Clinical Governance of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome in Italy
Acute Coronary SyndromeThis is a prospective, observational, multicenter study that enroll consecutive and all-comers patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) at admission.
Using Personal Mobile Technology to Identify Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children With Down Syndrome...
Down SyndromeObstructive Sleep Apnea1 moreThis study aims to see if mobile video clips (smartphone recordings) can be used to screen children with Down syndrome to identify those at highest risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), so they can be prioritized for an earlier sleep study. Parents will be asked to record short video clips of their child sleeping, and then rate whether they think their child has OSA. Later, children will undergo a sleep study to compare to the ratings.
Protocol for a Non-randomized Survey in Down Syndrome People Who Practice Sports. Self and Observers´...
Down SyndromeSocial Skills1 moreThis survey arises from one objective of a PhD thesis whose purpose is to "Identify what social skills people with Down syndrome have that do a routine activity and compare them with those developed by those SD people who perform sports activities."
Tetracycline to Limit the Innate Immune Response in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Adult Respiratory Distress SyndromePneumonia1 moreThe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of respiratory failure with a mortality rate of approximately 40%. Despite advances in its supportive treatment such as lung protective ventilation or restrictive fluid management, no effective pharmacotherapy exists to treat ARDS. Emerging preclinical data indicates that excessive activation of the inflammasome-Caspase 1 pathway plays a key role in the development of ARDS. Tetracycline has anti-inflammatory properties via inhibiting inflammasome-caspase-1 activation. Since not much is known about the activation of the inflammasome in clinical ARDS, the purpose of this study is i) to investigate the the inflammasome-caspase-1 activation in clinical ARDS and ii) inhibit the innate immune response of alveolar leucocytes obtained by tetracycline from patients with ARDS
Renal Biomarkers in AKI and COVID-19
Coronavirus InfectionCovid192 moreSevere pneumoniae related to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), had a high in-hospital mortality; this condition are worst in subjects with acute kidney disease (AKI); conditioning increased mortality, days of assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV), increased nosocomial infections and high costs. We need many studies for determinated the risk factors for AKI in subjects with COVID-19. This study pretends identify the incidence of AKI in subjects with severe pneumoniae by COVID-19, describe the role of some biomarkers in the physiopathology of AKI-COVID-19; and determine the evolution of urinary biomarkers during hospitalization, like neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the progression of viruria of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related to CoronaVirus 2 (CoV2) in subjects with or without AKI.
Multi-omics Study of Young Adults Coronary Syndrome Patients
Coronary SyndromeWith the rapid development of China's economy, changes in diet structure, lifestyle and excessive mental pressure have led to a younger trend in the incidence of ACUTE coronary syndrome, and the mortality rate has been on the rise, especially in Shenzhen, the country with the youngest average age.Coronary heart disease among young people not only reduces the quality of life and loses the ability to work, but also prematurely consumes medical resources and increases social costs, bringing heavy burdens to families and society.Therefore, it is of great significance to conduct researches on the transcription, metabolism and microbiome of young patients with ACUTE coronary syndrome and obtain the multi-group characteristics of these patients for early warning, guiding the improvement of life style, regulating treatment, improving treatment rate, and reducing family and social burden.
Relation Between Serum Uric Acid and Metabolic Syndrome in Type 2 DM
Metabolic SyndromeThis study will be undertaken to evaluate the association of serum uric acid (SUA) level with metabolic risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes and their relation to eGFR status
Actigraphy and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome of Hospitalized Newborn in Intensive Care Units
Neonatal Abstinence SyndromeThe aim of this study is to analyse the correlation between actigraphy and Lipsitz scoring system in neonatal opioid abstinence syndrome of hospitalized newborn in intensive care units
COVID-19 Hyperinflammation Syndrome (COV-HI): Protocol for a Rapidly Executed Cohort Study
COV-HICOVID-191 moreBased on emerging experience and trials from countries affected early by the COVID-19 (COV19) pandemic, there is evidence that a subgroup of severely affected people develop a hyperinflammatory (HI) syndrome (COV-HI). Trials are in progress of cytokine inhibition and other immune modulation to treat COV-HI. This proposal aims to use a rapidly executed cohort study to characterise the clinical phenotypes of COV-HI in patients in the UK through an established and nimble network of clinicians and scientists with broad experience of identifying and treating HI. The aim is to confirm the COV-HI clinical phenotype and using routine data to try to infer the inflexion point where COV-HI emerges. This would enable refinement of the proposed treatment algorithm and translates to routine clinical practice to improve the outlook for COV-HI.
Management of Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (SAS) in Patients With Vasovagal Syncope (VVS)
SyncopeVasovagal1 moreThis is a multi-centre, registry-based study whose primary objective is to evaluate the effect of treatment for sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) on the number of syncope/malaise episodes in a population suffering from both idiopathic, recurrent vasovagal syncope/malaises and SAS.
