title: Analysis of Respiration-induced Deformities of the Visceral and Renal Arteries Before and After Stenting for a Endovascular Aortic Repair Procedure Using a Fenestrated Prothesis

summary: Fenestrated stents are used for the management of complex juxta-renal, para-renal or thoracoabdominal aneurysms in patients with high surgical risk and/or contraindicated for open surgery. These endovascular techniques have demonstrated their safety and efficacy, however, long-term follow-up CT scans remain essential for the detection of complications such as endo-leaks and restenosis/thrombosis of visceral and renal stents. The respiratory cycle might induce changes in the geometry and deformations of visceral and renal stents after complex aortic procedures. These could be detected by an adapted CT scan analysis by deep inhalation and deep exhalation acquisition carried out pre-operatively and post-operatively for monitoring of these same stents and screening for complications.

title: Assessment of the Psychological Impact of the COVID19 (SARS-CoV-2) Pandemic on Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Rheumatism According to a Management Strategy in the Rheumatology Department of Limoges University Hospital

summary:
Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC) or autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis, are regularly monitored in consultation as part of a "treat to target" strategy with rapid adaptation of treatments to the activity of their disease. according to French recommendations.

They are treated with immunosuppressive drugs: disease-modifying treatments with very often methotrexate, associated with biotherapies or targeted therapies (JAK inhibitors) They can also be treated transiently or over the long term with corticosteroids. These treatments expose them to greater infectious risks, especially with regard to COVID19.

The objective is on the one hand to assess the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on general state of health of these patients and the evolution of their disease and on the other hand to prioritize the optimal care of these patients by including in the context of maintaining the pandemic reduction rules, modern telemedicine technologies.

title: Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin A in the Treatment of Bruxism-related Symptomatology

acronym: Botox

summary:
Bruxism is defined as a parafunction that consists of a clenching of the jaw and/or grinding of the teeth. It can occur when an individual is sleeping or awake or it can be mixed.

Most often, it is primary or idiopathic bruxism, however when it is related to a cause it is qualified as secondary.

Primary bruxism is a condition that is not well known to the general public, but I is very widespread (12% of the adult population). In addition, it can alter quality of life, as a result of associated sleep disorders, concentration disorders, daytime fatigue, chronic pain, etc.

The current treatment for this condition is only symptomatic. Currently, one of the most effective treatments is the intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin A in the muscles of mastication. The progressive anticholinergic action results in a reduction of functional signs (dental pain, periodontal pain, temporomandibular joint pain, tension headaches, neck pain) and physical signs (reduction of the mass of the injected muscles, alba linea, tongue scalloping, limitation or stability of dental damage).

However, these clinical data are practically not objectified in daily practice. Objective criteria would make it possible to measure the effectiveness of the treatment, to follow the patient, and to identify the early symptoms in order to prevent a recurrence.

The aim of the prospective study is to concretely measure the strength and electromyographic activity of the muscles of mastication before and after botulinum toxin injection.

title: Exploring the Use of the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance Approach (CO-OP) With Children With Executive Functions Deficits Following Severe Acquired Brain Injury: a Single Case Experimental Design Study

summary:
Purpose:

Acquired brain injury (ABI) in childhood are the cause of disabling motor, cognitive and behavioural disorders, with severe consequences on the later development of autonomy and learning, with long-term repercussions on independence for activities of daily living, and social and professional integration. Among cognitive disorders, executive function (EF) deficits are among the most frequent and disabling, with major consequences on the development of autonomy and the course of schooling and learning. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) could be an interesting approach for the rehabilitation of these consequences. CO-OP is a performance-based treatment approach for children and adults who experience difficulties performing the skills they want to, need to or are expected to perform. CO-OP is a specifically tailored, active client-centered approach that engages the individual at the meta-cognitive level to solve performance problems. Focused on enabling success, the CO-OP approach employs collaborative goal setting, dynamic performance analysis, cognitive strategy use, guided discovery, and enabling principles. It has been shown to be effective in a variety of populations, but has been little explored in children with ABI.

