Filter by:Because of its high incidence, it is essential to determine the neurological prognosis after cardiac arrest. However, there is not much information to guide post-cardiac arrest care. Also, dynamic monitoring of the state of the brain can help provide information about the patient's prognosis other than previously described serum biomarkers. Therefore, the researchers will monitor postcardiac arrest patients in the intensive care unit for 48 hours by electroencephalogram and cerebral oximetry and collect blood samples for serum biomarkers: neuron-specific enolase (NSE), human neurogranin (NRGN) and human trigger receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-2), which are associated with neuronal damage. And investigate the relation of these data to mortality.
This is a phase Ib, open-label, dose-validating and safety study of caffeine in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.
IRIS-sICAS is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trialis a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, to assess the safety and efficacy of tocilizumab injection in lowering the incidence of newly diagnosis ischemic stroke and improving prognosis in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis patients.
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is accepted worldwide as a standard of care for infants born at or beyond 36 weeks gestational age with moderate-to-severe hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). While central nervous system is the most affected organ system , multiorgan dysfunction including renal, pulmonary, cardiac, and/or gastrointestinal (GI) compromise is not infrequent. Although the process of 'cooling' itself is well defined, based on high-quality randomized controlled trials, there are few data to inform the provision of nutrition to infants with HIE during and soon after TH.However, breastfeeding plays a beneficial role in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of the gut. It may help to reduce systemic inflammatory response and positively regulates the microbiota. In many studies it is stated that enteral feeding during TH appears to be safe and feasible. There is insufficient evidence to choose the type of enteral feeding either bolus or continuous during TH. The present study aimed to compare the impact of different types of enteral feeding in infants with HIE receiving TH.
Infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are at high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment, despite current standards of care. Adjunctive treatments to promote brain repair are needed. The antidiabetic drug metformin has recently been recognized as a neurorestorative agent, but, to date, has not been used in infants. Herein, the investigator describes a clinical trial with the aim of demonstrating the safety and feasibility of metformin use to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with HIE.
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), short bowel syndrome (SBS) are refractory in clinical treatment. Thus, how to better prevent such diseases is currently a key research topic in the international field. The use of cord blood-derived mononuclear cells may promote to save lives and improve patient outcomes.
This research is studying how a food product (resistant potato starch) which is a dietary supplement made from potato starch affects the gut bacteria of people with cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy. The researchers in this study want to understand how potato starch works in the subject's body and how the body will react to it. Along with taking the study product participants health-related information and stool will be collected for this research study.
CAIS-MT is a single-center, prospective cohort study, to evaluate the correlation between outcomes of endovascular treatment(EVT) and intracranial artery calcification(IAC) in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large or medium vessel occlusion.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate feasibility and safety of an oral therapy with zinc in patients affected by Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(o) subunit alpha (GNAO1) associated disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is a daily oral therapy with zinc in GNAO1 associated disorders a safe and feasible therapy? - Are there potential changes in general motor skills, general behaviour and well being, day/night rhythm, level of dyskinesia and dystonia, frequency of seizures, quality of life and changes in the microbiome of the patients. Participants with GNAO1 associated disorders will be given an oral zinc therapy for 6 month and will be assessed in 3 visits and 2 phone calls within this trial.
PRIZM is a Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-treatment, 2-period, crossover study evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral zagociguat 15 and 30 mg vs. placebo when administered daily for 12 weeks in participants with genetically and phenotypically defined MELAS.
