title: Development and Assessment of a New Ultrasound Score to Diagnose Swallowing Disorders in at Risk-out-patients

acronym: DARC-VADOC

summary:
Swallowing disorders management requires an accurate recognition of implicated anatomical structures and pathways. The usual clinical assessment of swallowing disorders lacks reliability and accuracy. The gold standard remains the videofluoroscopy. However, this imaging technique lacks reliability and standardisation. Moreover, videofluoroscopy is not easily available, time and material consuming and exposes patients to ionisation. Ultrasound imaging, which can be performed at the patient's bedside, is a non-invasive tool. It allows the evaluation of the main structures involved in all the swallowing pathways and may be a promising tool to assess the swallowing disorders. An ultrasound predictive model has never been developed to diagnose swallowing disorders.

The investigators aim to develop an ultrasound predictive model to diagnose swallowing disorders, and assess its reliability and accuracy.

One hundred outpatients at risk of swallowing disorders (neck cancer, neurological diseases, previous ICU stay) will be enrolled in the Dysphagia Diagnostic Unit at the Forcilles' Hospital, during a 2-year period.

All patients will undergo a clinical examination by a speech-language therapist, and a videofluoroscopy imaging in order to diagnose swallowing disorders. Then, an ultrasound examination will be performed by the ultrasonographer. The ultrasonographer will be blinded from the patient's status and previous clinical and imaging assessments. Severity of the swallowing disorder will be assessed by the Dysphagia Outcome and Severity Scale.

The tongue kinetics and thickness, the laryngeal movement and the suprahyoid muscles thickness and echogenicity will be assessed by ultrasonography.

Inter- and intra-reliability of ultrasound examination will be calculated. The threshold of each ultrasound measurement allowing the swallowing disorders will be estimated using the ROC curve analysis. Sensitivity and specificity of each ultrasound measurement will be estimated. A global ultrasound predictive model will be developed after selecting variables in logistic multivariable regression. Diagnostic accuracy of the global predictive model will also be assessed.

The investigators hope a high reliability and accuracy of the ultrasound predictive model in the swallowing disorders diagnostic. As ultrasonography is easy-to-perform, rapidly available, non-invasive and inexpensive, it may be a valuable alternative to videofluoroscopy in swallowing disorder diagnostic.

title: Assessment of the Ankle Systolic Pressure Index in Patients Over 70 Years of Age With Jaundice Ulcer

acronym: IPScheville

summary: Arteriopathy of the lower limbs (ALL) is defined by a decreased ankle perfusion pressure with a systolic pressure index (SPI) <0.9, and constitutes the most advanced situation in terms of cardiovascular prognosis with in 20 % of cases of lesions associated with the heart and / or coronary heart. The severity of ALL is linked to the risk of a cardiovascular event, hence the need for a hemodynamic evaluation which is mainly based on the measurement of SPI.

title: Post-COntrast 3D SE T1 Versus Coronal SE T1-WI MRI in Detecting Optic Neuritis in Patients Presenting With Acute Visual Loss and Otherwise Normal Ophthalmological Examination

acronym: COCON

summary: 3D FLAIR, 3D T1 FAT SAT, coronal T2 and coronal T1 dixon sequences were usually used to assess visual deficits in MRI. Optic nerve examination is preferably performed using a coronal T2 sequence in order to detect a hypersignal suggestive of inflammation whereas brain examination is preferably performed using a 3D T1 sequence to highlight signs of spatial dissemination and lesions suggestive of multiple slerosis (MS). No study has yet investigated the detection capabilities of 3D T1 for the detection of optic nerve inflammation. The objective of this retrospective study was to determine whether a single 3D T1 sequence allows simultaneous exploration of the optic nerve and the brain for the positive diagnosis of optic neuropathy and/or MS.

title: File Analysis of Falling Patients: Are Drugs Frequently Involved

acronym: ADOPAC

summary:
The damage caused by patient falls is a major public health problem, due to the large and growing number of people concerned, the potentially serious consequences but also the financial cost generated by their care.

These consequences can be physical as well as psychological. Fractures and pain are the first consequences that come to mind, but many others should be mentioned: post-fall syndrome, loss of autonomy or even entering an institution, fear of falling, loss of confidence in itself.

title: Impact of Rapid Screening for COVID-19 in Delocalized Biology in the Emergency Department

acronym: DELOCOVID

summary: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, first appeared in China, and then spread around the world. In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown origin were infected after exposure to the market in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Very quickly, a new coronavirus was isolated from a sample of a patient's lower respiratory tract and the entire virus genome was sequenced. This new coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for its genetic homology with SARS-CoV-2, has shown worldwide expansion. Thus, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the COVID-19 epidemic as a threat to public health at the international level, then, in March 2020, the global situation degenerated into a pandemic. . Johns Hopkins University has reported more than 7,600,000 cases of infections and more than 427,000 deaths as of June 13, 2020. Due to the rapid progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and the limited capacity of molecular laboratory tests, the concept of delocalized molecular tests appears to be relevant. Indeed, the urgent need to increase testing for COVID-19 has been clearly identified as an essential part of the strategy to combat the coronavirus worldwide. In fact, COVID-19 represents a major public health problem currently causing a rapidly increasing number of infections and significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. As of July 1, 2020, more than 10 million people worldwide have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. As of December 20, 2020, this tally is 76,624,363 cases of contamination and 1,690,658 deaths following Johns Hopkins University

title: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 by SERS Spectroscopy

acronym: Kaïssa Covid

summary:
SARS-CoV-2 infection was identified as responsible for several cases of pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndromes described in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. A global epidemic has spread since and the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared in March 2020 the state of a global pandemic.

As the spread of the virus accelerates, several countries are implementing containment strategies to stem the epidemic.

