Can Waveform and Flow Traces From Mechanical Insuflattion:Exsufflation (MI:E) be Used to Identify Laryngeal Responses to MI:E and Thus Optimise Treatment Algorithms?
Objectives To establish if physiotherapists can use the waveform traces from the cough assist machine to work out when patients are having an abnormal airway response to cough assist To establish how cough assist device settings, particularly in breath and cough pressures affect a patient's response to using the cough …
Polygraphy at Home for Neuromuscular Patients Under Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the feasibility, the quality and the utility of a polygraphic control at home in order to appreciate the efficacy of the night time non-invasive ventilation (allowing to optimize the ventilator settings when the results are not satisfactory).
MSOT as Non-invasive Biomarker for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Neuromuscular Diseases
The goal of this study is to learn if Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomographs (MSOT) works to diagnose and follow the course of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) in children. MSOT scans will be obtained from muscle region to measure hemo/myoglobin, collagen and lipid content/signal and oxygenation in patients with neuromuscular diseases. No additional …
Elaboration of a Pronostic Score of Changes on Wheelchair's Seating System
Development and validation study of a prognostic score - study of prognostic performance by a prospective longitudinal multicenter cohort spread over 8 centers: 4 for the development cohort and 4 for the validation cohort).
Observe Change in Nasal Swab DRD2 Gene Expression in Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Patients on Prolonged Dopamine Agonist Treatment
The study aims to observe changes in dopaminergic genes expression in peripheral tissue upon prolonged dopamine agonist treatment on patients with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Similar studies in Parkinson's disease have shown changes in alpha-synuclein expression, which might offer insights into the dopaminergic gene regulation seen in RLS. The dopamine …
Prevalence and Characteristics of Restless Leg Syndrome in Thai Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by pathologic intraneuronal alpha-synuclein-positive Lewy bodies and neuronal cell loss. The cardinal clinical symptoms and signs of PD are bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, postural instability, and freezing attacks. The prevalence of PD increases with age, affecting 1-2% of the population over the …
Research Biobank From Neuromuscular Biopsy Residues (in the Context of Care)
Neuromuscular diseases are rare diseases for which significant progress has been made in the context of diagnosis thanks to advances in molecular techniques, but the intimate mechanisms of lesion formation remain poorly understood. Advances in cellular and molecular biology, the development of a few animal models, such as transgenic mice, …
MDTRP Neuromuscular Research Biobank
The purpose of this research repository is to collect, store, and share with other researchers any tissues that subjects with all types of neuromuscular disease are willing to donate. These samples will be stored at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and will be used for future research with this population.
Comparison of Diagnostic Performances of 3D FLAIR, DIR and PSIR Sequences in Optic Neuritis
Ultimately improve the care of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (1st cause of acquired non-traumatic disability in adults) and NMO spectrum diseases by using more efficient MRI sequences than the FLAIR sequence commonly used in detection of optic neuritis. In the literature, many studies have already focused on comparing the …
Molecular Imaging of Inflammation in Parkinson's Disease Using LPS and TSPO-PET/MR
It is not known what causes Parkinson's disease and what makes it worsen over time. Research conducted in the past few years has highlighted the possible role of inflammation on this process but its actual mechanisms are still obscure. In this study, the investigators aim to gain understanding on how …
