Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

The objective of the randomized controlled study is to compare combination of sublingual misoprostol and routine uterotonics versus routine uterotonics alone on PPH in low risk women after vaginal delivery. The hypothesis is that combination of sublingual misoprostol and routine uterotonics is more effective than routine uterotonics alone in reduction of PPH in low risk women after vaginal delivery.

In 2020, IntraCerebral Haemorraghe (ICH) remains the most devastating type of stroke. Besides stroke unit care, no specific treatment has been proven effective yet. Perihaematomal oedema (PHO) could be a promising therapeutic target. However, the mechanisms, the natural history as well as the clinical impact of this PHO remain unclear. The COPITCH study has been designed to answer these questions

This study is the first and largest secondary prevention trial about lipid-lowering therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients at high-risk of intracranial hemorrhage. The primary hypothesis of this study is: excessive reduction in serum lipid levels by intensive statin therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients with cerebral microbleeds can increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage. This study will shed light on new clinical decisions regarding the long-term serum lipid management in these patients with dilemma in clinical practice.

This study will be a prospective randomized control trial to evaluate the effects of subcutaneously administered TXA among patients undergoing nasal Mohs reconstruction with local flaps at VUMC.

The study will include 444 pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section in Kasr Al Aini. Following a proper medical history taking, examination will be done, investigations including laboratory tests and obstetric ultrasound will be done. Then, the patients will be divided into 4 groups, receiving Oxytocin only (Group 1), Oxytocin + Tranexamic acid (Group 2), Oxtytocin and Misoprostol (Group 3) or Oxytocin and Carbetocin (Group 4) followed by collection of necessary data.

This is a clinical trial in which we will learn about the retinal findings in three clinical groups of children, who might be at risk of having retinal hemorrhages (RH). The aim of the study is to explore the occurrence of moderate to severe retinal hemorrhages in critically ill children, children with intracranial hemorrhages, hydrocephalus or signs of elevated intracranial pressure and in children with benign enlargement of subarachnoid spaces (BESS). Are RHs associated with BESS? What is the prevalence, distribution and extent of RHs in critically ill children? What is the prevalence, distribution and extent of RHs in children with traumatic brain injury? Does the prevalence, distribution and extent of RHs differ in children with witnessed traumatic brain injury from children with traumatic brain injury of unknown origin? To what extent do the causes of RHs affect visual acuity, initially and during recovery? A retinal ophthalmoscopy through dilated pupils will be conducted and a fundus photograph will be taken by a handheld, non-touch camera.

The purpose of this study is to create a state-wide biorepository and resource center for cerebrovascular diseases in Florida, which will include collecting medical history information and blood from families affected by cerebrovascular disease. The information and blood samples collected may be used in future research for the study of cerebrovascular disease and to learn about, prevent or treat other health problems.

The study will investigate the prevalence of high bleeding risk (HBR) features and will compare the clinical outcomes of HBR and non-HBR patients among those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving cangrelor infusion.

The goal is to derive and a clinical decision rule for safe exclusion of traumatic brain injury without neuroimaging in head-injured ED patients who take anticoagulant medications. The objectives are to: Derive and externally validate a new highly sensitive and maximally specific clinical decision rule for the exclusion of traumatic brain injury in head-injured ED patients who take anticoagulant medications; and, Estimate the sensitivity and specificity of existing head injury clinical decision rules in head-injured ED patients who take anticoagulant medications.

Prospective comparison of the incidence of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in women of reproductive age treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
