Urolithiasis has an increasing incidence and prevalence worldwide, and some patients may have multiple recurrences. Because these stone-related episodes may lead to multiple diagnostic examinations requiring ionizing radiation, urolithiasis is a natural target for dose reduction …

Respiration-related renal motion may reduce targeting stability during flexible ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy and thereby decrease lithotripsy efficiency. This single-center, three-arm randomized controlled trial evaluated whether transient apnea during active lithotripsy could…

The overall objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tocilizumab relative to placebo among approximately 300 hospitalized adult patients who have severe COVID-19. The study will be a 2 arm double blinded comparison between tocilizumab 8 mg/kg and matching plac…

Meningioma, an extra-axial brain tumor developed at the expense of meninges, accounts for 35% of central nervous system tumors, and its incidence is estimated at 3% in large autopsy series. The current gold standard for screening and monitoring cerebral meningiomas is MRI with i…

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a prototype of chronic, progressive, and fibrotic lung disease. It has been considered rare, with an incidence estimated to 11.5 cases per 100 000 individuals per year. Increasing rates of hospital admissions and deaths due to IPF suggest an…

This was a Phase III multi-center, randomized, two-arm parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of MBG453 or placebo added to azacitidine in adult participants with intermediate, high or very high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as per IPSS-R, or Chronic Myelomo…

Numerous studies have shown the impact of anti-cancer treatments on cognition and more particularly that of chemotherapy. Elderly patients also seem to be at higher risk of developing cognitive impairment. These disorders can have a particularly negative impact in this population…

Acute diarrhea in children is a public health problem. It is estimated that children under 3 years are subject to 1 or 2 episodes of diarrhea per year in Europe. These diarrheal episodes are frequent, expensive and responsible for many consultations and hospitalizations in develo…

This retrospective observational study examines the effects of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or psilocybin in patients with treatment-resistant depressive, anxiety, or addictive disorders. Data will be analyzed from patients treat…

This phase II trial studies how well ramucirumab and paclitaxel or the FOLFIRI regimen (leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and irinotecan hydrochloride) work in treating patients with small bowel cancers that have spread extensively to other anatomic sites (advanced) or are no lon…

The phase II, randomised study is to explore the efficacy and safety of toripalimab as consolidation therapy in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer who have not progressed following concurrent chemoradiation therapy

This retrospective cohort study compares ibuprofen treatment versus expectant management for hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in preterm infants. Data were collected from preterm infants with hsPDA admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Shengjing H…

The overall objective of CONFIRM2 is to perform the largest cardiovascular phenotype outcomes study ever.

This single-center randomized controlled trial compared heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) as primary noninvasive respiratory support in preterm infants (gestational age 28-34 weeks; birth weight 1000-2000 g) …
