Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

Administration of steroid to the mother in imminent preterm delivery is a known effective practice to decrease the risk of respiratory distress syndrome and intraventricular haemorrhage in preterm infants if given with a week of the preterm delivery. This randomized clinical trial is performed to test the possibility whether the repeat dose of steroid results in further reduction of these diseases in case the mother is in imminent preterm delivery more than a week after the first antenatal steroid treatment.

A prospective randomized study to compare the adjunctive use of high dose omeprazole infusion against scheduled second endoscopy in prevention of peptic ulcer rebleeding after therapeutic endoscopy.

This trial is conducted in Asia and Europe. The trial is planned to investigate the effectiveness and safety of NovoSeven® in patients with advanced cirrhosis and active variceal bleeding.

Although the role of surgical treatment is still controversial, surgical evacuation of intracerebral hematoma is a frequent practice. Rebleeding is a frequent complication in patients submitted to hematoma evacuation. It has been reported that smaller postoperative volume of hematoma is associated with a better outcome. The investigators hypothesize that the administration of Factor VIIa (Eptacog alfa) immediately after surgical evacuation of the hematoma can reduce postoperative rebleeding. Aims of the Study: This study will investigate: The efficacy of Eptacog alfa in preventing or reducing rebleeding after surgery for spontaneous supratentorial ICH; and The safety of product administration

To determine whether scatter argon laser photocoagulation can prevent the development of neovascularization. To determine whether peripheral scatter argon laser photocoagulation can prevent vitreous hemorrhage. To determine whether macular argon laser photocoagulation can improve visual acuity in eyes with macular edema reducing vision to 20/40 or worse.

The investigators will include those patients with adherent clot on gastric or duodenal ulcers after endoscopic confirmation After receiving well explanation and giving written consent, they are enrolled and will be allocated to 2 groups randomly. Those in the first group will receive intravenous omeprazole 40 mg stat and then 40 mg q12h. Those in the second group will receive intravenous omeprazole 80 mg stat and then 8mg/hr infusion. The patients in both groups will receive intravenous omeprazole for 3 days and then oral esomeprazole qd for further treatment of peptic ulcer. The investigators define rebleeding during admission and within 30 days as primary end points and define surgical intervention for ulcer bleeding, transfusion amount and hospitalization days after allocation as secondary end points.

Andago V2.0 is a recently developed overground gait and balance training device. Many patients in neurorehabilitation suffer from gait disorders, most typically after stroke. Since pharmacological therapies are basically not available, neurorehabilitation plays an important role in the treatment of such patients. The Andago V2.0 may represent a useful device in the rehabilitation of stroke and other neurological patients featuring a severe gait disorder. Therefore a study has been designed to investigate the usability of the Andago V2.0 in the setting of a neurorehabilitation clinic. The primary outcomes of this study are the usability and acceptance of the investigational medical device (IMD). Usability is mainly measured by the time spent for the set-up and release of the participant, achieved training times and distances, the number of stumbles, collisions and emergency stops and the error messages during the session. Besides patient and therapist satisfaction with the Andago V2.0 is recorded.

Randomized study evaluating the role of tranexamic acid in reducing intraoperative bleeding in palatoplasty.

Tranexamic acid has been proposed and used for prevention and management of antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage.

The aim of the study is to identify the best method of omeprazole (OME) application with respect to intragastric pH, cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) genotype and phenotype.
