Filter by:Background/Rationale for the study: Lithiasis pathology is increasingly common because of the change in our lifestyle and our food. Thus, we hold a prevalence for urinary lithiasis 10% in France currently including 13% of the male population and 6% of the female population. The formation of urinary lithiasis is the result of a complex mechanism involving factors anatomical and infectious metabolics. They are classified according to their size, topography and composition. The treatment of urinary lithiasis has changed dramatically in recent years. The recommendations of the French Urology Association (AFU) for the management of kidney stones and ureteral of the adult of 2004 give a certain place to the treatment by extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECL). The ELC is indicated for the first purpose for lithiasis ureteral or renal lithiasis of less than 20 mm, whether or not associated with the setting up of a JJ stent. For kidney stones of more than 20 mm or complex or Coralliformes, the ECL can be associated with treatment with percutaneous nephrolithotomy. In addition, the ECL is indicated in case of residual cholelithiasis 3 months after a first treatment whatsoever. It is found, as the main complication of the ECL, a risk of the appearance of Hematomas under capsular, peri-renal and intra-parenchymatous. Its prevalence is estimated to be between 6.2% and 13% according to studies. ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID less or equal to 250 mg is the usual dosage of aspirin (for the adult), the Marketing Autorisation recognises in secondary prevention after a first myocardial or cerebral ischemic attack related to atherosclerosis. It entrains a reduction mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular causes. Acetylsalicylic acid is currently being stopped 5 to 7 days before the ECL. The interest of maintaining the Acetylsalicylic acid is: - A simplification of the management of patients under on acetylsalicylic acid below (or equal to) 250 mg (No modification of Treatment to be implemented) - A cardiovascular risk decreased by maintaining their initial treatment without any modification. Main objective: Evaluation of the proportion of renal hematoma during the production of Lithotripsy for renal lithiasis, on a 15-day scan, in patients under on acetylsalicylic acid below (or equal to) 250 mg not stopped Secondary objectives: Evaluation of the efficacy of treatment with lithotripsy (Stone free, fragments Minimal residuals) Evaluation of the proportion of hematuria macroscopic post lithotripsy in Patients under on acethylsalicylic acid not stopped. Evaluate the rate of post-ECL complications requiring treatment, Analgesic, obstructive pyelonephritis. Evaluate post-ECL pain due to hematoma or lithiasis migration Evaluation of the evolution of renal function post session of Lithotripsy on the patients under acethylsalicylic acid not stopped. Type of Study: Interventional study, prospective, mono centric, single-arm
Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common disease after minor head trauma, especially in elderly patients. This medical condition is characterized by blood collection in the subdural space, which can result in severe neurological impairment. Current standard of care is the evacuation of the CSDH by means of different surgical approaches. Although clinical and surgical outcomes are satisfying in most cases, considerable morbidity and mortality as well as recurrence rates of 3-31% are frequently reported. Therefore a non-surgical approach for the treatment of CSDH would be desirable. Tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic drug has been shown to decrease hematoma volume in a small cohort of patients suffering from CSDH. The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that TXA can reduce the volume of CSDH. Volume measurements of residual CSDH after burr-hole surgery will be performed during study course to quantify treatment success. The trial is designed as a randomized controlled pilot study, where half of the patients will be assigned to daily intake of TXA, whereas the other half will receive medical treatment according to current practice without TXA prescription. The primary endpoint of the study is defined as volume change in milliliters (mL) after 4-8 weeks of treatment. Secondary endpoints are hematoma volume change at 8-12 weeks, the rate of patients with resolution of the CSDH after 4-8 weeks and 8-12 weeks days, as well as the rate of reoperation during study course due to hematoma extension and neurological deterioration. Additionally the neurological outcome and the drug compatibility will be estimated as secondary objectives.
The Chongqing intracerebral hemorrhage study is a multi-center, prospective, observational study led by professor Qi Li from Chongqing Medical University. Professor Peng Xie will be the senior consultant for the study. The Chongqing intracerebral hemorrhage study will focus on the epidemiology, natural history, pathogenesis, laboratory, radiological aspects, clinical outcomes and the effects of treatment in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The clinical, laboratory, imaging, genetic and outcome data of patients diagnosed with acute intracerebral hemorrhage will be prospectively collected. The prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage will be assessed by using several outcome measure scales at different time points.
In 2008 Goker et al, introduced Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) as a new hemostatic drug. Recently, ABS has been shown to produce local hemostasis by implementing topically after major arterial vessel injury. Reducing the compression time during patent hemostasis by facilitating hemostasis may decrease RAO. To test this hypothesis the investigators planned a three arm randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ankaferd blood stopper in adjunct to short-time compression, compared to either short-time compression with conventional sterile gauzes or with a TR band after transradial diagnostic procedures.
