This is a Phase II study designed to investigate if the Covid 19 vaccines are capable of eliciting production of antibodies against S protein of Sar-S-Cov-2 virus among patients with medical history of cancer previously treated with monoclonal anti CD-20 antibodies. The antibody production is defined based on the detection of antibodies in the serologic Covid-19 rapid test against S protein or with semiquantitative assay when it becomes available.

The purpose of this study is to determine how the patient factors, co-morbid conditions, pre-operative workup, anatomy of the defect, reconstruction details, operative techniques, and type of repairs contribute to the final outcome of abdominal wall reconstruction. The outcomes of interest are: in-hospital complications, discharge disposition, hospital and ICU length of stay, long term follow-up (recurrence, reoperation, and explantation rates).

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women and covers 25% of all cancers. After mastectomy and reconstruction, many patients develop various upper extremity complications such as joint movement limitation, pain, lymphedema, and axillary cord. Because of such upper extremity problems, evaluation and treatment of upper extremity functions are important. Upper extremity functions are generally evaluated with questionnaires filled out by the patients themselves and which reflect their own perspectives subjectively. However, these questionnaires cannot reflect the observations and evaluations of the clinicians. Performance tests are important for clinicians to make decisions. With this study, we want to examine the usability of the FIT-HaNSA test in the evaluation of upper extremity functions in patients with breast cancer. Our hypothesis; The FıtHaNSA test is successful in evaluating the upper extremity function in patients with breast cancer.

Chronic liver disease is a significant health issue among children and it can result in fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. Since the prognosis and monitoring of these diseases are different from each other,, Conventional ultrasonography is preferred for the investigation of chronic liver diseases in children, as it is non-invasive, cheap, feasible and available. Elastography, an ultrasonographic non-invasive procedure that measures tissue stiffness.

Cord blood will be taken after birth for evaluation of cytokines level. At age of 4-6 weeks, we will do fundus examination for babies . Retrograde, we will study the perinatal risk factors in subjects found to have retinopathy. Follow up fundus will be done according to results of the first examination. By this study,we will be able later on to predict whom of preterm infants are more prone to develop retinopathy of prematurity.

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is a rare genetic pathology resulting in fragility of the skin and mucous membranes, causing bubbles and wounds following trauma. Scarring is pathological with a tendency to retraction. The gynecological and in particular the vulvovaginal mucous membranes can be affected but no description of any series is available in the literature. Likewise, some of these patients have a sexual and obstetrical life, despite sometimes-severe damage, but again no specific data is available. The investitigator thus wish to carry out a non-interventional multicenter prospective descriptive study. Better knowledge of gynecological semiology in patients with EBD will allow better adaptation of gynecological follow-up, screening for STDs and gynecological cancers, as well as possible specific complications. This study would eventually allow the draw up of recommendations for our gynecologist / obstetrician colleagues.

This case-control study focuses on pain in HIV, which is common despite antiretroviral therapy and compromises quality of life, mental health and daily functioning. Specifically, it will investigate the relationships between psychosocial distress, inflammation and pain in HIV.

This study inquires about the development of Telogen effluvium following the SARS-CoV-2 infection

The aim of this study is to evaluate the concentrations of interleukin-2, interleukin-10, interferon-gamma, PD1+ lymphocytes, and the interleukin-10 receptor expression in malignant and benign effusions.

This is a retrospective observational study drawing on data from the Brigham and Women's Home Hospital database. Sociodemographic and clinic data from a training cohort were used to train a machine learning algorithm to predict length of stay throughout a patient's admission. This algorithm was then validated in a validation cohort.
