It is not uncommon that, in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ at preoperative diagnosis, there may be an upgrade on definitive histological examination due to the identification of foci of infiltration (about one-fifth of cases), requiring axillary lymph node biopsy in a second surgery. Prospective studies have shown that the sentinel lymph node identification rate after recent breast-conserving surgery is suboptimal. With regard to the false negative rate (FNR), several studies demonstrated that it could be associated with different techniques used for lymph node identification. Lymph node biopsy by Indocyanine green (ICG) is capable of identifying the sentinel lymph node, however, there are no data in literature on the permanence of ICG in the lymph node system. The knowledge of this data would allow the application of this method, already considered safe for the identification of the sentinel lymph node at the time of breast surgery, also in those situations in which the sentinel lymph node biopsy is postponed due to the upgrade of definitive histological diagnosis from carcinoma in situ to infiltrating/micro-infiltrating carcinoma.The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the permanence of fluorescence at the level of axillary lymph nodes 3 weeks after subcutaneous injection in patients who are candidates to radical axillary surgery. Marking the sentinel lymph node before breast surgery in cases of DCIS with risk factors could reduce the false negative rate, allowing to increase the accuracy of the procedure in identifying the lymph node potentially involved by metastatic infiltration. In addition, the identification of the sentinel lymph node in patients who are candidates to radical axillary surgery, could increase the sensitivity of the surgery in staging axillary disease and could make the lymph node exeresis more targeted, reducing the morbidity of the surgery resulting in a better outcome for the patient. conditions: Breast Cancer studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: NA interventionModel: SINGLE_GROUP primaryPurpose: OTHER masking: NONE count: 10 type: ESTIMATED name: Indocyanine green measure: Permanence of fluorescence at the level of axillary lymph nodes at 2-3 weeks after subcutaneous injection of Indocyanine Green (2.5 mg), in patients who will undergo radical axillary surgery measure: Identification of the total number of fluorescent lymph nodes measure: Differences in the qualitative assessment (intensity) of fluorescence between the removed lymph nodes: lymph nodes will be divided into group A "intense fluorescence" and group B "mild fluorescence" measure: Association between histological positivity for metastases in sentinel and non-sentinel lymph nodes measure: Association between the patient's demographic/clinical variables and the presence or absence of fluorescent lymph nodes sex: FEMALE minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Centro di Riferimento Oncologico (CRO) di Aviano - IRCCS city: Aviano state: Pordenone zip: 33081 country: Italy name: Stefano Fracon, MD role: CONTACT phone: 0434659317 email: stefano.fracon@cro.it name: Samuele Massarut, MD role: CONTACT email: smassarut@cro.it name: Stefano Fracon, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR lat: 46.07056 lon: 12.59472 hasResults: False

<\|newrecord\|> nctId: NCT06347328 id: 23-AOI-01 briefTitle: The Benefits of Posterior Joint Infiltration in Chronic Low Back Pain acronym: InCHO overallStatus: NOT_YET_RECRUITING date: 2024-09 date: 2027-01 date: 2027-03 date: 2024-04-04 date: 2024-04-05 name: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice class: OTHER briefSummary: Lumbar facet joints have been implicated in chronic low back pain in over 45% of patients with isolated chronic common low back pain.
Low back pain is the most common form of spinal pain, more chronic and severe than cancer pain. The annual prevalence of chronic low back pain ranges from 15% to 45% (one-off prevalence, 30%; lifetime prevalence, 54-80%). Because of this extremely high incidence, doctors from a wide range of specialities perform interventional techniques in a variety of settings.
Facet joints have long been recognised as a source of back pain. In 1911, Goldthwait first recognised their role as a potential source of back pain. In 1933, Ghormley introduced the term "facet syndrome", defining lumbosacral pain with or without radicular pain. Badgley later suggested that facet joints could be a primary source of pain independently of spinal nerve compression. They demonstrated the role of posterior facet joints (PFJs) in a large number of patients with low back pain whose symptoms were not caused by a herniated disc. The underlying physiological concept of the PJF was introduced by Hirsch et al in 1963. They demonstrated that injecting a hypertonic saline solution into the region of the facet joints caused pain.
The management of chronic low back pain due to zygapophyseal involvement (lumbar facet joints) consists primarily of conservative treatment. This is based on analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy and weight loss, where appropriate. Other non-surgical options may be proposed, including glucocorticoid injections into the facet joints. Glucocorticoid injections, which act by reducing inflammation, are commonly used in routine care to treat spinal pain. This pain may be due to a variety of pathologies, including discogenic or facet-related, or mixed, ligamentous or muscular, linked to a regional or global disorder of spinal statics. They are commonly used as a standard treatment for chronic spinal pain.
Traditionally, in routine clinical practice, if there is significant paravertebral contracture and the clinical signs point to posterior joint involvement, a glucocorticoid injection is given in the doctor's surgery at the time of consultation, using anatomical landmarks to guide needle placement. However, few studies have demonstrated the efficacy of anatomical marking for infiltration of posterior joints, notably Cohen et al. Sui's systematic review of the use of this technique.
With the advent of new imaging modalities such as ultrasound, more and more practitioners are turning to image-guided injections. To date, only the fluoroscopy-guided technique is considered reliable for facet joint infiltration.
In order to improve the clinical efficacy of the various interventional therapeutic solutions, some authors have supported the use of ultrasound guidance. Several studies have been published comparing ultrasound-guided infiltration and infiltration using anatomical location in the shoulder region, the iliopsoas and in epicondilitis. While ultrasound guidance in areas such as the iliopsoas or the shoulder seems useful, it has not yet been proven that guidance is advantageous in spinal areas, such as the facet joints.
To our knowledge, no randomised, methodologically sound study has yet been carried out to compare the benefit of ultrasound-guided infiltration versus infiltration with anatomical location.
The aim of our study is to show that ultrasound-guided zygoapophyseal infiltration is superior to anatomically-guided infiltration in terms of pain assessment. conditions: Chronic Low-back Pain studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL primaryPurpose: TREATMENT masking: DOUBLE whoMasked: PARTICIPANT whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR count: 102 type: ESTIMATED name: echo-guided infiltration name: non-echo-guided infiltration measure: Change of pain progression measure: measure function state by EIFEL questionnaire measure: measure function state by ODI questionnaire measure: pain evaluation by VAS scale sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: CHU de NICE city: Nice state: CHU De Nice zip: 06000 country: France name: STEPHANIE FERRERO, MD role: CONTACT phone: +33492035477 email: ferrero.s@chu-nice.fr name: CHRISTIAN ROUX, Pr role: CONTACT email: roux.c2@chu-nice.fr name: STEPHANIE FERRERO, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: CHRISTIAN ROUX, Pr role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR lat: 43.70313 lon: 7.26608 facility: Ch Cannes city: Cannes country: France name: JOHANNA AZYLAY, MD role: CONTACT email: J.AZULAY@ch-cannes.fr lat: 43.55135 lon: 7.01275 hasResults: False

<\|newrecord\|> nctId: NCT06347302 id: EID 2023 briefTitle: Study of Vitreoretinal Molecular Changes During Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment acronym: LIPIDRET overallStatus: NOT_YET_RECRUITING date: 2024-04 date: 2025-10 date: 2025-10 date: 2024-04-04 date: 2024-04-04 name: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon class: OTHER briefSummary: Retinal detachment is a condition with an estimated incidence of between 9.5 and 18.2 cases per 100,000 individuals.
It is an ophthalmological emergency that threatens visual acuity and requires surgery. However, despite satisfactory post-operative anatomical results, vitreoretinal proliferation and photoreceptor death can still have a negative impact on visual prognosis. These complications are still not fully understood.
A previous study carried out by the Eye, Nutrition and Cell Signalling team at the CSGA, comparing mouse models of retinal detachment with healthy control retinas, revealed an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines and a change in retinal lipid abundance in detached retinas.
However, these results have yet to be confirmed in humans. Our main hypothesis is that the vitreous content of omega-3 PUFAs and proteins is altered during the onset of retinal detachment, since it reflects both intraocular inflammation and photoreceptor apoptosis.
We therefore wish to demonstrate that the protein and PUFA contents of the vitreous humour are different between eyes with retinal detachment and eyes not affected by retinal detachment after macular surgery (epiretinal membrane or macular hole). We would like to show that the vitreous PUFA content is lower in the macular surgery group due to the absence of photoreceptor apoptosis and the absence of dehiscence causing communication between the subretinal space (photoreceptors whose membranes are very rich in PUFAs) and the vitreous space. We also hope to identify changes in the protein composition of vitreous fluid in patients with retinal detachment, with overexpression of proteins involved in inflammation pathways.
In addition, we hypothesise that retinal omega-3 PUFA content is a factor influencing retino-vitreal proliferation and functional and anatomical recovery from retinal detachment. To this end, we will study the correlation between retinal PUFA-3 content and the clinical presentation and postoperative course of retinal detachment.
Finally, with the aim of identifying a serum marker for the prognostic evaluation of retinal detachment, we will use as a candidate a biomarker of retinal omega-3 PUFA content that we have developed in an Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) model. We will analyse the correlation between this biomarker and levels of omega-3 PUFAs measured directly in the retina.
To do this, we will analyse intraoperative samples of vitreous humour, sub-retinal fluid and retinal fluid from patients undergoing vitrectomy for retinal detachment in the Ophthalmology Department of the Dijon University Hospital. A group of control patients will consist of patients operated on by vitrectomy for macular surgery (epiretinal membrane or macular hole) for whom a vitreous humour sample will also be taken.
Clinical information on the characteristics of the retinal detachment will be collected. During the consultation, the patient will be questioned about any history of dyslipidaemia and any current treatment, including the use of lipid-enriched food supplements. Post-operative follow-up with prospective collection of clinical and paraclinical data on anatomical and functional evolution will be carried out up to 6 months after the occurrence of retinal detachment.
A blood sample will be taken to establish a lipid profile in all patients. We will thus gain a better understanding of the changes in lipid and protein content in the vitreous humour, sub-retinal fluid and retina, and the demonstration of a link between the initial presentation and the postoperative anatomical and functional evolution of retinal detachment. This will provide a better understanding of the lipid-dependent mechanisms linked to inflammation and photoreceptor degeneration during retinal detachment, and will ultimately make it possible to develop new therapeutic strategies to improve visual prognosis. conditions: Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachments studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL primaryPurpose: OTHER masking: NONE count: 160 type: ESTIMATED name: Blood sampling name: vitreous sampling name: Sub-retinal fluid sampling name: Retinal tissue sampling measure: Molecular content of fatty acids and proteins in the vitreous humour of eyes operated on for retinal detachment and eyes operated on for macular surgery sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Chu Dijon Bourgogne city: Dijon zip: 21000 country: France name: Petra EID role: CONTACT phone: 0380295173 phoneExt: +33 email: petra.eid@chu-dijon.fr lat: 47.31667 lon: 5.01667 hasResults: False

The study randomizes patients in a 1:1 fashion to standard oncologic care, in which the palliative care is requested as needed (reactive approach) or to early palliative care integrated with the standard oncologic care (proactive approach).
Standard of Care: the oncologist will be the main referral of the patient, deciding the therapeutic approach, the assessments requested, in terms of type of exams and timing and the need of possible further support from other expertise. The oncologist will base the choices also upon the results of the Liverpool Head and Neck Patient Concern Inventory (PCI-H\&N) and the patient's preferences. At the end of the first oncological visit, the physician will be asked to predict the survival of the patient.
Integrated approach: Besides the Oncology visit, patient will have the palliative care expert visit and follow up. The oncologist will define the therapeutic approach and the assessments requested, in terms of type of exams and timing. The palliative care clinician and the oncologist will judge the burden of symptoms and together they will propose the suggested interventions to relief the symptoms, with a particular attention to a validated instrument (the PCI-H\&N) and patient priority questionnaire's results.

The working group on ASBO of the World Society of Emergency Surgery suggested two distinct approaches for the management of acute ASBO: non-operative management (NOM) which concerning around 85% of patients and operative management (OM) :
* OM: if there is clinical signs of strangulation, peritonitis, bowel ischemia, or if IV CT Scan shows sign of ischemia, strangulation, peritonitis, or if the occlusion persists for more than 72 hours;
* NOM in all other cases, including nasogastric tube (NGT), intravenous administration of fluids, and clinical and biochemical monitoring for 72h.
