Filter by:The publication of a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) is often not enough for its correct use in the field of health care. There are barriers to the implementation of the CPG recommendations, including those related to the lack of knowledge or skills on the part of health service providers. Strategies have been proposed to improve the implementation of the CPGs through interventions with different levels of effectiveness, such as the use of reminders, informative meetings, sending educational material, audits, among others. Some of these interventions can be carried out through Telehealth strategies, that is, with remote services. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Telehealth program to improve the implementation of the Clinical Practice Guideline for diagnosis and preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative treatment of the amputee, the prescription of the prosthesis and comprehensive rehabilitation, through strategies to publicize the recommendations included in the CPG and train doctors, reducing the barriers related to the lack of knowledge of the CPG. For this, two groups of institutions that provide health services in Antioquia will be compared, randomized according to two interventions: the socialization of the recommendations of the CPG for amputees, against a combined strategy of education through a Telehealth platform and the delivery of educational material. Compliance with prioritized recommendations of the CPG will be evaluated, related to surgical techniques, perioperative practices, the prescription of prosthetic components and referral to services that allow the comprehensive rehabilitation of the person with amputation. Additionally, the theoretical knowledge of the doctors of each participating institution before and after the interventions will be evaluated through a written test.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of remote ischemic conditioning on cerebral hemodynamics in patients after intravenous thrombolysis
About 200000 cardiac operations are performed in China every year. Cardiopulmonary bypass is the basic strategy of open-heart surgery, which may lead to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and low cardiac output syndrome. It will inevitably affect the patient's postoperative recovery. A number of studies have shown that dexmedetomidine, as an auxiliary sedative, has the effects of inhibiting stress response, antiarrhythmia and cardiac protection.Dexmedetomidine has been widely used in anesthesia in cardiac surgery. However, at present, few clinical studies pay attention to its mechanism. In this study, dexmedetomidine will be used in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass to explore the mechanism of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury and the protective effect of dexmedetomidine.
A feasibility study to evaluate the initial safety and performance of the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System in the treatment of patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) due to Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) in the intracranial ICA, M1, M2, basilar or vertebral arteries.
Along with the current clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor administered within the first 24 hours of first-ever ischemic stroke compared to 300 mg clopidogrel were assessed through NIHSS, mRS, duration of hospital stay, and possible adverse effects.
The purpose is to investigate if different microparticles and markers of hemostasis predict outcome after TIA or ischemic stroke and to study the association between these variables and stroke subtype or etiology.
The investigators are suggtesting that lower goals of systolic blood pressure after intravenous thrombolysis may reduce the risk of hemorrhagic complications and improve functional outcomes after acute ischemic stroke.
Background:Ischemic heart disease is one of the heaviest health-related burdens worldwide.We aimed to identify the common hub mRNA and pathways that are involved in pathological progression of ischemic cardiomyopathy. Methods: To explore potential differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of all ischemic heart disease stages, we used chipster and GEO2R tools to analyze of retrieved eight high throughput RNA datasets obtained from GEO database. Gene Ontology functional annotation and Pathways enrichment analyses were used to obtain the common functional enriched DEGs which were visualized in protein-protein interactions (PPI) network to explore the hub mRNA according to the interaction scores. Validation qRT-PCR was carried out for blood and cardiac biopsies compared with controls to validate the determined four hub mRNAs and subsequently reviewed inside comprehensive published meta-analysis database. The validated mRNAs were visualized in two interaction modules. Finally screening of approved drugs was applied.
Isolated vertebral artery occlusions (VAO) account for approximately one third of posterior circulation occlusions, but have been given the least attention among posterior circulation strokes. If the two recent ATTENTION and BAOCHE randomized clinical trials have proven the superiority of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in basilar artery occlusions, data on the effectiveness and harm of acute revascularization treatment on isolated VAO is scarce. We aim to investigate the impact of acute recanalisation treatments in acute ischemic stroke patients with isolated VAO. In the absence of RCT, observational data with appropriate statistical methods may give indications on benefits and harms of treating neglected stroke situations like acute vertebral occlusion. Results may also lay the basis for prospective studies, such as randomized clinical trials.
This is a prospective, randomized, single blind, concurrent controlled, multi-center study. Patients presenting with symptoms of acute ischemic stroke who have evidence of a large vessel occlusion in the cerebral circulation.
