Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

To analyze the occurrence of transformation from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to acute myeloid leukemia (hereinafter referred to as transformation from MDS to AML) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality (hereinafter referred to as del(5q)MDS) who received Revlimid® 5 mg Capsules (hereinafter referred to as Revlimid) and who are continuing or no longer continuing Revlimid treatment. Planned registration period This period started on the date of initial marketing of Revlimid and will end on the day when the appropriateness of enrollment is assessed for all del(5qMDS) patients in the all-case surveillance. Planned surveillance period This period started on the date of initial marketing of Revlimid and will end 3 years after the last enrolled patient begins receiving Revlimid.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by the presence of multiple vocal and motor tics. Behavioral disorders associated with TS are common, particularly impulsivity, anti-sociality and socially inappropriate behavior. Specifically, cognitive impulsivity could be the source of these troubles. Its anatomical substrates is based on connections between frontal and striatal areas. Initially, a battery of behavioral tests measuring different types of impulsivity (motor, cognitive and decision) will be administered on three groups of subjects: TS: 80 patients (40 patients treated and 40 untreated) and 40 healthy volunteers. Then, investigators will study the fronto-striatal connections in the TS group of 80 patients (40 patients treated and 40 untreated) compared to 40 healthy volunteers using neuroimaging techniques (3T MRI). The techniques used will be functional connectivity study of "resting state" MRI (RS-fMRI) combined with a reconstruction of white matter fibers by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Behavioral performance will be correlated with the correlation imaging data to highlight the functional anatomical substrates of impulsivity in patients with TS. Finally, investigators will look specifically using functional MRI activation, the anatomical and functional substrates of the three types of impulsivity (motor, cognitive and decision-making). Through this study, investigators hope to elucidate the anatomical and functional bases of cognitive impulsivity in patients with TS and thus lay the basis for more targeted treatments.

This study evaluates the use of the Computerized Symptom Capture Tool (C-SCAT), which creates an image of the symptoms the participant is experiencing, for improving symptom self-management in adolescents and young adults with cancer. In this one-group trial, participants will complete the C-SCAT and use it during two clinic visits with their oncology providers.

Patients with POTS experience significant gastrointestinal symptoms. Current evidence suggesting that abnormal post-ganglionic sympathetic function could play a role in the pathophysiology of these GI abnormalities. Sympathetic fiber regulate motor and the postprandial GI peptides secretion. The focus of the present proposal is to determine glucose homeostasis, GI motility, and their association with GI and cardiovascular symptoms in POTS patients versus healthy controls. Furthermore, we will determine differences in these outcomes in POTS patients with and without evidence of postganglionic sympathetic fiber neuropathy. As a long-term goal, this study can lead us to understand the pathophysiology of common co-morbidities in patients with POTS to provide new treatment approaches and prevention strategies.

This study analyzes the prevalence of patients using inhalation devices via incorrect technique and access the adherence of patients to correct inhalation technique when taught along with their subjective improvement of symptoms.

The purpose of this study is to develop, implement and undertake a preliminary evaluation of a psychoeducational intervention for managing a cancer-related symptom cluster including pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance experienced by Vietnamese cancer patients.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is found in 5% to 6% of women of reproductive age. It affects women's reproductive capability; thus patients have risks of infertility, miscarriage, and complicated pregnancy. A study revealed that the prevalence of oligoovulation or anovulation in patients with PCOS ranged from 65% to 80%. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is an important regulator in the ovary that play a rule during development and function. It is suspected to affect clomiphene citrate (cc) resistance. In this study the investigator will assess the accuracy of AMH prediction of response to cc in women with PCOS.

Mindfulness based stress reduction offered to couples where one has metabolic syndrome to see if their stress is reduced as measured by bio markers and surveys

The main purpose of this study is the comparison of frequency of vomiting episodes (number of episodes per year) observed during the year after the begin of Q10 coenzyme treatment to frequency observed during the year before the begin of this treatment in children with cyclic vomiting syndrome. Secondary purposes are the evaluation of life quality of parents and children, of treatment safety and its economic cost compared to other recommended treatments.

The aim of the study is to measure serum levels of myristic acid in septic patients and to compare them with myristic acid serum levels in patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome of non infective etiology and in healthy volunteers. Furthermore, other biomarkers of sepsis are evaluated in comparison with microbiological findings detected either by standard hemocultures or by molecular biological methods.
