title: Influence of Keratoconus on Stress at Work

acronym: KERATOSTRESS

summary:
Keratoconus is a progressive disorder in which central and paracentral corneal stromal thinning occurs.

No studies evaluated the influence of keratoconus on stress at work, nor the influence of treatments of keratoconus on stress at work, including Quality of Life at work and on perception of work. Moreover, it has been shown that some pathologies had greater influence in some occupations, also depending on other characteristics of individuals such as age, sex or socio professional groups.

Therefore, we hypothesized that keratoconus 1) will influence stress at work including QoL at work and perception of work, 2) will have a greater influence in some occupations and depending on age, sex, or stage of keratoconus, 3) will induce stoppage of work and occupational reclassifications.

title: Contribution of Indocyanine Green Angiography in the Detection of Parathyroids and the Prevention of Hypoparathyroidism Post Total Thyroidectomy

acronym: HYPOCAAVI

summary:
Hypoparathyroidism is the most common complication after a total thyroidectomy surgery. It becomes permanent after 6 months.
Untreated permanent hypoparathyroidism is a source of numerous complications in general and therefore requires lifelong replacement therapy resulting in a significant deterioration in quality of life.
The intraoperative use of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography has recently been described as a reliable means of detecting parathyroidism and predicting the risk of postoperative hypoparathyroidism.
This use could prove to be a way to preserve parathyroid in vivo and thus reduce post-operative hypoparathyroidism rates.

title: Anatomopathological Analysis and Clinical Evolution After Radiological Removal of Retrievable Vena Cava Filters

summary:
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common pathology causing significant morbidity and mortality. It is usually secondary to migration through the inferior vena cava (IVC) of a formed thrombus in the veins of the lower limbs or pelvis. The inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) is a medical device whose purpose is to prevent thrombus migration from the veins of the legs and pelvis to the pulmonary arteries, thus preventing the occurrence of Pulmonary embolism (PE).

There is no data on the interactions of Retrievable inferior vena cava filters (IVCF) with the inferior vena cava (intrafilter thrombi, insertion through the venous wall) although it may modify the evolution after IVCF retrievable.

title: Personalized Multichannel Transcranial Direct Current Electrical Stimulation (tDCS) in Drug-resistant Epilepsy: Evaluation of Therapeutic and Neurophysiological Effects

acronym: GALVANI PS-1

summary:
This project aims to conduct a pilot study based on the targeting of the epileptogenic zone previously localized very precisely by stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). SEEG is used as part of the pre-surgical assessment. It consists, thanks to the intracerebral implantation of electrodes in the brain of patients, to perform an intracerebral electrophysiological recording and thus to precisely explore the epileptogenic regions.

In order to study the neuromodulatory and therapeutic effects of tDCS on epileptic brains, non-invasive techniques for measuring electrophysiological brain activity such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-resolution electroencephalography (HR EEG) will be used.

Finally, since epilepsy is considered to be a disorder of brain functional networks associated with disturbed brain connectivity, the effects of tDCS on cortical excitability by studying the variations in functional connectivity induced by stimulation will be studied.

title: Acute Reno-Cardiac Action of Dapagliflozin In Advanced Heart Failure Patients on Heart Transplant Waiting List: a Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized Clinical Trial.

acronym: ARCADIA-HF

summary:
In the DAPA-HF trial, the use of dapagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), reduced significantly the risk of worsening heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes compared to placebo among patients with heart failure (HF) and a reduced ejection fraction. This new drug offers a very potent and interesting therapeutic pathway since it reduces clinical congestion, it preserves glomerular renal function, does not appear to cause symptomatic clinical hypotension and improves symptoms and quality of life compared to placebo.

Advanced heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction represent a small and severe subgroup of heart failure of patients with frequent worsening heart failure events and high rates of death. The effect of dapagliflozin in this subgroup of patients was not assessed in the DAPA-HF study. The therapeutic profile of SGLT2 inhibitors appears to be of high interest, since this group of patients has a poor tolerance to usual heart failure drugs, frequent worsening renal function and congestive symptoms persistence with poor quality of life scores.

Soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a signaling glycoprotein considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of kidney disease. It is associated with the risk of acute kidney injury in different clinical and experimental situation. It is also a new validated biomarker predictive of adverse clinical outcome in heart failure patients. This biomarker allows a better risk stratification in heart failure patients after adjustment for Nt-proBNP.

As a useful biomarker implicated in both heart failure and acute kidney injury, suPAR seems to be an interesting biomarker to assess cardio-renal benefits of dapagliflozin.

The aim of this study is to investigate if a treatment by dapagliflozin reduces significantly suPAR compared to placebo in a population of advanced heart failure patients, candidates to heart transplantation. The effect of dapagliflozin compared to placebo will also be assessed on other secondary heart failure outcomes in this patient population.

title: Impact of Music Added to the Usual Treatment on the Anxiety of Patients Undergoing Outpatient Cataract Surgery With Topical Anesthesia: Randomized Controlled Trial

acronym: MUSICAT

summary:
Most patients treated for cataract surgery benefit from a short outpatient course with topical local anesthesia.

