Filter by:The aim of this observational study is to learn about long term effects to post surgical hypoparathyroidism. The main questions are: 1. Patients with hypoparathyroidism do not have an increased arterial stiffness compared to healthy controls. 2. Patients with hypoparathyroidism do not have an increased coronary artery plaque burden assessed by cardiac CT compared to healthy controls. 3. Patients with hypoparathyroidism do not have an increased prevalence of vertebral fractures compared to healthy controls. Results will be compared with gender and age matched controls from the general population. Participants will have a CT scan, DXA scan, tonometry, blood samples and questionaries performed and collect a 24-hour urine sample.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about postoperative mortality and postoperative length of stay outcomes after abdominal laparoscopic major surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: Does general anesthesia lower complications compared to loco-regional anesthesia (keeping the patient spontaneously breathing and sedated) in laparoscopic abdominal major surgery? Participants are followed for neurological sequelae for 90 days following surgery
To assess the efficacy and side-effects of re-infusion of unwashed shed blood during off-pump coronary artery surgery using a novel cardiotomy circuit.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test alpha lipoic acid in children undergoing hemodialysis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will the use of alpha lipoic acid lower cardiovascular events in that population? - Is the incidence of those cardiovascular events linked to the oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in that population? - Will the drug cause side effects? Participants will: - take either one dose daily of 600mg tablet Alpha lipoic acid orally or a look-alike tablet containing no drug. - be monitored for the occurrence of cardiovascular events (stroke, angina, etc.) - be monitored for the occurrence of side effects - give blood samples for testing serum levels of E-selectin biomarker and superoxide dismutase enzyme - undergo clinical examinations (Echocardiogram, Duplex ultrasonography, Intima-Media-Thickness) Researchers will compare between the group taking alpha lipoic acid and the group taking the look-alike tablet.
Perioperative myocardial injury/infarction (PMI) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients at increased cardiovascular risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, research in recent years has yielded limited preventive and therapeutic measures for PMI/MACE. Recent studies in patients with chronic and acute coronary artery disease have shown that colchicine administration can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. These encouraging results in non-surgical patients ask for a similar investigation in patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the effects of perioperative colchicine administration on the incidence of PMI/MACE.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating health condition associated with permanent disability and reduced life expectancy. It is stated that its annual incidence worldwide varies between 12.1 and 57.8 per million, and its prevalence varies between 236 and 1009 per million. SCI negatively affects the physical, psychological, and social well-being of individuals by causing sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction. The level of disability associated with SCI is different for each injury and varies depending on the level and type of injury. However, physical activity (PA), cardiovascular fitness, and respiratory system are commonly observed to be affected in most individuals with SCI. Due to inadequate control of somatic and autonomic systems, a decrease in the cardiovascular response to PA and exercise occurs. A decrease in PA level and systemic disorders after injury promote sedentary behavior and negatively affect cardiovascular fitness in individuals with SCI. Cervical and thoracic spinal cord injuries compromise the function of the respiratory muscles and significantly impair both inspiratory and expiratory function. It also interrupts the sympathetic innervation of the lungs and creates restrictive changes in the physiological and mechanical properties of the lungs. The broad effects of SCI on lung capacity may have implications for cardiovascular fitness. Adequate ventilation is critical to provide adequate oxygen to working muscles during prolonged physical activities. During moderate and high-intensity physical activities, ventilation increases in proportion to oxygen consumption to maintain arterial oxygen concentration and allow continuous PA. Knowing the relationship between PA, cardiovascular fitness, and respiratory parameters after SCI is essential in guiding the course of rehabilitation after SCI. Battikha et al. They reported that respiratory capacity plays an important role in limiting exercise capacity in individuals with SCI. However, the relationship between PA and cardiovascular fitness and respiratory parameters has not been fully examined in individuals with SCI. In this study, the investigators hypothesize the relationship between PA, cardiovascular fitness and respiratory parameters. Accordingly, this study aims to determine the relationship between PA, cardiovascular fitness and respiratory parameters in individuals with SCI.
In patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia, the clinical utility of non-invasive hemodynamic status monitoring equipment using HemoVista is compared with invasive hemodynamic status monitoring equipment FloTrac.
All patients with orthotopic liver transplantation who are evaluated and followed at each participating centers will be recorded in this study. Within this register a characterization of patients and therapy will be done. Prognostic factors of defined clinical relevant endpoints will be evaluated.