The context of an influx of patients and congestion in healthcare establishments requires rapid and reliable diagnostic solutions for SARS-CoV-2 infection in order to enable patients to be properly referred. These solutions will represent fundamental tools in the management of new epidemic waves, both in terms of health and economics.


title: Subcutaneous Apomorphine in the Treatment of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Cortico Basal Degeneration (APOPARKA)

acronym: APOPARKA

summary: Treatment of tauopathies such as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Cortico Basal Degeneration (CBD) remains a major challenge. These rare severe neurodegenerative extrapyramidal movement disorders share phenotypic overlap and are usually painful. Parkinson disease (PD) is a common extrapyramidal movement disorder and continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) is commonly used in advanced PD patients to alleviate motor and non-motor fluctuations. Effects of subcutaneous apomorphine were investigated especially on pain and, on quality of life in 7 patients with PSD or CBD.This is an observational "real life" surveillance-based study.The Verbal Rating Scale for Pain (VRS) was used to assess changes in pain level and the clinical global impression-improvement scale (CGI-I) was used to assess changes in patient's illness before and during six months of treatment. Detailed report of the symptoms and side effects has been recorded by home nurses throughout the study period.

title: Feasibility Study on an Immersive Virtual Reality Tool in the Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain

acronym: RIVAGE

summary:
Chronic low back pain is a major public health problem today, because of its prevalence and its socio-professional impact. Multiple drug or non-drug treatments exist but the pain chronicization mechanism makes the management of chronic low back pain patients difficult. Stress rehabilitation programs in specialized structures have been set up to try to improve the outcome of these patients. Likewise, home exercise is recommended. However, adherence to these exercises is generally poor. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of new technologies, based on the use of digital tools, in the management of pain. Thus, in patients with chronic low back pain, the attractiveness of the proposed exercise programs with new technologies, the possibility of progression in the same exercise and the possibility of customizing these exercises have been reported as being able to meet the expectations of patients. for the purpose of rehabilitation. In virtual reality, users interact in an environment simulated by a 3-dimensional computer. This technology uses multisensory resources allowing the user to feel totally immersed in the virtual environment. Virtual reality has shown a benefit in the management of pain in several indications.

In low back pain patients, pain avoidance mechanisms are put in place very early due to fear of situations or movements that may reproduce or intensify the pain. Thus, for fear of pain, individuals avoid certain movements, in particular lumbar flexion movements. This avoidance of the lumbar flexion movement actually worsens the pain phenomenon because of the musculoskeletal changes associated with it. Therefore, one of the therapeutic areas for the management of chronic low back pain would be to improve lumbar flexion capacities.

acronym: IADIABENCEIN

summary:
The imbalance of diabetes is associated with an increased risk of maternal and fetal complications. In women, it can cause abortion, hypertension, preeclampsia, and obstructed labor; in the fetus, it increases the risk of many malformations, including neurological and cardiac, fetal death in utero, intrauterine growth retardation, macrosomia, prematurity and metabolic complications.

Despite the various therapeutic tools available and used during pregnancy, maintaining blood sugar levels within this narrow range remains a challenge.

Automated Insulin Therapy (IA) Could Further Improve Outcomes With Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Increase Percentage of Time Spent on Target Between 63 and 140 mg/dL The objective of this observational study is to describe the clinical characteristics, metabolic data on MCG and maternal and/or fetal complications in women with T1D treated during pregnancy with an AI system available in France.

title: Long Term Outcomes of Cold Stored Venous Allografts in Vascular Access for Hemodialysis

acronym: RAVASC

summary:
Vascular access creation in patients with renal failure requiring long-term hemodialysis can be a challenge when there is no more autologous material or in case of infection, in a population undergoing long term dialysis with a longer life-expectancy. Many types of grafts have been used, with its advantages and drawbacks, such as prosthetic grafts (PTFE). Over the past decade, surgeons have used cold stored venous allografts as a biological conduit for hemodialysis, with the idea of avoiding most of major complications including a lower incidence of infection and steal syndrome, with patencies at least equivalent to PTFE. There is only a few data in the litterature, but many surgical teams use it when there is no autologous material or in case of infection.

The aim of the study is to give the primary patency of vascular access with this technique, and to assess its long term outcomes.

title: Impact of Closely Grouped, Iterative Exposures to Suxamethonium During Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) on the Sensitization to Neuro-Muscular Blocking Agents (NMBA) and the Development of Protective Antibodies

acronym: SismoSens

summary:
Acute per-anesthetic hypersensitivity reaction (HSA-PA) is a rapidly occurring systemic reaction following injection of a drug during anesthesia (mortality between 3 and 9%). The substances responsible for these reactions in France are Neuro-Muscular Blocking Agents (NMBA) in 60% of cases. The main mechanism mentioned is an immediate systemic hypersensitivity immune reaction (anaphylaxis). The mechanism of immunization to NMBA is not yet understood.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a long-standing therapeutic approach still widely used today, for its high efficiency, particularly in depressive syndromes resistant to antidepressants. It has an efficacy comparable (or even superior) to pharmacological treatments and improves the mortality associated with this disease. Treatment with iterative ECT sessions includes an attack phase with an average of 12 sessions over 4 weeks, with secondary spacing of sessions before switching to antidepressant treatment. These sessions are carried out in the operating room under general anesthesia, thanks to a hypnotic and a NMBA, suxamethonium, as recently recommended by the French Anesthesiology Society in 2020.

ECT therefore represent an interesting model of iterative exposure of a relatively homogeneous population to a single highly sensitizing substance, which could make it possible to study the evolution of sensitization as a function of various factors, in particular cumulative exposure, for which no data is currently available.

title: Translation and Validation of the Abbey Pain Scale in Stroke Patients

acronym: ABBEY-F

summary:
Pain is common after a stroke, affecting up to 49% of patients within 2 years of the event. They include headache, musculoskeletal pain, spasticity and central neuropathic pain. A wide range of patients have communication problems after stroke that make it difficult to assess pain. Yet there is a major impact of pain on the quality of life of these patients. Some tools have been validated to assess pain in non-communicative patients, but none are specific to stroke patients. The Algoplus scale is commonly used in intra-hospital care in France. The Abbey Pain Scale is not translated into French, and could provide a more accurate pain rating for non-communicative patients.

The objective is to validate a French version of the Abbey Pain Scale for stroke patients.

It is an observational study with longitudinal data collection. It is planned to include 120 patients from the neurology department of the Clermont-Ferrand University Hospital.

title: Evaluation of Prognostic Criteria for Observance of Continuous Positive Pressure for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

acronym: EvOPPC

summary:
Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (HAI hypopnea apnea index ≥ 15) is a common pathology, which affects 6 to 17% of the general population. The Alaska study, which involved 480,000 apneic patients newly fitted with CPAP, showed that 76.9% of patients were still under treatment for one year, 62.9% after two years, and 52.3% after three years.

All patients who recently diagnosed with OSAS in the Sleep Disorder Unit (unity de Pathologies du Sommeil et de la Vigilance, CHU d'AMIENS-PICARDIE, FRANCE) and who are requiring CPAP will be included. On the day of their hospitalization for the implementation of the CPAP therapy, patients will answer validated questionnaires to assess their level of motivation and adherence to the initiation of treatment but also to assess their knowledge and understanding of the disease and its treatment. These questionnaires will be repeated at the four-month and one-year follow-up consultations (+/- 21 days).