Having to undergo surgery, especially on the eye, without being asleep, can be stressful. Sometimes waiting in a waiting room with other patients can increase this stress. Patient anxiety may increase blood pressure potentially leading to the prescription of nicardipine to allow surgery to be performed. The patient's anxiety also increases the surgeon's stress, which can alter the conditions for performing the intervention and increase the risk of intraoperative complications.

Besides the administration of anxiolytics, nurses have few options for patients with anxiety. However, the treatment response time is not always appropriate and the patient's cooperation during the procedure can sometimes be impaired.

The effect of music on preoperative anxiety has been evaluated in several studies and has shown a significant decrease in anxiety before surgery.

MusicCare® is a "digital treatment" based on the principles of hypnoanalgesia which has been tested in the management of patients with various pathologies (depression, Alzheimer's disease, chronic pain, etc.) and has shown relative effectiveness. the absence of intervention on the pain and anxiety of patients.

In the context of cataract surgery with topical local anesthesia, we would like to assess the contribution of offering the MusicCare® listening device on patients' anxiety about absence

title: Evaluation of Professional Practices in the Prescription of Biological Treatments for RA Taking Into Account IL6 as a Biomarker

acronym: REMISIX

summary:
Several studies have shown the relevance of the IL6 level before treatment or after 6 months, as a predictive biomarker for the persistence of remission. The IL6 assay is now routinely available using the instruments available at the Montpellier University Hospital and with reagents provided by the ROCHE Laboratory. Moreover medical practices should incorporate this parameter. However, relevant threshold shlould be defined before being able to integrate biomarkers such as IL6 for monitoring bDMARDs in an algorithm.

The medical staff of Clinical Immunology Unit has decided to include the dosage of IL-6 during a routine biological assessment during patient visit to follow the new EULAR recommendations . This measument will be perfom in addition to the CRP and biochemical parameters on subjects with active RA or in remission upon the introduction of biological treatments or JAKi or during remission after at least 6 months of treatment. From March to July 2021, 200 patients will beenrolled and will benefit of this assessement. The investigators will retrospectively define clinical correlations with serum IL6 levels in order to define a threshold. In the second stage, a decisional algorithm based on the results of this project will be create. This will allow an improvement of the medical practices thanks to the integrationof of serum IL6 dosage as a standard during patients visits. The IL-6 assay will be performed on the e801 module of the Cobas lines (Roche Diagnostics) currently in place in the Biochemistry and Hormonology laboratory. The Elecsys® IL-6 - Roche Diagnostics test, high sensitivity, is an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.


title: Interstitial Fluid Composition in Patients With Septic Versus Non-septic Shock: an Exploratory Pilot Study

acronym: INTERSEP

summary:
Septic shock is a common reason for admission to intensive care units and severe infections are responsible for 6 million deaths a year worldwide. Fluid management appears to be a major issue in resuscitation and particularly in septic shock, where generalised oedema is almost systematic and is a major factor in poor prognosis during sepsis. The formation of oedema corresponds to an imbalance, according to Frank-Starling's law of the heart, between the vascular compartment and the interstitial compartment, which is composed of the interstitial liquid and an extracellular matrix. This extracellular matrix consists essentially of a network of collagen and fibroblast fibres. Even though all of the plasma in the body transits through the interstitium in 24 hours and desite its major importance in the microenvironment and intercellular communication, the interstitial compartment has not been fully described. In oncology, interstitial tissue seems to contribute to tumour growth through changes in matrix composition and pressure in the interstitium. This pressure actively contributes to the regulation of transcapillary filtration, and thus to the oedema and hypovolemia observed during sepsis. In usual conditions, the fibroblasts exert a tension on the collagen fibres of the matrix via integrin Beta-1 (ITGB1). This tension is released under the action of pro-inflammatory mediators, resulting in negative pressure which potentiates the formation of oedema.

It has been shown in an endotoxemia model that there is a thousandfold higher concentration of ITGB1 in the interstitium compared to the vascular compartment, suggesting a local secretion of this cytokine. The alteration of the extracellular matrix could also play a role in the perpetuation of oedema during septic shock. Considered as an organ in its own right, interstitial tissue is far from playing a passive role between the vascular compartment and the cells. The hypothesis is that interstitial fluid analysis could improve our understanding of the physiopathology of sepsis, in particular on the alteration of the mechanisms of fluid movement regulation, which remains very poorly understood while being closely associated with prognosis in patients with sepsis.

summary: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide and its progression-free survival is still low, around 10 months. Thirthy to 50% of patients do not respond to chemotherapy upon initiation of treatment, suggesting that early development of chemoresistance mechanisms remains a major challenge. In order to better characterize these mechanisms, we aim to develop a model of tumoroids derived from patients with a colorectal tumors prior to any systemic anti cancer treatment. This project will both allow us to study the role of the immunological microenvironment in chemoresistance and identify new predictive markers of tumor response. It will then serve to develop innovative personalized medicine strategies by targeting the newly identified mechanisms. This study should in fine help to improve the cancer patient's care.

title: Strain Analysis for Assessment of Myocardic Dysfunction During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

acronym: STRAIN ETO

summary:
Mycocardial systolic function (contractility) is an essential element of cardio-circulatory physiology during major visceral surgery, in particular during liver transplantation during which several factors are likely to be at the origin of a ventricular dysfunction: acute hemorrhage, major volume changes, acute pulmonary arterial hypertension and ischemia-reperfusion syndrome.

