OBJECTIVES |
To describe trends of gross and specific mortality rates for all five countries of the Great Maghreb and to identify the typology and the main causes of death during the period 1990-2015. |
METHODS |
This is an observational and descriptive study of causes of death in the Great Maghreb (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania and Libya) using the database Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). Causes of death were categorized according to the IHME into three categor... |
RESULTS |
During the period 1990-2015, the general trend in gross mortality rates was going down, reaching in 2015 rates that varied from 547/100 000 inhabitants in Tunisia to 437/100 000 inhabitants in Algeria. The trend in specific mortality from Communicable Diseases has been declining, particularly in Mauritania. Among the "... |
CONCLUSION |
This analysis of causes of death in the Great Maghreb confirmed the similarity of the epidemiological transition and health priorities. Hence the urgency of developing common North African strategies for monitoring, training and intervention in public health.Trends in list prices, net prices, and discounts of self-admi... |
BACKGROUND: List prices of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors drastically increased during the last decade, but previous research has shown that half of these increases were offset by rising manufacturer discounts. It remains unclear to what extent manufacturers' discounts have offset increases in list prices of ea... |
A comprehensive, interchangeable, low-contact-stress, mobile-bearing knee prosthesis system was developed and used over a 12-year period with both cemented and cementless fixation.

PURPOSE |
Preprocedural computed tomography (CT) imaging before transcatheter aortic valve implantation/replacement (TAVI/TAVR) requires high diagnostic accuracy without motion artifacts. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the image quality of a high-pitch non-electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CT protocol used in p... |
MATERIALS AND METHODS |
We retrospectively included 108 patients who underwent preprocedural CT imaging before TAVI/TAVR. 52 patients with sinus rhythm were imaged using a prospectively ECG-gated protocol (Group A), and 56 patients with atrial tachyarrhythmias were imaged using the high-pitch non-ECG-gated protocol (Group B). Image quality w... |
RESULTS |
Subjective image quality was equally good with both CT protocols, and interrater agreement was substantial in both groups but tended to be higher in Group B at the level of the aortic root (Group A: κw = 0.644, Group B: κw = 0.741). With the high-pitch non-ECG-gated CT protocol, image noise was significantly increased... |
CONCLUSION |
The high-pitch non-ECG-gated protocol yields images with similar subjective image quality compared with the prospectively ECG-gated CT protocol and allows motion-free assessment of the aortic root for accurate TAVI/TAVR planning. The high-pitch non-ECG-gated protocol may be used as an alternative for preprocedural CT ... |
KEY POINTS |
· In patients with atrial tachyarrhythmias, a high-pitch non-ECG-gated CT protocol achieves similar subjective image quality compared to a prospective ECG-gated CT protocol.. · At the level of the aortic root, image noise is significantly increased, whereas SNR and CNR are significantly decreased using the high-pitch... |
