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.
The aim of this interventional study is thus to assess and highlight the cognitive, physical, and psychosocial benefits of a combined physical and cognitive training program in an enriched environment and to assess the factors influencing these benefits.
The main objective of this prospective transversal comparative study is to describe the quality of life of children supported by ECMO. These patients are described in detail at the Nantes University Hospital, in particular the elements of neurological monitoring. These results will be analyzed in reference to a population hospitalized at the same age, in the same period, and sharing the same diagnostic categories.
Observational, prospective/retrospective, non-randomised, non-comparative, multicentre cohort study. Primary objective is evaluation of in-hospital all-cause mortality after treatment of extensive acute and chronic aortic pathologies with E-vita OPEN NEO.
In France, the improvement of dental care for children in general and even more so for children with special needs is a real public health issue. Indeed, children under 6 years of age, children with a fear that is difficult to control and who have failed to receive care, or children with disabilities, have difficulties in receiving care. Because of their medical wandering before effective therapeutic care, they are up to 4 times more likely to have a very degraded oral health condition involving avulsions rather than conservative care. Moreover, these complex situations often lead to the indication of dental care under conscious sedation with an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (MEOPA) or even under general anesthesia (GA); hospital sedation by administration of midazolam is exceptionally proposed. As access to GA care is largely insufficient, solutions likely to improve the success rate of care and anxiolysis provided by MEOPA associated with cognitive-behavioral management must be considered. Among these, music has been shown to have variable neurophysiological effects (action on cardiac and respiratory rhythms and on blood pressure), depending on the style of music used. During dental care, a biological and psychological impact on emotion has been highlighted, although the few studies carried out in children in this particular context are not at a high level of proof. In children with special needs, the addition of music to MEOPA could therefore increase relaxation or distraction during dental care and improve the success rate of sedation by MEOPA. Validation of this hypothesis would limit the redirection of the young patient under GA and prevent the loss of opportunity associated with a further delay in care of several months.

The goal of this study is to test the ability of a computerized neuropsychological battery to identify attentional disorders resulting from a concussion occurring during the practice of rugby. Thirty young people with a concussion (11-25 years old) will take several neuropsychological tests. Researchers will compare their results with those of young athletes without concussion to see the effect of concussion.
The initiation of bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis requires an assessment of the oral status to prevent the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw. This recommendation is sometimes a hindrance to the initiation of treatment or may be responsible for a delay in treatment or even the failure to initiate treatment. However, in the case of a severe osteoporotic fracture (femoral or humeral neck fracture, vertebral fracture or pelvic fracture), treatment must be rapid because of the major risk of refracture in the short term (multiplied by 5 in the 2 years following the fracture). In the rheumatology department of the Nice University Hospital, the investigator team take care of patients with osteoporotic fractures either directly in hospital or referred by the orthopedics department as part of a care program. For these patients, the team perform an etiological assessment, bone densitometry and evaluation of the oral status with dental panoramic and tele-expertise to determine if there is an indication to perform surgical care before starting the treatment. Therefore, the investigator aimed to describe the number of patients requiring dental surgery befor the initiation of bisphosphonate or denosumab treatment before to introduce treatment for osteoporosis
Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a bacterial respiratory infection that patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often get when they cannot breathe for themselves and require mechanical ventilation. It is linked to higher chances of death, a longer stay in the hospital, higher costs, and the use of more antibiotics. Options to help prevent or treat this disease are in development and will require evaluation in future clinical trials. The goal of POS-VAP is to build and continuously train a network of ICUs to be prepared for doing these trials, to facilitate their execution.
Weaning from mechanical ventilation is a daily challenge in intensive care units, as it can take up to 50% of the total duration of ventilation. The longer the duration of ventilation is, the more there is complication related with it. Even when the spontaneous breathing trial is succeeded, 10 to 20% of extubations are failed and requires re-intubation. There is two different ways to assess if the patient is capable of breathing by its own : T-piece which can be considered as hard to succeed (it can delay extubation for some patients) or pressure support ventilation with no PEEP which can be too easy and lead to an extubation too early. Studies have identified risk factors of weaning induced pulmonary oedema wich is one of the main cause of failed extubation (up to 60%). The purpose of P-WEAN is to evaluate whether a personalized strategy for weaning from mechanical ventilation, including daily search for weaning criteria and individualization of the weaning modality (T-piece or pressure support ventilation with zero PEEP) based on the existence of WIPO risk factors (obesity, COPD, cardiopathy) improves weaning success compared with usual practice.
Among the various trace elements playing a key role in physical performance, iron is probably one of the most studied in the last 30 years. Iron is an essential component of both hemoglobin and myoglobin allowing an optimal oxygen delivery to organs, especially to skeletal muscle. Iron also plays a major role in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, as well as in the activity of numerous enzymes. Recent studies support the existence of a strong interaction between the iron metabolism and the other non-ferrous trace elements including among others zinc, copper or cobalt. The latter, but also other trace element metals could thus play an important role in physical performance. The finality of this project is thus 1) to determine the variations of plasma iron and non-ferrous metals in response to an acute exercise, 2) better understand the interactions between all these metals, 3) to determine if such responses to exercise are different or not depending on sex.
