Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to differentiate infectious aortitis (IA) from noninfectious aortitis (NIA) by examining their clinical, biological, and radiological features, along with their outcomes in a retrospective analysis of 183 patients from 10 French centers between 2014 and 2019.
  • - Results showed that 36.1% of patients had IA, primarily caused by bacteria like Enterobacterales and streptococci, while NIA was mainly due to vasculitides and idiopathic causes; IA was notably linked to a higher prevalence of aortic aneurysms and lower survival rates.
  • - The study concluded that IA had significantly higher mortality compared to NIA, with effective initial antibiotic treatment being

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the survival and freedom from reinfection for patients with infected native aortic aneurysms (INAAs) treated with in situ revascularization (ISR), using either open surgical repair (OSR) or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and to identify the predictors of outcome.

Methods: Patients with INAAs who had undergone ISR from January 2005 to December 2020 were included in the present retrospective single-center study. The diagnosis of INAAs required a combination of two or more of the following criteria: (1) clinical presentation, (2) laboratory results, (3) imaging findings, and (4) intraoperative findings.

One third of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) has below the knee lesions and requires a restoration of direct blood flow into the foot. However, many of these patients are ineligible for open surgery. The primary goals thus become pain relief and limb salvage over patency.

Objective: To make evidence-based recommendations for the postpartum management of women and their newborns, regardless of the mode of delivery.

Material And Methods: Systematic review of articles from the PubMed database and the Cochrane Library and of recommendations from the French and foreign societies or colleges of obstetricians.

Results: Because breast-feeding is associated with reductions in neonatal, infantile, and childhood morbidity (lower frequency of cardiovascular, infectious, and atopic diseases and infantile obesity) (LE2) and improved cognitive development in children (LE2), exclusive and extended breastfeeding is recommended (grade B) for at least 4-6 months (professional consensus).

Objective: Provide guidelines for clinical practice concerning postpartum rehabilitation.

Methods: Systematically review of the literature concerning postpartum pelvic floor muscle training and abdominal rehabilitation.

Results: Pelvic-floor rehabilitation using pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises is recommended to treat persistent urinary incontinence at 3 months postpartum (grade A), regardless of the type of incontinence.

Objective: To determine the post-partum management of women and their newborn whatever the mode of delivery.

Material And Methods: The PubMed database, the Cochrane Library and the recommendations from the French and foreign obstetrical societies or colleges have been consulted.

Results: Because breastfeeding is associated with a decrease in neonatal morbidity (lower frequency of cardiovascular diseases, infectious, atopic or infantile obesity) (EL2) and an improvement in the cognitive development of children (EL2), exclusive and extended breastfeeding is recommended (grade B) between 4 to 6 months (Professional consensus).

Objective: Assessing the impact of perineal rehabilitation and massage on perineal pain and dyspareunia in the postpartum period, between 15days and 12months after delivery.

Methods: We conducted an exhaustive review of the literature concerning pelvic floor rehabilitation in the postpartum between 1987 and May 2015, grading data by levels of evidence (LOE) according to the methodology recommendations for clinical guidelines.

Results: Pelvic floor rehabilitation in the postpartum is not associated with a decreased prevalence of perineal pain and dyspareunia at 1year (LOE3).
