Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to explore the changes in epidemiological, clinical and laboratory characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) over a 12-year period in this area. Methods: The medical records of KD patients hospitalized in the Children’s Hospital of Soochow University from January 2006 to December 2017 were retrospecti...
La pratique d’activité physique sportive ‘APS’ est un facteur de santé. Le sport est une forme d’activité physique ‘AP’ qui aide à atteindre les taux recommandés journaliers. Des plans de promotion des APS sont adoptés par les Etats Européens. Mais la pratique sportive recèle aussi des risques. Certaines blessures sportives génèrent des troubles de...

Background: Epilepsy is a chronic disorder affecting all ages but with a peak in the elderly. The association of epilepsy with age can be explained by the predominance of brain diseases with epileptogenic potential (mostly stroke and dementia) and by the effects of the aging process through a number of molecular mechanisms involving networks of neu...

Pathogen transmission is a key process in epidemiology and its mathematical form plays a pivotal role when modeling pathogen spread. Much work has been devoted to the transmission function applied to a homogeneous population structure. However, between-group transmission functions, required when different groups are identified to account for a dist...
