Filter by:A randomized, double-blind and prospective trial meant to evaluate the use of Glibenclamide on acute aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients will allocated randomly in two groups, one for 05 mg daily intake of glibenclamide for 21 days and another for control with placebo. General clinical data and late cognitive status will be accessed in both groups.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerance of intravenous milrinone combined to the current standard treatment for cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Assessment of IV milrinone safety in this setting is mandatory before the conduction of a large study assessing its effectiveness.
The LOVIT study is a European prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm feasibility trial designed to determine the safety and angiographic effectiveness through 30 days post treatment with Lumenate Intraluminal Device in the treatment of symptomatic vasospasm.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antipyretic effect of bromocriptine in critically-ill patients with acute neurologic injury and fever from infectious and non-infectious etiologies.
Vitamin D has been promoted to vascular regeneration in non-cerebral arteries because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) as the most feared complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), correlated with higher mortality and poor outcome, is the result of a multifactorial mechanism with inflammation as one of the main role players. The investigators therefore hypothesized that vitamin D attenuates cerebral vasospasm and increases the chance for favorable outcome after SAH.
Aqueduct's Smart External Drain (SED) will be compared to the current gold standard for temporary CSF management in a hospital setting. - Evaluate the number of subjects requiring to be switched to a standard of care EVD - Evaluate subject transport while on the SED - Evaluate SED system control from initiation of SED through discharge of external drain system
This study is a prospective, multi-centre, randomized,controlled trial to compare the efficacy of long-term mild hypothermia with normothermic intensive management in patients with poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The primary hypothesis is that the induction of mild hypothermia (maintained at 32-35℃) for at least 5 days would improve the outcome of patients at six months post hemorrhage compared with normothermia.
Serum uric acid level is a commonly measured biomarker. The association between serum uric acid level and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases has been observed in some studies, while others showed controversial results. Estimation of this association may help to predict cardiovascular outcomes and may guide new treatment strategies. The hypothesis is that increased serum uric acid level is associated with a range of cardiovascular diseases.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) consists of blood extravasation into the space between arachnoid and pia mater. Bleeding is a consequence of cerebral aneurysm rupture in most cases. Despite incidence being only 9 cases out of 1000 people per year, young age and high mortality and morbidity lead to loosing several years of healthy life. Therapy priorities are: preventing rebleeding, with endovascular treatment (when possible) or neurosurgical aneurism clipping; preventing complications associated with blood extravasation into subarachnoid pace, such as acute hydrocephalus treatment (that occurs in 20% of patients), by ventricular external drainage positioning, and delayed cerebral ischemia, mainly due to vasospasm, by endovenous administration of nimodipine; optimal perfusion pressure maintenance. Endogenous osteopontin (OPN) is thought to fulfill a protective activity over ischemic damage both in brain and other organs, including kidney. Besides, recombinant OPN administration markedly decreases ischemic area in a focal cerebral ischemia model, by an antiapoptotic action. Recent in vivo studies on animal models of SAH demonstrated that OPN plays a major role: treatment with OPN seems to prevent vasospasm reducing smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells apoptosis. Microparticles are mediators released by platelets, leucocytes, erythrocyte and endothelial cells. In ischemic stroke endothelial microparticles levels directly relate to clinical severity and ischemic area extension. In typical parenchymal haemorrhage microparticles levels are higher both in blood and in liquor and associated with worse clinical outcome. In SAH increased microparticle levels have been demonstrated, especially in the days of the bleeding, and microparticle levels change based on subtypes. Data disagree about the subtypes involved and their time course. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between OPN and microparticles levels and vasospasm development/ischemic lesion at the CT-scan, and subsequently with medium and long-term patients outcome.
Stroke is the first most common cause of death in China and one of the major causes of functional disability in the adult population.The burden of stoke is significantly increased in China in recent years. In order to investigate the prognosis of stroke, with diagnostic and treatment information of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and assess the effectiveness and safety of TCM for stroke in southern China, the investigators will conduct this multicenter prospective registry study in southern China. This study will recruit 10,000 consecutive eligible patients with acute stroke from more than 50 hospitals. 24 months follow-up will be carried out on-site in hospitals and by telephone to track endpoint (including all-cause mortality, composite cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events at one and two year follow up, and neurological and functional assessments).
