Filter by:The subjects of this study are married couples who received termination of pregnancy, the main purpose is to explore the effectiveness of the e-book education model. Outcome indicators include anxiety, depression, and grief, as well as the satisfaction of the education.
Currently, in order to visualize the inferior vena cava (IVC) of the heart using ultrasound, physicians traditionally place the ultrasound probe onto the "Subcostal" area which is located below the chest in the upper abdomen area. In this location, the pressure from the ultrasound probe is often uncomfortable for adults, and even more so for pediatric patients. Previous research and physician experience have demonstrated that it is possible to visualize the heart in the "transhepatic" area which is located under the arm on the side of the chest. By placing the ultrasound probe in this location, it is more comfortable for the patient when applying pressure, and this study aims to prove the effectiveness of visualizing the heart through this new location.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the disease-modifying efficacy of lovastatin in patients with brain arteriovenous malformation.
Gestational sonographic follow up may find some brain malformations. The trial is about to characterize these findings and correlate with the immediate postnatal findings.
During childhood, patients with RASopathies (Noonan syndrome and related diseases) can harbor various hematological anomalies ranging from isolated monocytosis, myelemia, thrombocytopenia or splenomegaly to myeloproliferative disorders. These anomalies may spontaneously disappear or persist, sometimes leading to juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Guidelines for initial screening and subsequent hematological follow-up have recently been published in France: peripheral blood analysis should be performed in all newly diagnosed patients and followed by biannual peripheral blood analysis in infants until the age of 2 years. In order to describe the characteristics of these abnormalities in terms of their incidence, age of occurrence, evolution and relation to genotype, we are conducting a longitudinal prospective study whose aim is to analyze peripheral blood cell counts and smears at diagnosis and one year later. In patients <3 years of age recruited at certain centers, biobanking of mononuclear cells will be performed. These data could yield a new insight into hematological anomalies in patients with RASopathies and thereby help physicians to determine the appropriate rhythm for hematological follow-up according to genotype.
The proposed investigation is a pilot study that involves pediatric patients affected by spinal deformity (Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Osteogenesis Imperfecta). The main goal is to evaluate the acceptability, the safety and the overall satisfaction of the patients wearing the back braces produced with an innovative methodology using 3D printers, compared to the current braces manufactured with a production model based on thermoforming, that has well-established clinical efficacy.
A randomized controlled trial of mifepristone 200mg vs balloon catheter for cervical ripening.
Correlation Between Driver Gene Abnormalities and Clinicopathological Characteristics and Disease Prognosis in Lymphoma
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital vascular anomaly that progresses throughout life and causes complications including tissue destruction due to rapid overgrowth, bleeding, functional deficits, severe deformity and cardiac failure. Unfortunately, traditional managements have transient benefits with more than 90 recurrence rate within a year. Therefore, there is a significant unmet medical need. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Trametinib in children and adults with Extracranial Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM).
Currently, there is no standard and indicated standard access route for uterine removal in the uterine transplant donor patient. The aim of the study is to show the feasibility of performing this procedure by replicating in our center the results found in other recent studies and to try to reduce the surgery time for both the donor and recipient patients.
