Filter by:DOREVI is a monocentric randomized controlled study that will evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality helmets for pain prevention during invasive care on 78 oncologic pediatric patients. Two groups of children (between 6 and 11 and between 12 and 18 years old) will be randomized to use helmet plus standard care or standard care alone during invasive procedures (central venous catheter puncture, lumbar puncture, or bone marrow aspiration). The pain intensity will be evaluated using a visual analogic scale during three invasive procedures, and results will be compared between the patients with or without virtual reality.
Our aim is to assess the role of the gray scale and color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis of the different pediatric neck masses .
Background. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children. Most pediatric tumors differ from adult tumors in terms of biological and clinical characteristics. In children, the part of genetic determinism could be higher since the role of environmental factors may be less pronounced than in adults and that a young age at onset is a main feature of genetic cancer predisposition. Recent studies suggested that a number of genetic predisposition remains to be characterized. Methods. Trio-Based whole exome sequencing of germline DNA from patients (children and adults diagnosed with cancers between 0 and 17 years) and parents will be performed prospectively in a multicentric study including 40 unselected cases of malignant tumor. Participating hospitals will include the CHU of Montpellier, the CHU de Nice and the AP-HP. Tumor analysis will include whole exome analysis and transcriptome for the identification of therapeutic target and contribute to confirm potential link between constitutive mutations and tumor phenotype (such as loss of expression, loss of heterozygosity). Perspectives. This pediatric oncology study proposing a global approach integrating trio-based whole exome sequencing, somatic DNA and RNA analysis will improve the recognition of genetic predisposition and the characterization of target therapies in children with cancer.
Sugammadex is a selective antidote to muscle relaxants rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, a compound that selectively binds rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. It forms a complex with them in the blood plasma, which leads to the decrease in the concentration of muscle relaxant binding to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular synapse. The result is the the elimination of neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is used to eliminate neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide in children aged 2 years and adolescents in standard clinical situations. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy and safety of sugammadex in children under 2 years