Objectives To assess whether the use of CO-OP could be of interest in children with executive functions deficits following ABI, to improve their occupational performance, their executive functioning in everyday life and their cognitive processes constituting EF.

title: Assessment of the Reasons for Accepting or Refusing Early Palliative Care by the Patients Included in an Early Phase Clinical Trial

summary:
This is a prospective, multicentre study, considered as " non-RIPH ("Recherche n'Impliquant pas la Personne Humaine - Research that does not involve humans ". Indeed, the patient's participation in the study and the completion of the various questionnaires has no impact on patient's safety and is not likely to change patients' management. Patients accepting to take part to an early phase trial will be proposed to participate in the PALPHA-1 trial. They can accept or refuse to have palliative supportive care.

The main objective of this study is to assess the reasons for accepting and refusing early palliative care in patients included in an early phase clinical trial. The secondary objectives will enable to describe and analyze the number (effective) and the rate (%) of acceptance and/or refusal of early palliative support, to assess patients' understanding and perception of the " combined " management by comparing the semantic content of the patient-investigator ecological interaction during the proposal for inclusion in the trial (i.e. what was explicitly said), with that of the semi-structured post-consultation inclusion interviews ( ie what the patients understood, perceived), to compare the quality of life and the anxiety-depression of patients according to their acceptance or refusal of the mixed care at the inclusion and at the end of the early phase trial, to compare the clinical, medical and socio-demographic characteristics of the patients, the overall survival of patients according to their acceptance or refusal of the combined management and finally for the patients accepting the Palliative Care Management (PCM), to describe throughout the study, the patients' compliance to palliative supportive care undertaken.

summary: the investigators have recently shown that patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy who have undergone brain surgery targeting the medial temporal lobe structures were more likely to develop tinnitus postoperatively. This discovery of a vulnerability to tinnitus associated with medial temporal lobe surgery to eliminate drug-refractory epileptic seizures provides a new clinical model of tinnitus, targeting temporal lobe regions as generators or mediators of this hearing disorder. The objective of this project is to study the impact of tinnitus on the cognitive, emotional, psychoacoustic and cerebral functioning associated with this hearing disorder, and to clarify the pathophysiology of tinnitus by comparing different groups of individuals with tinnitus (surgical epileptic patients or non-surgical ORL patients) to matched tinnitus-free groups (surgical tinnitus-free cases and healthy controls volunteer).

title: Thymic Function in Patients With COVID-19

acronym: COVITHYM

summary:
The main clinical manifestation associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is an influenza-like illness that follows the infection of the respiratory tract. In a few percent of infected people, inflammation of the lungs leads to severe pneumonia that requires hospitalization, in intensive care units for the more severe cases. Despite intensive care, a fatal outcome occurs in 6% and 12% of women and men over 80 years of age hospitalized for severe COVID, respectively.

Factors associated with a higher risk of death in patients with SARS-CoV-2 include age and low circulating lymphocyte counts. Significant lymphopenia is indeed frequently observed in patients with severe COVID-19 and both phenotypic and functional changes in antiviral T cells have been correlated with the severity of COVID-19.

The thymus, the organ that produces T lymphocytes, undergoes progressive physiological involution with age. However, in the elderly, rare cases of thymic hyperplasia are reported in autoimmune diseases or cancers, or are observed in response to deep lymphopenia, whether or not associated with sepsis.

This cohort of patients treated for a SARS-CoV-2 infection could allow to better understand the role of the thymus in this pathology.

summary: Prolonged mechanical ventilation has been shown to induce diaphragm dysfunction. Temporary diaphragm pacing is an interesting lead to halt or slow diaphragm dysfunction. A detailed description of the distal portion of the phrenic nerve would be the start for developing a new surgical approach for diaphragm pacing. Its in that perspective that we are launching a clinical observational study of the distal portion of the phrenic nerve in patients who undergo minimally invasive thoracic surgey. We hypothetize that the density of the fatty tissue surrounding the distal portion of the phrenic nerve might influence efficiency of the electrode during diaphragm pacing. The objective of this study is to find a correlation between the amount of fatty tissue around the nerve and the body mass index of individuals.

title: Impact of Ionizing Treatment on the Nuclear Structure of Human Spermatozoa.

summary:
Differentiated thyroid cancer is the third cause of cancer in young men of childbearing age. Its treatment by irradiation with Radioactive Iodine 131 therapy (RAT) could alter spermatogenesis and result in azoospermia and permanent infertility. A preventive gametes cryopreservation was recommended before RAT, but without mentioning a period of teratogenic risk transmissible to the offspring. To date, RAT impact on human sperm nucleus is poorly known or even unknown, notably on telomere length.