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a collection of blood and its breakdown products in the subdural compartment. It is a condition frequently seen in any neurosurgical practice. cSDH is believed to arise from tearing of bridging veins as a result of trauma, which may be minor and unapparent to the patient. Management of cSDH is widely varied. A "wait-and-see" or "wait-and-rescan" approach may be acceptable in asymptomatic patients with a relatively small hematoma whilst cSDH with severe neurological deficits or decreased level of consciousness may require surgical decompression by burr-hole craniostomy, twist drill craniostomy or craniotomy. Surgery is associated with serious morbidity and mortality of up to 17% and recurrence rates of 4%-33% requiring further treatment in some instances.The safety and efficacy of different neurosurgical procedures have been evaluated but there is a paucity of well-designed randomized controlled trials in the literature. Consequently, there is no consensus on the best treatment with respect to surgical technique, pre-operative and post-operative management and nonsurgical alternatives including the use of Corticosteroids, Tranexamic acid, Osmotic diuretics, Atorvastatin or Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Corticosteroids may be a therapeutic option in the management of cSDH. There is very little data on the efficacy of corticosteroids in the treatment of cSDH and certainly no randomized trials. The purpose of the study is to prove dexamethasone can be just as efficacious as surgery in treating chronic subdural hematoma. The investigators also hope to show that those patients treated with dexamethasone suffer less complication compared to those who undergo surgery.
BACKGROUND Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most frequent reasons for cranial neurosurgical consult. There is no widely accepted medical treatment for CSDH. This trial will investigate whether Tranexamic Acid (TXA) can increase the rate of CSDH resolution following conservative management, lower the number of required surgical procedures and decrease the rate of CSDH recurrence following surgical evacuation. TRACS is a double blind, randomized, parallel-design, placebo-controlled, phase IIB study designed to provide preliminary efficacy data as well as feasibility, safety and incidence data required to plan a larger definitive phase III trial. METHODS Consecutive patients presenting at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke with a recent (< 14 days) diagnosis of subdural hematoma with a chronic component will be screened for eligibility. Exclusion criteria include specific risk factors for thromboembolic disease, anticoagulant use or contraindication to TXA. A total of 130 patients will be randomized to receive either 750 mg of TXA daily or placebo until complete radiological resolution of the CSDH or for a maximum of 20 weeks. CSDH volume will be measured on serial CT scanning. Cognitive function tests, quality of life questionnaires as well as functional autonomy assessments will be performed at enrollment, 10 weeks follow-up and 3 months post-treatment follow-up. During the treatment period, patients will undergo standard CSDH management with surgery being performed at the discretion of the treating physician. If surgery is performed, the CSDH and its outer membrane will be sampled for in vitro analysis. The primary outcome is the rate of CSDH resolution at 20 weeks without intervening unplanned surgical procedure. Secondary outcomes include CSDH volume, incidence of surgical evacuation procedures, CSDH recurrence, cognitive functions, functional autonomy, quality of life, incidence of complications and length of hospital stay. Planned subgroup analyses will be performed for conservatively vs surgically-managed subjects and highly vs poorly vascularised CSDH. DISCUSSION CSDH is a frequent and morbid condition for which an effective medical treatment has yet to be discovered. The TRACS trial will be the first prospective study of TXA for CSDH.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound guided hematoma block versus traditional "blind" hematoma block for analgesia in distal radius fracture reduction.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcome of patients with pathologies of the ascending thoracic aorta (diseases in the great blood vessel or artery that leads away from the heart) including type A aortic dissection, retrograde type A aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, penetrating ulcer or pseudoaneurysm who are suitable for endovascular (within the vessel) repair with the Medtronic Valiant PS-IDE (Physician Sponsored-Investigational Device Exemption) Stent Graft. Type A aortic dissection is a condition where blood passes through the inner lining or between the layers of the blood vessel from a tear in the aortic wall (dissection) in the ascending aorta; a retrograde Type A aortic dissection is a condition where the dissection or tear in the ascending aorta starts from the descending aorta; an intramural hematoma is a collection of clotted blood within the aortic wall; a penetrating ulcer has a plaque or clot within the wall and a pseudoaneurysm is a false aneurysm . If left untreated in any of these conditions, the aorta can enlarge and rupture causing injury or death. The plan for these patients is to repair the ascending thoracic aorta using the Medtronic Valiant PS-IDE Stent Graft with the Captivia Delivery System. The Valiant Captivia has been evaluated worldwide and used extensively in patients with type B (descending) thoracic aortic dissection. Since the dissections in the ascending aortas mirror that of the descending aorta, it is expected that this stent graft will deliver similar performance and endurance in patients with type A aortic dissection. The investigators expect to reroute the blood to the true lumen (the inner space within the blood vessel) by covering the proximal (nearest to the heart) tear with the stent graft. The stent graft is a stent frame made from Nitinol wire and covered with an expandable material made of a polyester material. This new study will determine how well the device works to treat dissections, intramural hematomas, penetrating ulcers and pseudoaneurysms in the ascending thoracic aorta.
