The SUBUSQOL cohort aimed to improve knowledge of the quality of ambulatory care, in particular the prognostic role of the early satisfaction with care on the change from baseline quality of self-reported health status in outpatients with alcohol or opioid dependence. It is a multicenter prospective cohort. Satisfaction was assessed using a multidimensional self-administered and validated questionnaire during the early care process. In addition to measuring satisfaction and obtaining sociodemographic and clinical data, this study collected data on the self-reported health status at inclusion and 3, 6 and 12 months after inclusion.

The social processes depend on complex cognitive mechanisms, which involve mainly the frontal and temporal lobe regions. Patients with early onset frontal and temporal lobe lesions might later develop important deficits in social integration. Accordingly, children with early onset temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) demonstrate altered emotion recognition.

The aim of this study is to gather information about knowledge, professional experience and attitude toward organ donation among health care professionals involved in the care of potential donors about the procurement process and potential lung donor management nationwide.

Cirrhotic patients undergoing liver transplantation might develop acute transient right ventricular dysfunction, ranging from mild to severe form. More than two decades ago, a number of studies with pulmonary artery catheters looked at this particular issue with controversial results. However, the pulmonary artery catheter as a monitor for right ventricular function (RVF) has several limitations, while the echocardiogram is deemed to be more accurate in this regard. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the RVF with the transesophageal echocardiogram, and particularly whether the RVF significantly varies during this procedure.

Insomnia belongs to the category of"sleepless"in Chinese medicine. Sleepless is defined as a persistent sleep disorder, results in some form of daytime impairment. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has obvious advantages in the treatment of chronic insomnia, but there have some subjective and objective obstacles in the advantages of TCM treatment of replication, promotion, and popularization. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the research from a multi-angle, and further summarize the ideas and methods from the perspective of TCM, to make it more objective, visual and standardized. Insomnia is a clinical manifestation of the disorders of the Zang and Fu, and it can further aggravate the dysfunction of the Zang and Fu. The Traditional Chinese medicine believes that, outward is the internal manifestation. Infrared image can reflect the state of cold and heat, yin and yang in all parts of human body. So it is called the CT of TCM. Pre-study found that patients with sleep disorders have different infrared image than normal changes. Polysomnography is currently recognized as the golden indicator of sleep research. Polysomnography can monitor the whole sleep process, and study the sleep structure by the related indexes, which is a basic technique for Sleep medical research and diagnosis of sleep disorders, and a standard method of evaluating sleep-related pathophysiology and sleep architecture. We will study the relationship between sleep structure of the PSG, the characteristics of infrared image, the four diagnostic information of TCM, and the self-rating scales of sleep and psychology in patients with chronic insomnia.

Sudden cardiac death is a frequent cause of cardiovascular mortality. Numerous rhythmic risk assessment criterion have been described targeting the substratum, the cardiac nervous tone or the trigger of arrhythmias. Development of ventricular tachycardia ablation in the past few years show interesting results preventing the recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias.

Hepatitis is known to induce severe liver diseases. The evaluation of the severity of liver cirrhosis is very important for the selection of appropriate treatment plan and the monitoring of patient response to treatment, accurate staging of liver fibrosis is critical because it determines the indication of antiviral treatment and prognosis of patients with chronic viral hepatitis, DWI is a particularly appealing method for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis because it is easy to implement and process, without the need for contrast agents. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has been shown to be a promising marker of fibrosis and cirrhosis.

The main objective of the BALISTIC research program is to characterize COPD related to organic particles (of which the model is agricultural COPD) in comparison with tobacco-related COPD, at the clinical, functional (at rest and exercise), inflammatory and physiopathological level. The cross-sectional step BALISTIC 1 made it possible to include 400 patients between 2011 and 2015, and to identify approximately 100 dairy farmers COPD and 100 non-dairy farmers COPD (tobacco COPD). Preliminary results, as well as those of an ancillary study that included a group of subjects exposed to mineral dust and fumes, suggest that agricultural COPD is a predominantly non-emphysematous or essentially bronchial disease with IgE-mediated allergic mechanisms. The current project BALISTIC 2 proposes to conduct a comparative study at + 6 years on average of the two groups of COPD subjects identified in BALISTIC 1 in order to specify the phenotype of COPD in dairy farmers by, in particular, the study of the rate of decline of resting and exercise respiratory function parameters, its computed tomography presentation and its genetic and epigenetic profile. The prospects of this work are to improve the management of COPD in any cause by setting up preventive and curative therapeutic approaches in order to provide answers to the progression of a disease that makes part of the few major public health problems of the 21st century.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between gut microbiome (bacteria in the gut), inflammation and the injured brain. It has been established that bacteria in the gut play key roles in digestion, nutrition absorption and immune response of the entire body. Human intestinal bacteria composition in the gut has been associated with several stroke risk factors including obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and hypertension. If we can establish a relationship between gastrointestinal microbial community composition and ischemic stroke outcomes could lead to dietary interventions in the future to improve recovery after a stroke.
