This study aims to study prospectively the clinical and paraclinical evolution and prognostic factors of autoimmune haemolytic anemias, Evans syndromes and chronic immunological thrombocytopenic purpura of children in France.

The twin pregnancies monochorionic are specifically explained to two main types of complications: the anomalies of the embryo affecting a symmetry and in particular the median line on one hand and malformative sequences of vascular origin on the other hand. This last category of …

This study is working towards gaining a better understanding of the genetic and environmental factors involved in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), which includes autism, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), and Asperger's syndrome. The investigators hope that information gaine…

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of sunitinib malate and to see how well it works when given together with cisplatin or carboplatin and etoposide in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemo…

The Wisconsin Brain Donor Program (WBDP) stores brain and other tissues/samples (e.g. blood and CSF) from deceased individuals who have participated in longitudinal research studies, as well as other select participants. These individuals have donated their tissues in order to ai…

The purpose of this project is to assess the utility of a new magnetic resonance technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in the non-invasive diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus. The investigators hypothesize that MRE produces a unique imaging signature for h…

The purpose of this clinical study is to confirm safety and efficacy in the clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment of the investigational EnRhythm MRI™ SureScan™ Pacing System (used in support of Revo MRI™ SureScan Pacing System launch).

Comparison of two randomized group : * caesarean section planned at 38 weeks after 2 antenatal injections of 12 mg of betamethasone 48 h before. * caesarean section planned at 39 weeks without corticosteroid. The aim is to demonstrate that programming caesarean section at 38 we…

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural curve of the spine with no clear underlying cause. Bracing is currently the standard of care for preventing curve progression and treating AIS. However, the effectiveness of bracing remains unclear. The purpose of this study i…

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a severe lung injury that can occur in the days following lung transplant surgery. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic factors that may put someone at risk for developing PGD.

The purpose of this study is to learn why certain drugs stop working in patients.In lab studies, tumors become resistant in several ways. Specific molecules seem to change and this may be why therapy stops working. However, we do not know if the same molecules change in patients.…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of VM202 (Engensis) direct injection into the cardiac muscles of the coronary artery territory where complete revascularization could not be done even through Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).

Opportunistic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing is widespread among men aged 75-79. Current American and European guidelines recommend PSA-based screening through shared decision-making if men are expected to live at least 10 more years-a threshold previously tied to ages 7…

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of new immunosuppressive protocol based on two applications of anti-CD52 MabCampath (Alemtuzumab) a single dose of anti-TNF-α Remicade (infliximab) monoclonal antibodies in the early posttransplant period followed by either monothe…

DHEA prevents and reverses chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in a chronic hypoxic-pulmonary hypertension model in the rat. However, no study has been performed in human. The purpose of this study is to determine if DHEA is effective in the treatment of respiratory pulmonary …

The primary purpose of this proposal will be to identify potentially modifiable risk factors of long-term cognitive impairment (i.e. development of delirium and exposure to sedative and analgesic medications) in ICU patients. The investigators will quantify the independent contri…

The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of intravenously administered alteplase in patients with acute ischemic stroke based on the rate of recanalization assessed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), the rate of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (…

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fenretinide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intravenous fenretinide …

The purpose of this study is to meet a PMA condition of approval of the BHR System. The study will evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of the BHR system in patients with non-inflammatory and inflammatory arthritis.

This is a 3-day study comparing pyridostigmine versus placebo in the treatment of postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The researchers expect pyridostigmine to improve tachycardia and stabilize blood pressure.
