FGF23 and Cardiovascular Damage in Anemia With an Without Chronic Kidney Disease.
Anemia is associated with cardiovascular disease. Iron deficiency is usually induced in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In clinical studies, an inverse association between serum levels of iron and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a cardiovascular risk factor, has been demonstrated. In addition, a number of the I.V. iron presentations mostly …
Unraveling the Genetic Basis of Nicotine Addiction for Novel Therapeutic Strategies
This case-control study aims to investigate the genetic and molecular bases of nicotine addiction to identify potential therapeutic targets. The project will involve drug repurposing using Mendelian Randomization, a smoking cessation intervention, and the analysis of methylation status in participants undergoing nicotine withdrawal.

However, the way prescriptions are written and typed depends on doctors' habits, due to a lack of recommendations on the subject. The introduction of a state-qualified nurse to manage treatment will soon …
Assessing Optimal Inhaler Strategies During Acute Exacerbations of COPD (AECOPDs) Using Oscillometry
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a persistent lung disease that makes it very difficult to breathe. The airways and the normally 'spongy' lungs themselves are affected. The main treatment is puffers, some which are long-acting (to control persistent symptoms) and some which are short-acting ('rescue' puffers when suddenly feeling …
The Norwegian Immunotherapy in Multiple Myeloma Study
The goal of this observational study is to study the effectiveness and complications of novel immunotherapies used in the treatment of multiple myeloma in routine care in Norway. The aim is to close knowledge gaps, generate evidence for future clinical trials and contribute to future consensus on how to monitor …
The Prevalence of the Aortic to Radial Pressure Gradient in States of Shock, Outside the Context of Cardiac Surgery, a Prospective Study
First described in cardiac surgery, the aortic to radial pressure gradient (ATRAP) is the cause of an underestimation of the aortic pressure with a measure assumed with a radial catheter, and he can concert 1 of 3rd patients. The risks factor well known are small height, previous hypertension, long and …