Our objective is to define RAT effects on human sperm nucleus by in vitro irradiation exposure of human spermatozoa to mimicking that of the gonads in the context of irradiation with iodine131 used for thyroid cancer. We will analyze standard sperm parameters, major DNA alterations and telomere length using molecular and cellular assays. Nucleus morphology and chromatin organization will also be analyzed using 3D bio-imaging. This study will permit to optimize the indications for the preservation of fertility.

title: Staphylococcus Aureus in Atopic Dermatitis Immunopathology

acronym: STADE

summary:
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a frequent inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurrent eczema. It associates genetic/epigenetic-induced alterations of epidermal barrier and type-2 inflammation/hypersensitivity, which may be triggered by different antigens that pass through the altered skin (Czarnowicki T et al. JACI 2019). Some studies have reported that environmental pathogens such as house dust mites are able to induce type-2 inflammation through particular activation of innate immunity (Werfel et al. JACI 2016).

Multiple staphylococcal strains are commonly found on the skin of AD patients. Interestingly, recent findings suggest that S. aureus may be a key factor of AD inflammation: (i) 90% of AD patients have S. aureus skin colonization on lesional skin (Geoghegan et al., 2018), (ii) AD patients with S. aureus skin colonization have more increased type-2 inflammatory markers in comparison with AD patients without SA skin colonization (Simpson et al., 2018), (iii) skin colonization by monoclonal S. aureus strains correlate with severe flares (Byrd AL et al. Sci Transl Med 2017) and (iv) S. aureus is detected in both epidermis and dermis during AD flares; In this study, our hypothesis is that S. aureus induces AD flares through a type 2 T cell-mediated hypersensitivity against S. aureus, involving innate and adaptive responses. Conversely, S. epidermidis, a commensal strain, has a protective effect against S. aureus dysbiosis. To this end, we will characterize, in the skin and the blood, the immune response induced by cutaneous application of : i) S. aureus isolated from patients with moderate-to-severe AD which will mimic the cutaneous dysbiosis occurring in the natural course of AD; ii) S. aureus toxins without bacteria to evaluate the skin response against those particular proteins; iii) a laboratory strain of S. epidermidis, a common well-tolerated skin commensal bacteria; iv) a mix of S. aureus and S. epidermidis to evaluate the regulatory effect of S. epidermidis on the S. aureus-induced AD inflammation.

Importantly, this characterization will be led in AD patients (with alterations of skin barrier), compared to healthy volunteers (without alterations of skin barrier), as controls.

source: euctr

summary:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) viral pneumonia is now a worldwide pandemic caused by the Severe acute respiratory virus coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The number of cases, and associated mortality has increased dramatically since the first cases in Wuhan, China in December 2019 . To date, no specific treatment has been proven to be effective for COVID-19. Treatment is currently mainly supportive, with in particular mechanical ventilation for the critically ill patients (6.1% in a series of 1099 cases in China). Novel therapeutic approaches are in acute need. In this context, the therapeutic potential associated with convalescent plasma needs to be explored.

The objective of COVIPLASM trial (a nested trial in the CORIMUNO-19 COHORT) is to study the efficacy of convalescent plasma to treat SARS-COV2 infected patients.

summary:
The main manifestation of COVID-19 is acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In patients with AHRF, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with high mortality.

Two hypotheses will be tested in this study. The first hypothesis is the benefit of corticosteroid therapy on severe COVID-19 infection admitted in ICU in terms of survival.

The second hypothesis is that, in the subset of patients free of mechanical ventilation at admission, either Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) allows to reduce intubation rate safely during COVID-19 related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.


title: Assessment of Skin Manifestations Occuring During Covid-19 Infection With a Special Focus on Chilbains

acronym: ChilblainCOVID

summary: Some patients infected by covid-19 develop skin manifestations. These manifestations are still not well known and there pathophysiology remain unclear. Among them, acral manifestation resembling to chilblains appears frequent and quite specific. The aim of this project is to better characterize the cutaneous manifestations occurring during Covid-19 infection with a special focus on chilblains. These acral manifestation could be due to a direct viral effect, but also to microthrombosis or vascularitis. Understanding the pathomechanisms involved could provide interesting clue for understanding not only the skin manifestations but also some of the other systemic symptoms associated to covid-19 infection. This study plan to characterize these acral manifestations by analyzing the clinical and dermoscopic patterns and to correlate them with the non-invasive vascular explorations but also immune and coagulopathy explorations that are done in the CHU of Nice in covid-19 patients.