NGT is an old concept first describe for treatment of ASBO based on several studies made on the dog where he proved efficacy of NGT by aspirating gas in the stomach favorising venous decompression and survival of patients. Since, NGT became one of the pillars of NOM.
However NGT is quite bad tolerated by patients (ranked the most painful hospital procedure), some of them refuse it, others put off after the beginning of the treatment and one of the most frequent complications of NGT is pneumonia, which is quite surprising when the first argument for its insertion is to avoid inhalation pneumonia.
Four specific retrospectives studies showed that absence of NGT is possible in 20 to 80% of included patients and was associated with a decrease: in transit recovery time; in complications rate (including rates of pneumonia); in length of stay (LOS); without an increased risk of surgery or resection. 20-87% (a total of 922 patients) were managed successfully conservatively without NGT with a reduction LOS of 2-6 days compared with NGT. But none of this series focused on the patient relief as an endpoint. A retrospective critical analysis of our own management (January - December 2019, n=96) found that: only 17% of patients had a NGT during the IV CTscan, the presence of the NGT did not influence neither gastric volume nor the rate of full stomach, and gastric volume did not influence patient management.
To summarize, the investigators therefore know that the insertion of a NGT is painful, does not relieve all patients, and has an unquantified therapeutic effect on the evolution of ASBO. That is why it is pertinent, in 2023, to question the useless of NGT in the treatment of ASBO, in selected patients. This study would be the first randomized controlled trial to focus on the absence of NGT for the NOM of patients with ASBO. The results of this study could lead to a change in the surgical practice. The absence of NGT in ASBO management appears to be an innovative practice, in rupture with the current practice. This is a part of the simplification of patients'care suffering from ASBO. conditions: Small Bowel Obstruction Adhesion studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL primaryPurpose: OTHER masking: DOUBLE whoMasked: PARTICIPANT whoMasked: CARE_PROVIDER count: 504 type: ESTIMATED name: nasogastric tube name: NOM without NGT insertion measure: Decrease of complication rate in patient without NGT group compared to control group measure: aspiration pneumonia rate in both patient groups sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years maximumAge: 85 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Amiens Universitary Hospital city: Amiens country: France name: jean marc Regimbeau, Pr role: CONTACT phone: +33 3 22 08 89 05 email: regimbeau.jean-marc@chu-amiens.fr name: charles sabbagh, Pr role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR name: Aiham Ghazali, Pr role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR name: Thierry Yzet, Pr role: SUB_INVESTIGATOR name: François Mauvais, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Lilian Schwarz, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Christophe Tresallet, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Pablo Ortega deballon, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Muriel Mathonnet, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Jérémie Lefevre, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Zaher Lakkis, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: David Fuks, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Fabrice Muscari, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Corina Iederan, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR name: Aurelien Venara, MD role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR lat: 49.9 lon: 2.3 hasResults: False

<\|newrecord\|> nctId: NCT06347029 id: Endothelial dysfunction briefTitle: Evaluation of Endothelial Dysfunction Using the "Flow Mediated Dilation" Test in a Population of Chronic Renal Failure Patients at Different Stages, and Evaluation of the Role of Antiphospholipid Antibodies overallStatus: RECRUITING date: 2023-10-17 date: 2024-12-31 date: 2024-12-31 date: 2024-04-04 date: 2024-04-04 name: Brugmann University Hospital class: OTHER briefSummary: The vascular endothelium is an organ in its own right, playing, among other things, a primordial role in the control of vascular tone. This vascular tone is ensured by pro-dilator mediators (nitric oxide (NO), prostacyclins (PGI2)), or vasoconstrictors (endothelin, thromboxane A2 or PGH2).Uremic toxin accumulation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well-known factor in endothelial dysfunction, often associated with higher cardiovascular risk. This association is also present for terminal chronic kidney disease characterized by the need to resort to an extra-renal purification technique (in-center hemodialysis (HD), daily home hemodialysis (HDQ), peritoneal dialysis) or to resort to renal transplantation.
