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 main aim of this project is to determine the Placental Growth Factor and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor ratio's performance (sFlt-1/PlGF) for the etiological diagnosis of vascular Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) compared to a non-vascular IUGR.
Given the prevalence and gravity of thyroid disorders, timely diagnosis, initiation, and monitoring of therapy are important to restrict the impact of the disease on public health. Measurement of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations is an indispensable tool to confirm the disease and clinical management. Reference intervals (RI) reported along with the laboratory data are an integral part of the interpretation process. Since many laboratory measurements are not yet comparable, RIs are typically established for each assay and are considered assay-specific. In this context, physicians who request test results from different laboratories are faced with challenges owing to different RIs. Assay-specific RIs are also problematic for patients who are seen by different doctors/different countries and more generally, assay-specific measurement results limit the development of modern public health standards. Paramount to the goal of using common RIs is the establishment of metrological traceability of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices-also called standardization. As the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) Committee for Standardization of Thyroid Function Tests (C-STFT) members, the investigators decided to focus efforts on immunoassays for TSH in partnership with the IVD industry. Although a reference measurement procedure existed for free thyroxine, the investigators considered this option for TSH unlikely and developed a pragmatic approach to harmonization rather than standardization. Harmonization is important in order to guarantee comparability of results obtained in different laboratories. The harmonization process is conducted by assigning target values to a large set of samples, based on the results obtained by as many IVD-manufacturers as possible (ref 2). Important here is the fact that these samples must cover the full measuring range of a TSH assay, and so it is necessary to include samples from people with thyroid disease. The primary objective of the study is the constitution of blood samples collection from patients with thyroid disorders in order to harmonize several commercially available immunoassays used for the determination of thyroid hormone concentrations in the blood.
This is a phase III, multi-center international, single blind randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of pulsed intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone versus standard therapy on top of maximal support in patients with Acute myocarditis (AM).
The DO OAM study is a mono-center, interventional, prospective study carried out in CH VALENCE. It will estimate the prevalence of dental movements in patients treated by oral Appliance for Sleep Apnea syndrome. The investigators will used fingerprinting technique by taking multiple photographs of the teeth that allow for the three-dimensional reconstruction of the teeth this study will provide a better understanding of dental movement caused by oral appliance
The aim of this study is to quantify the functional deficits as a function of the dominance of the shoulder stabilized by the open procedure of Latarjet at 4.5 months postoperatively compared to healthy controls.
The main objective is to demonstrate the equivalence, before and after the percutaneous closure of the left atrial procedure, of the maximum proto-diastolic velocity of the lateral mitral annulus (e 'lat) measured by tissue Doppler. Patients with AF at high embolic risk and presenting a formal and definitive contraindication to anticoagulants having been operated on for percutaneous closure of the left atrial by St Jude AMULET device, considering an equivalence margin of 1 cm / sec.
This study is based on the hypothesis that MRI could make it possible to non-invasively detect these amyloid deposits at the level of the wrist using parametric sequences known as T1 mapping, in the form of an extension of T1 in the wrists. areas where amyloid deposits are found in the wrist.
Invasive filamentous fungal infections (aspergillosis, scedosporiosis, mucormycosis, fusarium wilt) are frequent and serious in immunocompromised individuals and especially in organ transplant patients. There is little recent data in liver transplantation, especially on the incidence and risk factors of fungal infections
Elderly subjects are at greater risk of thrombophlebitis than the general population, but also of bleeding when anticoagulant therapy is initiated. Enoxaparin is one of the most widely used anticoagulants in the management of venous thromboembolism in the world. Its use is not codified in the elderly, because too few studies have been carried out in people over 75 years old. For several years, Enoxaparin in curative treatment has been administered at a reduced dosage of 4000 IU twice a day (and not at a standard dose of 100 IU / kg) at the Geriatrics center of the CRHU in Strasbourg with the clinical impression of a reduction the risk of serious bleeding without reduction in therapeutic efficacy in this very elderly population. Confirmation of a reduction in the risk of bleeding at this dosage could be the start of a change in prescribing practices, towards a more suitable dosage in the elderly.
An "outborn" birth is a premature birth that occurs in an unsuitable level center at the end of the child (unlike "inborn" births). This study aims to describe the morbidity and mortality of very premature newborns (gestational age less than 32 weeks of amenorrhea) born outside a maternity hospital of appropriate level between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020, and assessment of the preventable or non-preventable nature of these so-called "outborn" births. The aim of this research is to write down the short-term mortality and morbidity of newborns born at a gestational age <32 weeks of amenorrhea outside a level III maternity hospital in Alsace between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020.
