Filter by:This study is being conducted to evaluate the impact of a 91-day extended cycle oral contraceptive compared to two 28-day oral contraceptive regimens on hemostatic parameters in healthy women.
Antifibrinolytic drugs are used to decrease perioperative bleeding and allogeneic transfusions. The extensively studied antifibrinolytic drug aprotinin is efficacious but expensive, and has been proved to link to higher risks of serious side effects including renal problems, myocardial events, and strokes in patients undergoing CABG. After the secession of aprotinin in 2007, a marked increase of blood loss and transfusions in cardiac surgery took place. An effective and secure hemostatic agent is badly needed. Ulinastatin, urinary trypsin inhibitor(UTI), is a secreted Kunitz-type protease inhibitor with a wide inhibition spectrum, including plasmin. Limited studies offered clues to its antifibrinolytic effect. Tranexamic acid has been applied for years with convinced efficacy and safety. The objective of the study is to evaluate the hemostatic effect of ulinastatin and tranexamic acid in cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study in patients with type 2 diabetes was to investigate the acute effect of postprandial blood glucose levels modified by two different insulin treatment regimens on coagulation activation, inflammation and endothelial cell function. The investigators hypothesized that the rapid-acting insulin analogue aspart has a beneficial postprandial effect on coagulation, endothelial dysfunction and inflammation compared with the intermediate-acting insulin NPH due to its ability to lower postprandial glycaemia.
This is a multi-centre, patient-blinded, intra-operatively randomised controlled trial. A total of 126 patients planned for an elective liver resection will be enrolled in 9 surgical centres. The primary objective of this study is to show that the collagen based haemostatic device Sangustop® is not inferior to a carrier-bound fibrin sealant (Tachosil®) in achieving haemostasis after hepatic resection.
The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate that the bleeding time of suture holes after construction of arterial bypass anastomosis is shorter after treatment with Lyostypt® than with Surgicel®
The effectiveness objective of this study is to evaluate whether Fibrin Patch is superior to SURGICEL™ as an adjunct to achieving hemostasis during surgical procedures involving soft tissue bleeding in abdominal, pelvic, retroperitoneal and (non-cardiac) thoracic surgery.
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as diclofenac or naproxen may interfere with the inhibition of platelet aggregation by aspirin, because they all interact with the platelet cyclooxygenase.This may be of great clinical importance because of an increased cardiovascular event rate (myocardial infarction, stroke). The present randomized, controlled study analyses in vitro platelet aggregation under a combined treatment of healthy volunteers with aspirin and either acetaminophen, diclofenac, naproxen, or placebo.
This is a retrospective chart review study. The purpose of this study is to review our experience at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in neonates receiving aprotinin. We will examine the specific outcomes of renal dysfunction, thrombosis and mortality.
In elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) the presence of silent brain infarcts and neurocognitive deficit is high despite adequate treatment with oral anticoagulation. Atherosclerosis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disease and thrombosis and inflammation are strongly correlated. Atrial fibrillation is linked with increased levels of inflammatory markers and intensive cholesterol lowering has proven to reduce inflammation. In a prospective double-blind randomized pilot-study we want to test the hypothesis, that addition of intensive cholesterol lowering treatment besides adequate oral anticoagulation will reduce cerebrovascular lesions and will be beneficial for neurocognitive status in elderly AF patients.
OSHES (= Observational Study on Hemostasis in Surgery) is a non interventional register settled in Italy with the purpose of collecting data on 800 patients intra-operatively treated with hemostatic supporting agents/techniques in addition to the standard surgical procedures in 40 surgical wards. The availability of these data will allow for a better understanding of the therapeutic needs in the area of hemostatic supporting agents/techniques.
