There are about 36633 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in France. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Erysipelas-like erythema (ELE) and arthritis are common manifestations affecting the ankle in Familial Mediterranean Fever. Musculoskeletal ultrasound examination of the ankle has never been performed during an episode of ELE. We hypothesize that ELE is associated with underlying musculoskeletal pathology. In order to support this hypothesis, ankle musculoskeletal ultrasound will be performed within 24 hours of onset of ELE in 15 patients diagnosed with FMF. Results will be correlated with clinical parameters, serum inflammatory markers, and ankle radiography.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a positive 16S rDNA PCR in various sites on patient's management. The secondary objectives of the protocol are: - to evaluate bacterial identification performance - to evaluate the effect of previous antibiotic therapy - to analyze the management of discordant results between 16S PCR and culture identification
Predicting the risk of allergenic sensitizations and asthma development in the first year of life is difficult. Investigator decided to follow prospectively two cohorts of infants with acute bronchiolitis, hospitalized or treated at home, from the epidemic seasons of 2011-2012 and 2015-2017 to know their respiratory evolution, especially if they developed allergen sensitization and / or asthma.
The National Rare Diseases plans, the ongoing MALFPULM PHRC and thoracoscopic advents in children, are remarkable improvements in understanding and managing lung malformations. The resection of these malformations is now proposed in most cases to avoid infections which are difficult to treat and to diagnose or to avoid exceptional tumors. Procedures are ideally performed around the age of 5-6 months to take advantage of the lung growth that continues during the first two years of life. The surgical strategies depend of the malformation size, the tumor risk and surgeon choice: conservative surgery with removal of part of the lobe may be preferred over complete resection of the concerned lobe. If possible, thoracoscopic resection is carried out. The open thoracotomy is more painful and leads to complications such as thoracic deformities, larger scars, blood loss. However, in infants the thoracoscopic work space is small, lung exclusion is challenging and the anatomy (normal or malformative) is difficult to understand in space. The rate of thoracoscopy without conversion to thoracotomy ranges from 98% in one American center with a more radical approach , to 48% in a national cohort. Pulmonary exclusion failure, complexity and size of malformations and intra-operative complications are factors of conversion to thoracotomy . These factors can lead surgeons to perform thoracotomy without attempting thoracoscopy. 3D printing is a thriving research field for its educational or therapeutic potential optimization of management, prosthesis, and organ replacement. 3D printing is particularly adapted to pediatrics, which suffers from the rarity of its pathologies and a large spectrum of size and morphology prohibiting the mass production of models. 3D printing models of complex pulmonary pathologies will allowed for a better anesthetic and surgical approach. The modeling of bronchial, vascular and even parenchymatous anatomy permits a better understanding of the anatomical particularities of each patient. This, in turn, avoids the intra-operative conversions to thoracotomy with a direct benefit for the patient.
The primary objective is to measure the impact of this treatment for patients with obesity of class I, or class II without co-morbidity, assessed by excess weight loss (EWL)>25%. The secondary objectives are to measure total body weight loss >5%, BMI reduction, tolerance, complications related to this technique in this indication. This study is a prospective, pilot, bi-center safety and efficacy study. 30 patients will be enrolled between APHM, Marseille et CHU L'Archet Nice
- Demonstrate the effectiveness of the Virtual Reality (VR) distraction on pain reduction in children and adolescents in onco-hematology unit compared to standard practice. - Evaluate the impact of VR on the level of anxiety induced by invasive procedures - Report traceability of assessment of pain and anxiety scores, and reproducibility of procedural analgesia techniques. - Evaluate the impact of VR on the short-term consequences of procedural pain, especially in terms of phobia of care.
START study is a comparison of cost-utility between permanent pacemaker replacement ambulatory care and permanent pacemaker replacement conventional hospitalization care. The hypothesis of the study is that ambulatory care compared to conventional hospitalization, involving a stay of more than 24 hours, would reduce hospitalization and care expenses without loss of quality of care and without increasing the complication rate for patients.
Our previous studies delineate a novel pathway of immune activation in animals that the investigators have named Anti-Virulence Immunity (AVI). Using a mice model of bacteremia, the investigators have demonstrated that Escherichia coli Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) activity is sensed by the immune system. This immune sensing results in a rapid bacterial clearing during bacteremia triggered by uropathogenic E. coli-expressing CNF1. The investigators already confirmed the involvement of one inflammasome using macrophages isolated from Knock-out mice. The investigators have recently determined the conservation in human monocytes of the interleukin -1beta maturation triggered by CNF1 and observed the heterogeneous capacity of monocytes to respond to the CNF1 treatment depending on the donors. Here, to determine the importance in natura of AVI the investigators will analyze the blood content of patients presenting E. coli and S. aureus bacteremia. The DNA of monocytes isolated from patients will be extracted and various genes implicated in the activity of various inflammasomes will be sequenced to identify mutations that could explain the susceptibility to bacteremia or a specific clinical presentation, i.e. requirement of a management in ICU because of organ failure.
The aim of the study was to determine the incidence and factors associated with double-J urinary stent infection.
The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of nasal carrying of SA ST398 strains in community and hospital settings, identify the factors associated with colonization of SA ST398, determine the distribution of imported and acquired cases among SA ST398 hospital cases and characterize the genetic structure of the ST398 SA population involved in colonization.
