Acute microcirculatory perfusion disturbances is common in critical illness and associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Recent findings by the investigators' group showed that microcirculatory perfusion is disturbed during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and remain disturbed up to 72 (seventy two) hours after surgery. A cardiopulmonary bypass is a machine which takes over heart and lung function, during the procedure. The disturbed microcirculation is associated with organ dysfunction induced by cardiac surgery using CPB, which is frequently seen (up to 42%, forty two percent) and results in a six-fold increase in mortality rate. The underlying cause of disturbed microcirculation is a higher endothelial permeability and vascular leakage and are a consequence of systemic inflammation, hemodilution (dilution of blood), hypothermia and hemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells). To gain the knowledge regarding disturbed microcirculation the investigators previously showed that hemodilution attributes to this disturbed perfusion. Hemodilution lowers colloid oncotic pressure (COP). Also, COP is affected by free hemoglobin, which increases with hemolysis and attributes to a disturbed microcirculation following CPB. This is interesting, as to the best of our knowledge, the effect of minimizing hemodilution and hemolysis during cardiac surgery on the microcirculatory perfusion has never been investigated, but could be the key factor in reducing organ dysfunction.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CAN106 administered intravenously to subjects with PNH who have not previously been treated with a complement inhibitor.
Anemia is a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) in the circulation. Because RBCs carry the oxygen your body needs to function, anemia can affect one's ability to stay awake, alert, and perform physical activities. Anemia may happen for several reasons, including increased RBC destruction. Anemia often occurs in people who have been in bed for long periods (e.g., if they are very sick) or have decreased mobility (anemia of immobility). Interestingly, astronauts who have left Earth and traveled in space also return anemic. In fact, 5 decades of NASA data showed that astronauts' anemia was more severe the longer they were in space. In another study, astronauts aboard the International Space Station were shown to destroy 54% more of their RBCs in space. RBC destruction may be the culprit of space anemia as well as anemia of immobility on Earth. The ANEMIA Study proposes to measure key aspects of RBC destruction in astronauts in space. These measures will test critical hypotheses on the effects of spaceflight on red blood cells.
Evaluation of immunogenicity and safety of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (BBIBP-Corv) coadministered with PPV23 and IIV4 in hemodialysis population.
A Clinical Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of CD19/BCMA Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Refractory POEMS Syndrome, Amyloidosis, Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, and Vasculitis
This prospective, sample collection study will assess different oral and/or nasal sample types collected from patients suspected of suffering from GABHS pharyngitis to conduct research and development on innovative GABHS detection methods specific for each sample type.
The objective of this study is to determine if early high volume intravenous fluid administration (hyperhydration) may be effective in mitigating or preventing complications of shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) infection in children and adolescents when compared with traditional approaches (conservative fluid management).
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare autoimmune disease (incidence <1/100,000 population) responsible for the destruction of red blood cells by the host immune system, notably through the action of autoantibodies. Apart from complications related to anemia, the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this population is frequent, estimated at 20-27%. The risk of VTE is highest during the period of hemolysis, especially during the first 3 months after the diagnosis of AIHA. This risk is 7.5 [4.7; 12.0] times greater than in the general population. No clinical predictive factor for VTE was identified and the usual factors (cancer, previous VTE, bed rest >3 days, surgery, age >70 years, heart or respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, obesity, hormone replacement therapy) were not considered. Several biological risk factors have been suggested (depth of anemia, bilirubin level, leukocyte count, antiphospholipid antibodies) but have not been confirmed in other studies. AIHA is therefore a risk factor for VTE in its own right, and the National Diagnostic and Care Protocol (NDCP) recommends the implementation of VTE prevention during acute hemolysis (Grade C). However, the value of this prophylaxis has never been prospectively evaluated and its duration is empirical. In practice, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is generally used during "flare-ups" of AIHA (diagnosis and relapse) in hospitalized patients, but is rarely continued beyond the hospital phase when VTE also occurs in ambulatory patients. Thus, we hypothesize that prolonged preventive anticoagulation during the 12-week risk period following diagnosis or relapse of AIHA could decrease the incidence of VTE. In orthopedic surgery, this strategy has been proven to decrease VTE from 50% to 10-15%. In certain high-risk medical situations, prolonged prophylaxis with apixaban has been shown to decrease the occurrence of VTE from 10.2% to 4.2% in solid cancers4 and from 4-11% to 2% in myeloma.
the cyclosporine showed efficacy in many immune cytopenic diseases in the light of numerous case reports and retrospective data. This study compares cyclosporin versus rituximab in steroid-refractory anemia.
