Background: While numerous antimicrobial stewardship programs aim to decrease inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions, evidence of their positive impact is needed to optimize future interventions.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate 2 multifaceted antibiotic stewardship interventions for inappropriate systemic antibiotic prescription in primary care.
Methods: An open-label, cluster-randomized controlled trial of 2501 general practitioners (GPs) working in western France was conducted from July 2019 to January 2021.
Objective: To compare healthcare use and the number of days of sickness benefits between people with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury who received physiotherapy before and after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and those who received physiotherapy after ACLR only. Secondary aim: to measure the association between the volume of preoperative healthcare and post-ACLR recovery.
Methods: Each individual's care pathway was extracted from a section of the French National Health Data System (SNDS) database (province: Pays de La Loire).
The Enteric Nervous System is composed of a vastly interconnected network of neurons and glial cells that coordinate to regulate homeostatic gut function including intestinal motility, nutrient sensing, and mucosal barrier immunity. Enteric Glial Cells (EGCs) are a heterogeneous cell population located throughout the gastrointestinal tract and have well described roles in regulating intestinal immune responses. Enteric Glial Cells have been suggested to act as nonconventional antigen presenting cells via the Major Histocompatibility Complex II (MHC II), though this has not been confirmed functionally.

Methods: A three-armed cluster randomized control trial was conducted in France between January 8 and July 2, 2021, involving148 510 women aged 40 to 65 and 1070 general practitioners. In the Optimized screening group, an invitation letter was posted to non-adherent women, and general practitioners were sent a list of their non-adherent patients.
Background: Dexmedetomidine is increasingly used for its ability to stabilise haemodynamic status during general anaesthesia. However, there is currently no data on paediatric kidney transplant recipients (pKTR). This study investigates the haemodynamic impact of dexmedetomidine administered perioperatively in pKTR.
