The aim of this study is to observe mortality and complications in procedures in which are used new generation low-profile endoprothesis.

Meningitis, defined as inflammation of the meninges caused by different pathogens, is a serious infection associated with high morbidity and mortality. It occurs more commonly in the neonatal period than in any other age group. Neonatal meningitis is a devastating infection that occurs more commonly in neonates than in any other age group, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to evaluate epidemiology, treatment and prognosis of neonatal meningitis in a large-scale retrospective multicenter cohort study. The main objectives of this study were to assess the incidence, temporal trend, risk factors, causative organisms, and short term outcomes of neonatal meningitis in a large national cohort of newborn infants admitted to Turkey NICUs.

This study is divided into two parts: Part 1: An interventional study, with a pre-post study design to determinate the grade of knowledge of established GC risk factors. Part 2: An observational study to know impact on prevalence and infection eradication of H. pylori

The primary objective of this study is to compare the testing of DNA methylation, high-risk HPV subtypes, and cytology with the definite histological results in a case-control study, so as to determine the accuracy of DNA methylation in the screening of uterine cervical lesions. This study will include 300 patients with definite histological results, with 100 of cervical inflammation or low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), 100 of high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), and 100 of uterine cervical cancer. All the cervical specimens of cytology collected in the clinical settings will be utilized for the testing of DNA methylation, high-risk HPV subtypes and thin prep liquid-based cytology test (TCT). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated based on the known histological results. The differences of DNA methylation with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and TCT will also be analyzed. The testing of DNA methylation will be performed with the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The TCT and HPV testing will be performed with the Roche kits.

Children represent 1.2% of the spa population in France. Spa treatments, including climatic stays, are mainly prescribed for children in the context of respiratory, otorhinolaryngology and dermatological conditions. The benefits after spa treatments are the improvement of the symptoms of the pathology, the quality of life and in particular the reduction of drug exposures. Few authors have recently investigated the impact of spa treatments on the health of children and society, while care has changed significantly in recent years. Moreover, no real-life study of a large sample of children seems to have been conducted in this area. The present study plan to conduct a pharmacoepidemiology study on medico-administrative databases of the "observational study" type, in real life.

Systemic arterial hypertension is one of major risk factors to development of target organ damage that culminate in cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Sodium intake is related with elevation of arterial blood pressure due to rise of cardiac output and of arterial stiffness and it can be estimated by daily sodium excreted in urine 24h. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring can be used to obtain peripheral and central hemodynamic parameters [arterial stiffness parameters - central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index]. Applanation tonometry also can be used to check same central hemodynamic parameters. Both methods provide us important informations about the patients clinical conditions and help us to infer their prognosis. Therefore, this protocol aims measure the central hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients, controlled or resistant, and evaluate their sodium urinary excretion. The hypothesis is the resistant hypertensive patients have parameters higher than controlled hypertensive patients.

A growing body of research underscores the life- and cost-saving advantages of equipping people who use opioids with naloxone, but very little is known about: 1) barriers to naloxone awareness and access, and 2) the potential psychosocial and behavioral impacts of being "protected" by naloxone while engaging in overdose risk behaviors, of using naloxone on someone else, and of surviving an overdose in which naloxone is used. This research will provide insight into both of these domains to yield a richly contextualized understanding of the processes and mechanisms underlying changes in overdose risk behaviors related to naloxone access and use and will illuminate the disparities that may limit access to naloxone for some or result in compensatory behavior following naloxone exposure for others. Findings from this study will provide an empirical basis to strengthen and refine existing overdose prevention efforts and to design tailored interventions to engage opioid users who have recently survived or reversed an overdose.
