Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength and is associated with worse outcomes in cancer patients. It can negatively affect prognosis, increase postoperative complications, reduce tolerance to systemic therapy, and impair qua…

This study aims to support EOL decision-making in patients with advanced COPD and their family members. A parallel two-arm single-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effects of a specific decision support intervention. A total of 226 patients wit…

In pterygium excision procedures, the subconjunctival injection of xylocain is regarded as an uncomfortable and painful step in the procedure. While already being studied in other ophthalmic procedures such as glaucoma surgery (7), application of topical lidocaine gel is likely t…

This study was set up because of an unusual increase in the number of cases of mycoplasma infections in France between June and November 2023. Clinical data from children with mycoplasma infections will be collected to characterise this infection and facilitate hospital manageme…

This study aims to compare the effects of sodium acetate Ringer's solution versus sodium lactate Ringer's solution on early postoperative renal function indicators, renal injury biomarkers, and acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery.

The primary purpose of this investigation is to determine whether water carbonation can improve orthostatic tolerance in healthy control volunteers. Orthostatic tolerance refers to the ability to maintain an adequate blood pressure when standing. In some individuals blood pressur…

The purpose of the proposed study is to examine if a repeated treatment of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) can increase the functional connectivity between the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate, which may further enhanc…
