The Gulf War Era Cohort and Biorepository pilot project collected epidemiological, survey, clinical, and environmental exposure data from Veterans who served during the 1990-1991 Gulf War Era. Approved researchers will be able to use these data and the blood samples to do future …

Collection of coded biomaterial and clinical data with patients consent for future research.

The goals of this study are to assess concordance between the patient-surgeon pair regarding expectations of lumbar spine surgery.

As citizens of the information age, humans leave digital traces of behavior in their communication and movement patterns through our cell phone. The Global Positioning System (GPS) technology tracks the way persons commute to school or work or when visiting family and friends. Ci…

The aim of this study is to know the bucco-dental status of patients with schizophrenia in Côte d'Or. Participation in this study will last only as long as it takes to: * carry out a bucco-dental examination: evaluation of dental plaque and calculus * take a blood sample to ass…

The researchers are seeking to study whether or not there is benefit in keeping patients flat after Angioseal for extended periods of time after diagnostic heart catheterization or if a more aggressive approach of early ambulation would be just as safe while improving cost and pa…

This study will clinically evaluate a newly developed respiratory monitor - pneuRIP. The pneuRIP uses Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) bands to measure key breathing indices non-invasively. This study compares the pneuRIP to an existing Respitrace system (Carefusion, …

Since the introduction of the combined hormonal contraceptive pill, dosages of ethinyl estradiol (EE) have steadily decreased from more than 150mcg to 20mcg in an attempt to improve the risk profile associated with the COC. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration approved a ora…

In this study the investigators took the opportunity of having a large sample of IUI cycles in a single centre to try to analyse the effect of stimulation protocols and of the infertility origin on the results, taking in account the main confounding variables (female age, IUI att…

The aim of this study is to investigate using fMRI methods, EEG and dedicated mathematical models, the potential alterations of neurovascular coupling in CADASIL.

The main objective of this study is to obtain data to determine, in each individual with and without wearing compression stockings of different strengths and during different postures, the relationship between interface pressure and the area and circumference of the great sapheno…

The investigators are interested in how skeletal muscle processes fat and how this may affect insulin resistance. This is an important question since insulin resistance predates and predicts type 2 diabetes. The investigators are especially interested in learning about the effect…

Fewer pregnant women achieve recommendations for physical activity (PA) (30 minutes of moderate PA 5 days of the week) as compared to non-pregnant women (15.8% to 26.1% respectively), and PA participation declines as pregnancy progresses. The benefits of PA during pregnancy are a…

This research study is being done to help researchers develop new dietary options for menopausal women to maintain a healthy weight by developing more nutritious snacks that have health benefits. From this study, the researchers hope to gain understanding on how menopausal women …

The results of this study will serve as a starting point for future trials concentrating on the effectiveness and clinical outcomes of the procedures performed in an office based angiosuite. Additionally, other studies could compare clinical outcomes between procedures performed …

The investigators want to evaluate the accuracy of an ultrasound fusion guiding system in the positioning of a needle (here the accuracy is evaluated with a 22G spinal needle), by comparing the path indicated by the ultrasound fusion (virtual line) and the path actually obtained …

This single ascending dose (SAD) study in healthy subjects will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of KBP-5074. PK/PD (plasma aldosterone, serum potassium and urine albumin levels) relationships will be explored to support the selection of dosing regimens of K…