It also pursues the objective, of obtaining a better aesthetic result, by systematically coupling at least one lipo-modelling session.

For a long time, patients with a history of mastectomy and radiotherapy benefited from secondary breast flap reconstruction, in order to reduce the risk of complications and achieve a satisfying aesthetic outcome. But the lipo-filling technique allowed to reconsider the management of these patients.

The benefits of fat tissue transplants are know to improve tissue trophicity (flexibility, thickness, vascularization).

The objective of this study, is to evaluate the feasibility of secondary breast reconstructions by prepectoral positioned implant after lipo-preparation of the wall.

title: Role of the Environment and Endocrine Disruptors in Child Cryptorchidism

acronym: CRYPTENV

summary: Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital defect of the male newborn. It requires surgery in childhood, increases the risk of fertility disorders and cancer. As a major public health objective, it's the subject of numerous recommendations. Its frequency is increasing in some countries faster than a single genetic cause could not explain it. It may occurs in a geographic cluster. The cause of cryptorchidism involves genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. Animal studies suggest that endocrine disruptors interfere with fetal testicular migration. The aim of the study is to find out if some environmental exposition may be associated with cryptorchidism.

title: Intra- and Inter-evaluator Reproducibility of Upper Limb Strength Measures With Handheld Dynamometer, in Patients With COPD

acronym: FORMES

summary:
According to the recommendations of French and international learned societies, respiratory rehabilitation is part of the care of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Indeed, scientific work carried out for more than 10 years on the respiratory rehabilitation of patients suffering from COPD shows that respiratory rehabilitation allows a reduction of the handicap caused by the disease and an improvement in the quality of life of the patients.

A respiratory rehabilitation program (PRR) includes: individual exercise re-training, therapeutic education, respiratory physiotherapy, help with smoking cessation and nutritional and psychosocial care. Exercise retraining includes training the muscles of the lower limbs in endurance and strength combined with training the muscles of the upper limbs. Strengthening the upper limbs helps reduce dyspnea in patients with COPD. In order to determine a precise muscle building protocol, it is necessary to assess at the start of the program the maximum voluntary strength (FMV) of the different muscle groups of the upper limbs. Measuring FMV quantifies a possible frequent strength deficit in patients with COPD and the effects of the strengthening program. Currently, tests to assess FMV using isokinetic dynamometers are used as a benchmark. However, this material is little used in current practice. Portable dynamometers are used to perform simple tests and to obtain muscle strength measurements. However, the reliability of the maximum voluntary force measurements of the different muscle groups of the upper limb has not been evaluated. Studies seem necessary to determine the reproducibility of the measurement in intra and inter-examiner (Schrama 2014) and to assess its sensitivity to change during a respiratory rehabilitation program. The objectives of this study are to study the reproducibility, validity and sensitivity to change of the measurement of FMV using a portable dynamometer.

title: Evaluation of Ethical Implication of a Training Model Necessary to Gain Access to a Surgical Innovation Device.

summary:
The surgical device used to perform PIPAC procedure is commercialized by a single manufacturer under a monopoly regimen, and a formal training (economically supported by the manufacturer) is mandatory for surgeons who want to buy the device.Relations with the company and solutions to extend training require specific analysis from an ethical point of view.
Based on the growing number of published papers from a growing number of international centers, the controlled training model is not limiting, and it is a successful model of development of this breakthrough innovation.
But with the major involvement of the industry and the control of training, the different levels of interest could induce ethical questions.

title: Effectiveness of Adapted Physical Activity Education on Physical Activity Daily in Patients With Parkinson's Disease at an Early Stage

acronym: ACTIF-PARK

summary:
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorders characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. Actual medical treatments are symptomatic and have little efficacy on late stage axial motor symptoms. Non-pharmacological approaches are therefore essential from the disease onset.

