Filter by:Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) treatment is routinely prescribed in France. In order to be reimbursed according to the French Social Security rules, the patient treated with an ASV needs to be examined each year. In this observational transversal single-visit study, the investigators aim to describe the clinical characteristics of patients treated with ASV and the associated device settings.
Hypothesis / aims of study Urinary retention is uncommon in young women, and one cause is a primary disorder of urethral sphincter relaxation, characterised by an elevated urethral pressure profile and specific findings in the urethral sphincter EMG (Fowler's Syndrome). Women may present with symptoms of obstructed voiding or complete urinary retention. Clean intermittent self-catheterisation is often painful to perform and currently, the only treatment to show benefit is sacral neuromodulation. This aim of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy of urethral sphincter injections of botulinum toxin, defined as improvement of flow rates by more than 50%, improvement in residual volume and scores on the IPSS questionnaire, and safety, in women with Fowler's Syndrome. Study design, materials and methods In this open label pilot institutional review board approved study, ten women with a primary disorder of urethral sphincter relaxation (elevated urethral pressure profile (UPP), sphincter volume and abnormal EMG) presenting with obstructed voiding (n=5) or in complete urinary retention (n=5) are recruited from a single tertiary referral centre. Baseline symptoms are being assessed using the IPSS questionnaire, and urinary flow and post-void residual volume were measured. After 2% lidocaine injection, 100U of onabotulinumtoxintypeA is being injected into the striated urethral sphincter, divided on either side, under EMG guidance. Patients are being reviewed at weeks 1, 4 and 10 post-treatment and symptoms are reassessed using the IPSS questionnaire, and urinary flow and post-void residual volume are being measured. The UPP is being repeated at week 4.
This study will try to determine if the measure of the platelet reactivity of the patients receiving from the ticagrelor continuation in an acute coronary syndrome handled by coronary angioplasty allows to predict the hemorrhagic risk.
Chronic anemia is the symptom most frequently found at diagnosis in low risk myelodysplastic syndrome. It generates an increased rate of morbidity and mortality in this population of patients whose median age is high and the rate of co-mobidities important. The historical treatment is limited to transfusion support with a significant impact on quality of life and the incidence of secondary haemosiderosis, which contributes to the emergence of co-morbidities, especially cardiovascular. Treatment with rHuEPO allows for overall erythroid response in 40-60% of patients treated. In this trial, the investigators intend to study the interest of a treatment with epoetin beta in patients with anemia <10 g / dL in the context of a myelodysplastic syndrome with IPSS score <1. In addition to studying the erythroid response, the investigators will measure the impact on quality of life and functional performance. Patients will receive epoetin beta (60 000UI/week). Response will be assessed after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment.
Two hundreds and ten women with premenstrual syndrome will be randomly divided into 3 equal groups using computer generated random numbers. Group 1 will receive oral dienogest (visanne® Bayer, Germany) 2mg for 14 days starting from the 15th day of menstruation, Group 2 will receive fluoxetine (Prozac® Lilly, UK) 20mg and group 3 will receive an oral placebo foe 14 days starting from the 15th day of menstruation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of inhaled carbon monoxide (iCO) in intubated patients with sepsis-induced ARDS.
The study will evaluate the post-operative morphine-sparing effect, pain reduction, and side effects of a continuous ketamine infusion after tonsillectomy in pediatric patients.
The NLQTS Research Network team aims to build a Canadian collaboration of dedicated investigators that will create a new paradigm in the modern investigation of patients with LQTS and in the description of a new disease modifier. The project aims to describe the natural history of familial Long QT Syndrome to identify: 1. Low risk patients that do not require protective beta-blocker therapy 2. High-risk patients that require protective beta-blocker therapy and may benefit from a primary prevention ICD. This cohort would contain treated pre-symptomatic individuals effectively protected from harm.
The purpose of thus study is to determine if faecal microbiota transplantation will result in improvement in clinical outcomes in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
The main objective of the study is to characterize the gene expression in immune and epithelial cells in salivary gland biopsy samples and blood of pSS (primary Sjögren's syndrome) and non-pSS participants including healthy volunteers.
