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.
Describe the main clinical features impacting the food intake, and therefore the nutritional status of a population infected by a coronavirus.
Several treatments have been used in during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020. Using patients' registries from several hospitals in Paris, the investigators retrospectively analyzed associations between specific treatments, including but not limited to vaccines targeted against SARS-CoV-2, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, remdesivir, baricitinib, tocilizumab, sarilumab, lopinavir/ritonavir and oseltamivir; and clinical outcomes including, death and mechanical ventilation.
This study is a retrospective cohort trial to assess the efficacy of remdesivir in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The study is a multicenter trial which will be carried out on different sites in France. This trial is retrospective and will analyze the data collected during treatment.
The ongoing Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic is causing a major global health crisis and is shaking up hospital organizations. To date, the recognized risk factors for severe forms of Covid-19 infection are elderly patients (> 70 years), obese patients, patients with chronic renal or respiratory pathologies, cardiovascular history (stroke or coronary artery disease), chronic respiratory conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. Covid-19 is manifested by a risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring management by invasive ventilation. The lethality of this infection is around 4% in the current data. Drastic precautionary measures for the transmission of the virus, as well as the provision of critical care beds by canceling any scheduled non-urgent intervention or consultation, have shaken up the hospital organization. In this context, it is essential to have forward-looking data in real time to adjust the care offer and better understand the impact of Covid-19 on the patient populations treated.
This study is aiming at investigating whether professional burnout in people involved in the mobile intensive care unit (in French: Element Mobile de Réanimation, EMR) in Mulhouse (France) can be predicted upstream by a low mindfulness level (as a protective factor) or by a dysregulation of stress pathways with a high level of perceived stress towards an emotional event (psychological index of allostatic load), i.e. an early and silent dysfunctional physiological response (measured by the electrophysiological and biological measurements of allostasis load and parasympathetic brake). It is part of a global approach aiming at identifying levers to prevent the allostatic load of occupational stress related to large-scale health crises.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are commonly used in the therapeutic arsenal of metastatic melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, thanks to their inhibiting effects on cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (anti-CTLA4) and anti-programmed death-1 (anti-PD1) respectively. These treatments can induce numerous cutaneous and non-cutaneous adverse effects that are mainly due to their immunological action. Their most frequent adverse effects are dysthyroidism, autoimmune hepatitis, colitis and skin disorders. Among those, pruritus is frequently reported as a side effect of these treatments. Its incidence has been estimated between 11% and 47%. Pruritus can deeply affect the patient's quality of life and may lead to treatment discontinuation. Until now, ICI-related pruritus has been poorly studied and it is not understood. In the literature, data on the presence and characteristics of pruritus in patients treated by ICIs were provided, without analyzing the causes of this pruritus. Indeed, it is not known if the occurrence of pruritus is related to direct or indirect effects of ICIs. Some authors reported a correlation between the occurrence of cutaneous adverse events under ICIs and the survival. The principal aim of our study was to analyze the putative causes of pruritus occurring in patients treated with ICIs for melanomas and cutaneous carcinomas. The other objectives were to assess the association between the occurrence of pruritus and survival, and between the other adverse events and pruritus.
The purpose of this study is to analyse clinical data of well-differentiated grade 3 digestive neuroendocrine tumors. These rare tumors may have a different disease evolution, response to chemotherapy and prognostic.
During their studies, the dental students of Brest (France) learn their future profession by working in the Dental University Hospital, from the fourth academic year. This clinical activity is considered as both a source of satisfaction and stress by most of the students. The main objective of this study is to investigate the experience of Brest dental students through a qualitative methodology, with individual interviews, followed by an analysis by grounded theory (Paillé, 1994).
High-intensity interval exercise (HIIT), as compared to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), is a time-efficient strategy to decrease total and abdominal fat mass (FM). However, the mechanisms underlying such adaptations are not yet elucidated and research are still needed to establish the optimal HIIT according to subject characteristics. The aim of this study was to compare acute HIIE and MICE cycling exercises on enjoyment, post-exercise substrate oxidation, appetite and energy intakes over 24h in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity. It is hypothesized that compared with the traditional MICE, HIIE could favor greater enjoyment, higher 2h-post-exercise fat oxidation and a similar energy intakes over 24h despite different post-exercise appetite perceptions.
The purpose of the present study is to determine whether there is a decrease in the emotional response to experimental induction of dyspnea by hypoxic stimulation in subjects with a "neurological" form of COVID-19, compared to healthy controls.
