Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are frequent and chronic myeloid malignancies including Polycythemia Vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) and Prefibrotic myelofibrosis (PreMF). These MPNs are caused by the acquisition of mutations affecting activation/proliferation pathways in hematopoietic stem cells. The principal mutations are JAK2V617F, calreticulin (CALR exon 9) and MPL W515. ET or MFP/PreMF patients who do not carry one of these three mutations are declared as triple-negative (3NEG) cases even if they are real MPN cases. These diseases are at high risk of thrombo-embolic complications and with high morbidity/mortality. This risk varies from 4 to 30% depending on MPN subtype and mutational status. In terms of therapy, all patients with MPNs should also take daily low-dose aspirin (LDA) as first antithrombotic drug, which is particularly efficient to reduce arterial but not venous events. Despite the association of a cytoreductive drug and LDA, thromboses still occur in 5-8% patients/year. All these situations have been explored in biological or clinical assays. All of them could increase the bleeding risk. We should look at different ways to reduce the thrombotic incidence: Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOAC)? In the general population, in medical or surgical contexts, DOACs have demonstrated their efficiency to prevent or cure most of the venous or arterial thrombotic events. At the present time, DOAC can be used in cancer populations according to International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) recommendations, except in patients with cancer at high bleeding risk (gastro-intestinal or genito-urinary cancers). Unfortunately, in trials evaluating DOAC in cancer patients, most patients have solid rather than hematologic cancers (generally less than 10% of the patients, mostly lymphoma or myeloma). In cancer patients, DOAC are also highly efficient to reduce the incidence of thrombosis (-30 to 60%), but patients are exposed to a higher hemorrhagic risk, especially in digestive cancer patients. In the cancer population, pathophysiology of both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events may be quite different between solid cancers and MPN. If MPN patients are also considered to be cancer patients in many countries, the pathophysiology of thrombosis is quite specific (hyperviscosity, platelet abnormalities, clonality, specific cytokines…) and they are exposed to a lower risk of digestive hemorrhages. It is thus difficult to extend findings from the "general cancer population" to MPN patients. Unfortunately, only scarce, retrospective data regarding the use of DOAC in MPNs are available data. We were the first to publish a "real-life" study about the use, the impact, and the risks in this population. In this local retrospective study, 25 patients with MPN were treated with DOAC for a median time of 2.1 years. We observed only one thrombosis (4%) and three major hemorrhages (12%, after trauma or unprepared surgery). Furthermore, we have compared the benefit/risk balance compared to patients treated with LDA without difference. With the increasing evidences of efficacy and tolerance of DOAC in large cohorts of patients including cancer patients, with their proven efficacy on prevention of both arterial and venous thrombotic events and because of the absence of prospective trial using these drugs in MPN patients, we propose to study their potential benefit as primary thrombotic prevention in MPN.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of myeloid blasts. Interestingly comparing de novo and stringently defined secondary AMLs occurring after a documented phase of MDS, Lindsley et al. could identify among de novo AMLs a molecular subgroup, termed 'secondary-type AML', defined by mutations in either SRSF2, SF3B1, U2AF1, ZRSR2, ASXL1, EZH2, BCOR and/or STAG2 genes. Among de novo AML patients, 33.3% had secondary-type mutations. It has been shown that patients older than 60 years of age harboring secondary-type AML, as defined by this 8-gene molecular signature, had inferior outcome to those without 'secondary-type' mutations when treated with conventional 7+3 chemotherapy, combining cytarabine and an anthracycline (ALFA 1200 study). This was notably true among patients with 'intermediate-risk' disease per European LeukemiaNet criteria. The incidence of 'secondary-type' AML mutations increases with age and with cytogenetic risk category. Notably, roughly 50% of de novo AML patients with intermediate risk older than 50 years of age harbor such secondary-type mutations, New therapeutic options are thus necessary in patients older than 50 years with de novo AML classified adverse risk but also intermediate risk and associated to secondary-type mutation This study will evaluate the rate of MRD negative remissions with CPX-351 used as induction and consolidation therapy according to its marketing authorization (AMM), as compared to intensive chemotherapy in a population of non-MRC AMLs enriched in secondary-like mutations. In addition,P-gp activity will be explore as a putative biomarker. Duration of the enrollment period: 36 months Duration of treatment: 6 months Duration of the participation for a patient: 18 months (post randomization) (including approximately 6 months treatment, and 12 months of post-treatment follow up) Overall duration of the study: 58 months including the analysis of the results

