Filter by:The purpose of this study is to predict the CT visual score of emphysema with EIT-based parameters, in order to provide a non-invasive and convenient method for the evaluation of lung structure and physiological and pathological progression of COPD.
REDICAE trial was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of diuretics withdrawal in stable, euvolemic chronic outpatients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. It is a single-center, randomized, open-label, phase II clinical trial.
The study focuses on regional lung examination, in particular on the differentiation between collapsed and hyperinflated lung areas. The purpose of the study is to elaborate common and discriminative elements between different lung imaging modalities in infants and to generate hypotheses for the bedside use of EIT and LUS in infants.
This is a prospective observational study which will recruit up to 1200 participants over a two-year period to investigate whether non-invasive methods such as bioelectrical impedance analysis parameters and urine metabolic profile are predictors for pediatric non-alcoholic liver disease.
The fluid overload measured by the Body Composition Monitor (BCM Fresenius Medical Care) is a new independent risk factor of mortality. This risk has already been described in intermittent hemodialysis patients and peritoneal dialysis patients but never evaluated in Daily Home Dialysis with low dialysate flow. The investigator propose a first study measuring the state of hydration by impedancemetry (BCM) in this population. The aim of this work is to to analyze hydration status in a representative sample of prevalent Daily Home Dialysis with low-flow Dialysate patients. Secondary objectives are to identify associations between hydration status and patient characteristics and treatment practice in order to find out which conditions should alert the clinician to potential fluid overload, to compare these results with the peritoneal dialysis population and in center hemodialysis population, to evaluate the correlation between impedancemetry and blood pressure in this population, to assess the nutritional status and evaluation of a new method of measurement of kt / V based on impedancemetry, without recourse to a blood test.
A novel algorithm for bioimpedance measurements to detect nerve tissue, and discriminate it from other tissue types has been developed in a porcine model, by analysing a complex impedance dataset based on multiple measurement frequencies. It must now be confirm that the previous results are applicable in humans. Measurements from 24 predefined needle positions will be obtained in 16 of the 32 volunteers that are included in the study (part A). A new algorithm to detect nerve tissue will be developed based on these measurement results. Further impedance algorithms will be developed for other tissue type. The efficacy of the algorithms (sensitivity and specificity) will be evaluated in the 16 following volunteers (part B).
