Implantable cardiac monitors are recommended and reimbursed in two specific cases: the etiological diagnosis of unexplained recurrent syncope and the etiological diagnosis of a cryptogenic ischemic stroke. According to the French National Authority for Health (HAS), remote monitoring "leads to early diagnosis and therapeutic care". However, remote tracking of these devices for diagnostic purposes is not included in the ETAPES program, which will end soon. This article presents a summary of the evaluation by HAS of the remote monitoring of implantable cardiac monitors. It also addresses the question of its reimbursement, as for therapeutic implantable devices.

Bone defects are difficult to treat clinically and most often require bone grafting for repair. However, the source of autograft bone is limited, and allograft bone carries the risk of disease transmission and immune rejection. As tissue engineering technology advances, bone replacement materials are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of bone defects.

The choice of modality of treatment for unruptured intracranial aneurysms is based on various clinical aspects and the patient's preference. Financial considerations should not be among these. To evaluate any financial variations between endovascular and microsurgical treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the Swiss healthcare system, we retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive aneurysm cases treated as inpatients in our institution.

Morphine dependence or addiction is a serious global public health and social problem, and traditional treatments are very limited. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a new potential treatment for drug addiction. Repeated use of morphine leads to neuroadaptive and molecular changes in the addiction-related brain regions.

The field of bioelectronic medicine has advanced rapidly from rudimentary electrical therapies to cutting-edge closed-loop systems that integrate real-time physiological monitoring with adaptive neuromodulation. Early innovations, such as cardiac pacemakers and deep brain stimulation, paved the way for these sophisticated technologies. This review traces the historical and technological progression of bioelectronic medicine, culminating in the emerging potential of closed-loop devices for multiple disorders of the brain and body.

Introduction: Contraception discontinuation is a concern, especially if it occurs in breastfeeding women, thereby exposing them to a high risk of close and unwanted pregnancies. Our study aimed to measure the prevalence and identify the individual and community-level factors associated with the discontinuation of modern contraceptives among breastfeeding women.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of retrospective data of the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data from nine high-fertility rate countries, conducted mostly between 2018-2021.
