The secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of the FIVE score on hospital length of stay, Modified Rankin Scale, and mortality, as well as to determine the correlation between the GCS, FOUR, and FIVE scores
This is a post market prospective, single arm clinical investigation to continuously assess the safety performance and effectiveness of the Celox™ PPH as a uterine haemostatic tamponade treatment for uterine postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
The goal of this observational study is to use artificial intelligence to differentiate cerebral hemorrhage from contrast agent extravasation after mechanical revascularization in ischemic stroke. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether artificial intelligence can help differentiate brain hemorrhage from contrast agent extravasation. Patients with intracranial high-density lesions on CT scans within 24h after mechanical revascularization will be included. Expected to enroll 500 patients. The type of high-density lesion is determined according to dual-energy CT images or follow-up images. Patients will be divided into training group, validation and testing groups by stratified random sampling (6:2:2). After the images and the image labels are obtained, deep learning artificial intelligence will be used to learn the image characteristics and establish a diagnostic model, and the model performance and generalization ability will be evaluated.
Endoscopy is important for the diagnosis and treatment of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB), especially acute variceal bleeding (AVB), in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the optimal timing of endoscopy remains controversial, primarily because the currently available evidence is of poor quality, and the definition of early endoscopy is also very heterogeneous among studies. Herein, a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) is performed to explore the impact of timing of endoscopy on the outcomes of cirrhotic patients with AVB.
Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleed of variceal origin is a common medical emergency. Prompt endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) is therapeutic as well as diagnostic. Terlipressin, a vasopressin analog (intravenous, 2 mg q 4 hourly), is widely used promptly in any suspicious cases of variceal haemorrhage (VH) before endoscopic intervention, along with volume and blood resuscitative measures. As per guideline, after EVL Terlipressin therapy (1 mg IV q 4 hourly) is advised to continue for 2-5 day to prevent re-bleed and mortality [1]. But the prolong use of Terlipressin is not completely safe as well as it is expensive also in resource constraint setting. At present, no randomized control clinical trial (RCT) is available to prove the efficacy of post-EVL Terlipressin therapy in preventing re-bleed and mortality in acute variceal haemorrhage. During the post marketing surveillance Terlipressin therapy was found to be associated with life threatening complication like cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, critical vasoconstriction of peripheral as well as internal organ leading to ischemia or gangrene, severe hyponatremia, hypertension, fluid overload and pulmonary oedema (2-4). So the justification of continuing Terlipressin for 5 days after EVL is questionable, as the haemostasis is primarily achieved by EVL and the risk versus benefit of Trelipressin therapy after EVL is still unknown. Continue IV Terlipressin therapy also prolongs in-hospital care causing further increase of health care burden. As per recently concluded institutional study, continuing Terlipressin after EVL in acute VH did not prevent re-bleed or mortality, rather it increased the risk of ADR, duration of hospital stay, in-hospital complications and cost of the therapy [5]. But the study was open level with relatively smaller sample size. There is still lack of RCT on post-EVL Terlipressin therapy, regarding its efficacy in preventing re-bleed and mortality. So, we have planned this study to evaluate the efficacy of continuous Terlipressin therapy after EVL, in acute VH. It will be a double blind randomized controlled clinical trial. The study will be carried out in the 2 arms; denoting the duration of Terlipressin therapy after EVL. Participant with acute VH will be randomized into two study groups after successful EVL. The treatment group will receive injection Terlipressin (1 mg IV bolus q 4 hourly) for 2 days and the control group will receive 10 ml of 0.9% normal saline (NS) IV bolus q 4 hourly instead of Terlipressin for 2 days. Both the group will receive standard care of therapy and will be followed up for 8 weeks. The participants and the recruiter/PI will be unaware of intervention (terlipressin or NS) receiving. The study will enlighten us regarding efficacy of continuous Terlipressin therapy after EVL to prevent re- bleed and mortality in acute VH. The study will also generate significant data regarding adverse drug events (ADE) and cost effectiveness or pharmaco- economics of continue Terlipressin therapy after EVL. In the Indian population there is no study to determine the role gene related to variceal bleed or re-bleed. Endothelial dysfunction is the major contributor for the development of portal hypertension and subsequent varices formation in patient with cirrhosis. Development of blood vessel and endothelial function, endothelial proliferation and neoangiogenesis are regulated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family genes. In a recently published study, VEGF C(+405)G(rs2010963) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype was found to be associated with higher risk of esophageal and gastric varices and bleeding [10]. Since VEGF is the major factor to endothelial proliferation and neoangiogenesis. So, in this study, as a secondary objective, we will also try to explore the association of VEGF genotype with variceal bleed/ re-bleed and mortality.
Cesarean section is the most prevalent operation among women globally, 10-15% (1, 2). Recent research has shown Egypt to be the third-largest country globally, with an estimated 52% cesarean sections (3). However, the cesarean section has many serious complications, including the primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) (4). During labor, the average blood loss is about 300 to 400 ml. Bleeding postpartum is known as losing over five hundred milliliter of blood following a vaginal birth and losing over one thousand milliliter after the cesarean section (5). The prime cause of maternal death rate is postpartum bleeding, predominately in poor countries, and the estimated mortality number due to postpartum bleeding is one hundred thousand per year (6). Therefore, it is essential to reduce bleeding during and after CS to diminish maternal mortality and morbidity (7). The most successful technique for decreasing PPH is the active third stage labor management, requiring prophylactic uterotonic drugs like oxytocin, ergometrine malate, prostaglandins (E1, E2, and F2α), and combinations of them, or hemostatic agent as tranexamic acid (Kapron) and Etamsylate (Dicynon) (8, 9).
The aim of the study is to determine the diagnostic performance of MRI of endometrial pathology in postmenopausal women with postmenopausal bleeding
The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a previously developed storytelling intervention on anticoagulation (AC) initiation/persistence in African American and Black patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter. The investigators hope to gain knowledge that may help treat atrial fibrillation or flutter and lower stroke and adverse cardiovascular event risks for African American and Black patients by increasing the use of blood thinning medications known as anticoagulants.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the retention of knowledge and skills after theory+simulation training versus theoretical training alone in postpartum haemorrhage immediately, 3 months and 6 months after training in South Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The project is a prospective observational study aimed to assess and to validate the use of point-of-care hemoglobin testing in pregnancy. Point-of-care hemoglobin testing has the potential to (1) increase access to hemoglobin monitoring in pregnancy in low resource settings, (2) increase availability of hemoglobin monitoring in anemic patients, and (3) provide immediate results for real-time patient counseling and intervention. However, to date, point-of-care hemoglobin testing devices have not yet been studied for use in an ambulatory obstetric population. The Masimo device is a Root Radical 7 Pulse CO-Oximeter, manufactured by Masimo, Inc. This device is non-invasive and placed externally on a patient's finger to generate an estimation of a patient's hemoglobin value. The HemoCue® device is a minimally-invasive device that relies on the finger prick method to get a capillary hemoglobin measurement. Participants in this study will be approached at the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinics at George Washington Medical Faculty Associates. Point-of-care hemoglobin measurements will be assessed using the non-invasive Masimo device along with minimally-invasive hemoglobin HemoCue® Hb 801 device and compared to traditional venipuncture hemoglobin testing.
