Filter by:Central nervous system (CNS) invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a fatal complication in immunocompromised patients. Confirming the diagnosis is rarely accomplished as invasive procedures are hampered by neutropenia and low platelet count. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures or galactomannan (GM) regularly yield negative results thus suggesting the need for improving diagnostics. Therefore the performance of an established Aspergillus-specific nested PCR in CSF samples of immunocompromised patients with suspicion of CNS IA will be evaluated.
Multicentre, diagnostic study evaluating the performance of an aspergillus-specific PCR in cerebrospinal fluid samples of immunocompromised patients for identification of central nervous system aspergillosis.
Good glycemic control is superior to poor glycemic control in reducing risk of interventricular septum thickness among fetuses of diabetic mothers
In France, primary cardiovascular and metabolic prevention is supported by the French National Program for Nutrition and Health (PNNS: Programme National Nutrition Santé). The investigators made the hypothesis that, independently of other diseases, the non adherence in PNNS guidelines would lead to arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, change in microcirculation and in cardiac autonomic system. These changes may exist at fasting but also be reinforced after a standardised breakfast. The investigators aim is to evaluate arterial stiffness, endothelial function, microcirculation and cardiac autonomic system according to PNNS status in a case control study.
This study aims to examine dimensional alveolar ridge alterations and prevent buccal plate resorption and soft tissue recession following immediate implant placement in extraction sockets in the maxillary esthetic zone using different socket morphology-guided treatment modalities. Expected results of the study are: - To have found the optimal materials and GBR procedures modalities for buccal plate resorption degree reduction; - Soft tissue recession and best esthetic result achievement. There will be possibilities to study socket morphology influence on final esthetic result achievement.
The purpose of this study is to determine the anatomy of the retina and the optic nerve in patients with autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA). Based on these findings the aim of the study is to determine why patients with the same type of genetic material, i.e. the same mutation, have such large variations of symptoms, spanning from unaffected subjects to blindness. The project requires examination of both healthy and affected family members.
A research study of a compound containing vitamin E, silymarin and carnitine, three over the counter supplements. The investigators hope to learn if the new supplement can safely and successfully treat fatty liver disease or Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
The Astra Tech Osseospeed Profile Implant design when placed in the healed extraction site maintains the marginal bone level
Recent studies have shown that chronic stimulation of the right ventricle can cause deleterious effects to cardiac function and synchronicity. The occurrence and consequences of this phenomenon in children and young patients with cardiac pacemaker due to advanced atrioventricular block (AVB) are still unknown. Thus, our aims is to assess the chronic effects of cardiac pacing in children and young patients with advanced AVB and its impact on clinical, functional and echocardiographic parameters.
The ACRIN 7151 trial will use medical records abstraction data from participants with extracolonic findings (ECFs) reported from the ACRIN 6664 National CT Colonography Trial to: 1) measure incidence of diagnostic imaging, hospitalization, and interventional procedures associated with ECFs reported on computed tomography colonography (CTC), delineated by type of ECF; 2) determine potential predictors of follow-up diagnostic imaging, hospitalization, and interventional procedures, delineated by type of ECF; and 3) evaluate the clinical/pathologic diagnoses associated with indeterminate but potentially significant ECFs. These data can be used to incorporate ECFs into existing models on the cost-effectiveness of CTC in colorectal cancer screening and can potentially be used to develop guidelines for the reporting and management of ECFs.
