Filter by:To determine the safety and efficacy of Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Tissue for the treatment of the following condition categories: Orthopedic, Neurologic, Urologic, Autoimmune, Renal, Cardiac and Pulmonary Conditions. The hypotheses are that the treatments are not only extremely safe, but also statistically beneficial for all conditions. Outcomes will be determined by numerous valid outcome instruments that compile general quality of life information along with condition-specific information as well.
This is an investigator-initiated, one-armed, phase 2 clinical trial using an injectable fluorescent tracer to assay and evaluate measured plasma volume (mPV) and measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) in hospitalized patients with acute decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF).
Subjects will be measured with both a sensor and a reference device
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm study of the Optimizer Smart System with 2-leads
Study will collect data from the home using the CoVa Monitoring System. Data will be captured and retrospectively analysis to determine if the data provided can alert clinician about a patient's declining health.
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm Continued Access study of the Optimizer Smart System with CCM therapy.
To evaluate the use of Incentive Spirometry in Non-critically Ill Hospitalized Patients With Shortness of Breath.
Transition from hospital to home places patients in jeopardy of adverse events and increases their risk for rehospitalization. CHF is the most prevalent chronic condition among U.S. adults and COPD is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Both CHF and COPD represent significant burdens for the VHA healthcare system. Care transitions can be supported through multi-component interventions, but are costly to implement. Virtual nurses provide an effective medium for explaining health concepts to patients, and previous work indicates patients find virtual nurses acceptable. The investigators will implement and evaluate a virtual nurse intervention to provide automated, tailored, and timely support to Veterans transitioning from hospital to home. As effective care transition interventions incorporate both inpatient and outpatient components, the virtual nurse will first engage with patient onscreen during their inpatient stay and then via text message post-discharge. This project has the potential to improve the care transition experience for patients, caregivers and healthcare providers.
The study will evaluate the functionality of IMMAGES , an intravenous infusion device system, in patients hospitalized in Bait Balev hospital. The study will aim to determine how the IMMAGES system integrates within IV infusion therapy regime and what are the advantages and disadvantages, if any, of using this system within the prescribed setting.
This is a non-randomized, non-interventional pilot observational study designed to follow high-risk patients through their surgical and hospital stay. The investigators will collect 2 4ml vial's of blood (total of 8ml) prior to surgery to assess CV biomarkers - inflammatory, metabolic, hypercoagulable and platelet.
