Globally, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is projected to be the third largest cause of death by 2030 and in the US over 16 million people have COPD. Smokers are four and a half times more likely to develop COPD than non-smokers, with the likelihood of COPD increasing progressively with
The HYBRIDHEART study is a prospective, observational study that will be conducted in the Laboratory of Advanced Research in Cardiac Multimodal Imaging of Cardio Med Medical Center Tîrgu Mureş, Romania.
The project will include 100 subjects with documented ST Segment elevation myocardial infarction
We suggest performing a prospective randomized pilot trial comparing RYGB without concomitant cholecystectomy with RYGB with concomitant cholecystectomy for patients with absence of gallstones in preoperative ultrasound. Patients with ultrasonographically confirmed gallstones in the gallbladder
People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are known to have exceptionally higher rate of cigarette smoking and very low quit rates compared to the general population. Although a primary rationale for conducting this study is reducing health disparities among PLWHA, there is a potential benefit of the
NAME OF THE RESEARCH: The Effectiveness of Inspiratory Muscle Training and Nintendo Wii Fit Applications in Elderly Patients with Heart Failure
JUSTIFICATION AND BASIS OF THE RESEARCH: Heart failure is a multisystem syndrome characterized by the body's inability to pump or increase the filling
Identification of cases:
Placental abruption cases will be identified by interrogation of two databases of Brest University Hospital between January 2013 and December 2018.
The women diagnosed with placental abruption will be first identified by interrogation of the Medical Registry Department (MRD)
Curative intent liver resection is the gold standard for treatment of hepatic malignancies, including metastases from colorectal cancer (CRLM), but liver resection can only be performed if future liver remnant (FLR) volume is at least 25 %. Unfortunately, many cancer patients have multiple liver
Hypothesis:
A "high-intensity" smoking cessation intervention is superior in leading to permanent (>12 months) smoking cessation in active smokers with COPD than does a standard, guideline-based municipal smoking cessation intervention.
Secondary hypothesis: The progression of COPD will be reduced
Gout is the most prevalent inflammatory rheumatological disease among young men, affecting about 4% of the general population. Caused by the deposit of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals which form because of high urate concentrations in serum. Currently, there is no universal definition for
This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded, research study undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy at the University of Missouri/Ellis Fischel Hospital. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion. Data also will be tracked on those who are post-operatively stratified by
Patients with pre-existing MI are at higher risk of major cardiovascular events (MCE). Current studies mainly focus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment in general population without a history of CVD. Because of high prevalence of ischemic heart disease, especially in developing countries
One of the treatment options for CAD is a percutaneous coronary intervention through balloon angioplasty or stent insertion . Although the restenosis rate can be reduced by using bare metal stents , the in-stent restenosis (ISR) rate is still high at around 20%-30% .
increased rates of stent
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who survive the acute event, very often present a significant deterioration of their clinical status with progression towards heart failure, which is directly linked to the extent of myocardial injury and the remodeling process starting immediately
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Early detection of CAD may reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction by improving primary prevention and providing more effective treatment methods. A step in this direction is identifying the pattern
Following consent, patients will be assigned a unique study identification number (ID). A master list linking patient ID to patient name and medical record number will be maintained on a password protected and encrypted departmental server location with access limited to research staff. Patients