Ventricular dysfunction is an underestimated intraoperative liver transplantation phenomenon while it constitutes a risk factor for peroperative and postoperative morbidity and mortality established that graft function can be compromised through the phenomena of low cardiac output and hepatic congestion.

Also, better analyzing myocardial systolic function during liver transplantation could guide practitioners in the treatments to be undertaken, evaluate their effects and diagnose various complications.

In addition, the usual cardiac output measurement systems (transpulmonary thermodilution techniques and pulse wave contour analysis) are poorly suited to liver transplantation. Frequent variations in blood volume, vasomotor tone and temperature require regular recalibrations and prevent a continuous and reliable estimate of cardiac output.

Thus, the choice of hemodynamic monitoring during liver transplantation performed in our center is transesophageal ultrasound, a semi-invasive method with a favorable benefit-risk ratio in this category of the population. However, analysis of right ventricular systolic function by classical indices is difficult in transesophageal ultrasound for reasons of alignment of the ultrasound shot on the right ventricular. The analysis of left ventricular systolic function is complex due to the sudden variations in volume and the difficulty in carrying out planimetry measurements in real time.

Myocardial strain imaging has been developed in recent years and is widely validated for the assessment of left ventricular contractile function. It was subsequently applied to the exploration of the right ventricular. Its measurement can be performed from recordings on dedicated software.

Thus, the strain could make it possible to better assess myocardial systolic dysfunction in liver per-transplantation from the transesophageal echographic loops recorded in current practice at the different operating times. Strain measurements will be carried out a posteriori from the images which are acquired in a standard way during the operation.

title: Measure of Stress After the First Wave of Covid 19 Within Hospital Workers

summary:
As of December 2019, the global pandemic of COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout the world, putting healthcare staff at the frontline.

In this context, several factors leading to the appearance of psychiatric symptoms have emerged : work overload, fear of being infected or of infecting, exhaustion… (The Lancet, 2020)

Indeed, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, insomnia and increased stress have been reported (Rossi et al., 2020).

Furthermore, the increased anxiety and depression symptoms and stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk of suicide in this already high-risk population. For example, suicidal ideation has been reported in up to 5% of healthcare workers in the United States (Young et al., 2021).

It is therefore essential to evaluate the incidence of psychiatric disorders (e.g. PTSD, depression, suicide) and their associated risk factors among the hospital staff.

To do so, Montpellier University Hospital healthcare staff was asked their mental state during the first wave of COVID-19.

title: Randomized Pilot Study Evaluating the Effectiveness of Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation as an Adjuvant Treatment in Patients With Sepsis in Intensive Care.

acronym: SNV-Sepsis

summary: Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care. About 50% of patients with septic shock die after 1 year; and 50% of survivors suffer from cognitive decline. The pathophysiological mechanisms of serious complications of sepsis are now well known. In fact, the systemic inflammation related to sepsis amplifies the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and neurotoxic mediators, hence an increase in deleterious phenomena such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, endothelial activation, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, neuroinflammation (astrocytic and microglial activation) leading to multi-organ failure which compromises the patient's vital and functional prognosis. Although there has been progress in the understanding of its pathophysiology, the management of sepsis and septic shock in intensive care relies mainly on anti-infective treatments and the restoration of cardiovascular and respiratory functions. There is virtually no adjuvant therapy for the management of sepsis, apart from a few hormonal therapies such as insulin to maintain blood glucose levels below 180 mg / dL and low doses of corticosteroids and vasopressin. There is therefore a pressing need to develop innovative treatments targeting inflammatory and immunological processes in order to reduce the complications of sepsis and improve patient prognosis. Some recent work has shown that electrical vagus nerve stimulation (SNV), a technique used for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, can modulate inflammatory and immune responses and control inflammation syndrome in animal models of sepsis, arthritis and rheumatism in humans. In this pilot study the investigators plan to evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous (non-invasive) SNV as an adjuvant treatment in patients with sepsis in intensive care.

title: Treatment of Hyperlactatemia in Acute Circulatory Failure Based on Analysis of CO2: a Prospective Randomized Superiority Study (The LACTEL Study)

acronym: LACTEL

summary:
The management of a patient with shock is based on improving tissue oxygenation through hemodynamic optimization. Lactate is a marker of tissue hypoperfusion commonly used in the ICU. In principle, hyperlactatemia can be caused by either increased tissue production (tissue hypoperfusion: type A), decreased lactate uptake (type B), or a combination of both mechanisms. It is important to correctly determine the cause(s) of hyperlactatemia, as this determines the treatment (expanders, inotrope, vasopressor, blood derivative transfusion), and the patient's morbidity and mortality. A classic example of this concept is volume expanders, which are frequently used to correct hyperlactatemia secondary to tissue hypoperfusion, but are associated with mortality if used excessively (fluid overload). In clinical practice, it is difficult to differentiate the exact causes of hyperlactatemia (type A and type B). From work carried out over the last 20 years in septic shock and then in other states of shock and in the operating theatre, it has been shown that the arteriovenous CO2 gradient (pCO2gap) measured from arterial and venous blood gases is a marker of tissue hypoperfusion with better predictive ability than the usual markers (clinical examination, SVO2....). Furthermore, when we relate pCO2gap to the arteriovenous O2 difference (pCO2gap /C(a-v)O2), this ratio allows us to distinguish with greater accuracy between states of acute circulatory failure associated with anaerobiosis (tissue hypoperfusion, type A) and those related to the underlying disease.

