Filter by:The long-term goal is to study the safety and effectiveness of hormonal contraception for women with cystic fibrosis (CF) and contribute to national guidelines that the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide to clinicians. The study objectives are to determine whether hormonal contraceptive methods improve overall pulmonary health, worsen CF-related disease or CF liver disease, or are effective against unwanted pregnancy with concomitant CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator use. The hypothesis is that hormonal contraceptive methods are safe and do not worsen CF-related complications over time,improve FEV-1 when compared to non-hormonal users, and oral birth control methods with CFTR modulator use.
Objectives: 1. To evaluate endurance time during cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) performance comparing standard oxygen therapy to high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with exertional desaturation. 2. To assess oxygenation level (peripheral and muscular) as well as dyspnea and fatigue during exercise in IPF subjects with exertional desaturation using oxygen supplementation with HFNC compared with standard oxygen supplementation. Method: multicenter crossover clinical trial. Patients with IPF presenting oxygen desaturation during the six-minute walking test (6MWT) (SpO2 mean ≤ 85%) will be included consecutively . Each subject evaluated will perform initially an incremental CPET to evaluate the patient's maximum exercise capacity. Supplemental oxygen will be applied to maintain SpO2 >85% with a Venturi mask. Maximum exercise capacity and the appropriate final oxygen inspiratory fraction (FiO2) needed for the following tests will be determined. Posteriorly each patient will perform two constant load CPET (at 75% of the maximum workload achieved with the incremental CPET); one with standard oxygen therapy and the other one with HFNC oxygen therapy. Endurance time, dyspnea and leg fatigue and oxygen saturation (peripheral and muscular) will be recorded. Evaluation measures: Endurance time, dyspnea and leg fatigue (Borg scale), and oxygen saturation.
Objectif Principal - To evaluate the intensity and frequency of pain episodes in patients with cystic fibrosis followed at the cystic fibrosis center of Rouen University Hospital, Normandy, France. Objectifs secondaires - To assess the relationship between pain and disease severity. - To assess the relationship between pain and the age of the patient. - To describe the pain locations. - To describe the use of pharmacological or nonpharmacological treatment. - To evaluate the procedural pain.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease resulting from excessive fat accumulation in the liver. Due to its close association with obesity, it has become the most common liver disease in children in the United States. NAFLD can result in progressive fibrosis and lead to end-stage liver disease. Best practices in management of pediatric NAFLD are not clearly defined. Our aim is to clarify the natural history of NAFLD in obese children after weight loss surgery compare to lifestyle intervention. Our secondary aim is to investigate the added value of elastography for the screening and diagnosis of NASH with fibrosis.
The results of the annual check-up will be collected to evaluate the best urinary marker for fractional sodium excretion and salt status will be correlated to clinical outcome measures.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of using TAB and ILIH nerve blocks versus ILIH nerve block only for inguinal hernia repair in patients with liver cirrhosis.
A randomized controlled trial to study the efficacy of low dose steroid for 14 days in the treatment of post-covid-19 lung infiltrates
The study evaluates the long-term safety and efficacy of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) triple combination (TC) in participants with CF who are 6 years of age and older with F/MF genotypes.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of elexacaftor (ELX)/tezacaftor (TEZ)/ivacaftor (IVA) triple combination therapy in CF subjects 2 through 5 years of age.
This trial is a multi-centre, open-label, single-arm phase 2 trial investigating the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of C21 in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
