Pregnancy outcomes in women with primary Sjögren's syndrome: an analysis of data from the multicentre, prospective, GR2 study.

Background: Adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with primary Sjögren's syndrome have only been evaluated retrospectively using heterogeneous methods and with contradictory results. We aimed to describe adverse pregnancy, delivery, and birth outcome risks in pregnant women with primary Sjögren's syndrome compared with those of a matched general population in France, and to identify factors predictive of disease flares or adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a multicentre, prospective, cohort study in France using the GR2 (Groupe de Recherche sur la Grossesse et les Maladies Rares) registry.

Prognostic Factors and Treatment Efficacy in Spinal Cord Sarcoidosis: An Observational Cohort With Long-term Follow-up.

Background And Objectives: Spinal cord sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis with a consequent risk of neurologic sequelae for the patient. We investigated prognostic factors and efficacy of immunosuppressive treatments in a longitudinal cohort.

Methods: We retrospectively studied patients with spinal cord sarcoidosis followed between 1995 and 2021 in 7 centers in France.

White blood count, D-dimers, and ferritin levels as predictive factors of pulmonary embolism suspected upon admission in noncritically ill COVID-19 patients: The French multicenter CLOTVID retrospective study.

Background: A high prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) has been described during COVID-19. Our aim was to identify predictive factors of PE in non-ICU hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Methods: Data and outcomes were collected upon admission during a French multicenter retrospective study, including patients hospitalized for COVID-19, with a CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) performed in the emergency department for suspected PE.

D-Dimer Level and Neutrophils Count as Predictive and Prognostic Factors of Pulmonary Embolism in Severe Non-ICU COVID-19 Patients.

The incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) is high during severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to identify predictive and prognostic factors of PE in non-ICU hospitalized COVID-19 patients. In the retrospective multicenter observational CLOTVID cohort, we enrolled patients with confirmed RT-PCR COVID-19 who were hospitalized in a medicine ward and also underwent a CT pulmonary angiography for a PE suspicion.

Extra-haematological manifestations related to human parvovirus B19 infection: retrospective study in 25 adults.

Background: To describe extra-haematological manifestations associated with human parvovirus B19 (HPV-B19) infection.

Methods: We conducted a nationwide multicentre study to retrospectively describe the characteristics and outcome of extra-haematological manifestations in French adults.

Results: Data from 25 patients followed from 2001 to 2016 were analysed.

[A giant cell arteritis revealing a Goodpasture's syndrome].

Goodpasture's syndrome is a triad of anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) circulating antibodies, glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage. We reported a 65-year-old woman with headaches, asthenia and weight loss. Giant cell arteritis was confirmed by temporal artery biopsy.

Clinical features and prognostic factors of spinal cord sarcoidosis: a multicenter observational study of 20 BIOPSY-PROVEN patients.

Sarcoidosis of the spinal cord is a rare disease. The aims of this study are to describe the features of spinal cord sarcoidosis (SCS) and identify prognostic markers. We analyzed 20 patients over a 20-year period in 8 French hospitals.

Etanercept may induce neurosarcoidosis in a patient treated for rheumatoid arthritis.

Background: TNFα blockers have drastically improved rheumatoid arthritis prognosis by preventing joint destruction in DMARD resistant patients. Altering cytokine balance in immune diseases may expose to paradoxical adverse events.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 40-year-old woman, with a confirmed erosive and seropositive RA, successfully treated by TNFα blocker (etanercept) for seven years, and who developed a severe neurosarcoidosis.

[Preventable drug events in acute geriatric unit].

Unlabelled: The study was performed on 313 patients hospitalized in an acute geriatric unit during a six-month period and aimed at determine the prevalence of adverse drug events (ADE) and the preventability of them.

Methods: ADE were determined by the medical information unit. Preventability was determined by inadequacy with standards of care, medication-related factors (non respect of contra-indication) and explicit lists of harmful medication in the elderly.

[Thrombotic microangiopathy with anti-ADAMTS 13 antibodies revealing an acute Q fever].

Introduction: Q fever can commonly mimic systemic diseases, leading to several immunological manifestations. Thrombotic micro-angiopathies manifest as a spectrum of related disorders in the form of thrombocytopenic purpura and hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Case Report: We report a 77-year-old woman, who presented an acquired thrombotic microangiopathy with renal expression associated with the presence of anti-ADAMTS 13 antibodies, which occurred during an acute infection by Coxiella burnetii (acute Q fever).

De novo kidney graft tumors: results from a multicentric retrospective national study.

De novo tumors in renal allografts are rare and their prevalence is underestimated. We therefore analyzed renal cell carcinomas arising in renal allografts through a retrospective French renal transplant cohort. We performed a retrospective, multicentric survey by sending questionnaires to all French kidney transplantation centers.

Unusual evolution in Wegener's granulomatosis: recovery of pulmonary involvement while renal disease progressed to end-stage.

A 54-year-old male patient was admitted for acute respiratory distress with fever. He was suffering from chronic sinusitis/rhinitis and had persistent otitis for the past 2 months before admission despite several antibiotics courses. He developed a complex pulmonary involvement (embolism and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage) with acute glomerular disease (proteinuria and hematuria but initially no renal failure).

[Adult celiac disease with thrombosis: a case series of seven patients. Role of thrombophilic factors].

Purpose: Thrombotic events may occur in celiac disease. In this study, we analyzed clinical features and risk factors for thrombosis in seven patients who had celiac disease and thrombosis.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 87 patients with adult celiac disease and identified seven cases of thrombosis.

[Unusual pulmonary presentation of lysinuric protein intolerance].

A 28-year-old girl suffering from lysinuric protein intolerance was referred on account of severe chronic respiratory failure. Since childhood she had failure to thrive with chronic hyperammonaemia and interstitial lung disease but normal respiratory function. At the age of 21, she experienced haemoptysis and worsening of the respiratory disease.