Also, several studies have demonstrated a strong ability of the pCO2gap and the pCO2gap/CavO2 ratio to predict the severity of shock, mortality of the shock patient, hyperlactatemia, and correction of hyperlactatemia with hemodynamic treatment. As a result, many authors have proposed algorithms for the management of shock patients based on the measurement of these CO2-derived indexes.

The hypothesis of this study is that the use of an algorithm based on CO2gap and the CO2gap/CavO2 ratio is superior in terms of correction of hyperlactatemia to usual practice based on clinical and macro-hemodynamics.


title: Optimized C-arm Cone Beam CT (CBCT) in the Neuro Angio-suite (NAS) for the Endovascular Treatment (EVT) of Acute Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke

acronym: ASO-AVC

summary: When it comes to acute stroke, everyone deserves the best care. Today, more patients can benefit from endovascular treatment (EVT) in a comprehensive stroke center. With the significant advances in C-arm Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imagings directly in the neuro angio-suite (NAS), the investigators are now able to identify, plan and treat stroke patients in the NAS, without the need for a separate CT scan. This provides valuable, time-saving support for critical patients in acute need of EVT. The main objective is to assess the diagnostic confidence of this optimized C-arm Cone Beam CT, named in french ASO, in the NAS for the detection of brain abnormalities and hemorrhagic complications for critical patients with acute stroke. The secondary objectives are to study the variability of the diagnostic accuracy concerning the staging of the stroke, the analysis of the brain vessel, the relevance of artefact reduction post treatment and the amount of dose for this ASO.

title: Norepinephrine Load and Relationship With Prognosis in Critically Patients With Circulatory Shock

summary:
Norepinephrine is recommended as first-line vasopressor in critically ill patients, regardless of shock etiology. Its advantages over dopamine and/or epinephrine have been demonstrated, especially by reducing tachycardia events. The current guidelines recommend a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mmHg that in the resuscitation from sepsis-induced hypoperfusion. Some study reported that delay in initiation of vasopressor therapy was associated with an increase mortality risk in patient with septic shock .The recent experts' opinion suggest that " vasopressors should be started early, before (complete) completion of fluid ressuscitation ".

In the event of refractory septic shock, high-dose vasopressors may be used. The precise maximal dose of norepinephrine associated with mortality excess has been poorly studied. High doses have been defined by a cutoff value ranging from 0.5 μg/kg/min to 2 μg/kg/min and recently by 1 μg/kg/min for mortality at 90% and by 0,75 μg/kg/min for mortality at 60%. Furthermore, an increasing vasopressor dosing intensity during the first 24 hours after shock septic was associated with increased mortality depending of fluid administration. If a threshold value of norepinephrine score can be obtained, it could indicate the association with another vasopressor such as vasopressin or surrogates.

The primary aim of the present study aimed to confirm if a given norepinephrine dose is associated with mortality. The secondary aims were the link between mortality and norepinephrine duration, cumulative dose in order to build a score that predicts a futility of increasing norepinephrine dose.

title: Performance of Prostate MRI and Targeted Biopsy to Detect Residual Prostate Cancer Following Focal Therapy

acronym: IRMProft

summary:
The management of localized prostate cancer remains controversial because of a risk of over diagnosis and over treatment. Focal therapy represents an approach to improve the therapeutic ratio of prostate cancer treatments. Focal therapy has been developed as minimally invasive procedure with the aim of providing equivalent oncological safety, reduced toxicity and improved functional outcomes. Multiparametric (mp) MRI Imaging may provide a reliable mean of monitoring for disease recurrence, and has been suggested as the most accurate imaging tool currently available for systematic detection of recurrence, pre-biopsy and preoperative mapping for an eventual salvage therapy. However, question about the performance of MRI and targeted biopsy in monitoring and defining successful therapy and follow up has been poorly evaluated. Modalities (standard biopsy, ablation zone biopsy vs targeted biopsy) and number of biopsies to be performed, depending on the results of MRI, remains unanswered due to a lack of available data.

We hypothesize that the combination of MpMRI of the prostate with subsequent targeted biopsy (TB) may improve detection of prostate cancer and may therefore improve the follow-up of men after focal therapy (FT) to better identify patients that need a salvage treatment and when.


title: Diagnostic Validity of a New Strategy for the Rapid Detection of Microorganisms and Their Resistance to Antibiotics Responsible for Pneumonia in Pediatric Intensive Care Units Using Protected Distal Samples

acronym: RAPSODI

summary: In patients with infectious pneumonitis, the FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus Panel technique (multiplex PCR) on a respiratory sample makes it possible to identify the responsible pathogen and its resistance to antibiotics in less than an hour and therefore to quickly adapt the anti- infectious. FILMARRAY® Pneumonia Plus has been validated on two types of specimens from adult intubated patients, tracheal aspirations and bronchoalveolar lavage. It has not been validated on protected distal samples which are nevertheless used in current practice. This project will study the diagnostic validity of this technique performed on this type of sample. If the validity is demonstrated, this will allow this technique to be used on the protected distal sample which is a reliable sample and used in the context of respiratory infections, in particular acquired under ventilation in children (bronchoalveolar lavage is less easy and little used in practice in children).

