Post-authorization Safety Study in Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Saudi Arabia Treated With Empagliflozin...
Diabetes MellitusType 2The objectives of this study are to assess the risk of ketoacidosis, severe urinary tract infections, volume depletion, and dehydration associated in patients with T2DM initiating Empagliflozin compared to patient initiating a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors over a 12-month period of follow-up, including the month of Ramadan
Microcirculation in Dehydrated Older Patients
DehydrationThis proof-of-concept study examines whether 1) sublingual measurement in dehydrated old patients is feasible, 2) frailty and incompliance in old, awake patients affects video-quality, 3) dehydration impacts microcirculation This prospective observational study includes clinically dehydrated patients aged ≥ 65 years, who have spontaneous circulation and access to the sublingual mucosa, immediately after admission. Dehydration will be assessed clinically. A sidestream dark field camera (SDF) will be used for measurement. Video-quality will be evaluated with MIQS (microcirculation image quality score). Both AVA 4.3C- and AVA POEM-software analyzed the videos. Seventeen patients ≥ 65 years not showing dehydration served as control.
Physical and Cognitive Effects of Fluoroscopy
DehydrationRadiation ExposureBackground and objectives: The researchers will perform this study to reveal the clinical meaning of fatigue, headache, diarrhea, and impaired cognitive functions that are often expressed verbally in healthcare professionals who are exposed to fluoroscopy. Methods: After obtaining written informed consent, 84 samples will be included in the study. For operating room employees who meet the criteria determined before and after the operation; mini-mental state examination, weight, heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure value, VAS score for headache, radiation exposure time on fluoroscopy device, Rad measurement with the help of personal dosimeter before and after surgery, and total time in the operating room will be recorded.
Hydration and Outcome in Older Patients
DehydrationDehydration is recognised as a major issue in healthcare. Recovery after illness, extended length of stay, pressure sores and slow tissue recovery can all be impacted by dehydration. One of the biggest problems for many people with regard to getting a drink is easy, independent access - if they can't reach the jug/cup without a struggle then they often will go thirsty and potentially become dehydrated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of dehydration on outcome in patients 65 years and over. Furthermore we aim to assess the impact of providing easy, 24 hour, independently accessible fluids on reducing dehydration as well as improving patient experience. We hypothesise that patients who are dehydration will take longer to recover from illness and stay in hospital for longer periods.
Multi-parameters'Change Process During Dehydration Therapy on Brain Edema Patients.
Hemodynamic InstabilityWater on the Brain1 moreThis study aims to investigate the inner mechanism during different dehydration therapies such as mannitol injection and hypertonic saline. The investigators used a self-made near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) instrument to monitor the physiological changes noninvasively including oxyhemoglobin ([HbO2]), deoxy-hemoglobin ([Hb]), the derived change in blood volume ([tHb]) and water concentration on the forehead of brain edema patients.
Endothelial Dysfunction in Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Hyperemesis; GravidarumWith DehydrationThe purpose of the study is to determine serum inflammatory adhesion molecules levels in hyperemesis gravidarum
Hiperemezis and Serotonin Elevated Serum Serotonin Levels in Hyperemesis
NauseaVomiting2 moreSerotonin excretion was investigated in the nausea and vomiting associated with hiperemezis gravid arum.
The Effects of Dehydration on the Performance of Judoka
DehydrationDehydration is a common phenomenon in judo that can lead to negative performance such as a decline in strength, a decline in anaerobic performance, a reduced body fluid balance, glycogen depletion and worsened psychological parameters. Therefore, we want to simulate several judo combats and look at the performances whether they change during a competition day. We also want to see if the results are different in a dehydrated versus euhydrated state.
Non-Invasive Optical Spectroscopic Methods for Dehydration Identification in Marathon Trainees
DehydrationDehydration can result from exposure to harsh environments including hot and dry desert climates. Soldiers and non-military workers are frequently required to work in hot, dry conditions, and dehydration can be productivity limiting and life threatening if unrecognized.
