Craniopharyngioma With Tumoral Hemorrhage
CraniopharyngiomaApoplexyClinical data of 185 consecutive patients receiving resective operation with a pathological diagnosis of craniopharyngioma in our hospital between January 2013 and February 2021 were collected. Among these patients, 18 of them were recognized as craniopharyngioma with tumoral hemorrhage during the operation.
No Cases of Delayed Intracranial Hemorrhage (d-ICH) Among Patients With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury...
Traumatic Intracranial HemorrhageTraumatic Brain InjuryAbstract Purpose Patients with anticoagulation therapy has a higher risk of developing traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (tICH). Delayed Intracranial Hemorrhage (d-ICH) is a rarer clinical manifestation; however, the incidence varies from 0-9,6 % in other studies. Some studies have also questioned the clinical relevance of d-ICH, since the mortality and the need of neurosurgical intervention is reported to be very low. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of d-ICH at Sundsvall Regional Hospital. Methods A retrospective observational study of patients with mTBI and oral anticoagulation therapy. Data from medical records and radiology registry in Sundsvall hospital for 29 months during 2018-2020 in Sundsvall identified 249 patients with an initial negative CT scan who performed a follow-up CT scan. Outcome measure was incidence of d-ICH.
Wideband Tympanometry for Monitoring Intracranial Pressure in Adult Patients in Intensive Care,...
Intracranial PressureIntracranial pressure is usually measured by invasive methods requiring an intracranial sensor. There is no non-invasive monitoring method recognized as a gold standard. Tympanometry would make it feasible to evaluate intracranial pressure through sensitive and specific changes in the energy absorbance of the middle ear. It could represent a non-invasive method of monitoring intracranial pressure. This is a prospective monocentric longitudinal study. All adult patients in intensive care for head trauma, intracranial hypertension, or after cranial surgery and requiring invasive monitoring of ICP will be included after their non-opposition has been collected. In a group of 10 controls, multifrequency tympanometry will be performed in the standing position, in the 0° supine position and in the Tredelenburg position at -17°.
Non-interventional, Real Life Study on Satisfaction With LNG-IUS in Spanish Young Women (18-30 Years...
ContraceptionThe aim of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to assess, under real-life conditions, woman's satisfaction with Levonogestrel IntraUterine System (LNG-IUS) in a young (18-30 years old (y.o.)) Spanish population taking into account their parity status. Furthermore, the study is aimed to evaluate the impact of: menstrual bleeding pattern and satisfaction with it at baseline, LNG-IUS chosen, previously used contraceptive method and reasons for change to/ choice of a LNG-IUS on overall satisfaction with LNG-IUS use.
A Study of Channeling in the Use of Nonprescription Paracetamol and Ibuprofen in an Electronic Medical...
HemorrhageGastrointestinal3 moreThe Purpose of this study is to examine whether evidence of channeling exists by analyzing within a cohort of participants with first prescriptions of single-ingredient paracetamol or ibuprofen (or both) whether participants with paracetamol were more likely to have an ibuprofen-related contraindication.
Plasma Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 Activities With No-reflow and Bleeding
Dipeptidyl-peptidase-4STEMI3 moreDipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP4) is an important regulator of incretins and inflammation, and participates in the pathophysiological process of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However clinical data of DPP4a in AMI patients is sparse. This study was to investigate the role of plasma DPP4 activity (DPP4a) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This was a analysis of consecutive patients conducted at a tertiary referral center from January 2014 to October 2015. The investigators included 747 STEMI-patients, treated with PCI from January 2013 to October 2015. Blood samples were collected immediately at admission. The patients were divided into four groups according to DPP4a quartile.
Multinational Survey of Epidemiology, Morbidity, and Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral HemorrhageThe aim of this project is development of a comprehensive, prospective, multinational, multicenter, hospital-based, data repository for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
Predictability of Thromboelastography Parameters in Severe Post Partum Hemorrhage
Post Partum HemorrhageThe aim of the study is to determine if thromboelastography parameters can be predictive of severe post partum hemorrhage.
Plethysmographic Pulse-contour and Pulse-wave-transit-times for Haemodynamic Evaluation in Bleeding...
HealthSubjectiveThe evaluation of haemodynamic changes is still challenging in clinically relevant situations (e.g. in bleeding, septic and postoperative patients) with the conventional monitoring routinely used including heart rate and mean arterial pressure. If the arterial pressure drops and the heart increases, the haemodynamic state is already decompensated and a therapy is at risk being indicated too late. Prior to decompensation - still in the state of compensated shock - it would be desirable to detect the shock already. The compensated shock is characterized by an occult drop of cardiac output and a hypoperfusion of vital organs like e.g. the splanchnic region. Due to these pathophysiological characteristics, a therapy would be indicated already in this stadium of shock progression. The available monitoring tools to detect compensated shock are on the one hand side invasive (intravascular catheter), cost-intensive (cost of the catheter systems), or need extensive training (echocardiography). Consequently, the implementation of advanced haemodynamic monitoring is still low despite the high clinical relevance for the patients. It is the goal of this project to evaluate in healthy volunteers the routinely implemented technology of photo-plethysmography in its ability to detect haemodynamic changes by extended signal analysis of the pulse-contour and the pulse-wave-transit-times in relation to the gold-standard echocardiography. Secondary goal of this study is to analyse the physiological and haemodynamic changes during progressive central hypovolaemia displayed by non-invasive or minimal-invasive monitoring devices and associate the changes to each other.

ELBW - Extremely Low Birth Weight InfantIVH- Intraventricular HemorrhageAn observational study comparing outcomes of Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) infants that were monitored with non-invasive Transcutaneous CO2 (TCCO2) monitor to infants that were not monitored by TCCO2 monitor.