The aim of the study is to identify the prognostic factors of adherence to CPAP, leading to a better understanding and management of patients with sleep apnea syndrome.

title: Evaluation of the Prevalence of Critical Forms of CoVid-19 in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Disease Hospitalized for Severe Forms

acronym: CRITICoVid

summary:
A new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan Province, China in December 2019 and rapidly spread around the world. To date, the data in the literature regarding the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of severe forms of CoVid-19 in patients with chronic respiratory disease are not well known.

The hypothesis is that patients with chronic respiratory disease (COPD, asthma, bronchial dilatations, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) infected with SARS-Cov-2 will have increased dyspnea and hypoxemia leading to hospitalization for severe forms more frequently than the general population. However, they do not appear to be more at risk of developing a critical form.

This study is carried out in order to propose to estimate the prevalence of critical forms of CoVid19 among patients with chronic respiratory diseases hospitalized for severe forms.

title: Analysis of the Psychometric Properties of Kinematic Parameters of Locomotion Measured by Inertial Units. Validation in Healthy Volunteers and Stroke Patients

acronym: KAPP-IMU

summary: Stroke is the leading cause of acquired disability in adults in France, and more than 500,000 French people are currently living with the after-effects. Hemiparesis, which is a partial deficit of motor or muscular control affecting the right or left half of the body, is the most frequent motor disorder after a stroke. Currently, the management and treatment of stroke patients consists of a combination of pharmacological treatments (drugs, botulinum toxin, etc.), the fitting of devices (orthoses, etc.) and rehabilitation (physical therapy, adapted physical activity, occupational therapy, etc.). According to the French National Authority for Health, motor rehabilitation after a stroke must meet 3 criteria: early, intensive and continuous. Functional evaluations (with validated measurement scales or analysis of locomotor activities) make it possible to monitor rehabilitation and to verify that the intensity is adapted to the patient's needs. To date, technological advances have yielded numerous gait analysis devices, ranging from motion capture platforms to inertial measurement units (IMU) and the use of motion platforms with integrated sensors. Different systems embedding an IMU on the foot, for example, answer these problems of analysis of walking in real situation. The IMUs record the movements and orientation of the foot in space; the data are then processed by algorithms to recognize the walking steps and calculate the spatiotemporal locomotion parameters. Additional IMUs positioned on the body can be added to this system in order to access a more precise analysis of locomotion, in particular by calculating the movements of the various joints of the lower limb. The validation of systems integrating IMUs must be done according to a precise method widely documented by the COSMIN recommendations (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments). This project will be carried out in two stages, the first of which will evaluate the safety and psychometric properties of the spatiotemporal parameters of the IMU devices in healthy subjects. If these properties (safety, reproducibility and validity) are considered to be in conformity, the second phase will be initiated. These same parameters will be evaluated during the rehabilitation of a cohort of patients who have suffered a stroke.

summary: The Maastricht III procedure consists of performing organ donation in patients in whom cardiac arrest is consecutive to a decision to withdraw life support.This MIII procedure is not applied in France, in contrast with other industrialized countries.The proposed study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of adapting the MIII procedure in France by conducting a single-centre, prospective study. Within the population of patients admitted to the Nantes University Hospital Medical Intensive Care Unit for whom a clinical team meeting decides to withdraw life support, the investigators want to determine the delay elapsed between the life support withdrawing and the onset of spontaneous cardiac arrest, that is without any intentional procedure susceptible of precipitate the death onset. The cardiovascular state observed during this period and its duration determine the viability of the organs harvested. The invetigators also want to determine the incidence of refusal of organ donation that would be formulated by the family and/or loved ones if they had been asked to consent to an MIII procedure at the time of announcement of the clinical team's decision to withdraw life support.Anonymous data concerning the patient will be collected by using a predefined grid, completed partly by the medical team in charge of the patient and partly by a CRA from data in the patient's medical file.The study with families and/or loved ones will be conducted in the context of the CHU de NANTES Clinical Ethics Unit and according to this unit's methodology. The main working tool used by the Clinical Ethics Unit consists of interviews between its members and the various parties participating in elaboration of a decision (in this case, the virtual possibility of organ donation according to the MIII procedure).The purpose of this interview is to stimulate reflection on issues not previously considered, by introducing new elements and by using, as a tool, the principles of biomedical ethics developed by Beauchamps and Childress. This study should be able to determine which types of patients could be concerned by the Maastricht III procedure. The expected results should help to define the quantitative impact and feasibility of this procedure on organ donation and could be used to subsequently propose a larger-scale multicenter prospective study.

title: Does a BI Conducted by General Practitioners Reduce Consumption of Canabis in 15 to 25 Years Old ?

acronym: CANABIC

summary:
Background: Cannabis is the most prevalent illegal drug used in France, and consequences arising from the step of 'casual consumers'(1-10 joints/month). Side effects of cannabis are now well documented: Trauma (driving after consuming cannabis), respiratory, cardiovascular diseases and psychiatric and social problems. The general practitioner (GP) is the health professional most viewed by adolescents. Brief interventions (BI) for adult alcohol use have been shown to be efﬁcient. Some BI have been designed to inspect adolescents and consumption of cannabis have been piloted, showing their feasibility, but no test has validated them.

Aim : Does a BI conducted by general practitioners reduce consumption of canabis in 15 to 19 years old ?

Method:

Two preliminary qualitative studies (with adolescents and GP), were used to analyze the difficulties of communication around cannabis use. The Scientific Committee has analyzed the results and developed a workshop around BI, adapted to adolescents cannabis users.

CANABIC is a quantitative study to validate use of BI with cannabis users: a randomized controlled trial, clustered study, comparing an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG). The intervention is the achievement of the IB during a specific consultation. The outcome is the consumption of cannabic (Number of joints / month).

The study will be carried out in 3 french regions : Auvergne, Rhône-Alpes and Languedoc-Roussillon. 150 GPs wil be recruited and randomized in intervention group or control group (ratio 1 :1).

Each GP will inlcude 5 adolescents (i.e. a total of 750 adolescents) - . The number of adolescents needed has been calculate with hypothesis of a significant difference of 30% in consumption of cannabis between adolescents who beneficied of BI (IG) and those who do not experienced BI ( CG) A pilot study has been conducted. Cannabis use by adolescents has decreased. Their perception of cannabis has changed: they are aware of the harmful effects of their consumption. This pilot study has improve many points of the protocol.

