Filter by:Ticagrelor, a more potent P2Y12 inhibitor, has been shown to reduce major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). It is increasingly used as a first line therapy in ACS. However, more potent P2Y12 inhibition has been associated with increased bleeding. This may be of particular concern for patients with ACS who require coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). In particular, the timing for cessation of ticagrelor before proceeding to CABG is unclear. RAPID TITRATE CABG is a randomized vanguard study to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary safety of a strategy of early versus delayed CABG in ACS patients initially treated with ticagrelor and to identify potential mechanisms underlying benefits or complications of early bypass surgery.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 with or without cytarabine works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 works better with or without cytarabine in treating patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiological entity, which is associated with a variety of clinical conditions. The imaging and clinical findings are typically reversible, but many patients still have permanent neurological sequelae with a fatal outcome. Up to now there are no consistent conclusions about the factors that affecting its prognosis. The objective of our study is to discuss the effects of different causes, different imaging findings and laboratory parameters on the prognosis of PRES and deepen the understanding of the nature of PRES. This will contribute to predict the prognosis of patients with PRES and to further investigate the pathogenesis of PRES so as to guide the clinical treatment and follow-up evaluation. A multi-center retrospective case study will be performed from January 2016 to July 2017 and a total of 400 patients who meet the criteria for PRES diagnosis from 10 sub-centers are anticipated included in this research. Patients will be divided into several subgroups according to the etiology. Date will be collected from the clinical records，imaging and laboratory data of the patients, including demographic data, clinical data, imaging findings, laboratory parameters and follow-up data. During the follow-up, MRI and blood biochemical examination will be performed once more. The imaging findings of the patients will be assessed by two neuroimaging physicians, any difference between them will be agreed upon by consensus. Prognosis of the patients will be assessed by using the modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores. All of the above data is saved into the database. In this study we will review etiologies and imaging findings, laboratory and follow-up data of the patients we selected. Univariate and multivariate analysis will be performed within the group and between groups according to the subgroups. Then we will discuss the connection between different causes, different imaging findings and laboratory parameters and the prognosis of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) commonly complicates acute illness in ICU. This syndrome is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In management of ARDS patients, lung protective ventilation and prone ventilation are key strategies which have shown survival benefits in recent years. Prone positioning has been reported to have hemodynamic disturbances like hypotension and arrhythmias. The literature till date is unclear with regards to acute hemodynamic changes which can happen during initiation of prone ventilation ,with a few studies suggesting decreasing cardiac output and a few increasing cardiac output. In recent years, trans-esophageal Doppler (TED) has become one of important hemodynamic assessment tool due to its minimal invasiveness, ease of use with its clinical utility established by various studies both in operation theatres and intensive care units. In current study, the investigators would like to evaluate acute hemodynamic effects of prone ventilation with TED in patients of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Several previous studies (clinical and non-clinical) hypothesize that treatment with deferasirox causes a hematological improvement in transfused patients with low and intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess the presence of genetic biomarkers predictive for hematologic response by the use of gene expression profiling of bone marrow aspirates obtained from MDS patients with or without hematological response.
Chart review study to collect patient data from medical charts of patients who have been treated with Korlym® for the treatment of ACTH independent adrenal Cushing's Syndrome.
A French University team (M. Jeanne, MD, and M. LOGIER, Ph D) have developed a pain assessment tool based on the analysis of the variability heart rate which evaluates the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI). This index is intended to give a quantification of pain. The aim of the present study is to assess the validity of the ANI parameter in patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome treated with a nerve block (reversible pain).
This is a retrospective study designed to gather outcomes data from existing medical charts from patients who have taken EnteraGam for management of their IBS-D for at least eight weeks. Data from two study periods will be collected: (1) the time during which the Standard of Care (SOC) therapy (i.e., prescribed or over-the-counter as well as FDA-approved or non-approved agents) that is used immediately prior to prescribing EnteraGam; and (2) the time during which EnteraGam is used as therapy.
Until now it has not been investigated whether placement of implants in SS patients is less successful than compared to non-SS patients. The risk factors and the efficacy of dental implants in dry mouth patients are not known because of the lack of scientific evidence. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in marginal peri-implant bone loss and the clinical performance of dental implants in SS patients compared to implants in healthy patients.
This is a phase II trial using a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/ fludarabine/total body irradiation (TBI) preparative regimen followed by a related or unrelated donor stem cell infusion. The primary objective is to evaluate rates of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grades II-IV and chronic GVHD with an updated GVHD prophylaxis of tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) with a non-myeloablative preparative regimen in persons with hematologic malignancies.
