Myalgic EncephalomyelitisChronic Fatigue SyndromeThis study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).
Validation of Withings Sleep for the Detection of Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Sleep Apnea SyndromesSleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a common pathology affecting between 4 and 8% of the general population. It aggravates morbidity and cardio-metabolic mortality and is responsible for accidents related to vigilance disorders. It is estimated that 80% of SAS cases are not diagnosed and therefore not treated. It is however impracticable to propose a diagnostic test of polygraphy (PG) or polysomnography (PSG) to every patient because of the cost and insufficient availability of these exams. It would therefore be useful to carry out a screening test before directing the patient to a complete test. Several simplified polygraph systems with 2 or 3 channels have been proposed (nasal cannula, oximetry, heart rate) but they generally record only one night and remain intrusive enough to perturb the sleep. The Withings Sleep is a non-contact device, along with an airbag placed under the mattress, which allows screening of SAS from four signals: movement, breathing, heart rate and snoring. The objective of the present study is to validate the diagnostic performance of the Withings Sleep for the detection of SAS compared to PSG.
Clinical, Biological and Histological Pulmonary and Renal Damage Associated With the SARS-CoV-2...
Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeRenal damage in patients hospitalized for ARDS in the ICU can also be related to multiple causes including, but not limited to, the consequences of hemodynamic fluctuations in these patients or the use of nephrotoxic drugs responsible for acute post-ischemic or toxic tubular necrosis. Frequently observed abnormalities of cioagumation may also have a potential impact on renal structures, particularly glomerular capillaries. The researchers wish to characterize and phenotype the renal impairment of patients hospitalized in intensive care with tables of severe Covid19 infections in ARDS: clinical, biological and histological (by performing post-mortem biopsies).

Clinically Isolated SyndromeMultiple SclerosisThe purpose of this study is to develop tools to detect, measure, monitor and predict axonal damage in the course of CIS and during Multiple sclerosis (MS), in order to be able to consider as early as possible an adaptation of the background treatment in patients with MS. patients with radiological criteria of poor long-term clinical course.
Assessment of Subsynovial Connective Tissue Thickness in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeThe general aim of this research is to gain insight in the role of SSCT in the etiology and progression of CTS. We hypothesize that (degenerative) damage of the SSCT occurs early on in the pathogenesis of CTS. Fibrotic damage to the SSCT will lead to altered morphology and biomechanical characteristics. This eventually may lead to damage of the median nerve. To examine the SSCT an ultrasound technique described by Van Doesburg et al. 2012 will be used First, the reliability of the US technique to characterize morphology of the SSCT will be investigated. Secondly, cross-sectional data will be collected in healthy subjects and CTS patients to provide descriptive parameters and to describe differences between patients and controls. In the final part a prospective study will be conducted to look at changes of SSCT thickness over time and after treatment.

History of Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary SyndromeExposure to Endocrine DisruptorsPolycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that affects between 7% and 14% of women of childbearing age, leading to impaired fertility, clinical and biological hyperandrogenism. Long-term complications such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease and hormone-dependent cancers make it a major public health problem. The physiopathology of this syndrome is complicated and still poorly understood, probably multifactorial origin, resulting from the interaction between many factors (genetics, lifestyle, environment). The environment has also an important role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome : diet, exposure to pollutants and endocrine disruptors. There are many sources of exposure to environmental toxins and it is essential to better understand their impact on our health. Our study aims to assess the association between exposure to endocrine disruptors and development of polycystic ovary syndrome. The population involved in the study includes patients aged 18 to 50 years, premenopausal, consulting in the gynecology department of the university hospital of Reims. The "cases" patients will be patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The "controls" patients will be patients without polycystic ovary syndrome. Statistical analysis will determine whether "cases" are more exposed to endocrine disruptors than "controls".
Preventive Approach for the Management of the Main Geriatric Risks
Geriatric SyndromesNowadays, EHPAD residents are polypathological (cognitive and psycho-behavioral pathologies, undernutrition, IC, diabetes, COPD, IR, etc.) and multi-medicated. From a medical point of view, this implies the need for regular monitoring and a high level of medical or even multidisciplinary expertise for the healthcare team. The objective of the GER-e-TEC ™ project is to provide these complex patients with telemedicine tools allowing protocolized and personalized, non-intrusive monitoring. The GER-e-TEC ™ project more specifically takes into account the significant issues in nursing homes of aging residents with the main geriatric syndromes (fall, undernutrition, cognitive-behavioral disorders, iatropathogeny, etc.) The objective of the work undertaken is to develop a codified preventive approach for the management of the main geriatric risks, in order to avoid the occurrence of an acute decompensation factor in the elderly.