Results:

A decrease of 30% of consumption is expected (joints per month). Perception of cannabis by adolescents will be reviewed.

Conclusions:

To validate an IB adaptated to consultation with adolscents cannabis consumer in order to provide a tool for GP in their daily practice.

title: Recovery of Exertion Ability Following COVID-19 Infection in Military Staff

acronym: CovEx

summary:
The Paris Fire Brigade staff have been particularly exposed to COVID-19 due to rescue and care activities for victims at risk in Paris area (where the virus was actively circulating). In addition, when the pandemic began in France, they had to take care of patients before procedures to protect caregivers were implemented.

The contamination of young military personnel, whose physical capacity was put into strain at work, raises the question of the consequences of COVID-19 on their physical fitness. At the time, the medium- and long-term evolution of this disease and its possible repercussions on physical fitness are unknown. Moreover, like any soldiers who have been confined, they may present at least a cardio-respiratory deconditioning (sometimes independent of the disease making it difficult to distinguish between a sequelae of the infection or rehabilitation).

Based on previous coronavirus epidemics (Sars-Cov 1 and Mers-Cov), it appears that long-term sequelae are possible even in mild forms and can result in an alteration of exertion ability.

In the current context and in the absence of national or international recommendations on the return to physical activity, the French Armed Forces Health Service has proposed a simple management plan aiming at: i) allowing mass screening for possible exercise intolerance and targeting at-risk personnel, ii) allowing individualized re-training and iii) guaranteeing that military personnel can carry out their mission without jeopardizing their health.

title: Evaluation of GEMCITEST in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer and Treated by Chemotherapy

acronym: GEMCIPANC

summary:
Pancreatic cancer has a 5-year overall survival rate around 5%. It is the 6th most common cancer in France (11 600 new annual cases in 2012) and the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in France and Europe.

Many translational research has tried to identify biomarkers in pancreatic cancer. Only the expression of hENT1 evaluated on the tumor tissue with the mouse antibody seems really relevant by providing a predictive value of the effectiveness of gemcitabine adjuvant. In a metastatic situation, there is no predictive marker of the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments.

GemciTest(TM), studied in this study, is developed by the company Acobiom. Test based on the qRT-PCR technology that allows the establishment of a molecular signature of 10 genes that showed its interest as a biomarker in 60 patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with gemcitabine. Retrospective analysis differentiated 2 patient populations:

22 patients with a "favorable" expression gene with a median survival of 14.9 months
35 patients with an "adverse" expression gene with a median survival of 5.1 months

Primary objective: To evaluate in patients with pancreatic cancer, treated with Gemcitabine alone or combined (nab-paclitaxel) or with Folfirinox, the prognostic value of the GemciTest(TM) test on overall survival and response to treatment.

To realize this study, only one 2.5 mL blood sample is taken before starting chemotherapy. The standard practice data is then saved.

100 patients will be included.

title: Biocollection in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome (P-MDS)

acronym: P-MDS

summary: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are chronic myeloid hemopathies characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis (with peripheral cytopenias) and which contrast with a marrow of normal richness. MDS is considered one of the four most common blood diseases. The incidence is estimated at 4,059 cases / year in 2012 with an average age of 78 years in men and 81 years in women (INCA report, Cancers in France in 2015). The incidence increases with lengthening of the lifespan. The main risk of MDS is transformation to acute leukemia in 30 to 40% of cases. Treatment options depend on clinical, hematologic and chromosomal abnormalities. The prognosis is considered to be at low or high risk of developing acute leukemia. This distinction will therefore have an impact on the therapeutic solution (s). MDS exhibit clinical, morphological and genetic heterogeneity. It is therefore necessary to form subgroups of patients to better understand the physiopathogenesis of this pathology. The constitution of a biocollection will make it possible to search for clinical and biological prognostic markers in order to identify patients progressing to acute myeloid leukemia.

title: Implementation of Physiotherapy on COVID-19 Patients in Intensive Care Units : a Retrospective, Multicentric, International Study

acronym: PHYSIO-COVID

summary:
Despite new charachersitics of COVID-19 patients, critical care implementation seems to be similar to those with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in intensive care units (ICU).

Regarding the initial gravity of these patients, sedation and neuromuscular blockers are usually administrated, increasing the risk to develope an ICU-acquired weakness which is directly correlated to morbi-mortality and a burden during recovery.

Respiratory symptoms are mostly related to dyspnoea and non-productive cough, with only 33% of COVID-19 patient having a bronchial hypersecretion ; consequently, chest physiotherapy is only implemented in after case-by-case evaluation.

This unprecedented situation requires to identify how physiotherapy is being implemented in COVID-19 patients in ICU.

This retrospective, multicentric study aims to identify the charactheristics of physiotherapy (type and time spent) implemented in Argentina, Belgium, Chili, France, Italy and Spain

title: Influence of Socio-aesthetic Care on the Quality of Life of Hemodialysis Patients

acronym: SocioAesthetic

summary:
The report of the Epidemiological and Information Network in Nephrology counted 44,978 hemodialysis patients in France in 2017, with more than 93% of them attending 3 sessions per week.

This multi-weekly recourse to the healthcare system in the context of substitution treatment constantly reminds patients of their disease and has a strong impact on their quality of life.

The 2011 REIN quality of life report showed that the quality of life of patients with renal failure, particularly dialysis patients, is impaired, particularly in its physical and mental components. A recent comparative study (van Sandwijk et al., 2019) comparing hemodialysis patients with hematological cancer patients under chemotherapy supports these data.

The June 2013 report of the "Etats généraux du rein", an initiative of patient associations, called for the improvement of quality of life to be made a priority and for the possibility of using supportive care and complementary non-drug techniques to be proposed.

Socio-aesthetic care, defined "as the practice of aesthetic care for people who are suffering or vulnerable", has found its place in hospitals as a complementary discipline to medical care, particularly in oncology.

We believe that in order to improve the overall quality of life of hemodialysis patients, the quality of the experience of each session must be improved. In this perspective, the repetition of socio-aesthetic care performed during dialysis sessions could contribute to the overall improvement of the quality of life.

A national survey (Saghatchian et al., 2018) on the impact of socio-aesthetic care in oncology confirms the positive perception of this care among cancer patients. Two studies carried out in hemodialysis (Bullen et al., 2018; Unal & Balci Akpinar, 2016) using complementary techniques, such as acupuncture, massage, or foot reflexology, highlight an impact on sleep, fatigue and quality of life.

