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 objective of this multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional, chart review study is to compare outcomes (disability, complications and mortality) of patients with large vessel occlusion stroke presenting at late time window selected by either Non-Contrast CT (NCCT) only, advanced imaging with CTP (Computed Tomography Perfusion), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), or medical management. Boston Medical Center (BMC) will serve as the main data coordinating site. Fifteen additional sites will seek local IRB approval or ethics approval. The aggregated de-identified data will be analyzed comparing types of interventions and outcomes by type of imaging or medical management.
The effectiveness of Nasal High Flow therapy (NHF), in comparison with conventional oxygen therapy, is based on Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) and washout of dead space. Many authors have shown that peak expiratory pressure, expiratory plateau pressure, mean upper airway pressure and lung volume were significantly increased. It depends mainly on gas flow and mouth closure. First, "Groves"showed in 2007 that mouth opening could vary nasopharyngeal pressure from 2.7 to 7.4 cmH20 to 60 L / min, like Parke did in 2009, with a pressure of 1.2 at 2.7 cmH2O at 35 L / min. Then, "Parke" showed in 2011 and 2015, a nasopharyngeal pressure changing from 2.7 to 11.9 cmH20 by varying the flow rate from 30 to 100 L / min. "Bräunlich" also showed concordant results in 2018, from 1.6 to 2.3 cmH2O, changing flow rates from 20 to 40 L / min. "Corley" in 2011 found a pressure from -0.3 to 2.7 by passing from ambient air to high flow. "Okuda and Mauri's" work in 2017 on oesophageal pressures also contributed to this. In addition, it has been proved that the Tidal Volume (TV) is proportional to the flow delivered. These measurements were carried out by impedancemetry, the results of which were extrapolated to Vt. Thus "Okuda" evaluated it at 685mL in ambient air and 968mL at 50L / min. In 2016, "Fraser" highlighted a TV increasing from 400 to 500 mL by increasing the flow rate to 30 L / min. "Parke" in 2015 described an exponential End Expiratory Lung Impedence (EELI) proportional to the flow rate, as did "Riera" in 2013 with a ratio of 1.26 between ambient air and NHF at 40 L / min, and "Corley" in 2011 (ratio of 1.25). Actualy, Time-of-Flight (ToF) cameras, such as Kinect v2®, are increasingly used in the medical field, particularly to characterize respiratory movement. Various authors have shown a good correlation between the values of TV obtained by spirometry (reference method) and those obtained with ToF camera. A study led in 2018, by "S. Nazir" in the Department of "Réanimation Médicale" at the University Hospital of Brest, evaluated the average errors less than 46mL, with 76% of measurements having an error less than 50 mL, which corresponds to the clinical limit. Now having a non-invasive, safe, simple, reproducible, inexpensive, and allowing evaluation in clinical situations method ; the use of a Time-of-Flight camera to evaluate the breathing and its various parameters, is indicated. In this innovative study, never performed in different respiratory conditions in vigilant patients with NHF, the lung volume will be evaluated by a Time-of-Flight camera. Different clinical situations, and the different parameters influencing it, will be observed and compared with the results of previous studies. These situations will be simulations ranging from a physiological state to an acute respiratory distress.

Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization (CISC) is a procedure of regularly emptying the bladder by introducing a single-use urinary catheter through the urethra. CISC are indicated in several situations in patients with neurological pathologies but also with urological or functional disorders. The announcement of the indication of CISC is often difficult and the acceptance of this therapy remains complicated, due to the invasive side, the dependence on a material and the time required to perform CISC. A few studies have assessed patient satisfaction and adherence to self-catheterization through quality of life questionnaires, but none have examined the impact of this technique on daily life through the duration of CISC. Primary aim is to evaluate the impact of time to perform CISC on patient adherence and satisfaction. Patients over 18 years old performed CISC for more than 1 month, exclusive or not, are included. History and treatment, age, professional activity, visuals disorders, technical aids for walking and the history of CISC with the date of initiation, the type of catheter, the carrier, the number of CISC per 24 hours, the position of realization, the use of a mirror and urethral sensitivity are recorded. Cognitive disorders, fatigue, psychological state, impact on quality of life are assessed on the day of the patient's consultation. The grip of the upper limbs is explored by Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test. The validated questionnaires,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire ( InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) are completed. At home, patients have to complete one calendar on the specific duration of a 24-hour self-catheterization and the next day a second calendar on the total duration of CISC Primary outcome is specific time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment when the circumstances of care are combined to carry it out : isolated place, nearby equipment. Secondary outcome is total time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment of the intention to self-catheter until the return to the initial activity. Influence of age, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Moca), Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Qualiveen Total,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire (InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) on time of self-catheterization are analysis.
The study aims to know the overall prevalence of granular deficits and their breakdown by type (anomaly of number, content or secretion) in a population of patients with hemorrhagic symptomatology after exclusion of other known causes. This study consists also to evaluate the association between the presence of a deficit in dense granules and (1) the intensity of the hemorrhagic phenotype (hemorrhagic score) (2) the nature of hemorrhages (post-operative, spontaneous, atypical...) -Evaluate the association between the type of deficit in dense granules and (1) the intensity of the hemorrhagic phenotype (hemorrhagic score) (2) the nature of hemorrhages (post-operative, spontaneous, atypical...)
In order to evaluate the perception of the Nantes health students we wish to place an anonymous survey concerning their training, their knowledge of the legislative framework governing the use of EMONO and their personal and professional experience around nitrous oxide.
Regular bronchial clearance is essential in patients with cystic fibrosis for their bronchial health. SIMEOX® (Physio-Assist, Aix en Provence, France) is an innovative medical device for the drainage of the bronchial tree. By changing the rheological properties of mucus, SIMEOX® helps to mobilize secretions and assists their transport to the upper airways. This technology is based on fundamental research on bronchial mucus rheology. At the present time, SIMEOX® device is mainly used over a short period at the time or after an exacerbation in healthcare structures (hospitals, physiotherapy practices, postcare, and rehabilitation units, etc…). The clinical effects observed in the short term encourages long-term autonomous use by the patients themselves. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and acceptability of SIMEOX® used at home by the patient himself for bronchial clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis.
"The usefulness of respiratory physiotherapy and its execution modalities remains highly debated even though reviews of the literature show that respiratory physiotherapy is able to improve the drainage of bronchial secretions and pulmonary function tests during cystic fibrosis in periods of stability. Different physiotherapy techniques have been developed but the choice of one or the other facing a patient can not currently be recommended. The VirtualChest project, supported by a grant from the National Agency for Research (ANR), aims to develop and validate a physical model of respiratory physiotherapy (6 stages including model establishment pulmonary: bronchial tree and pulmonary mechanics and parietal [steps 1 and 3], a model of mucus [step 2] and modeling the effect of physiotherapy [step 5]). This project is integrated with stages 3 and 5 of this broad project and aims to get on a limited number of children with cystic fibrosis a proof of concept (prediction of drainage efficiency) and especially to feed the proposed physical models in order to subsequent optimization of the model (step 6). The choice cystic fibrosis of the child was justified by the effect demonstrated respiratory physiotherapy, particularly on respiratory functional criteria, and the fact that the parietal mechanics varies physiologically at this age."
Patients followed in Internal Medicine bring together favorable conditions for the use of alternative medicines. While some are recognized for their benefits, some can, on the contrary, harm the patient. It is therefore proposed to make a complete descriptive inventory of these practices, through an anonymized questionnaire. The main objective is the evaluation of the proportion of the use of alternative medicines in patients with in the department of Internal Medicine A
