Intermittent or continuous proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are recommended for high-risk bleeding ulcers according to the French Society of Gastroenterology. The prevalence of incidence of vein infusion phlebitis after PPI intravenous infusion is high in geriatric acute ward (about 10% of severe vein infusion phlebitis). The primary of objective of the study is to determinate the prevalence of vein infusion phlebitis after PPI intravenous infusion in aging people. The secondary of objective of the study if to determinate the factors of risk of vein infusion phlebitis.

Reports of maternal seroconversion to CMV during pregnancy can be extremely stressful. This virus is little known to the general public and searching for information on the Internet quickly leads to a consultation of a site mentioning the risk of severe psychomotor retardation in the event of prenatal cytomegalovirus infection. The psychological repercussions in the event of prenatal CMV infection with criteria of severity, leading or not to a request for IMG, is undeniable, but no study has investigated the consequences of seroconversion to CMV without transmission of the virus to the patient fetus, or in the case of transmission without criteria of seriousness, on the patient's experience during and after her pregnancy. Such a study would, if necessary, improve the care and support of these future mothers

This observational survey with retrospective follow-up is designed to study the daytime sleepiness based on Epworth Sleepiness Scale a good way or not to assess Taiwanese with suspected obstructive sleep apnea.

It is becoming increasingly evident that sleep plays an essential role for human health, and it represents an important biophysiological variable for athletes' well-being and recovery. The International Olympic Committee recently highlighted the importance of obtaining sufficient sleep volume and quality among athletes, but acute sleep deprivation is not unusual. Several factors, both endogenous and exogenous, are able to negatively influence sleep in athletes: body temperature, altitude, chronotype, training volume, anxiety, westward and eastward travels, and many others. Since December 2019, when a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was originally revealed by an ophthalmologist in Wuhan (Hubei province, China), a related severe acute respiratory syndrome - namely COVID-19 - has been spreading at a pandemic rate, putting global health systems under unprecedent pressure. Italy, as the first Western country tremendously hit by this disease outbreak, has become the iconic resilient outpost under international policymakers' attention. When initial clusters were identified, restrictive actions to curb isolated upsurges of infection were taken by the health region system of Lombardy, thereafter, were extended to all northern Italy and to the entire country. From February 21, when the first Italian COVID-19 case was diagnosed in southern Lombardy, to March 22, when Italian's government restrictions to contain the pandemic were extended, prohibiting all non-essential business activities and banning all movements of people nationwide, the country faced an unchartered scenario, from several standpoints, along with the psychosocial one. Inevitably, the Covid-19 outbreak has largely influenced the daily life of athletes too. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to examine the differences in athletes' sleep quality, quantity and training volumes during the social confinement due to the virus outbreak. For this purpose, a survey will be used. This variables will be evaluated in 3 different time frames: 1) May 2020; 2) September 2020; 3) January 2021.

In this study, we aim to develop a statistical shape model and use it to reconstruct the shape of acetabula with severe defects (Paprosky 3a-3b). This will allow us to visualise and assess the morphology of the missing bone. In future studies we will use the obtained results to improve the design of acetabular implants for revision surgery.

People spend almost a third of their life sleeping and understanding how the spine can adapt to a mattress is essential for promoting people's health. The general objective of this study is to study and evaluate the adaptation of the spine to a mattress. The primary objective is the assessment of the variation in the lumbar lordosis angle (sagittal plane) in the supine position, on a mattress, compared to the value measured in the supine position on a rigid surface.

HITACH developed a new combi-elastography imaging technology combines shear wave imaging and strain imaging technology. In the study, not only the F index which is related to the stage of liver fibrosis can be obtained, but also the A index which is related to the stage of hepatitis can be obtained, which can not be obtained by other ultrasound devices.

NHP referred to our outpatient clinic will be enrolled (150 newly recruited) in acute saline test for phenotype characterisation of PNat relationship(7). For each patient we will collect urine and blood samples for standard clinical biochemistry, including electrolytes, creatinine, EO, aldosterone, plasma renin activity, urinary uromodulin (ELISA), urinary and serum uric acid and blood samples for genetic test.

Research describing training load management during COVID-19 enforced home training in professional tennis players is lacking. Therefore, the main objective of this case series is to describe in detail the training load management and progression of three professional tennis players before, during and after COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.

Rationale: coronary microvascular disease is a relatively 'new' entity within the field of cardiology. The investigators are able to investigate the microcirculation by measurements performed in the catheterization laboratory. But even though measurements are performed on a daily basis, a lot of questions regarding microvascular disease remain. The rationale of this registry is to get an overview of patients and measurement values in daily routine practice. Objective and main endpoint: No previous registries have been set-up where coronary blood flow and resistance was systematically stored. Therefore the analyses will be mainly descriptive. The objective is to acquire a better insight in the indications and use of this technique in everyday practice , its consequences for clinical decision making, and to enable interventionalists to exchange mutual knowledge about this specific methodology and about the coronary microcirculation in general. Study design: prospective registry Study population: All patients who underwent coronary angiography with or without coronary intervention for any reason and if an indication for the foreseen intracoronary physiologic measurements is present according to the discretion of the operator. Intervention (if applicable): none, only usage of measurement data. The only 'intervention' for all patients is a questionnaire.
