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.
This is a multicenter study conducted in the emergency department of the Nantes University Hospital and the Confluent Private Hospital, over a period of 5 months, based on hemodynamic ultrasound. For each patient admitted to an emergency department with a sepsis syndrome requiring vascular filling, the pulmonary ITV and the aortic ITV were measured at each phase of vascular filling. This is a non-interventional study, the management of patients will not differ from usual practices and vascular filling should not be delayed in any case. Emergency doctors who are already experts in ultrasound, monitoring vascular filling by measuring the aortic ITV, will have to measure the pulmonary ITV after each filling of 250cc of Ringer's Lactate in 10 minutes with a limited amount of time. The evolution of ITV measurements and vital parameters should be recorded for each patient. In order to ensure quality, the emergency doctors will first receive a short training (presentation of the study and review of the measurements requested). In addition, measurement records will be analyzed at random. At the end of this study, the correlation between the variation of the aortic and pulmonary ITV could be compared. The objective would be to promote the monitoring of these unstable patients via the pulmonary ITV. This measurement would be easier to perform than the aortic ITV, which is currently only performed by emergency doctors who are experts in hemodynamic ultrasound.
The aim of this study is to measure the impact of early bimanual stimulation in babies with clinical signs of underuse of one hand. The observation focuses on the developmental curve of hands use. The intervention is provided by the family environment and takes place in the child's familiar surroundings.
Simulation in medicine is a powerful and effective teaching tool that has become essential for the training of students and health professionals. In this context, simulation instructor training have been implemented in recent years, where many subjects are addressed, such as the main principles of pedagogy, the integration of simulation, the construction of a scenario, briefing and debriefing. However, scenario facilitation, in particular the role of the embedded participant (EP), is only vaguely discussed. The EP of a high-fidelity simulation session plays a very important role in driving the scenario. Indeed, he/she guides the learner in order to achieve all the educational objectives set by the main instructor of the scenario. He/she also manages unexpected behavior and possible technical issues that may arise. Finally, the EP supervises the physical and psychological risks inherent in the simulation in order to maintain a safe environment. All of these key roles suggest that the EP can influence the performance of the learners. Little is known about the relationship between Facilitation and Learner Performance. In this observational study, investigators aim to explore the influence of the embedded participant on learners' technical and non-technical performances during high-fidelity simulation by analysing previously recorded sessions.
This study aims to generate data that conveys participant's experiences such as their satisfaction with treatment delivered by the redesigned CoolSculpting® Elite system for non-invasive fat reduction in the midsection area (abdomen and flanks) in addition to optional body areas of upper arms, inner thighs, outer thighs and/or submental area. By doing this, the study will provide insights for doctors to better inform participants about the expected outcomes when one or more body areas are considered for treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of 89Zr-labeled girentuximab (89Zr-TLX250) as a novel, carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeted PET/CT radiopharmaceutical for the imaging of Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.
The SPECKLE- KIDNEY-PED is a multicentre observational controlled trial aiming to evaluate the 2D-Speckle tracking in a population of 85 patients aged from 6 to 17 years old with a chronic renal disease and to compare the results to those of 85 age and gender-matched healthy subjects. The secondary objective is to assess the conventional echocardiographic parameters and the level of exercice capacity.
This study aimed to evaluate incidence, prognosis and predictive factors of new-onset of persistent left bundle branch block (LBBB) after rapid-deployment aortic valve replacement (RD-AVR) with the IntuityTM bioprosthesis. It was an observational, retrospective and single-center study. Two hundred and seventy-four consecutive patients without any baseline ventricular conduction disorder or previous permanent pacemaker or defibrillator implantation who underwent RD-AVR with the IntuityTM valve were included. Twelve-lead electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiography were performed preoperatively, postoperatively, at discharge, 1-month, and 1-year. Incidence, prognosis and predictive factors of new-onset of persistent LBBB were evaluated.
Women's experience of childbirth differs with type of labor, mode of delivery and parity. Induction of labor (IOL) is associated with lower satisfaction of women than spontaneous labor. A Nigerian study of 252 women with induced labor, irrespective of parity and device used for IOL and a French cohort study of 3042 women with IOL have been published. Theses latter identified several determinants of maternal dissatisfaction. However, no published study has reported the assessment of quality of life of women at long term after cervical ripening according to the device required for cervical ripening. The aim of this study is to characterize the quality of life of women after cervical ripening according to parity and device required, and to assess possible factors associated with this quality of life at long-term after delivery.
SARS COV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was first described in Wuhan, China. For this pathology, which causes severe respiratory infections, preventing the transmission of the virus has become fundamental, that is why vaccines have been developed. In France, this vaccination campaign took place in a context where the lack of confidence in vaccination is high: According to a November 2020 IFOP poll, only 41% of French respondents were willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. To our knowledge, there are still few qualitative studies on vaccination on the current issue of vaccination against COVID-19.
Is precariousness a risk factor for COVID-19 mortality in intensive care units ? Abstract Background: During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the first wave overwhelmed hospitals in Paris area (Ile-de-France) with a variable impact depending on the territory. Several studies highlighted variable ICU mortality rates during COVID-19 surges across territories (10 to 60%) with higher rates in those most affected by poverty. We assessed the impact of precariousness, as an independent risk factor, on mortality linked to Covid-19 between ICUs at Delafontaine hospital and Ambroise Paré hospital. Method: Investigators carry out a retrospective observational cohort study of consecutive ICU patients aged ≥ 18 years admitted at Delafontaine and Ambroise Paré hospitals during the first wave of the Covid-19 outbreak in order to compare mortality rates according to predefined risk factors (age, diabetes, arterial hypertension, BMI, active solid or haematological cancer, IGS2, poverty rate at the threshold of 60% (%) according to the island grouped for statistical information (IRIS)37 of the patient, invasive ventilation or not) that include precariousness. Results: Conclusion:
