Anemia is a common health problem. Depending on a geographical region, anemia affects even 50% of population. Among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) anemia may affect as much as 66% of patients. Moreover, many patients develop anemia during the ICU stay. In general population the most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency (ID). The investigators lack information on the incidence of ID and anemia of inflammation (AI) with absolute ID (mixed type of anemia: AI + IDA) or functional ID (AI) in patients with sepsis or septic shock hospitalised in the ICU. Therefore, the aim of the study is to improve diagnosis of iron deficiency (ID) and anemia of inflammation (AI) with absolute ID (AI + IDA) or functional ID (AI) in patients with sepsis or septic shock. ID have negative effects on the body and is associated with impaired production of proteins responsible for transport of oxygen in the blood (hemoglobin) and oxygen storage (myoglobin), and impaired immune function. Development of anemia is associated with well documented complications: organ hypoxia, myocardial infarction, stroke, infection. Replenishment of iron at this early stage may potentially prevent IDA. It is advantageous to replenish iron stores in order to avoid these complications, especially in patients with sepsis or septic shock. In IDA red blood cell transfusion is not recommended as it leads to other numerous complications. Therefore the patients presenting with laboratory results suggesting ID will receive divided doses od parenteral iron. Monitoring of iron replenishment will be based on a new laboratory parameter- reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent.
The investigators aim to examine the impact of changes in plasma lipoproteins induced by nutritional and pharmacological interventions on glucose homeostasis
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of VCTX210A combination product in patients with T1D
This is phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of the investigational product GNR-055 in MPS II (Hunter syndrome) patients of different age groups.
This study aims to assess whether an integrated continuum of care from the preconception period, across maternity until the first 18 months of life, can promote maternal metabolic and mental health, as well as offspring health, among overweight and obese women.
Screening for sulfur amino acid metabolism pathologies using a sulfitest in adult patients with psychotic disorder.
The latest international research shows that supplementation of hydrogen molecules as an aid, adjuvant, can speed up the course of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and possible efficacy of hydrogen supplements in different dose exposures for a clinical study in rheumatologic and metabolic patients. Patients will receive a different dosage of hydrogen capsules with their conventional treatment for a month. Investigators will test for any changes in haematologic, urine analysis and health status during and following the exposure period.
The overall aim is to delineate the contribution of ghrelin to glucose tolerance after sleeve gastrectomy. The hypothesis is that decreased concentration of ghrelin after SG is of importance for improved insulin secretion and glucose tolerance seen after SG. The expectation is therefore that infusion of ghrelin will impair insulin secretion and glucose tolerance compared with a control day without ghrelin infusion.
This clinical study will investigate Jejunal Microbiota in Metabolic Diseases (Je-MiMe, n=45) and Colonic mucosa-associated Microbiota in Metabolic Diseases (Col-MiMe, n=45). Each cohort (Je and Col -MiMe) is composed of three groups: participants with obesity (n=15) with obesity and with type II diabetes (n=15). This research protocol is organized in two parts. Each part of this study will recruit 45 participants that are only recruited in one of the parts of the protocol (JE-MIME or COL-MIME). Thus, in total, the study will include 90 patients. Each part of this study is composed of 3 groups: 1) "Control Group ", 2) Obese group (Ob), 3) Obese and Type 2 Diabetes group (ObD). Control groups for part I (JE-MIME) and part 2 (COL-MIME) are composed of different participants. Each group is composed of 15 human adult volunteers for the JE-MIME study (part 1) and 15 participants for the COL-MIME study (part 2). Total number of participants is 45 for part 1, and 45 for part 2. Total number for this project is 90. Microbiota wil be collected during an endoscopy or coloscopy which is planned as routine care for the patients. Primary objectives are to characterize jejunal (JE-MIME, Part I of the study) and colonic mucosa-associated microbiota (COLMIME, Part II of the study) and compare both microbiota to faecal microbiota (evaluate differences and similarities between jejunal microbiota or mucus-associated microbiota and faecal microbiota). Secondary objectives are to 1) Correlate microbiota with metabolic health and inflammatory markers; 2) Correlate microbiota with lifestyle and neuropsychological health. Both the jejunal microbiota and mucus-associated microbiota are strong integrators of nutritional environment and intestinal health status, respectively, compared to the fecal microbiota. This study will help to better understand the physiopathology of metabolic diseases. This research could lead to finding specific microbiota members, either from the jejunal compartment or from the inner mucus layer, crucial for the promotion / protection of chronic intestinal inflammation and associated metabolic health.
