Circadian Rhythmicity During Coma Awakening
Acute brain injury is a major cause of admission to intensive care units, as well as of mortality and morbidity, worldwide and for all age groups. With most patients surviving these injuries thanks to recent medical advances, society is facing not only the growing burden of disability, but above all the ethical issues involved in withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies (WSLT). To resolve this dilemma, effective treatment would be necessary, but this is hampered by our limited knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms of the natural history of coma, from onset to recovery. A more systematic description of coma awakening using a multimodal battery in intensive care unit patients would enable us to refine the awakening and re-emergence of consciousness and define appropriate biomarkers for selecting candidates in interventional studies. The investigators hypothesize that the current postulate of successive stages (i.e. from one clinical class to the next) of coma recovery is incomplete, as it does not take into account the rhythmic nature of wakefulness. The investigators propose that the best correlate of the natural history of coma recovery is a gradual shift from the loss of physiological cycles to a circadian rhythmicity of arousal indices (behavioural and neurophysiological) and a wide amplitude of metric fluctuations in assessing content richness.
Development of Targeted RNA-Seq for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Diagnosis
Genetic diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) could identify the origin of the disease, potentially allowing the patient to pursue targeted/gene therapy. However, many familial forms of ALS are genetically undiagnosed, either because no variant has been detected in the genes of interest, or because the detected variant(s) have uncertain significance. Currently, molecular diagnosis takes place in two stages: 1) Search for the GGGGCC expansion in the C9ORF72 gene by RP-PCR; 2) Analysis of the coding regions by high-throughput sequencing of a panel of 30 genes involved in ALS. Many of these variants of uncertain significance affect splicing. Their impact can be predicted using in silico tools, but only an analysis of the patient's RNA can confirm their pathogenic nature. Currently, the analysis of transcripts is only done a posteriori, when a variant predicted to impact splicing is detected on the patient's DNA. RT-PCR followed by Sanger sequencing then verifies the impact of the splice variants. This method confirmed the impact of certain splice variants in patients. However, this method is time-consuming and requires custom development, and is mutation/gene/patient-dependent. In contrast, high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) simultaneously analyzes the splicing of numerous genes, with a global approach, applicable to all patients. This approach avoids the custom design of primers, which can be biased by the interpretation of splicing predictions, while RNA-Seq systematically captures and sequences all the transcripts. Finally, RNA-Seq provides additional information compared to DNA sequencing such as the detection of exon skipping, intron inclusion, and the creation of fusion transcripts. In the GTEx project (GTEx Consortium, 2013), expression levels of human genome transcripts were quantified by RNA-Seq. Using these results, the study investigators measured expression of transcripts of known ALS genes in whole blood. Applying a threshold value of 0.5 transcripts per million reads (TPM), 25 of the 30 ALS genes currently analyzed by NGS in routine diagnostics at Nîmes University Hospital could be eligible for a complete analysis by RNA-Seq. None of the French laboratories carrying out genetic analyzes of ALS has yet developed RNA-Seq as a routine diagnostic tool. The study laboratory receives more than 600 requests for genetic diagnosis of ALS patients per year. The aim of this study is therefore to develop a global method for analyzing RNA transcripts of ALS genes to categorize the mutations to improve the diagnostic management of patients.
Single-center Exploratory Study of the Intestinal Microbiota in Patients Treated for Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Predominant Constipation and Methane Production
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), characterized by the Rome IV criteria, is a functional bowel disorder combining abdominal pain with changes in bowel habits and/or stool consistency. This condition is common, affecting 5% to 10% of the population in developed countries. The etiology of IBS is multifactorial, involving intestinal motility disorders, visceral hypersensitivity, micro-inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, and dysbiosis. It has been demonstrated that the sub-category of IBS patients with constipation predominantly have increased amounts of Methanobrevibacter smithii, the most common methanogenic archaea found in the intestinal lumen, compared to other IBS patients. Breath tests can evaluate methane production by the intestinal microbiota, indirectly assessing the presence and quantity of methanogenic archaea. The acronym IMO (intestinal methanogen overgrowth) defines the association of digestive symptoms (notably bloating and constipation) with a high concentration of methane in exhaled gases (≥ 10 ppm). The links between constipation, methane production, and fecal microbiota are uncertain, necessitating further studies that could lead to precise diagnostic and treatment recommendations. Main objective: Describe the initial composition of the fecal microbiota of constipated methano-producing IBS patients. Secondary objectives: 2\. Describe the initial composition of blood metabolites linked to the microbiota of constipated methano-producing IBS patients 3. Describe the evolution of the fecal microbiota and blood metabolites linked to the fecal microbiota during conventional therapeutic management (before and after) of constipated methano-producing IBS patients. 4\. Compare the composition of the fecal microbiota before and after conventional therapeutic management of responding IBS-C patients (-30% on the IBS-SSS symptom severity score) compared to non-responding patients. 5\. Evaluate the impact of Methanobrevicter smithii in the response to symptomatic treatment. Exploratory observational single-center study (cohort follow-up) descriptive in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C, IBS-m or IBS-U) with excessive methane production detected on a glucose breath test. Patients will be invited to participate once the results of the breath test are known. Please note: In the context of this study, only two microbiota samples and 4 additional tubes and one tube of blood will be added to the usual practice. All treatments will be prescribed as part of the care and are not conditioned by the research protocol. The primary endpoint is the analysis of the initial composition (16S rRNA gene sequencing) of the fecal microbiota of constipated methano-producing IBS patients. The study population consists of constipated IBS patients with excessive methane production seen in the digestive functional exploration department for a breath test prescribed as part of an external procedure or a day hospital session. A total of 40 patients will be included over 18 months, with a participation duration of 2 months +/- 2months per subject. Patients with IBS constitute a heterogeneous population for whom only symptomatic treatment is currently offered with variable and unpredictable efficacy. Through this work, we seek to find new therapeutic axes to relieve or even treat their symptoms.
