Filter by:This is a retrospective, multi-center, real-world study. The researchers plan to include 10,000 cases of ischemic stroke patients using butylphthalide and 10,000 cases of ischemic stroke patients using Edaravone. The main purpose is to analyze the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide and establish the drug risk assessment management plan.
This is a prospective, open, single-arm, the real world of clinical trials. The researchers plan to recruit 300 eligible patients. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butylphthalide in the treatment of ischemic stroke, and to establish a population pharmacokinetic model of butylphthalide in elderly patients to explore its blood drug concentration. Correlation with its efficacy and adverse reactions.
The purpose of the present observational study is to remotely reevaluate the cohort of 67 sickle cell patients with transcranial Doppler-detected cerebral vasculopathy included in the national "Sickle Cell Transplant" protocol and whose 1- and 3-year results were published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) in 2019 and in BHJ in 2020.
This is a feasibility study to begin investigating the possibility that early use of near vision glasses will improve vision in infants at risk of Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), leading to further improvement in other areas of development. This active intervention, starting at either 2 or 4 months of age (depending on randomisation), could be more effective than waiting until a problem is detected before giving glasses. As this is a feasibility study, the investigators are looking at a small sample of babies (n=75) to see whether their parents/carers are willing to take part in a 3-arm study comparing two differently timed interventions to a control group, as well as looking at different aspects of the research plan in preparation for a larger final study.
The overall incidence of good outcome for AIS following endovascular treatment is only proximately 50%. Whether NBO was safe and effective to improve acute ischemic stroke prognosis is still unclear. The investigators' hypothesis is thatNBO is a safe and effective strategy to improve longterm outcome in AIS patients undergoing endovascular treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the association between hemoglobin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-Hb) and the occurrence of secondary brain injury in patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH-SBI) during the first 14 days after bleeding.
The investigators propose to infuse healthy autologous mitochondria into cerebral vessels supplying brain tissue experiencing ischemia in patients who undergo standard-of- care endovascular reperfusion therapy.
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may reduce the transmission of and achieve population immunity against the COVID-19 pandemic, which accounted for more than 3.75million deaths worldwide. With World Health Organization's (WHO) effort on ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccination rate may increase in the near future. On the other hand, vaccination hesitancy has emerged as a major hindrance on the global vaccination campaigns in certain areas due to safety concerns, social factors, and public health policies. For instance, a recent survey conducted in Hong Kong showed a low vaccine acceptance rate of 37%. Long-term safety concerns and post-vaccination events relayed by the social media maybe reasons for vaccination hesitancy. Among which, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) after vaccination were one of the most frequently reported post-vaccination events. These reports ranged from ischemic strokes in elderly patients with multiple cardiovascular co-morbidities, to hemorrhage strokes in otherwise "young-and-fit" adults. While many of these events were investigated by the COVID-19 immunization expert committee, an important premise to address the apprehension of CVA after vaccination is the provision of evidence-based information of the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on brain health. In this prospective, longitudinal, observational study, we aim to elucidate the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and cerebrovascular health in healthy citizens in a population-based cohort.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a rare but severe subtype of stroke with high mortality and morbidity. Besides rebleeding, delayed cerebral ischaemia and cerebral vasospasm (CVS) are thought to be major reasons for the poor outcome in survivors of aSAH. Despite advances in the detection and treatment of CVS 20-40% of CVS patients experience cerebral Ischaemia. Experimental animal studies for ischaemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, and SAH showed that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) selectively dilates cerebral arteries and arterioles in hypoperfused brain tissue. The investigators therefore performed this prospective pilot study to evaluate the effects of iNO on cerebral perfusion in patients with refractory vasospasm after aSAH.
In acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion, rescue intracranial stenting has been recently a treatment option to achieve recanalization in patients with the failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Nevertheless, there are few studies supporting this beneficial treatment in two cerebral circulations. We aimed to analyse whether the use of rescue intracranial stenting would improve prognosis of patients at 3 months.
