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 investigators define the Invisible Preparation (IP) as the set of health behaviors that young athletes implement, on their own, to optimize their health and performances. This includes sleep, nutrition and hydration, physical well-being (injuries prevention) and mental well-being. If some studies have reported a lack of compliance in young athletes regarding sleep and hydration recommendations, the literature is poor in this field. The CMS (Brest Metropolitan Area Sports Medicine Centre, France) aims at preserving the health of young athletes. Prior to their medical examination, the patients will be asked, all along the year 2024, to fill out a form that question them about their health behaviors in the four areas of the IP. Under the direction of the Brest University Hospital, PRICELESS (Invisible Preparation of Middle and High School Students in Sports Institutions) study will try, based on their answers, to estimate the proportion of young athletes who declare adopting the health behaviors recommended in the IP.
The aim of this research would be to determine the efficacy and effects of preoxygenation when performed by the patient (mask held by the patient). This is the concept of "self-preoxygenation".
Climbing is a booming sport with an increasing number of participants. When practicing this sport, there is a muscular imbalance between the flexor and extensor systems (especially in the fingers), with the flexors of the fingers exerting greater force than the extensors. In addition, upper limb injuries, particularly the fingers, are very common. The study will be carried out on club-licensed climbers, as they are better supervised. They will be recruited through requests sent to various clubs. The measurements will be taken during different climbing sessions, after the warm-up. The study will include measurements on different climbers. Informed consent and personal data will be collected from the climbers before the measurements are taken. The strength values of the flexors and extensors of the fingers and wrist will be measured using a dynamometer. The climbers will then continue their usual training for 1 year. For 1 year after the measurements, the climbers will be contacted every month by telephone to collect the different injuries they may have suffered in relation to climbing, as well as the number of hours they have spent climbing in the past month. After 1 year, the annual number of hours of climbing and the annual number of injuries can be calculated for each climber. Injury is defined as any medically diagnosed lesion of the musculoskeletal system of the upper limb or pain that prevents the practice of a sport whose aetiology is climbing. These data are used to calculate the "athlete exposure" (A-E), i.e. the incidence of injury per 1000 hours of practice. As the study population is large, this allows for variations in exposure between subjects.
Prospective study for functional and phenotypic characterization of monocytes in philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms
Primary malignant bone tumors represent 5% of malignant tumors in children, 90% of which are osteosarcomas or Ewing sarcomas. The objective of oncological resection is local control of the disease. Excision of the entire tumor should make it possible to maintain good function of the limb, minimizing morbidity, and promoting acceptance by the patient. Biological reconstructions offer the best long-term functional results. Several possibilities are then available: the Induced Membrane technique, the Vascularized Fibula and Vascularized Fibula associated with an Allograft. Until today, no reconstruction technique in children has proven its superiority over another and no decision-making algorithm for therapeutic care has been determined based on the importance of the bone resection and the affected segment in diaphyseal tumor reconstruction surgery of the lower limb. The aim of the present research is to compare the three techniques concerning the consolidation aspect, the reoperation rates, the rates of bone complications, septic, and the functional results by the study of the medical files of approximately 90 patients operated between 1986 and 2017.
Heart failure affects more than 1.5 million people in France, resulting in over 70,000 deaths and more than 165,000 hospitalizations each year. Viral and bacterial infections are frequently associated with episodes of acute heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Lower respiratory tract infections, such as influenza and pneumococcus, are common causes of hospitalization for decompensated heart failure, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown that pneumococcal vaccination can reduce the risks of heart attack or stroke in patients with heart failure. However, despite vaccination recommendations, coverage rates remain low, especially for pneumococcus. In this study, we will evaluate the impact of an incentive letter for pneumococcal vaccination on one-year hospitalization rate in patients with heart failure.
This prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional, repeated-measures comparative study compared functional and biochemical response profiles to exercise between 2 groups of chronically ill patients (chronic renal failure dialysis patients and patients with metabolic syndrome) and a group of healthy subjects. The hypothesis is that the addition of plasma metabolic intermediates associated with energy disorders linked to insulin resistance, will improve the sensitivity of the assessment of muscle oxidative metabolism abnormalities, as reported in exercise intolerant subjects. In this way, the metabolomics approach during exercise would provide a biological and functional "signature" of insulin resistance of muscular origin, discriminating between insulin-resistant patients, healthy control subjects and dialysis patients, with an exercise metabolic profile approaching that observed in insulin-resistant patients. A better understanding of metabolic abnormalities could guide muscle rehabilitation. Participants will be asked to perform an exercise test, with several blood samples taken at different exercise intensities. Researchers will compare the metabolic profile of three groups: patients with chronic kidney disease, patients with metabolic syndrome and healthy subjects: - V'O2-adjusted lactate at rest and during exercise - The combination of exercise energy metabolism intermediates reflecting insulin resistance among Krebs cycle cofactors/substrates, ß-oxidation cofactors/substrates, amino acids
This is a single-center observational study evaluating the potential value of NfL as a biomarker for diagnosis, detection of disease onset, monitoring of disease progression, and treatment response in asymptomatic carriers of TTR variants and symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based e-health application (intervention group) compared with standard care (control group) in terms of changes in adherence in patients with knee osteoarthritis using the EARS questionnaire. In addition, other questionnaires presented in the appendix (KOOS, TSK, EPAP, EQ-5D-3L, pain) will be given to all patients in order to meet the secondary evaluation criteria.
Bispecific antibody (BsAb) treatments, teclistamab and elranatamab, are newly available for patients with multiple myeloma who are refractory to all current drugs. The results are very encouraging but complicated adverse events, particularly infectious. This study analyzes survival data in patients treated with BsAb, as well as safety data, in particular the proportions and locations of infectious events. The results are compared to a control cohort. This study is multicentric on all the university hospitals of Paris (AP-HP).
