This is a retrospective observational cohort study for the patient living with HIV aiming to understand more in disease progress, resistant mutation, comorbidity, and common coinfection.

The investigators combined the mRS questionnaire and BI questionnaire and then developed a telephone interview form as a simple questionnaire with internal rules. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the telephone interview form when compared with face-to-face assessment in clinically stable patients with stroke.

PTSD is characterized by physiological changes, some of which are thought to be chronic, while others are observed in response to stressogenic stimuli. Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy is a widely used protocol considered highly affective among individuals diagnosed with PTSD. The current study is a non-interventional observational study, aimed at measuring changes in the digital phenotype of participants with PTSD during and following PE therapy. Physiological data will be collected using wearable sensors during the sessions, and participants will be assessed using questionnaires and psychiatric assessments before and after the completion of their imaginal or writing based PE therapy (10-15 sessions).

Purpose: In order to verify the hypothesis that the composition of intestinal microbiota in children with spina bifida is different from that of normal control, prospective comparative analysis would be performed. Background of the study: Spina bifida is a congenital neurological disorder, causing neurogenic bowel. It has been known that the intestinal microbiota in spinal cord injury patient was different than that of control. Changes in intestinal motility, mucous secretion, immune surveillance, and epithelial barrier permeability are possible causes of this change. As spina bifida is also related with neurogenic bowel, the investigators hypothesized that the intestinal microbiota in spina bifida is different from that of normal control. Patients total 30 patients and 10 controls Inclusion for patients Patients who meet following conditions: 1) Children over 3 years old and under 12 years old who have been diagnosed with spinal bifida with spinal MRI Exclusion for patients and controls 1) Children with known inflammatory bowel disease or cloacal anomaly Statistical analysis Statistical processing for fecal samples is aimed at alpha or beta diversity using bioinformatics, and the Kruskal-Wallis test is used to compare similarities or differences between each fecal sample. Prior to statistical analysis, the relative abundance of the detected microorganisms is analyzed first, and microorganisms having a distribution less than 0.1% are excluded from the analysis, and the remaining microorganisms are analyzed in the 'genus' step.

to asses the age, reasons, oral health status and dental treatment needs of children in their first dental visit.

Keloid formation in response to skin trauma inflicts about 18 million individuals. A key impediment in successful treatment of keloids is that the predominant treatments, particularly surgical excision and shaving, tend to initiate the regrowth of the keloid at the excision site, and therefore, recurrence rates are high. There is much evidence to demonstrate that following surgical excision procedures with a course of radiation therapy can significantly reduce recurrence rates to as little as 10% or below. This prospective study is to evaluate this claim.

This is a cross-sectional observational study on adult asthmatics evaluating the relationship between asthma control and psychosocial factors to include intimate partner violence, stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder.

Patients undergoing surgery under opioid free general anesthesia (OFA) are monitored with antinociceptive devices like NOL or ANI that measures sympathetic activity but are invisible for the attending anesthesiologist . Observational study comparing patients with sufficient suppression of sympathetic reactions with patients having insufficient suppression on hemodynamic stability, post operative sedation, pain and inflammatory markers.

The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of lingual nerve injury and related factors in difficult intubation cases. Demographic data of difficult intubation cases and body mass indices, thyromental and sternomental distances, mallampati classification, neck circumference, maximum mouth opening be recorded.Numbness of the tongue and metallic taste will be questioned
