[Are cancer outpatients ready for e-medicine?].

Introduction: E-health offers new opportunities for improving cancer outpatients' monitoring. The aim of this study was to assess the level and the use of electronic communication tools owned by cancer outpatients currently undergoing antitumoral treatment.

Methods: This observational study consecutively recruited patients undergoing treatment at two day hospital oncology units from 1st to 31 October 2015.

An algorithmic programming approach for back pain symptoms in failed back surgery syndrome using spinal cord stimulation with a multicolumn surgically implanted epidural lead: a multicenter international prospective study.

Introduction: Many studies have demonstrated the efficacy and the medical/economic value of epidural spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of "failed back surgery syndrome" (FBSS). However, the back pain component of FBSS has been recalcitrant. Recent clinical trials have suggested that multicolumn surgically implanted leads combined with enhanced programming capabilities in the newer implantable pulse generators demonstrate the ability to treat the back pain component of FBSS.
