Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are extra-axial fluid collections in the cranium that can result in brain compression and neurological decline. cSDH commonly occurs after traumatic brain injury (TBI); though, many times there is no history of trauma. The incidence of cSDH is expected to

Retrospective study of 10564 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy at a single institution from January, 2015 through July, 2016.

This Phase I trial will test two doses of SANGUINATE™ in adult subjects suffering from chronic sickle cell disease (SCD). A total of fifteen (15) patients will be assigned to the low and high dose cohorts of SANGUINATE™. The first 8 subjects will receive the study agent in an initial low dose of 160

Acute pancreatitis represents the most common complication after ERCP. The reported incidence of this complication varies from less than 1% to 40%, but rates of about 10% are reported in most prospective studies involving non-selected patients. Although most episodes (about 90%) of post-ERCP
