Filter by:This study will measure plasma concentrations of piperacillin-tazobactam and cefazolin in pediatric patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) aiming to better understand the pharmacokinetics of these medications in this in vivo setting.
Background: Sacubitril/valsartan, has been found to be more beneficial than enalapril for reducing the incidences of sudden cardiac death, death from worsening heart failure (HF), and hospitalization. However, there is no prospective echocardiographic data describing the effects of sacubitril/valsartan on the heart functions and left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of sacubitril/valsartan on the LV functions using two dimensional (2D), three dimensional (3D) echocardiography and the 3D strain parameters. Methods: In 100 patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HRrEF) who have indications for the use of sacubitril/valsartan as recommended by recent guidelines were prospectively enrolled. The basal 2D and 3D echocardiographic parameters were compared to those obtained 3 months after starting the sacubitril/valsartan treatment.
Preclinical research indicates acute opioid administration evokes an immune response in the periphery and brain. Here, we will translate those preclinical findings to healthy human volunteers and quantify the neuroimmune response to a morphine challenge using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with [11C]PBR28.
It is a multi-center, open-label, observational study aimed to understand the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the commonly used sedative, analgesic and antibiotic drugs in adult patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), by measuring the plasma concentrations and the clinical effect of dexmedetomidine, midazolam, butorphanol, remifentanil, sufentanil, propofol, linezolid, tigecycline, teicoplanin, caspofungin, voriconazole and meropenem.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Expanded Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells on patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Any adverse events related to UCMSCs infusion will be monitored.The primary outcome is the improvement rate of PASI(Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) and treatment response will be computed from PASI before and after UCMSCs infusion.
Subcutaneous perfusion is an underused technique, the effectiveness of which has been demonstrated. A number of drugs of different therapeutic classes, including morphine, have a good level of scientific evidence for use by this route. Subcutaneous Acetaminophen injection is being used in some medical centers, mainly in Europe, despite the lack of definite evidence on its efficacy. This study aims to quantify the degree of effectiveness of subcutaneous Acetaminophen infusions for pain or fever in Geriatrics and Palliative Care, as well as determining its safety.
A total of 24 patients suffering from RAU, they were divided into two groups each included 12 patients. The first group was treated by the propolis mucoadhesive film and the second group received the film without the active component (placebo group).Patients were handed a checklist for monitoring the actual improvement of the clinical parameters which included; duration of disappearance of pain after film application (hours), duration of complete healing of the aphthous ulcer (weeks), onset of ulcer size reduction after film application (days), duration of propolis film adherence onto the oral mucosa (hours) and finally the level of patient satisfaction scaled from 1-10.
This study will measure plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, morphine and midazolam in pediatric patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) aiming to understand the pharmacokinetics of these drugs in this setting.
This study will measure plasma concentrations of bivalirudin in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgical procedures utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), or extracorporeal support with ECMO, ventricular support devices (VAD) or lung-assist devices (LAD). The aim is to understand the pharmacokinetics of bivalirudin in these settings.
This study will investigate the effects of salvinorin A on human brain activity and connectivity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods. An inhalation route of administration will be used as it is the most common route for contemporary use of Salvia divinorum, a plant containing salvinorin A.
