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.
Overall, 100 Caucasian subjects participated in this 6-weeks lasting study, AC5+ was applied daily. All subjects had clinically confirmed mild to moderate alopecia and self-declared sensitive scalp. Instrumental assessments included Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), inflammation markers, clinical assessments included the severity of erythema, inflammation and greasiness. Subjective/Self assessments comprised the intensity of the scalp itch/pruritus and the evaluation of their head hair status (volume, abundance, strength). Same assessments were provided by the investigators.
To date, many studies have focused on the characteristics of PID in children, allowing to highlight an entry into the disease in the context of more or less severe infections in all pediatric departments. However, only one study has so far studied the frequency of these PID in a pediatric resuscitation unit, which is why we propose this study to the Caen University Hospital. Investigtors propose a two-step study, both retrospective and prospective, in order to increase our cohort. The retrospective analysis of the data will be done over the period 2013-2016, the prospective analysis will be done from May 2017 to January 2018. The study will be monocentric, performed in the pediatric resuscitation department of the University Hospital of Caen to evaluate the prevalence of PIDs and describe their characteristics. The included patients will be aged 0 to 18 years, hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit for a serious infection and / or of an unfavorable evolution, or an opportunistic germ infection in the absence of a DIP or an immunodeficiency previously known. The inclusion will be proposed by the intensive care pediatricians. Authorization by the legal representative will be required in advance. The data will be collected during the systematic consultation in pediatric haemato-immuno-oncology within 3 months after their hospitalization in intensive care unit to detect a DIP by a thorough interrogation, a clinical examination and a first-line biological assessment. A second consultation will be scheduled in the 3 months following the 1st with announcement of the results of the first balance sheet and completion of a second complementary balance sheet if a suspicion of DIP persists at the end of the first balance sheet. The precise description of the incidence of these immunodeficiencies and their characteristics could lead to the development of recommendations on the routine screening of PID in pediatric resuscitation; an early diagnosis enabling preventive and curative management (vaccine, immunoglobulin, antibiotic prophylaxis, etc.) to be put in place in order to limit the risk of infectious recurrence and reduce the morbidity.
This study conducted in 90 adults living with type 1 diabetes is an interventional single-arm open-label before/after multicentric national study conducted as a clinical investigation according to the law EU 2017/745 art. 62. After a 14-day baseline period during which the patient will use a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and his current therapy (multiple daily injection or open-loop pump), the patient will start a 42-day treatment period during which he will use the DBLG1 System, a closed loop system (including a DBLG1 handset, a TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH insulin pump, in addition to his Dexcom G6 CGM). An optional 6-week extension period with treatment will be proposed to patients agreeing to pursue the use of the DBLG1 system. The main objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the DBLG1 System with a TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH insulin pump in closed-loop for 6 weeks in 90 adults with type 1 diabetes. Data related to their glycemia, complications, usability and quality of life will be collected. The study is completed when all patients have their "end of study" file completed in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF).
Trauma patient care requires collaboration and interaction with close relationship between many stakeholders from different professions (senior doctor, intern, nurse, nurse helpers, surgeons, etc). This is a stressful situation where decision and action need to be quick, decisive and coordinate. In this situation, quality of care and patient safety depends on a good interprofessional communication. The acquisition of advanced communication skills, team management and leadership, stress management are essentials elements in the practice of Intensive and trauma care. However, advanced structured training or assessment of theses skills is lacking in medical education or Healthcare professionals training. The study therefore, aimed to develop a global and attractive training to help healthcare professionals to improve their skills. Captain SonarTM is a naval battle game where two teams each composed of four participants clash. Each player has a well-defined role and it is imperative to communicate in a closed loop to advance in the game. This game also includes components similar to support for shock management: stress, speed of action, central communication and teamwork of four protagonists (Team Leader-Captain, intern-Second, nurse-Mechanic, Nurse help-Detector). It may improve team building, team leadership, interprofessional work, communication, stress management. The study hypothesis is that this board game would have an impact on the performance of professionals when facing a multiple trauma simulated patient. (differences in terms of technical and non-technical performance. Different use of closed loop communication, Different stress management, different efficiency and interprofessional collaboration with potentially a reduction in the timing of treatment being delivered in trauma room)
The incidence of fall in older adults aged 65 and over is estimated at 30%, and 50% of the people aged 80 and over with at least one fall a year. Falls are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The origin falls is often multifactorial, involving intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Few studies have investigated the association with all antidepressants. Potential adverse effects of antidepressants such as hyponatremia, sedation, orthostatic hypotension, extrapyramidal symptoms are known risk factors for falls. Due to multimorbidity, polypharmacy including interaction risks, and aging-related changes in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of drugs, antidepressants may further increase this risk in older patients. Based on the World Health Organization global database, the main objective of this study is to investigate the association between antidepressants classes and the occurrence of falls reported in the database. A disproportionality analysis will be performed. It will aim to assess whether some classes of antidepressants, and within these classes some molecules, are associated with a greater risk of falls. A mediation analysis will also be performed. It will aim to examine some of the mediators involved in the association between antidepressants classes and falls.
The aim of this study is to analyze data from an existing database named SAATH-7 Star, in order to assess the treatment persistence to basal insulin in Type 2 diabetes patients who had been enrolled in the SAATH-7 Star structured patient education program in India.
Abionic has developed a targeted, rapid test for pancreatic stone protein (PSP) in human K2-EDTA venous whole blood using the abioSCOPE instrument. Currently no PSP study comparaison has been done between venous and arterial whole blood. Abionic would like to confirm the equivalence of the PSP between venous whole blood and arterial whole blood.
Fractures have been shown to account for 10-25% of injuries in children and the consequences of pediatric fractures are significant and result in significant restriction of activity. Despite this, the epidemiology of pediatric fractures remains poorly detailed. Investigators seek to establish the incidence of pediatric trauma and fractures and determine patient, trauma and injury characteristics.
Although several studies have studied the predictive nature of non-accidental trauma of the different types of fractures and in particular on the femur, the physiological and radiological particularities of the child make it difficult to estimate the age of a fracture and require defining a chronology specific to the specificities of the pediatric population. Some authors have carried out work for the dating of fractures, however the number of cases or the average age of the subjects does not allow a precise estimation of the chronology of evolution of the fractures.
Currently, there are no expert recommendations regarding enhanced rehabilitation after liver transplantation. The development of Enhanced Rehabilitation After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in major surgery, particularly cardiothoracic surgery, has motivated some anesthesia teams to extubate liver transplant patients earlier who meet predefined criteria (young patient, absence of comorbidities, absence of intraoperative transfusion) in order to limit the occurrence of complications of mechanical ventilation (pneumopathies, tracheal wound, muscle loss, etc.) On the other hand, improved rehabilitation in this case was often synonymous with early extubation in the operating room. Few studies, on the other hand, relate the implementation of a complete rehabilitation protocol including pre-, intra- and postoperative guidelines.
