Active clinical trials for "Syndrome"

The objective of the study is to determine the correlation between the physiological variables and the degree of consolidation in lung computed tomography in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

This study aims to quantify perfusion, assess arterial vasoconstriction, and confirm reversibility using 3T ASL-MRI and MRA in 10 patients with suspected RCVS. Acquiring these data at multiple time points during RCVS progression, the investigators will assess the relationship between vasoconstriction and downstream perfusion and determine the role of these imaging techniques in early and accurate diagnosis of RCVS. The investigators also aim to investigate whether early imaging abnormalities can predict RCVS complications and clinical outcomes.

Different study of HLHa patients : Diagnosis criteria, because criteria are based on pediatric genetic studies. Physiopathological studies: genetic studies have demonstrated the role of CD8+ cells, in particular because they have a genetic defect affecting their cytotoxic functions in HLH pediatric. the aim is to establish if the same defect is found in both some or in all of HLHa patients. If this is the case, to then establish whether hypomorphic genetic mutations are responsible.

The purpose of this study is to see if the CoaguChek XS is accurate in measuring International Normalized Ratio (INR) in patients with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APL) receiving warfarin therapy.

In this study it will be analyzed how often the sleep apnea syndrome can be observed in patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer with the help of ApneaLink device by ResMed.

Acute Aortic Syndrome (AAS) is a potentially life-threatening cause of sudden, severe chest pain. There are several possible underlying causes, which cannot be distinguished from one another at the bedside. Current practice is to image this with two CT scans of the chest, one before injection of a contrast dye into the blood stream and then one after. With the advancement of CT scanner technology, improvements in software interpretation and screen resolution, the investigators hypothesise that performing the contrast scan on its own is diagnostically equivalent to both the pre- and contrast scans

The Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (SED) comprises a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous, inherited connective tissue diseases. The hypermobility type is the most frequent. It is characterized by a generalized joint hypermobility and a hyperextension skin. Chronic pain syndrome is often present. Its psychological impact can be significant (anxiety, depression, impact on the quality of life of the patients). The disease also requires changes and a permanent adaptability (coping). It can lead to feelings of isolation and misunderstanding. The French association of the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes and the rehabilitation center of the 'Croix-Rouge Française des Massues' propose a patient education program for the patients with a hypermobility type SED (the PrEduSED program). This education program is open to patients and their caregivers located in France. The research hypothesis is that the PrEduSED program improves their coping and reduces patient anxiety at 6 months (these are the two clinical criteria on which the PrEduSED could have the most impact, given the results of the first sessions).

The purpose of this study is to learn about the relationship between family factors and developmental and psychosocial outcomes in children with congenital heart disease at 6 years of age. A secondary purpose is to learn more about psychosocial outcomes in children with congenital heart disease and their families over time. About 250 mothers and fathers at 15 medical centers will take part in this study; 35 will be from Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.

The aim of the study is to investigate the correlation between increased bone metabolism in the 3 phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) and decreased pressure pain thresholds in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) of the upper limb and a non-CRPS-group. The investigators assume that there will be a significant correlation between the investigated values in the CRPS-group whereas the non-CRPS-group shows no significant correlation.

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked disorder caused by abnormal cardiolipin metabolism and is characterized by skeletal and cardiomyopathy and high mortality rates. Through clinical metabolism and imaging studies and pluripotent stem cell induction and molecular techniques on skin biopsy samples, this project will produce novel translational information regarding the pathogenesis of BTHS, reveal potential targets for interventions and provide unique data regarding nutrient metabolism and abnormal cardiolipin and mitochondrial function. This project has the potential to provide information that could significantly improve morbidity and mortality in children and young adults with BTHS and may have relevance to other non-BTHS related conditions such as aging and adult heart failure.
