Active clinical trials for "Acute Disease"

To determine whether an average population of males and females who smoke 10 pack years or more of cigarettes in a primary care setting with chronic bronchitis has already developed significant changes on pulmonary function testing.

The presence or development of AKI impacts on outcomes in patients presenting with acute conditions to the ED. As a result, treating physicians are often concerned with the risk of AKI and take such risk in consideration when making subsequent therapeutic and diagnostic decisions which may result in delaying or withholding therapeutic measures in order to prevent further kidney damage (i.e. avoid imaging studies with contrast media). If clinicians could be informed early that a patient is at minimal risk for AKI, they could deploy timely and optimal diagnostic and treatment procedures for the underlying disease of the patient without major concerns for causing or exacerbating kidney damage

This is a retrospective review study to evaluate the histopathological findings post appendectomy

Aim: To investigate if the results of CRP and leucocytes had any positive or negative influence on the surgeon's decision-making when handling patients with suspected AA.

Endophthalmitis is a serious eye infection of exogenous origin (post-operational, post-traumatic) or endogenous origin (metastatic). This is a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. Each patient suffering from endophthalmitis must have immediately an ocular sampling, an intra ocular injection of antibiotics and a systemic antibiotic cover. The etiological treatment will be adapted according to the infectious agent.

The purpose of this study is to see whether a Virtual Ward reduces readmissions after hospital discharge.

Background. Acute respiratory infections in childhood have high incidence and morbimortality rates, generating significant sanitary and social costs. Due to its diversity of manifestations and clinical forms, the degree of severity varies widely. Published acute respiratory infections assessment severity scales are mainly focused on acute bronchiolitis, but there is no validated scale to evaluate the effects of respiratory physiotherapy in acute respiratory infections in children. Objective. To study the usefulness of the Acute Bronchiolitis Severity Scale to assess children under 24 months suffering from acute respiratory infections susceptible to receive outpatient respiratory physiotherapy treatment. Methods. Pre-post assessment descriptive study using the Acute Bronchiolitis Severity Scale. Children under 24 months suffering from acute respiratory infection will be evaluated during the first outpatient respiratory physiotherapy treatment.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic yield and accuracy of bedside emergency physician performed ultrasound in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Under the joint efforts of genetic and intensive expert, to establish the high-throughput whole exon sequencing(WES) and analysis all the possible pathogenic genes. To provide patient with the appropriate treatment for genetic disease. Besides, it can identify the genetic factor of idiosyncrasy or susceptibility to explain the medical difficulties and give patients personalized advice.

Aims of this study are : Estimate the incidence of A.A. in patients above age of 30 y in 4 age groups . Correlate between different clinical aspects and histopathological results. Determine rate of negative appendectomy in those patients.
