Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

Rational: The main danger with intracranial aneurism is its rupture conjugated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) occurrence. SAH is a severe pathology leading not only to neurological but also extra cerebral disorders. The major cause of morbidity and mortality when developing a SAH is the secondary development of a delayed cerebral ischemia consecutive to a prolonged vasospasm of cerebral arteries. The understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of SAH complication, such as vasospasm which is the more frequent, is essential. Vasospasm is defined as a reversible shrinking of an artery lumen diameter in the subarachnoid space, beginning generally between 4 and 12 days after the hemorrhage. Such a vasospasm could have a huge clinical impact leading to delayed neurological ischemic deficiency in 17 to 40 % of cases. Up to day, mechanisms involved in vasospasm occurrence are not well described. Disposing of well-established genetics and transcriptomics databases along with cerebral ischemia and inflammation is essential to unravel the mechanisms leading to vasospasm occurrence on SAH patients. It will enable researchers to better comprehend SAH pathology and elaborate an efficient and individualized therapeutic strategy to SAH acute phase in order to reduce the risk of vasospasm occurrence. Aims: 1) Constitute DNA and RNA Biobank via blood proofing oh SAH patients 2) Constitute a database grouping clinical and biological data 3) Look for genetic and transcriptomic early markers via genomic approaches 4) Correlate these different markers with vasospasm occurrence and clinical evolution of the patients Study: Patients inclusion will be done following their admission (D1) in the " unité de réanimation neurochirurgicale" of Pitié-Salpètrière Hospital. After obtaining of the informed consent, blood proofing will be realized daily during 12 days: one daily 2.5ml tube for the transcriptomic study and a single 10ml EDTA tube for genetic analyses. Clinical and biological follow-up will be performed as usual. 200 patients will be initially included during 2 to 3 years for the transcriptomic study of which 1/3 will develop vasospastic complication. The transcriptomic study will thus be performed by comparing patients developing or not developing this complication Expected Results: Unravel vasospasm early genetic markers.

Premature infants are at high risk for variations in blood pressure and oxygenation during the first few days of life. The immaturity of the premature brain may further predispose these infants to death or the development of neurologic problems. The relationship between unstable blood pressure and oxygen levels and brain injury has not been well elucidated. This study investigates the utility of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a non-invasive oxygen-measuring device, to identify preterm infants at highest risk for brain injury or death.

Postpartum hemorrhage is an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. In patients with severe preeclampsia there is an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage but the hemodynamic changes associated with this pathology make the management of any kind of bleeding particularly troublesome. There are many pharmacological options, being oxytocin the first line of treatment. However there is no evidence about the safety and efficacy of carbetocin, an oxytocin agonist. The investigators aimed to compare oxytocin with carbetocin for the routine prevention of postpartum hemorrhage in patients with severe preeclampsia.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pre and intra-operative bevacizumab injection on postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after diabetic vitrectomy in comparison to vitrectomy without bevacizumab injection.

after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) of early gastric cancer, conventional proton pump(PPI) inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists have a controversial effect on preventing bleeding from artificial ulcers. the aim of this study was to investigate whether a stronger acid suppression (high dose PPI) more effectively prevents bleeding after ESD

This study examined the effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) exposure on adverse outcome in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. For infants included in the NICHD Neonatal Research Network Generic Database whose mothers were given prenatal MgSO4, data were prospectively collected on maternal/infant conditions and magnesium exposure (including indications, timing and duration of exposure).

The objective is to describe and quantify levels of platelet reactivity in three different cohorts of patients taking thienopyridine: patients who report nuisance bleeding, patients who report alarming bleeding, and patients who report no nuisance or alarming bleeding. The investigators hypothesize that patients with nuisance or alarming bleeding events on maintenance thienopyridine therapy will have lower levels of platelet reactivity than patients without nuisance or alarming bleeding on thienopyridine therapy.

In order to reduce bloodloss and need for transfusion to investigate the effect of colloid and crystalloid on coagulation assuming no difference between the groups.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs when small arteries in the brain rupture due to weakening by age, high blood pressure, and/or elevated cholesterol. In addition to artery rupture, recent data suggests that patients with ICH are also at risk for developing occlusion of arteries during the acute phase, called ischemic strokes. Data suggests these ischemic strokes can negatively impact patient outcomes. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is a sequence on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that is a sensitive marker for ischemic strokes in the brain. In this proposal, our primary aim is examine prospectively the effect DWI abnormalities have on functional outcomes in patients with ICH. Our hypothesis is that the DWI abnormalities found on MRI of the brain lead to worse functional outcomes in patients with ICH

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the effect of sublingual misoprostol is better than infusion oxytocin in reduction of blood loss at cesarean deliveries.
