Active clinical trials for "Edema"

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a non invasive technique used to obtain functional and anatomical information on the heart. Several CMR parameters measured after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) have been shown to have prognostic value and are increasingly being used as surrogate endpoints in clinical trials. Myocardial oedema is a prognostic indicator following myocardial infarction1. Myocardial salvage is calculated as the myocardial oedema minus infarct size; this again is a prognostic indicator following STEMI. However, myocardial oedema imaging is controversial. There are multiple sequences available, with no standardisation of sequences used to assess this surrogate endpoint. The investigators propose to conduct a study to measure the myocardial oedema by all available techniques to determine the agreement between these methods.

Epidemiological study of Ozurdex® in sites treating patients with retinal vein occlusion.

Idiopathic edema (IE) is an ill-defined syndrome of uncertain etiology that occurs virtually exclusively in women. It has also been referred to as cyclical edema, periodic edema, fluid retention syndrome and orthostatic edema. The present studies were designed to 1. Improve our ability to identify patients with idiopathic edema by extending the clinical criteria from an increase in weight of > 1.4 kg between 8 AM to 10 PM to the inclusion of nocturia, a very important component to the history. Additional aims are to: 2. Demonstrate orthostatic weight gain with or without edema in idiopathic edema and autonomic failure that will identify a greater number of patients suffering from variable degrees of weight gain and compare to controls or other conditions associated with edema. The study will focus mainly on subjects with polycystic ovaries and autonomic failure. 3. Provide a reasonable course of therapy that is presently not well defined. 4. Provide evidence that orthostatic edema or weight gain has two common etiologies, a. an increase in vascular membrane as in idiopathic edema and b. pooling of blood in the lower extremities in autonomic failure due to a lack of vascular tone.

This study will evaluate the relationship between time since onset of macular oedema symptoms and the achievement of vision gain in patients prescribed OZURDEX®. All care and diagnostic procedures provided are at the discretion of the participating physicians according to their clinical judgment and local standard of medical care.

Literature reports the development of brain oedema following the use of certain drugs. Therefore, this study aims to present a comprehensive disproportionality analysis of brain oedema cases reported to the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Evaluate the ability and accuracy of the Retinal Health Monitoring System - Retinal Thickness Module (RHMS - RTM).

This retrospective chart review study will describe the history of patients with retinal disease with macular edema to whom OZURDEX® (dexamethasone intravitreal implant) is administered, and assess treatment patterns and visual outcomes. OZURDEX® was previously administered according to general clinical practice.

Does diabetic patients' glycemic control affect their response to laser and/or intravitreal injection therapy in terms of visual and anatomical outcomes.

The hypothesis of this observational single-center clinical study was to explore the volumetric hemodynamic monitoring in the perioperative period in major and risky thoracic intervention. The investigators monitored the changes in the volumes of blood in the central vessels and heart chambers as well as a volume of fluid in pulmonary tissue (i. e. extravascular lung water).

Establish the efficacy of initial high frequency loading of intravitreal pegaptanib bi-weekly during the initial treatment period when the VEGF levels are the greatest and then gradually extending the administration frequency to monthly as homeostasis ensues for the treatment of DME, as measured by best-corrected visual acuity.
