Implementation and Interaction of Clinician And Patient-facing Tools Aiming to Intensify Neurohormonal Medicines for Heart Failure
Recruiting
An increasing number of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) have been developed for patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). When used in combination at recommended doses, patients often experience significant improvements in cardiac function, quality of life, and survival.1,2 However, GDMT underuse occurs for the vast majority of patients with HFrEF. Two recent trials demonstrated improved GDMT prescribing during a clinic visit, each using automated de... Read More

Bevacizumab Treatment For Type 1 ROP
Recruiting
Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity in zone I represents the most severe type of ROP and has the worst prognosis. It is unknown whether low-dose bevacizumab will be successful in these severe cases. Also unknown is the timing and extent of peripheral retinal vascularization after low-dose bevacizumab compared with the standard dose. The current study will evaluate whether doses of 0.063 mg and 0.25mg are effective as treatment for type 1 ROP, with ROP and retinal vessels all in zone I.
