Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

Patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have respiratory and proprioceptive disorders. The aim of this study is to explore whether there is an alteration in lung volume perception in patients with hEDS compared to healthy subjects, and whether a cognitive task can influence ventilation control differently in subjects with hEDS than in healthy subjects.

To collect blood and urine samples from patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), and SEID (Systemic Exertion Intolerance Syndrome) and controls for genomic, viral and metabolomic testing.

Flow controlled ventilation (FCV) is a fairly new mode of mechanical ventilation, consisting of a constant inspiratory and expiratory flow. Inspiration is thus comparable to volume controlled ventilation (VCV). The actively controlled, constant flow during expiration is unique. FCV is known to minimize dissipated energy to the lung [ref] and is therefore supposed to aid in lung protective ventilation. The VICAR study is designed as a prospective single cohort crossover trial. The intervention consists of a sequence of respiratory modes: baseline pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) during 5 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of FCV with an evone respirator (Ventinova Medical B.V., Eindhoven, The Netherlands) and eventually 30 minutes of VCV. Every participant will receive the intervention. Respiratory rate (RR), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and inspiratory fraction of oxygen (FiO2) will be held constant. According to the manufacturers guidelines, an I:E ratio of 1:1 will be pursued during FCV. During FCV, the respirator will be set with the same PIP as during baseline PCV. For VCV, the same tidal volume as during baseline PCV will be set.

Study based on data concerning the first pregnancy treated and followed up after the diagnosis of oAPS in the NOH-APS cohort, according to clinical results already published; and on a thematic library collected and preserved at the time of the positive pregnancy test. ADAMTS 13 will be explored in the available samples defined above: ADAMTS13 antigen (presence of the molecule), ADAMTS13 activity (VWF proteolysis activity of the molecule), global autoantibodies against ADAMTS13 (plasma antibodies recognizing solid phase insolubilized ADAMTS13), these 3 parameters for the description of ADAMTS13 being measured using commercially available diagnostic kits, ELISA type, Technozyme® range, Technoclone, Vienna, Austria. The clinical endpoint evaluated will be the occurrence (yes/no) of preeclampsia, which is assessed globally, all subtypes combined. Then evaluated according to subtype: late preeclampsia from 34 weeks, early preeclampsia before 34 weeks, eclampsia (convulsions), HELLP syndrome, preeclampsia associated with the birth of a small-for-gestational-age child (defined at percentile 10 of the tables adjusted for gestational age and sex; severe: defined at percentile 3), preeclampsia associated with a retro-placental hematoma, ...

This protocol provides access to eculizumab treatment for participants with severe COVID-19.

The consensus therapeutic strategy implies that COVID patients with acute lung injury due to coronavirus are routinely placed in prone position in an attempt to improve oxygenation by increasing ventilation homogeneity. The purpose of the study is to quantify with the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) the changes in the ventilation and aeration in the dorsal regions of the lung when the patient is placed in prone position.

This study seeks to address two key questions related to sensory dysregulation in Tourette syndrome (TS) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD): 1) Is sensory dysregulation in OCD clinically distinct from that in TS? 2) To what extent does sensory dysregulation affect QOL in each of these disorders? Patients with TS, patients with OCD, and healthy controls will complete an online battery of validated questionnaires assessing sensory dysregulation, psychiatric symptoms, and quality of life.

The aim of the study is to evaluate Oral Health related quality of life of children and adolescents with down syndrome and Parental Perception, knowledge and Attitude on oral health conditions of children and adolescents with down syndrome

Background: Suboptimal health status (SHS) is a dynamic state potential clinical stage or prior psychosomatic disease stage during which people have not been diagnosed with a disease, but they have risk factors for illness and have tendency to develop diseases. The term refers to an existing condition of ill health that could lead to a pathologic condition but could also be eliminated, enabling the individual in question to return to a state of good health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) emphasizes the importance of health care and the idea that preventive treatment for diseases is superior to curative treatment. Therefore, early TCM-based intervention can improve the health status of people with SHS. People with SHS often experience such nonspecific symptoms as fatigue; such symptoms are typical of SHS from the perspective of TCM. The present study investigated people with SHS and fatigue as their primary symptom. All enrolled participants completed a physical questionnaire, after which their physiological parameters were monitored using a cloud physiological signal monitoring system to investigate correlations with TCM patterns. Methods: The participants first completed a body constitution questionnaire, the WHO Quality of Life questionnaire, the SHSQ-25 questionnaire, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and subsequently underwent sphygmography to determine their pulse patterns. Analyses of pulse waves were presented in relation to the spectral energy ratio (SER), and SER10 scores represented subtle changes in internal organ blood flow; 13-50-Hz spectrum analysis for pulse delineated any flow energy deviation in organs.

One of the most important causes of carpal tunnel syndrome is increased pressure in the canal. With the loading of the palmaris longus at 20 degrees of wrist extension, the pressure within the canal increases more than the load exerted on other flexor tendons. Several studies have shown the association of carpal tunnel syndrome with the presence of palmaris longus. In this study, our aim is to investigate how the presence or absence of palmaris longus changes EMG measurements in the median nerve. Individuals with a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome or entrapment neuropathy will be given the Schaffer test, a standardized test to test the presence of the palmaris longus muscle. The result will be noted, EMG examination will be requested and the electrophysiological properties of the median nerve will be recorded.
