This study is multicenter (up to 10 sites in India) phase IV Post-Marketing Study. The study is designed to investigate the safety of Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues used according to each site medical practice of vascular embolization. Subjects will be enrolled with the main condition that a procedure of vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues is part of their therapeutic/palliative strategy for their disease. The vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glue will be administered as study procedure. According to the patient need and health status a second vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glue may be considered by the investigator within the next 30 days after the first one. In this case, this procedure will be considered as a second study procedure. The per-procedure safety evaluation will be enabled by appropriate records of safety events during the time frame of the procedure of vascular embolization using Lipiodol® Ultra Fluid in association with surgical glues. Safety evaluation will be completed with safety records within 30 +/-3 days after the embolization procedure. Efficacy evaluation will rely on the level of lesion(s) obliteration after embolization compared to the pre-procedural target level of obliteration. Exploratory descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate safety and efficacy, using both the total population and subsets of subjects with similar clinical conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine effect of combined medication of sufentanil and dexmedetomidine in patient controlled analgesia after neurosurgery.
This is an open-label whole-body PET/CT study for investigation of radiation dosimetry, plasma pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, safety and diagnostic performance of 68Ga-NEB in healthy volunteers and patients with suspected infection. Changes of routine blood and urine tests and any adverse events will be collected from the volunteers. Adverse events will also be observed in the patients.
The goal of this study is to identify genetic alterations resulting in the development of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the central nervous system.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that scalp nerve blocks ("scalp freezing"), performed at the end of supratentorial brain surgery, will reduce post-operative pain, opioids side effects, and the time required for post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU)/Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and hospital discharge.
Neurocognitive impairment as a result of gamma knife radiosurgery has not been well studied and is poorly understood. Radiosurgery to the base of skull for the treatment of benign and malignant disorders may consequently impair memory function. There is a need to evaluate changes in memory function that may be associated with such exposures. In this pilot study, we will investigate changes in hippocampal-dependent memory function in 10 patients receiving a low SRS dose to the hippocampus. We will also investigate such changes in a no-dose control group and a high-dose control group. This study will provide preliminary estimates of variance in memory changes associated with radiation exposure, and will then permit us to design future studies with the appropriate sample size justification.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Thalidomide is effective in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations in the gastrointestinal tract.
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are abnormally formed blood vessels that can be located throughout the brain and spinal cord. Patients with abnormalities of the blood vessels located in and around the spinal cord can develop many neurological problems. Some problems include, weakness, pain, difficulty walking, paralysis, and even death. The treatment for these AVMs depends on their location, the type of malformation, the area of the spine involved, and the condition of the patient at the time of treatment. The treatment is aimed at stopping the neurologic problems from worsening and possibly correcting the existing problems. There are two commonly used treatments for AVMs, surgery and embolization (blocking off of blood flow to the AVM). However, researchers have limited experience treating these conditions because they are rare. In addition, it has been difficult to classify different kinds of AVMs and to develop new treatments for them. This study is designed to increase researchers understanding of AVMs by admitting and following patients diagnosed with the condition. By increasing the amount of patients studied diagnosed with spinal blood vessel abnormalities, researchers can begin to develop new management plans for patients with AVMs.
