Filter by:Klinefelter syndrome is the most common sex-chromosome disorder in men with a prevalence of 1 in 660 men. The syndrome is associated with hypogonadism. Many patients with Klinefelter syndrome have psychological complaints and physical discomfort. Some patients report a positive effect of testosterone treatment, whereas others do not. The aim of this study is: (i) To investigate quality of life in patients with Klinefelter syndrome. (ii) To investigate functional, physical and mental health in patients with Klinefelter syndrome. Questionnaire concerning mental and physical health and life quality are sent out to patients with KS and to age-, educational- and zipcode-matched men from the general population. The questionnaire include questions about housing, income, marital status, fatherhood, medication, chronic disease,school and education, attachment to the labor, sexual and erectile function, life quality, mental and physical health, satisfaction with life and symptoms of attention deficits hyperactivity disorders.
Glypican4, CTRP3, CTRP5 are emerging novel adipokines mediating obesity and inflammation related disorders. RBP4 and adiponectin are well known important adipokines. Therefore, we examine the circulating levels of theses adipokines in the subjects with or without metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, we tried to clarify the effect of exercise on the circulating these adipokines.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the impact of cortisol on adipose tissue functions, distribution and morphology. Patient with endogenous blood cortisol excess exhibit changes in adipose tissue, with fat gain in the upper trunk, face and neck leading to visceral obesity and features of the metabolic syndrome. The aims of this study will be - to compare the pattern of gene expression between visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in Cushing patients requiring an adrenalectomy as cortisol adenoma treatment; - to compare these patterns of gene expression with those of two control populations:1/ healthy metabolic subjects having a partial nephrectomy, 2/obese patients with similar degree of insulin resistance.
The aetiology of SAPHO syndrome seems to involve genetic, infectious and immunological components. The investigators examined innate and adaptative immune responses in SAPHO syndrome as compared with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The purpose of the Connect® Myeloid disease registry is to provide unique insights into treatment decisions and treatment patterns as they relate to clinical outcomes of patients with myeloid diseases in routine clinical practice. This disease registry will also evaluate molecular and cellular markers that may provide further prognostic classification which may or may not be predictive of therapy and clinical outcomes.
Monocentric multidisciplinary study (psychologists, endocrinologists, psychiatrists, and molecular biologists) to characterize social cognition in adolescents with Turner syndrome (TS). Inclusion criteria: - Turner syndrome with homogeneous 45,X karyotype. - Age between 8 and 18 years. - Somatic state compatible with the evaluation. - Functional language and IQ ≥ 80 for the transfer tests - Informed consent signed by the holders of parental authority, the patient and the mother for her own participation (DNA collection). - Affiliation to Social Security (beneficiary or assignee). The primary endpoint will be the overall score to the AQ (Autism Quotient) questionnaire and to the SRS (Social Reciprocity Scale), in comparison to the expected scores for the general population. For patients with scores above the threshold for SRS or QA validation of a possible diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders will be performed with commonly used diagnostic tools (ADIR (Lord et al, 1994), ADOS-G (Lord et al, 1999) and diagnostic criteria of DSM IV-TR). Secondary criteria will include the results of standardized tests to assess autistic features (AQ, ADI-R, ADOS, DSM IV-TR criteria), intellectual efficiency (Wechsler scales), psychiatric comorbidities (Kiddie-SADS) and sociocognitive profile (SpeX test, Social cognition, Perception, eXecutive functions). A DNA sample will be collected from the patient and her mother. The observation period is 2 days for the patient and about 1 hour for the mother. The total duration of the study is 3 years.
This clinical trial studies potential genetic markers which might be used to predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes respond to decitabine. This study will contribute to the efforts to find effective and less toxic therapies to provide durable remissions in a significant proportion of elderly AML patients.
This project is a comprehensive study, with main focus on motor control, comparing patients with chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalopathy (CFS/ME) and/or fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Focus of the present project will be on detailed movement analysis in a movement laboratory and involve functional tasks such as walking and standing. Investigations will also comprise muscle activity, reaction time and fine motor control.
This research study is designed to investigate the feasibility and treatment effects of a behavioral speech treatment in adults and children with Down Syndrome (DS) and dysarthria. The speech sessions will provide an intensive, articulation-based intervention focused on increasing effort during speech production via use of "clear speech." A single subject multiple baselines across subjects design will be employed in a total of six subjects divided into two groups of three. Changes in dependent measures will be determined by visual inspection, effect size determination, and time series analysis. The study follows accepted procedures in rehabilitation treatment and research and there are minimal foreseeable risks associated with participation.
Aim 1 is to study prevalence and 1 year incidence of metabolic syndrome in major depressive disorder and factors correlation. Aim 2 is to study prevalence and 1 year incidence of thyroid dysfunction in major depressive disorder and factors correlation.
