Vascular surgeons take decisions on the revascularization technics when surgery is needed for patients with Lower Extremities Arterial Disease (LEAD). This decision requires experience, good knowledge of official recommandations and new technics and an exhaustive description of the patient status. The Case Based Reasoning (CBR) is a good candidate to clinical decision support. To assess its applicability to LEAD, this study proposes a numerical modelization of patient data in this context, application of hierarchical and heterogenous similarity measures on retrospective data. We showed that similar pathological contexts of patients induce similar revascularization technics, which confirms CBR is usable for our purpose. These experiments need to be reproduced in the future to confirm these results on prospective data.

We explored adolescent viewpoints on vaccines and hesitancy using an anonymized, validated, self-completed electronic questionnaire amongst state-school Year 12-13 adolescents in London, UK. As the response rate was low (Cohort 1; = 112/486, 23.0%), we repeated the survey with incoming students (cohort 2, = 256/275; 93%).

In humanitarian crises, quantifying the number of victims contributes to estimating the needs for assistance, advocating for additional resources, promoting diplomatic actions, supporting transnational justice, and informing political decisions. It also provides a clearer understanding of the severity of a crisis within its historical, geographical, political, and social contexts. However, data collection in conflict settings is frequently hindered by insecurity and political barriers.

Importance: This study addresses the critical need for an evidence-based instrument to assess the likelihood of NSAID-induced cardiovascular events, that provides clinicians with valuable decision support to improve safety in their use for pain management, especially in patients vulnerable to cardiovascular events.
Objective: To develop a practical risk scoring tool, NSAID Induced Cardiovascular Events (NAÏVE), for estimating the risk of serious cardiovascular events associated with NSAID use.
Design: Retrospective nested case-control study.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequent diagnosed malignancy in male patients in Europe and radiation therapy (RT) is a main treatment option. However, current RT concepts for PCa have an imminent need to be rectified in order to modify the radiotherapeutic strategy by considering (i) the personal PCa biology in terms of radio resistance and (ii) the individual preferences of each patient.
Methods: To this end, a mechanistic multiscale model of prostate tumor response to external radiotherapeutic schemes, based on a discrete entity and discrete event simulation approach has been developed.

Background: In the human placenta, we have detected the MPs by Raman microspectroscopy analysis and, for the first time, with transmission electron microscopy. MPs fragments have been localized in different compartments of placental tissue, free in the cytoplasm and within organelles like lysosomes. Moreover, their presence has been correlated with ultrastructural alterations of some cell organelles, typical of metabolic stress, mainly dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum and numerous swollen electrodense mitochondria, as well as signs derived from involuting organelles.
