Filter by:This study investigates electrical acupoint stimulation (EAS) administered in peri-operation for improving postoperative recovery in elder patients, who accept knee arthroplasty. the surgery cause to change of stress response, which might be associated with postoperative recovery of patient Totally, three groups are created, 1/3 participants receive transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation, 1/3 participants receive electroacupuncture, the rest 1/3 will use sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation.
This trial aims at determining if dabigatran is effective in the treatment of malignancy associated VTE. Tolerance and safety of dabigatran will also be assessed. This is a single armed trial of dabigatran in patients with malignancy associated VTE. The target recruitment is 99 consecutive patients with active malignancy and newly diagnosed VTE (deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) in Queen Mary Hospital. Tinzaparin 175 iu/kg daily will be started after the diagnosis of VTE is confirmed (duplex Doppler ultrasonography for deep vein thrombosis, and computed tomography for pulmonary embolism), and a written consent is obtained. Patients will be switched to dabigatran 150mg twice daily from day 6 onwards. The first dose of dabigatran will be given within 2 hours before the time that the next dose of tinzaparin would have been due. Anticoagulation will be continued as long as malignancy is active. If patients achieve a complete remission of their underlying malignancies, dabigatran will be continued for 6 months further.
FEVRIER study is an observatory of hospitalizations in cardiology units in sub-Saharan Africa.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized (1:1), open-label study with two parallel groups. This study is planned to investigate the efficacy and safety of dabigatran etexilate comparing with warfarin for the treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis.
Plastic and reconstructive surgeons consistently create large, raw surfaces as part of their operative procedures. Thus, plastic & reconstructive surgery patients are among those at highest risk for anticoagulant-associated bleeding adverse drug events (ADEs). This study seeks to optimize both the safety and effectiveness of post-operative enoxaparin by comparing aFXa levels, bleeding events, and VTE events among plastic & reconstructive surgery patients randomized to receive two different enoxaparin dose regimens.
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis may be due to neoplastic growth or non-neoplastic causes. - Treating PVT with anticoagulation in liver cirrhosis is difficult to be established but may be of great benefit in acute symptomatic PVT. - The ultimate goal is complete recanalization of the portal vein without inducing major bleeding, abnormal liver function tests or increased mortality.
The goal of this study is to develop strategies that will improve outcomes for patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), using in vivo FDG-PET inflammation imaging to better predict the development of the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). New approaches are needed to improve the outcomes of patients with DVT, a disease that affects up to 600,000 patients per year in the US alone. DVT acutely places patients at risk of death from pulmonary embolism and causes 50,000 deaths annually in the US. Moreover, up to 30-50% of patients will develop PTS, an illness characterized by inflammation-driven fibrotic vein wall injury, and persistent thrombus obstruction. PTS occurs despite anticoagulant therapy, and produces chronic disability from leg pain, heaviness, edema, skin pigmentation, and ulcers; some patients may even require amputation. PTS impairs quality of life to the same extent as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or diabetes. Therefore new diagnostic insights into PTS are urgently needed. There are several major challenges to improve outcomes in PTS: A) Limited in vivo knowledge regarding inflammation and the development of PTS; B) L Lack of predictive approaches to identify patients at high risk for PTS that will preferentially benefit from novel therapies. Recently, our laboratories have harnessed FDG-PET molecular imaging to illuminate DVT inflammation in vivo, and to provide a new strategy to diagnose recurrent DVT, a vexing clinical problem (Hara et al. Circulation 2014). We now propose to further develop FDG-PET to improve outcomes in DVT and PTS. The objective of this application is to develop FDG-PET as an inflammation imaging approach to assess DVT inflammation and predict risk of developing PTS in human subjects; Hypothesis 1A: Inflammatory activity in DVT (quantified acutely, using FDG-PET imaging within 0-7 days after DVT) will predict PTS incidence (primary) and severity (secondary) within a 24 month follow-up period. Hypothesis 1B: Inflammatory activity in DVTs (quantified sub-acutely, using FDG-PET imaging within 21-28 days after DVT), will predict PTS incidence and severity. Eighty patients with DVT will be imaged using FDG-PET/CT acutely (0-7 days of DVT diagnosis), and sub-acutely (21-28 days after diagnosis). Subjects will be evaluated repeatedly for up to 2 years to detect clinical evidence of PTS (Villalta score), ultrasound findings for structural venous injury, and soluble biomarkers of systemic inflammation. Subsequently, we will evaluate the relationship between FDG DVT activity and the development of PTS.
-Rivaroxaban is factor Xa inhibitor
In past few years new anticoagulants have been developed which directly inhibit thrombin or factor X.factor x inhibitor is available in Pakistan. The superior efficacy of Rivroxaban has been shown in Deep Venous Thrombosis in EINSTEIN study (3).Its definite superiority in prevention of embolic stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is evidenced by the study ROCKET AF (4). With Rivroxaban no monitoring is required, and also there are no drug interactions .There are few pilot studies of using Rivroxaban in cerebral venous thrombosis. This study is therefore required to find its efficacy in CVT patients as well as its comparison with Coumadin
SECRET examines the safety of rivaroxaban versus standard-of-care for treatment of symptomatic cerebral venous thrombosis, initiated within 14 days of diagnosis.
