Sunrise® a New Medical Device to Diagnose Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Sleep Apnea SyndromeObstructiveSleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a serious health issue that should be managed in order to limit its adverse health consequences. SAS is known to induce cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and depression. The prevalence of SAS is still growing with social and economic repercussion. Today, polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard reference method for SAS diagnosis. However, it is a constraining and expensive technology. In order to improve patients' life quality, many new technologies have been developed for the SAS diagnosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Sunrise®, a new medical integrated solution for SAS diagnosis, in comparison with PSG. This solution consists in a chin sensor recording mandibular movements and measuring the respiratory event index (ERI) through an artificial intelligence algorithm analysis.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
Tarsal Tunnel SyndromeWidespread pain is observed in patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and lower extremity and foot pain are also common. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between foot pain and tarsal tunnel syndrome in female patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Prevention With Oleanolic Acid of Insulin Resistance
Insulin ResistanceMetabolic SyndromeOleanolic acid (OA), a triterpene that is highly present in olive leaves, has been proposed as component of functional foods in the prevention of metabolic syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory activity. In this research project we will study the presence of OA in postprandial TRL in healthy adolescents and in normal weight. Moreover, THP-1 macrophages will be incubated with LPS for 48h after pretreatment with OA at different concentrations. Also, TRL will be isolated from healthy adolescents before and 2 and 5h postprandially after the intake of a meal containing the functional olive oil or common olive oil and incubated with THP-1 macrophages.
The Effect of a Low FODMAP Diet in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients
Irritable Bowel SyndromeFODMAPTertiary care IBS patients will be recruited for a prospective low FODMAP intervention study, hereby focusing on the reintroduction phase of the diet, where patients are blindly challenged with different FODMAP groups administered as powder, to be added to the strict FODMAP exclusion phase. During the screening phase of two weeks, baseline data regarding psychological, nutritional, microbial, and genetics will be collected. Predictors of treatment response (a 50-point drop on the IBS-severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) during the strict FODMAP exclusion phase of 6 weeks) will be studied with linear mixed models.
Computer Vision Syndrome Visual Sequelae
Computer Vision Syndromethe university students will respond to CVS-F3 survey form and then they will be subjected to complete ophthalmic examination and investigations
Warm Patch Decrease Propofol Injection Pain
Pain SyndromePropofol Infusion Syndrome1 morePropofol causes injection pain is still a common clinical unsolved problem. Mixing a small amount of lidocaine with propofol or injecting lidocaine in advance can reduce the pain caused by propofol injection. Using an air warmer to warm the arm can also reduce the pain caused by propofol injection. Investors suspect that treatment with a warming patch (covering the injection site) can also reduce the pain caused by propofol injection.
Effects of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome on Female Genitalia and Sexual Functions
Primary Sjögren SyndromeA total of 68 women with pSS and 135 healthy female patients were included in the study. All women in the study and control groups were evaluated gynecologically, and genital findings during the examination and variables related to pSS were recorded. Women's sexual functions were evaluated with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and quality of life was evaluated using the Health Status Questionnaire-Short Form 36.
Eye-ECG Approach to Emergencies : Diagnostic Performance of the HINTS Test
Acute Vestibular SyndromeEmergenciesVertigo integrated with acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) is a frequent reason for emergency visits. The French and international literature estimates between 2 to 4% of vertigo prevalence among reasons for coming to emergencies. International classifications define AVS as vertigo or acute dizziness (less than one month) and persistent, gait instability, nausea or vomiting, nystagmus or an intolerance to head movements. In emergency departments, the clinical approach of vertiginous patients is difficult because the "vertigo" term is sometimes used in by patients, or because they use the terms "uneasiness", "vertigo", or "dizziness" without distinction. These terms sometimes include various sensations of "sleeping head", "blurred vision", "instability", "pitch" etc. A first difficulty is therefore to clarify these terms and organize syndrome expressed by the patient. A rigorous interrogation is therefore essential and can be time-consuming. Another difficulty is to carry out an exhaustive clinical examination including the assessment of the general condition and hydration, an ENT examination and a neurological examination. However, at the end of these steps, the orientation central or peripheral etiology is not simple. In the last consensus conference of the Barany Society (2014) the classification of VAS into three types was not sufficient to distinguish "benign" vertigo from "risky" dizziness (related to a central cause).
Stress Assessment With and Without Analgesia During Surfactant Therapy in Preterm Infants.
Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Premature InfantsThis study will compare stress, changes in oxygenation and oxidative damage in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) randomized to receive or not remifentanil as an analgesic drug during the administration of porcine surfactant (poractant alfa, Curosurf®) through the traditional (INSURE) or the less invasive (LISA) method.
Study of Sapacitabine in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Acute Myeloid LeukemiaMyelodysplastic SyndromesThis is a combination study to evaluate sapacitabine administered in alternating cycles with decitabine in previously untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or concomitantly with venetoclax in previously treated AML or MDS
