Filter by:The purpose of this clinical study is to verify the long term effectiveness and safety of a bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) produced by Beijing PINS Medical Co., Ltd. as a treatment option for patients with cognitive, behavioral, and functional disability of Tourette Syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of ranolazine on different markers of cardiometabolic disease in women with stable angina.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well venetoclax and sequential busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine phosphate before donor stem cell transplant work in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Giving chemotherapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells.
Turner syndrome is a genetic condition, rare, due to the total or partial absence of one X chromosome, affecting 1/2500 newborn female. It combines almost constantly short stature and ovarian failure with infertility. Other anomalies are inconstant: morphological characteristics of varying intensity, associated malformations, and increased risk of acquired diseases ... The prognosis of patients reaching the Turner Syndrome is linked to cardiovascular complications (congenital heart disease, dilatation of the ascending aorta with risk of dissection or rupture of aneurysm), causing early mortality with reduction of life expectancy of at least 10 years. For these reasons, screening for heart disease and dilatation of the ascending aorta is established and is intended to prevent the complications associated with medical treatment and / or surgery to increase life expectancy and reduce the co-morbidities. On the vascular level, the recommendations other than those relating to the monitoring of the diameter of the ascending aorta include research of renal artery stenosis by doppler ultrasound if the patient is hypertensive and looking for lymphedema. However, other arterial lesions were described in the literature, outside of the aneurysm of the ascending aorta. These peripheral arterial lesions can also be life and / or functional prognosis of the patient. Ascending aorta dilation seems not to be exclusive in Turner syndrome. In addition, specific vascular lesions outside the affected artery are described: hepatic cirrhosis by vascular depletion, lymphedema and varicose veins. The prevalence of venous or lymphatic disease is unknown. A single-center review of 9 cases of patients followed at the University Hospital of Strasbourg showed the presence of vascular lesions discovered incidentally during assessments performed for reasons other than cardiovascular screening: cystic lymphangioma, internal carotid aneurysm, agenesis of the inferior vena cava, early varicose veins, embryonic cerebral artery, etc ... None of these patients showed any dilatation of the ascending aorta or heart disease. Peripheral vascular abnormalities in this patient group are exclusive. In this study, we seek to demonstrate that arterial disease in Turner syndrome involve the entire arterial territory and is not confined to the ascending aorta. Screening for arterial lesions should be performed on the entire arterial vascular tree and regularly in the course of time, especially as the presence of cardiovascular risk factors increases with the age of these patients. The venous and lymphatic vascular damage in the literature and in our series of cases in University Hospital of Strasbourg description should also lead to the detection of these lesions. These vascular complications can be alone responsible for the reduction in life expectancy or responsible for serious morbidity. Improved screening of associated vascular lesions is necessary to enable the best prevention of cardiovascular complications. It is also to establish the prevalence of vascular anomalies, whether arterial, venous or lymphatic, to better understand the disease and its management. By collecting systematically karyotype leading to diagnosis, it may be possible to make a link between the genetic defect and heart or vascular disease.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. It is defined as an anterior knee pain. Its origin is a conflict during patellar tracking, due to patellofemoral malalignment and soft tissue overload. A few recent studies seem to show a benefit of prefabricated feet orthoses in patellofemoral pain syndrome, alone or in association with rehabilitation. However, no one has analyzed the outcome of morpho-specific foot orthoses in a prospective randomized study. The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to compare clinical outcomes in daily living and in sports activities, between morpho-specific and placebo foot orthoses. Morpho-specific foot orthoses are designed according to the patient's morphotype. They are intended to correct structural defects of the hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot, in the aim to correct abnormal overload during patellofemoral tracking.
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a demyelinating and degenerative disorder of the central nervous system affecting vision and brain and spinal cord function which leads to accumulating disability with a 5 year-mortality of approximately 30%. Survivors are typically left with severe morbidity secondary to blindness, quadriparesis and respiratory failure. No agent has been found to be highly effective in halting disease activity.Based on recent outcomes of Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells in autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, and based on the mechanisms of neuromyelitis optica, the investigators anticipate that mesenchymal stem cells transplantation may provide lasting disease stability for neuromyelitis optica patients.
This longitudinal study is being done to understand mechanisms underlying development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the role of the gut bacteria in development of symptoms. This information will be used to determine whether temporal changes in gut microbial taxonomy and metabolism are associated with changes in symptom severity in IBS, and if targeted dietary interventions, including prebiotics, can reverse or moderate these changes.
The purpose of this research is to examine the preliminary efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of Voice over Internet Protocol delivered behavior therapy for Tourette Syndrome through in a randomized waitlist-controlled trial.
MP-101 will be evaluated in this study to see if it is safe and tolerable.
