Filter by:Soccer is an intermittent sport in which the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the players are both very important. Elite football players perform an average of 150-250 short and intense movements during a match, demonstrating the significant contribution of the anaerobic energy system. Speed endurance training consists a tool to enhance the performance of aerobic and anaerobic system. This training includes actions such as sprinting, changes of direction, accelerations, decelerations, jumps and shooting, characterized by a strong eccentric component. Eccentric actions are associated with exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD). Nevertheless, to date, EIMD responses following a session of speed endurance training have not yet been investigated. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine the EIMD responses and changes on performance and neuromuscular fatigue indices after two different speed endurance training protocols.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in comparison to moderate-intensity continuous training (MCT) on blood pressure, blood vessel function, and blood pressure reactivity.
Open-label, Phase I-II, first-in-human (FIH) study for A166 monotherapy in HER2-expressing or amplified patients who progressed on or did not respond to available standard therapies. Patients must have documented HER2 expression or amplification. The patient must have exhausted available standard therapies. Patients will receive study drug as a single IV infusion. Cycles will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This is an open-label Phase 1b/2 multicenter study of rebastinib (DCC-2036) in combination with paclitaxel designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The objective of this research project is to develop Magnetic Resonance Elastography by Intrinsic Activation (MRE-IA) imaging methods at two imaging centers (CRCHUS and CRCHUM) for use in ongoing studies in liver disease and neurovascular imaging. MRE is a developing MR imaging modality that provides detailed maps of tissue's mechanical properties, based on displacement measurements made during the propagation of low amplitude vibrations through the region of interest. MRE-IA uses the pressure pulses of the cardiac cycle to induce the vibrations needed for MRE image reconstruction. MRE-IA has already been demonstrated based on the use of existing, clinically approved MR imaging sequences, and once this capability has been established at the two centers, initial trials will be done to demonstrate the method's potential in liver and neurovascular imaging. In the case of the liver, this pilot project funding will be used to perform MRE-IA imaging in patients with chronic liver disease and focal liver lesions. Results will be analyzed to establish the relationship between the mechanical properties mentioned above and disease stage. In the neurovascular case, imaging will be conducted under basic visual and motor stimulus conditions in healthy subjects, and results compared non-stimulus control images to determine changes in the above properties based on brain function. In addition, MRE-IA images will be compared with BOLD imaging to investigate the role of fluid conductivity in fMRI results.
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that, irrespective of the degree of interstiaI lung disease and/or pulmonary arterial hypertension, the combined measurement of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, might be useful to provide a mechanistic interpretation of changes of diffusion subcomponents in systemic sclerosis (SSc).
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is one of the most frequent cerebral malformations and is now diagnosed prenatally in most cases. Prenatal counseling is then challenging because of uncertain neurodevelopmental outcome, depending on the genetic cause of ACC. Our purpose is to evaluate the feasibility of sequencing known genes responsible for ACC by whole exome sequencing (WES) in trio (fetus and both parents) when ACC is diagnosed during the pregnancy, in order to provide complete and loyal information on the intellectual prognosis for the fetus.
Background: Computer aided auscultation in the differentiation of pathologic (AHA class I) from no- or innocent murmurs (AHA class III) via artificial intelligence algorithms could be a useful tool to assist healthcare providers in identifying pathological heart murmurs and may avoid unnecessary referrals to medical specialists. Objective: Assess the quality of the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that autonomously detects and classifies heart murmurs as either pathologic (AHA class I) or as no- or innocent (AHA class III). Hypothesis: The algorithm used in this study is able to analyze and identify pathologic heart murmurs (AHA class I) in an adult population with valve defects with a similar sensitivity compared to medical specialist. Methods: Each patient is auscultated and diagnosed independently by a medical specialist by means of standard auscultation. Auscultation findings are verified via gold-standard echocardiogram diagnosis. For each patient, a phonocardiogram (PCG) - a digital recording of the heart sounds - is acquired. The recordings are later analyzed using the AI algorithm. The algorithm results are compared to the findings of the medical professionals as well as to the echocardiogram findings.
The Temocillin prescription frequency may be increased in order to reduce the use of carbapenems to reduce the progressive increase in carbapenem resistance observed in recent years. The investigators wish to study the responsibility of Temocillin in the occurrence of adverse effects in patients in the hospital of Amiens receiving a treatment containing this molecule.
