To develop a composite score able to predict the awakening of coma patients following a severe cranial trauma. This composite score will be built from the results of the multimodal MRI (quantified indicator) in combination with clinical covariables e.g. age of the patient, the mechanism of the accident (high versus low speed), initial Glasgow score, clinical examination data at time of MRI and comorbidities. The composite score will aim to predict the outcome of patients at 1 year, evaluated by one of the following three categories: favourable outcome (GOS 3+, 4, and 5) and unfavourable outcome (GOS 1, 2, and 3-). The GOS 3- score has been defined as severe disability with minimally conscious state and GOS 3+ score as severe disability excluding cognitive sequelae. - To evaluate the relevance of the composite score to predict the clinical outcome at 1 year assessed by the Rankin score, GOS and the disability rating scale (DRS). - To analyse intra and inter-observer reproducibility study of the analysis of the various sequences.

Steering guide for the disabled public

General Objective 1. To describe treatment methods in France for 1,360 patients with colorectal cancer diagnosed between 2006 and 2008 2. To describe overall survival at 5 years according to initial treatment methods Secondary objectives: - To describe target populations and chemotherapy usage patterns; - To describe usage patterns for different centres; - To describe the "outcomes" after 12, 36 and 60 months: progression-free survival and quality of life.

In the area of public health:
(1) monitor the change in the prevalence of severe deficiencies in children on a geographical basis (three counties starting in 2005)
(2) monitor the change in the rate of stillbirths and more particularly of the prevalence of induced abortions for medical reasons over the same geographical base
(3) describe the educative and medical care
(4) assist in the planning of needs, in order to ensure optimal care for these children
In the area of research:
(1) encourage analytical surveys that are specific to each type of deficiency, or that cover the associated deficiencies
(2) identify the etiologies of the deficiencies and serious perinatal events
(3) Collect information on the perinatal events that may be in relation with the occurence of deficiencies