Beside physiotherapy, to practice a regular adapted physical activity is crucial. To implement such a practice in everyday life implies to change habits. Patient Education programs are useful tools to help changing behaviors.

The study evaluate the effect of a program aiming to promote adapted physical activity in early stage Parkinson's disease by comparing patients receiving the program and patients on a waiting list. The hypothesis that the program will increase the one-week mean daily moderate to intense physical activity as measured with an actimeter.

summary:
Herpes Simplex Virus encephalitis is the most common infectious encephalitis, with an estimated annual incidence of 1 / 250,000 to 1 / 500,000 in industrialized countries. Despite a widely used antiviral treatment, the prognosis remains poor with a mortality of 5 to 20% and a considerable morbidity rate.

One of the contributing factors of bad prognosis is the development of encephalitis mediated by autoantibodies, most often directed against NMDA receptors, in the weeks following viral encephalitis.

The description of this pathology is recent, the pathophysiology of this process remains poorly understood, and the management of these patients is not yet codified.

title: Effect of Impact of PCSK9 Inhibitors on Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Proved by Myocardial Ischemia and Needing Coronarography : a Monocentric, Prospective, Randomized and Open-label Phase II Trial

acronym: MICROPROTECT

summary: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor monoclonal antibodies (anti-PCSK9) significantly reduce the serum LDL-C level, leading to a regression of the coronary epicardial plaque demonstrated by intracoronary ultrasonography (IVUS), as well as cardiovascular events (CV) in patients with atherosclerotic CV disease treated with statin. The impact of PCSK9 inhibition on coronary microcirculation has never been assessed. However, microvascular coronary dysfunction (CMVD) is a powerful prognostic marker, irrespective of conventional CV risk factors, but also of the severity of the epicardial coronary involvement detected during coronary angiography. The investigators hypothesized that anti-PCSK9 would decrease CMVD, measured by the microcirculatory resistance index (MRI) during coronary angioplasty (Percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI) in patients with myocardial ischemia proved in myocardial scintigraphy.

title: Elderly Patients With Renal Insufficiency: Reasons for Using the Geriatrician, Modalities and Results of the Geriatric Evaluation, Becoming at One Year

acronym: NephroG

summary:
The incidence and prevalence of kidney failure increases with age. Elderly people with chronic kidney disease may have factors of fragility (loss of independence, comorbidities, geriatric syndromes) that can complicate the choice and implementation of the nephrological therapeutic project. Joint and early assessment of these patients by a nephrologist and a geriatrician could help to optimize the definition of care objectives and patient pathway.

There is little data on how nephrologists and geriatricians cooperate and on the description of frailties in elderly patients with renal impairment.

In this context, the objective of this study is to describe in a French university hospital the reasons for the use of geriatricians by nephrologists, the modalities of geriatric evaluation and the socio-demographic and medical characteristics (including geriatric syndromes) of very elderly patients with renal insufficiency, and then to become so at one year.

Year of implementation of this research: 2019 based on data from 2017 and 2019. Approximate number of people likely to be included in the research: 100 patients

title: Evaluation of Quickly Diagnostic Saliva Tests for SARS-CoV-2

acronym: EasyCoV

summary:
Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is a highly contagious infectious disease. Symptoms of the disease are non-specific (fever, cough, dyspnea and fatigue), common with many seasonal viruses, which complicates the diagnosis. For mild forms, which represent the vast majority of cases, hospitalization is not necessary and treatment is symptomatic. However in more severe cases, hospitalization is required and sometimes even admission to an intensive care unit.

Several diagnostic tests are already available, but they require, in all cases, the intervention of qualified health personnel to carry out the sample, which includes a risk of contagion and an expensive and time-consuming laboratory analysis and reagents. These tests are therefore not very suitable for massive screenings.

We want to evaluate the performance of a detection test performed on a salivary sample in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. This test will be non-invasive, performed without any analytical device and will restore its qualitative result "infected versus non-infected" in less than 1 hour (30min objective).

title: Evaluation of Two Procedures of Incubator's Decontamination in a NICU

acronym: DECONTA

summary:
Nosocomial infections are responsible for morbidity and mortality in hospitalized neonates. The environment of the neonates and especially the incubators can constitute the reservoir of pathogenic bacteria. That is why decontamination of incubators is a major step in the fight against nosocomial infections in NICUs.

