Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is considered immune reaction of gastrointestinal tract. Therefore there is growing evidence that IBS could occur after gastroenteritis. However, little is known about the incidence of IBS after acute diverticulitis. We thought that post diverticulitis status could induce IBS because diverticulitis was also bowel inflammatory disorder. This survey was designed to identify incidence of post-diverticulitis IBS and risk factor in Korea.

The Ladies ACS study will investigate the relation between age at menopause and severity of coronary artery disease in menopausal women with acute coronary syndromes and clinical indication to coronary angiography.

Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist is sufficient for triggering final oocyte maturation in GnRH antagonist protocol and can significantly reduce incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk patients. However, lower oocyte yield was reported in patients with lower luteinizing hormone (LH) level post trigger with single injection of GnRH agonist, which might be related to the shorter duration and lower amount of LH induced by GnRH agonist. Our aim is to study dual trigger with GnRH agonist and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for preventing OHSS and maintaining clinical outcome in high risk patients who receive controlled ovarian stimulation in GnRH antagonist protocol.

It is crucial to rapidly identify cardiac ischemia in the care of patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Cardiac troponins are a major factor in the diagnostic of myocardial infarction. New methods have been developed to improve the accuracy of the assay and determine low troponin concentrations. Elecsys® (highly sensible T troponin) TnT-HS assay is supposed to help early detection of myocardial infarction after onset of symptoms. It should therefore shorten the transit time to emergencies by a more rapid intervention or a faster return home. The aim of the study is to compare TnT-HS assay to the standard troponin assay in the detection of early cardiac ischemia in patients with ACS.

Create a census for the duration of the search for French patients with SK determining epidemiological and morphological parameters, determine the true frequency of clinical symptoms and identify new ones, identify complications of the disease to improve the care of patients in the hope of a better prognosis of the disease and performing a radiological study by Voxel based morphometry MRI type (N. BODDAERT, HOPITAL Necker-Enfants Malades, Paris) Perform genetic research to identify the genetic bases of SK using CGH-array (Comparative Genomic Hybridization )

The National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions (GenTAC) was initiated in 2006 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). GenTAC established a registry of 3706 patients with genetic conditions that may be related to thoracic aortic aneurysms and collected medical data and biologic samples. The study ended in September 2016. Data and samples are available from NHLBI and requests should be made to BioLINCC. See the NHLBI website for more information: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/research/resources/gentac/.

In myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) the knowledge about chromosomal aberrations is important for diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis and treatment. Usually, chromosomal anomalies in MDS patients are detected in bone marrow cells by chromosome banding analyses of metaphases. Alternatively or additionally they can be diagnosed by Fluorescence-in-Situ-Hybridization (FISH). The investigators here present a novel method for cytogenetic monitoring of MDS patients from peripheral blood which is representative for the clone size in bone marrow cells. The purpose of this prospective multicenter non-interventional diagnostic study is to detect and to follow chromosomal aberrations from peripheral blood closely, to assess karyotype evolution, to detect rare abnormalities and to correlate the molecular-cytogenetic results with peripheral blood counts, bone marrow morphology and treatment modalities and responses.

Despite efforts of learned societies, community cardiology and more generally of most players in the health, cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death among women in France and all over the Western world, there where they fell to second place among men. Clinical practice and the disparity between the sexes are still insufficiently known. Multicenter observational study on a cross-week comparative basis with men

This study is aimed at exploring the use of whole body MRI for early cancer detection in TP53 mutation carriers and population controls, with the hypothesis that more cancers will be detected in the TP53 mutation carrier group. A secondary end-point will be the number of incidental findings detected and subsequent investigations required. A series of questionnaires will be used to assess the psychological impact of screening on both the study and control group.

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of genetic variation in the oxidative stress response on critical perioperative and short-term outcomes after neonatal heart surgery. The goals will be to determine 1) if the oxidative stress pathway is an important one for therapeutic intervention in neonates with severe congenital heart defects and 2) if variants in the oxidative response pathway can be used to identify patients at increased risk for adverse outcomes.
