Many conditions and cardiovascular diseases (including stroke) are better managed with regular exercise training. The expected effects are partial reversal of adverse effects on heart and blood vessel structure and function, improved glycemic, tension and weight control. Physiologically, the aorta maintains low left ventricular after-load, promotes optimal sub-endocardial coronary blood ...

Mastocytosis are a group of disorders characterized by clonal accumulation of mast cells in various organs. Diagnosis of mastocytosis is challenging and patients remain undiagnosed for years. Using the diagnostic criteria defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) mastocytosis can be divided between Cutaneous Mastocytosis (CM) and Systemic Mastocytosis (SM). ...

Material and methods: Eighteen stroke patients, eighteen hypertensive patients and eighteen healthy subjects (men and women) will be enrolled. The investigator will use a 1.5 Tesla MRI device with a large magnet bore (70 cm) allowing positions change. Two measures will be performed, one in supine position and the other ...

The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscular paralysis due to degeneration of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, corticospinal pathway, brain stem and spinal cord. The incidence is estimated at 2/100 000 per year and prevalence at approximately 4/100000. Various clinical forms are ...

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked multisytemic lysosomal disorder caused by alpha-galactosidase deficiency. Globotriaosylcramide (Gb3) deposits are observed in almost all tissues examined. Signs of the disease appear earlier and are more severe in affected males than in females. Myocardiopathy, renal failure and neurological signs including chronic pain and ...

An atypical akineto-rigid parkinsonian syndrome, unresponsive to L-dopa has been evidenced in Guadeloupe. Abnormally frequent, this progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)-like syndrome represents a new clinical entity. Unlike in classical PSP 70% of patients have myoclonus, 59% hallucinations, 78% REM sleep behavior disorders. Oculomotor pattern differs from classical PSP suggesting that ...

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the two major high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer susceptibility genes. Monoallelic germline mutations that disrupt their normal gene function significantly increase the risk of developing cancer in carriers. The identification of a causal mutation in a proband allows proposing pre-symptomatic testing for the causal ...

There is no specific recommendations on the adjustments of the insulin treatment in the event of physical activity (PA) in T1D patients treated on insulin pump therapy. Patients often prefer additional carbohydrates intake rather than the reduction of their insulin doses because of the lack of specific algorithms. The DIABRASPORT ...

Patients will first be screened using the G8 screening tool. If the resulting score is altered (G8 <= 14), patients will be included in the main study and randomized according to 2 modalities: Arm A / Usual care (treatment according to on-going regimens in oncology) or Arm B /Case management ...

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignant proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells. Myeloma accounts for almost 14% of all hematologic cancers and is essentially incurable. Myeloma commonly evolves from a precursor disease, Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Despite intensive study, the etiology of MGUS and myeloma are unknown and no ...
