This study aims to identify genetic causes of adverse events after cardiac surgery, such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction and heart failure. Patients undergoing heart surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Texas Heart Institute are eligible to participate.
In this prospective study the investigators aim to identify preoperative predictors of improvement of metabolic health and weight loss after bariatric surgery focusing on inflammation, insulin sensitivity (in a subgroup of patients), glucoregulatory determinants, psychological traits, feeding behavior characteristics and cardiorespiratory fitness
The study is enrolling adults who are scheduled for either inpatient or outpatient elective surgical procedures at The University of Chicago. At pre-operative visits, patients will be consented and a blood sample will be obtained for preemptive genotyping across a panel of actionable germline variants predicting drug response or toxicity …
Avoiding Risks of Thrombosis and bleeding in Surgery (ARTS) trial is a pragmatic, international, multicenter, randomized controlled open label trial comparing a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) - oral factor Xa inhibitor apixaban - to no anticoagulant among 5,436 patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery at sufficiently similar (and not high) …
To establish a central database on clinical parameters for patients who has morbid obesity, which aiming at to compare the results of those with or without receiving invasive bariatric treatment in Prince of Wales Hospital ( Multidiciplinary Clinic of Metabolic \& Bariatric Surgery) and CUHK Medical Centre (Weight Management \& …
This \[Study Type: Clinical Trial\] aims to \[Primary Objective: evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of robotic gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer\] in \[Participant Population: patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, aged \>18 years and \<75 years\]. The primary questions it seeks to answer are: Is the 3-year disease-free …
The goal of this clinical trial (Balanced-2 study) is to compare light to deep general anesthesia using widely available brain monitors, to see if 'light' anesthesia could reduce rates of delirium, cognitive decline, and disability in older adults undergoing major surgery. Delirium is the most common serious surgical complication, occurring …
The purpose of the PAUSE-Virtual Study is to show that by changing pre-surgery visits with patients taking a blood thinner (direct oral anticoagulant (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban or warfarin) when the participant requires elective surgery, using a standard, in-person proven approach, to a virtual visit, either telephone or video conference, …
Cancer of the lowermost part of the intestine (the rectum) is a common disease and both this disease and its treatment can have major impact on patients. Unless treated early, the disease can progress, spread to other parts of the body and ultimately cause death. Treatment often involves radical surgery, …
Despite significant advances in patient blood management, cardiac surgery remains a surgical procedure at high risk for bleeding. Numerous perioperative blood conservation strategies have been developed for limiting the use of blood products. Among them, the processing of shed blood and residual cardiopulmonary bypass circuit volume with autotransfusion device is …
