Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in AdolescencePostural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome1 morePilot-case-control study on exertion and orthostatic intolerance of adolescents with myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) compared to age-matched healthy controls (HC).
An Observational Study to Evaluate the Incidence of MACCE According to Time Interval of Taking Medication...
Acute Coronary Syndrome or B Cerebral Infarction Requiring DAPT(Clopidogrel + Aspirin) for at Least 6 MonthsThis study is to evaluate the incidence rate of Major Adverse CardioCerebrovascular Events(MACCE) in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome or Cerebral Infarction Who Received DAPT for the secondary prevention and Esomezol Cap for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Aerobic Capacity and Physical Fitness Level of Adolescents With PCOS
Polycystic Ovary SyndromePolycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance starting in the perimenarchal period. Insulin resistance also increases the risk of developing glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disorders. Studies on adult women with PCOS show that their aerobic capacity is affected. Therefore, in this study; it was aimed to compare the physical and cardiovascular fitness levels of adolescent PCOS patients with healthy adolescents.

Carpal Tunnel SyndromePsoriatic ArthritisThis study aimed to investigate relationship between CTS diagnosis with electrodiagnostic studies and median nerve's cross-sectional area measered by US and MRI in PsA patients.
Vascular Compression Assessment Using Transcutaneous Oxymetry in Patients Suspected of Having Thoracic...
Thoracic Outlet SyndromeThoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is characterized by nervous, venous or arterial symptoms resulting from a compression of the thoracic bundle in the thoracic outlet. The diagnostic approach of TOS is still controversial. The investigating team is interested in arterial TOS and have already been able to demonstrate the presence of arm ischemia during dynamic maneuvers using transcutaneous oximetry (TcpO2). The correlation between the measurement of TcpO2 during dynamic maneuvers and the vascular compression type (arterial, venous or both) will be evaluated. The evaluation the correlation between TcpO2 and degree of arterial compression observed in dynamic arteriography (considered as a gold standard examination) will be calculated too. The use of TcpO2 could be developed in the diagnosis assessment of TOS.
Carpal Tunnel/Amyloidosis Blood Sample Study
Carpal Tunnel SyndromeAmyloidosisCarpal tunnel is an early manifestation of amyloidosis in a significant minority of patients. This specimen collection protocol will allow the investigators to screen patients with carpal tunnel syndrome for amyloidosis.
Non-automatic Control of Gait and Posture in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (CIH-Gait)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea SyndromeThe purpose of this randomised controlled study is to determine the impact of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus sub-therapeutic CPAP (placebo) on the control of gait upon severe sleep apnea patients, based on stride time variability.
Effect of Dietary Flavonoids on Intestinal Microbiota, Intestinal Inflammation and Metabolic Syndrome...
Metabolic Syndrome XInflammationThe investigators have hypothesized that dietary flavonoids reduce insulin resistance and subclinical inflammation secondary to reductions in intestinal inflammation and permeability and that these events are mediated through alterations in gut microbiota composition. To test this hypothesis, 30 overweight/obese men and women will be provided two well-controlled diets that are identical in macronutrient content (Protein, 17% en; Fat, 30% en; Carbohydrate, 53% en), but differ markedly in flavonoid content (Low Flavonoid Diet, 10 mg/1000 Kcals; High Flavonoid Diet, 340 mg/1000 Kcals). All meals for both diets will be prepared and fed for 6 weeks each in a randomized cross-over design with endpoints determined in duplicate during the last week of each diet period.
Tako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy and Cardiac Syndrome X: New Insights Into the Pathophysiology
Syndrome XTakotsubo CardiomyopathyTako-Tsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) and Cardiac Syndrome X (CSX) are respectively acute and chronic cardiac conditions whose clinical presentation, mimicking the onset of acute myocardial ischemia in absence of epicardial coronary disease, has progressively gained the interest of the scientific community. However, despite significant progress, their underlying pathophysiology, which seems to evoke some similarities, still remains elusive. Endothelial dysfunction and autonomic imbalance have both been individually implied in their puzzling pathogenesis. The investigators plan to conduct our study in a cohort of TTC patients, CSX patients and healthy volunteers with the following primary objective: to assess the response of endothelial function (through the Endopat score) to the autonomic tone activation induced by a 10-minute stress mental test. The assessment of autonomic tone during activation through the evaluation of Spontaneous BaRoreflex Sensitivity (BRS) and its correlation with endothelial function (Endopat score) will represent secondary objectives. Our study will enroll 15 patients with TTC at least six months after the event, 15 patients with classic CSX and 15 healthy volunteers who will serve as control.
