Filter by:A collection of biological samples (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] and blood) from patients under 6 years of age who are diagnosed with intraventricular hemorrhage or spina bifida.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in neonatal outcomes with delayed umbilical cord clamping at 30 versus 60 seconds. Our primary outcome will be intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (bleeding in the brain) in these infants.
Intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding into the brain and is a major cause of stroke and other complications. Brain injury from intracerebral hemorrhage occurs in two phases. The early phase involves the mechanical compression of brain tissue by the expanding hematoma. In a later phase, brain swelling develops causing further compression that may lead to brain herniation and death. This study investigates the neuroprotective role of haptoglobin, in minimizing the development of brain swelling following intracerebral hemorrhage.
The purpose of this study is to determine if cooling the neck of patients with ICH decreases brain temperature. In addition, the investigators will determine if the device improves the delivery of oxygen to the brain. A third goal is to determine if cooling the neck lowers intracranial pressure (which is often times high in patients after ICH).
This is an open, pilot, dose-escalation study of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN, Nitroglycerin) administered by paramedics in the field within 2 hours of symptom onset to 45 severely hypertensive stroke patients. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and physiologic efficacy of field-initiated glyceryl trinitrate in achieving modest reduction of blood pressure. Patients with acute stroke will be identified in the field by paramedics who have received training in basic and advanced cardiac life support, stroke recognition, and specific procedures relevant to the proposed study. Physician-investigators will obtain informed consent for each subject for study entry after cellular phone contact with paramedics. Paramedics will initiate antihypertensive treatment by applying transdermal GTN patch in the first two dose-tiers, and administering a single sublingual GTN metered spray followed by application of the transdermal system in the last dose tier. The sites involved in the study will be emergency medical services rescue ambulances and 8 receiving Stroke Center hospitals in Orange County, California, USA.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial that will be carried out in Mexico. The purpose of this study is to test whether a 3-month treatment with fluoxetine enhances motor recovery in non-depressed patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with deferoxamine mesylate is of sufficient promise to improve outcome before pursuing a larger clinical trial to examine its effectiveness as a treatment for brain hemorrhage.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants is one of many devastating consequences of prematurity that have both acute and long-term sequelae. Turning a preterm infant's head to one side may increase intracranial pressure and occlude major ipsilateral veins in the neck, which could increase cerebral venous pressure and decrease cerebral venous drainage. Keeping preterm infants' heads in a slightly elevated midline position (side or supine) during the first 168 hours(HOL) has been recommended as one of the 10 potentially better practices to reduce the incidence of IVH in preterm infants. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no systematically collected clinical data quantifying the relationship between IVH and head position in preterm infants. However, the midline head position may challenge the well-known right neonatal head position preference. This preference continues until 3-6 months of age, after which preterm neonates keep their heads mainly in midline. The best head position for preterm neonates is still to be determined. Therefore, the investigators are aiming to conduct a large scale multicenter randomized control trial on order to answer the following research question: Does keeping heads of preterm infants less than 30 weeks of gestation in flat midline (FM) throughout the first 168 HOL reduce the risk of IVH compared to right flat lateral (rFL)? We hypothesized that keeping heads of preterm infants less than 30 weeks of gestation in FM throughout the first 168 HOL would reduce the risk of IVH compared to rFL.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety of GLP-1 CellBeads® in patients with space-occupying intracerebral hemorrhage.
The specific aims of this study are to: 1. Definitively determine the therapeutic benefit of the intensive treatment relative to the standard treatment in the proportion of patients with death and disability (mRS 4-6) at 3 months among subjects with ICH who are treated within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. 2. Evaluate the therapeutic benefit of the intensive treatment relative to the standard treatment in the subjects' quality of life as measured by EuroQol at 3 months. 3. Evaluate the therapeutic benefit of the intensive treatment relative to the standard treatment in the proportion of hematoma expansion (defined as increase from baseline hematoma volume of > 33%) and in the change from baseline peri-hematoma volume at 24 hours on the serial computed tomographic (CT) scans. 4. Assess the safety of the intensive treatment relative to the standard treatment in the proportion of subjects with treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) within 72 hours.