The experience of implementing socio-aesthetic care in our hemodialysis unit also leads us to believe that they positively influence the perception of the session, and therefore perhaps the quality of life measured with a validated scale, the KDQOL (Kidney Disease Quality Of Life).

Our research therefore focuses on the effectiveness of social and aesthetic care during hemodialysis sessions to improve the quality of life of the hemodialysis patient.

title: Prognostic Value of the Lymphocytic Infiltrate in Colon Cancers

acronym: TIL

summary:
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in France (36,000 new cases / year) and nearly 16,000 people die each year from this disease. The lymph node involvement of the surgical specimen is today the main tool on which is based the adjuvant treatment decision after curative surgical resection. The study of new predictive factors to identify patients at risk for developing a local or metastatic recurrence is therefore a major challenge.

It is now clear that the immune system plays a role in the control of tumor's development, and it was shown that there was a correlation between the presence of a CD3+ T-lymphocyte infiltrate in colorectal cancers and patient survival. Preliminary studies suggest an important role of regulatory T-lymphocyte in the modulation of the antitumor immune response. The aim of our study is to follow a cohort of patients operated for colon cancer with curative intent to highlight the prognostic characteristics of the tumoral infiltrate by various lymphocyte populations (particularly T-lymphocytes but also B-lymphocytes and regulatory lymphocytes). It will be performed a preoperative analysis of blood circulating lymphocytes with antibodies specific for different cell populations (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56, CD16, CD19, CD2) and stage of activation (CD25, CD69, HLA-DR ) or differentiation (CD24, CD38, CD27, CD103, CD62L, CCR7, CD45RA / RO, IgD). The presence of regulatory T-lymphocytes will also be analyzed. It will be performed on tumor sample a Tissue Microarrays for immunohistochemical study to determine the presence of different lymphocyte populations. We systematically study the markers CD68 (monocytes / macrophages), CD56 (NK cells), CD20 and CD79a (B cells / plasma cells), CD3 (T cells), CD8 (cytotoxic T), CD4 (helper T) FoxP3 (regulatory T), cytotoxicity of CD8 markers (Fas ligand, perforin and granzyme) and MHC I (antigen presentation) to explore the innate and adaptive immune responses. For each section, the different zones will be analyzed (center and invasive margin and healthy tissue). The main objective of the study is the influence of the tumor infiltration rate by CD3 + T cells on disease free survival at 2-years in patients with non-metastatic colon cancer resection. The secondary objective is to search a correlation between the rate of T-lymphocytes on preoperative blood sample and on tumor sample.

title: Oral State of Patients Affected by an Oral Cancer Before and After Radiotherapy - 3-years Prospective Study

acronym: VADS

summary:
Context: the oral cancer is the 5th cancer in order of frequency for human in France. It is the country where the mortality by oral cancer is the most raised in Europe. The most frequent location concerns the oral cavity prevalency of which is one of higher in the world. The main risk factors are the tobacco and the alcohol.

The oral cancer is treated in the great majority of the cases by radiotherapy which is going to pull xerostomy, responsible for the degradation of the oral state. Furthermore, it will increase the risk of appearance of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) when the patient is carrier of buccal lesions and\or when he will have to undergo surgical acts. Consequently, the initial oral state of the patients is to be estimated so as to eliminate any source of the infection. An unfavourable initial state will increase the risk of degradation of this one and appearance of ORN. However, at present few epidemiological data are available concerning the oral state of the patients presenting an oral cancer.

Objective: the main objective of this study is to describe, before radiotherapy, the oral state of the patients presenting an oral cancer and to follow the evolution of this oral state for three years and to register the patients quality of life. The secondary objectives are to describe the distribution of risk factors of the degradation of the oral state (oral hygiene, food habits, xerostomy, consumption of tobacco and alcohol) in this population and to register the impact of the dental restorations on the radiological assessment.

Methods: this prospective epidemiological study of observation will be realized in the service of odontology of the Timone hospital (Marseille, France) in association with the services of ORL and maxillofacial surgery of Timone as well as the services of radiotherapy and medical oncology of Timone and Paoli Calmettes institute (IPC). All the toothed patients affected by an oral cancer untreated will be included, or treated surgically only, of more than 18 years old and for whom an initial dental assessment will be realized. The main assessment criteria will be the CAD index and the parodontal state.

Expected results and perspectives: This study will allow to have epidemiological data concerning patients' oral state affected by an oral cancer before and after radiotherapy. It will allow to set up a consensus of good practice.

title: Additional Benefit of Hemostatic Sealant in Preservation of Ovarian Reserve During Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy

acronym: FLOKIP

summary:
Introduction : The most common technique used for ovarian cystectomy is the stripping technique. After stripping the cyst wall, the subsequent bleeding of the ovarian stromal wound is usually controlled by bipolar coagulation or/and by suturing. However, hemostasis achieved with bipolar coagulation could result in damage to the ovarian reserve. To avoid damage to healthy ovarian tissue, hemostasis using various topical hemostatic agents has been introduced to control post- cystectomy ovarian wound bleeding. Among these, FloSeal (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deer- field, IL, USA) is a hemostatic sealant composed of a gelatin-based matrix and thrombin solution.

Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of topical hemostatic sealants and bipolar coagulation during laparoscopic ovarian benign cyst resection on ovarian reserve by comparing the rates of decrease in anti- Müllerian hormone (AMH).

Methods: A randomized prospective data collection was made on women aged 18-45 years who planned to have laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy at one of two institutions (n = 80), Montpellier University Hospital and Nimes University Hospital, France. Patients were randomly divided into two groups treated with either a topical hemostatic sealant (Floseal) or bipolar coagulation for hemostasis. Preoperative, 3-month and 6-month postoperative AMH levels were checked and the rates of decrease of AMH were compared.

title: Physical Fitness Levels in Children and Adolescents With Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (CIBD): Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Chronic Unclassified Colitis

acronym: MICI-FIT

summary:
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U), are characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Over the past 50 years, the incidence of IBD has increased globally, with the highest increase in industrialised countries. During the last 25 years, the incidence of IBD has increased dramatically among teenagers in northern France, with an increase of 126% and 156% for CD and UC, respectively.

