NCT00003145
This clinical trial studies fludarabine phosphate, low-dose total-body irradiation, and peripheral blood stem cell transplant followed by donor lymphocyte infusion in treating older patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.

NCT04119973
Ineffective hemostasis or a paradoxical prothrombotic state of Acute-on-chronic liver disease (ACLF) has been well established. Thrombelastography measures the dynamics of thrombin production and provides a global assessment of coagulation incorporating the cumulative effect of the interactions at various levels between plasma components and cellular component of coagulation. And through the platelet mapping, it can help provide a picture of patients' function of platelet. Based on the primary result of our derivation cohort(NCT03281278), ACLF patients with high ADP inhibition rate had high 28-day mortality.This multicenter validation cohort aims to validate the predictive role of platelet mapping in ACLF prognosis, organ failure developments and short term mortality.
NCT03227302
In China, the standardized training system for residents was built last year, and the associations of the grades of doctors and accoucheurs and neonatal outcomes remains unclear.
NCT02537782
Several attempts have been made to refine selection criteria for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Previously proposed parameters probably do not sufficiently reflect the underlying mechanical dyssynchrony of the left ventricle (LV). Earlier work of our research group suggests that better candidate selection can rely on the direct observation or measurement of this LV mechanical dyssynchrony by means of non-invasive imaging. In this study apical rocking and other non-invasive measures of LV mechanical dyssynchrony will be applied to evaluate regional myocardial workload and metabolism, and determine their predictive value in CRT response.

NCT02717247
Obesity is worldwide a public health problem. According to World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obesity are the fifth death risk factor worldwide. At least 2.8 million adults die each year. Food addiction is one of the causes of obesity that may benefit from new therapeutic options.
NCT03311165
Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) is a rare but often severe respiratory disorder. The incidence remains unclear and mortality is about 30%-60%. It is characterized by acute, refractory hypoxemia, persistent respiratory distress and decreased lung compliance. Evaluation and comparison of various clinical studies conducted were hindered by a lack of uniformity in diagnostic criteria.
NCT03684083
Introduction. Chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is the main late noninfectious complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) that can affect several organs. Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is recognized as pulmonary chronic GVHD. A diagnosis of a lower respiratory tract infection in the first 100 days following transplant has been associated to the development of BOS. One hypothesis is that the first stage driving to BOS is a previous aggression of bronchial epithelial cells by various factors such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thereafter, data suggest that viral infections, in particular Parainfluenza viruses could be a trigger for BOS. The alloimmune reaction activated by the respiratory virus could lead to the fibrosis process. Our hypothesis is that the bronchial epithelium of allogeneic HSCT recipients has phenotypic specificities that are associated with a specific response to the viral respiratory infections (in particular paramyxovirus) leading to the development of BOS. Main objective. To characterize and compare the inflammatory response after infection with Parainfluenza 3 virus in an ex-vivo model of bronchial epithelial cells obtained from allogeneic HSCT recipients and controls. Objective secondary. To characterize the phenotypic specificities of allogeneic HSCT recipients' bronchial epithelium. Methodology, and experimental plan. Prospective, monocentric research. Bronchial biopsies obtained from patients, will be completely differentiated after 21 days of culture. Epithelial cells will be infected by the virus strain Parainfluenza 3. Transcriptome of the cells from both allogeneic HSCT patients and controls, infected and non-infected will be analyzed 48 hours after infection.
NCT04221698
In running 70% of the lower limb, injuries are produced in the running segment. The vast majority of sports-related musculoskeletal injuries in young athletes are caused by overuse. Previous research has shown a clear association between running-related injuries and kinematic patterns, showing the existence of a causal relationship between biomechanical alterations and injures. According to the evidence, that real-time visual and auditory feedback based on gait retraining should be considered to treat injured runners or prevent injuries. However, no previous studies have been carried out on whether gait retraining decreases running-related injuries incidence in young triathletes. The investigators propose a study to determine the effect of gait retraining on the decrease in the number of running-related injuries and improve the running efficiency in young triathletes.

NCT01379716
Postherpetic Neuralgia is a painful nerve condition that can occur when nerve fibers are damaged following an outbreak of shingles. The purpose of this study is to identify and study abnormalities in the nerves and cells in the of patients with postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) and characterize changes that could be responsible for causing nerve pain. This data will be compared to the tissue of healthy volunteers. Our goal is that this information will lead to the development of better treatment options for people with painful nerve conditions.

NCT02818491
Shoulder surgery is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain. Interscalene brachial plexus block is considered by many as the gold standard for treating postoperative pain and consists of injecting local anaesthetics close to the nerves of the brachial plexus in the neck. Duration of analgesia is between eight to twelve hours depending on the type of administered drugs. Dexamethasone 4 mg is a steroid routinely injected intravenously in anaesthesia for the prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Recently, different trials have demonstrated that combining 4 to 8 mg of dexamethasone with local anaesthetics for a perineural injection may prolong the duration of analgesia up to 24 hours. In a meta-analysis including 29 trials and 1695 patients, investigators have recently demonstrated through a meta-regression that a dose of 4 mg is sufficient and represents a ceiling dose, without neurological complications. The objective of this multicenter randomised controlled double-blinded trial is to determine the optimal dose of perineural dexamethasone. For that purpose, investigators will include a total of 150 patients divided in 5 groups: local anaesthetics with placebo, or with dexamethasone 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg.
NCT02918383
Laser Angiography using indocyanin green (ICG) is a relatively new technique and has been utilized to assess the viability of soft tissue, most prominently in the general surgery and plastic surgery literature. This technique has been used for prediction of soft tissue viability by assessing the perfusion status. There is currently no Orthopaedic literature regarding the use of this device for assessment of subchondral perfusion of articular surfaces such as the distal femur or other chondral surfaces. In this pilot study, the use of ICG to detect the perfusion status of a distal femur and proximal tibia during a surgical approach to the knee and correlating this to visible signs of arthritis. For example, due to the difference visible with ICG angiography correlate to gross changes in the cartilage health visible to the naked eye with radiographic imaging.
