Active clinical trials for "Ischemia"

The main objective of the GENOCOR project (Genetic mapping for cardiac risk assessment) is the setting up of a joint public/private laboratory (GENOCOR-LAB) dedicated to the development and testing of new cost-effective technologies exploiting the growing knowledge in the genomic correlates of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and of their evolution; the data obtained by the GENOCOR-Lab should especially orient secondary prevention and specific treatment of ischemic heart diseases (IHD).

In this study, patients were divided into 3 group with 35 cases including: 1.oxygen 2.enalapril 3.control. In the beginning of the study, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were measured. Patients in the oxygen group were given oxygen 10 lit/min 1 hour twice a day at the first month, once a day at the second month and every other day at the third month. In the enalapril group, patients were given enalapril 5 mg every night and placebo was given for the patients in third group. At the end of first month the patients' vision was checked again and at the the end of the third month the first physical examinations were performed. In the first group, arterial blood gas (ABG) was taken before and after oxygen therapy as well.

A pilot, prospective, comparative study. To include both male and female patients who have presented an ischaemic stroke (full stroke or TIA) or an ACS, 5 to 30 days prior to inclusion. The proposed study aims to investigate and analyse the differences in functional and structural arterial properties between the patients who presented an ischaemic stroke and those who presented ACS. The hypothesis is that the patients in both groups will present differences partly in terms of their "traditional" cardiovascular risk factors, but also in terms of their arterial properties. All of the confounding factors studied (cardiovascular risk factors, treatments) will be taken into account in order to explain the differences in the arterial properties found between the two groups. Furthermore, the prevalence of signs and symptoms in the two populations will be studied.

Currently, Sonazoid is mainly used for imaging liver lesions by assessing perfusion characteristics. However, the ultrasound technology is the same as for cardiac imaging and the stability of the microbubbles will potentially aid the detection of myocardial perfusion defects. This study will look at the feasibility of using sonozoid in this way.

Hundreds of babies in the world are being treated with brain cooling to prevent brain injury after they lose oxygen at birth. This study will use the newly developed information from the magnet resonance image to determine the actual temperature of the brain. This will enable us to determine if the brain is being uniformly cooled and if techniques that provide cooling need to be changed to improve the injury prevention from cooling.

The purpose of this study is to use an intravenous infusion of allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cells (Allo-hMSCs) to treat an acute ischemic stroke condition.

This is an Expanded Access program (EAP), sponsored by WideTrial for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI). Widetrial, an Expanded Access specialist, has arranged to supply participating sites with PLX-PAD for CLI patients who cannot participate in the ongoing research trial and who seek exploratory treatment options. This program includes FDA-authorized cost recovery, meaning payment is required to cover a portion of the costs of delivering product and complying with regulatory obligations.

A Phase III study of PLX-PAD for CLI patients with minor tissue loss who are unsuitable for revascularization has been initiated (PLX-CLI-03, PACE study). In parallel, this expanded access program (EAP) will be conducted to allow the treatment of patients who are ineligible to be enrolled in the PACE study. The EAP treatment is administered in addition to standard of care of the subjects.PLX-PAD 300×106 cells in a mixture containing 10% DMSO, 5% human serum albumin and Plasma-Lyte, will be administered via 30 IM injections (0.5 mL each) delivered into the leg twice,at 8 weeks interval. The locations of injections of the PLX-PAD are detailed in Appendix 1. Antihistamine treatment should be given at least 1 hour and no more than 1.5 hours prior to PLXPAD administration to ensure coverage for 24 hours, and as long as necessary post PLX-PAD treatment. Consider treatment with second generation H1 inhibitors such as Cetirizine 10 mg once per day.Subjects will be followed-up until 12 months after the 2nd treatment according to the schedule of routine medical visits at the medical institutions. In addition to this routine follow-up, a phone call will be made 12 months after 2nd treatment to inquire on the occurrence of subsequent intervention, amputation, or death.

To explore the prevalence of genetic polymorphism on RNF213 rs112735431 gene in non-cardioembolic ischemic cerebrovascular disease in Thai patients.

The first purpose of this study is to find out the clinical benefit and risk of oral aspirin for unruptured intracranial aneurysm (small than 7mm) combined with cerebral ischemia in patients in the real world. The second purpose of this study is to get the prediction model of aneurysm's rupture in patients who has unruptured intracranial aneurysm (small than 7mm) combined with cerebral ischemia , and find out who is suitable for oral aspirin.
