Filter by:The purpose of this research is to learn more about how what the Apple watch measures, in terms of walking data, heart rate, breathing rate, and sleep habits, relates to how participants feel. During the course of the treatment, the symptoms participants experience change, and whether the Apple watch can detect these changes. Ultimately, this knowledge is being used to design proactive tools and signatures that can predict complications or symptom changes before they happen.
The thromboembolic disease is a common complication of patients admitted to conventional hospitalization units. To prevent such complications, thromboprophylaxis is indicated in high-risk patients identified with validated risk-assessment models such as Padua score and IMPROVE-VTE score. However, the relation between thromboembolic disease and inpatients is yet to be demonstrated in new clinical settings such as at home hospitalization units. Moreover, patient immobilization is key in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic complications: therefore, it is crucial to collect raw data of patient mobility during admission. The goal of this observational study is to compare the thromboembolic risk of patients admitted with acute medical diseases to at home hospitalization units with conventional hospitalization units. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the estimated thromboembolic risk of patients admitted with acute medical diseases to at home hospitalization units similar to those admitted to conventional hospitalization units? - Are the risk-assessment models used to predict thromboembolic risk of patients admitted with acute medical diseases to conventional hospitalization units (Padua and IMPROVE-VTE score) valid in at home hospitalization patients? Participants admitted with acute medical diseases to either a conventional hospitalization unit or at home hospitalization units will be included in a prospective registry in order to investigate the 90 days incidence of thromboembolic disease. A cohort of such patients will be controlled with triaxial accelerometer in order to collect raw data regarding patient mobility during admission.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate tailored duration of long-term anticoagulant treatment after a first venous thromboembolism based on individualized risk assessments of recurrent VTE and major bleeding risks. Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire and take a buccal swab, which are used for an individual estimation of the risks of recurrent VTE and bleeding. Based on these risks a treatment advise will be made, or randomised in a subgroup of patients.
This observational study aims to establish a prospective nationwide cohort of venous thromboembolism. The main questions it mains to answer are: - Which patients with venous thromboembolism should accept long-term anticoagulation therapy? - Mechanism and prognosis of venous thromboembolism. Participants will receive yearly follow-ups through telephone, hospitalization, or outpatient care.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE), is a major public health issue. VTE is the third most common acute cardiovascular pathology, after myocardial infarction and stroke. Diagnostic accuracy is essential in the case of VTE, in order to select patients for whom anticoagulant treatment is necessary, and to avoid long-term treatment of patients who will derive no benefit from it. The management of patients with suspected PE is based on diagnostic strategies that use either ventilation-perfusion planar lung scintigraphy or thoracic angioscanner imaging as the cornerstone. These 2 techniques correspond to what might be termed "negative" imaging, i.e. visualization of the vascular repercussions downstream of an obstruction, whatever its nature. A research prospect in the field of VTE diagnosis is the direct marking of the various elements of the active venous thrombus, which could correspond to "positive" thrombus imaging. Numerous studies have already investigated the role of molecular imaging in the diagnosis of VTE, especially in the diagnosis of DVT. However, these studies used conventional scintigraphy to evaluate these tracers, a technique lacking in sensitivity and with insufficient spatial resolution. Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have undergone a technological revolution since the early 2000s, with the development of positron emission tomography (PET). The technical advantages of PET over conventional scintigraphy include greater sensitivity and higher spatial resolution (4 mm for PET vs. 12 mm for conventional scintigraphy), which may have been the limiting factor in studies already carried out. The aim of this project is to develop a new radiopharmaceutical for use in PET scans, a biomarker of active venous thrombus, with a view to improving the diagnosis of MVTE and hence patient management.
DANHEP is a cluster randomized study of two different low molecular weight heparins. Parenteral anticoagulants are used in a variety of settings, including treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients, medical patients, and surgical patients, along with the use as adjuvant therapy for coronary syndromes. The most frequently used parenteral anticoagulants in Denmark, include the two different low molecular weight heparins; dalteparin and tinzaparin. The two drugs are considered equally efficient and safe regarding treatment and prevention of thrombosis and risk of bleeding. Importantly, there is a lack of evidence regarding whether these drugs are in fact comparable. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the comparative safety and efficacy of the two different low molecular weight heparins (dalteparin and tinzaparin using cluster randomization in patients with an indication for low molecular weight heparins.
The main research question of this study is to obtain further safety and effectiveness data on Pradaxa Pellets in children aged 3 months to less than 12 years in routine clinical practice setting.
This study will evaluate the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and possible determinants in patients with primary pancreatic cancer undergoing pancreatic cancer resection.
Malignant tumors are closely related to deep vein thrombosis, Pulmonary embolism and other diseases. Tumor patients usually have a hypercoagulable state (HCS) in their blood, and the proportion of thrombosis caused by HCS is more than 10 times that of non tumor patients. Conventional clinical testing methods such as coagulation function, blood routine, and thromboelastography are difficult to directly evaluate the hypercoagulable state of tumor patients. In addition, the widely used Khorana score and Caprini score systems in clinical practice need to be improved in accurately reflecting the hypercoagulable state of tumor patients. Our team has established a complete new coagulation time measurement system, including general clotting time (GCT), platelet rich plasma clotting time (PRP-CT), and platelet poor plasma clotting time (PPP-CT), which may be a new and accurate method for evaluating tumor hypercoagulability. The GCT study aims to evaluate: 1. The time of GCT, PRP-CT, and PPP-CT for malignant tumors is shorter than that of normal individuals, and some patients are in a hypercoagulable state; 2. The shortened time of GCT, PRP-CT, and PPP-CT may be associated with future thrombosis; 3. Evaluating the relationship between shortened GCT system time and overall tumor survival Therefore, the GCT system evaluation may identify patients who are truly in a hypercoagulable state, providing monitoring indicators for subsequent anticoagulation; It can also be evaluated whether GCT time can reflect the prognosis of tumor patients.
A study of how supplemental oxygen helps patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Hypothesis: Oxygen affects right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) primarily by relieving hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and reducing pulmonary pressure (PA) pressure, and that this process is metabolically driven.
