8% vs. 0.7%, p=0.925). The safety of ULCMA PCI was excellent, and durable and bioabsorbable polymer DES provided similar clinical outcomes at 3-year follow-up. Landmark analysis revealed that the durable polymer group had a lower TLF rate from 9months. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.

Epidemiological data on secondary bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections generally include adult patients with urinary catheters. To evaluate the frequency and outcome of secondary bacteremia complicating healthcare-associated urinary tract infections. This study was conducted between May 2013 and December 2017 at the Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Hospital and included symptomatic nosocomial urinary tract infections. A total of 117 patients with positive blood cultures were enrolled in the study. Six patients had bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections yielding an incidence of 5.1%. The pathogens responsible for secondary bacteremia wereKlebsiellapneumonia in two patients, Enterococcus faecium in two patients, Klebsiellaoxytoca in one patient, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in one patient. The incidence of bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections was not different from bacteremia associated with community-acquired urinary tract infections, and was approximately 5%. The incidence of bacteremia associated with nosocomial urinary tract infections was not different from bacteremia associated with community-acquired urinary tract infections, and was approximately 5%.The 2017 Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) guidelines for the medical care of neonates born at≥34 weeks' gestation (WG) at risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) placed emphasis on clinical examination rather than laboratory tests. Were these guidelines relevant in our level-2 maternity department, and how can they affect our professional practice? Single-site observational studyof asymptomatic 35 WG neonates at risk of EONS, born in the centre hospitalier de Bigorre, with follow-up analysis during two 5-month periods (from September 2017 to January 2018, and September 2018 to January 2019), before and after the publication of the HAS guidelines. The main objective was feasibility, evaluated by checking the completion of a standardised assessment chart. The second objective was the impact of the guidelines on professional practices evaluated by the number of laboratory tests carried out during the two periods. Out of 455 births during the first period and the 396 births during the second, 78 (17,1%) and ratory procedures. Early-onset neonatal sepsis is a rare but potentially lethal infection that is very often suspected in daily practice. Previous national guidelines recommended the use of systematic paraclinical tests for healthy term newborns with suspected infection. These guidelines were updated in 2017 by the French Health Authority (Haute Autorité de santé), and promote initial clinical monitoring taking into account the infectious risk level for term and near-term born infants. To assess the impact of the new recommendations on antibiotic therapy prescription and invasive tests, and on the outcomes of infants born from 36weeks' gestation. This study compared the management and the outcome of neonates born from 36weeks' gestation at the level III University Hospital of Nancy, according to their infectious risk level during two periods, before and after the update of national recommendations from July 1 to December 31, 2017, versus July 1 to December 31, 2018. Data were retrospectively collected from the infants' fiof hospitalization was 5.7±1.7days in the first period versus 5.2±3days in the second (P=0.33). In this study, the application of the new guidelines enabled a reduction of antibiotic exposure and a reduction of invasive tests without additional risk.

This program was rolled out in three phases initial training, in situ assessment, and advanced training in selected topics. To access this program, multidisciplinary teams had to come up with a project to improve their existing palliative care and pain management practices, and commit themselves to implementing it. All the teams invited agreed to take part in the program, which explicitly broached a subject that is often avoided in oncology teaching. The first phase was rolled out in 2017, with 65 trainees from 19 units attending one of three sessions held in Dakar, Senegal, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and Rabat, Morocco. The subsequent assessment revealed that only half the teams had started to implement their projects. The advanced training phase was therefore adjusted accordingly. A collective training session held in Marseille was attended by 15 trainees from seven teams whose projects were already underway, while in situ mentoring was provided for six other teams, through French-African twinnings in four cases. The length and openness of the program meant that we were able to identify and share the units' diverse realities, and fine-tune their projects accordingly, as well as plan ways of continuing the training both locally and collectively.Meteorological parameters are important factors that have an influence on infectious diseases. The present study aimed to explore the correlation between the spread of COVID-19, temperature, and relative humidity. The effect of human-imposed control parameters in the form of lockdown on the dissipation of COVID-19 was also analysed. Data were collected on the three study variables - temperature, relative humidity, and lockdown period - from nine of the most infected cities worldwide as well as information on changes in the number of COVID-19 patients from the beginning to a specific point in the lockdown period. A generalised regression model was applied to explore the effect of temperature and relative humidity on the change in daily new cases of COVID-19. The regression analysis did not find any significant correlation between temperature, humidity, and change in number of COVID-19 cases. Analysis of the cities with wide-ranging temperature variations showed a negative correlation of COVID-19 transmission (P=0.
