The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic qualities of lung ultrasonography to monitor the position of the intubation probe. The primary assessment criterion is of study the position of the intubation probe with two examinations carried out independently : * sonog…

Inhalation pneumonia (PI) is common in clinical practice but is rarely studied. For example, there are no data on the incidence of pneumonia after inhalation and risk factors or protective factors to develop one since it is known that anyone who inhaled does not necessarily devel…

This study evaluates hematopoiesis to determine how MBL/CLL affected bone marrow responds to fight off infections in the body.

This study is for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). This study will test the feasibility of the administration of intratumoral injections of ipilimumab prior to surgical resection, and the immune system response to treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a distance follow-up on body mass index decrease at 15 months compared to traditional management in obese adolescents.

Asthma exacerbations account for a significant morbidity and disproportionate health care costs. However, there is no currently available biomarker or lung function parameter that can accurately predict the risk of future exacerbations. The current work aims at evaluating the res…
