Active clinical trials for "Toxemia"

We aimed to investigate whether Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio is a Prognostic Factor of Sepsis in Newborns with operated Neural Tube Defects?

This study evaluates differences in the ocular microcirculation between septic patients and healthy subjects and the course of ocular microvasculature in survivors and non-survivors over a 24 hours period of time in septic patients

Abionic has developed a targeted, rapid test for pancreatic stone protein (PSP) in human K2-EDTA venous whole blood using the abioSCOPE instrument. Currently no PSP study comparaison has been done between venous and arterial whole blood. Abionic would like to confirm the equivalence of the PSP between venous whole blood and arterial whole blood.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that addition of the Monocyte Width Distribution (MDW) parameter to current standard of care improves a clinician's ability to recognize sepsis in the Emergency Department, resulting in earlier decision to administer antibiotics from time of ED presentation for sepsis patients (simulated primary endpoint), with concomitant reductions in length of stay and in-hospital mortality for those patients (secondary endpoints).

Sepsis is a lethal complication of flexible ureteroscopy. The aim of this study is to identify predictors of sepsis after flexible ureteroscopy in patients with solitary proximal ureteral stones.

This study will analyze gene expression data (HostDx Sepsis test) from blood samples collected from participants with suspected infections. The primary endpoint of the study is to prospectively validate the HostDx Sepsis test for infections. As a secondary endpoint the correlation of participant prognosis and gene expression results in the HostDx Sepsis test will be validated. Participants presenting to the emergency departments of enrolling sites with a suspected infection and 1 vital signs OR suspected sepsis and 2 vital sign changes as stated in the protocol are meeting enrollment criteria

The aim of the project is to study neonatal immune dysfunction associated to the risk of newborn sepsis in a malaria endemic area in Benin.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of electrical cardiometry (EC) for the noninvasive determination of fluid responsiveness in sepsis and agreement of (EC) compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).

The occurrence of sepsis and its relevant multiple organ dysfunction remain a major problem in intensive care units with high morbidity and mortality. The differentiation between non-infectious and infectious etiologies, severity and organ function evaluation, and prognostic assessment are all challenging in routine clinical practice. Many biomarkers have been suggested for these purpose; however sensitivity and specificity even of high-ranking biomarkers still remain insufficient. Recently, metabolic profiling has attracted interest for biomarker discovery. In this study, LC-MS/MS will be perform to identify serum metabolic biomarkers for differentiation of SIRS/sepsis, severity and organ function evaluation, and prognostic assessment among 65 patients. The investigators enrolled 35 patients who were diagnosed with sepsis, 15 patients who were diagnosed with SIRS, and 15 normal patients. Moreover, the sepsis were further divided into sepsis, severe sepsis, and sepsis patients before death. Small metabolites that were present in patient serum samples were measured by LC-MS/MS techniques and analyzed using multivariate statistical methods, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA), and Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis. Based on the multivariate statistical analysis above, the investigators could distinguish sepsis from normal and SIRS; distinguish the difference among sepsis, severe sepsis and death. We hypothesis that some metabolites as identified in this study are promising biomarker candidates in the field of sepsis diagnosis and treatment.

The purpose of this study is to describe the value of serum sTREM (soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells)-1, sCD163, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations, white blood cell (WBC) count and SOFA score during sepsis and their clinical informative value in predicting outcome.