The hypothesize is that the usual procedure of decontamination, based on antiseptic molecules, is not sufficient to eradicate all pathogenic bacteria from the incubators.

In this study the investigator's aim to assess the efficacy of the usual procedure of decontamination and to compare it with another procedure based on steam pulverization. Another objective will be to explore a possible contamination of the hands of the healthcare workers, that can be involved in the cycle of transmission of bacteria to neonates. Finally, clinical data about the neonates housed in the incubator will be retrieved from clinical reports, to identify the occurrence of sepsis and if so, to compare the bacteria involved in the sepsis and the bacteria present in the incubator.


title: Impact of Previous Treatment With Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Patients With SARS-Cov2 Infection Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit on Survival and Severity of the Disease (COVID-ARA2)

summary:
The actual pandemic infection related to SARS-CoV2 results in viral pneumonitis (COVID-19), that may, in the more severe cases, lead the patients to the intensive care unit (ICU). The more frequent presentation is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

To penetrate cells, SARS-CoV2 uses Angioconvertase type 2 (ACE2) as a cellular entry receptor.

ACE2 belong to the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (SRAA), and ACE2 levels are directly modified when SRAA inhibitors are administred to patients, and ACE2 level increases particularely with Angiotensin II Receptor blockers (ARA2) use.

The aim of our study is to determine ACE2 level and activity in patients with SARSCoV2 infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

COVID ARA2 is a propsective cohort of patient with blood sampling at the day of admission, day 3 and day 7.

summary:
The aim of the study is to demonstrate overactivation of Renin Angiotensine System (RAS) in positives COVID-19 patient, especially in those with the most serious clinical forms where the mortality of patients in intensive care is on average 50%.

We are expecting two groups: a group of 25 positive COVID 19 patients in intensive care and a group of 25 positive COVID 19 hospitalized patients in conventional hospitalisation. We will measure RAS, serum potassium and collect data on the treatment of these patients (especially antihypertensive therapy) one week apart (at the patient'entry into hospital and 7 days later).

This is a preliminary study that could possibly allow the start of a therapeutic trial in order to test the effectiveness of RAS blocker treatments in this condition.

title: Melatonin for Prevention of Postoperative Delirium After Lower Limb Fracture Surgery in Elderly Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

acronym: DELIRLESS

summary:
Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most frequent complications after surgery in elderly patients, affecting between 20 and 40% of patients older than 60 after major surgery. This complication has huge consequences for the patients, families and society: increase of morbidity and mortality, prolonged length of stay, cognitive and functional decline leading to loss of autonomy, and important additional healthcare costs.

Among numerous risk factors identified, perioperative inflammatory stress is a key element in delirium genesis: surgical trauma releases danger signals in systemic circulation, activating immune cells and leading to neuroinflammation.

Melatonin is a neurohormone regulating circadian rhythm. But it also exhibits antioxidant and free radical scavenger properties, and regulates energy metabolism and immune function. It has already demonstrated a neuroprotective potential in various animal models. Its use against delirium is promising: it decreases delirium incidence in elderly patients hospitalized in medical ward, and several studies are now recruiting in ICU.

The hypothesis of the trial is that in a high-risk population, perioperative melatonin can reduce the incidence of POD.

The main objective is to evaluate the effect of perioperative melatonin administration on postoperative delirium incidence in the first 10 days after surgery, in elderly patients (over 70 years old) being hospitalized and scheduled for acute surgery of fractured lower limb (from femoral head to tibial plateau).

This is a prospective, national multicentric (24 centers), phase III, superiority, comparative randomized (1:1) double-blinded clinical trial with two parallel arms:

Experimental group: melatonin 4mg per os every night, starting the evening before surgery (or 2 hours before emergency surgery) and until day 5 after surgery.

Control group: placebo of this drug with the same schedule, during the same period of time.

The patients are aged 70 or older, hospitalized and scheduled for surgery of a severe fracture of a lower limb (from femoral head to tibial plateau).

acronym: Es-Alert

summary:
Spinal cord injuries and people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Infant Spinal Muscular Atrophy (ISA) are prone to pain and pressure sores associated with prolonged sitting. For this reason, it is recommended that people with spinal cord injuries release pressure every 15 to 30 minutes and motorized wheelchair users use the electric positioning functions at least 1 minute every hour.

