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.
Alex storm hits France, especially the French Riviera, from September 30, 2020 to October 3, 2020. A lot of people have been impacted by this event. Among these people, 116 children have been taking care by the medico-psychological emergency unit and have been assessed by child psychiatrists or by psychologists.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a brief equine-assisted intervention on the social adjustment, assertiveness, self-esteem and coping strategies in adult patients with psychosocial dysfunction, hospitalized and followed in psychiatry, as compared to standard care.
The main objective of this study is to compare pelvimetric measurements performed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and by the EOS imaging system.
TRANS&VIH is a national survey that will explore condition of vulnerability and trajectory of transgender people living with HIV. To fulfill this purpose, clinical data from medical registry and socio-behavioral information collected through questionnaire, will help to explore this questions about vulnerability and condition of transgender people living with HIV.
Objectives: This study compare the mental health impact and psychosocial perception of healthcare workers and non healthcare workers in hospital after the first peak of COVID-19 outbreak in France. Methods: The validated SATIN questionnaire with specific scoring was used to collect data on health and psychosocial factors. A self-administered online questionnaire was send to all workers of the hospital in June 2020. A multinomial regression model was created to assess differences and risk factors in outcomes between healthcare workers and non healthcare workers. Variables were adjusted for age, sexe, frontline workplaces and experience at hospital.
Interpreting the cry of new-borns is a real challenge not only for perinatal professionals but also for parents, who are confronted daily with those sounds. The description and the acoustic analysis of baby's cry can allow healthcare professionals to better adapt their care during the first months of life. Thanks to an objective analysis method as acoustic analysis, the particularities of the first cry should provide us information on the quality of adaptation to ambient air life.
Intracranial pressure is usually measured by invasive methods requiring an intracranial sensor. There is no non-invasive monitoring method recognized as a gold standard. Tympanometry would make it feasible to evaluate intracranial pressure through sensitive and specific changes in the energy absorbance of the middle ear. It could represent a non-invasive method of monitoring intracranial pressure. This is a prospective monocentric longitudinal study. All adult patients in intensive care for head trauma, intracranial hypertension, or after cranial surgery and requiring invasive monitoring of ICP will be included after their non-opposition has been collected. In a group of 10 controls, multifrequency tympanometry will be performed in the standing position, in the 0° supine position and in the Tredelenburg position at -17°.
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is the standard surgical treatment for coronary disease. However, there is no consensus on analgesic management in patients undergoing CABG. The aim of the study is to evualuate efficacy of bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTMP) block combined with systemic analgesia, compared to systemic analgesia only, in patients undergoing elective on-pump CABG surgery. Our main hypothesis is that a bilateral TTMP block performed after CABG surgery could reduce morphine consumption during the first 48 hours. The investigators conducted an age, gender and type of surgery-matched retrospective cohort study in the Montpellier University Hospital (France).
Skin adhesive (Octyl cyanoacrylate - LIQUID BAND©) is increasingly used instead of suture for sutures on the superficial plane of the skin. It is frequently used in children, in traumatology and in plastic surgery. Several randomized trials have shown satisfactory results of the glue compared to suture in terms of infections and scar dehiscence, and aesthetics after abdominoplasty and mammoplasty. In the field of port-a-cath® placement in oncology: - The use of skin adhesive can save substantial nursing time, which makes it possible to consider the transition of this technique into routine patient management. Potential benefits include nurses managing large numbers of patients in day hospitals, and patients no longer needing a nurse for suture removal. - Cancer and chemotherapy toxicity can alter patients' body image and view of themselves. The presence of a scar can be traumatic for some patients. The second goal of this study is to test whether the use of glue can improve the appearance of the scar following port-a-cath® placement, an area in which there are divergent results.
Widely expressed in the sensory nerve endings of the skin, Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a receptor that plays an important role in the perception of pain and pruritus but also in skin inflammation, primarily by inducing the local release of several neuropeptides. Although the mechanisms by which TRPV1-sensitizing inflammatory mediators in damaged skin have received considerable attention, the role of TRPV1 in psoriasis has so far been little explored. However, two studies have reported that ablation of sensory nerves expressing TRPV1 reduced psoriasiform skin inflammation, demonstrating the neuronal contribution to inflammation in psoriasis. However, the expression of TRPV1 is not limited to neurons alone. TRPV1 is also expressed by epidermal keratinocytes and skin microvessels. For example, in 2018, transcriptomic analysis of psoriatic patient skins (by definition devoid of neuron nuclei) revealed that TRPV1 expression was increased in the skin of psoriatic patients suffering from itching (pruritus). Regarding human keratinocytes, it is recognized that the activation of TRPV1 present on their surface induces the release of pro-inflammatory factors such as cyclooxygenase-2. In addition, the investigators have demonstrated that TRPV1 has a pivotal role in the keratinocyte production of inflammatory mediators, which is mediated by the protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2). However, the role of vascular TRPV1 in inflammation is not described. The investigators hypothesize that in addition to neuronal TRPV1, non-neuronal TRPV1 receptors of non-neuronal cells (keratinocytes and endothelial cells) may be involved in the vicious circle of the inflammatory process characteristic of psoriasis. Putting TRPV1 at the center of the deregulation of the homeostatic balance including epithelial, neuronal and vascular inflammation in psoriasis is totally innovative.
