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 aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of the voluntary neck extension in the occurrence of an increase in the pulsatility index of the right internal carotid artery in the amateur diver, realizing an apnea of two minutes or more.
Evaluation and comparison of histological analysis, 9,4 tesla MRI, Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (FFOCT) and ultrasound-based navigation system for cartilage degeneration analysis of patellofemoral joint.
Dengue is an important public health problem despite the efforts of local health authorities to mitigate the impact of epidemics and the epidemiology of dengue evolved from an endemo-epidemic to a hyper-endemic state. In late 2013, the first local transmission of chikungunya virus in the Americas was identified in Caribbean countries and territories including French Guiana. Rapidly, more than 16,000 suspected local Health authorities had reported cases. In May 2015, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) issued an alert regarding the first confirmed Zika virus infections in Brazil. The emergence of Zika virus in South America led to a rapid spread throughout South and Central America, reaching French Guiana in December 2015. With the increasing frequency of epidemics related to arbovirus and the resulting health, social, and economic impacts of dengue, the surveillance of arbovirus have become social, political, and public health challenges that require specific and non-available immune status information.
There is currently no consensus on the normal ultrasound surface of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. The goal of this study is to study the ulnar nerve surface at the elbow in a population of asymptomatic subjects
The objective of PERFECTO is to assess the reendothelialization at 3 months after successfully CTO percutaneous intervention (PCI) with new generation drug eluting stent (DES) by OFDI analysis. Designed as a multicentric, observational and prospective study which will be conducted at University Hospital of Poitiers (France), a systematic OFDI analysis will be realized immediately after CTO-PCI and at 3 months. Known as major predictive factors of stent thrombosis, percentages of malapposition, uncovered struts and neointimal hyperplasia proliferation will be measured over the entire length of each stent implanted combining in a composite primary endpoint.
In this study, the accuracy of a new numerical method is evaluated for predicting the 3D effect of brace on idiopathic scoliosis. This method results from the combination of several innovative technologies: the EOS imaging system and the anatomical transfer developed by Anatoscope. This is an essential step in validating a digital tool that can be used in routine clinical practice.
Assessment of pulmonary fibrosis is currently based on high-resolution CT (HRCT) and pulmonary function tests (PFT) such as forced vital capacity, (FVC) and carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO). These techniques allow a semi-quantitative analysis of the pulmonary disease but are imperfect. The mains weaknesses are the lack of reproducibility, the limited sensitivity and for CT the resulting radiation dose. Recent advances in MRI sequences allow exploring the lung parenchyma with millimeter slice thickness. Development of computer-assisted post-processing such as elastic registration opens new perspectives in the functional study of the lung parenchyma, especially the analysis of its deformation during the respiratory cycle and therefore of its elasticity. Pulmonary involvement in scleroderma is present in 70 to 100% of patients and is the leading cause of death. Initial assessment of pulmonary involvement and follow-up are important for therapeutic decisions and patient prognosis. Quantitative analysis should be developed to reliably evaluate pulmonary fibrosis and increase the reproducibility. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the feasibility of quantifying pulmonary fibrosis by successively performing full inspiration then full expiration volumetric MR acquisitions using a VIBE - Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold examination sequence. Post processing of the 2 volumes using elastic registration is performed to evaluate pulmonary deformation in the normal and fibrotic lung areas, hypothesizing that it would be different.
This is a single-arm, multi-site, single-dose, Phase 3 study in approximately 18 participants less than or equal to (<=) 50 years of age with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT), who have a β0/β0, β0/IVS-I-110, or IVS-I-110/IVS-I-110 genotype. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using LentiGlobin BB305 Drug Product.
Despite the increasing popularity of mindfulness meditation and hypnosis in healthcare and in the general community the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are unclear. The change in the relationship between the self and the conscious experience that they bring about may be crucial. This study aims to identify the neural correlates of self-consciousness in meta-awareness and absorption - using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in healthy participants combined with detailed first-person experiential accounts and behavioural tasks. This study will provide important clues about the widely reported effects of mindfulness meditation and hypnosis and shed light on the neural correlates of the conscious experience of self.
The coverage of the diabetes is a multidisciplinary care, with practitioners' implication(hospital and liberal), and other medical and paramedical profession: doctor, pharmacist, male nurse, nutritionist, etc. In fact there is a real importance of link between hospital and general medecine outside. That's why the pharmacist's presence during the hospitalization seems to be a good alternative to make the link between hospital and the outside pharmacist where patient take his treatment. Hospital pharmacis proceed to a treatment conciliation at the entrance and at discharge. By this conciliation the aim of the study is to show and quantify the impact of pharmacist presence on therapeutic target .
