Filter by:Vonoprazan (VPZ), an oral potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) has emerged as an alternative potent acid-suppressant.It has a faster onset of action in 1 day (3-5 days in PPI), and is more stable in acidic condition than PPI. While many studies compared Vonoprazan against PPI in the treatment of reflux oesophagitis, H. Pylori eradication, and gastric ulcers; thus far, there is a paucity of data on use of Vonoprazan on bleeding peptic ulcers. We perform a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the efficacy of oral Vonoprazan against standard high dose PPI therapy in bleeding peptic ulcers that had received successful endoscopic haemostasis We hypothesize that in patients with bleeding peptic ulcers, the use of acid pump inhibitors Vonoprazan would not be inferior to standard treatment of a bolus plus high dose PPI intravenous infusion at preventing recurrent bleeding after endoscopic haemostasis.
This is a clinical trial in which we will learn about the retinal findings in three clinical groups of children, who might be at risk of having retinal hemorrhages (RH). The aim of the study is to explore the occurrence of moderate to severe retinal hemorrhages in critically ill children, children with intracranial hemorrhages, hydrocephalus or signs of elevated intracranial pressure and in children with benign enlargement of subarachnoid spaces (BESS). 1. Are RHs associated with BESS? 2. What is the prevalence, distribution and extent of RHs in critically ill children? 3. What is the prevalence, distribution and extent of RHs in children with traumatic brain injury? 4. Does the prevalence, distribution and extent of RHs differ in children with witnessed traumatic brain injury from children with traumatic brain injury of unknown origin? 5. To what extent do the causes of RHs affect visual acuity, initially and during recovery? A retinal ophthalmoscopy through dilated pupils will be conducted and a fundus photograph will be taken by a handheld, non-touch camera.
Background: Trauma is the leading cause of death in young adults worldwide and the most common causes of mortality are haemorrhage and brain injury. About 40% of trauma related deaths are due to massive haemorrhage and approximately 30% of trauma patients have an associated trauma induced coagulopathy. In order to improve outcome, the optimal care for the bleeding patient need to be further understood. Aim: The overall aim of this project is to evaluate characteristics and outcomes in patients receiving blood transfusion in the early phase after major trauma at a Level 1 trauma center in Sweden. The specific aims are: i) To describe outcome, characteristics and effects on the coagulation system in patients receiving early blood transfusion compared to those not receiving transfusion in the early phase. ii) To describe outcome, characteristics and effects on the coagulation system in patients receiving prehospital blood transfusion compared to patients where transfusion is initiated in the trauma unit. iii) To describe the effect from concurrent treatment with procoagulant drugs and intravenous fluids on outcome, characteristics and effects on the coagulation system in patients receiving blood transfusion after major trauma. Method: This is an observational study of trauma patients admitted to the Trauma Unit at the Karolinska University Hospital Solna, Stockholm, Sweden. Data from patients receiving blood transfusion (erythrocytes, plasma or whole blood) in the early phase of the resuscitation will be collected. All patients receiving transfusion within two hours from arrival will be included. Data on trauma details, injuries, physiological parameters, coagulations tests and treatment will be collected prospectively and from existing registries. The control group will consist of patients not receiving transfusion during the first two hours of care.
Study Aims Pilot study: Due to the large recruitment goal and length of the project, the study team/PIs will evaluate the first cohort of 6-10 participants to refine study procedures and study-related materials. If no major modifications are made to the protocol as a result of this evaluation, data from these participants will be included for analysis. Aim 1: Evaluate the efficacy of an early, evidence-based, clinical experience-based therapeutic intervention (from the NICU to 12-months corrected age) on improving motor function and reducing severity of motor delays in infants at 12-months corrected age. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will demonstrate an average 8-point difference (0.5 standard deviation) compared to the standard of care group. [an 8-point difference is considered a clinically meaningful difference] Aim 2: Evaluate the early effects (i.e., before 12 months) of a therapeutic intervention, provided from NICU to 12-months corrected age, on motor function and severity of motor delay. The Investigators hypothesize that a statistically significant higher percentage of infants in the intervention group will demonstrate improved motor function and reduced severity of motor delays, compared to the standard of care group-assessed using sensors, the NSMDA and TIMP-as early as 3-months corrected age. Aim 3: Evaluate whether an early intervention that focuses on caregiver engagement improves caregiver well-being. The invetigators hypothesize that an intervention that focuses on supporting and addressing the individual needs of the caregiver will improve caregiver well-being. The investigators will evaluate these effects using the PedsQL (Family Impact Module).
Heavy bleeding after childbirth, known as a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), causes about 70,000 maternal deaths every year. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a lifesaving treatment for women with PPH. The I'M WOMAN trial is a research study to see whether giving TXA just before childbirth will stop women developing PPH. The trial will assess the effects of intramuscular (IM) and intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid on PPH, side effects and other important maternal health outcomes.
Remazolam besylate was used for sedation during endoscopic hemostasis in patients with esophageal and gastric varices rupture and bleeding in liver cirrhosis. The onset time, recovery time and incidence of adverse reactions were observed.
Objective: To explore the predictive value of characteristic disorder of intestinal flora for clinical prognosis in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Secondary objectives: 1) To investigate the correlation of gut microbiota and its serological indicators with imaging features and clinical neurological deficits in ICH; 2) Dynamically observe the changes of human microbiome and its serological indicators after ICH, and explore the biomarkers based on human microbiome related to disease changes.
Guided by clinical problems, this study focused on the problems encountered in clinical practice, with the interventional treatment of emergency gastrointestinal bleeding as the breakthrough point, and focused on the dilemma of treatment selection for patients with negative angiography in gastrointestinal bleeding. At present, there is no report on relevant clinical and basic research on the selection of treatment strategies for patients with negative ANVUGIB angiography. Whether prophylactic arterial embolization can benefit patients and whether it can reduce mortality is an urgent clinical problem to be solved.
Lower extremity amputation patients represent a frail group of patients with extensive comorbidity. The most common indication of amputation is ischemia, infection and concomitant ischemic pain due to underlying chronic disease, especially arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Prolonged general anesthesia and surgery as well as increased blood loss may result in impaired patient safety. Previous studies have shown total blood loss approx. 1000 mL in transfemoral amputations (TFA). Substantial blood loss during surgery increases the risk of anemic complications and death for this already weakened patient group. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to improve patient safety by exploring the possibility of a more precautious surgical procedure for TFA. Hence, investigating the total blood loss and secondary differences in complications after TFA between patients operated with use of pneumatic tourniquet versus no tourniquet. Total blood loss is calculated via Nadlers approach. From a pilot series, sample size was calculated to 124, allocated 1:1 in two groups of 62 participants, to ensure detection of at least 200 mL difference in total blood loss. The hypothesis is that use of tourniquet will decrease the total blood loss, the amount of blood transfusions, time of surgery and complications related to postoperative anemia without a higher rate of adverse events. The secondary and explorative outcomes are blood transfusions, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay, time of surgery, risk of readmission, risk of re-operation, risk of mortality, complications during admission, quality of life (QoL), prosthesis use and the prosthesis-specific survey Prothesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ). QoL is measured with the validated questionnaire EQ-5D-5L preoperatively, and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. The possibility to enhance patient safety is highly relevant, and this trial will aid in establishing evidence-based guidelines for TFA surgery.