title: Toxicity of Treatments for Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial Infections in Cancer Patients or Not

acronym: MYCATRES

summary:
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly common and have a poor prognosis: 5-year mortality can reach 40 to 50%, depending on the type of mycobacteria and the immune system of the host involved. Cancer patients are at higher risk of infectious morbidity and mortality, which may be due to disease-related immune dysfunction, immunosuppressive effects of chemotherapy, or long-term placement of a vascular catheter. However, data on the treatment of NTM species that cause infections and the disease characteristics of these pathogens in cancer patients are limited despite the growing cancer population worldwide. Recently, M. avium infections have been described in patients suffering from cancers (hematological or not), in particular in patients receiving checkpoint inhibitors. Although the proportion of M. avium pneumonia in retrospective series is low (0.8-2%), it has been shown that this population is younger, suffers less from sub-pulmonary pathology. (indicating immunosuppression in these patients) but are therefore treated less than non-cancerous subjects.

This retrospective study in CHU Amiens is searching on the number of side effects of NTM treatment in two groups (cancerous and no cancerous) to assess the cause of the decrease of NTM treatment in cancerous patients.

title: Impact of Age and Geriatric Co-morbidities on Lymphocyte Phenotype in Patients 70 Years of Age and Older

acronym: PHENOGERIA

summary: An individual's immune profile changes with age, and can sometimes be involved in the development of certain diseases such as infections or cancers, in a process called immunosenescence. Some data tend to show that there is a link between this immune profile and geriatric fragility (autonomy, difficulties with walking, memory, undernutrition, co-morbidities, depression). The aim of this study is to describe this profile, or immune phenotype, and to see if there is a link with the different aspects of geriatric assessment in patients without cancer or infection. In addition, these data will serve as a basis for comparison with the same analyses performed on breast cancer patients at the Centre Georges François Leclerc.


title: Evaluation of Tools to Assess Medication Adherence

summary:
The issue of medication adherence (MA) has long been undestimated but is now growing interest due to both the increase of patients with chronic diseases and the aging of the population. According to the World Health Organization, only 50% of patients with chronic illnesses correctly follow physician's prescriptions in developed countries. Beyond the individual consequences that failure to adherence can engender (increased morbidity, mortality and hospitalizations), this concept also encompasses a collective dimension (risk of transmission of infectious diseases and increased health care costs). Today, improving MA would have more impact on human health than developping new medical therapies. That's why detecting non-adherence constitutes a major public health issue in which pharmacists play a significant role through medication reconciliation and patients' education.

The methods wildly used are based on indirect measurement: questionnaires completed by the patient himself or the Medication Possession Ratio (MPR). Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, but none is considered as the gold standard. The Montpellier University Hospital set up a MA self-report scale ranging from 0 (low) to 10 (high adherence) in the various care units where the clinical pharmacy activity is deployed.

The purpose of this study was to assess the MA according to this numerical scale and the MPR calculation, and evaluate the correlation between these two methods.

title: Pilot Study: the Links Between Basic Auditory Processes and High Functioning Cognitive Processes in Schizophrenia (Reality Monitoring and Emotional Perception)

acronym: AUDISPACE

summary:
Schizophrenia is a mental illness with a variety of clinical symptoms that can be regrouped into 2 categories: positive and negative symptoms.

This mental illness is also characterised by cognitive alterations in various fields, including social cognition difficulties and self / non-self-discrimination difficulties.

Self and non-self-discrimination abilities have been regrouped under a function called source memory. This source memory enables a person to identify the source of an information previously encoded. In our everyday life, these processes are necessary to distinguish events generated by an external source from imagined events. It is called reality monitoring.

A number of studies have evidenced reality-monitoring alterations in patients suffering from schizophrenia. More specifically, patients would present with an externalisation bias, they would assign more imagined events to an external source. The knowledge of these deficits encourages the study of the processes involved in order to better understand the alterations, particularly including auditory processes. A recent study has shown that discrimination errors concerning certain sound characteristics (e.g. frequency) were associated to reality monitoring errors. However, the links between reality-monitoring and basic auditory processes have rarely been explored.

The dysfunction of the auditory "where" path, especially the possibility to discriminate between the intra and extra cephalic localisation of sounds, could lead to difficulties to discern between what is produced by one self and what is produced by another or the local environment.

title: Psychogenic and Neurogenic Components in Patients With Psychogenic or Neuropathic Pruritus : PRURINEURO, a Pilot Study

acronym: PRURINEURO

summary:
Scientific research on pruritus is in intensive development, with significant advances in understanding its pathophysiology. The causes of pruritus are very huge; they can be classified into different categories; we can find dermatological causes, systemic causes, neuropathic or neurological causes, psychogenic or even idiopathic causes.

The diagnosis of psychogenic pruritus is often over stated, when no cause is found; therefore, it is important to see what is really relieving from psychic so as not to over-diagnose and adopt a therapy more in line with the real problem of the patient. In daily practice, it seems to have a tendency to separate psychogenic and neurogenic etiologies in the diagnosis of neuropathic or psychogenic pruritus.

In the case of patients with psychogenic pruritus and neuropathic pruritus, no study has attempted to study the respective part of psychogenic and neurogenic components. Consequently, it would therefore be interesting to assess the areas of superposition and distinction of neuropathic and psychogenic pruritus.