Physical fitness is a set of attributes related to a person's ability to perform physical activities that require aerobic capacity, endurance, strength or flexibility and is determined by a combination of regular physical activity and genetically inherited ability. Physical fitness, widely recognised as an important health determinant, plays an important role in growth and development. Due to the evidence-based importance of physical fitness for young people's health status, attention should be paid to the assessment of physical fitness at these ages and whatever the health status.

At this time, there is no study on the assessment of physical fitness in IBD pediatric patient.

title: NICE BIRTH - Ambulatory Childbirth Pathway Pilot Feasibility Study

acronym: NICE BIRTH

summary:
In 2016, according to the national perinatal survey, the average length of stay in maternity hospitals in France after a vaginal delivery was 4.0 days, confirming the decrease in this length of stay compared with previous surveys, but placing France among the Western countries with the longest stay.

Several countries that have further reduced the average length of stay offer low-risk populations a return home in the first few hours after delivery.

As early as 2014, the Haute Autorité de Santé reminded us that "once low risk is defined, the length of stay in the maternity hospital is not discriminating for the safety of the mother and the newborn. The optimal length of stay would rather depend on the organization of the discharge from the maternity hospital, the medical follow-up and the subsequent support".

The studies against a very early discharge are the result of experiments that do not define low risk, and/or do not propose home support.

This pilot study aims to provide a framework for a care pathway allowing discharge from the maternity hospital from the 2nd hour and before the 24th hour following an uncomplicated delivery. Its main objective is to show that such a care pathway allows to respect the French postpartum recommendations, while answering a legitimate expectation of personalization of the care offered to women wishing to be monitored at home earlier after the delivery. It also studies the complications, tolerance, satisfaction and cost of such care.

This is a non-randomized cohort study. It studies 100 voluntary mother-newborn couples, after a delivery at the Nice University Hospital, meeting objective criteria of low risk. A daily follow-up is ensured by a liberal midwife during the first 3 days. The link between the patient, the private midwife and the maternity hospital is maintained permanently thanks to a free dedicated mobile application. This application, equipped with an alert system, is an additional guarantee of compliance with the recommendations for screening and mandatory procedures. It allows for a safer transfer of hospital care to ambulatory care, while providing personalized care tailored to the patient's expectations.

This pilot study would be the beginning of a larger study demonstrating the non-inferiority of such a care pathway compared to the most common management requiring a stay of several days in a maternity hospital.

title: Intracranial Thrombectomy and Extracranial Carotid Stenting Versus Intracranial Thrombectomy Alone In Acute Anterior Circulation Strokes With TANdem Occlusion : the Randomized Controlled TITAN Trial

acronym: TITAN

summary: Tandem occlusion is defined by an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with concomitant steno-occlusive disease of the extra cranial carotid artery and concerned about 10% of AIS patients. Whereas endovascular treatment has shown its efficiency in AIS by large vessel occlusion (LVO), to date, there is no consensus on the endovascular management of the extra cranial carotid artery in tandem occlusion. Only few of them were included in previous randomized trials who evaluated mechanical thrombectomy and were often listed in the non-inclusion criteria. Therapeutic management of this population was not specifically addressed in recent trials. Endovascular management can be complex with the need of acute stenting of the extra cranial carotid lesion along with the potential need of antithrombotic therapy initiation, the benefit and the safety of stenting of the cervical lesion in acute phase of AIS have shown encouraging results but however remains to be assessed. The TITAN (Thrombectomy In TANdem lesion) trial aims to demonstrate the superiority of the combined use of intracranial thrombectomy and extracranial carotid stenting compared to intracranial thrombectomy alone on the complete reperfusion rate in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to tandem lesion.

title: Evaluation of a New Strategy for the Preparation of Technetium Radioactive Medicaments Using an Innovative Automaton for Nuclear Medicine Examinations: Impact on the Dosimetry of Operators and on the Quality of Preparations

acronym: AUTOTEC

summary:
The radiopharmaceuticals manipulation used in nuclear medicine department is a significant source of radiation for operators.

According to Article R. 4451-13 of the Labor Code, the exposure limit for hands and skin (average dose over a surface of 1 cm²) received during twelve consecutive months can't exceed the annual dose limit 500 millisieverts (mSv).

The radiopharmaceuticals manipulation exposes operators to the risk of exceeding this limit, as has been shown in a European study.

At present, there are automatons on the market but only for radiopharmaceutical fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG).

One of the advantages of such an automaton is to reduce irradiation of operators' hands during the radiopharmaceuticals preparation. This reduction can reach 95% according to certain authors and the type of automaton.

This study therefore proposes to evaluate the effect of an original, newly designed automaton on operators' dosimetry and the labelled radiopharmaceuticals' quality.

The hypothesis emitted in this study is that the use of this automaton would allow to reduce drastically operators' hands exposure and probably also to improve the precision of the prepared syringes.

This study will be done in a paired way, require a randomization in cross-over and each of the subjects included will be its own witness.

title: Performance of Clinical and Biological Diagnostic Tests in Reference to the Recommended Tests for the Management of Fungal Peritonitis in Intensive Care

acronym: PERISCORE

summary:
Fungal peritonitis accounts for nearly 70% of invasive candidiasis in surgical resuscitation. Their mortality is high, around 38% and their morbidity also with an increase in length of stay in intensive care, invasive ventilation times and an increase in the number of surgical revisions.

Currently, diagnostic and therapeutic management is based on clinical prognostic scores, of which the "Peritonitis score" (PS) is still used as a reference. These scores are intended to best target a population eligible for probabilistic antifungal treatment pending the confirmation or not of the fungal characteristic of peritonitis by the fungal culture (Gold Standard). In case of severe peritonitis, if the PS is> or = to 3, the clinician must start a broad-spectrum antifungal treatment which will be continued if the culture of the peritoneal fluid is positive to yeast. If it is <3, it is not recommended to introduce an anti-fungal outside of very particular cases. In this situation, an anti-fungal treatment is only started if the direct examination of the peritoneal liquid made within 24 hours is positive to yeast or, failing this, to the reception of a positive culture several days later.

However, recent reviews of the "Peritonitis score" have emerged from the analysis of the "fungal peritonitis" subgroup of the AmarCand II study (underestimation in particular) , highlighting the difficulty of identifying this target population. In addition, none of these clinical scores have demonstrated superiority in guiding probabilistic antifungal therapy. Direct examination of peritoneal fluid also suffers from low sensitivity.

