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 a sample of 300 employees of the Limoges University Hospital, it is proposed to explore the intraindividual and interindividual variability of urinary concentrations of glyphosate and 320 other pesticides. The employees will fill a questionary in which will allow to explore the relationships between the concentrations, lifestyle and dietary habits.
Background: Primary or secondary brain tumors (metastases) remain associated with a very poor prognosis linked to significant therapeutic resistance. Thus, glioblastoma, which is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, is associated with inevitable relapses within 7 to 10 months and median survival of approximately 12 to 14 months. At the same time, brain metastases are increasingly increasing following better systemic control of other metastatic sites and improvement in detection methods. However, they remain resistant to the latest therapeutic innovations such as immunotherapies or targeted therapies. In this context, innovative strategies are necessary to identify new therapeutic targets and implement new treatments to overcome resistance phenomena in the clinic. Objective: Our goal will be to generate tumoroids and stem-like cell lines (PDX) from patient tumor samples. Methods: We will establish tumor tumoroids and stem cell lines from patient samples. These preclinical models will allow us to test a large number of drugs, quickly and efficiently thanks to models as close as possible to patient tumors and limiting the use of animal models (3R). Overall, this project should enable major advances in the treatment of glioblastoma and brain metastases and enable the rapid testing of new molecules in clinical trials thanks to the homology of our models with our patients' diseases.
Multimodal intraoperative minimal-invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) liver surgery images will be registered to each other. Explicitly, these are the ultrasound and laparoscope images. Once they are registered, they will reveal the hidden tumor's location to the surgeon in real time through augmented reality. The intraoperative augmentation will also be enriched with the preoperative data (e.g., CT or MRI). This will simplify minimal invasive liver surgery, improve surgical safety and accuracy. It will also shorten hospital stays and contribute to an overall better quality of life for the patient, which in return will reduce the health-care costs.
observational study, measurement of efficacy in the cohort.
Nature of potential dysbiosis, interrelation of the different microbiomes of the respiratory tract, and potential role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of severe asthma in infants, and its evolution under treatment. Exploring and understanding these data is to improve patient care and discover new therapeutic targets. The aim is to open up prospects for therapeutic studies, such as the use of azithromycin as an immunomodulator in infant asthma, the results of which are discordant.
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a determinant progress to study retinal and choroidal vasculature without using a dye injection. OCT-A yields interesting results in different pathologies such as diabetes mellitus, age-related macular degeneration, hypertension blood pressure, particularly by affecting vascular density. Normative database are necessary to compare OCT-A parameters between patients and controls. However, OCT-A devices from different manufactures may give different values for the same subject. It seems to be obvious that each OCT-A device should have its own normative database. In the literature, OCT-A normative databases are developing using different types of devices, but none is available for Heidelberg OCT-A in Caucasians. The purpose of this project is to create a normative database of retinal microvascularisation using Spectralis Heidelberg optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) ® in normal controls.
Fluid management is one of the key issues in the initial management of septic shock (SS). Fluid overload and hypovolemia have been associated with increased mortality in several trials. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and lung ultrasound are recommended for haemodynamic assessment in critically ill patients. However, the benefit of hemodynamic optimisation using echography has not been yet evaluated. The purpose of this multicenter, controlled, randomized trial is to assess the impact of an echocardiographic algorithm of hemodynamic optimization on fluid management in septic patients during the first 4 days of therapy.
The study consists of having participants complete quality of life questionnaires (PROMs) at the time of the cures +/- one week and in the middle of the intercure time +/- one week. As all the collection times do not correspond to a consultation or a visit to a medical service, The investigator wanted to develop a remote, computerized data collection solution. Researchers have programmed an AURA-RIV-TNE care pathway (MOCAs: Engine for the organization and coordination of health acts) on the myHCL patient environment, taking up the course of the study presented in the form of a table in paragraph 6.2. Once the patient consents to participate in the study, he must create an account on the patient interface of his investigation center (myHCL, myCHUGA etc) as much as possible to facilitate data extraction. Once the patient consents to participate in the study, the MOCAs AURA-RIV-TNE course will be associated with him in the Easily software, by defining the date week 0 (baseline) of the first treatment. This will allow automated sending of MAIL and SMS reminders at each questionnaire time. The MAILs will contain an internet link allowing the participant to be directly written to the questionnaires to be completed. A reminder system will be possible if the patient does not complete the questionnaire.
This study will investigate the link between the gut microbiota, the occurrence of the central adiposity phenotype, and the patients' fear to regain weight in anorexia nervosa.
This observational study aims to estimate the prevalence of women from 1 to 4 years postpartum in Yvelines, who are suspected to suffer from postpartum depression, using the Edinburg Post natal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Patient Heath Questionnaire 2 (PHQ2) and evaluate the factors that could be linked to it.
