Active clinical trials for "Edema"

The aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of collecting respiratory parameters during recompensation following ADHF (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure)with non-invasive measurements. This could lead to a better understanding of how respiratory parameters may change during re-compensation therapy and could also be a comfortable method for patients.

Diabetic macular edema is a common cause of visual loss among diabetic patients. Studies have demonstrated the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the pathogenesis of edema. This study designed to evaluate the effect of Intravitreal injection of a recombinant monoclonal anti-VEGF antibody, Bevacizumab, for treatment of diabetic macular edema.

To report safety and efficacy of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in patients with cystoid macular edema secondary to cataract surgery.

The aim of this study is to assess the association between vitreous hyper-reflective dots (VHD) and the macular thickness changes following uneventful phacoemulsification. In this prospective study the investigators performed optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in patients undergoing cataract surgery preoperatively and postoperatively after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months and analyzed the OCTs for VHDs. The investigators then measured the macular thickness in patients with VHDs and without VHDs and correlated the macular thickness with the number of VHDs.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the real-world outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients.

Unilateral pulmonary edema after minimal-invasive mitral valve surgery is a rare but in some cases severe complications, sometimes causing extracorporeal life support. The investigators have observed over several years 5 cases of instantaneous postoperative severe pulmonary edema. This is a retrospective analysis of over 200 minimal-invasive mitral valve surgery procedure.

Retrospective cases series is a non-randomized, open-label, single-center investigation (Retina Clinic, São Paulo, Brazil) of patients diagnosed with macular edema secondary to diabetic retinopathy (DME) and retinal vein occlusions who underwent to simultaneous treatment with intravitreal injection of bevacizumab 1.25mg and implant of dexamethasone 0.7mg.

Sepsis is one of the most challenging conditions with an exceptionally high mortality rate. Diastolic Dysfunction is common in septic patients and has been found to be associated with mortality. However, the reasons for this remain unclear. Therefore, the goal of this study is to investigate diastolic dysfunction in septic patients on the intensive care unit. Special attention is paid to the presence of lung edema and general edema as a potential link between diastolic dysfunction and elevated mortality in septic patients. During the septic phase daily ultrasound examinations of heart and lung will be performed as to monitor diastolic function and lung edema.

This study evaluates the retinal vascular features in macula and papillary regions in patients affected by pseudophakic cystoid edema using optical coherence tomography angiography

Patients with diabetic macular edema who were switched to aflibercept after having been treated with bevacizumab or ranibizumab were retrospectively reviewed to assess for visual acuity and anatomic outcomes.
