Fatigue, or asthenia, is an important symptom for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients in routine as well as research oriented clinical practice. Various questionnaires measuring fatigue have been developed, but few have been validated in french. MFI (Multidimensional Fatigue…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of MT-8554 on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin and rosuvastatin in healthy subjects.

Study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple escalating doses of intravenous (IV) Zidebactam in healthy adult human subjects.

The aim of this study is to assess cutaneous healing process under LED exposition on 10 healthy subjects pre-treated with fractional CO2 laser on mini-zones on forearms.

Prostate cancer is currently detected by ultrasound-guided biopsy. Computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems based on multiparametric MRI are now capable of detecting most aggressive cancer foci non-invasively, but additional progress is needed for the technique to be accepted in c…

This is an investigator initiated prospective study to determine whether the use of a negative pressure suction in the hypopharynx will reduce the amount of aspiration during Video Fluoroscopic Swallowing Exam (VFSE) among patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia.

The main aim of this project is to develop a new model to characterize brain connectivity and its changes with aging. This characterization will be based on new sensitive and specific markers, allowing a better understanding of structural and functional brain networks. To this en…

Although the primary motor cortex is considered has the common final pathway of motor commands, it is influenced by several structures as, for example, the premotor cortex and the posterior parietal cortex which are involved in motor planning and programming and which integrates …

Non skeletal effect of vitamin D have been the focus of much interest in the past decade. During the last years, special attention has been given to the impact of vitamin D on human reproduction. Its receptor is expressed in most reproductive organs including hypothalamus, pituit…

Once kidney function goes below 10 to 15 percent of normal, dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant are necessary to sustain life. One type of dialysis is hemodialysis which cleans blood by removing it from the body and passing it through a dialyzer, or artificial kidney. To m…

The goal of this interventional study is to test Quinine as marker of aspiration (endotracheal tube \[ETT\] cuff leakage) in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients.

This study is a controlled, open-label biomedical research project in cognitive neuroscience designed to examine the results (postural stability, error rates, and spatiotemporal parameters of eye movements and head movements) of three tests assessing visuospatial functions (activ…

E-Celsius device used for measuring the gastrointestinal temperature is composed of an ingestible capsule measuring the temperature as well as a transportable module receiving data from the capsule. This device allows to measure the body temperature (± 0.2 ° C) during transit of …

The main purpose of this study is to define at the bedside the "Titrated-PEEP" level for obese patients that increases the likelihood of extubation and ventilator liberation. The investigators hypothesized that a titrated level of PEEP ("Titrated-PEEP") during SBT will keep the …

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the intervention of a dietician on the energy balance accumulated over seven days of intensive care. Energy balance is defined as the difference between the target recommended energy and total calorie intake actually …
