Introduction:
Ovarian cancer accounts for 2.5 percent of cancers in women. In Sweden, a total of 694 new cases of ovarian and fallopian tube cancers were reported in 2012. During the period 2005-2009, the relative 1-year survival for all ovarian cancers was 81.8% but 5-year survival was only 44%
The investigators broad objective is to examine in a prospective study whether an association exists between hyponatremia and psychomotor deficits. The specific aims are:
A.) To measure muscle strength by use of a dynamometer in patients presenting with moderate to severe hyponatremia (serum sodium
Study objectives
This study is a cross sectional, observational trial in 11 centers in France. The primary objective is to analyze hydration status in a representative sample of prevalent Daily Home Dialysis with low-flow Dialysate patients.
Secondary objectives are to identify associations between
Gammunex-C, a form of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), is approved for the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy (CIDP) or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). IVIG has been in use for many decades in the treatment of these disorders and many other
INTRODUCTION The clinical manifestations of preeclampsia (PE) are the consequence of endothelial dysfunction. [1, 2] Different hemodynamic patterns have been described, which includes: high vascular resistance, cardiac output (CO) alterations, relative hypovolemia, and increased risk for pulmonary
Cardiac surgical patients enrolled in the SHARP study will be randomized to 5% human albumin or 6% HES on entrance to the operating room. Anesthetic and Surgical management will follow protocol established by SHARP study including administration of a blinded study solution which contains 5% human
Major surgery is one of many triggers of a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), which disrupts the normal regulation of transcapillary fluid exchange with tissue oedema and hypovolemia as a consequence. Hypovolemia will amplify the inflammatory reaction by reducing cardiac output and
Shock is a condition of reduced tissue perfusion, resulting in the inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients that are necessary for cellular function. Common causes of shock are hypovolemia (excessive blood or fluid loss), sepsis, cardiac failure, dengue and neuroendocrine dysfunction. The current
All consecutive patients with cirrhosis hospitalized with an infection or who developed an infection during hospitalization for an acute decompensation of the disease in four university hospitals.
Criteria for inclusion were: 1/ cirrhosis as diagnosed by liver biopsy or a combination of clinical,
The main objective of our prospective double blind, randomized, controlled trial is to compare the rate of alveolar fluid clearance, a marker of alveolar edema fluid resorption, in 2 groups of patients with ARDS and suffering from hypovolemia: those treated with albumin and those treated with
Background: Accurate assessment of the BV and distribution of body fluids is essential for prescribing HD and for reducing complications related to hypovolemia and volume overload. Monitoring relative changes in BV using hematocrit (Hct), e.g. CLM-III, an indirect method, cannot be used to determine
