Filter by:The investigators will conduct a prospective study, in which they will determine sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of late evening urinary free cortisol concentration/creatinine and hair cortisol in differentiating Cushing's syndrome from Pseudo-Cushing's syndrome.
Adherence to treatment in post-acute coronary syndrome patients has been found to be poor in several studies. Pharmacists play a significant role in enhancing medication adherence and reducing rates of mortality and re-admission to hospital by performing medication reconciliation and tailoring, and patient education. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of pharmacist-delivered multifaceted intervention on medication adherence and clinical outcomes of post-acute coronary syndrome patients. The study will be designed as a randomised controlled trial with blinded outcome assessors. The population includes patients who survive during hospitalisation with discharge diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. Pharmacist-delivered multifaceted intervention consists of two counselling sessions within 1 week before and after hospital discharge including medication reconciliation and tailoring, and support with pill organiser and drug information leaflet. Primary outcome measure is the proportion of patients adherent to medication at 1 month after discharge. Secondary outcome measures are the proportions of patients (1) adherent to medication at 3 months after discharge, (2) readmitted to hospital and (3) dying within 3 months after discharge. The investigators also measure (4) the change in quality of life and (5) beliefs about medicines from baseline at 3 months.
The purpose of that register is to collect medical information about patients suffering of APS with or without associated SLE.
MDS are a diverse group of hematopoietic malignancies, which mainly occur in patients over 75 years of age. Incidence rate in 2012 in France was more than 6 cases per 100 000 person-years. MDS are characterized by ineffective haematopoiesis causing cytopenia, and by leukemic transformation. The disease is heterogeneous, its pathophysiology complex and clinical evolution variable.The few data available on MDS patients show how difficult it is to understand MDS, its prognosis and the reasons for prescribing or not some treatments. In the context of a highly complex potentially lethal disease such as MDS, it is of utmost importance to optimize the information conveyed to patients. Particularly, 70.5% of MDS patients surveyed in our developmental study would have preferred more information about prognosis at diagnosis disclosure. A simple intervention based on the use of a question prompt list (QPL), would greatly improve the information process by helping patients to express their main concerns at their medical consultations. Cultural differences may exist in the appraisal of QPLs and QPLs have not yet been widely used in France. However, in line with the previous results available in the literature and in a context a priori favourable to the use of such an instrument, the investigators hypothesise that use of a QPL will increase MDS patients' expressions of concerns and questions at their medical consultations. Particularly the investigators assume that the discussion about prognosis will be facilitated, without increasing anxiety because patients remain free to ask or not for such information. The use of QPLs would also be a way to limit social inequalities related to insufficient information and to encourage patient-doctor communication and meeting of patient preferences which could lead to better health outcomes.
To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of ultra-low-dose decitabine in Chinese MDS
Multi-center study enrolling patients suspected or newly diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) overlap disorder, or idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS). Participants will be followed long term. Clinical data, blood, and tissue samples will be collected to establish a biorepository to facilitate the study of the natural history of MDS.
This is a single-arm non-interventional cohort study. This study is to describe the contemporary use of ticagrelor in a "real-world" setting, to reflect its acceptance and patients' compliance, and to observe its one-year safety in patients with acute coronary syndrome in Fuwai Hospital.
Functional dyspepsia (FD), which is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders with high disease burden. Postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) is a common subtype of FD. Although the effectiveness of Chinese herbal formula of Xiang-sha-liu-jun granule (XSLJG) for alleviating PDS symptoms has been assessed in previous studies, more convinced evidence of randomized placebo-controlled study is needed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential diagnostic and prognosis value of circulating microRNAs compared with cTnI for suspected ACS patients at the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU).
The intention of this trial is to investigate whether combined Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) and Desensitization (D) among patients with CRPS is clinically more effective than only D and to study changes in connectivity in the Default Mode Network before and after treatment.