New diagnostic approaches using, among other things, blood markers (panfungal PCR, 1,3-Beta-D-glucan, etc.) have developed in recent years. In particular, 1,3-Beta-D-glucan has demonstrated superiority to the candida score in the early diagnosis of intra-abdominal candidiasis. [8]. His main interest lies in his strong Negative predictive value. The association of these markers is another way of working to improve their diagnostic performance. The use of these blood markers is encouraged by European and international consensus, however, their dosage in the peritoneal fluid is still under study.

One of the consequences of these diagnostic difficulties is the occurrence of inadequate prescriptions of antifungals in more than 40% of cases of fungal peritonitis in intensive care, or even more than 70% of cases in the case of any type of candidiasis. invasive.

The investigators therefore seek to study the diagnostic performance of fungal markers (BDG and PCR) increasingly realized in CHRU de Nancy in reference to the recommended tests (clinical (PS) and microbiological (ED and culture))


title: Analysis of the Endocavitary Electrical Signal and Surface Electrocardiogram to Determine Relevant Features for an Accurate Prediction of Ablation Outcome for Patients in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

acronym: ASEPAF

summary:
Background :

Despite recent progress in the management of patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF), AF remains one of the main risk factor of stroke, heart failure and cardiovascular mortality in the world. AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and its prevalence is expected to grow in the coming years.

Catheter ablation (CA) of AF can be successful in restoring and maintaining Sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with paroxysmal, and persistent AF. Haissaguerre et al. have shown that AF ablation of the heart by isolating the Pulmonary Vein is usually sufficient. However, when ablating persistent AF patients ablating pathological regions in the atria is also required. CA is still a challenging procedure, and reported success rate for persistent AF patients remains relatively low (around 60%). This procedure is associated with risks inherent to any invasive cardiac procedures.

A better identification of good responders would reduce the risks associated with ablation, especially for patients with low odds of favorable outcome, while also increasing the success rate of the procedure. It has been shown in the literature the long-term CA outcome can be predicted non-invasively by atrial fibrillatory wave (f-wave) amplitudes.

Hypothesis :

We assume that a morphological analysis of the f-waves on standard twelve ECG will allow for a better CA outcome prediction.

Objectives :

The aim of this study is to automatically analyse the morphology of the ECG signal before a CA procedure, extract relevant features for an accurate prediction of long-term CA outcome for patients in persistent AF.


title: Role of Telomere Length in Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells and Circulating/Tissue Endothelial Progenitors in the Development of Atherosclerotic Lesions: Set up of the Experimental Model

acronym: PROGENTELART

summary:
The prevailing view in telomere epidemiology is that leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) since it serves as a biomarker of the cumulative burden of inflammation and oxidative stress during adult life. However, our recent results indicate that telomere length (TL) is mainly determined before adulthood, by TL at birth and TL attrition during growth. They also demonstrate that short telomeres precede the clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis. The investigators therefore hypothesize that LT is not a simple marker, but a major determinant of arterial aging.

Two mechanistic hypotheses may explain an active role of short telomeres in accelerated arterial aging and development of ACVD.

The first is that a short TL at the leukocyte level reflects a short TL in endothelial progenitor cells (EPC). Cell replicative capacity being TL-dependent, short telomeres in the EPC would therefore be responsible for diminished replication capacity and vascular repair potential, thereby increasing the vulnerability for developing age-related arterial diseases.

The second hypothesis is that a short LTL reflects short TL in arterial wall cells, leading to an increase in the number of senescent vascular cells. Senescent cells are known to alter their secretion pattern, a phenomenon called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and thus contribute to tissue injury by promoting inflammation and tissue remodeling leading to lesion progression.

These assumptions cannot be tested by LTL measurements alone. The investigators propose, therefore, a model that makes it possible to examine different elements of TL dynamics in different tissues and cell types: leukocytes, circulating EPCs, in situ EPCs and arterial resident cells (mainly smooth muscle cells) in patients with or without atherosclerosis.

Our model is based on the following observations:

TL is synchronized (equivalent) across somatic tissues/cells of the newborn: an individual with short telomeres (relative to his pairs) in one tissue should also have short telomeres (relative to his pairs) in other tissues.
TL in EPCs (both circulating and in situ) determines the cell proliferative ability and therefore capacity for vessels repair during aging.
TL in the cells of the arterial wall determines the number of senescent cells that therefore contribute to tissue injury through their change of phenotype.

The general aim of the present project is to examine the mechanistic links between arterial aging and TL in these different cell types.

title: Nutritional and Metabolic Context in Rowers

summary:
The aim of this study was to assess the relevance of NRI or athletes' NRI (ANRI) utilization to detect nutrition-related risks of failure in competition in the particular population of rowers.

In the morning, 60 to 90 minutes before the first race of a national level multi-races competition (three races for each subjects), body weight were measured and blood samples were collected with subjects at rest and in post-absorptive condition (last meal at least 2.5 hours before blood collection). Body weight was also recorded in the same conditions six weeks before the competition to calculate weight state (actual weight /usual weight ´ 100) and subjects were asked to identify the date of diet beginning. Body weight was measured using a floor scale (Mettler-Toledo floor scale, France), body mass index (BMI) was calculated from the ratio of weight (in kg) by height squared (in meters) and training volume (total duration of training in a week) was determined after discussion with athletes and coaches.

title: Evaluation of a Nurse-led Program for the Prevention of Complications of Long-term Corticosteroid Therapy

acronym: COCORTICO

summary:
Long term corticosteroid therapy concerns 0.5 to 1% of the population and about 2.5% of elderly subjects. It is currently used as a cornerstone therapy in a wide variety of clinical contexts. The central problematic of prolonged corticosteroid therapy is the burden of adverse events associated with its long term use, including bone, metabolic and infectious complications.

The management of patients for whom the prescription of long term corticosteroid therapy is indicated should include an evaluation of the individual risk and implementation of the appropriate preventive measures. Such an approach should particularly include cortisonic osteoporosis prevention, infectious prevention including vaccination, prevention of adrenal insufficiency, promotion of physical activity, as well as dietary management.

In France, nurse-led prevention programs are highly developed for patients initiating immunosuppressive targeted therapies. Conversely, there are no dedicated nurse-led programs for patients starting prolonged corticosteroid therapy, for several historical and economical reasons.

The implementation of such programs is likely to be beneficial at different levels, including the reduction of the number of adverse events and improvement of health-related quality of life.

