"Fetal GRowth AbnorMality DEtection Trial"
The present trial intends to assess the diagnostic accuracy of symphysis fundal height (SFH) as opposed to SFH combined with point of care ultrasound to measure the fetal abdominal circumference (POC-US-AC) in identifying small and large for gestational age infants (SGA and LGA infants) among low-risk pregnant women cared for …
Treatment of Brain AVMs (TOBAS) Study
The objectives of this study and registry are to offer the best management possible for patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) (ruptured or unruptured) in terms of long-term outcomes, despite the presence of uncertainty. Management may include interventional therapy (with endovascular procedures, neurosurgery, or radiotherapy, alone or in combination) or …
Respiratory Muscles and Work of Breathing in Children
Respiratory muscle testing allows a quantitative assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscles in children of any age with primary or secondary respiratory muscle impairment, in order to better understand the pathophysiology of respiratory impairment and guide therapeutic management. The use of an invasive technique (esogastric probe) makes it possible to …
Validate Non-invasive Prenatal Tests for the Detection of Chromosomal Abnormalities
This study will be conducted on pregnant patients for whom there is a suspicion of a chromosomal abnormality of the fetus. These are patients eligible for non-invasive prenatal screening as part of their usual pregnancy surveillance. This research aims to develop and validate a new method for non-invasive prenatal testing. …
Characterization and Support for Neurodevelopmental Disorders Associated with Congenital Heart Defects
The leading cause of birth defects, Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) affect 12 million people worldwide and 41,000 newborns/year in Europe. It's a major cause of life-long morbidity and mortality, and a crucial public health issue. More than 50% of childs born with critical CHD will develop Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDs), requiring …
Neuroregulators for the Treatment of Diseases Associated With Esophageal-brain-gut Axis Communication Abnormalities.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) poses a challenging medical condition to manage, with up to 40% of patients showing refractory to standard medical intervention, which usually begins with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Among these cases, esophageal disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), such as reflux hypersensitivity and functional heartburn, or GERD …
CEM to Reduce Biopsy Rates for Less Than Highly Suspicious Breast Abnormalities: a Prospective Study
One of the primary criticisms of mammography is that it leads to unneeded stress and anxiety from identification and biopsy of non-cancerous findings. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) has the potential to significantly reduce biopsy rates for commonly seen benign breast lesions while preserving very high cancer detection. The investigators propose a …
TAPUR: Testing the Use of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Approved Drugs That Target a Specific Abnormality in a Tumor Gene in People With Advanced Stage Cancer
The purpose of the study is to learn from the real world practice of prescribing targeted therapies to patients with advanced cancer whose tumor harbors a genomic variant known to be a drug target or to predict sensitivity to a drug. NOTE: Due to character limits, the arms section does …
Simulation-based Training for Nurses and Arteriovenous Fistula Puncture in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
Currently, the technique of arteriovenous fistula puncture is transmitted by companionship within hemodialysis units. Although the main principles of the technique are well known and common to all hemodialysis units, strong rationales are still lacking to standardize fine practices such as the relative position of the needles, the angle of …
Oxytocin and Fetal Heart Rate Changes
The reported risk of nonreassuring fetal heart trace following neuraxial analgesia is 3-23%. This variability may be due to fluid and oxytocin management prior to and during the initiation of neuraxial analgesia. The study hypothesis is that decreasing the oxytocin infusion rate by 50 % prior to initiation of combined …
