All clinical trials

the study consists of an observational study aimed at quantifying the economic burden of the nursing activities on the overall cost of hospitalizations funded through DRG tariffs for Major complexity oncology patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between fundus oculi's vascularization in patients with erectile dysfunction and not, and, in the same patients, before and after using drugs for ED.

The Institutional Registry of Liver Transplantation is a system for data collection related to patients with liver disease who are possible candidates for liver transplantion. This tool was designed by a multidisciplinary team that includes hepatologists, surgeons, informatics and biostatisticians. It intends to collect the information from the clinical evaluation, physical examination, complementary diagnostic methods and laboratory data. The information is captured sistematically, following structured, standardized and monitored processess to ensure the quality of the data obtained. The aim is to use the available technology to generate a complete database that can be used to answer research questions.

The purpose of study is to determine the diagnostic value of Hearing test program on smart phone for detected patients who has hearing loss.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is major global health concern and the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Amplification of Her2/neu gene and/or overexpression of the Her2/neu protein have been observed in GC. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™) is an anti-Her2/neu antibody, which has been successfully applied in GC. However, the intratumoral heterogeneity of Her2/neu overexpression and amplification in GC should be noticed. The investigators investigated the significance of evaluating Her2/neu expression in different paraffin blocks of tumor tissue in GC. Methods: 2000 GC patients from ten centers, patients were divided into a cohort using one tumor tissue paraffin block (cohort 1, n=1000) and a cohort using dual tumor tissue paraffin blocks (cohort 2, n=1000) when evaluating Her2/neu expression status by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In cohort 2, the investigators combined the results from two different paraffin blocks and used the higher one as the final score.

The research project aims to try to answer the many questions raised by the identification of new early repolarization syndrome. The questions are varied with both taking optimal clinical management of patients, the frequency and significance of this anomaly in the population on the electrophysiological and molecular basis responsible for this electrocardiographic abnormality. To try to answer these many questions, the approach will be twofold: clinical and genetic. Establishment of a clinical database containing information of patients who have been identified as carriers of the anomaly based on the initial clinical presentation in order to determine their prognoses. Physiological approach will be based on a molecular approach to identify genetic abnormalities may be involved in this syndrome. 200 asymptomatic patients and an unlimited number of patients who presented syncope or aborted sudden death will be included. A blood sample (15 ml) will be performed at inclusion.

A study on regression of liver fibrosis assessed by transient elastography after Daclatasvir and Asunaprevir combined treatment in advanced fibrotic/cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1b Infection

The aim of this randomized multicenter study is to evaluate the impact in offering the condolence letter to the family caregivers (indicated as the reliable person by the patient himself at each hospitalization) and a bereavement consultation with the reference physician.

The project team developped and validated a French patient-based health-related quality of life instrument in kidney transplant: the QoL Retrans. The aim of the study is to determine the minimum significant change of the valdiated tool: ReTransQol

Evaluation of pulmonary edema is a key factor in monitoring and guidance of therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. To date, methods available at the bedside for estimating the physiologic correlate of pulmonary edema, extravascular lung water(EVLW), often are unreliable or require invasive measurements. The purpose of the this study is to develop a novel approach to reliably assess extravascular lung water by electrical impedance tomography(EIT).