The medical information provided during the pre-operative phase is an essential and mandatory step in the duty to inform during the initial management of the patient undergoing surgery. The different reasons acting on the quantity and quality of the medical information integrated by the patient can be linked to several factors: among others, the information supports, the age, the listening and comprehension capacities, the level of anxiety or the level of education of the patient, thus creating health inequalities. The use of visual communication seems to be more suitable for patients with a low level of education, illiteracy or non-native speakers. Studies have shown that, in addition to oral preoperative information, the introduction of a visual medium with the use of a video has demonstrated a significant reduction in preoperative anxiety and the use of the Internet. The prevalence of anxiety is high in cancer patients, particularly during the preoperative phase. The EDOP company has developed a personalized and secure Internet platform containing, among other things, an explanatory video on breast surgery. In the current literature, there are no studies on the contribution of the use of video and web platform in the context of preoperative medical information. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that the unlimited access to the EDOP platform and the possibility to review as many times as necessary the information concerning their surgical intervention could allow, whatever the situation of the patients, to reduce the level of preoperative anxiety, which is always deleterious. Indeed, studies have shown the negative effects of preoperative anxiety on the quantity of anaesthetic used during the operation or on the consumption of analgesics postoperatively. A reduction in preoperative anxiety would therefore be likely to lead in the short term to a reduction in drug treatments and probably to a better state of health. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of additional personalized preoperative medical information, accessible via a secure internet platform, on anxiety on the morning of surgery, in the context of breast cancer surgery, after conventional oral and written information. The secondary objectives are to compare between the 2 groups: * the change in anxiety between the preoperative visit and the morning of the procedure, * patient satisfaction and understanding of the preoperative medical information received after the preoperative visit, on the morning of the operation, at discharge (between D0 and D3) and at the postoperative visit (6 weeks), * consultation of other websites and contact with the medical team, on the morning of the operation and at the post-operative visit (6 weeks), * the quantity of anaesthetic products used during the operation * the consumption of analgesics during the 15 days after the operation * consumption of anxiolytics during the 15 postoperative days For the experimental group: * To evaluate the use of the EDOP platform, * To evaluate patient satisfaction with this platform. This is a Multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind study. Only the clinical study technician (CST) will know the patient's group. Nursing staff will be blinded. Self-questionnaires will be filled out by the patients and then retrieved by the CT who will enter the data into the eCRF, with no access to these data by the investigators.

This trial will examine if maridebart cafraglutide as an adjunct to standard of care will lead to a reduction in heart failure (HF) events such as HF hospitalizations and urgent HF visits, cardiovascular (CV) deaths and improvement in HF symptoms in participants with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) who are obese. This is a phase 3, global, multicenter, 2-part trial with a double-blind period and an open-label extension (OLE). The trial is event-driven, and Part 1 will conclude when approximately 850 primary endpoint events have occurred.

Methods : ICAME is a multicentric, blinded prospective randomized controlled trial. 710 patients originated from 10 centers will be included over a period of 12 months and follow-up for 24 months. All patients have an external evaluation at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. They were randomized into the usual treatment group (unknown sST2 level) or the interventional treatment group, for whom sST2 level was known at all external consultation and used to guide the treatment. The primary endpoint was the QALY (Quality Adjusted Life Years). The secondary endpoints were the Cost-efficacy ratio, Cost to avoid an hospitalization for heart failure, the readmission rate for any cause at 1 month and at two years, and the evolution of cardiac remodelling determined by the collagene biomarkers.

Fever is the leading reason for outpatient consultations among children aged 2 to 9 years. The main concern in fever is severe bacterial infection, particularly for younger children. History and clinical examination do not always differentiate viral infections from bacterial infection. In 20% of febrile children, no infectious focus is found after examination and additional tests are necessary. The first one is measuring C-reactive protein (CRP). The results are obtained in several hours on an outpatient basis, causing long delays before starting treatment and often requiring telephone calls or further consultations. Emergency room use is constantly increasing, generating growing tensions within healthcare facilities, yet a large number of visits are avoidable. Among children visiting the pediatric emergency room, parents reported being referred by their primary care physician in approximately 20% of cases for children aged 1 to 5 years and in 30% of cases for children under one year old. The use of capillary medical device to measure CRP in primary care could reduce this referral rate and help relieve overcrowding in emergency rooms, as well as unscheduled consultation centers and medical analysis laboratories. This would result in a streamlined care pathway, saving time for both physicians and patients, as well as reducing the cost of care for the healthcare system.

