Scapholunate Advanced Collapse (SLAC)Scapholunate Crystalline Advanced Collapse (SCAC)11 more

The goal of this observational study is to learn about functional and patient reported outcomes in patient undergoing total wrist replacement with the KinematX total wrist replacement study. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the range of motion (flexion, extension, radial, ulnar, grip and pinch strength) at 3-, 6-, and 12-months after surgery and yearly up to 10 years among patients having total wrist replacement with the KinematX implant. What are the patient reported outcomes (PROMIS, PRWE, HSS wrist expectations) at 3-, 6-, and 12-months after surgery and yearly up to 10 years among patients having total wrist replacement with the KinematX implant. How do range of motion and patient reported outcomes change over the 10 years after total wrist replacement surgery? Participants will be followed according to standard of care and preoperative and post-operative information for up to 10 years after surgery will be collected and entered into an electronic data base. Patients are eligible to enroll into the registry before or after they have had their wrist replacement surgery.

Assessment of Fluid Responsiveness in Septic Shock Patients, Can End-tidal co2 Measurement Help?...

Septic ShockHypovolemia1 more

Fluid therapy is important in patients with sepsis and septic shock. There are many invasive and non-invasive methods to assess fluid responsiveness in patients. The specificities and sensitivities of these methods are highly variable. The reason for our study was to determine end-tidal co2 and fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the fluid response using the End-tidal CO2 difference in septic shock patients receiving intubated mechanical ventilation support.

Diastolic Dysfunction in Septic Shock and Cardiomyopathy Genetic Variants

Diastolic DysfunctionSeptic Shock1 more

Sepsis is a life-threatening infection with increasing incidence, and its spectrum of disease can involve cardiac dysfunction, which further adds to mortality. Although cardiac involvement in sepsis has been classically attributed to systolic dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction is increasingly diagnosed due to new echocardiographic techniques and the conceptual evolution of diastolic dysfunction. Combining systolic and diastolic dysfunction assessment could lead to a better diagnosis of septic cardiac dysfunction. Furthermore, earlier forms of septic cardiac dysfunction could be more promptly recognized by measuring novel and less used parameters of diastolic dysfunction. We hypothesize that left atrium (LA) strain and isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) derived intervals could be new and earlier predictors of diastolic dysfunction in septic patients with a potential impact on clinical presentation and prognosis and that rare genetic variation associated with inherited cardiomyopathies could underline the risk and severity of sepsis-related myocardial dysfunction with potential impact on diagnosis and prognosis.

The Clinical and Hemodynamic Course of Cardiogenic Shocks Hospitalized in Critical Care

Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is a frequent reason for hospitalization in critical care units, with high mortality (50%). Several French registries have been created to improve knowledge of the prognostic factors of cardiogenic shock. In recent years, temporary mechanical circulatory support has become more important in cardiogenic shock. The monitoring of catecholamines is also performed with a global score: the vaso-inotropic score. The purpose of our study is to consider using these new data and techniques to create a cohort of cardiogenic shock within our critical care unit. This observational study is based on clinical, biological, and hemodynamic data recorded during the ICU stay of patients for cardiogenic shock. The primary endpoint is the relationship between the hemodynamic evolution of cardiogenic shock and in-hospital mortality.

LATIN SHOCK: Latin American Registry of Cardiogenic Shock in the Context of Acute Coronary Syndrome...

Cardiogenic ShockAcute Coronary Syndrome

This is a Registry of the characteristics and clinical evolution of patients admitted for acute coronary syndromes (with or without st segment elevation) who present with cardiogenic shock or develop it during the hospitalization period. Cardiogenic shock is a rare pathology, but it constitutes the leading cause of mortality in patients hospitalized for acute infarction myocardium. Its incidence ranges between 7 and 10% of the cases of infarction1 and is associated with a mortality of 40-50% despite revascularization and the use of Intra-Aortic Counterpulsation Balloon. Most of the bibliography on this subject is North American and has a lot of years and the one currently published shows mostly the results of different ventricular supports that are not used routinely in our countries. So far there is no record that reports the reality of Latin America. Only in Argentina, a registry has been carried out (Re Na Shock) but more than 5 years have passed since its publication. In the last years have even changed the management guidelines for this pathology and have been published works that could have changed previous behaviors . This is a project of the Argentine Society of Cardiology to collect data epidemiological and current management of cardiogenic shock in Latin America.

Monitoring of Cerebral Blood Flow in Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation ComplicationCerebral Circulatory Failure

Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a supportive therapy, indicated in case of severe, possibly reversible pulmonary failure, refractory to conventional therapies. Despite advances, morbidity and mortality remain high. Severe neurological complications can occur during ECMO, but their exact etiology is not well understood. It is hypothesized that fast correction of severe hypercapnia, a common indication for venovenous ECMO, may be detrimental for the brain. The supposed mechanism is that fast correction of hypercapnia may result in massive cerebral vasoconstriction and impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF). In this prospective, observational study the aim is to quantify change in CBF during routine initial correction of severe hypercapnia during VV-ECMO. Furthermore, the investigators will record any other hemodynamic changes during VV-ECMO. The hypothesis is that a larger decline in PaCO2 will result in a larger decline of CBF.

Simplified Assessment of Left Ventricular Systolic Function in Septic Shock Patients

Left Ventricular Systolic DysfunctionSeptic Shock

The assessment of left ventricular systolic function is based on the measurement of left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) by the Simpson biplane method. More recently, left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) has been developed to detect abnormalities of cardiac contractility in patients with preserved myocardial contractility. However, both tools are not always easy to collect in practice. This is why other ultrasound parameters have been proposed in the literature as a substitute for LVEF and GLS such as the Doppler tissue imaging (DTI)-derived mitral annular systolic peak S-wave velocity (S'), the mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and the longitudinal wall fractional shortening index (LWFS). The purpose of this project is to propose an algorithm using simple parameters (S' wave, lateral MAPSE, septal MAPSE, mean MAPSE and LWFS) to predict LVEF and GLS in order to diagnose patients with impaired systolic function and preserved ejection.

Cause of Unexplained Anaphylaxis

Idiopathic AnaphylaxisDrug Anaphylaxis2 more

This study will explore the possible cause of unexplained, or idiopathic, anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a rapid, life-threatening, severe reaction that occurs suddenly after contact with an allergy-causing substance, usually a particular food, drug or stinging insect. The allergen triggers mast cells to release several substances, including histamine. Histamine is responsible for many of the symptoms that may occur, such as flushing, hives, swelling of the palms and soles or tongue and vocal cords, nasal congestion, itching and tearing of the eyes, shortness of breath and wheezing, stomach pain, vomiting, low blood pressure, loss of consciousness, shock, and, rarely, death. Severe episodes of anaphylaxis are treated with epinephrine (adrenaline), followed by oral antihistamines and steroids. In more than half of cases of anaphylaxis, a clear cause is not identified. These cases are called idiopathic anaphylaxis. There is no cure or long-term preventive therapy for patients with recurrent episodes of idiopathic anaphylaxis. People between 13 and 70 years of age who have idiopathic anaphylaxis, or have anaphylaxis that is caused by specific allergens such as food, venom, or drugs and medications may be eligible for this study. Participants are evaluated at the NIH Clinical Center with the following tests and procedures: Medical history, physical examination and blood tests. Bone marrow biopsy. For this test, the skin over the hipbone and the outer surface of the hipbone itself are numbed with local anesthesia. Then, a needle is inserted into the hipbone and a small amount of bone marrow is drawn into a syringe. The needle also cuts a small core of bone marrow, which is removed for analysis. Other tests that may be needed for evaluation of the patient s condition.
