Single-stage surgery with antibiotic-loaded hydrogel-coated implants versus two-stage surgery for chronic periprosthetic hip joint infection in French tertiary referral hospitals: the SINBIOSE-H non-inferiority, randomised, controlled trial study protocol.

Introduction: Chronic hip prosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment needs non-conservative surgery. The recommended treatment follows a two-stage protocol. Between the two surgeries, full-weight bearing is prohibited, and joint stiffness and pain are rather usual complications.

Management of urosymphyseal fistula and pubic bone osteomyelitis: Description of a new surgical technique by cystectomy, urinary diversion and pelvic filling flap by unilateral pedicled myocutaneous vertical rectus abdominus muscle flap.

Pubic bone osteomyelitis is a rare infection, mostly related to urinary fistula. The published data about the medical or surgical management of this type of infection is relatively poor. In this case study of three patients, we describe our surgical technique for the management of urosymphyseal fistula complicated with pubic bone infection using pelvic filling flap by unilateral pedicled myocutaneous vertical rectus abdominus muscle flap.

Bicentric retrospective study comparing the postoperative outcomes of patients treated surgically for bladder stones with or without concomitant surgery for BPH.

Purpose: To compare the postoperative outcomes of male patients who underwent bladder stone (BS) removal, with or without concomitant benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgery.

Patients And Methods: All men aged > 50 years who underwent BS removal at two French university hospitals between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Four binary outcome criteria were identified during the follow-up: early postoperative complications, stone recurrence, subsequent surgery for BS or BPH, and late surgical complications.

Algorithm development for low level radioxenon 2D spectra analysis: A first case of study using spectral unmixing for a β-γ detector.

In the scope of the verification regime of the Comprehensive nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the CEA/DAM is developing new β-γ measurement systems. In order to improve the analysis methods at low statistics, a new multiplicative spectral unmixing algorithm for full-spectrum analysis was tested on a particular setup for different types of mixtures. The reconstructed activities for simulated spectra and the characteristic limits found with this algorithm are compared to the classic ROI analysis method.
