cognitive impairments arising after a critical illness among family members of ICU survivors has been labeled as "Post Intensive Care Syndrome - Family" (PICS-F). Despite PICS-F awareness, the long-term issues faced by ICU family members remain poorly understood with several gaps in knowledge remaining such as the role of protective psychosocial factors, caregiver burden, or family satisfaction in the development of the syndrome. This single-center, longitudinal exploratory study, aims to determine the incidence of each PICS-F impairment (psychological, physical, and cognitive) and to identify factors (during ICU stay and after hospital discharge) associated with the development or prevention of the PICS-F impairments among family members of ICU survivors of a public hospital in Chile.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of orally administered nirmatrelvir/ritonavir compared with placebo/ritonavir to improve quality of life in non-hospitalized adult participants suffering from post-acute COVID-19 syndrome.
The purpose of this prospective, open-label, single-center study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VEN-AZA (venetoclax and azacytidine) followed by modified BUCY (busulfan and cyclophosphamide) as conditioning regimen for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a syndrome characterized by respiratory distress and refractory hypoxemia caused by pulmonary and extra-pulmonary factors. Despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment in recent years, the mortality rate of severe ARDS is still around 40%. The distribution of lung lesions in ARDS patients is significantly gravity-dependent. Even with lung-protective ventilation strategies, tidal volume is concentrated in the ventral lung region, leading to ventilator-associated lung injury. Prone position ventilation can increase ventilation to the dorsal lung tissue and improve the ventilation-perfusion ratio, thus improving oxygenation. During prone position ventilation in ARDS patients, lung-protective ventilation strategies should be maintained, but with different respiratory mechanics from the supine position, requiring adjustment of ventilator parameters. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) technology can be used for bedside monitoring of mechanically ventilated patients, providing real-time feedback on the patient's ventilation status and having great potential for clinical applications. Investigators believes that EIT monitoring during prone position ventilation in ARDS patients can individualize lung-protective ventilation strategies, minimize alveolar overdistension and collapse, improve the weaning success rate of invasive ventilation, and ultimately improve patient prognosis.
Girls and women 12-35 years old with obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome who are on or off metformin, will receive a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonist intervention for 10 months to induce metabolic changes, weight loss and improve reproductive abnormalities.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a recurrent, functional disorder characterized by abdominal pain and discomfort, changes in bowel habits and gastrointestinal symptoms such as distension and sensation of abdominal inflammation, incomplete evacuation, urgency and tenesmus. In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms, patients with IBS often experience a wide range of other problems, such as non-abdominal pain, psychological symptoms, poor quality of life, and difficulties in carrying out activities of daily living. Studies carried out with probiotics have shown that their administration can be effective in the prevention and treatment of IBS. Our objective is to develop a probiotic product (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum e Lactobacillus rhamnosus) is safe and effective in reducing symptoms caused by IBS, as well as improving quality of life. In the present study, 114 volunteers of both genders will be included, randomly distributed into two groups: Test group (n=57): Volunteers supplemented with the probiotic product (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum e Lactobacillus rhamnosus- Final concentration: 1 x 1010 CFU/day). Placebo Group (n=57): Volunteers supplemented with placebo. The study will last 90 days and will have 3 visits to apply the proposed questionnaires.
