COVID-19 is pandemic and, though it primarily affects the lungs, there is evidence of cardiovascular system involvement. Mechanistically, SARS-CoV-2, following proteolytic cleavage of its S protein by a serine protease, binds to the transmembrane angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) —a homologue
Design: Retrospective cohort study that will review the data of patients seen in participating centers with a confirmed or probable diagnosis of COVID-19 between March and April 2020. Those patients who test positive for nasopharyngeal exudate for SARS-CoV-2 will be considered a confirmed case using
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
Provoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is traditionally considered a transient acute disorder requiring a limited duration of anticoagulant therapy. Patients who suffer deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) following major surgery, major trauma, or periods of immobility are generally
Lumbar spinal fusions are becoming increasingly popular and prevalent in the treatment of a variety of spinal pathologies, but predominantly for degenerative disease which is most prevalent in the obese and or older population. These operations can result in relatively high post operative surgical
Acute and chronic venous disorders of the lower extremities affect millions of people and cause substantial disability. Surgeons and pathologists identified the presence of 'spur-like' abnormalities of the left common iliac vein, these abnormalities were hypothesized to result from compression
The study is monocentric, realised in University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, France, using the CT GE Revolution dedicated to the emergency service.
For each patient with suspicion of pulmonary embolism, regarding the inclusion and exclusion criteria (explained later), investigators realise the
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrythmia in clinical practice that often requires stroke prevention with an anticoagulant. Oral anticoagulation (OAC) with either warfarin or non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) significantly decreases the incidence of ischemic stroke and peripheral
Study Subjects:
Patients >18 years of age who presented to North Eastern Ohio Gastroenterology and Associates and meet the indications for anterograde or retrograde balloon endoscopy. Indications include small intestinal bleeding, evaluation of small bowel mass, or evaluation and treatment of small
PPH occurs in approximately 1-5% of deliveries in the United States and accounts for 20-25% of maternal deaths worldwide. PPH is difficult to predict, but classically, risk factors for PPH- uterine atony, abruption, retained tissue, lacerations, infection, obesity, preeclampsia, magnesium
OVERALL STUDY OBJECTIVES
1. To develop and internally validate a risk assessment model for predicting the risk of in-hospital VTE in critically ill patients (phase 1)
2. To externally validate this new model (phase 2)
3. To compare the performance of this model to other VTE prediction models
Human blood samples will be collected prospectively from 50 obese patients, who are enrolled and planning to undertake bariatric surgery in the Outpatient Bariatric Surgery Clinic at Tulane University, HSC (Christopher G. Ducoin, MD, MPH; Chair of Bariatric Surgery Clinic and Surgeon, and Shauna
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
Rivaroxaban as an oral anticoagulant could be an attractive option for thromboprophylaxis compared to subcutaneous standard treatment after bariatric surgery. Especially in
