Active clinical trials for "Amenorrhea"

Adequate equipment for lifelong health is essential to ensure healthy health for fetal development. In France, pregnant women with normal weight have increased protein intake to 0.78-0.95g / kg / day (ANC 2001). And more recently, AFSSA from 2007 proposed a recommended nutritional intake of 0.82-1g / kg / d. An increased requirements in the second and third trimester of 0.25 g / kg / day and 0.46 g / kg / day, respectively, compared with non-pregnancy values. However, the prevalence of the incompatibility remains unknown. In addition, maternal protein intake is inadequate or excessively associated with both intra-uterine growth retardation and small gestational age weights. Neonatal hypotrophy is also associated with a risk of chronic diseases in adulthood, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. In obese women or patients undergoing surgery for bariatric surgery, there is currently no recommendation on the recommended protein intake. Or, maternal obesity plays a role in the metabolic development of children and bariatric surgery is associated with a major risk of maternal micronutrient deficiencies and intra-uterine growth retardation. Prevalence of obesity in France is currently estimated at 17%. Moreover, bariatric surgery is also fast-growing in France with a number of interventions having tripled since 2006. Thus, a better understanding of maternal food needs and applications throughout pregnancy is needed to improve dietary guidelines and promote fetal, neonatal and long-term health.

This study is a non-interventional prospective, multicenter, longitudinal study conducted in France, among a representative sample of public and/or private birth control centers. The aim of the study is to assess, in real-life settings, the success rate of the protocol Mifegyne / prostaglandin analogue in patients asking for medical abortion either prior or beyond 7 weeks of amenorrhea.

The aim of this project is to improve the evidence-base regarding lifestyle and mental health symptoms among fitness instructors. A national cohort of fitness instructors will be invited to participate in this study by responding to an online questionnaire. The questionnaire will consist of items regarding exercise, nutrition, eating disorders, the menstrual cycle, depression, anxiety, body dissatisfaction and satisfaction, drive for muscularity and leanness, and experiences of sexual harassment. Findings from this study will provide an evidence-base for initiatives to improve/optimize mental health among fitness instructors, and also in the process of developing fitness centres to a core partner in public health and health promotion work.

Moderate and late premature babies (32-36 weeks of amenorrhoea) account for around 6% of births, but 20% of neonatal deaths. These children also have an increased risk of neonatal morbidity and long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae compared with full-term newborns. In the case of preterm birth, optimal antenatal, birth and postnatal management is necessary to prevent neonatal complications and mitigate longer-term consequences. However, we lack knowledge about the management of this at-risk population and the factors influencing their health. This knowledge is needed in the current context of unfavourable trends in neonatal health. Over the last ten years, neonatal and infant mortality has stagnated in France, with France falling behind other European countries. According to the latest European report, France ranks 22nd out of 33 countries. The causes of this stagnation are not well known, but many hypotheses have been put forward, including sub-optimal organisation of care.

No proven therapy to restore ovarian function and fertility is available to patients with karyotypically normal spontaneous premature ovarian failure. We know that one-half of these patients have primordial follicles remaining in the ovary, and these follicles can function intermittently. This is a diagnostic omnibus protocol that permits baseline clinical evaluation of patients with prematurem ovarian failure. The findings will determine patients' suitability for specifically focused therapeutic research protocols.

This is a prospective randomized controlled study to determine the effect of prostaglandin intake before Mirena IUD insertion It was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Kasr El-Ainy Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University,

Gentamicin and vancomycin, widely used in neonatology, are antibiotics with a narrow therapeutic index and a risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. For these drugs, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is required, to optimize the efficacy and tolerance of these antibiotics. In newborns, the TDM of these antibiotics is really available, because of physiological features, such as renal elimination and hepatic metabolism which are both very dependent on age and maturation. Thus, in newborn, there is a large interindividual variability of pharmacokinetic parameters, making the dosage adjustment of antibiotics very difficult. Unfortunately, because of a limited blood mass, the TDM of these antibiotics is very rarely practiced in these children. The introduction of a Died blood spot (DBS), which uses only a single drop of blood (<50 μL) preserved in dried form, thus makes it possible to reduce the blood volume taken and avoid the venous intrusion. The dosage needs the use of liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS), the only sensitive technique to work with such a low blood volume. We therefore wish to develop this approach coupling DBS and LC-MSMS, in neonatology, to evaluate the concentration of these nephrotoxic antibiotics (gentamicin and vancomycin), as TDM. The blood concentrations of the antibiotic, per 100 new-born term or premature (50 gentamicin, 50 vancomycin), are compared to the physiological state of the child (premature or not, intrauterine growth retardation or not), its hemodynamic status (shock or not) and its efficacy / toxicity, evaluated by the clinician using a questionnaire. The use of this new sampling method, as an alternative to conventional blood sampling, makes it possible to better monitor the concentrations of gentamicin and vancomycin in neonatalogy, thus reducing the risk of toxicity of these antibiotics.

Through the COLA Study and Biobank the investigators hope to enable further identification of phenotype, endocrine, ethnic, and metabolic characteristics associated with menstrual cycle disturbances; and: the identification of genetic or other etiologic factors associated with cycle disturbances.

The investigators wish to explore the variability of uterine, breast and bone outcome markers as surrogates to assess the adequacy of exogenous oestrogen replacement in individuals with hypogonadism.

This study focuses on the phenotyping and genotyping of women with hypergonadotropic ovarian dysfunction (WHO III status).
