Filter by:Catheter dysfunction and infections are the most common complications observed among patients with dialysis catheters for long-term dialysis ( CDLD ) . They are causing a worsening of the morbidity and mortality of patients , loss of quality of renal replacement therapy , a reduction in the duration of catheterization , as well as increased spending related to health care. The use of anti- reflux ( Tego ® , ICU Medical , USA, distributed by the Laboratory Hemotech , FRANCE ) valves reduces the rate of dysfunction and infections CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis ). Unpublished preliminary data suggest that these valves allow parallel use of interdialytic saline locks without increasing the risk of dysfunction. This strategy would therefore achieve significant savings usual interdialytic CDLD( catheters for long-term dialysis )locks ( including heparin) whose use is not devoid of potentially serious adverse events and whose health care costs have increased dramatically in recent years . Moreover, this would also produce savings in fibrinolytic treatment. A randomized controlled trial is needed to assess the effectiveness of TEGO ® valves in combination with saline locks on the risk of dysfunction CDLD(catheters for long-term dialysis ) .
This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of a novel mRNA diagnostic/prognostic classifier (interprets the expression of 29 host response mRNA biomarkers) from whole blood in adult patients presenting to emergency departments (ED) with suspected infection.
The majority of studies conducted on uremic toxins involve patients before end stage renal failure or dialysis patients. Only a few studies have focused on transplant patients. In addition, the relationship between serum concentrations of uremic toxins and immunosuppressive drug concentrations has never been studied to date. The investigator research hypothesis is that, due to the strong plasma protein binding of calcineurin inhibitors, an interaction with protein-bound uremic toxins could alter drug concentrations that explain difficulties in reaching therapeutic targets.
The purpose of this pilot study is to demonstrate the ability to warm critically ill patients with sepsis to a target temperature of 39°C
The study will provide information on cognitive impairment and Health related quality of life in patients surviving 12 months after acute brain injury, generate a hypothesis of useful variables to predict cognitive impairment or low levels of HRQoL, and potentially inform interventions for the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment following neuro-ICU stay.
At present, a number of projects related to MSCs have been approved for graft-versus-host disease, myocardial infarction, Crohn's disease and other diseases, indicating a strong therapeutic potential of MSCs. However, the efficacy of MSC-Exo for severely infected children is not fully evaluated. In our study, patients who met the inclusion criteria will be divided into trial group and control group. Clinical and demographic data, as well as treatment outcome will be collected from the electronic health record. This study will evaluate the application and therapeutic effect of MSC-Exo in severely infected children, and determine the Optimal dosage and infusion.
In severe infective patients who survive the initial inflammatory storm, the immune response often evolves toward a state of immunosuppression, which contributes to increased mortality and severe secondary hospital-acquired infections. However, the role of IL-6 and its receptor antagonists in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock is discussed controversially. To date, the efficacy and safety of IL-6 and its receptor antagonists in children with severe infection is not fully evaluated.
In severe infective patients who survive the initial inflammatory storm, the immune response often evolves toward a state of immunosuppression, which contributes to increased mortality and severe secondary hospital-acquired infections. However, the role of IL-1β and its receptor antagonists in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock is discussed controversially. To date, the efficacy and safety of IL-1β and its receptor antagonists in children with severe infection is not fully evaluated.
This study seeks to determine the the impact of COVID-19 on the incidence, characteristics, management and outcome of patients admitted to U.S. hospitals with non-COVID-19 related sepsis.
A randomized controlled clinical trial. 24 adult ICU patients will be recruited upon decision to administer fluid bolus of 500ml of crystalloid. The fluid will then be randomized to be infused at controlled room temperature or warmed to body temperature. Hemodynamic measurements will be made for 2 hours following the bolus, and laboratory values will be noted. The hypothesis is that part of the hemodynamic response will differed in response to cooling, and be larger in the cold group.
