Filter by: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.
The aim of the study is to determine Red blood cell distribution width to platelet count ratio as a predictor of cardiovascular complications in CKD patients
This is a registry-based study of elective vascular surgical patients undergoing intermediate or high-risk vascular surgical interventions at Groote Schuur hospital, a tertiary academic center, over a 12 month period.
