Filter by:This project aims to evaluate a rehabilitation program as treatment and uncover potential pathophysiological mechanisms of a newly identified chronic condition named "Post Pulmonary Embolism Syndrome" (PPS).
FEVRIER study is an observatory of hospitalizations in cardiology units in sub-Saharan Africa.
This randomized phase III trial studies the best dose of apixaban and how well it works in preventing secondary cancer related venous thrombosis in cancer patients who have completed anticoagulation therapy. Apixaban may help in prevention by blocking some of the enzymes needed for venous thrombosis.
This study is designed to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single intravenous dose of TS23 in healthy adults.
Objectives of the study are: To estimate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a cohort of women with suspected ovarian cancer and evaluate changes in the coagulation system in case of benign or malignant disease. The impact of changes in the coagulation system on disease prognosis will be evaluated.
The goal of this project is to determine if the change in oxygen saturation during deep inspiration ("augmented pulse oximetry") can be used as a method to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE). The investigators propose to evaluate a simple, non-invasive clinical tool to help rule out PE. The investigators plan to measure the oxygen saturation of 40 consecutive patients with newly-diagnosed PE (within 60 minutes of diagnosis) and 80 matched controls who do not have a PE. Trained, blinded Respiratory Therapists or Study Coordinators will record each patient's oxygen saturation before, during, and after a 2-minute period of deep inspirations (vital capacity [the maximal amount of air that can be inhaled, measured in milliliters]) using an incentive spirometer. The investigators' central hypothesis is that persons with a PE will not respond to augmented pulse oximetry and will not significantly improve or normalize their oxygen saturation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term impact of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) on heart and lung function, quality of life, ability to work, symptoms of breathlessness and functional status of patients one year after their initial diagnosis and treatment for PE
To determine whether aspirin is more effective than placebo for the prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism when given for at least two years after the initial 6-12 month of oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism
The best management in selected patients of pulmonary Embolism (PE) should be at home. The efficacy and safety treatment´s at home versus at hospital should be similar and quality of life should be better. Our purpose is to demostrate that Low weight molecular heparin (LWMH) at home for PE is at least as effective and safe at home as at hospital
The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments strategies to prevent further attacks in patients who have suffered an stroke or occlusion of a major artery with no obvious reason other than a persistent small opening between the upper heart chambers