The aim is to prevent and/or reduce pain and pressure sores. These devices could help to observe daily the variability of users' pressure maps, their impact on occupational performance, the link with pain and redness and could propose customized adjustments.

title: 1- Year Follow-up After TAVR Performed Without Systematic Intensive Care Unit Admission

acronym: TAVICU

summary:
Since the first case described in 2002, TAVI (transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) revolutionized the management of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Initially reserved for patients with prohibitive surgical risk, transfemoral TAVI in now indicated according to European Guidelines for patients at intermediate surgical risk and those > 75 ans. Post-procedure intensive care admission (ICU), initially considered as the rule regarding the risk of complications, (particularly conductive disorders), may be avoided in 1/3 of patients regarding drastic reduction in serious complications and growing experience of operators as the investigator shown in a previous prospective study. Predictive criteria for low-risk of complications were therefore established by our team and may be used in routine to select patients that might avoid ICU. However, long-term impact of this triage strategy remains unknown.

Objective:

The objective of this study is to assess 1-year outcomes according to unit admission selection (ICU or conventional care unit (CCU)) in patients undergoing TAVI.

title: Interest of the Use of Pulmonary Ultrasound in the Referral of Patients With or Suspected COVID-19 +

acronym: eChoVid

summary:
The recent pandemic due to the SARS-CoV2 results in a pulmonary infection in major symptomatic patients. Because of the large number of patients and the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (which seems to occur in almost 5% of patients), there is a real challenge to improve physician ability to screen between patients those who will require specific surveillance and those who can be sent back home. The recent French official recommendation of the French radiology society prescribe that chest X-ray do not have any place in the COVID-19+ management whereas the WHO stipulate that ultrasound machines may be useful for these patients [1-2]. Moreover, scattered recent publications tend to stress the interest of quick ultrasound imaging for COVID-19 suspected patients for screening purpose [2-5].

The aim of this observational historico-prospective study is to assess the risk of severe clinical outcomes (admission in continuous care unit (USC), invasive respiratory assistance, death) in patients suspected or diagnosed COVID-19+ as a function of initial pulmonary ultrasound abnormalities. These clinical outcomes are assessed through phone calls at D5, D15, M1.

The secondary objectives are:

Assessing the concordance between the severity of pulmonary lesions as detected by pulmonary ultrasound devices and the ones detected by CT-scanner, for patients who will undergo these two examinations.
Assessing the compared performances in detecting ultrasound pulmonary lesions for patients suspected or diagnosed COVID-19+, between an experimented operator and a newly trained operator.
Evaluate in suspected or COVID-19 patients, the risk of clinical worsening based on pulmonary ultrasound abnormalities during follow-up of hospitalized patients.
Evaluate the ultrasound evolution profiles of pulmonary lesions in patients whose clinical evolution is favorable.
Evaluate the incidence of thromboembolic events in patients who worsen secondarily.

title: Use of a Respiratory Multiplex PCR and Procalcitonin to Reduce Antibiotics Exposure in Patients With Severe Confirmed COVID-19 Pneumonia : a Multicenter, Parallel-group, Open-label, Randomized Controlled Trial

location_facility: Intensive care department-Hospital Tenon

summary:
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is an emerging respiratory virus that causes pneumonia. WHO data reported admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for 6% of patients, with a mortality rate reaching 45%. To date, apart from therapeutic trials, ICU management is symptomatic, based on organ failure support therapies. In the initial phase, the therapeutic management also includes empiric antimicrobial therapy (90% of patients, in accordance with LRTI guidelines (ATS 2019) and SRLF Guidelines (2020). One challenge for the ICU physicians is the timing for discontinuation of antimicrobial treatment, especially in case of shock or ARDS, considering that a substantial proportion of COVID-19 pneumonia patients may have pulmonary bacterial coinfection/superinfection. In order to avoid unnecessary prolonged antimicrobial therapy, and subsequent selective pressure, two tests could be combined in a personalized antibiotic strategy:

