"Hoarding "is a common behavior among Holocaust survivors and is related to the traumatic events they have experienced, and we assume that storage behavior and eating disorders are related to future generations of Holocaust survivors.

Globally, it has been estimated that 15.5% of all infantsare born low birth weight, defined as birthweight less than 2,500 g .

Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and thienopyridines is an essential treatment in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, despite intensified antiplatelet treatment, some of the patients undergoing PCI develop thrombotic stent occlusion, suggesting incomplete platelet inhibition due to thienopyridine resistance. Some patients develop bleeding event because of the improper dosage and covariation. This observational study is designed for clarifying the Influence of gene polymorphism on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing PCI.

Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is an ultra-rare disorder with an estimated birth prevalence of around 1 in 400,000.1 GACI is generally fatal before birth or within the first six months after birth. The cause of death is frequently myocardial infarction or stroke. GACI is strongly associated with inactivating mutations in ectonucleotide pyrophosphate/ phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1). Many patients with GACI, including some without an ENPP1 mutation also present with mutations in adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter protein subfamily C member 6 (ABCC6). Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2) and pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) are believed to be closely related to GACI. ARHR2 is caused by mutations in the ENPP1 gene and PXE is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene, with both being observed among patients with GACI. The natural history of GACI and in particular its long term morbidity and mortality are poorly understood. The primary objective of this study is to characterize overall survival among patients with GACI, over time from birth.

The investigators perform a case-control study to compare preparation before elective colorectal surgery. The first group is a prospective patient - registry in all patients with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and oral antibiotic prophylaxis the day before colorectal surgery. The second group is a historic collective of patients with MBP only and colorectal surgery. The cases were matches in American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system, BMI, operative procedure and risk factors.

hAECs Are Preliminarily Applied in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

This study wInclusion criteria for this study will be as follows: Age group: from 15 to 60 years old. Patients with with non malignant mandibular neoplasms indicated for segmental resection. Exclusion criteria: Patients with malignant mandibular neoplasms. All cases will undergo surgery under general anesthesia. The mandibular lesion will be segmentally resected. The cuts will be performed with the aid of the prefabricated digital template. The neurovascular bundle will be separated and protected. Then reconstruction will be performed. Postoperative patient evaluation: Neurosensory examination: Assessment of the inferior alveolar nerve function will be performed preoperatively, 2 and 12 weeks postoperatively through Trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential technique. Six months postoperatively by CBCT for assessment of recurrence

Extensive studies suggest composition of microbiome of respiratory samples or lung tissues in COPD patients is different from the composition of healthy smokers. Aim of this study is to analyze composition of microbiome of various samples (e.g. feces, sputum, and urine) and to describe difference of composition between COPD patients and healthy smokers.

This international observational study aims at examining the patterns of health-related quality of life differences between long-term acute myeloid leukemia patients and their healthy peers from the general population.

There is a group of social assistance recipients which have difficulties in entering the labor market and thus remains in a long-term dependency on social assistance. More knowledge about individuals receiving long-term social assistance is needed in order to improve into work interventions for this group. Therefore, this study aims to describe variables of health, function and activity in participants receiving long-term social assistance.