The main objective of the study is to determine the long-term benefit of a nurse-led prevention program among patients starting long-term corticosteroids therapy, compared to routine care.

title: Voice Feminisation in Transgender Women

acronym: FemVoc

summary:
The voice is a reflection of our identity. In the case of transgender women, there may be a gap between perceived male voice and female appearance. Indeed, hormonal treatment in transgender women has no effect on the voice quality. This gap can have negative consequences on everyday life in banal situations such as telephonic contact leading to limited use of phone calls and social isolation.

Differences between female and male voices seem to be socially determined and do not depend directly on sexual dimorphism of the phonatory organs.

Speech therapy might thus be indicated as a vocal support for transgender women.

Only few studies have examined the impact of perceived voice on the quality of life of transgender women.

title: Adjunction of Daptomycin for the Treatment of Pneumococcal Meningitis: AddaMAP Study

acronym: AddaMAP

summary:
Pneumococcal meningitis is an infection of the membrane that covers the brain. It is a serious infection which is currently treated with a combination of corticosteroids (dexamethasone) and 3rd generation cephalosporins. Nevertheless, complications associated with meningitis are relatively frequent and severe. Recent animal studies have shown that another antibiotic, daptomycin, can reduce the mortality and long-term effects of pneumococcal meningitis. Daptomycin is widely used worldwide in humans for other diseases, with few side effects.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of daptomycin on the proliferation of the bacterial infection, and therefore on inflammation. Daptomycin will be added to the currently recommended treatment with the same dosage used for other diseases.

Roughly 130 patients with suspected pneumococcal meningitis admitted to the emergency departments of hospitals throughout France will be asked to participate in this study.

The participation period will last approximately 3 months.

title: Multicenter Study of Blood Biomarkers of Mitochondrial and Peroxisomal Metabolism to Differentiate Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease From Related Conditions

acronym: BiomarPark

summary:
With the aging of the population due to an increase in longevity, the number of people with Parkinson's disease is increasing (166,712 in France, as of December 31, 2015) and the number of patients with motor or cognitive-behavioral disorders is already a major public health challenge (1). In neurodegenerative diseases, the current strategy is to identify the disease early and, if possible, to consider therapeutic measures to slow down the progression of the disease.

Classically, when faced with the early stages of Parkinsonism, the investigators differentiate idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) from atypical Parkinsonian syndromes (AP), which include multiple system atrophy (MSA), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), for which the prognoses are more severe and the therapies less effective. In the early stage of the disease, when the symptoms are not do no yet differentiate the diseases, the differential diagnosis between IPD and PSP is a real challenge for clinicians (2). Cerebral MRI can help in the diagnosis but is most often only an indicator, as it may be normal in the early stages of the disease (2). The recent emergence of targeted therapies, specific to tauopathies or synucleinopathies, makes it essential to establish a diagnosis as early as possible in order to curb the evolution of the disease (3).

The investigators propose here a first study on the analysis of biomarkers of neurodegeneration from lipid metabolism allowing to discriminate IPD and AP from peripheral blood. Two recent studies have provided evidence of the discriminatory character of neurofilament blood testing in the early phases of parkinsonism (4,5). On the other hand, to our knowledge, none of them has studied markers from mitochondrial and peroxisomal metabolism, which could play a key role in the pathophysiology of these diseases (6,7,8,9,10).

Our strategy will therefore be to study idiopathic or atypical Parkinsonism subjects with a clearly established diagnosis in a cross-sectional manner, and to identify one or more blood markers of neurodegeneration predictive of IPD or AP, hypothesizing that these markers will be at significantly different levels between the two groups (descriptive analysis). The markers studied will include markers of neurodegeneration, markers of mitochondrial function, peroxisomal function and oxidative stress. The investigators will then study the correlations between these biomarkers and motor scores of disease severity.

title: Per Operative Fluid Optimisation Comparison of an Automated Closed-Loop System Versus Current Practice in High Risk Abdominal Surgical Patient. A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial.

acronym: CL vs CP

summary: Dynamic parameters like pulse pressure variation have been shown to be accurate predictors of fluid responsiveness. Hemodynamic optimization based on fluid management and stroke volume optimization have been shown to improve patient outcomes, especially for moderate and high risk abdominal surgical patients. A novel closed-loop fluid administration system based on multi-parameter hemodynamic monitoring have been described recently. This prospective, randomized, surgeon and patient blinded study aims at comparing the cardiac output provided by either this closed-loop system or the anesthesiologist team in high-rish surgical patient elected for abdominal surgery at Pierre Bénite University Hospital, Hospices Civils of Lyon, France. Primary endpoint is the mean indexed cardiac output during surgery per group. We will also compare hemodynamic parameter (cardiac output, stroke volume, blood pressure heart rate…) and patient's outcomes (morbidity, mortality, transfusion rate, hospital length of stay) between groups

title: Effect of Eligible Patients Paper-based Reminder for General Practitioners on Colorectal Cancer Screening Participation

summary: Screening for ColoRectal Cancer (CRC) is widely recommended because of compelling evidence that it reduces mortality from CRC and that it's cost-effective. In France, there is a national CRC screening programme inviting people aged 50-74 years by mail to consult their General Practitioner (GP) for a free on charge Faecal Occult Blood test deliverance every two years. Participation is a key factor for the screening programs success. High levels of screening uptake and the continued participation to regular screening must be achieved and maintained in the targeted population if the enormous potential of CRC screening is to be realised. Screening rates of various international programs vary widely (20-52%) and the participation is insufficient in the most settings. Therefore, a better understanding of facilitating and hindering factors of patient participation can guide interventions to improve CRC screening rates. They include patients and physicians' factors. One issue is about GPs practice. GP involvement has been shown to improve the participation in the CRC screening. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an intervention targeting GPs to increase patient participation in the CRC screening. Volunteer GPs will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or to usual care (control group) and they will be followed one year. The intervention consists in providing every four months to the experimental group a list of their patients who are eligible but did not proceed yet to the screening. In both groups, patient participation in the screening will be measured at the end of the study.

summary: Every year in France, more than 60 000 people are operated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This surgery is accompanied by a change or even a loss of ejaculations externalized what constitutes the main constraint for patients. Empirically, the investigators talk to the patient "retrograde ejaculation" to explain a possible loss of ejaculation. Yet the underlying mechanism of this modification or loss of ejaculation remains completely unknown. Yet the underlying mechanism of this modification or loss of ejaculation remains completely unknown. No study could not determine whether the predominant mechanism was a real retrograde ejaculation or aspermia. Moreover, technical changes are sometimes tempted to preserve antegrade ejaculation but no scientific rationale can not validate.