Procalcitonin (PCT): PCT is a useful tool to guide antibiotics discontinuation in community-acquired pneumonia) and viral pneumonia (PMID24612487).
Respiratory multiplex PCR FA-PPP (Biomérieux®): panel has been enlarged, including 8 viruses and 18 bacteria (quantitative analysis). The turnaround time is short. Sensitivity is high (99%, PMID32179139). It may contribute, in combination with conventional tests, to accelerate and improve the microbiological diagnosis during severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

The hypothesize of the study is that the combination of the mPCR FA-PPP and PCT could be used to reduce antibiotics exposure in patients with severe confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia, with a higher clinical efficacy and safety as compared with a conventional strategy.


title: Biomarkes Of Job STRess In Emergency Senior Physicians - Detection of Stressful Events

acronym: JOBSTRESS

summary:
Emergency medicine is a unique specialty focusing on a breadth of acute care, on demand . Shift work is also a fundamental component of emergency medicine, and is associated with chronic stress, including stress at work. Consequently, stress may lead to symptoms of mental exhaustion, physical fatigue, detachment from work, and feelings of diminished competence . Emergency physicians (EPs) are exposed to a complex interplay between stress (life-and-death emergencies - a defining characteristic of their job), sleep deprivation, and fatigue due to repeated changes in, and duration of shifts. Work-related exhaustion can lead to various physical and psychological symptoms, and also may be associated with delayed decision-making . The combined effects of stress and fatigue can impact on job performance, often resulting in otherwise preventable medical errors. Moreover, prolonged stress may expose EPs to a higher risk of multiple diseases, predominantly systemic inflammation and coronary heart disease. All these contribute to the premature departure of EPs to other specialties. Furthermore, low HRV has been associated with stress, burnout, and is linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

This project proposes to evaluate if life-and-death emergencies or specific situations will induce abrupt changes in HRV among emergency physicians. Moreover, we would like to compare reactions between being an actor (EPs) and being a spectator. We will further assess the role of expertise and habituation to stressful emergency situations between two untrained external observers

summary:
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) most often affect young patients and have high impact on morbidity and mortality with a significant alteration in the quality of life of patients with professional, social and emotional repercussions.

Beyond this burden, IMIDs share many common pathophysiological mechanisms and treatments, known as "targeted therapies". Despite progress in this field, much remains to be done in clinical, therapeutic and fundamental research to address the efficacy, resistance and side-effects of treatment.

These similarities between IMIDs have led the FHU IMMINeNT to propose the creation of a prospective, multidisciplinary clinical-biological database (IMMINeNT cohort), associated to a biobank, of patients with IMIDs. The main objectives of this database will be to identify new prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers in order to develop new therapeutic targets and biomarkers, to identify prognostic factors and determinants related to the activity, severity and quality of life of patients with IMIDs as well as to the response and tolerance to treatment.

title: Telephony Or Videophony for Isolated elDerly in Maine-Et-Loire 49 During COVID-19

summary:
The current health crisis at COVID-19 is forcing us to profoundly rethink our social organizations, especially towards our most fragile seniors. Prohibitions on visits to Nursing Homes and care services, although essential to control the epidemic, are also becoming a major source of social isolation and loneliness for these fragile populations. The only source of residual social ties during a period of confinement remains dematerialised communication via the various existing communication channels (in particular telephone calls or video telephony).

As soon as the COVID-19 crisis began and the first visiting restrictions were imposed on patients in the geriatric department of the Angers Univesity Hospital and the Retirement Home / long-term care unit, acute care geriatric unit of Angers offered patients and residents the opportunity to organize communication with their relatives via videophone calls. Initial feedback from the field shows us that, contrary to our intuition, patients and residents are not necessarily asking for communication to the outside world and, when they are, the preferred channel is not necessarily video telephony but often a simple phone call with relatives. Even though the vast majority of projects aimed at setting up communication aids for the elderly now rely on videophonic support, these initial observations in everyday care situations raise questions about the directions taken in this area. Also, the investigators ask themselves the following question: in the absence of a physical meeting, what is the preferred means of communication for elderly people in isolation in hospital or in Retirement Home? This study will make it possible to propose the most appropriate solutions for breaking isolation for the hospitalized or institutionalized geriatric population in order to limit as much as possible the increase in social isolation imposed by restrictions on movement during epidemics.
