Filter by:Hospitalizations are harmful to patients. Without a proper intervention, it will lead to a permanent decline in physical function, especially among frail individuals. Ultimately, this will worsen quality of life, as well as the cognitive and functional status of affected elderly people, which will arguably reduce functional independence, increase post-discharge institutionalization and death among frail older adults. It is known that patients receiving early physical evaluation and rehabilitation (in the 24 hours following admission) improves post-discharge orientation, decreases delirium and the need of acute care. The rehabilitation often involves ergocycles, but commercially available devices are expensive and often hard to move, to set up in hospital bed and lack connectivity. In this context, a connected ergocycle prototype which has a number of desired characteristics, including low production cost, relatively light and easy to move and with internet connectivity. The goal of this study is thereby to assess the usefulness and acceptability of the prototype with health professionals involved in physical rehabilitation and patients receiving said rehabilitation.
To compare the Alio device to blood draws.
This is an Open-label, Prospective, Multicenter Study to Assess the SAfety of Regional Citrate Anticoagulation Delivered by the multiFiltratePRO system in Adult Patients Requiring Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (SARCA Study).
The study objective is to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and surrogate measures of efficacy for canagliflozin in patients with advanced CKD, including those receiving HD. As the CV and renoprotective effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors appear to be independent of glycemic control, the investigators hypothesize that canagliflozin will reduce albuminuria in patients with advanced CKD in the same manner as observed in patients with higher eGFR. The investigators also hypothesize that the 300 mg dose will be equally safe as the 100 mg dose but will have greater efficacy, given data which suggests efficacy correlates with drug exposure in patients without CKD. Given its negligible renal elimination, the investigators hypothesize that exposure to canagliflozin 100 mg at steady state will not exceed the standard bioequivalence boundary of 80-125% in patients receiving HD, compared with published estimates with the 300 mg dose at steady state in individuals with preserved kidney function.
This study aims to determine if the CloudCath device can detect infections related to peritoneal dialysis (peritonitis) as fast or faster than the current standard methods used by patients and doctors to detect such infections.
Retrospective analysis of performance and treatment data collected for Genius SleddFlux Filter, Ultraflux AV 600 S Filter & Genius 90 Concentrates in acute haemodialysis, haemodynamically instable patients and chronic haemodialysis patients - to analyse performance and treatment data from patients treated with the investigational device - to evaluate the filter characteristics for aHD (Acute haemodialysis) patients - to evaluate the improvement of kidney function for aHD patients
For this current phase of the larger project, the investigators will survey transplant candidates as well as the participants family and friends to understand the barriers to volunteering and evaluation. This project will examine how network characteristics are associated with eventual living donor kidney transplant outcomes and test the efficacy of evidence-based interventions designed to assist kidney transplant candidates in participant donor search on a multi-center scale.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), published Final Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act Safeguards and Research Criteria for Transplantation of Organs Infected With HIV. All such transplants must occur under an institutional review board (IRB) approved research protocol that is compliant with federal regulations governing human subjects research. This is an investigator-initiated, observational prospective study of solid organ transplantation utilizing HIV-positive donors in HIV positive recipients. Stable HIV-infected adults in need of a solid organ transplant (kidney) who meet standard and study specified HIV criteria for organ transplantation will be offered enrollment in the study. Deceased donors (kidney) and living donors (kidney) will be utilized in this protocol. The goal of this research is to increase knowledge about the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of solid organ transplantation (SOT) utilizing HIV-positive donors in HIV-positive recipients.
This multicenter, single-arm retrospective registry (chart review) is being conducted to confirm the clinical performance and safety of GORE-TEX® Vascular Grafts and GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft throughout the device functional lifetime for each indication area.
This study was a randomized controlled trial to investigate the immune response of influenza vaccines when doses were increased. and a second vaccination together with an increase in the amount of vaccine in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis
