Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The investigators will assess the feasibility of activity monitoring armbands for continuous measurement of physical activity level in ME/CFS patients, during 6 months follow-up. The main purpose is to assess if continuous measurement of activity level may be incorporated in outcome measures in future clinical interventional trials.

Visceral hypersensitivity is frequent in IBS population up to 60% and is correlated with severity and altered quality of life. Sleeping troubles are most frequent in IBS population. Insomnia is a frequent disorder with an important cost for healthcare. Insomnia could decrease pain threshold. Visceral hypersensitivity was never measure in patients with insomnia. The hypothesis is IBS patients with insomnia probably have lower visceral pain threshold. The objective is to assess pain threshold during a barostat procedure in in IBS patients with or without insomnia in comparison with healthy volunteers or patients with insomnia. If the hypothesis are confirmed, insomnia should be look at in IBS patients and its treatments could improve visceral hypersensitivity and IBS symptoms.

Evaluation of vaccination coverage for influenza, pneumococcus and DTP in patients with pSS and investigated the reasons for non-vaccination.

Hepatorenal syndrome is a life-threatening medical condition and a serious complication of advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis). It consists of a deterioration of the function of the kidneys caused by a severe alteration in the circulation (blood flow to the kidneys) due to liver cirrhosis. Only around half of the patients respond to treatment which consists of intravenous medication. Moreover, the adrenal glands, which are located on the kidneys, also suffer an alteration in the blood flow leading to deterioration in their function as well. Thus, these patients produced less cortisol than needed; this situation is called "relative adrenal insufficiency". Cortisol is an important hormone necessary in extreme situations such as severe diseases. This is a study which will assess the relationship between the presence of adrenal dysfunction and failure to treatment in patients with hepatorenal syndrome.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is defined as the presence of gastroduodenal symptoms in the absence of organic disease that is likely to explain the symptoms. Joint hypermobility (JH) refers to the increased passive or active movement of a joint beyond its normal range. Recent reports have highlighted the co-existence of FD with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III or hypermobility type (EDSIII). The association between FD and EDS III, and the underlying pathophysiological alterations, are poorly understood. We hypothesised that EDS III might influence gastroduodenal sensorimotor function, resulting in dyspeptic symptoms. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the impact of EDS III on gastric motility, nutrient tolerance and dyspeptic symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia.Our aim is to study the prevalence of EDSIII in FD compared to healthy subjects (HS) and to study the impact of co-existing EDSIII on gastric motility, nutrient tolerance and dyspeptic symptoms in FD.

Carpal tunnel syndrome has been suggested to be an early sign of amyloidosi. The investigators will evaluate tissue samples obtained from patients undergoing carpal tunnel release surgery for amyloid.

Lynch Syndrome increases Endometrial Cancer Occurrence in women due to failure in MisMatch Repair System. Lifetime Cumulative risk of developing endometrial Cancer is approximatively 40% in women with Lynch Syndrome. Endometrial cancer is the third women cancer in France. Many risk factors are known in general population. Lots of factors are related to over exposure to estrogen. Data about influence of general risk factors in Women with Lynch Syndrome are poor. Recently, a cohort study appears to have shown a significant decrease in the risk of endometrial cancer with multiparity, the use of hormonal contraception and late menopause in Lynch women. The impact of weight and certain metabolic parameters on the occurrence of endometrial cancers remains poorly known to this day.

This study aims to investigate outcomes and predictors of outcome after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy for severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients.

Starting from isolating primary cells from affected patients, an in vitro disease model system for KS will be developed. Using alternative strategies to obtain patient-derived mesenchymal stem cells, an integrative approach will be adopted for defining both the transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory networks perturbed upon the loss of function of KMT2D. Combining the self-renewal potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with CRISPR/Cas9 technology, an epigenome editing approach as therapeutic strategy to rescue the activity of MLL4 will be developed. A step forward is expected towards the understanding of those the molecular mechanisms governing the aetiology of Kabuki Syndrome (KS) and that the proposed in vitro disease model will provide to the scientific community an experimental system to study the KS. Importantly, the aim is to define the molecular bases of KS and to develop a therapeutic strategy that could ameliorate some of the abnormalities associated with KS.

Within this trial, the cardiovascular and mental status as well as the metabolic profiles of patients with endogenous cortisol excess are evaluated.
