Filter by:Rocuronium is a aminosteroid structured, non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMB). Epidemiological data presents that the frequency of hypersensitivity reactions caused by rocuronium have been increased. Determinations of serum tryptase concentrations are interdisciplinary recommended in diagnosis of its adverse reactions. No studies have been performed to explain specific role of rocuronium doses on serum tryptase values. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effect of rocuronium on serum tryptase concentrations.
The aim of our study will be to establish in how many subjects with gastrointestinal symptoms and previous diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the clinical picture is attributable to non celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) intolerance. For this purpose, all subjects with IBS will take a low FODMAPs diet, which implies the absence of cereals and consequently of gluten, and those presenting symptom improvement during this dietary treatment, will be exposed to a double-blind gluten or placebo challenge, to make a diagnosis of NCGS.
Recently, an index based on the oral insulin sensitivity index with glucose (OGIS) has been proposed in combination with anthropometric variables, called PREDIcted M (PREDIM), however, there is no evidence of the correlation of this with respect to the various indices (McAuley, Belfiore, Cederholm, Avignon, Matsuda, Gutt, Stumvoll, HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance), ISI (Insulin Sensitivity Index), Raynaud, QUICKI (The quantitative insulin sensitivity check index), FIRI (Fasting Insulin Resistance Index), Bennett, TyG (triglycerides and glucose index)) in healthy patients.
Perioperative Acute Hypersensitivity (PAH) is a systemic reaction that occurs rapidly following injection of a drug during anesthesia.The HSA-PA reaction must occur within a maximum of one hour after the induction of anesthesia or a new product by the anesthetist. The main mechanism evoked is an immune response of immediate systemic hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis. Anaphylactic reactions are classically described as IgE-dependent and triggered by the injection of allergen which by bridging specific IgE present on the surface of mast cells, induces a massive release of histamine responsible for the observed symptoms. The diagnosis of this mechanism (IgE endotype) requires the determination of associated circulating mediators (histamine and mast cell tryptase) as well as skin tests performed during an allergologic evaluation. However, our previous work on patients with PAH (NASA study, ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01637220) demonstrated that classical markers of IgE endotype are present in only 42% of patients. This finding has three consequences: - a diagnostic inaccuracy with deleterious consequences for the patient, - the existence of undocumented endotypes explaining the observed clinical manifestations, - a lack of formal identification of culprit drug, with uncertainty about the eviction recommendations leading to consequences for the safety of the patient. The investigators hypothesize that symptoms associated with PAH are caused by several distinct endotypes involving different cellular effectors and molecular mediators. These endotypes may be related to the immune system but independent of IgE, or independent of the immune system. To assess these endotypes, The investigators will be measuring the activation status of blood cells and a wide range of secreted mediators in blood drawn as soon as possible after PAH onset, and at steady state during a subsequent allergology visit. These data will be analyzed along with clinical data in multivariate analysis and clustering to define coherent profiles among patients. Definition of previously unexplored endotypes will allow to explain more PAH reactions and to design new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. During the ENDOPHEN protocol, the measurement of a large number of biological parameters will be correlated with the clinical phenotype in patients who have presented a PAH. However, the procedures of general anesthesia themselves lead to a certain number of physiological modifications likely to modify the parameters measured in the ENDOPHEN protocol. This is why it was decided to carry out an ancillary study, the PHENZERO study, the objective of which is to measure the reference values of the parameters provided for in ENDOPHEN in an anesthetized population without any hypersensitivity phenotype ("zero" phenotype).
The aim of this 11 study analysis was to compare the effect of bioavailable stannous fluoride (SnF2) on dentine hypersensitivity versus a positive or negative control dentifrice.
Two-stage, prospective, observational, real-world study of HDM-SLIT-naïve children (aged 5-11) and adolescents (aged 12-17) consulting allergists or other specialist physicians in France for an HDM-induced allergy. Physician- and/or patient-reported data on clinical symptoms, sensitization, patient profiles, symptom burdens, patient-physician dialogue, HDM SLIT regimens, and effectiveness were recorded on inclusion, and then again 6 to 12 months after the prescription of an HDM SLIT solution. The study's primary objective was to describe treatment modalities in children (aged from 5 to 11) and adolescents (aged from 12 to 17) with suspected HDM-induced AR or allergic asthma consulting an allergist or another specialist physician in France.
Modern life is characterized by a 24-hour lifestyle in which food intake is no longer restricted to daytime. As a result, people nowadays tend to eat throughout the day. When food is being consumed the energy is both used and stored for later use. Eating for a prolonged period of time makes it unnecessary for the body to use its energy storage. It is hypothesized that the decreased use of energy stores has detrimental effects on our sugar balance, mainly on insulin sensitivity. Conversely, eating within a limited period during the day could improve insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes by an increased use of energy reserves, specifically liver sugar stores. Therefore, this study examines the effect of eating within a limited time frame during the day on insulin sensitivity and liver sugar stores of people with type 2 diabetes.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (changes in dentinal hypersensitivity) and safety (oral soft tissue evaluation) after use of one of four dentifrices in subjects with pre-existing hypersensitivity over an 11-week period.
The concept of sensitive or reactive skin was evoked in 1947 and developed in the 1970s and is now widely recognized. The international pruritus society has proposed an international consensus definition: sensitive skin is defined as a syndrome manifested by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations (tingling, burning, pain, pruritus, tingling) in response to stimuli that normally do not not cause such sensations. The triggering factors can be cosmetics, water, cold, heat, temperature variations, wind ... etc. The physiopathological mechanisms are debated and several hypotheses exist. Sensitive skin can be considered as a decrease of the threshold of cutaneous tolerance. Sensitive skin is linked to abnormalities of the cutaneous nervous system, which becomes hyper-reactive. This hyperreactivity can be modulated by multiple factors. Exposure to cosmetics could be one of the main triggers for sensitive skin, especially for women. This can be explained by the wide use of cosmetics (in France women apply an average of 16 different cosmetics per day), by overconsumption of cosmetics, by exposure to potentially irritating ingredients. Sensitive skin would be less tolerant to the frequent and prolonged use of cosmetics. However, no precise information is available on the actual consumption of cosmetic products in the population with sensitive skin, in particular no data exists concerning the type of products used, the criteria of choice of products, the daily number of products used. and the ingredients contained in these cosmetics
The phenotype based on the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the human angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been associated with individual training response. Briefly, intervention studies have demonstrated an 11-fold greater training-induced improvement in muscular endurance for ACE I/I homozygotes compared to ACE D/D homozygotes. Importantly, the ACE I/D polymorphism causes large inter-individual differences in serum ACE activity. Because the ACE D/D genotype is characterized by high plasma ACE activity and potentially blunted endurance exercise training response, it appears likely that ACE inhibitors (ACEi) have the potential to improve the outcome of exercise training for ACE D/D homozygotes. Thus, in the present study the investigators apply a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled longitudinal design to investigate whether pharmacological inhibition of ACE activity can amplify the exercise training response in healthy humans carrying either the ACE D/D or ACE I/I genotype. The study hypothesis is that inhibition of ACE activity in healthy humans with the ACE D/D genotype will amplify the health beneficial effects of exercise training while this is not the case in ACE I/I homozygotes.
