Filter by:Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a genetic condition characterized by bone marrow failure, medical co-morbidities, and leukemia predisposition. SDS-Like patients share clinical features with SDS but lack mutations in known SDS genes. Since SDS/SDS-Like syndromes are rare diseases, data are sparse regarding the clinical features, natural history, clinical outcomes with current management, and treatment. For this reason, the SDS Registry was formed to collect clinical data from medical records and to bank biological samples with the goal of understanding SDS/SDS-Like diseases to develop better treatments and improve the health of patients with these conditions.
There is a need to re-evaluate the patients classified as NCPH and determine whether the new histological classification proposed by the VALDIG applies to the Indian scenario. We intend to identify the patient cohorts who have been diagnosed as NCPH, NCPF, EHPVO, hepatic venous outlet tract obstruction (HVOTO), Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) based on their liver biopsy, endoscopy, HVPG, and radiology reports. These patients will be screened to find the patients who fit the diagnosis of PSVD. It is important to establish whether the new definition of PSVD is relevant to the Indian population and establish the usefulness of invasive tests like liver biopsy in diagnosing the disease. The patient cohorts meeting diagnosis of INCPH will be compared with those meeting the new diagnosis of PSVD. The investigators will describe the clinical (demographic, clinical risk factors, socioeconomic status), etiological (associated conditions, coagulation disorders medication use, genetic risk factors), imaging (based on ultrasound Doppler imaging or cross- sectional imaging), endoscopic, fibrosis tests (using non-invasive tests), and the histopathology of the patients who fulfil the criteria of PSVD.
Refeeding Syndrome is a condition that occurs when patients who are undernourished or undernourished suddenly start overfeeding, causing electrolyte disturbances and vitamin deficiencies, resulting in neurological and cardiac problems. It may even result in death. It is aimed to prevent the development of Refeeding Syndrome with nutrition in accordance with the guidelines. The aim of this study is to determine the risk factors for Refeeding Syndrome in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of the two IOL implantation methods for eyes with cataract and PEX in a single-center and with highly experienced surgeons. The goal is to acquire relevant information regarding these two IOL implantation techniques, which will help surgeons to decide which approach to choose, ultimately resulting in a benefit for patients with PEX syndrome who require cataract surgery. The main questions are: Is there a difference in lens tilt and decentration between the both methods. Is there a difference in the frequency and amount of capsular phimosis between the both methods.
The investigators developed a GMP protocol to isolate Treg cells from thymic tissue (thyTreg). The thyTreg cells are being evaluated in a Phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the adoptive transfer of autologous thyTreg to prevent rejection in heart transplant children (NCT04924491), with preliminary results indicating the feasibility and safety of the therapy. In addition, thyTreg cells have shown low immunogenicity in the pre-clinical setting, indicating that allogeneic use of these thyTreg cells (allo-thyTreg) would have a low risk of adverse effects. These thyTreg cells could inhibit an excessive inflammation in SARS-CoV-2 infection, or ameliorate the immunological affection underlying Acute respiratory distress syndrome, improving life-threatening manifestations, restoring immune balance, and protecting affected tissues. This clinical trial is an open-label Sequential Parallel Group Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic thymus derived Tregs (thyTreg) (thyTreg) in controlling the immune dysregulation associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Mechanical ventilation is a critical intervention in the management of pediatric patients with respiratory distress. During this process, accurate measurement of transpulmonary pressure (PL) is essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of ventilation. PL is defined as the difference between alveolar pressure (Palv) and pleural pressure (Ppl). While the direct measurement of Ppl is possible, it poses a risk to tissue integrity. Thus, the primary surrogate for Ppl measurement today is esophageal pressure (Pes). However, the measurement of Pes is not without challenges. This abstract outlines the pitfalls associated with Pes measurement, emphasizing the importance of employing well-defined procedures to mitigate potential errors. These errors can range from underestimation of Pes due to underfilled catheters to overestimation resulting from overfilled catheters. To address these challenges and optimize Pes measurement, various methods have been proposed for titrating the filling volume of the esophageal catheter. In this study, investigators aim to assess a faster decremental filling method and compare it to the traditionally accepted Mojoli method in the context of pediatric patients. This research seeks to enhance the intensivists' understanding of the most efficient and accurate approach to Pes measurement during mechanical ventilation in the pediatric population, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and outcomes
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome on the intensive care unit. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the mechanical power during flow-controlled ventilation lower than during pressure-controlled ventilation - To gain more understanding about other physiological effects and potential benefits of flow-controlled ventilation in comparison to pressure-controlled ventilation (o.a. the end-expiratory lung volume and homogeneity of ventilation). Participants will be randomized between two ventilation mode sequences, being 90 minutes of FCV followed by 90 minutes of PCV or vice versa.
Patients with a non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) are currently transported and admitted to the nearest emergency department (ED) for risk stratification, diagnostic workup, and treatment. Recently, several prospective studies have been performed on the diagnostic performance of point-of-care (POC)-troponin and combined risk scores (CRS) for pre-hospital risk assessment and triage of NSTE-ACS patients. Also the first intervention trials on triage decisions based on POC troponin and CRS have been performed. Initial results are indicating that prehospital triage based on these diagnostic tools is feasible and safe, although sample sizes were relatively small and underpowered to detect differences in major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The objective of this individual patient data meta-analysis is to determine the diagnostic performance of POC troponin and combined risk scores for prehospital risk assessment and triage in suspected NSTE-ACS patients.
PCOS is the most common endocrine disorder of reproductive aged women. In addition to menstrual and endocrine abnormalities, PCOS is characterized by insulin resistance and glycemic dysregulation. The pattern of glycemic abnormalities among patients with PCOS may be different than the general population, as evidenced by invasive, time consuming, and costly procedures such as the euglycemic clamp or oral glucose tolerance test. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers an opportunity to evaluate glycemic status in real world conditions. Furthermore, use of a CGM has been found to improve glycemic status among those with prediabetes and diabetes, but little is known about utility among patients with PCOS. The investigators thus seek to 1) characterize glycemic status using CGM among patients with PCOS and 2) assess the impact of CGM use on metabolic and reproductive health in patients with PCOS.
The aim of this clinical study is to find out how well Patidegib Gel 2% works in preventing new basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) developing on the face of adults with Gorlin syndrome, and how safe Patidegib Gel 2% is to use. Participants will apply either Patidegib Gel 2% or a Vehicle Gel (with no active drug substance) to their face twice a day for a year (12 months). The number of new BCCs on the face will be compared between participants who used Patidegib Gel 2% or Vehicle Gel after 12 months.
