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.
Waiting for a proof by mycological culture is usually necessary before starting a systemic antifungal therapy. It therefore seems to us interesting to evaluate the benefit of using dermoscopy in clinical diagnosis of Tinea Capitis.
Huntington's disease is a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease. It is accompanied by movement disorders, cognitive and behavioral. The social behavior of patients are changed, affecting interpersonal relationships. Patients with Huntington's disease are described as self-centered, lacking sympathy and empathy and mentally inflexible. These behavioral problems can be a major source of anxiety for patients and their families. These disorders also have a negative impact cognitive and motor symptoms as well as the functional abilities and the quality of life of patients and their entourage. Authors have suggested that these problems could be related inter alia to social cognition disorders. This concept refers to a set of skills and emotional and social experiences that regulate relations between individuals and can explain the behavior of individuals and groups. The objective is to evaluate disorders of social cognition, which may account for behavioral changes in Huntington's disease.
This study has the objective to demonstrate that an education program could have a significant impact on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patient's skills with regards to their disease.
Evaluate the proportion of patients with an urticaria control test [UCT] score of greater than or equal to 12 at Week 12.
The primary objective is to evaluate digestive damage in CD 5 to 10 years after diagnosis in the GETAID centers included in the RAPID study. Secondary objective is to identify predictive factors of the evolution digestive damage.
Hemiplegic adults after stroke (stroke), children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) have both muscles spastic and paresis. These movement disorders are likely to cause muscle changes both structural and viscoelastic involved in the alteration of neuromotor functions such as walking. Therefore, it seems interesting to study the structure of these muscles with available imaging techniques. The medial gastrocnemius muscle presents architectural characteristics which allows easy evaluation 2D ultrasound. The literature lacks data on the reproducibility of the measurement, by 2D ultrasound, of the pennation angle and muscular thickness, particularly in children. In addition, the sonoelastometry by Supersonic ShearWave Imaging (SSI) is a new technique of ultrasound, non-invasive, dynamic, which allows the calculation of the modulus of elasticity within a muscle tissue. This allows to consider new perspectives evaluation of the viscoelastic properties of the muscle. No studies have evaluated the reproducibility of this method in adults/children/ adolescent after stroke and hemiplegia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) alone and in combination with either tremelimumab or AZD9150 in adult subjects with relapsed or refractory dIffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
The microcirculatory alterations is common in circulatory failure, especially during sepsis. The severity of these changes and their sustainability are responsible of multi organ failure and ultimately death. The optimization of microcirculatory flow could be a central objective of the management of patients hospitalized in intensive care. Microcirculation includes all blood vessels of a diameter smaller than 100 micrometer. It represents the largest heat exchange surface of the body and is involved in tissue oxygenation. Microcirculatory flow is conditioned by the macrocirculation (heart rate and blood pressure) and the state of the microcirculation (thrombosis, vasoconstriction ...). The role of the CO2 in regulating microcirculatory flow is little studied. A recent work of our team and the oldest work in the literature lead to believe that CO2 has a specific role in modulating microcirculatory flow. No study to date precisely studied the impact of changes in the microcirculatory flow carbonemia . The hypocapnia test is carried out in a standardized manner by inhalation of a mixture enriched in CO2 7% allows a significant increase in carbonemia. Hypocapnia will in turn obtained by a calibrated voluntary hyperventilation test. Direct visualization of microcirculation by confocal microscopy is now considered the gold standard for exploring the microcirculation.
The position of the head of the patient influences the cerebral venous return and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). In our daily practice, it is almost routine to prescribe a Trendelenburg position 30 ° in all brain-damaged patients. However, this is based only on precarious bibliographic databases. It has been shown to decrease the Intracranial Pressure (ICP) in Trendelenburg position relative to the horizontal, with varying effects on PPC. Effects on sylvian objectified by Doppler velocities and cerebral oxygenation seem unaffected by changes of position of the head of the patient. But the whole of the literature on this subject has significant bias.
The prevalence of non-specific neck pain is 12.1 / 1000 patients / year. Their support is most often based on analgesics combined with physical therapy. More recently authors have advocated the use of self-rehabilitation, that is to say, the use by the patient himself of physiotherapy exercises to perform at home regularly. However, if there are currently many studies on the effectiveness of self-rehabilitation for low back pain, there are few data on neck pain. In this context we have chosen to implement a prospective, randomized study, on the effectiveness of self-rehabilitation in patients with chronic neck pain.