The aim of this pilot study is to assess the psychogenic and neurogenic components of psychogenic pruritus and neuropathic pruritus in order to improve understanding of the mechanism and therefore their management.

The main objective of this study is to highlight the differences and the potential common characteristics between psychogenic and neuropathic pruritus in order to improve the differential diagnosis between these two pathologies.

The secondary objective of this study is to describe the psychogenic and neurogenic characteristics of psychogenic and neuropathic pruritus.

title: Study of the Association Between Tumor Microenvironment Macrophages and Treatment Response in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anal Canal

acronym: MACARAN

summary:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is a relatively rare cancer (less than 3% of digestive cancers) but its incidence has been increasing in recent decades, probably because of its association with HPV (human papillomavirus) infection. Its extension is mainly locoregional pelvic by lymphatic route, rarely metastatic. The standard treatment nowadays is radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for locally advanced tumors (T2 or more corresponding to a size of 2 cm or more, or N+): mitomycin C and 5-FU (or capecitabine). While the 5-year disease control rates are excellent in localized forms, around 80%, for locally advanced tumors, the prognosis is poorer, with only 70% progression-free survival at 3 years in patients treated with radiochemotherapy. In these patients, it seems particularly interesting to understand the mechanisms of tumor resistance to treatments, in order to increase their efficacy and to propose new therapeutic targets.

The microenvironment of solid tumors, which has been extensively studied in the last two decades, is now recognized as a major factor in tumor development and invasion. Immune cells, and more particularly macrophages, represent an essential component of the tumor microenvironment, and constitute a link between innate and adaptive responses. The presence of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and in particular M2 macrophages, with an anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor action (as opposed to M1 macrophages which are on the contrary tumoricidal and pro-inflammatory), has been studied in many cancers, such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. To our knowledge, it has not been studied in squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal.

title: Characterization of Adenosine A2A Receptor Expression and Fubnction in Hypercholesterolemic Patients

acronym: RASCAS

summary:
Hypercholesterolemia promotes chronic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Treatment with lipid-lowering drugs (statins, ezetimibe, PCSK9 inhibitors or LDL-apheresis) reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events in proportion to the absolute reduction of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). Nevertheless, a better understanding of the effects of hypercholesterolemia on the cardiovascular and immune systems could help identify all the mechanisms responsible for the excess risk of CVD in hypercholesterolemic patients and develop better prevention and treatment strategies.

Adenosine via A2A receptors (A2AR) plays a crucial role in the regulation of the cardiovascular and immune systems.

In this project, the investigators wish :

To study whether the expression and function of A2AR in PBMCs are altered in human hypercholesterolemia, using as a study model a larger cohort of patients with hypercholesterolemia of increasing level and severity: polygenic form, heterozygous genetic form and homozygous genetic form in comparison with healthy subjects with normal cholesterol levels.
To study whether A2AR expression and function in PBMCs are associated with blood levels of LDL-C and homocysteine and with the inflammatory status of patients.
To assess whether the cholesterol-lowering therapies currently used to reduce LDL-C levels and thus the risk of CVD in hypercholesterolemic patients have an impact on possible alterations of A2AR expression and function in PBMCs.

title: Prognostic Value of the Bradykinin-degradating Enzymes Activities on the Relapse Risk of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors-associated Angioedema

acronym: KIN-ACE

summary:
Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme-inhibitors-dependent angioedema (ACEi-AE) is the most frequent form of bradykinin-mediated AE, with an estimated prevalence of 0.1% to 0.7%.

These AE can be explained by the accumulation of bradykinin (BK), a peptide responsible for increase of vascular permeability: ACE inhibitors block ACE, the main inactivation pathway of the BK, thus extending its half-life.

In spite of the the stopping of the drug, systematically performed in the case of ACEi-AE, up to 50% of patients relapsed within 6 months, with maximum risk in the first month after stopping. In addition, the discontinuation of these drugs represents a loss of chance for some patients, without clearly established mastocytic (or histaminic) or bradykinic etiology.

At present there is no method to predict the risk of crisis recurrence in patients who have developed AE-IEC.

The investigators hypothesize that the risk of relapse is associated with a decrease in the activity of BK degradation enzymes (including aminopeptidase P (APP), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), and ECA) that persists at the cessation of IEC.

title: Influence of Verticalization on Bone Mineral Density and Biological Parameters of Bone Remodeling in Children With Severe Cerebral Palsy

acronym: CPABONE

summary: Low bone mineral density affects 77% of children with severe cerebral palsy (GMFCS IV & V) with an increased fracture risk of 4%. One strategy supposed to improve bone mineral density is verticalisation with static devices. Nowadays there is no time recommendation of verticalisation however high intensity verticalisation has been shown to be effective in improving bone mineral density in childrens with cerebral palsy, but difficult to apply in real life due to lack of qualified therapists, device's complexity, and severe impairment in those children. The investigators aim to compare bone mineral density and bone remodelling factors of verticalized and non verticalized childrens with severe cerebral palsy as achieved in everyday life. The investigators conduced a retrospective study comparing bone mineral density and factors who influence bone remolling in severe cerebral palsy's according to whether they are verticalized or not.

