The aim of this study is the early (presymptomatic) detection of pregnancy complications, which could contribute to a preventive treatment.
Getting a rough indicator about the prevalence of different grade of severity of NAFLD (NASH & liver fibrosis), and Correlate the severity of fatty liver with different serological risk factors of metabolic syndrome and diseases progression as well as the prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma related to NAFLD with the use of ; nutritional assessment designed and conducted by the investigators in this research, simple blood test (lipid profile and blood sugar), and easy cheap non-invasive radiological tool as screening to predict NASH.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DAC combined with HAAG regimen in the induction treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients older than 60 years.
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is a congenital heart defect with four major features including right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. About 25 children are born with this condition in Denmark every year. Corrective surgery is usually performed within the first year. In 50 % of patients, enlargement with a patch is necessary to achieve relief of the outflow tract obstruction. This however results in severe pulmonary regurgitation, which eventually leads to volume overload, right ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmia. To avoid these late complications, pulmonary valve replacement with a prosthesis if performed when patients meet the current guideline criteria. Most patients meet the guideline criteria for revalving when they are between 20 and 30 years of age. The current guidelines however, are based solely on retrospective studies and novel research reveals that in more than 50 % of patients who are treated according to current practice, right ventricular volumes and function as well as exercise capacity and burden of arrhythmia do not normalize or improve. 500 patients with ToF will be enrolled in a multicentre, cross-sectional study, which will yield information about the long-term outcomes after initial repair of ToF, as well as suggestions about the optimal timing for re-valving. Among patients included in the cross-sectional study, 120 patients with free pulmonary regurgitation, will be randomized evenly for early or later re-valving with at least 10-years of follow-up, for evaluation of long-term efficacy and safety of early re-valving.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DAC combined with HAAG regimen in the induction treatment of newly diagnosed AML patients younger than 60 years.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of standard usual care combined with daily supervised physical training during hospitalization with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) compared to standard usual care alnone.
Ultrasonography of Rectus Femoris and Anterior Tibialis muscles for nutritional assesment in cirrhotic patients undergoing major abdominal surgery
Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) is an important event in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Compound sodium chlolate and aminophylline tablets are one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of bronchial asthma and chronic bronchitis.
Percutaneous (through the skin) radiologic (x-ray guided) gastrostomy (to the stomach) (PRG) is a common procedure performed to help provide supplemental nutrition for those for who have difficulty swallowing their food. This population typically includes patients receiving radiation therapy for cancers of the mouth or throat, patients who have had a stroke or other neurologic disorders. It involves making a small incision in the skin on the belly to insert a feeding tube directly into the stomach. PRG has been well established as a safe and effective procedure for many years now. Although known to be safe, there is still debate regarding the best way to perform the procedure. Some doctors believe it is necessary to stitch the stomach wall against the wall of the belly before inserting the tube, this is called gastropexy. They argue that this decreases the risk of the tube being positioned incorrectly and prevents leakage of stomach content in the first few weeks after the procedure. Other doctors feel that these risks are very small and this step is not required as it can cause the patient more pain in the days following the procedure since the stomach is fixed against the body wall and cannot move naturally. To this day, the procedure is performed safely both ways, depending on the hospital. The purpose of this research study is to compare these two methods and determine if one technique gives better results, meaning less pain and fewer complications for patients.
The decision to give fluids perioperatively could be based on methods used to identify preload responsiveness, either invasive or noninvasive estimates of stroke volume variation during mechanical ventilation. This study compares fluid management using invasive measurement SPV/PPV (Aisys GE) and noninvasive haemodynamic measurement (ClarSight, Edwards).
