The intervention: Promoting healthy lifestyles during routine older people's mental healthcare.

Objective: Lifestyle is an important determinant of health. The intervention allows mental health clinicians to address lifestyle during routine mental health encounters.

Method: Clinicians were taught how to encourage consumers to learn more about lifestyle and health; consider their own lifestyle and health using a self-rated health and wellness questionnaire (HAWQ) and helped them decide which out of six health domains (physical, mental and social activity, healthy eating, mental wellbeing and positive thinking) should be improved in small, sustainable steps using a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timed) goal-setting template.

Measurable therapeutic antibody in serum as potential predictive factor of response to anti-CD38 therapy in non-IgG-k myeloma patients.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by abnormal plasma cell proliferation in the bone marrow. Recent advancements in anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody therapies, such as daratumumab and isatuximab, have significantly improved MM patient survival. However, the lack of predictive factors of response to these therapies remains a challenge.

The core outcomes for open lower limb fracture study.

Aims: A core outcome set for adult, open lower limb fracture has been established consisting of 'Walking, gait and mobility', 'Being able to return to life roles', 'Pain or discomfort', and 'Quality of life'. This study aims to identify which outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) should be recommended to measure each core outcome.

Methods: A systematic review and quality assessment were conducted to identify existing instruments with evidence of good measurement properties in the open lower limb fracture population for each core outcome.

Development of a core outcome set for open lower limb fracture.

Open lower limb fracture is life-changing, resulting in substantial morbidity and resource demand, while inconsistent outcome-reporting hampers systematic review and meta-analysis. A core outcome set establishes consensus among key stakeholders for the recommendation of a minimum set of outcomes. This study aims to define a core outcome set for adult open lower limb fracture.

What outcomes have been reported on patients following open lower limb fracture, and how have they been measured?

Open lower limb fracture is a life-changing injury affecting 11.5 per 100,000 adults each year, and causes significant morbidity and resource demand on trauma infrastructures. This study aims to identify what, and how, outcomes have been reported for people following open lower limb fracture over ten years.

Are multiple-use bottles of chlorhexidine solutions at risk of contamination in joint replacement surgery?

Introduction: Chlorhexidine gluconate 2% w/v in isopropanol 70% solutions in multiple-use bottles is commonly used in surgery as a cost-effective method for skin disinfection. However, multiple-use bottles risk contamination. This study aims to test whether bacterial contamination of multiple-use bottles or their solutions occurs once open and on use between different patients.

Integrated multidisciplinary approach to hidradenitis suppurativa in clinical practice,

Background: The European hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) guidelines recommend a multidisciplinary approach for patients with HS and management of comorbidities.

Objective: We aimed to describe the organization of a multidisciplinary HS program and characterize the patient population.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients with HS undergoing prospectively defined multidisciplinary work-up including examinations by a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, smoking specialist, and nutritionist in our outpatient unit between October 2015 and January 2017.

Neuromelioidosis: Craniospinal MRI Findings in Burkholderia pseudomallei Infection.

Purpose: To investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of central nervous system (CNS) infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 10 patients (5 male and 5 female, age range from 13 to 69 years) with CNS melioidosis confirmed on culture of blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, brain biopsy, and postmortem brain tissue. Clinical data were collected and MRI brain and/or spine were independently reviewed.

Neurologic melioidosis.

Melioidosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in northern Australia and Southeast Asia. Diagnosis is best made by isolation of Burkholderia pseudomallei from clinical specimens. A variety of clinical presentations are described, including neurologic disease.

Nickel-induced systemic contact dermatitis and intratubal implants: the baboon syndrome revisited.

Permanent sterilization using intratubal implants is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. We report the first case of a 40-year-old woman presenting a systemic contact dermatitis due to nickel-containing intratubal implants: the Essure system. The diagnosis was confirmed with positive patch test result for nickel and total clearance of dermatitis after removing the implants that contain a metallic spiral of nitinol (alloy of 55% nickel and 45% titanium).

Longitudinal study of body composition of 101 HIV men with lipodystrophy: dual-energy X-ray criteria for lipodystrophy evolution.

The aim of this study was to define evolution profiles of body composition among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected men with lipodystrophy. The design is a retrospective analysis using observational data collected longitudinally. We included 101 HIV-infected men with lipodystrophy managed in routine practice and who had 2 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scans within a minimum interval of 18 mo.

Imiquimod 5% cream for external genital or perianal warts in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy: an open-label, noncomparative study.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ patients have an increased risk of anogenital warts. High-risk (HR) human papillomaviruses (HPVs), especially types 16 and 18, are major risk factors for precancerous and cancerous lesions of the anogenital tract, while low-risk (LR) HPVs are associated with benign lesions. Cure of genital warts with ablative techniques, surgical excision, podophyllotoxin or trichloroacetic acid is frequently difficult.

Human immunodeficiency virus atropy induces modification of subcutaneous adipose tissue architecture: in vivo visualization by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection generally induces lipodystrophy. For targeted treatment a better understanding of its development is necessary. The utility of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is explored.

Impact of HIV infection on total body composition in treatment-naive men evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry comparison of 90 untreated HIV-infected men to 241 controls.

The aim of this study was to establish the contribution of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) itself on body composition changes evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Body composition evaluated by DXA in 90 HIV never treated men, without comorbidity, or current or past opportunistic infections were compared with 241 healthy volunteers. The mean duration of seropositivity from HIV diagnosis was 41+/-62 mo, mean CD4 and viral load at the time of DXA were 402/mm(3)+/-263 (control values 500-1200/mm(3)) and 4.

[Analysis of antiretroviral drugs-induced adverse effects].

In 1999, The Regional Center of Pharmacogilance and the Department of Infectious Disease of the Toulouse University Hospital set up a system to improve the data collection about antiretroviral-induced adverse reactionss (ADRs). From November 1999 to April 2003, a resident of pharmacovigilance collected ADRs reported with antiretroviral drugs during 2 weekly medical consultations. A total of 613 ADRs corresponding to 428 patients were reported, classified as "non serious" in 88.
