Filter by:Inflammation is an important pillar of atherogenesis in coronary disease. Studies have documented the prognostic power of measuring coronary perivascular adipose tissue attenuation (PVAT) and its good correlation as an early inflammatory biomarker in the atherogenesis process, in addition to being a predictor for cardiovascular events in the future. Colchicine, a medication with well-documented anti-inflammatory action and with an impact on reducing cardiovascular outcomes, may have an action in reducing FAI (fat attenuation index). This study aims to evaluate the effect of colchicine in reducing coronary perivascular inflammation.
In this study, our aim is to investigate the role of tranexamic acid for modulating the inflammation in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Infusion of Argipressin during hepatic resection surgery may reduce blood loss. It may also reduce transfusion requirements, and mitigate the perioperative inflammatory response compared to placebo. Subjects will be randomized to infusion of Argipressin or placebo during surgery. Blood loss, transfusion requirements, surgical data including length of stay in hsopital, inflammatory markers and markers of renal- intestinal- and cardiac injury will be assessed.
Major surgery induces a systemic inflammatory response, which can influence the post-operative morbidity, such as coagulation disorders and post-operative muscle weakness, hampering early recovery after surgery. Single administration of high dose corticosteroids is known to reduce this inflammatory response and could possibly improve the post-operative outcome. The CORTERAS study will evaluate the effect of administration of corticosteroids, as compared to no corticosteroids, on postoperative muscle weakness and quality of recovery after surgery in elderly patients.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study. The subjects were patients who received ECMO support. According to whether ulinastatin is used in the treatment regimen (determined by the competent doctor according to the patient's condition), the patients were divided into the ulinastatin and control groups. In the ulinastatin group, ulinastatin was used for inflammation management and organ protection early before ECMO was started. Baseline data and inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α), capillary leakage markers, routine test results, duration of ECMO use/length of hospital stay/length of ICU stay were recorded at 1, 3, and 5 days after the start of ECMO support, and patients were followed up on the 28th and 90th days.
To assess whether perioperatively elevated TnT levels, using high sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) measurements, are associated with an increased risk of postoperative mortality as well as severe postoperative complications.
Studies have shown that excessive systemic inflammatory response and concomitant immunosuppression are the main cause of early death in patients with sepsis. Therefore, it is very important to reduce excessive inflammation and improve immunosuppression in the acute phase of sepsis. Clinical studies have shown that esketamine combined with propofol for sedation has been proven to be safe and effective for septic patients in the ICU due to its cardiovascular stability. Previous studies have demonstrated that esketamine has anti-inflammatory effects against depression and surgical stress. Our preliminary experimental studies have found that esketamine had strong anti-inflammatory effects in the acute phase of sepsis. However, it is not clear whether esketamine could reduce excessive inflammation and improve immunosuppression in septic patients primarily sedated with a continuous infusion of propofol. This intervention study is to investigate whether three consecutive days of intravenous esketamine infusions via infusion pump (0.07 mg/kg/h) could reduce excessive inflammation and improve immunosuppression in septic patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the ICU under sedation primarily with propofol.
Anticoagulants influence either coagulation, inflammation and inflammatory processes in deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Acute DVT cause an inflammatory response that may persist for a long period of time. There is a need to describe patterns of change in serum biomarker levels after acute DVT, and explore the association between trajectory biological patterns and clinical evolution in the era of various anticoagulants in the acute phase of treatment in order to be able to further avoid recurrence and late sequelae. It appears that direct oral anticoagulants and heparin alter inflammatory markers in different ways. It is therefore important to study the evolution of markers according to the different treatments used and secondarily to compare them with each other. Tinzaparin is used in the long term in patients with DVT, it is necessary to measure the evolution of inflammatory markers and then in another study to compare with the other molecules.
The prevalence and incidence of end-stage renal disease in Taiwan ranks highest in the world, and it is based on the 2018 health welfare According to statistics from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in Taiwan. As the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, inflammation, and physical and psychological symptoms (such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, and depression) will increase, which will further damage the structure and function of the kidney Intensified, increasing the demand for dialysis treatment and the risk of cardiovascular disease, which consumes social and medical costs. If the investigators can intervene in a feasible measure to effectively regulate the autonomic nervous function of CKD patients, reduce inflammation and physical and psychological symptoms, and delay the progression of the disease, it will be the main goal of caring for CKD patients. To explore the intervention of heart rate variability biofeedback, which can improve the autonomic nervous function (heart rate variability [Heart Rate Variability]), inflammatory response (interleukin-6 [Interleukin-6, IL-6], C-reactive protein [ C reaction protein, CRP]) and physical and psychological symptoms (such as reducing fatigue, sleep disturbance and depression).
The study will follow COVID-19 patients who required intensive care after 3-6 months and one year after discharge from the ICU with functional level as well as organ function to assess recovery after COVID-19. Blood and urine will be collected for biobanking.