title: Impact of Intraoperative Instillation of Normothermal Saline on the Prevention of Intraoperative Hypothermia and Perioperative Morbidity of Prostatic Enucleation With Holmium Laser: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

acronym: THERMHOLEP

summary:
For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 2 types of endoscopic surgery are currently performed: transurethral prostate resection (TPR), the reference surgery, and laser prostatic enucleation (LPE). These procedures can be performed under general anesthesia, or local anesthesia, such as spinal anesthesia. The EPL or RTUP procedure requires the instillation of continuous intra-vesical fluids throughout the procedure. These 3L bags are often kept at the ambient temperature of the operating room (around 17°C): the temperature of the instilled solution is therefore much lower than the average body temperature of the patient (37°C). Thus, and by heat exchange, it often results in per and postoperative hypothermia, which is all the more frequent and profound the longer the duration of the operation.

In spite of the usual procedures of warming by heating blanket, the prevalence of hypothermia, defined as a body temperature < 36°C, is 53.5% during surgical procedures. This hypothermia is all the more frequent and profound the older the patient is and the longer the duration of anesthesia.

Several studies have shown that hypothermia is particularly frequent during abdomino-pelvic surgery, notably due to pathophysiological phenomena induced by anesthetic procedures. Indeed, general anesthesia, or major locoregional anesthesia, disrupts the thermoregulation center upon anesthetic induction, with alteration of peripheral vasoconstriction and tremor capacity, leading to a rapid redistribution of body heat from the center to the periphery. Through exchanges with the environment, this results in a rapid linear decrease in central body temperature that exceeds the metabolic energy produced.

However, anesthetic procedures are not the only cause of hypothermic intraoperative phenomena. It has been shown that the decrease in body temperature associated with most genitourinary endoscopic procedures is multifactorial, taking into account the patient's body mass, the volume of fluids instilled, and the type and duration of the operation.

title: Neurorehabilitation Through Hippotherapy on Neurofunctional Sequels of Brain Stroke: (i) Effect on Patient's Functional Independence, Sensorimotor and Cognitive Capacities and Quality of Life (ii) Effect on Caregivers' Quality of Life

acronym: HippoPostCVA

summary:
Cerebrovascular accident [CVA] (medical term for stroke) is a high burden worldwide disorder and the second leading cause of disability. As illustrated by the number of survivors that remain disabled after a CVA (2 out of 3 according to the US National Stroke Association), recovery is limited, and novel neurorehabilitation approaches are urgently needed. Hippotherapy is an emerging specialized rehabilitation approach, performed by accredited health professionals on a specially trained horse via its movement. A body of scientific evidence has gradually emerged in recent years, showing robust benefits of hippotherapy in various massive neurological disabling conditions including brain stroke.

The aim of the study is to analyze the effect of a hippotherapy program of several cycles delivered during 22 weeks in total, on the functional and global evolution of post-stroke patients (with a score of Rankin ≥ 3 at inclusion) during the outpatient rehabilitation phase. A second purpose is to measure the impact of the intervention on the quality of life of their close caregivers.

A prospective clinical trial on the effectiveness of hippotherapy versus conventional outpatient rehabilitation alone will be carried out. The 22-weeks program includes three cycles of hippotherapy as follows: an initial 2-weeks cycle, an intermediate 1-week cycle and a final 1-week cycle. One-hour daily sessions will be conducted during each cycle exclusive additional rehabilitation care. After each cycle, the patients will have a 9-weeks rest period where they will continue their conventional therapy. A battery of clinical tests will measure both functional and psychological outcome. The primary end point will be the functional independence of the patient. The secondary end points will consider the patient's sensorimotor and cognitive function, the severity of stroke and the quality of life, as well as the caregivers' burden and quality of life.

Program evaluation is important in neurorehabilitation to ensure that patients are achieving meaningful outcomes from the care. A primary question is how do stroke patients clinically evolve after being discharged from the hospital and how stable is the achieved rehabilitation outcome. Hippotherapy optimizes brain plasticity and has a strong impact on the global rehabilitation process and functional outcome of these patients. A remaining question concerns the improvement of the caregivers' quality of life.

title: History of Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

summary:
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that affects between 7% and 14% of women of childbearing age, leading to impaired fertility, clinical and biological hyperandrogenism.

Long-term complications such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease and hormone-dependent cancers make it a major public health problem.

The physiopathology of this syndrome is complicated and still poorly understood, probably multifactorial origin, resulting from the interaction between many factors (genetics, lifestyle, environment).

The environment has also an important role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome : diet, exposure to pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

There are many sources of exposure to environmental toxins and it is essential to better understand their impact on our health.

Our study aims to assess the association between exposure to endocrine disruptors and development of polycystic ovary syndrome.

The population involved in the study includes patients aged 18 to 50 years, premenopausal, consulting in the gynecology department of the university hospital of Reims.

The "cases" patients will be patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The "controls" patients will be patients without polycystic ovary syndrome. Statistical analysis will determine whether "cases" are more exposed to endocrine disruptors than "controls".

title: Evaluation of Physical Capacities Within the Company and Effect of a Personalized Versus Traditional Training Program on the Quality of Life of Sedentary Employees: Randomized Controlled Trial

summary:
The practice of a physical activity, even moderate, plays an important role in the prevention and the management of the main chronic non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis ...) as well as by improving psychological health. Several studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on the economy of companies via the reduction of absenteeism and the improvement of productivity. However, it seems important to individualize these recommendations in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity for each individual. In this project, the investigators want to test the physical qualities of employees in order to prescribe the best possible dose of physical activity with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life.

