The primary objective of this study is to conduct a 16-week randomized controlled trial aimed at investigating the effectiveness of the Whole-Diet Approach when following a healthy US-style diet rich in anti-inflammatory properties. The study will focus on evaluating its impact on reducing symptoms related to Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PACS) in adults aged 50 years and older. The main research questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does adhering to a healthy US-style diet, which is abundant in anti-inflammatory properties, effectively mitigate fatigue symptoms in adults with PACS? 2. Does adhering to a healthy US-style diet, which is abundant in anti-inflammatory properties, effectively mitigate declines in muscle function and physical performance in adults with PACS? At the beginning of the study, eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the Dietary Intervention Group, where they will receive personalized dietary plans and weekly sessions, or the Attention Control Group, where they will attend general health sessions on a weekly basis as well. This research intends to shed light on the potential benefits of the Whole-Diet Approach and its role in ameliorating PACS-related symptoms among older adults. By comparing the outcomes of the two groups, we hope to gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of this dietary intervention in improving the quality of life for individuals dealing with PACS.
The Study aims to determine the proposed positive influence of Sitagliptin in manipulating hormonal , metabolic and inflammatory parameters in the treatment of Polycystic ovary syndrome and subsequent infertility
Ambispective, national, multicenter observational cohort study aimed at characterizing the satellite dysimmune manifestations of clonal hematopoiesis, including Vexas (Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, Autoinflammatory and Somatic) syndrome.
The study seeks to delve into the firsthand experiences of patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome who partake in a separate clinical trial featuring a specific medical intervention. The primary emphasis will be on meticulously tracking the rates of trial completion and withdrawal among these individuals. The data collected from this study will help improve future outcomes for all chronic fatigue syndrome patients as well as those in under-represented demographic groups.
Dapagliflozin is the first SGLT2 inhibitor to be approved for CKD treatment regardless of diabetes status. Since many etiologies of non-diabetic nephropathy are characterized by intraglomerular hypertension, it was hypothesized that dapagliflozin acutely decreases GFR and proteinuria in patients without diabetes at risk of progressive kidney function loss such as nephrotic patients via a glucose independent hemodynamic mechanism. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of Dapagliflozin on proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate in non-diabetic patients with nephrotic syndrome in order to slow the decline in kidney function and the progression to ESRD and to prevent the complications of nephrotic syndrome like thrombotic diseases, peritonitis, hyperuricemia, and recurrent infections.
Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common genetic predisposition syndrome for colorectal cancer (CRC), responsible for around 2-4% of cancers. It is characterized by a pathogenic germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes (path_MMR) MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 or a deletion in the 3' region of the Epcam gene. Patients followed up for LS are at high risk of developing CRC at an early age, and have a high cumulative CRC risk. In this context, CRC screening by colonoscopy is of major importance, as it is associated with a reduction in both CRC incidence and mortality. In France, the Institut National du Cancer (INCa) recommends colonoscopy with indigo carmine chromoendoscopy (CE), as it is associated with a significant increase in the adenoma detection rate (ADR) compared with white light. However, EC is not routinely performed in clinical practice, as it is a time-consuming technique requiring a dedicated slot with a trained operator. Recent years have seen the emergence of artificial intelligence techniques for real-time polyp detection aids or CADe devices. These easy-to-use systems have shown very promising results compared with high-definition (HD) white light. Indeed, data from the first meta-analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials (4354 patients) confirmed a significantly higher ADD in the CADe group than in the HD group (36.6% vs. 25.2%; 95% CI], 1.27-1.62; P < 0.01; I2 Z 42%) 10. The CAD EYE system (Fujifilm) is a CADe device supporting both detection (sensitivity > 95%) and characterization of colonic polyps in real time. To date, artificial intelligence has never been evaluated for CRC screening in patients followed up for LS. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CAD EYE system in this specific population. To this end, we intend to conduct a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial comparing CAD EYE with CE in patients with LS.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) are both frequent respiratory diseases with estimated prevalences between 8 and 15% of the adult population. Because of those high prevalences those two entities are often associated in same patients (1 to 4% of the general population). This association is then referred to as Overlap Syndrome (CO-OS). Data from observational studies suggest that this association may have an additive or even synergistic negative impact on patient's prognosis. Indeed, in a cohort of patients diagnosed as having a CO-OS, patients who did not receive specific treatment for OSA had a 76% increased risk of death compared to patients treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and a 2-fold increased risk of acute COPD exacerbation. In another cohort of patients with both OSA and severe oxygen treated COPD, untreated patients for OSA had a 5-fold increased risk of death compared to patients treated with CPAP. There are strong signals from observational studies in support of a beneficial impact of CPAP therapy on respiratory outcomes in patients with CO-OS. However, those findings are not supported by any controlled study. It is difficult to directly transpose the observational data to current clinical practice in the context of the recent studies on the impact of CPAP on OSA prognosis. Indeed, data from similar observational OSA cohorts have reported a major impact of CPAP on the overall survival and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with OSA. Ten years later, this impact has not been confirmed by several randomized studies. To date, there is no consensus on a systematic screening and, if present, management of OSA in patients with COPD. The need for specific research on that field was emphasized in 2018 in an official American Thoracic Society Research Statement which recommends "randomized trials that compare clinical outcomes among patients with Overlap Syndrome whose OSA is treated to clinical outcomes among patients with Overlap Syndrome whose OSA is untreated".
Kosaki overgrowth syndrome (KOGS) and Penttinen syndrome (PS) are extremely rare multisystem disorders caused by heterozygous activating variants of the PDGFRB gene. KOGS results in characteristic craniofacial, orthopedic, skin and neurological disorders. PS is a progeroid disease responsible for a prematurely aged appearance. Patients suffer significant morbidity and mortality due to various complications. Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) targeting PGDFRB appear to be a potential treatment option, as evidenced by a few case reports showing clinical improvement in some patients, with modest and self-resolving side effects. The natural history of these two syndromes remains poorly understood as only case-reports have been published. Therefore, an international consortium was created in December 2019 by Pr FAIVRE (CHU Dijon Bourgogne & ERN ITHACA) to follow treated and untreated patients in a real-life, multicentre, observational study, in order to expand our knowledge of these ultra-rare diseases. In the longer term, we believe that TKIs could bring clinical benefit to KOGS/PS patients.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and one of the leading causes of infertility. PCOS and obesity affect up to 12.5% - 48.3% Asian women, increase incidence of impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes and aggravate insulin resistance, cause ovulatory dysfunction and menstrual disorders, and negatively impact outcomes of Assited Reproductive Technology (ART), with higher miscarriage rate when receiving ART. Weight loss decrease insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, improve ovulation rate and menstrual cycle, significantly higher conception and live birth rates. Weight loss prior to IVF procedures has been associated with significantly improved pregnancy rates (PR) and live birth rates. Furthermore, a decreased number of IVF cycles required to achieve a pregnancy has also been reported after weight loss interventions. Based on the principles of fetal programming, improving a lifestyle before conception might lead to improved longterm health of the offspring. Studies on the effect of anti-obesity medication combined with lifestyle changes on body weight and composition and metabolic - endocrine parameters and pregnancy rate in obese women diagnosed with PCOS are lacking. There is a growing need to develop pharmacologic interventions to improve metabolic function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
