Serum Fetuin-A and COMP Levels in Knee Osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the clinical and radiographic severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and the serum levels of specific biomarkers, namely Fetuin-A and Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein (COMP). Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage breakdown and low-grade inflammation. Investigating these …
Discordance Between Capillary Refill Time and Oxygen Extraction Ratio in Septic Shock
In septic shock, restoring large-vessel (macrocirculatory) perfusion-reflected by a normal capillary refill time (CRT)-does not always mean that oxygen use at the tissue level has recovered. This mismatch, sometimes called loss of hemodynamic coherence, may be detectable by comparing CRT with the oxygen extraction ratio (O₂ER), a marker of how …
REFOCUS-HTN US-WEST: A Data Infrastructure to Characterize Individuals With Hypertension
The goal of the REFOCUS-HTN US-WEST program is to gain a better understanding of the role of a hormone called aldosterone in the development of hypertension. The SCALED sub-study is an observational cohort study that will enroll from REFOCUS-HTN cohort for prospective data collection.
Clinical Scores for Outcome Prediction in Patients With Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia Requiring ECMO
The prognosis of patients with severe COVID-19 disease, whose lungs are so severely diseased that they need to be supported by veno-venous ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), is difficult to assess so far. Previously published data from studies, case reports and case series describe a very high mortality in this patient …

Barrier Measures to Limit Covid-19.Nosocomial Transmission: a Cross-sectional Evaluation
Use lay language. The Covid-19 pandemic hit France in March 2020 and stage 3 of the epidemic justified the introduction of national and unprecedented containment measures from March 17, 2020. The Montpellier CHU experienced peak hospitalizations of Covid-19 infections in late March. The estimate of the proportion of infected people …
B3 for NMD: Bench to Bedside and Back
Background: Neuromuscular diseases (NMD) represent a broad group of rare genetic and acquired disorders, affecting over 300,000 people in Canada. Given the multiple different NMD subtypes, almost half of patients with NMD remain undiagnosed. Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify genetic or other markers in patient biosamples …
Different Susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care Workers Highly Exposed to COVID-19.
The primary objective of this study is to establish differences in susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCW) highly exposed to patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. To ascertain this issue, we evaluated: Changes in receptor polymorphism (ACE2 and CD26 receptor study. SARS-CoV-2 CD4/CD8 T cell response (CTL) Different …
Study on Susceptibility Genes and Pathogenic Mechanism of Non-syndromic Familial Aortic Dissection
Aortic dissection is dangerous and difficult to predict, so it is particularly important to carry out early prevention, diagnosis and rational treatment for high-risk groups. The related genes found in previous studies can not be detected in all patients with dissection; at present, the pathogenesis of non-syndromic aortic dissection is …
Preoperative Shielding and N/T RT-PCR Swabbing for Elective Cancer Surgery
trial to assess the effectiveness of pre-operative screening for COVID-19 in patients undergoing elective cancer surgery.
