Active clinical trials for "Edema"

The purpose of this study is to identify Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) characteristics in eyes that show different response to treatment with anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) injections of Lucentis.

Some women develop swollen feet and ankles after a cesarean delivery. These women will often complain that their shoes are too tight and their feet may become numb or they may have some tingling in their feet. Currently we do not know for sure that foot swelling occurs after a cesarean delivery and if it does what the cause is. If we find that feet do swell after a cesarean delivery we may be able to suggest a cause. This may in the future prevent women developing excessive foot swelling. We aim to investigate whether the size and shape of women's ankles do change following an elective cesarean delivery. We plan to investigate, if possible, the cause of any foot swelling after a cesarean whether it be the volume of intra venous fluids or oxytocin use.

Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), one of the most severe forms of acute heart failure, represents 5% of hospital admissions. One of the most frequent phenomena encountered during ACPE is hypertensive crisis (hypertensive ACPE) but the mechanisms and causes of hypertensive ACPE are insufficiently understood. Few studies have evaluated the cardiac function during hypertensive ACPE, and these studies used only conventional echocardiography methods. New methods of evaluation of cardiac function in hypertensive ACPE (such as Tissue Doppler imaging) have not been used. The objectives of this study are to evaluate presence and role of the following potential mechanisms of hypertensive ACPE: 1. acute myocardial dysfunction (systolic and diastolic); 2. silent transient myocardial ischemia; 3. acute mechanical left ventricular dyssynchrony; 4. dynamic mitral regurgitation; 5. inter-ventricular interaction. Conventional and Tissue Doppler echocardiography will be used to assess cardiac function.

Patients who were diagnosed as postoperative CME and administrated with intravitreal OZURDEX injection were reviewed. Outcome will include best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and central macular thickness (CMT). Recurrent CME and corresponding treatments were recorded.

This is a study of OZURDEX® use in clinical practice in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).

this study was planned to investigate the antiinflammatory activity of preemptive intravenous ibuprofen on inflammatory complications such as edema and trismus after third molar tooth surgery

Influence of the vitreomacular interface on the progression of diabetic macular edema after treatment with intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors

The most common tool for diagnosis and follow up of cerebral edema in ICU is brain CT scan that necessitate patient transportation with risk of hemodynamic instability, and exposure to radiation. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography allows true and rapid imaging of blood flow velocities of intracranial vessels. Transcranial Doppler sonography provides noninvasive evaluation of intracranial pressure by its characteristic wave patterns

Retrospective clinical study to evaluate whether there is any correlation between the pre-hospital incidence of cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (CPE) in the selected region and the space weather parameters.

The purpose of this study is to identify the severity level distribution at the moment of diagnosis, in diabetic patients with macular edema from a Mexico City sample, and to identify the rate with severe macular edema that needed immediate treatment.
