Allogeneic transplantation of haematopoietic stem cells is still the only curative treatment for certain haematological malignancies. This treatment can be responsible for a number of side-effects, leading to multiple and interdependent physical and psychological deficiencies that affect patients' quality of life and social participation, and can be experienced as a handicap, sometimes for several years after the transplant. For several years now, the integration of post-transplant rehabilitation pathways has been becoming more widespread, and initiatives to provide multidisciplinary care at an increasingly early stage are being studied.

Background: Obstructive coronary artery disease is the main cause of death worldwide. By tracking events and gaining feedback on patient management, the most relevant information is provided to public health services to further improve prognosis.

Aims: To create an inclusive and accurate registry of all percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures performed in France, to assess and improve the quality of care and create research incentives.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyse delays in emergency medical system transfer of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres according to transport modality in a rural French region.

Methods And Results: Data from the prospective multicentre CRAC / France PCI registry were analysed for 1911 STEMI patients: 410 transferred by helicopter and 1501 by ground transport. The primary endpoint was the percentage of transfers with first medical contact to primary percutaneous coronary intervention within the 90 minutes recommended in guidelines.

Prism adaptation (PA) is a promising treatment in the rehabilitation of post-stroke cognitive disorders such as unilateral spatial neglect or constructional deficits. Right brain damage can bring about another representational spatial disorder, termed «hyperschematia», and defined by a left-sided disproportionate expansion of drawings by copy and from memory, and by an overestimation of left lateral extent when a leftward movement is required. This case study aimed at evaluating the effect of PA induced by prismatic lenses creating a shift to the left on hyperschematia signs.

Background: It is critical to minimize the time between the first medical contact and primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Aims: To identify factors associated with a delay of>120min between first medical contact and primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Methods: Data were analysed from a regional French registry of patients undergoing coronary angioplasty for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction<24h after symptom onset.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a dehabilitating chronic condition occurring with peripheral lesions. There is growing consensus for a central contribution to CRPS. Although the nature of this central body representation disorder is increasingly debated, it has been repeatedly argued that CRPS results in motor neglect of the affected side.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is an invalidating chronic condition subsequent to peripheral lesions. There is growing consensus for a central contribution to CRPS. However, the nature of this central body representation disorder is increasingly debated.

Adaptation to right-deviating prisms is a promising intervention for the rehabilitation of patients with left spatial neglect. In order to test the lateral specificity of prism adaptation on left neglect, the present study evaluated the effect of left-deviating prism on straight-ahead pointing movements and on several classical neuropsychological tests in a group of five right brain-damaged patients with left spatial neglect. A group of healthy subjects was also included for comparison purposes.
