Filter by:Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is present in the maternal blood from the early first trimester of gestation and makes up 5%-20% of the total circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in maternal plasma. Its presence in maternal plasma has allowed development of noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for single-gene disorders (SGD-NIPD). This can be performed from 9 weeks of amenorrhea and offers an early, safe and accurate definitive diagnosis without the miscarriage risk associated with invasive procedures. One of the major difficulties is distinguishing fetal genotype in the high background of maternal cfDNA, which leads to several technical and analytical challenges. Besides, unlike noninvasive prenatal testing for aneuploidy, NIPD for monogenic diseases represent a smaller market opportunity, and many cases must be provided on a bespoke, patient- or disease-specific basis. As a result, implementation of SGD-NIPD remained sparse, with most testing being delivered in a research setting. The present project aims to take advantage of the unique French collaborative network to make SGD-NIPD possible for theoretically any monogenic disorder and any family.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in a total of approximately 2000 patients with cardiovascular disease recruited from about 25 participating sites in China with eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or UACR>30 mg/g at least twice 3 months apart within the previous 12 months who had been hospitalized in the cardiology department within the previous 12 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To estimate the diagnosis rate of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD - To describe the CKD awareness and treatment pattern in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD. - To describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD Participants will be invited to undergo a baseline visit, and the demographics, lifestyle factors, clinical characteristics, and laboratory tests will be collected.
RATIONALE: Pompe disease (PD) is a recessive genetic disorder wherein the body cannot break down glycogen due to a mutation in the acid alpha glucosidase (GAA) gene, which encodes for acid alpha-glucosidase. The adult/late onset form (LOPD) leads to glycogen accumulation and autophagic buildup, causing progressive muscle weakness that leads to wheelchair dependence, reduced quality of life and premature death due to cardiorespiratory insufficiency. While nutritional strategies, such as the low carbohydrate/high protein and ketogenic diets, have been used clinically, they are difficult to maintain and have limited benefits. Multi-ingredient supplementation (MIS) allows for targeting of several underlying pathogenic pathways and may be more convenient than traditional dietary strategies, thereby improving both adherence and LOPD pathology.
Objective: the pre-hospital management of cancers is little known in General Medicine. The first lockdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of health facilities. Investigators were interested in the diagnosis and care pathway of digestive cancers in post-confinement in General Medicine in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Duration of Treatment: 7 days, 2 times per day. Following Randomization on Week 1 Day 1, Subjects will continue to have televisits and rate symptoms and upright activity weekly during a 5 week follow up. Subjects will be followed via in clinic visits at week 2/day 8 (+3/-0 days) and Week 6 / day 36, (+3/-3days). Subjects will receive a weekly televisit during Week 3 / day 15 (+3/-3), Week 4 / day 22 (+3/-3), and Week 5 / day 29 (+3/-3).
The overall study objectives outlined in this study are to derive 129Xe MRI pulmonary vascular biomarker signatures that differentiate common subtypes of PAH and to determine the ability of 129Xe MRI to longitudinally monitor disease progression and response to therapy in PAH, with the aid of additional assessments, such as labs, echocardiography, and six-minute walk distance (6MWD).
The aim of this study is to assess bioequivalence between a single oral dose from the test product Metformin / Vildagliptin tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by SAIPH versus the reference product Galvumet® tablets (850 mg as metformin hydrochloride / 50 mg as vildagliptin) manufactured by Novartis. This study also aims to monitor the safety of the subjects. This study is an open-label, randomized, fed, single oral dose, two-treatment, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study with a washout interval of at least one week between dosing. Eighteen (18) Tunisian subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be healthy volunteers, adults, aged between eighteen to fifty (18-50) years, (both inclusive), within the accepted limits for body height & weight and meeting the selection criteria for this study
A brief survey for the public to determine interest in health surveillance and disease detection
In this study, we will prospectively recruit 100,000 individuals, including gastric cancer patients who have not undergone any anti-tumor treatment and non-gastric cancer participants. We will construct a diagnostic model for malignant tumors based on the combination of tongue imaging, tongue coating, saliva, and fecal multi-omics data (including metagenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.). Additionally, it will explore the relationship between oral and intestinal microbiota and the development of malignant tumors.
Combining the results of previous studies and based on the clinical practice in our center, we designed the Venetoclax in combination with 3days-Decitabine regimen for induction therapy in elderly or unfit AML patients with a primary diagnosis, and set Venetoclax in combination with Azacitidine (VIALE-A) as a control group to compare the efficacy and safety and to provide evidence for the optimal selection of the clinical treatment regimen. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: To assess whether Venetoclax in combination with 3 days-diascitabine versus standard dose Venetoclax in combination with azacitidine improves event-free survival (EFS) in elderly or adult patients with unfit AML during the maximum follow-up period. Event-free survival was defined as the absence of events such as treatment failure, intolerance withdrawal, all-cause death, or achievement of CR or CRi, or relapse after MLFS, whichever occurred first, between patients' randomization and the maximum follow-up period. Treatment failure was defined as failure to achieve CR or CRi, MLFS after 2 courses of induction therapy.
