Prognostic Impact of Neutropenia Recovery and G-CSF Use in Onco-Hematological Neutropenic Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Unit for Acute Respiratory Failure: A Retrospective, Real World Analysis.

Introduction: The effect of neutropenia and the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in critically ill patients with cancer are controversial, notably in those with lung injury. Neutropenia recovery can be associated with an acute respiratory failure (ARF) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, especially when G-CSF is administered.

Methods: In a single-center retrospective study, we evaluated (1) the effect of neutropenia recovery on the 90-day mortality and (2) the impact of G-CSF use on the outcome of patients with cancer and neutropenia with ARF admitted to the ICU.

Risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer in the era of ERAS protocols: A retrospective observational study.

Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is a major surgery associated with a high morbidity rate. Perioperative fluid management according to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aims to maintain patients in an optimal euvolemic state while exposing them to acute kidney injury (AKI) in the event of hypovolemia. Postoperative AKI is associated with severe morbidity and mortality.

Impact of Power Output on Muscle Activation and 3D Kinematics During an Incremental Test to Exhaustion in Professional Cyclists.

This study aimed to quantify the influence of an increase in power output (PO) on joint kinematics and electromyographic (EMG) activity during an incremental test to exhaustion for a population of professional cyclists. The hip flexion/extension and internal/external rotation as well as knee abduction/adduction ranges of motion were significantly decreased at 100% of the maximal aerobic power (MAP). EMG analysis revealed a significant increase in the root mean square (RMS) for all muscles from 70% of the MAP.

Location of ischemia and ischemic pain intensity affect spatiotemporal parameters and leg muscles activity during walking in patients with intermittent claudication.

The ways in which locations of ischemia and ischemic pain affect spatiotemporal gait parameters and leg electromyographic activity during walking have never been investigated in patients with peripheral arterial disease presenting intermittent claudication. Two groups were classified according to unilateral location of ischemia (distal, n = 10, or proximo-distal, n = 12). Patients described pain and three gait phases-initial pain-free, onset of pain and maximum pain-were analyzed.

Gait alterations in patient with intermittent claudication: Effect of unilateral vs bilateral ischemia.

Background: We seek to evaluate whether ischemia extent (unilateral or bilateral) impacts spatiotemporal and neuromuscular gait parameters differently in patients with peripheral arterial disease and presenting intermittent claudication (PAD-IC).

Methods: Two groups of PAD-IC patients: unilateral (Unilat-IC; n = 15), bilateral (Bilat-IC; n = 15) and a group of control subjects with similar risk factors (n = 15) were evaluated during a constant load treadmill walking test. Spatiotemporal parameters and neuromuscular activation in tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius medialis were recorded.

Interactions among obesity and age-related effects on the gait pattern and muscle activity across the ankle joint.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to investigate the combined effects of age and obesity on gait and to analyze the relationship between age and obesity on ankle muscle activities during walking.

Materials And Methods: 4 groups; the young non-obese control group (CG, n = 50, age = 31.8 ± 4.

PhysIOpathology of NEuromuscular function rElated to fatigue in chronic Renal disease in the elderly (PIONEER): study protocol.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is associated with reduced muscular strength resulting in profound fatigue. The physiopathology of these changes, their prevalence and evolution are still debated. Moreover, we have little data on elderly CKD patients.

EVAN-G score in patients undergoing minimally invasive gynecology oncologic surgery in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program.

Introduction: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has been proven to decrease the length of hospital stay without increasing re-admission rates or complications. There are limited data on the satisfaction of patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic malignancy within ERAS programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction after minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic malignancy within the ERAS program using the 'Evaluation du Vécu de l'Anésthésie Génerale (EVAN-G)' questionnaire.

Intraoperative Hemorrhagic Shock in Cancer Surgical Patients: Short and Long-Term Mortality and Associated Factors.
