Filter by:This clinical study is a multiple center, registering and real-world conditional research. The breast cancer patients planning for chemotherapy evaluated with medium-high risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) are recruited, receiving the first level prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF or the second level prophylactic use of PEG-rhG-CSF in at least two cycles of chemotherapy according to real-world clinical judgement and choice by physicians in local cancer center. Comparing real conditional-FN rate, FN-caused hospitalization rate and antibiotic use rate, direct/indirect medical cost.
This study is to collect safety and immunogenicity data for an Rift Valley Fever (RVF) vaccine
Because a newly available point-of-care test may have real interest especially for children in the Emergency Department (ED) setting, by limiting painful and stressful venipunctures and decreasing the length of stay in the ED, the investigators hypothesize that integrating this new capillary Procalcitonin (PCT) rapid test in the DIAFEVER CPR (Clinical Prediction Rules) could represent a highly valuable diagnostic tool to identify a group with low Invasive Bacterial Infection (IBI) risk and could limit unnecessary exams and antibiotic prescriptions. The aim of this present study is to demonstrate the impact of this new PCT rapid-test-based CPR on antibiotic prescription rate in young children with Fever Without Source (FWS) presenting to the ED and on morbidity and mortality
The incidence rate of gastric cancer is high in Southeast Asia, so is the mortality rate.Due to the lack of specific performance, about 5%-20% of patients have found peritoneal metastases at the time of first diagnosis.At present, clinical studies on HIPEC in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis are almost related to abdominal perfusion after laparoscopic gastrectomy.Herein, we conduct a single-centre randomized controlled trial to explore the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic exploration combined with HIPEC in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis.
Typhoid fever caused by Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi causes over 21 million cases of febrile illness and 200,000 deaths are attributed to enteric fever each year. Typhoid fever is an enteric infection that results in febrile illness. Typhoid fever causes significant morbidity in the developing world especially young children.S. Typhi specific antibody responses are elicited in typhoid fever and following typhoid vaccination. Cross-reactive multifunctional CD+4 T cell mediated IL-17 responses have been shown in typhoid fever. As S. Typhi as an intracellular pathogen, cellular immune responses might be central to protection. S. Typhi peptide subunit vaccine elicits CD+4 T cell responses that correlate with protection in mice. The role of mucosal associated invariant T cell (MAIT) and natural killer (NK) cell responses in typhoid fever or following vaccination remain poorly understood. Transcriptome profiling of human immune responses to S. Typhi infection is not clearly understood. Establishing successful infection by S. Typhi evasion of T cell and neutrophil responses need to be investigated to better understand the correlates of protection.
Participating countries: Belgium Context: In June 2013, WHO notified that "a single dose of YF vaccine is sufficient to confer sustained life-long protective immunity against YF disease and that a booster dose is not necessary". . For HIV infected persons the recommendation was less stringent and the position paper concluded that hiv infected persons may "hypothetically, benefit from a second dose or booster dose ".1 Recently, WHO changed the recommendations about a booster dose of YF vaccine, based on the fact that serum neutralizing antibodies against YF are still at detectable levels after 20-35 years and probably lifelong in immunocompetent patients. Unfortunately, data on persistence of Neutralizing antibodies Titers (NT) in immunocompromised patients are missing and only few studies reported data about HIV-infected patients. Additional data are needed. Primary objective: To assess presence / persistence of Neutralizing Titers (NT) of antibodies after YF immunization in HIV-infected patients. Secondary objectives: 1. To identify risk factors for early and late waning of NT after YF immunization 2. To modelize kinetics of NT after YF immunization in different subpopulations of HIV patients, including population of young HIV patients infected vertically 3. To identify risk factors for absence of seroconversion in the year after YF immunization 4. To compare persistence of NT in HIV patients infected vertically or not vertically 5. To quantify seroconversion rate after YF vaccination Methodology / study design This study is a single arm, non randomized, cross-sectional, multicenter study in AIDS Reference Centers from Belgium. The maximum duration of the study for each patient will be 1 visit, consisting of: - the screening and inclusion visit (single visit V1) to check the patient eligibility, sign informed consent, perform the biologic tests necessary for the study and answer the questionnaire - whenever possible, an additional serum / plasma sample coming from serabank / plasmabank will be identified for each patient. This sample must have been taken during the year following YF immunization. - data about patient's HIV history has to be extracted from the HIV database or from patients' file Estimated enrolment 750 patients + 30 patients infected vertically with HIV Primary outcome Number of HIV patients with protective YF NT ≥ 1:10 at different timepoints after YF immunization Secondary outcomes 1. Number of patients with protective YF NT ≥ 1:10 in the year following YF immunization 2. Risk factors (demographics and immunovirological parameters, antiretroviral treatment) for absence of seroconversion in the year following YF immunization 3. Risk factors (demographics and immunovirological parameters, antiretroviral treatment) of early waning (before 10 years) of YF NT 4. Risk factors (demographics and immunovirological parameters, antiretroviral treatment) of late waning (after 10 years) of YF NT Eligibility Inclusion criteria 1. Infection with HIV-1 (vertical transmission or not) 2. Immunization with at least one injection of YF vaccine (Stamaril®,17D strain Rockefeller, Sanofi Pasteur) with proof of vaccine administration 3. Informed consent signed prior to any study procedure Exclusion criteria Inability to give informed consent Substudies - Whenever possible, an additional sera or plasma sample from the year following YF vaccine will be selected and analyzed to assess early seroconversion rate - Whenever possible, an additional sera or plasma sample from the year before YF vaccine will be selected and analyzed to assess seroconversion rate - In CHU Saint-Pierre, an additional cohort of patients infected vertically with HIV will be selected and will participate to the study
It is known that the gluten-containing grains can be responsible for human diseases related to gluten exposure. These forms of gluten intolerance represent a heterogeneous set of conditions, including celiac disease (CD), wheat allergy (WA) and not celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), that combined seems to affect about 5-10% of the general population. NCGS is the most recent gluten-related disease, characterized by intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms related to the ingestion of gluten-containing food, in subjects in whom either celiac disease or wheat allergy previously has been excluded. However, as it is not known what component of the cereals causes the symptoms in NCGS patients, the investigators prefer the label of "Not-celiac wheat sensitivity" (NCWS). Typically, the NCWS diagnosis is made by exclusion. Furthermore, similarly to CD, the investigators had demonstrated that NCWS may be associated with other autoimmune disease (i.e. Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Among these autoimmune conditions, in our daily out clinic work, the investigators have observed an association between self-reported NCWS and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Our preliminary observational data indicate that some FMF patients relate their symptoms (especially gastrointestinal) to gluten assumption, then excluding it from diet and using gluten-free products, with partial remission of gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, FMF and NCGS share some clinical features, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, arthralgia and arthritis, and tend to be commonly associated with other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This study has 2 major aims: 1.To evaluate the real relationship between the wheat ingestion and the gastrointestinal manifestations presented by FMF patients, self-reporting a NCWS. 2. To identify possible immunologic markers that may explain the mechanism underling FMF abdominal attack and wheat ingestion.
