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.
In terms of immunity, pregnancy can be considered a semi-allogeneic transplant. There are several immunological mechanisms for implantation and maintenance of pregnancy by induction of tolerance without induction of immunosuppression. This study wants to evaluate the impact of immunodepression on women's fertility by studying the fertility of transplanted cardiac, renal, hepatic and pulmonary women.
During the last few years, the medical care of oncohematologic cancers diagnosed patients was shaken by the arrival of new therapies : targeted therapies. Very efficient, these therapies use the oral pathway in most cases, and are taken at home. These treatments show plenty of drug interactions and side effects aren't rare and require, in their own, a rigorous follow up in order to reduce their occurrence, intensity and their impact on patients' quality of life. A bad management of the treatment could lead to an inacceptable toxicity, or to its premature interruption. With all the new administration and follow up strains in mind, we want to elaborate the medical pathway structure for these patients by reinforcing the nurse coordination and by integrating another healthcare professional : the hospital pharmacist, which is a professional especially implicated in the drug delivery, the control of drug interactions and medical advices relative to the given drug. Private healthcare professionals (referring physicians, pharmacists, private nurses), unsufficiently trained and informed about these new treatments and their side effects, are asking for further information concerning the drugs prescribed to their patients, and are willing to keep open a communication line for the home follow up. These patients, who are autonomously taking their medication, are in need to be informed and supported to insure the good management of the drug, while taking in account their environment, their knowledge of their cancer and treatment and also of all the issues that could occur during their therapy, in order to resolve them. We propose a multidisciplinary medical care taking place at the very beginning of an oral therapy treatment, in order to ensure the security of the drug administration. Patients and healthcare professionals will be closely followed during the first two treatment cycles. After this, side-effects incidence are less frequent and the usual oncohematologic follow up is sufficient.
Identification of the cerebral fMRI phenotype of obese patients with FA in cognitive task context based on food choice making
Shoulder pain is a common reason for medical consultation affecting 6.7 % of the adults from 50 to 70 years old and until 21 % of the adults over 70. Among these painful shoulders, rotator cuff tendinopathy represents 44 to 65% of these consultations. To treat this condition, patients usually receive analgesics and physical therapy. When these treatments are not effective, a corticosteroid sub-acromial injection is proposed. However, according to the literature, there is only about 50% of good response to this subacromial injection in rotator cuff tendinopathy. It has been suggested that the injection could be more effective in the presence of an inflammation over the tendons called bursitis. However, no studies have clearly established this. The objective of the study is to determine if the presence of a bursitis could be a factor of good response to corticosteroid injection. The results could allow us to determine which patients have the best profile to respond to subacromial injection. The investigators hope that these data would improve the treatment of this frequent disease.
Pressure ulcers (PU) represent a major health issue because of their high incidence and of their important consequences. There is an important risk of pressure ulcer acquisition for ICU patient with acute organ failure. Specific risk factors identified in ICU are immobility, which accentuates the effects of friction and shears, as well as mechanical ventilation and the use of vasopressors. A repositioning schedule is a guideline for pressure ulcer prevention, but repositioning frequency remains unknown. Adaptation of the repositioning schedule to pressure ulcer risk assessment using Braden scale should decrease emergence of pressure ulcer. This could limit their important consequences for ICU patients which add to their brittle clinical condition (infection, increased length of stay, mortality…).
Currently, administration of norepinephrine diluted at 5 µg/ml bolus or continuous infusion is common during sympatholysis hypotension of TCI following the elimination of hypovolemia or anesthetic overdosage. Continued intravenous administration must meet hemodynamic goals within a narrow time frame. Depending on the intensity of hypotension the dosage is variable. It is adjusted in real time while it is excessive or insufficient at times. Therefore, the development of modeling should predict the kinetic and hemodynamic effects based on dosage and individual.
Dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome and genetic hemochromatosis are frequent causes of iron overload. Polyphenols are efficient iron-chelators. Investigator hypothesize that polyphenol supplementation can reduce iron absorption in iron overload disease. Iron absorption can be studied by the area-under-the-curve of serum iron after iron oral loading. The primary outcome is the decrease of post-prandial serum iron after rich-iron meal, due to polyphenol supplementation.
The simplicity of the implementation and the effectiveness of hypno-analgesia (via the magic glove technique) has already been proven in some research work, during the installation of peripheral venous route. An unpublished preliminary study has shown that this method appears to be the most effective in preventing pain during pediatric propofol injection. The purpose is to compare the effectiveness of hypno-analgesia of the hand by the "magic glove technique" to lidocaine used in an extemporaneous mixture in the prevention of pain with injection of propofol during intravenous induction in children aged 7 to 14 years
The main objective of this project is to evaluate the effects sought and the effects felt by children when EMONO is used in pediatric dental care. The Investigators will try to characterize the children who have submitted a request to extend contact with EMONO. The maintenance of a framework for the safe use of this drug whose place in dental care is fundamental and the benefit ratio is very favorable is essential.
The primary objective of the study is to measure the effect of mepolizumab on declines in oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisolone or prednisone) in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that affects 5 to 10% of adults and children. Despite current treatments that are often effective, 10% of patients are not controlled by inhaled therapies. These severe asthma require regular use of systemic corticosteroids in 30 to 40% of cases. In this context, the use of glucocorticoids is associated with many more or less serious adverse effects, but still affecting the patient's quality of life. Several treatments have already been proven to save systemic steroids (theophylline, anti-leukotrienes, golimumab ...). On the other hand, none is currently recommended because of a risk / benefit ratio that is too high. Mepolizumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inactivates interleukin 5. It has recently been shown to be effective in reducing the daily dose of oral corticosteroids and in reducing exacerbations in these patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. It also reduces the number of eosinophils in the blood and sputum and improves the quality of life. Patients will receive a subcutaneous injection of 100mg mepolizumab every 4 weeks for one year, for a total of 12 injections. In France, this treatment was subject to a Temporary Authorization for Nominative Use in severe eosinophilic asthma and is reserved for hospital use. The injections will be done in HDJ Pneumology CHU Grenoble Alpes and patients will be followed monthly during injections and one month after the end of injections.
