Participants: Patients aged more than 18 years old who are scheduled to undergo thoracoscopic lobectomy well be enrolled in this trial. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of the two groups: (1) GDFT group and (2) restrictive fluid therapy group. Participants will be allocated in a 1:1

The gastrointestinal tract begins its colonization shortly after the birth. During the first two years of life, microbiota is unstable and less diverse than in adulthood, when its complexity and diversity are modified. There are more than 100 trillion microorganisms hosted in the gut, mostly as

Pneumoperitonium for laproscopic surgery usually result in decrease total respiratory compliance due to cranial shift of the diaphragm. Alveolar recuirtment is applied hopefully to minimize lung atlectasis and open collapsed alveoli to maintain arterial oxygenation. The anantomical proximity of

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of creatine supplementation and supervised resistance training in stroke survivors. It is hypothesized that creatine supplementation and resistance training will increase whole-body lean tissue mass, limb muscle thickness, muscle strength, tasks

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated fasting blood glucose and impaired insulin signaling (insulin resistance) and is associated with several comorbidities including neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney disease, and elevated risk for heart attack and stroke. Lifestyle

Background Hypovolemia can cause postoperative complications, circulatory collapse and death, regardless if the cause is blood loss or loss of other fluids. Therefore, doctors are giving fluid intravenously to patients undergoing surgery, and often in an amount larger than the measured losses.

Study protocol: Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two equal groups, according to computer-generated randomization sequence into: - Stroke volume optimization group (SVO group). - Central venous pressure dynamic group(CVPdyngroup). Stroke volume optimization group (SVO group): Colloid

Following development of the study plan and project summary, approval was obtained (November 25th 2013) from the Duke University Medical Center institutional review board, who reviewed the study outline, including endpoints and treatment exposure groups prior to data extraction.

Herbal medicine products are dietary supplements that people take to improve their health. Many herbs have been used for a long time for claimed health benefits. They are sold as tablets, capsules, powders, beverages, extracts and fresh or dried plants. Herbal medicines have been associated with

I. Background Excessive fluid loss is often reported in gastrointestinal surgical patients due to preoperative fasting and bowel preparations. Many factors may further exacerbate the lack of fluid volume, including intraoperative blood loss and fluid loss, anesthetic drug-induced peripheral

Predicting fluid responsiveness in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a difficult task. Clearly, early aggressive resuscitation in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock improves outcomes. Conversely, overzealous fluid administration is associated with increased mortality in patients with septic

Study protocol: - Upon arrival Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), or if necessary, a four-vessel cerebral angiography is carried out in case of each patient. Previous medical history is obtained with particular regard to the onset of the symptoms and the premorbid blood pressure values.

Volume expansion is frequently used to treat critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure. The goal of volume expansion is to increase left ventricular stroke volume and consequently cardiac output. However, about 50% of patients with acute circulatory failure will respond to fluid

Swallowing problems (dysphagia) are encountered frequently in primary practice and in the hospital setting. The list of possible causes is large, ranging from strokes and neurological disease to complications of cancer treatment, acid reflux, and surgery. Many patients have a reduced ability to feel
