Older people's experience of the partial lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate older people's experience of a COVID-19 partial lockdown (16 March-11 May 2020) in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Setting And Participants: Community-dwelling participants of the Lausanne cohort (Lc65+) in 2020, aged 71-86 years (n=2642).

Design And Outcome: This cross-sectional study was nested within the Lc65+ longitudinal study.

CMRSegTools: An open-source software enabling reproducible research in segmentation of acute myocardial infarct in CMR images.

In the last decade, a large number of clinical trials have been deployed using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) to evaluate cardioprotective strategies aiming at reducing the irreversible myocardial damage at the time of reperfusion. In these studies, segmentation and quantification of myocardial infarct lesion are often performed with a commercial software or an in-house closed-source code development thus creating a barrier for reproducible research. This paper introduces CMRSegTools: an open-source application software designed for the segmentation and quantification of myocardial infarct lesion enabling full access to state-of-the-art segmentation methods and parameters, easy integration of new algorithms and standardised results sharing.

International registry of congenital porto-systemic shunts: a multi-centre, retrospective and prospective registry of neonates, children and adults with congenital porto-systemic shunts.

Background: Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare vascular malformations associated with the risk of life-threatening systemic conditions, which remain underdiagnosed and often are identified after considerable diagnostic delay. CPSS are characterized by multiple signs and symptoms, often masquerading as other conditions, progressing over time if the shunt remains patent. Which patients will benefit from shunt closure remains to be clarified, as does the timing and method of closure.

A semantic database for integrated management of image and dosimetric data in low radiation dose research in medical imaging.

Medical ionizing radiation procedures and especially medical imaging are a non negligible source of exposure to patients. Whereas the biological effects of high absorbed doses are relatively well known, the effects of low absorbed doses are still debated. This work presents the development of a computer platform called Image and Radiation Dose BioBank (IRDBB) to manage research data produced in the context of the MEDIRAD project, a European project focusing on research on low doses in the context of medical procedures.

Factors associated with going outdoors frequently: a cross-sectional study among Swiss community-dwelling older adults.

Objective: This study examines potential risk and protective factors associated with going outdoors frequently among older persons, and whether these factors vary according to physical limitations.

Design: Cross-sectional analysis.

Setting And Participants: Community-dwelling participants of the Lausanne cohort Lc65+ in 2016, aged 68-82 years (n=3419).