In Westernized countries, the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is estimated at 15-20% of subjects over 70 years of age and is increasing considerably because of the aging of the population and the increasing prevalence of diabetes and renal insufficiency. In response to this increase in incidence, vascular surgeons must develop innovative treatments that minimize the use of resources in a context of budgetary constraints, in patients who are increasingly well informed, while maintaining the safety and effectiveness of the procedures performed. The endovascular technique has several advantages. First, it is a minimally invasive treatment, most often performed under local anesthesia. Secondly, the duration of the procedure and the length of hospitalization are reduced. In addition, the peri-operative morbidity and mortality is extremely low. In France, for many years, public health policies have encouraged the development of outpatient hospitalization. Endovascular treatment allows the development of outpatient care. The French Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (SCVE) was the first European society to publish recommendations concerning the outpatient management of endovascular treatment of PAD. These recommendations aim to promote the development of outpatient treatment by providing a framework for practitioners wishing to offer this type of management. Concerning the patient and according to the SCVE recommendations, all types of occlusive arterial lesions of the lower limbs can be managed on an outpatient basis and only patients with severe comorbidities are excluded from this type of hospitalization. In addition, various studies have shown the safety of outpatient hospitalization for PAD. The absence of an accompanying person on the night following the procedure is considered an exclusion criterion for outpatient care. The objective of this Stepped-wedge Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial is to increase the use of outpatient hospitalization for endovascular treatment of PAD by proposing a care pathway adapted to people without an accompanying person on the night of the procedure at home.

Disorders of glycemic regulation are common in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Abnormal glycaemia is observed in 50% of cases, in 30-40% diabetes, and in 25-35% fasting hyperglycaemia or glucose intolerance. Hyperglycemia is a major prognostic factor in ACS, with admission hyperglycemia having independent prognostic value for both short- and long-term major cardiovascular events (MACE), regardless of the presence of diabetes. Metabolically, several situations can be distinguished: * Hyperglycaemia occurs in known non-diabetic ACS subjects. It can be indicative of (i) Type 2 Diabetes or (ii) stress hyperglycaemia (diagnostic threshold for blood sugar varies according to learned societies, with HbA1c \< 6.5%). * Hyperglycaemia occurs in known diabetic ACS subjects Most studies use admission blood sugar as a predictor. However, it has recently been shown that glycemic variability indexes would be better predictors of MACE. Using continuous glucose measurement for 48 h, it has been shown that significant glycemic variability is a more powerful predictor of MACE at 1 year than admission glycemia The measurement of glycemic variability is mainly possible thanks to the development of CGM (continuous glucose measurement). To our knowledge, no study has been interested in evaluating the predictive value of the various glycemic parameters measured by CGM. Published studies have used continuous glucose measurements for very short periods (24 or 72 hours maximum), which limits these measurements. The freestyle libre Pro iQ (FSLPro iQ) is a professional sensor for continuous, non-invasive interstitial glucose measurement allowing the recording of glycemic parameters for 2 weeks. Our hypothesis is that glycaemic parameters, alone or in combination with each other or with other patient risk factors, measured with the Freestyle libre Pro iQ have a significant prognostic value in terms of cardiovascular clinical events at 12 months in a population of patients with ACS managed as standard and followed up.

Young women represent a population at risk of psychiatric disorders, the first signs of which often appear between the ages of 15 and 25. Psychiatric disorders are a major source of disability and healthcare costs. They are often comorbid, and can be complicated by suicidal behaviour. Delays in diagnosis are common, significantly worsening the prognosis and increasing the societal cost of these disorders. The perinatal period is an additional period of psychological vulnerability, during which women are at increased risk of developing or worsening psychiatric disorders. Unfortunately, these disorders seem to be largely under-diagnosed during this period, and therefore under-treated. To date, psychiatric diagnoses are exclusively clinical. They can be facilitated by screening questionnaires, the sensitivity and specificity of which are highly heterogeneous and sometimes poorly understood in the perinatal period and in the general population of pregnant women. What's more, several studies have shown that clinical diagnosis in everyday practice often lacks sensitivity when compared with standardized assessments, i.e. those based on a structured and reproducible diagnostic approach, which is longer and more costly, such as the MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview). The state of knowledge on the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders in the perinatal period suffers from many imperfections. The vast majority of studies focus exclusively on postpartum depression. This project, on the other hand, focuses on the diagnosis of any psychiatric disorder characterized by a standardized diagnostic interview (validated and reproducible, like the MINI) carried out by a professional trained in the clinical management of psychiatric disorders. Biomarkers, in particular to aid differential diagnosis, are being developed and are a source of hope for improving the quality of screening; but the results are rarely replicated in independent cohorts or from biological banks associated with quality clinical data. Our hypothesis is that the prevalence of psychiatric disorders (current or in remission), in this population, is at least 20% and that more than half of these disorders are unknown. From a practical point of view, it aims to improve assessments of psychiatric vulnerabilities within the two main public maternity hospitals in the Hérault department in France. From a scientific point of view, it will provide an opportunity to create a highly original bank of biological samples, opening up interesting research prospects in psychiatry, but also well beyond, given the specific nature of the population concerned.
