Proposed study is designed to evaluate patients at particular risk for preterm delivery; those with advanced cervical exam. In this randomized prospective controlled study, we intend to examine the influence of adjunctive antibiotic use in preterm labor complicated by a cervical exam of 4 cm or greater. Comparison will be made between a study group receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics with a control group that will not receive antibiotics for pregnancy prolongation

Study to determine responses of lansoprazole and ecabet sodium combination therapy and compare with lansoprazole and placebo therapy in patients who need additional therapy after standard proton pump inhibitor treatment for 4week or more in recurrent gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Citicoline Brain Injury Treatment (COBRIT) trial of the effects of 90 days of citicoline on functional outcome in patients with complicated mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injury. Citicoline (also known as CDP-Choline) is a naturally occurring endogenous compound. Citicoline may have neuroprotective effects and may potentiate neuro-recovery which has led to the evaluation of it as treatment for both stroke and TBI in animal models and in human clinical trials.

Endotracheal intubation is a painful and stressful procedure, which is associated with acute increases of blood pressure, intracranial pressure, bradycardia and hypoxemia with high morbidity.The aim of the study is to compare recovery time, efficacy and tolerance in a andomized controlled study, between sevoflurane and propofol for intubation in neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Study to determine if Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) given into an oxygen hood is effective in improving oxygenation in term and near-term infants who have poor oxygenation but who are not yet mechanically ventilated.

The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety profile of daily treatment with dexlansoprazole MR in subjects with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Study is to obtain preliminary information about the efficacy and potential adverse effects of platelet concentrate injections in patients undergoing arthroscopic Sub-acromial Decompression (SD), arthroscopic Acromio-Clavicular (AC) joint resection, and arthroscopic Rotator Cuff (RC) repair. Investigators wish to determine whether the PRP shows efficacy in healing and learn of possible side-effects

Safety and Efficacy of Vanquix™ Auto-Injector (Diazepam Injection) for the Management of Selected, Refractory Patients With Epilepsy Who Require Intermittent Medical Intervention to Control Episodes of Acute Repetitive Seizures

Study comparing diazepam, a drug that is labeled by the FDA for this indication, with lorazepam. The study will show whether one drug is more effective and safer than the other.

Study sponsored by the university of Chicago to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Vanquix for the management of acute repetitive seizures (ARS). Study will provide clinical evidence for the effective and safe use of a diazepam auto-injector, Vanquix, to provide patients and their caregivers with an alternative to rectal administration.

The Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research to help advance science and improve human health. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsored preparation of this atlas to support local/regional planning and response efforts in the event of a bioterrorism or other public health emergency. In the atlas, case studies in six areas illustrate the location of nursing homes relative to population and various emergency preparedness regions. There are also maps of the location of hospitals and nursing homes in all 50 States and the District of Columbia. Atlas and Downloadable Information available

As the lead Federal agency charged with supporting and conducting health services research, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) has undertaken and funded important studies in many areas of long-term care research. The bibliographies tlisted provide citations for selected findings as well as a complete listing of long-term care research conducted and funded by AHCPR since 1990

AHRQ Research and Quality Evidence Report and Technology Assessment: Number 72 - Failure to Thrive - Criteria for Determining disability in Infants and Children summary.The Social Security Administration (SSA) requested that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), through its Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) program, provide a systematic review of the scientific evidence on whether children, defined by investigators as failing to thrive or grow adequately, have a concurrent disability, or will have one within 6 months. The population of interest includes children age 18 years or younger, both male and female, of all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groupings. The evidence report was prepared to assist SSA in updating its Listing of Impairments and revising its disability policy, as may be appropriate.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is the health services research arm of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), complementing the biomedical research mission of its sister agency, the National Institutes of Health. AHRQ is a home to research centers that specialize in major areas of health care research such as quality improvement and patient safety, outcomes and effectiveness of care, clinical practice and technology assessment, and health care organization and delivery systems. Source of funding and technical assistance for health services research and research training at leading U.S. universities and other institutions, as well as a science partner, working with the public and private sectors to build the knowledge base for what works-and does not work-in health and health care and to translate this knowledge into everyday practice and policymaking.
