Filter by:This study focuses on the relationship between obesity and stroke, which are both characterized by increasing incidence and prevalence with epidemic proportions worldwide and tremendous socio-economic consequences. Furthermore, obesity is an established risk factor for stroke and affects especially younger people, which increases the stroke incidence in younger patients. Unfortunately, the relationship between overweight and acute ischemic stroke including treatment by thrombolysis has not yet been evaluated thoroughly.
Biomedical and Engineering approaches form a key element to neurological rehabilitation of upper limbs. Brain Computer Interface (BCI) using Motor execution and Motor Imagery are known to aid motor recovery in stroke. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Noninvasive Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) based EEG based BCI using motor execution and Motor Imagery tasks can aid in rehabilitation of upper limb movements in chronic stroke. The project aims to explore an SMR-based BCI system that can exploit the sensorimotor rhythm voluntary modulation to play a virtual game as neurofeedback using motor executory tasks and imagined hand movements by stroke patients, who suffer from upper limb disability.
AISRNA is to analyze the expression pattern of circular RNA (circRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) by next-generation sequencing in patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy control. The candidate circRNA/miRNA/lncRNA will be verified as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.
This is an observational prospective study about the reperfusion rate of intravenous thrombolysis on ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusions and predictor factors of successful recanalization.
Dual antiplatelet therapy has a key role in a prevention of thrombosis of treated artery in patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Weak therapeutic response and presence of residual platelet activity is related to high risk for stent thrombosis and it is well in known in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However there are few data on the association between a different entity of platelet inhibition on antiplatelet treatment and clinical outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of on-treatment platelet reactivity, and its association with ischemic and hemorrhagic adverse events at follow up in PAD patients undergoing PTA.
The aim of the work is to; elucidate how the presence of carotid stenosis influence the pattern of stroke and also how it interact with other risk factors for stroke. Also identify predictors of intracranial stenosis and outcome in patients with carotid stenosis with or without intracranial stenosis.
The main purpose of this trial is to determine whether Xingnaojing, intravenously administered within 24 hours of symptom onset, improves the daily living ability of acute ischemic stroke at 90 days.
The present study aims to compare a planned angiographic control (PAC) follow-up strategy vs. conservative management for patients treated with drug-eluting stents on unprotected left main artery in a prospective, randomized setting. PAC will be performed by coronary computed tomography (CCT), to avoid the limitations of the invasive coronary angiography which is usually employed to perform PAC. The superiority of a PAC-based approach will be tested on a hard clinical end-point such as the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. The investigators will also assess the performance of CCT as a tool to perform PAC.
This clinical trail will evaluate the effect of Sanchitongshu combined with antiplatelet drugs (Aspirin or Clopidogrel) in the treatment of high-risk ischemic stroke patients in adults. Half of participants will receive SanchiTongshu and one of antiplatelet drugs (Aspirin or Clopidogrel) in combination, while the other half will receive a placebo and one of antiplatelet drugs (Aspirin or Clopidogrel).
To assess the feasibility of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and fractional flow reserve derived from CTA (FFRCT) to replace invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as a surgical guidance method for planning and execution of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with 3-vessel disease with or without left main disease. The FASTTRACK CABG study is an investigator-initiated single-arm, multicentre, prospective, proof-of-concept, and first-in-man study with feasibility and safety analysis. Surgical revascularization strategy and treatment planning will be solely based on coronary CTA and FFRCT without knowledge of the anatomy defined otherwise by ICA that will be viewed and analyzed only by the conventional heart team. Clinical follow-up visit including coronary CTA will be performed 30 days after CABG in order to assess graft patency and adequacy of the revascularization with respect to the surgical planning based on non-invasive imaging with functional assessment and compared to ICA. Primary feasibility endpoint is CABG planning and execution solely based on coronary CTA in 114 patients. Primary safety endpoint based on 30-day coronary CTA is graft assessment either at the ostium, in the shaft or at the anastomoses of each individual graft either single or sequential. The FASTTRACK CABG study is the first study to assess safety and feasibility of planning and execution of surgical revascularization in patients with complex coronary artery disease, solely based on coronary CTA combined with FFRCT.
