In this study, data from patients with INS will be recorded prospectively, regularly and systematically. The cohort will be composed of patients followed by pediatric nephrologists affiliated with the SNP. Metropolitan France, Reunion Island and Mayotte are the geographical areas concerned. It is planned to integrate other French overseas departments and territories, in particular the West Indies. This is therefore a prospective, multicenter, cohort follow-up study. The data will be centralized via a secure website dedicated to the study. Data will be obtained from: * Medical record data (hospitalization/consultations) as part of routine clinical follow-up for patients with active disease. This information will be medically validated and integrated into the database with the help of clinical research staff. * A telephone interview for annual follow-ups for patients whose absence of active disease no longer requires a systematic medical visit. This structured interview will be administered by telephone by the study's clinical research staff. * Self-administered or hetero-administered quality of life questionnaires (PEDS-QL), self-administered or hetero-administered treatment compliance questionnaires (Morisky's Score), and questionnaires on the aesthetic impact of treatments (Ferriman's Score). These questionnaires will be centralized and reported to the database by the study's clinical research staff.

Minimally invasive surgery has developed widely since the 1980s and has revolutionized the practices of surgeons. In urology, the development of laparoscopy and then robot-assisted surgery has considerably improved the management of pathologies. In France, as in all the countries concerned, the spread of robotic surgery has taken place without prior studies validating this new technology, nor organizational rules in terms of quality and access to care. The report of the Haute Autorité de Santé dated November 2016 underlines the weakness of the methodological quality of studies and meta-analyzes evaluating robot-assisted total prostatectomy compared to other surgical techniques by laparotomy or conventional laparoscopy. It therefore appears important to evaluate in a large study the interest of this technique in order to help the authorities to decide on the real benefit of this technology and to provide reliable answers to the patients.

The aim of the vibration intervention proposed in the current study is to allow a better neuromotor recovery in subacute stroke patients when compared with standard rehabilitation alone. These last years, it has been proven that the solicitation of a muscle using vibrations may lead to positive effects on the neuromuscular function. Thus, the aim of the current study is to assess if the addition to a standard rehabilitation program of local vibrations sessions of the dorsiflexor muscles of the paretic limb of stroke patients may allow a better recovery of walking speed (primary outcome). One group using vibrations (i.e. experimental group) and one group with sham vibration (i.e. control group) will take part to this study.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Apneal® app in diagnosing sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) in adults who require polysomnography (PSG) as part of routine care. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can Apneal® accurately classify the SAS severity into four categories (normal: AHI \< 5, mild: 5 ≤ AHI \< 15, moderate: 15 ≤ AHI \< 30, and severe: AHI ≥ 30) compared to PSG ? * How does Apneal® perform in estimating the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), detecting sleep stages, differentiating between central and obstructive apneas, and identifying patient movements? Participants will: * Wear the Apneal® app-equipped smartphone and undergo PSG during a full night of sleep at home. * Complete several questionnaires assessing sleep symptoms and experience with the Apneal® app.

In order to set up an optimal patient path within the Group of hospitals of Loire territory, the working group composed of doctors from different specialities of the department considered it important to carry out a randomised study evaluating the effectiveness of a healthcare organisation combining: * an adapted and supervised physical activity intervention (1 month hospital initiation then 2 months in town) * therapeutic education sessions for the patient with motivational interviews Compared to usual clinical practice (adapted physical activity adapted in autonomy at home + therapeutic patient education sessions with motivational interviews).

Radiation-induced fibrosis is an equivalent of an "orphan disease", in which oncologists have only recently shown interest, despite its prevalence. No study on the medical service provided by crenotherapy has been published in late radiation-induced fibrosis, which shares a common pathophysiology and medico-psycho-social sequelae with the sequelae of burns. Chronic progressive dermatoses are part of the 12 main therapeutic orientations of medical thermalism. In particular, burn scars are a very current indication. Crenotherapy allows the attenuation, or even the disappearance of: pruritus and dysesthesia, local inflammation, hypertrophy and sclerosis and favours the recovery of chronic superficial erosions. Fibrous scars, even old ones, respond favourably to thermal treatments. The thermal treatment combines baths which have a sedative, muscle-relaxing effect and which favour joint mobilisation, sprays which have a decongestant effect and above all thread-like showers which are carried out by jets of thermal water under high pressure for several minutes. The primary endpoint is the self-assessment by the patient of the dermatological quality of life by the DLQI score at 6 months after the end of the treatment compared between the intervention group (immediate treatment) and the control group (delayed treatment after 6 months).

Despite the recognized benefits of physical activity in tertiary prevention, 60-70% of prostate cancer patients are insufficiently active. Yet 150 minutes of brisk walking per week (new WHO recommendations) is associated with a 29% reduction in cancer mortality and a 57% reduction in recurrence. Increasing patients' adherence to regular physical activity appears to be a new challenge for personalized cancer care. Personalized physical activity programmes (1) at home, (2) supported by health professionals, or (3) by peers have shown the effectiveness of regular physical activity. However, these interventions last less than 6 months and do not allow for long-term sustainability of physical activity. This study proposes to combine 3 interventions, which aim to initiate and maintain regular physical activity in prostate cancer patients: * 1-The realization of a personalized and realistic physical activity project via physical activity support devices (sport health centers) * 2-Coaching by a peer (a patient with the same disease who has reached the WHO recommendations for physical activity), who will provide motivational follow-up * 3-Support by health professionals (attending physician) through the prescription of physical activity. The feasibility of ACTI-PAIR program has been demonstrated, the investigators now wish to evaluate it effectiveness.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a common life-threatening neurological emergency in which prolonged or multiple closely spaced seizures can result in long-term impairments. SE remains associated with considerable mortality and morbidity, with little progress over the last three decades. The proportion of patients who die in the hospital is about 20% overall and 40% in patients with refractory SE. Morbidity is more difficult to evaluate, as adverse effects of SE are often difficult to differentiate from those attributed to the cause of SE. Our experience suggests that nearly 50% of patients may experience long-term functional impairments. The precise description of the consequences of these functional impairments and their impact on quality of life after SE requiring intensive care management has been little studied. Indeed, if cognitive, physical and mental impairments are now identified in the populations of patients who required intensive care under the term postresuscitation syndrome (PICS), neuronal lesions consecutive to the SE itselfor to its cause could be responsible for these different functional alterations. Thus, the following have been described: (i) cognitive disorders in the areas of attention, executive functions and verbal fluency, visual and working memory disorders, but also spatio-temporal disorders; (ii) physical disorders such as the so-called post-resuscitation polyneuromyopathy; and (iii) mental disorders such as anxiety disorders, depressive states or those related to post-traumatic stress. Assessment and characterization of patient-reported outcomes is essential to complement the holistic assessment of clinically relevant outcomes from the patient's perspective. The POSEIDON study was a cross-sectional collection of PROs and HR-QOL components, and associated with patient functional outcomes, in those who required ICU management for status epilepticus. We propose here to continue the description of potential alterations after a subsequent ME, namely a longitudinal study (POSEIDON 2) which will also include the evaluation of patient-reported experience (PREMS) and the measurement of family burden.

Mother-of-pearl is a candidate for long-term use due to the combination of its effects: calcium supplementation, anti-resorptive activity and osteoanabolic activity. Our hypothesis is that powdered mother-of-pearl supplementation limits bone loss in postmenopausal women with risk of becoming osteoporotic.
