Filter by:This registry will study the use of the Aurora® Surgiscope to provide surgical access and visualization in minimally invasive removal of hematoma in the brain. Many methods of hematoma removal are available and will be based on surgeon preference. The impact of patient selection and time to surgery from last known well time will be explored.
The investigators retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of the patients with spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage and mechanical valves from 2015 to 2020 in the second affiliated hospital of Zhejiang university medical college. Medical documents and patient data were reviewed, including patient age, gender, type of mechanical heart valve, replacement time, replacement site, underlying disease, anticoagulant drugs at admission, type of cerebral hemorrhage, treatment mode, time without anticoagulant, length of stay, mortality, etc
A randomized controlled trial of ultra-early, minimally invasive, hematoma evacuation versus standard care within 8 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients presenting to the emergency department with stroke due to supratentorial, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage >20mL volume will be assessed to determine their eligibility for randomization into the trial. If the patient gives informed consent they will be randomized 50:50 using central computerized allocation to minimally invasive hematoma evacuation using the Aurora surgiscope and evacuator (Integra Lifesciences) versus standard medical therapy. The trial is prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) design with seamless phase 2b-3 transition if the intermediate endpoint (successful hematoma evacuation) is met in analysis of the first 52 patients. Adaptive sample size re-estimation (Mehta and Pocock) will be performed when 160 patients have completed 6 month follow-up (minimum sample size 240, maximum sample size 434).
We are attempting to improve the cerebral monitoring of extremely low gestational age (ELGA) infants, such that in the future, real-time monitoring will be possible, to aid clinicians in their management of these infants. We wish to establish a new NIRS device, diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), as a safe, noninvasive and informative bedside tool for assessing and monitoring brain health in ELGA infants during the first few days of life. It is hoped that this method will provide detailed information on changes in oxygen consumption and metabolism, and cerebral perfusion. This technique will have wide applicability, but for this research study we wish to focus on the effect of blood flow instabilities, intermittent hypotension and hypoxic episodes, pressure passive CBF periods, and hypoperfusion on the preterm brain during the first days of life, and their relationship with incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). We aim to recruit 100 premature infants to obtain data to: 1. Test the feasibility of NIRS-DCS to monitor cerebral activity, perfusion and oxygen consumption in extremely premature infants during the first week of life. 2. To assess if these baseline values are impacted by intermittent hypoxic episodes. 3. To assess if cerebral blood flow disturbances correlate with incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage. 4. Correlate the NIRS-DCS findings with clinical outcome at hospital discharge.
This is a prospective, open, multicentre trial that will enrol patients with clinical signs of stroke in the acute phase admitted for CT scan. The study assesses the diagnostic capability and safety of Strokefinder MD100.
Background: While the intensive care of patients with life-threatening brain illnesses has advanced tremendously, a large number of therapies are still without proper scientific support. This can be partly explained by the fact that mechanisms of initial brain injury are still not well understood. Why additional neurological injury occurs during a patient's stay in the NeuroCritical Care Unit (NCCU) despite current best, evidence-based clinical practices, is also not well understood. However, over the past decade, better tools have become available to measure and monitor the impact of our clinical care on the rapidly changing physiology and chemistry of the injured brain. Some of these tools are CT, MRI, ultrasound, and catheter-based technology measuring blood flow and metabolism. These tools have enabled earlier detection of injury and complications and newer therapeutic strategies. Purpose: Examine disease pathways common to all brain injuries seen in the University of Maryland's 22-bed NCCU. Life-threatening neurological illnesses cared for in the NCCU include massive stroke, bleeding in and around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage), brain tumors, difficult to control seizures, neurologic infections, nerve and muscle diseases (such as myasthenia gravis or Guillain-Barre Syndrome), and spinal cord disorders among others. Many NCCU patients are comatose or paralyzed and may suffer injuries in other parts of the body as well. This effort will require the creation of a robust clinical database for the capture of data including patient characteristics (age, sex), clinical characteristics, medical treatments, surgical interventions, physiological data (such as vital signs, cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure, cerebral oximetry, etc), laboratory data, and standard-of-care diagnostic studies such as electroencephalography (EEG), ultrasound, CT, MRI, and angiograms. Similar databases exist at other major centers for neurocritical care and have been instrumental to the identification of characteristics both predictive of and associated with outcomes of patients long after their stay in the NCCU. In addition, the samples collected will be included in the University of Maryland Medicine (UMM) Biorepository which is a shared resource to enable biomedical research by University of Maryland faculty.
This study aims to investigates the role of gestational age on the prevalence of coagulation factors and components of the complement system in preterm- (≤32+0 weeks) and term neonates (≥37+0 weeks) and their role for the development of brain hemorrhage.
A recent prospective observational clinical study conducted in an intensive care unit of a third level US university hospital showed that 94% of patients with ES and 50% of those with EC had an ARC for a duration of at least one day during the hospital stay. Although there is currently a great deal of evidence describing ARC in various subgroups of critically ill patients, on the other hand there is little documentation regarding the effect that ARC can have on exposure to renally eliminated drugs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the proportion of plasma under-exposure to hydrophilic antimicrobials in patients with ES or EC and with ARC, in order to verify whether the recommended dosage regimens for these drugs are adequate for reaching the pharmacodynamic targets of therapeutic efficacy.
The aim of the observational multicenter trial encompasses the comparison of estimation of the long-term prognosis (functional and cognitive outcomes, quality of life) after intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages assessed by clinical scores, treating physicians and nurses. The scores and the assessment of the treating physicians and nurses are recorded on admission, at 7 and 14 days after symptom onset.
A randomized, controlled study is conducted. 120 patients with post-stroke shoulder-shoulder syndrome who meet the inclusion criteria are randomized into treatment group and control group, 60 patients in each group. The treatment group is treated with Qingpeng ointment. The goal of this trial is to verify the clinical efficacy of Tibetan medicine Qingpeng ointment in improving post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome, and to investigate its effect on pain level, swelling degree, hand movement function, activity and activities of daily living.
