The study aims to evaluate the decision-making pathways of interventional cardiologists, when assessing patients, presented with stable coronary artery disease.

In the last ten years, gerontechnology is becoming an increasing topic in geriatric medicine. Nevertheless, there are still few studies assessing the usability of technologies in old patients, especially when they are hospitalized. Moreover, it has been shown that new technologies could be a source of ageism, thence the importance of involving the old people in the development of these technologies. Tik easy is a subsidiary of La Poste Company. Tik easy as designed a new tablet PC for old people. Research tends to show that the use of tablet PC can promote health and well-aging, and delay cognitive decline. In this study, we want to give a free access to "Ardoiz", the tablet PC designed by Tik easy, for old patients hospitalized in a geriatric acute care unit. The "Ardoiz" tablet PC allows to: Maintain the family and social bond (send and receive messages, share photos and videos, call remotely between the patient and his family) Discovering the Internet at his own pace (browse the Internet with daily updated contents such as news, content on cooking, music, etc.). Prevent cognitive aging (stimulate cognitive abilities with the DYNSEO games). Facilitate online administrative procedures.

The objective of the study is to classify and carry out a quantitative analysis of the different bacterial species present in the intestinal microbiota of patients with acute pancreatitis and determine if there are significant differences regarding healthy controls. At the same time, the investigators pretend to determine if there are differences according to the etiology and severity of the disease and if the disregulation is temporary or is maintained after one month of discharge. To carry out this purpose, the investigators have designed a prospective and multicentre observational study where samples of feces and saliva of patients admitted for acute pancreatitis of different etiologies and severity will be analyzed.

to detect the relation between results of the peripheral perfusion index and modified Allen's test.

Difficult intubation is the situation that anesthesiologists don't want to face. Sometimes, difficult intubation affects the patient's oxygen saturation and harms for life. Many studies try to identify the predictors of difficult airway in pediatric patients. In this study, the investigator team want to identify the predictors of difficult intubation in pediatric patient by using additional parameters which are including hyomental distance, sternomental distance, neck circumference, ratio of hyomental distance to Thyromental distance, ratio of hyomental distance to sternomental distance, ratio of height to neck circumference, ratio of height to thyromental distance, Ratio of height to hyomental distance.

Bladder cancer is the seventh cause of cancer mortality in France. Overall survival is poor, between 45 and 50% at 5 years. Optimal staging of lymph nodes and metastasis is crucial for treatment decision of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Guidelines do not recommend FDG-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Computed Tomography (CT), but rather CT for lymph node and metastatic staging, despite its low accuracy. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing PET CT for localized MIBC in two centers, to help define the utility of PET CT in this setting.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield for lung complication after allo-HSCT by multiple parameter system through BAL.

Keratoconus is a degenerative disease entity characterized by conical shape ectasia of the cornea. progressive conical deformation of the cornea leads to substantial astigmatism. Patients who are at an advanced stage of ectasia are often led to corneal transplant or other treatments, which essentially aim at correcting the refractive error and not in treating the ectasia. The top of the protruding cone that corneal configuration may be close to the visual axis or below and nasal of that. The disease manifests during adolescence, followed by slow progressive course, although it is possible to stabilize anytime. In 85% of cases both eyes are affected, but the severity of the attack can present significant asymmetry.

Very little is known about the role of X-inactive specific transcript RNA in human breast cancer and in regulating different response to therapy . the relation between the breast cancer predisposing gene BRCA1 & X-inactive specific transcript RNA has been investigated but still controversial. Loss of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is observed in breast cancer . Other studies sheds light on a possible mechanism of breast carcinogenesis mediated by XIST misbehaviour.
