Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dapagliflozin or placebo on acetylcholine (Ach)- or nitroglycerin (GTN)-induced vasodilation of the forearm resistance vasculature, as determined by FBF measurement before and 10 minutes after 20 minutes of forearm ischemia.
Transient ischemic accidents (TIA) are a frequent resort to hospitalization in the emergency department and are serious events in terms of recurrence and handicap. The organization of the "TIA sector" at CHUGA aims to facilitate on the one hand the care of the patient during his hospitalization in the emergencies and on the other hand to allow a safer discharge of the patient as well as his follow-up in ambulatory. The aim of this study is to study the feasibility of comprehensive short-term outpatient management after hospitalization in the emergencies. The research hypothesis is that 90% of patients complete all of the 10 recommended examinations for the diagnosis of TIA, analysis of its risk factors and initiation of necessary treatments, if necessary.
The Acute Ischemic Stroke Registry for Endovascular Treatment (AIS-EVT) is an academic, prospective, multicenter, observational registry study. Consecutive stroke patients treated with endovascular treatment will be enrolled in stroke centers. Baseline information and clinical follow-up information at 90 days of stroke onset are collected. Data collected include demographics, comorbidities, pathogenesis, blood pressures, stroke severity on admission, time intervals, reperfusion condition, and functional outcome, et al.
Acute ischemic stroke registry--Xuanwu Hospital(XSR) is an academic, independent, prospective, single center, observational registry study. Consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients assessed in stroke "green channel" of Xuanwu Hospital(China) will be enrolled in our study. Patients receive regular treatment and data will be collected as part of clinical routine. Baseline clinical and procedural information as well clinical follow-up information during in-hospital stay, and up to 90 days of stroke onset are collected. Data collected include demographics, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission, pre-treatment ASPECTS, information on timing and success of thrombolysis or thrombectomy, procedural complications, intracranial hemorrhage, and functional outcome.The study aim to investigate the real situation of assessment, diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients in "green channel",and verify the effect of the improvement of "green channel" process in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Patients presenting to the emergency department with acute ischemic stroke, who are are eligible for standard intravenous thrombolytic therapy within 4.5 hours of stroke onset will be assessed for major vessel occlusion to determine their eligibility for the trial. All participants will receive intravenous tenecteplase and endovascular thrombectomy as standard care. The trial is a Bayesian Optimised Phase 2 dose-finding umbrella trial (single arm versus objective performance criterion of 20% substantial reperfusion prior to endovascular thrombectomy based on the EXTEND-IA TNK trials NCT02388061, NCT03340493). The aim is to determine the optimal dose of intravenous dornase alfa (recombinant human DNase 1) with sufficient promise to take forward in a seamless phase 2b/3 design.
A phase III, randomized, multi-center clinical trial that will examine whether treatment with intravenous TNK is superior to placebo in patients who suffer a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke within 4.5-12 hours from time last seen well. The randomization employs a 1:1 ratio of intravenous thrombolysis with Tenecteplase (TNK) versus placebo in patients who suffer a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke between 4.5 and 12 hours from time last seen well (TLSW) and with a clinical-radiological mismatch or evidence of salvageable brain tissue on perfusion imaging.
A phase III randomized, multi-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial that will examine two strategies for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke associated with a large vessel anterior occlusion within 4.5 hours from symptoms onset: direct endovascular treatment vs. endovascular treatment preceded by intravenous tenecteplase.
Rationale: Acute intestinal ischemia is a life-threatening condition with a short-term mortality that can range up to 80%. Medical diagnosis and treatment have remained troublesome, due to the clinical presentation which is mostly characterized by non-specific signs and symptoms. Early unambiguous diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia is critical to prevent progression from reversible to irreversible intestinal injury, and henceforth decrease morbidity and improve survival. Objective: We aim to validate a panel of plasma biomarkers and investigate volatile biomarkers that allow early and accurate identification of acute intestinal ischemia in patients. In addition, we aim to identify a volatile organic compound (VOC) profile specific for acute intestinal ischemia in exhaled breath. Study design: Prospective observational study Study population: All patients suspected of acute intestinal ischemia Main study parameters: The primary endpoint of the study is the early and accurate identification of presence and severity of acute intestinal ischemia in patients. The main study parameters are plasma biomarkers indicative for intestinal damage and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in exhaled air of patients suspected of acute intestinal ischemia. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There is a minimal amount of risks involved in participating in this study. Blood samples will be obtained with the use of an arterial line, intravenous line (IV), central venous catheter (CVC), peripheral venous catheter (PVC) or a venepuncture. The risk of venepuncture is a small local hematoma. In addition to blood sampling, we will also obtain exhaled air. This non-invasive procedure takes approximately 5 minutes in which patients breath in a 3L Tedlar bag at a normal frequency and volume. This procedure will not cause any physical strain. Collection of samples and data will take place during the hospital stay of the included patients. For this reason, no additional hospital visits are required for this study. Participating patients in this study will have no direct benefits, but in the future the results of our study will likely be useful in the early diagnosis of patients suspected of acute intestinal ischemia. The research goal in this study is the early identification of patients that suffer from acute intestinal ischemia. These patients are difficult to diagnose due to a multitude of non-specific symptoms and the lack of fast and specific tests. In this study we will be able to investigate patients that are admitted with acute abdominal complications and observe them in the early stages of their condition. Accordingly, we will be able to evaluate the proposed panel of biomarkers and to identify VOC patterns in patients with acute abdominal complications.
The aim of the biomedical research is to evaluate the changes of body position management during standing and walking for stroke patients, using innovative training methods during the rehabilitation.
To evaluate whether retrograde venous reperfusion of a renal graft before antegrade arterial reperfusion can reduce ischemic-reperfusion injury. All registered eligible candidates for kidney transplant will be randomized to receive either: - retrograde venous, then arterial reperfusion or - antegrade arterial reperfusion.
