Aim: To describe a cohort of pregnant women having suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and to compare them with nonpregnant women of childbearing age having suffered OHCA.
Methods: Study data were extracted from the French National OHCA Registry between 2011 and 2021. We compared patients in terms of characteristics, care and survival.
Purpose: Health-care transition (HCT) is a necessary part of the care process for allsick adolescents, to allow their empowerment while limiting disruption to follow-up care. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) runs the risk of losing patients to follow-up because young patients are predominantly asymptomatic. This can be detrimental as it can prevent primary prevention measures from being properly implemented.

Here, we report the case of a 68-year woman, with a history of four primary cutaneous melanomas (thickest lesion with BRAF mutation removed from the left axilla 2 years before), who was diagnosed with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic melanoma and treated by ICI targeting the PD-1 receptor. Follow-up whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) was performed at 15 months, and FDG-avid subcutaneous nodules on her legs were detected.
