Filter by:Two diagnostic tools for TB screening in high risk groups need additional assessment: the AeoNose™, an 'electronic nose device' for breath sampling, and digital chest X-ray (CXR) with computer aided detection with CAD4TB® software. This study will systematically screen prisoners and its' employees for TB, test the diagnostic performance of AeoNose™ and CAD4TB (both individually and together) as a TB screening tool and and establish Mycobacterium tuberculosis epidemiology in Paraguayan prisons.
The primary aim of the current study is to examine the accuracy of the C-distance or surface landmarks in determining the length of central venous catheter (CVC) that is required to place the catheter tip at the mid-superior vena cava (SCV) as confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A secondary aim is to derive an equation or formula to calculate the depth of the CVC that is required in order to have the catheter tip placed at the mid-SVC.
In patients under general anesthesia, the prevention of intraoperative hypotension to maintain blood pressure (BP) close to the initial blood pressure, i.e. before anesthesia, is essential to reduce the risk of death and improve surgical outcomes. Vasoactive agents are commonly used to correct this hypotension (Phenylephrine Ephedrine Noradrenaline). These three vasoconstrictors have specific effects on the afterload of the heart and can impair its function. The analysis of the left ventricular pressure-volume curve (PV Loop) allows continuous information on the post-charge state of the left ventricle and the changes induced by the vasoconstrictors to be observed. However, the investigators currently have no way of monitoring these effects. In clinical practice if these loops are obtained non-invasively they can be used in the evaluation of cardiac function of at-risk patients in perioperative and also in intensive care to allow therapeutic adaptation.
To set up a Cooperative Network by enrolling 5000 patients with Adenomyosis(AM) from multiple centers.Based on the Network platform and Database,the investigators try to explore the diagnostic strategies for AM and carry out epidemiological survey on the semeiology of AM.In addiction，the investigators expect to conduct research on the effect and the follow-up fertility outcomes of different medical or surgical treatment, the etiology of AM and endometriosis,the perspective investigation of the malignant transformation of AM ;the high-risk factors of AM,and finally propel the formation of Expert Consensus and Clinical Guidelines about AM which suitable to chinese conditions.
