Efficacy and safety of recombinant activated factor VII in Glanzmann thrombasthenia: A systematic literature review.

Background: Platelet transfusion is considered the standard treatment for preventing or controlling severe haemorrhage in Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT). However, platelet transfusion can have detrimental effects, including the production of anti-GPIIb/IIIa isoantibodies or anti-HLA antibodies (Ab) and platelet transfusion refractoriness. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) has been proposed as an alternative treatment to platelet transfusion.

[General practice and occupational medicine: a dynamic exchange?].

A DYNAMIC EXCHANGE? Occupational physicians and general practitioners have different roles but share the common goal of maintaining and promoting the health of the population. Their collaboration is necessary, and both practitioners and employees are generally in favor of it. This collaboration is particularly necessary in several situations: the discovery of a pathology by the occupational physician, the need for temporary incapacity, or difficulties in maintaining employment.

Effectiveness of coordinated care to reduce the risk of prolonged disability among patients suffering from subacute or recurrent acute low back pain in primary care: protocol of the CO.LOMB cluster-randomized, controlled study.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal condition and, globally, a leading cause of years lived with disability. It leads to reduced social participation, impaired quality of life, and direct and indirect costs due to work incapacity. A coordinated approach focusing on psychosocial risk factors, active reeducation, and the early use of tools to maintain employment, may be effective for improving prognosis of patients with LBP.

Impact of Graft Function on Health Status and Quality of Life in Very Long-Term Survivors Who Received an HSCT for Inborn Errors of Immunity, a Prospective Study of the CEREDIH.

The overall survival rate after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for inborn errors of immunity (IEI) has improved considerably, and its indications have broadened. As a consequence, addressing the issue of long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has become crucial. Our study focuses on the health and HRQoL of post-HSCT survivors.

Metastatic Melanoma in Young Child.

A national media mass campaign improves beliefs and behaviours about low back pain in the general population and in general practitioners.

Introduction: Previous international mass-media campaigns for low back pain (LBP) have had conflicting impacts on the general population. The objective was to evaluate the impact of a national back pain campaign conducted between 2017 and 2019 on beliefs and behaviours of general practitioners and the general population in France.

Methods: Between 2017 and 2019, a mass-media campaign was used to disseminate positive messages about LBP using several media, along with a parallel campaign addressed to general practitioners.

Association between reported work in cold environments and stroke occurrence in the CONSTANCES cohort: a prospective study.

Objective: Cold environments are a potential risk factor for stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between performing work tasks in cold environments and the occurrence of a first stroke event.

Methods: From the French population-based cohort CONSTANCES ('' in French), we collected data from baseline questionnaires along with medical interviews on cardiovascular risk factors and reported exposure to cold temperatures (<10°C) at work.

[French translation and adaptation of the "Return to Work Self-Efficacy' Scale - 11 items" in patients diagnosed with a cancer].

Introduction: The self-efficacy to return to work is a major psychological factor of the return to work of patients diagnosed with a cancer. However, french investigations in this field do not take this dimension into account due to the lack of a suitable tool for its assessment. The objective of this study was to provide a french translation and adaptation of the "Return to Work Self-Efficacy' scale - 11 items" (RTWSE-11), validated in dutch language in its original version.

Effects of COVID-19 lockdown on low back pain intensity in chronic low back pain patients: results of the multicenter CONFI-LOMB study.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic and the extended lockdown are associated with numerous changes in behavior and lifestyles. The objective was to assess the impact of the first lockdown on LBP course among chronic LBP patients.

Methods: Descriptive and analytical, cross-sectional, multicenter study, conducted by questionnaire from mid-May to end of June 2020 among patients treated for chronic LBP in 6 French and 1 Swiss center.

Pre-return to work consultation and therapeutic part-time work: Cross-sectional study on level of knowledge and use by general practitioners in France.

Background: In France, general practitioners (GPs) may use two tools specifically designed to help employees who experience difficulties in returning to work after sick leave: the pre-return-to-work (PRW) medical consultation and therapeutic part-time (TPT) work.

Objectives: The objective was to investigate the level of knowledge and use of these two tools by GPs in Maine-et-Loire, France.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed using a telephone questionnaire to evaluate the level of knowledge of GPs and the use of these two tools in patients having difficulties returning to work.

Rehabilitation and lumbar surgery: the French recommendations for clinical practice.

Background: Indications and techniques of rehabilitation differ widely across types of lumbar surgery, including timing (before or after surgery) and prescriptions (surgeons but also medical or paramedical professionals).

Objectives: This project aimed to build consensual recommendations for practice in this context.

Methods: The SOFMER methodology was used to establish recommendations for physical medicine and rehabilitation: a steering committee defined the types of lumbar surgery involved and developed the main questions to be addressed; a scientific committee performed a literature review for grading evidence and proposed the first version of recommendations, which were discussed during a dedicated session at the national Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine congress; then an e-Delphi method with cross-professional experts was used to finalise recommendations and reach a multidisciplinary consensus.

The Quebec Questionnaire of Representations related to Work Disability (QRWoD): Cross-cultural adaptation, validity and reliability in French chronic low back pain workers.

Background: Addressing chronic low back pain (cLBP) from the point of view of representation allows better understanding the behaviors associated with it and thus improve its medical and socio-occupational management. The Quebec Questionnaire of Representations related to Work Disability (QRWoD) proposes an evaluation of 9 dimensions of the cLBP-related representation.

Objective: To translate and adapt the QRoWD to French language and assess its validity and reliability in French cLBP workers on prolonged sick leave.

Clinical guidelines and care pathway for management of low back pain with or without radicular pain.

Objective: To develop guidelines for low back pain management according to previous international guidelines and the updated literature.

Methods: A report was compiled from a review of systematic reviews of guidelines published between 2013 and 2018 and meta-analysis of the management of low back pain published between 2015 and 2018.

Return-to-work, disabilities and occupational health in the age of COVID-19.

We have read with great interest the two editorials by Burdorf et al: "The COVID-19 pandemic: one year later - an occupational perspective" (1) and "The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic: consequences for occupational health" (2). The authors highlight the importance of the societal consequences of the outbreak and changes in the world of work to manage occupational health. The key points identified - such as individual socio-economic factors, psychological effects and occupations with highest risk of contamination - modify return-to-work approaches.
