Filter by:SAR-Cov-2 infection and its clinical manifestation known as COVID-19 beside the respiratory and lung involvement may include the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the liver. In the acute phase of the disease, all of these conditions may be life-threatened. As a result, after the acute phase of COVID-19, early complications may be observed, including heart, lungs, brain, muscles and liver. A few papers to date have been reported of myocarditis, ventricular arrhythmias, post-inflammatory changes in the lung and liver, as well as ischemic changes in the brain, diseases of skeletal muscle, which may have adverse prognostic effects. Due to the extent of the pandemic, the severity of the complications and the expected high complications' prevalence in the early post-recovery period, a study was designed to determine the extent of the problem of early complications after COVID-19. Complex cardiological, pulmonary, neurological and hepatological diagnostics are planned, including laboratory, imaging and functional tests. The results obtained, in addition to determining the scale of the problem, will allow the selection of studies that optimally identify patients with early complications. The purpose of this procedure is to enable rapid treatment of diseases that are complications of SARS-COV-2 infection. An additional aspect raised in the project will be the issue of psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, post traumatic disorders). The main three purposes of the study include: 1. the assessment of prevalence of particular complications after COVID-19. 2. identification of the demographic and clinical risk factors of COVID-19 complications 3. determining the diagnostic tests which are sufficient to detect early complications of COVID-19
This study evaluates the role of advanced US technology in assessing renal transplants as screening tools such as 3D Ultrasound, Ultrasound SWE, and MFI besides current ultrasound conventional metheds.
A total of 80 patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups, group A and placebo group using concealed envelope method.Group A patients (n= 40)will receive single dose intravenous infusions of iron isomaltoside 1000 mg over 15 min with a maximum single dose of 20 mg/kg. Patients in the placebo group (n=40) will receive as a single-dose of saline (Natriumklorid 9 mg/ml; Fresenius Kabi, Copenhagen, Denmark) 100 ml infused over 15 min.
This is a multi-center prospective study designed to collect blood samples from transplant patients in order to improve Natera's method for determining allograft rejection status using the donor-derived cell-free DNA analysis, called Prospera.
To compare virtual planning accuracy of computer-assisted template-based implant placement using CAD/CAM stereolithographic surgical templates with or without metallic sleeves.Furthermore to compare open versus closed holes in case of sleeveless templates. Any partially edentulous patients requiring at least one implant to be planed according to a computer-assisted template-based protocol were enrolled. Patients were randomised according to a parallel group design into two arms: surgical template with or without metallic sleeves. Three deviation parameters (angular, horizontal, vertical) were defined to evaluate the discrepancy between the planned and placed implant positions.
Aim: To define benchmark outcomes in minimally-invasive primary bariatric surgery. Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study. Assessed outcomes: Morbidity as defined by the Clavien-Dindo classification for surgical complications, the Comprehensive Complication Index® (CCI®) at discharge, at 3 months and at latest follow-up. Evolution of body mass index (BMI) will be also analyzed. Hospital eligibility: High volume centers (> 200 bariatric operations per year) from at least three continents, maintaining a prospective database, as well as having published previously critically on their outcome. Study population: Adult patients who underwent primary minimally invasive (laparoscopic / robotic) Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy from 1st of June 2012 to 31st of May 2017. Patient Exclusion criteria: detailed later. Data collection Deadline: 1st September 2017 - 30 April 2018
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), produced mainly in enteroendocrine cells, participates in energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism by regulating islet hormone secretion, gastrointestinal motility, and food intake, making GLP-1 agonist a treatment for diabetes and obesity. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that GLP-1 also has cardio-protection effects. GLP-1 agonists is able to improve markers of cardiac function, reduce myocardial infarct size and post-myocardial infarction remodeling in experimental myocardial infarction. And GLP-1 infusion improved left ventricular function and increases myocardial salvage in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The investigators' previous study found that GLP-1 analogues attenuated ischemia-reperfusion induced apoptosis of stem- and myocardial microvascular endothelial cells, and liraglutide (a GLP-1 analog) usage during hospital stay can prevent no-reflow and improve heart function in AMI. Therefore, the investigators carried out a cohort study to evaluate the association between plasma GLP-1 and in-hospital complications in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Aim The aim of this study is to determine consequences at school age of the diagnosis of NEC in the neonatal period. Methods This is a case-control study, with case-group being children born in Denmark with a history of NEC and control-group being age-, gestational age- and year of birth matched children born in Denmark with no history of NEC. Primary outcome Abnormal or borderline 'total difficulties score' in the strenghts-and-difficulties-questionnaire as assessed by parents.
The purpose of this pilot study is to compare parent and infant outcomes and unit outcomes pre and post a planned unit-wide intervention aimed at increasing parent presence in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The FCC intervention will consist of communicating an expectation that all NICU parents be present at minimum 4 hours/day versus the current practice of telling families to "come as much as they can" that has resulted in inconsistent parent presence.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and complication of the treatment of pelvic external combined with 252-Cf neutron intracavitary radiotherapy with or without platinum in local advanced cervical cancer patients in the short and long term.
