Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The investigators hypothesize that treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) using sequential laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels (SQLPCV) over the predominant method, selective laser photocoagulation of communicating vessels (SLPCV), may provide vascular stability to the donor fetus. The primary objective is to evaluate the perinatal outcome, specifically, donor intrauterine survival of TTTS managed by SQLPCV vs. SLPCV in a prospective, randomized trial.

This is a prospective trial of Revlimid for subjects who have a blood cell cancer called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Cells in their marrow make proteins through messages that are carried from the genes. The amount of the message tells researchers if the protein it is going to make is high or low. This is known as expression of genes. The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective trial testing the idea that expression of specific genes can help to predict which patients will respond to study drug administration with Revlimid (lenalidomide).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the Psychiatric and Cognitive Phenotypes in Velocardiofacial Syndrome (VCFS), Williams Syndrome (WS)and Fragile X Syndrome Characterization, Treatment and Examining the Connection to Developmental and Molecular Factors

This is a parallel-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with a screening phase that includes a 28-day run-in phase to establish baseline seizure frequency, followed by a 24-week, randomized, placebo-controlled phase. After completion of the randomized, placebo-controlled phase, participants may enter a 48-week, long-term, extension phase during which they will receive open-label treatment with vatiquinone.

Researchers want to better understand what happens to the heart when the stem cells are injected directly into the muscle of the right side of the heart during the Stage II palliative surgery for single ventricle patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) or HLHS variant. Researchers want to see if there are changes in the heart's structure/function following this stem cell-based therapy and compared to children that have not had cell-based therapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine, in preterm infants less than 37 weeks gestation with respiratory distress who are ventilated in the first 48 hours after birth, if mid frequency ventilation strategy using ventilator rate of ≥ 60 to ≤ 150 per minute compared with standard frequency ventilation strategy using ventilator rates of ≥ 20 to < 60 per minute will increase the number of alive ventilator-free days after randomization and reduce the risk of ventilator induced lung injury.

Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) after revascularization for acute limb ischemia is a potentially limb-threatening condition and requires urgent fasciotomy. Compression ultrasound (CU) is an established method for measuring intravenous pressure in superficial veins and, for example, can determine central venous pressure in critically ill patients. In cadaver studies, compression ultrasound has been proven to correlate with invasive intra compartmental pressure (ICP) measurements. This study aims to determine CU's added diagnostic value compared to ICP in detecting ACS after revascularisation.

Primary Sjögren's Syndrome (PSS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease primarily involving the salivary and lacrimal glands. Few data exist regarding survival and success rate of dental implants in patients with PSS. Although a previous study suggest lower success rate for dental implants we hypothesize that dental implants have similar survival and success rate in PSS as healthy controls. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the long-term survival and success rate of dental implants in patients with PSS compared to the healthy controls.

We aimed to conduct a prospective longitudinal interventionnal monocentric study to assess the ability of seven tesla MRI to detect diffuses axonal lesions in patients presenting a post concussional syndrom (PCS) at seven days about a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Our first objective was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of seven tesla MRI runned at seven days after MTBI among patients presenting a PCS.

Tourette's Syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disease characterized tics that start before the age of 18 years. About 5% of cases do not respond to drug treatment and can be classified as refractory and in these cases surgical treatment, with deep brain stimulation, appears as a therapeutic possibility, but with still conflicting results. Our hypothesis is that DBS in Forel's H Field could improve tourette's symptoms, neurological and psychiatric ones.
