Active clinical trials for "Edema"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety end efficacy of combined phakoemulsification and vitrectomy with retinal endophotocoagulation and intraoperative use of bevacizumab in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema (DDME), to determine the possible preoperative and intraoperative factors that might influence surgical outcomes.

Diffuse Macular Edema is the main cause of visual disorders in diabetic patients. Diclofenac is a cheap drug available in most of treatment centers.in animal studies the safe dosage is identified that can be used in diffuse diabetic macular edema for treatment. in this study, we are going to compare the effect of intra vitreal injection of Diclofenac and Bevacizumab in primary treatment of diffuse diabetic macular edema.

Treatment of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion is more effective with combined therapy of bevacizumab and triamcinolone than bevacizumab alone.

Diabetic maculopathy is the leading cause of visual impairment in the working-age population in developed countries. Diabetic macular edema can cause impaired visual acuity and so far is treated by laser, vitreous surgery, and intravitreal cortisone application. Still 50% of the cases do not respond to the treatment. Recently intraocular anti-VEGF-treatment with ranibizumab (Lucentis®, Novartis) in diabetic macular edema has proven efficacy to last over a period of 3 to 6 months. Still, the optimal dosage for those intravitreal injections still has to be found, because frequent injections are necessary. The measurement of visual acuity is inadequate to quantify in detail the visual impairment. Using the newest technology of a high-definition optical coherence tomography (Cirrus-OCT, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc.) to determine the retinal thickness, and a miroperimetry (MP-1, Nidek Technologies) to determine retinal sensitivity, we hope to find the optimal dosage of intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment in diabetic macular edema. Study objective: To determine the dose response of 0.5mg and 1.0mg ranibizumab (Lucentis®, Novartis Pharma) intravitreal injection in subjects with resistant diabetic macular edema and evaluate safety and tolerability.

Intravitreal Bevacizumab is an effective treatment for the diffuse diabetic macular edema

Efficacy duration of triamcinolone acetonide (steroid) for treatment of diabetic macular edema. Furthermore, dosage dependency of triamcinolone acetonide comparing a high dosage versus a low dosage.

The main objective is to assess the validation of the diagnosis early acute pulmonary edema in elderly patients with acute respiratory distress, admitted in a host of vital emergency services by lung ultrasound associated with the measurement of the inferior vena cava.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy is non inferior to non invasive ventilation (NIV) in the immediate treatment of patients with acute hypercapnic cardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with respiratory failure in the emergency department.

This study aimed to compare intravitreous conbercept alone with conbercept plus intravitreous triamcinolone acetonide in DME eyes which showed limited response to anti-VEGF treatment after one injection.

The primary focus of this study is to understand the anatomic and visual outcomes of patients with refractory and suboptimal treatment response diabetic macular edema (DME) using anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to Ozurdex, an intravitreal dexamethasone implant. Secondly, investigators aim to understand the differences in cytokine profiles in patients who respond differently to intravitreal anti-VEGF versus Ozurdex. The importance of this study is to identify biomarkers that may help predict patients' response to different treatment protocols. Currently, Ozurdex is not covered by provincial health benefit plans for patients with DME. Our results may help improve access to care for those who have suboptimal results with or refractory to intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment.
