A Follow-up Study Validating a Blended Technique for Identifying the Proximal Humerus Intraosseous Vascular Access Insertion Site

This observational study aims to establish a prospective nationwide cohort of venous thromboembolism. The main questions it mains to answer are: * Which patients with venous thromboembolism should accept long-term anticoagulation therapy? * Mechanism and prognosis of venous thro…

The main objective of this study is to evaluate, for 15 healthy volunteers and for 15 patients with a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE), the monthly variation (over 6 months) of plasma nucleosome and free DNA concentrations.

Background: -The brain has two systems for recognizing objects. One system recognizes what an object is, and the other system recognizes where the object is located. However, there is much about how the brain handles and interprets the information from these two systems that is …

Differences in speech-understanding and the quality of the subjective perception among cochlear implant patients (Digisonic SP) depends on numerous factors. The electrical field distribution (interaction between electrodes) could also explain the disparity of the performances? Th…

The purpose of this study is to develop and refine techniques for using magnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy to investigate how your body uses energy.

This is a prospective observational multi-center non-controlled study. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic performance of the G7 Acetabular Cup System.

In human, the physiology of gait and balance is not clearly established. By using functional imaging and electrophysiological techniques, various brain regions from the cortex to the midbrain area, including the cerebellum, have been identified as involved in such control. The sp…

The purpose of this study is to estimate the capacity of the auto-questionnaire of quality of life, VQ11, to follow the evolution of patients with COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in stable state (without exacerbation in the previous 6 weeks) (3 months +/-15 days) dur…

The global aim of this study is to investigate how the human microbiome changes from baseline with commonly used topical medications such as topical antifungals, low to mid potency topical steroids and emollients. The specific aims are as follows: 1. Investigate whether ketocon…

Review the evolution of thyroid function in HIV-infected patients, with sufficient follow-up.

In human, the cerebral cortex forms a network of vestibular cortical areas which functional role remains unknown. In patients with localised cortical lesions the investigator has previously demonstrated that the parieto-temporal cortex could regulate the inertial component of the…

The primary objective of this study is the psychometric validation of two questionnaires (PISQ-R and a new questionnaire on sexuality) as compared to a non specific questionnaire on female sexual function (FSFI).

Background: \- The Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine is working to improve physicians' understanding of brain injury. More information is needed on traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially how well a person recovers from TBI and how the brain changes over time in…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in patients who will be undergoing an enteroscopy as an outpatient procedure with symptoms of functional dyspepsia. In addition, the investigators would like to identify the…

Lactose, one of the key nutrients in human milk may be critically important to infants for more reasons than being a source of energy. We are interested in understanding how lactose when compared to other sugars influences how nutrients, specifically macronutrients are handled af…

The schizophrenic disorders and pervasive developmental disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders distinct origin who share common challenges to engage and maintain social relationships and mutual disturbances of affective contact. An important issue of research is to determine …
