Primary Objective:
Proportion of patients developing five-day treatment failure (i.e., failure
Epileptic seizures that begin in adulthood seriously affect patients, their relatives and the society in which they live financially and psychologically. The etiology of epileptic seizures starting at adult age includes head trauma, central nervous system infections, intracranial lesions,
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
A face to face visit (review in hospital, or remote video interview via smart phone and social media) is required to screen the occurrence of 30-day rate of the composite endpoints of renal dysfunction, myocardial infarction,stroke, seizure, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and all-cause

RESEARCH QUESTION Does intravenous Tranexamic Acid (TXA) 10mg/kg plus Oxytocin 5 International Units (IU) result in a lower incidence of primary postpartum haemorrhage compared to Oxytocin alone after elective caesarean section.
RATIONALE FOR THE RESEARCH Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major
INTRODUCTION
There are very few treatment options for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, a type of hemorrhagic stroke especially prevalent among Chinese, during the acute phase. Blood clot expansion in the brain (hematoma expansion; HE) is one of the most significant predictors for
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
The study is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial comparing three different doses of TXA (5mg/kg, 10mg/kg, 15mg/kg) in decreasing blood loss during and after total knee and total hip arthroplasty. Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty will be analyzed
EPO has been safely used for prevent preterm anemia and recent studies have shown the neuro-protective effect. Our hypothesis is that EPO could prevent preterm brain injury and reduce the rate of premature death and disability from encephalopathy. The aims of this study include: to investigate the
1.1 BACKGROUND
Maternal haemorrhage is a significant cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. The incidence of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) with blood loss in excess of 1000ml is estimated to affect 10.5% of live births globally. This translate to a staggering number of 14 million women
Anemia and transfusion are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in the cardiac surgical patient population. Even so, active preoperative anemia management is not currently the standard of care at our institution. Cost associated with erythrocyte transfusions at University of Texas
1. Overview This multi-center, Phase II trial is designed to determine if Tranexamic Acid (TXA) initiated in the prehospital setting improves long-term neurologic outcome compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe TBI who are not in shock. This study protocol will be conducted as part
BACKGROUND: Acute gastrointestinal (GI) haemorrhage is one of the most common gastrointestinal emergencies. It is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in high, middle and low income countries. The most common causes of upper GI haemorrhage are peptic ulcer, oesophageal varices and erosive
Describe succinctly and clearly the past findings which justify the plan for this project. A summary of the relevant literature in the area of interest and reports of previous studies should be included.