The originality of this project is to evaluate physical capacities directly within the company of the participants instead of hospital unit.

title: Thoracic Kyphosis and Osteoporosis: Study of Their Relationship With Respiratory Functions in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

acronym: CYPHOS

summary: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a condition characterized by a progressive and incompletely reversible limitation of airborne gas flow . The association of co-morbidities with COPD and acute flare-ups of respiratory failure contribute to the overall severity of this disease. The prevalence of COPD is high, affecting up to 10% of people over the age of 40 years and causing high morbidity and mortality rates. While COPD is a disease primarily affecting the lungs, it is associated with many extra-pulmonary conditions including sleep apnea, depression, anemia, chronic kidney failure, wasting, cardiovascular disease, skeletal muscle weakness and osteoporosis (OP).

title: Randomized Phase III Study of Oral Cyclophosphamide vs Doxorubicin in 65 Years or Older Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcoma: a UNICANCER/GERICO Multicenter Program

summary:
Most advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) are unfortunately incurable, making the preservation of the patient's quality of life a major goal, along with prolonging survival.

Age is not a criterion for not providing effective treatment, but the goals of treatment change with age and must be integrated into the treatment decision. Elderly patients prioritise a life free of dependency, preservation of their cognitive functions and quality of life related to their state of health. They are therefore reluctant to receive a treatment that does little to improve life expectancy at the cost of significant functional losses.

Patients aged 65 years and older account for one third of all patients with STS. In the absence of dedicated recommendations, these elderly patients are currently receiving doxorubicin-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment (as recommended for younger patients), with a substantial risk of toxicity (especially cardiac). In this specific population, previous studies have shown that oral cyclophosphamide seems to have a promising activity, but also a very acceptable toxicity.

Thus, the GERICO study aims to compare standard doxorubicin chemotherapy with oral cyclophosphamide for the treatment of elderly patients with STS.

title: Validation of DigiCog (BCCAMS App) and Konectom™ Tools, for Supporting Digitalized Clinical Assessment of Cognitive and Motor Functions in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis. DigiToms Study

acronym: DigiToms

summary:
The primary objective of this study is to establish scores of Cognitive impairment (CI) of the 3 DigiCog [Brief Computerized Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BCCAMS) app] tests [Computerized Speed Cognitive Test (CSCT), Computerized Episodic Visual Memory Test (CEVMT) and the French Learning Test (FLT), a verbal memory test similar to the CVLT], using a tablet application in a sample of healthy participants matched to persons with MS (PwMS).

The secondary objectives of this study are to determine the ability of the DigiCog app to detect cognitive impairment (CI) compared to the classical Brief International Cognitive Assessment for MS (BICAMS) in PwMS; to determine the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive performance in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sample; to determine the relationship between subjective perception of CI and cognitive performance ; to evaluate the reliability of Konectom™ digital outcome assessments (DOAs) in healthy subjects (HS) and PwMS; to evaluate the convergent validity of Konectom™ digital outcome assessments (DOAs) against in-clinic conventional disability outcome assessments in PwMS; to evaluate differences in Konectom™ DOAs [self administered at home and in-clinic] between PwMS and HS; to evaluate the variability of Konectom™ DOAs self-administered at home in free-living environment in HS and PwMS; to compare Konectom™ DOAs between in-clinic supervised administration versus self-assessments in free-living environment in HS and PwMS; to evaluate the clinical meaningfulness of Konectom™ DOAs against Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) in PwMS.

title: Evaluation of Virtual Reality to Save Morphinic in the Treatment of Vaso-occlusive Seizures of Sickle Cell Patients Consulting in the Emergency Room

acronym: ReVCVO

summary:
The management of pain in the emergency department is a major issue, especially for sickle cell patients who regularly consult for vaso-occlusive seizure (VOS). The place of virtual reality remains to be defined in a busy environment, in which the permanence of care generates a significant turn over of medical and paramedical personnel.

With Its immersive nature, allowing the patient to detach from his immediate environment, wich is often stressful for patients, we can hope that in multimodal management, Virtual Reality (VR) can contribute to a faster reduction in pain with lower doses of morphine, but so far we have no data.

Our pilot study aims to assess the effectiveness, feasibility and tolerance of adding virtual reality to the management of VOS in sickle cell patients in the ER.

title: Primary Chemotherapy by BCNU-TMZ Combination in Newly Diagnosed Anaplastic Oligodendrocytic Tumors: Phase II Trial With Translational Molecular Analysis

acronym: TEMOBIC

summary:
The first-line treatment of anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, radiotherapy exclusive or combined with PCV, will be defined by the pending results of phase III of the EORTC.

If the phase II study proposed here achieves its objective, it may help define a new treatment regimen that will be compared to the standard arm from phase III of the EORTC.

In addition, this study, by prospectively testing the predictive value of 1p and 19q deletions and of REGF amplification, may allow characterization of patients using these markers. If validated, this characterization can constitute a key element in any therapeutic evaluation (patient stratification), and potentially a major tool for medical decision support in these tumors.