For HD to be effective, it is essential that the blood flow rate passing through the dialyzer is greater than 300ml/min. This imperative requires that any hemodialysis patient have specific vascular access (dialysis catheter or arteriovenous fistula (AVF)) to ensure these flow rates. The vascular access of choice is the arteriovenous fistula , because it is associated with a lower risk of infection and lower morbidity and mortality. Making an arteriovenous fistula consists of surgically creating an anastomosis between a vein and an artery.
Complications of arteriovenous fistula are common. Arteriovenous fistula maturation may be delayed (maturation delay) or even absent. Drainage veins and/or anastomoses can also be the site of stenosis or thrombosis. The pathophysiology of these complications is complex and multifactorial. Among the risk factors for these complications (delay or absence of maturation, stenosis thrombosis), the positivity of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) can be cited, as well as endothelial dysfunction.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease causing a thrombotic phenotype. This is an acquired thrombophilia. In the general population, the prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies is around 0.5%; this prevalence is far from rare in hemodialysis, since it represents up to 37% in dialysis patients. In a retrospective study carried out at Brugmann University Hospital in 2023 , on 115 patients with AVF and in whom aPL dosages were available, the prevalence of persistent positivity (2 positive dosages spaced more than 12 weeks apart) was 21%.
Interestingly, a third of the cohort presented an antibody profile that did not allow them to be classified according to the classification criteria in force. This group corresponds to patients with a single positive dosage, either not recontrolled or recontrolled negative. This group was called Fluctuating. This fluctuating group was associated with arteriovenous fistula complications in a 2019 study.
Endothelial dysfunction is also implicated in the pathophysiology of APS. In clinical practice, the "flow mediated dilation" (FMD) test makes it possible to assess endothelial dysfunction in vivo. It involves the phenomenon of post-occlusive hyperemia which is mainly linked to NO and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. In the brachial artery, NO is the sole mediator of FMD. Endothelial dysfunction according to FMD has been described in populations with advanced chronic kidney disease, as well as patients with cardiovascular diseases. Hemodialysis patients with delayed/absence of arteriovenous fistula maturation have more pathological FMDs compared to dialysis patients without fistula problems. However, the additive role of aPL in this different population has not been studied in terms of endothelial dysfunction by FMD.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the weight of antiphospholipid biology on endothelial dysfunction in hemodialysis patients, using the FMD test.
1. Compare endothelial dysfunction by FMD according to the stage of chronic kidney disease and in comparison to a control group without chronic kidney disease.
2. Characterize the FMD pre or post dialysis and according to the duration of the long (for example between Thursday and Sunday) vs. short (between Tuesday and Thursday) inter-dialytic period.
3. Evaluate the relationship between endothelial dysfunction according to FMD, aPL positivity and arteriovenous fistula complications in hemodialysis patients.
4. Evaluate the risk factors associated with endothelial dysfunction according to FMD, and in particular evaluate the impact of antiphospholipid antibodies.
5. Evaluate the correlation between endothelial dysfunction according to FMD and other markers of endothelial dysfunction (urinary NO and metabolites of urinary NO, PGI2, endothelin, PGH2). conditions: Chronic Renal Failure studyType: INTERVENTIONAL phases: NA allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED interventionModel: PARALLEL primaryPurpose: BASIC_SCIENCE masking: NONE count: 200 type: ESTIMATED name: Urine sampling name: Blood sampling name: Flow mediated dilatation test measure: Nitric oxide (NO) plasma level measure: Endothelin 1 (ET-1) plasma level measure: E-Selectine plasma level measure: P-Selectine plasma level measure: Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) plasma level measure: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) plasma level measure: Nitric oxide (NO) urine concentration measure: Endothelin 1 (ET-1) urine concentration measure: Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF alpha) urine concentration measure: Interleukin 6 (IL-6) urine concentration measure: Flow mediated dilatation test result (%) sex: ALL minimumAge: 18 Years stdAges: ADULT stdAges: OLDER_ADULT facility: Brugmann University Hospital status: RECRUITING city: Brussels zip: 1020 country: Belgium name: Maxime Taghavi, MD PhD role: CONTACT email: Maxime.TAGHAVI@chu-brugmann.be lat: 50.85045 lon: 4.34878 hasResults: False
