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.
Autophagy and apoptosis are natural cellular mechanisms which consist for the first in a recycling and elimination process of potentially toxic cellular waste, and for the second in a process of cellular suicide when it becomes abnormal and "not" repairable, notably by autophagy. A deficit in autophagic function at the cellular level can lead to chronic inflammation and accelerated cellular senescence. Apoptosis is a beneficial phenomenon because it eliminates abnormal cells that could endanger the organism if it survives (e.g. karyotypic atypia). Uncontrolled, it can be deleterious if apoptosis is hypo or hyperactive.
In the early 1980s and following the first publications by Jenkins et al., The notion of glycemic index (GI) appeared with the aim of classifying the different sources of carbohydrates in our diet according to their effect on the post-prandial glycemic response. Since these years, many studies have been designed to determine the usefulness of the glycemic index and indicate that a low glycemic index for a food, a dish, a meal or a diet is associated with a decreased risk of metabolic pathologies (diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia), degenerative (cardiovascular diseases) or overload (obesity). This justifies the interest in favoring foods with a low glycemic index in healthy subjects. A review confirmed the mechanistic link between postprandial blood sugar and the variability of blood sugar, making it possible, on the one hand, to maintain good glucose homeostasis and, on the other hand, to prevent pathologies such as obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases. The EFSA also considers that reducing the increase in blood sugar in the post-meal phase can be considered a physiological benefit, especially in subjects with glucose intolerance. Post-meal blood sugar depends on many factors including the glycemic index of foods eaten during the meal. Knowing the glycemic index of foods is therefore very useful. Mademoiselle Dessert offers pastries with a low glycemic index. The objective of this study is thus to determine the glycemic index of 6 pastries in order to inform consumers on these pastries glycemic index.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of nutraceutical supplement on depressed mood and anhedonia in volunteers after 8 weeks of consumption.
Conversion disorders, also called "dissociative disorders" (ICD-10), or "functional neurological disorders" (DSM-5), are a common condition, with a prevalence of 1-10% in medical and surgical inpatients (Toone 1990), and 10-30% in neurology patients (Carson et al. 2000). They are characterized by the presence of symptoms or deficits affecting voluntary motor, sensory, or sensory functions suggestive of a neurological or general medical condition in combination with psychological factors. Functional neurological disorder is currently a diagnosis of elimination and its treatment remains uncodified. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of this disorder is needed to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to this condition. Identifying new biological markers associated with motor symptoms occurring during the course of the functional neurological disorder would allow clinicians to acquire new diagnostic methods, to improve therapeutic means and their specificity and to highlight possible predictive factors of the clinical evolution of this pathology. At the same time, the identification of biological markers associated with motor symptoms will allow the patient to better understand and accept the diagnosis, and thus to better adhere to the proposed treatment.
Clinical and biological assessments of volemia are challenging in older patients as they are more likely to present non-typical signs. Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) using heart and lung exploration is a relevant tool to assess volemia in adults with little data in older adults. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate feasibility of positional POCUS in aging patients. The secondary objectives are to assess the variability of measurements between decubitus and sitting position.
In a non-randomized, controlled, cross-over simulation study, the investigators evaluated and compared intubation performance of trained operators, using either a conventional laryngoscope in an ice-pick position or a video laryngoscope in a free-floating classic position, in weightlessness and in normogravity. Data were analyzed with the generalized linear mixed-effects models. Primary endpoint was the success rate of tracheal intubation. Time to intubation and the confidence score into the success of tube placement were also recorded as secondary endpoints.
Primary Objective: -Assess the effectiveness of cemiplimab versus other available systemic therapies in patients up to 2018 or say historical system organ class (SOC) with metastatic or locally advanced cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CSCC) who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation, on overall survival (OS). Secondary Objectives: - Assess Progression Free Survival (PFS) - To assess Duration of Response (DOR) - To assess Objective Response Rate (ORR) - To describe adverse events leading to treatment interruptions and deaths
Tinnitus is a widespread problem that affects the quality of life of millions globally. Few treatments have been found to be effective for subjective tinnitus and to have a significant improvement on quality of life. In subjective tinnitus, neither an external nor endogenous sound source is present; instead, the tinnitus is caused by abnormal bioelectric, biomechanical, or biochemical activity in the inner ear and/or central nervous system. The precise role of the numerous extra-auditory structures that contribute to the pathophysiology of tinnitus is difficult to establish. Some of them participate in the creation or in the chronification of tinnitus and some in the psychological reactions to the tinnitus. Audistim contains ingredients with a specific composition based upon the multifactorial causal theory; which involves auditory, attentional, memory, and emotional systems. These different systems are being targeted by the ingredients and their specific proportioning. Also the antioxidant theory is involved in the creation of Audistim, it states that the reactive oxygen species play an important microcirculatory role in the pathology of the inner ear and the peripheral and central pathways. These components help to treat the multitude of causing factors and in that way improve the quality of life.
The ULTREC research project is designed to assess the safety of a negative strategy relying on Colour Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS) for excluding the diagnosis of a new thrombosis. The ULTREC project does not take into account the validity of the CDUS positive criteria used to confirm the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) recurrence. The risk of considering only the negative strategy is to ignore the possibility of having an improvement in sensitivity and negative predictive value at the expense of specificity and positive predictive value and therefore to increase the false positive rate leading to an overdiagnosis of recurrence and an overtreatment, and a potential bleeding risk. In the ULTREC-ANCILLARY study, the research will aim at assessing the validity of baseline CDUS positive criteria for the diagnosis of DVT recurrence. As there is no diagnostic standard to which the results could be compared, it is suggested to validate these criteria based on the evolution of the thrombosis on CDUS performed at D90±5. The hypothesis is that an unchanged appearance under anticoagulation would be in favor of sequelae and will invalidate the initial diagnosis (diagnostic failure)