Serotonin Control of Impulsivity in Tourette Disorder
Tourette disorder (TD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. It is often associated with multiple psychiatric comorbidities involving a high degree of impulsivity such as obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), and intermittent explosive disorders (IED). Although a substantial body of clinical studies have emphasized the role of the dopamine system in motor symptoms, little is known about how the serotonergic (5-HT) system modulate both cognitive and affective abilities in TD. Several lines of evidence suggest that different 5-HT receptor subtypes may constitute a crucial factor in the development and maintenance of different symptoms. Because abnormal 5-HT2A receptor bindings have been reported in patients with TD and aripiprazole (drug of first choice) is a 5-HT2A antagonist, we hypothesize that 5-HT2A receptors may play an important role in regulating psychiatric symptoms in TD such as those characterized by impulsive behaviors. To investigate the involvement of 5-HT2A receptors in TD, we propose to perform a multimodal imaging study with 20 adult patients (ON and OFF treatment). Neuroimaging data will be collected with a hybrid system that simultaneously combines the positron emission tomography (PET) and the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A highly selective PET radiotracer (\[18F\]-altanserin) will map 5-HT2A receptor bindings in the whole brain, while fMRI will provide detail information regarding the altered brain activities.
Impact of a Protocol for Announcing Decision of Withholding and Withdrawing Life-sustaining Treatments on the Stress of the Relatives in the Emergency Departments
Death is a daily reality in the emergency department. Deaths represent 0.3 to 0.5% of emergency admissions, i.e. approximately 26,000 per year for the whole of France. For 80% of these deceased patients, a decision of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatments was made in the emergency departments. The announcement of death and decision of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatments in this context is complex because of the lack of time and the inappropriate places for the announcement. In addition, the short delay in the occurrence of these events may increase the stress and anxiety of families who are unprepared for the announcement. However, there is little data in the literature on the impact on families in terms of their experience of announcements in the emergency context. It has been established that symptoms of anxiety and depression are correlated with the onset of posttraumatic stress disorder and that the latter is more important in the families of deceased patients and after a decision to undergo decision of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatments in the intensive care unit. In order to identify it, several tools have been developed, including the Impact Event Scale (IES), which has been widely used to detect symptoms related to PTSD. It has also been shown that training nursing staff in communication skills or the use of written support in dealing with the families of patients who have died in intensive care reduces the appearance of post-traumatic stress symptoms. Human simulation is a pedagogical technique for learning interpersonal skills through role playing. It is used, among other things, in announcement situations in medicine. Nevertheless, its impact in emergency medicine has not been evaluated. Moreover, it has been shown that the involvement of the patient-partner in the care process must be improved and encouraged and that its impact has yet to be evaluated. Therefore, the objective is to evaluate the impact of a model protocol for announcing decision of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatments, with human simulation and the intervention of partner families in a simulation center and in situ, on the reduction of family stress following the announcement of a decision of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatments in the emergency departments. Hypothesis is that training all emergency department caregivers in the use of a model announcement protocol with the support of human simulation, combining training of pairs in a simulation center and in situ training, and the participation of partner families, would allow for a better understanding of announce of withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatments decision in the emergency department and reduce their impact on families in terms of the occurrence of acute stress and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

A Phase II Study Assessing Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Therapeutic Strategy of Oligoprogressive Renal Cell Carcinoma Metastases
Every year, 12500 primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are diagnosed in France. Metastases occur in half of RCC patients. Management of metastatic RCC is based on systemic treatments (targeted therapies/immunotherapy). However, resistance to systemic treatment is frequent. In case of progression, usual therapeutic attitude is initiating another systemic therapy. Because of the emergence of resistant tumor clonal cells, some patients progress only on few sites while the rest of tumor burden is controlled. In this setting named oligoprogressive disease \[isolated progression of \<3-5 metastase(s)\], ablative treatments of these evolving metastatic sites could allow a disease control and a reduced risk of new metastases occurrence by tumor-cell reembolization. Such strategy is challenging to prolong ongoing systemic treatment and delay further lines. Although RCC was considered radioresistant and radiotherapy with conventional fractionation was mainly used for palliation of symptoms, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), by delivering high dose in one or few fractions, allows local control for about 90% of RCC metastases through various radiobiological pathways. Furthermore, some data suggest that high-dose focal irradiation of RCC could induce a systemic antitumor response mediated by immunologic effectors(1). This phenomenon ("abscopal effect") could be enhanced in patients under immunotherapy, including anti-PD1. Several retrospective studies and one non-randomized phase-II study highly suggest the interest of SRT as focal ablative treatment in RCC oligometastases with excellent local control rates and low toxicity(2,3). Furthermore, the multicentric retrospective study the sponsor recently conducted within the GETUG group among 101 metastatic RCC patients with oligoprogression under systemic therapy highlighted that SRT on progressive sites provided a median of 8.6-month progression-free survival and allowed to continue current systemic line for 10.5 months. However, to date, there are no prospective data assessing the interest of SRT for management of oligoprogressive metastatic RCC. The sponsor aim to prospectively evaluate the interest of SRT as a therapeutic strategy for local control of oligoprogressive metastatic RCC under ongoing systemic treatment, and consequently delay subsequent systemic treatment.
