Filter by:The aim of this study was to translate the SECONDs from French into Chinese and assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the SECONDs .
Historically, CKRT and hemodialysis were performed in small infants and newborns with devices developed for adults with high rates of complications and mortality. We aim to retrospectively report the first multicenter French experience of CARPEDIEM® use and evaluate the efficacy, feasibility, outcomes, and technical considerations of this new device in a population of neonates and small infant. Compared to adult's device continuous renal replacement therapy with an adapted machine allowed successful blood purification without severe complications even in low birth weight neonates.
The research team plans to administer trophic enteral feeds to infants with Neonatal Encephalopathy that are undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. The team will monitor splanchnic NIRS values and compare these values to a group of historic infants who underwent hypothermia but did not receive feeds, to investigate whether there may be a range of values that can predict safe feeding. The team will also look at some clinical outcomes including feeding tolerance, time to achieve full enteral feeds, infection rates, length of hospital stay.
The purpose of this study is to explore the inflammatory biomarkers for the diagnosis of obstetric posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
This prospective observational study is designed to assess the individualized baseline disease burden in pediatric participants aged 1 year to 16 years, with early-onset SCN2A-DEE by characterizing and quantifying changes in clinical features over a period of up to 12 months.
Remote Ischemic Conditioning has never been studied in neonates with HIE. However, RIC has been studied in animal models of perinatal asphyxia and has shown encouraging results. In neonatal rats with HIE, RIC is associated with reduced sensory motor deficits compared to non-RIC, and repeated cycles in three consecutive days is superior to a single treatment. In piglets, four cycles of 10 minutes of bilateral hindlimb ischemia immediately after bilateral common carotid occlusion results in reduced cell death in the periventricular white matter and internal capsule. These preclinical studies support the hypothesis that RIC may be beneficial in infants with HIE.
Study the impact of differing meal contents on venous ammonia levels over time in patients with cirrhosis. Patients will be given specific meals and venous ammonia analyzed over time after those meals. The subjects will also provide stool for microbiome and serum, urine and plasma for metabolomics during this one-time study. Total duration=4 hours
The objective of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of adjunctive therapy of LP352 in adults and adolescents with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
With 18F-FDG PET, we have few atlases of normality allowing the realization of objective quantitative analyses. An atlas of normality is a probabilistic atlas of normal FDG uptake from a representative set of brain PET images of healthy subjects. This type of atlas is essential for intra- and inter-individual comparisons. Accurate quantitative analysis of brain 18F-FDG PET images acquired on a hybrid PET system has been shown to require an institutional normal database for statistical analyzes (Akdemir et al., JNM 2017 and Della Rosa et al Neuroinformatics, 2014).
The purpose of this study is to explore the predictors of ICU admission of obstetric posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
