An estimated 8 million individuals in America are affected by peripheral arterial disease (PAD), blockages of the leg arteries that can cause excruciating calf pain when walking. PAD can have a tremendous impact on patients' quality of life. It is also associated with high rates …

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal dosage of etanercept in patients treated for idiopathic juvenile arthritis

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the implementation of referral guidelines for imaging exams requested by the emergency department on exam relevance. The latter is assessed via the rate of suspected diagnoses that are confirmed by the requested exam.

Despite intermittent control of tracheal cuff pressure using a manual manometer, cuff underinflations and overinflations frequently occur in critically ill patients, resulting in increased risk for microaspiration and tracheal ischemic lesions. The aim of this study is to determi…

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease for which the aetiology includes genet-ic and environmental factors. It is rare in children as compared to adults. The severity may be related to greater involvement of genetic factors in children. The impact of g…

Preload dependence assessment is difficult during prone position, and to date, no hemodynamic parameters have been validated to rationalize fluid loading in that position. This study aims to validate several hemodynamic parameters, using continuous cardiac output by pulse contour…

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of akathisia with Droperidol, the prophylactic treatment of post operative nausea and vomiting, used at two different doses, versus control group (Ondansetron), in outpatient surgery.The primary endpoint is to compare …
