The Study of microRNA 107 (miRNA 107) and Beta-amyloid Precursor Protein-cleaving Enzyme 1 (BACE1)...
Alzheimer's DiseaseThe miRNA 107 gene is increasingly appreciated to serve key functions in humans. The miRNA regulate gene expression involved in cell division, metabolism, stress response, and angiogenesis in vertebrate species. But the relationship and diagnosis capability of miRNA 107 and BACE1 mRNA gene expression in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and normal control is still a mystery.

Immunoglobulins Anti Platelets In Breast Milk Of Maternal ITP
Mothers With ITP ConditionThe purpose of this study is to determine whether mothers with Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has antibodies against platelets in breastfeeding milk aside control group of healthy mothers. In order to prevent severe thrombocytopenia in infants born to mothers with ITP.

A RETROspective Data Collection of comPRESSion Anastomosis Using the ColonRing
DiverticulumColon11 moreThe proposed study is a post marketing, observational, retrospective data collection intended to gather and record data on patients treated with the ColonRing device in routine clinical practice at 4-6 centers. The data will assist in future evaluating the performance of the ColonRing device in regards to the creation of a colorectal anastomosis in Low Anterior Resection procedures. Hypothesis: The performance of the ColonRing, determined by the rate of complications, will be within the acceptable range reported in the literature for alternative treatment modalities.

Prevalence of Histoplasmosis in HIV + Patients With a Rapid Diagnostic Test in West Indies
HIVHistoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum histoplasmosis is the leading cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and death in French Guiana and probably in the Amazon. The diagnosis of this disease requires invasives procedures, laboratory performance, and delays up to several weeks. The Mycotic Diseases Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established a rapid, sensitive and specific ELISA test for blood and urine samples that looks interesting in endemic areas, particularly in developing countries. The study aims to measure the proportion of HIV-infected patients hospitalized or in outpatient awaiting hospitalization for a suspicion of infectious syndrome whose serum and/or urinary antigen detection tests are positive for Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum.

Regional Kidney Paired Donor Exchange in Sensitized Patients
The Rate of Kidney Transplants in Sensitized Patients.This is a prospective, multi-center, observational study to determine if a combination of desensitization and enrollment in a regional kidney paired donor (KPD) exchange program improves the overall rate of kidney transplantation in sensitized patients.

IMproved PRegnancy Outcome by Early Detection
Pre-eclampsiaPregnancy3 moreThe overall objective of the IMPROvED project is to develop a sensitive, specific, high-throughput and economically viable early pregnancy screening test for preeclampsia. This will involve a multicentre, phase IIa clinical predictive study to assess and refine novel and innovative prototype tests based on emerging metabolomic and proteomic technologies developed by SMEs (small to medium size enterprise) within the consortium. The study will i) recruit 5000 first-time pregnant women; ii) establish a high calibre biobank, augmented by accurate clinical metadata; iii) determine whether prototype predictive assays and algorithms translate to the clinical environment; iv) assess potential synergy of a combined metabolomic and proteomic approach and v) progress regulatory approval and development of the selected test into the clinical arena.
