NCT ID: NCT05059093 Completed - Clinical trials for Fetal Growth Restriction

Developing and Testing AI Models for Fetal Biometry and Amniotic Volume Assessment in Fetal Ultrasound Scans.

Start date: October 25, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Routine fetal ultrasound scan during the second trimester of the pregnancy is a low-cost, noninvasive screening modality that has been proven to lower fetal mortality by up to 20%. One of the critical elements of this exam is the measurement of fetal biometric parameters, which are the head circumference (HC), biparietal diameter (BPD), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL) measured on biometry standard planes. Those standard planes are taken according to quality standards first described by Salomon et al. and used as the guidelines of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG). The biometric parameters extracted from them are essential to diagnose fetal growth restriction (FGR), the world's first cause of perinatal fetal mortality. Such measurements and image quality assessment are time-consuming tasks that are prone to inter and intraobserver variability depending on the level of skill of the sonographer or the physician performing the exam. Amniotic fluid (AF) volume assessment is also an essential step in routine screening scans allowing the diagnosis of oligo or hydramnios, both associated with increased fetal mortality rates. The AF is measured by two main "semi-quantitative" techniques: Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) and the single deepest pocket (SDP). The latter is more specific as it lowers the overdiagnosis of oligo-amnios without any impact on mortality or morbidity and is easier to perform for the sonographer (only one measurement versus four in the case of the AFI technique). However, AF assessment remains a time-consuming and poorly reproducible task. Attempts to automate such biometric measurements and AF volume assessment have been made using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) tools. Studies showed excellent results "in silico," reaching up to 98 %, 95%, 93 % dice score coefficients for HC, AC, and FL measurements and 89 % DSC for AFI measurements. However, they were all conducted retrospectively without validation on prospectively acquired images. Reviews and experts have stressed the need for quality peer-reviewed prospective studies to assess AI tools' performance with real-world data. Their performance is expected to be worse and to reflect better their use in the clinical workflow. This study aims to develop DL models to automate HC, BPD, AC, and FL measurements and AF volume assessment from retrospectively acquired data and test their performances to those of clinicians and experts on prospective real-world fetal US scans.

NCT ID: NCT04995289 Completed - Clinical trials for SARS CoV 2 Infection

Prone Position During ECMO in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Hypoxaemic Patient

Start date: January 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Introduction: The main manifestation of COVID-19 pneumonia is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which in some cases can be more severe than intubation, extracorporeal membrane venous oxygenation (VV-ECMO) to ensure hematosis. Despite support from VV-ECMO, some patients may remain hypoxemic. One possible therapeutic procedure for these patients is the application of the prone position. Objective: The main aim of this study was to investigate the modification of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, the compliance of the respiratory system in VV-ECMO with refractory hypoxemia. The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the inclined position for ECMO. Methods: the investigators reviewed the electronic records and lists of all 23 COVID-19 patients. were placed for the first time in PP with an average duration of 16 h . patient characteristics, pre-ECMO characteristics, ventilator/ECMO settings, and changes in ventilator/ECMO settings and blood gas analysis before and after PP.

NCT ID: NCT04866927 Completed - Clinical trials for Nutritional Deficiency

Bioavailability of Proteins From Plant Based Diets

Start date: November 25, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Proteins play an important role as structural and functional components for the human body and prevent stunting. Protein quality has a great importance in meeting the nutritional needs of populations across the world throughout the life course, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood. Dietary protein deficiency is mainly due to protein indigestibility limiting indispensable amino acids (IAAs) bioavailability. In Morocco, as it's the case in many developing countries, diet is mainly based on a large consumption of cereals, fruits, vegetables and pulses, and is generally low in meat, which is the main source of protein and IAA. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the digestibility of Fava bean proteins and bioavailability of IAA using a dual-tracer method with stable isotopes.

NCT ID: NCT04716985 Active, not recruiting - Covid19 Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Daily Intake of 0.5 L of Water Saturated With Molecular Hydrogen for 21 Days in COVID-19 Patients Treated in Ambulatory Care

HYDRO COVID
Start date: January 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Through its anti-inflammatory role, molecular hydrogen could have a beneficial effect in preventing the runaway inflammatory reactions that lead to complications of Covid-19. This hypothesis is supported by numerous preclinical and theoretical arguments, as well as by some Chinese clinical studies (the Chinese guidelines for the management of Covid-19 recommend the inhalation of hydrogen), a recommendation whose interest has just been confirmed by a publication describing the very positive results of a clinical study in China. Through its anti-inflammatory role, molecular hydrogen could have a beneficial effect in preventing the runaway inflammatory reactions that lead to complications of Covid-19. The ingestion of water saturated with molecular hydrogen has been the subject of several clinical studies in other indications than Covid-19, and no side effects of this ingestion have been reported. A recent publication recommends initiating clinical trials using a hydrogen fortified beverage.

Start date: December 10, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Post Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS) is a major complication of breast surgery responsible for depression and disability. The project consists of a prospective cohort on patients going for oncological breast surgery at National Institute of Oncology of Rabat. Chronic postoperative pain (CPP) remains a disturbing and obscure clinical problem, which could last for more than 3 months after surgery. The aim of present study was to assess the prevalence of CPP, investigate its impact on life quality and explore its potential risk factors. After informed consent was signed, patients receiving surgery under general anesthesia in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and other medical centers participating in this study during 2018 will be included. Patients' preoperative information will be collected from medical record, including basic demographic data, primary disease and previous chronic diseases. Intraoperative information will be obtained from anesthesia record, including surgical scope, duration, length and location of incisions and blood loss. Acute pain will be evaluated in the ward of the department of surgery, when an app will be installed on patients' mobile phones. Our long-term postoperative follow-up would be performed by sending out survey questionnaires via this app in the 4th, 8th, 16th, 32th, and 48th weeks after surgery. The survey covers questions regarding the intensity, characteristic, location and impact on daily activities of CPP. Information regarding treatment of CPP will also be collected, if any. All the data gained will be summarized in our database and analyzed.
