Filter by:The involvement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in advanced abdominal tumors is a surgical challenge, given the high postoperative morbidity and poor long-term prognosis. The goal was to analyze the experience, perioperative management, and results. Investigators have evaluated short and long-term results of surgical resections of tumors with associated inferior vena cava resection performed between 2012 and 2018.
Heparin-Binding protein is a protein from primary and secretory granluae of white blood cells. It is released when white blood cells become activated and has been advocated as a biomarker for sepsis. The aim of this study is to find out if Heparins in clinical doses can change the level of Heparin-binding protein in plasma.
The Norwegian health authorities has initiated a three-year trial of telehealth solutions as part of the treatment of patients with chronic illness in the period 2018-2021. Within the trial, telehealth indicates that patients are followed-up outside health-care facilities using information and communication technologies (ICTs). Patients who are followed up using telehealth solutions can answer questions about their own health and/or perform measurements related to their health (e.g. blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen measurement, weight) via a tablet according to a personalized schedule. The measurement values are transferred from the measuring devices to a tablet so that the users can easily see them and track their results over time. The results are also transmitted digitally to a follow-up service, a healthcare center with nurses, who contacts the patient when needed. The follow-up service provides medical support and guidance based on the patient's needs and planned follow-up, and will, in consultation with the user, evaluate whether the user should contact the general practitioner (GP) or emergency room. The study population of the trial includes users with comprehensive medical needs, with medium to high risk of worsening of their condition, hospitalization or increased need for health and care services. The evaluation includes three main parts: 1) An effect evaluation which is designed as a randomized control trial, 2) a cost-benefit analysis, and 3) a process evaluation which aims to provide recommendations for how to organize and implement telemedicine in clinical practice. The primary outcomes include physical and mental health state, patient experience and use of health services. The effect evaluation is designed as a pragmatic open label multi-center randomized control trial, with two parallel arms with 300 patients in each arm. Patients are recruited between February 2019 and June 2020.
This project aims: i) to identify Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) trajectories after heat transplantation using latent class mixed modeling, ii) to characterize the global and specific determinants of different trajectories and iii) to provide an easily accessible tool to project individual probability of CAV trajectory belonging.
Aim and background: This study will seek to identify physiological and biochemical factors explaining and predicting a higher than expected central (aortic) blood pressure (BP) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The basic hypothesis of the study is that the degree of aortic calcification is an important component of elevated central BP, which, in turn, is important for the organ-damage and increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with CKD. Methods: Adult patients with varying degrees of CKD undergoing scheduled coronary angiography (CAG) at Aarhus University Hospital will be included in this study. During the CAG procedure, systolic and diastolic BP is determined in the ascending part of aorta by a calibrated pressure transducer connected to the fluid-filled CAG catheter. Simultaneous with the registration of invasive aortic BP, estimation of central BP is performed using radial artery tonometry (SphygmoCor®), while a corresponding brachial BP is also measured. Prior to the CAG, a non-contrast CT scan of aorta in its entirety will be performed to enable blinded quantification of calcification in the wall of aorta and coronary arteries. Furthermore, echocardiography, resting BP measurement and a range of blood- and urine samples will be performed.
The VQI-DELTA Paclitaxel Device Safety Analysis seeks to assess the comparative safety of paclitaxel coated balloons and stents in the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) through analysis of the VQI Peripheral Vascular Intervention (PVI) registry module using the DELTA system.
This study will evaluate patients with diagnosis of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in pachychoroid treated with combined therapy, consisting in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and 3 intravitreal therapy (IVT) of Aflibercept monthly. This is a single center, prospective case-series study. The investigators are going to evaluate Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA), disease activity, retinal and choroidal thicknesses and number of injection per year, during a twelve month follow up. The aim of this study is to verify if the combined therapy can act on the insult induced by the pachychoroid and on the neovascular lesion itself in this sub-population of patients with PCV in pachychoroid,
The FEOR registry is undertaken to examine the real-world data of patients that were treated with the E-vita OPEN Plus Stent Graft System under routine care in France. This registry is a requirement of the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS).
This study will focus on determining; - How accurate the test is in detecting poor circulation - How it's accuracy compares to other commonly used tests, and - Whether test results are linked to the chance of ulcer healing or amputation. Across 2 hospitals, 305 diabetic patients will be scanned using the focused ultrasound test as well as other commonly used tests to detect poor circulation. Their results will be compared to a full version of the ultrasound test to identify the most accurate.
A randomized, controlled trial to evaluate patient compliance and biologic mechanisms of a short-term pre-operative Protein-Calorie Restriction (PCR) diet in comparison to a normal ad libitum diet for 4 days before elective vascular surgery involving a major operation. This study is a step in the long-term primary scientific objective to test the hypothesis that brief up regulation of endogenous H2S via pre-operative PCR in elective major surgery improves clinical outcomes in humans. After a successful pilot study of the PCR diet conducted inpatient before carotid endarterectomy, the investigators now aim to expand the study to at home diet among a variety of vascular surgery procedures.
