Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether, in patients with first-ever atherothrombotic or lacunar stroke without any previous history of atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial flutter (AFL)/atrial tachycardia (AT), the detection of AF/AFL/AT (silent or symptomatic) by using a continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring with implantable loop recorder (ILR) during the first 12 months of observation is higher than the detection by using a standard cardiac monitoring (physical exam, 12-lead electrocardiogram [ECG] at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months and Holter ECG at 3 months) in the same period of time.
This study aims to determine the effect of therapeutic hypothermia on reducing AKI in term and late-preterm infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy as estimated by measurment of serum(s) neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) and serum (s) cystatin-C.
This study evaluates the outcomes of stroke patients treated for intravascular thrombectomy, using either a local anesthetic with sedation, or a general anesthetic. Historical data will be used for those treated with the local anesthetic, and prospective data will be used for those treated with the general anesthetic.
This study seeks to investigate the capillary index score (CIS) to further improve patient selection of endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The hypothesis or idea being tested: Patients with favorable CIS who are successfully revascularized with EVT can have successful outcomes with an extended time window for treatment.
This study will test the safety and efficacy of an infusion of a baby's own (autologous) umbilical cord blood as compared with placebo in babies born with history and signs of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the normal brain function of premature infants (23 to 31+6 weeks GA) during birth transition and through the first 72 hours of life.
This study will validate the sensitivity of a purine biosensor (SMARTChip) in detecting acute cerebral ischaemia in a group of patients undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy. The study will also investigate whether blood purine levels are indicative of future risk of stroke by comparing pre-operative blood purine levels in carotid endarterectomy patients (high risk group) and blood purine levels in a group of age and sex-matched controls.
This study will try to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new method for achieving mild hypothermia, i.e.,mild hypothermia therapy through rectum. Half of participants will be treated by the widely-used hyper-hypothermia blanket method, while the other half will be treated by the investigators' new method.
The primary objective of the Neuroprotect trial is to assess whether or not a new goal directed hemodynamic optimization strategy can reduce cerebral ischemia in post-cardiac arrest (CA) patients.
The goal of this proposal is to profile the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine in newborns ≥36 weeks post-menstrual age during therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
