Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

There is increasing interest in myocardial abnormalities following central nervous system events, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). These cardiac abnormalities include ECG changes, decreased cardiac output, decreased blood pressure, specific cardiac enzyme elevations, and segmental wall motion abnormalities (SWMA). Interestingly, wall motion abnormalities and ECG changes have shown to be reversible, and therefore the dysfunction has been described as neurogenic myocardial stunning. The pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction following SAH has not yet been fully elucidated. Many reports (mainly case reports) have been published, but so far no study has investigated the frequency of these abnormalities in a prospective manner, have correlated the occurrence of the different cardiac abnormalities, and have assessed which clinical variables can predict cardiac dysfunction. And only a limited number of studies have related neurological outcome with cardiac dysfunction.

Through the parameters of liver stiffness and spleen stiffness obtained by combi-elastography technique, summarize and analyze the warning index of esophagogastric variceal bleeding in patients with cirrhosis, so as to provide a new and valuable technique for clinical diagnosis.

Von Willebrand's disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It arises from a deficiency in the quality or quantity of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric protein that is required for platelet adhesion. Typical patients present with mucocutaneous bleeding symptoms because of reduced circulating von Willebrand factor (VWF) In this study we will use the ISTH/SSC BLEEDING assessment tool as a standardized questionnaire and a proposal for a new bleeding score for inherited bleeding disorders

The main purpose of this trial is to observe whether Xingnaojing, intravenously administered within 24 hours of symptom onset on pre-hospital emergency ambulance, improves the Early neurological deterioration of acute stroke at 3 days.

Postmenopausal Bleeding (PMB) is defined as recurrent attacks of bleeding occurring in women after menopause one year at least after stoppage of cycles [

The objective of this post-market clinical follow-up study is to collect medical information on patients implanted with PuraStat®, according to each participating institution's procedures and standards of care.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a common and serious disease associated to a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Severe definitive neurological impairment can concern up to 30% of patients in relation with elevated intracranial pressure, hemorrhage recurrence and symptomatic cerebral arterial vasospasm. This latter complication is defined as a reversible reduction of cerebral artery's diameter occurring between the 4th and the 14th day after bleeding. Physiopathology is not well understood, but could involve endothelium, trough endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). Circulating EPC are bone marrow-derived cells with capacity of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. EPC have been recognized playing a beneficial role in cardiovascular disease and ischemic stroke. EPC have never been studied in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The primary objective of this study is to compare the number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells between patients with a good neurological outcome (defined as a glasgow outcome scale = 1 or 2) and patients with a poor neurological outcome (glasgow outcome scale = 3, 4 or 5). Briefly, the number of circulating EPC will be measured at admission, and at day 3, 6, 10, 14, 21 in each consecutive patient suffering aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and hospitalized in Teaching Hospital of Besançon (France). The neurological outcome will be measured one year after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Menorrhagia is the term used to define excessive menstrual blood losses, as often based on a subjective judgment of women. Many arbitrary values, expressed in milliliters of blood, have been proposed to define this symptom: 60 on each cycle has also been confirmed in our preliminary study on 87 healthy women. The quantitative determination of menstrual blood losses is nevertheless rarely performed, only in research settings. Although menorrhagia is a quite frequent symptom in healthy women apparently haemostatically competent in the fertile age (20-30%), its incidence becomes very high in women affected by congenital coagulation factors deficiency and (50-62.9%) inherited platelet defects, e.g. Glanzmann's Thromboasthenia (GT); also in von Willebrand Disease the bleeding symptom "menorrhagia" has an high prevalence (60-75%)(8); for GT an incidence of 90% has been reported. This explains the need for a study focused on the evaluation of menorrhagia in CBDs, addressed to answer to the following, still unsolved questions: Definition of the entity of menstrual blood losses in women affected by CBDs Elaboration of specific treatment schedules for each type of CBD Impact of different specific treatment schedules on kinetic and entity of menstrual losses (how does treatment modify losses?).

Unlike the management of patients with various forms of accidents (e.g. polytrauma), only a few data exists for the emergency management of patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. The aim of our study is to develop optimal diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for the management of acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleedings.

Warfarin is a commonly used blood thinner to treat and prevent blood clots. It is important to take the right dose of warfarin because too much can increase the risk of bleeding and too little can increase the risk of blood clots. This is why patients are closely monitored especially when they begin warfarin therapy. When clinicians prescribe warfarin, they have to consider different factors such as patient's age, body size, diet, and other medications that can interact with warfarin. Certain genes have also been found to affect warfarin dose. Individuals have variations in these genes, which can help explain why some patients need higher dose and others require less. These factors have been used to better predict a patient's warfarin dose requirement. However, these predictions were created based on Caucasian populations and they may not be accurate in predicting a safe warfarin dose if a patient is not Caucasian. This study aims to identify new genetic variation that affects warfarin dosing in Hispanic and Latino populations and try to better predict a Hispanic or Latino patient's warfarin dose requirement.
