Understanding how foods and nutrients are digested, absorbed and metabolized when weight is stable and during weight loss induced by bariatric surgery procedure using the technologies of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and fluxomics ("omics") will enable gener…

Evaluate ankle's ultrasound contribution in the accuracy of ankle's diagnosis of traumatic injuries (objectivated by reference's examination : ankle's MRI)

This study investigates a novel, non-invasive imaging technique called hyperspectral retinal imaging to improve the identification and characterisation of retinal and choroidal structures in both healthy and diseased eyes. Hyperspectral imaging captures retinal images across mult…

The objective of this protocol is to characterize cancer patients' responses to learning their secondary findings arising from tumor genomic profiling, and the process and outcomes of their decisions to communicate these results to their families.

Chronic Hemodialysis is a treatment for kidney failure. It involves the construction of three treatment sessions per week extrarenal lasting 4 hours each. This treatment is necessary but it has an impact on the quality of life of patients.The investigators believe that to improve…

A Phase 2, Randomized, Controlled Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of HTX-011 or HTX-002 for Post-Operative Analgesia Following Abdominoplasty Surgery

A 48-week, single-center, randomized, patient \& evaluator-blind, matched pairs, active-controlled, non-inferiority, confirmatory design

This study collects information and identifies decision making needs for older adult women with stage I-III breast cancer considering neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy. Using this information, a decision support tool is then developed to provide patients and physicians with t…

This physiological study showed an increase in regional ventilation with NIV but no difference in alveolar recruitment as compared to HFNC in patients with hypoxemic ARF. Although NIV provided better oxygenation than HFNC, the effect on lung volumes could explain the potentially …

The mortality of septic shock remains high nowadays despite a trend toward improvement.Septic cardiomyopathy has been reported in most experimental models of sepsis shock. Its relationship with mortality is unclear. A decrease in mortality have been reported in patients with decr…

The Fit2Lead prospective cohort study examines the effects of a park-based youth mental health and resilience afterschool program on youth participant mental health, resilience, physical fitness, and violence prevention outcomes. Duke will perform a secondary analysis of the data…

The main purpose of this project is to determine the impact of atrial fibrillation interventions (catheter ablation and exercise training) on circulating BDNF concentrations in patients with atrial fibrillation. It also seeks to determine if there is a relation between circulatin…

To access to good quality biological samples is a prerequisite for high level translational research. The BIG-RENAPE study has been established by the French hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy centers involved in the management of peritoneal surface malignancies. The main…

Comparing the production of interleukin 6 (inflammatory cytokine) in two heating speed (slow rewarming rate: 0.25 ° C / h or fast rewarming rate 0.50 ° C / h) at the completion of a period of targeted temperature at 33°C after cardiac arrest supported by shockable rhythm and succ…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of repeat dosing of JNJ-56021927 on the pharmacokinetics for single-dose multiple cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes (CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2C8) and transporter (P-gp and BRCP) substrates in participants with castration-res…

A wide spectrum of methods is used to image brain activation in vivo. It can be directly detected by neurons electrical activity imaging (cortical simulation mapping, calcium imaging, voltage sensitive dyes) or indirectly by imaging hemodynamic changes induced by the neurovascula…

Weight loss commonly occurs in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), negatively influencing their quality of life, treatment response and survival. Loss of muscle protein is generally a central component of weight loss in CHF…

Several studies have shown that patients with acute leukemia have many symptoms during disease These symptoms decrease the quality of life and may even appear or worsen other symptoms such as depression Several studies point to the involvement of supportive care and palliative ca…
