[Impact of HypnoVR© with local anesthesia on pain and anxiety during oocyte pick-up].

Objective: Virtual reality with Snow World shows a 45% decrease in painful peaks during the care of burn victims. Hypnosis has anxiolytic effect and modulate the response to pain. HypnoVR© is based on many concepts recognized in medicine accessible without specific training.

SAME day amBulatory c (SAMBA): a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial protocol.

Background: A recent meta-analysis concluded that outpatient appendectomy appears feasible and safe, but there is a lack of high-quality evidence and a randomized trial is needed. The aim of this trial is to demonstrate that outpatient appendectomy is non-inferior to conventional inpatient appendectomy in terms of overall morbi-mortality on the 30th postoperative day (D30).

Methods: SAMBA is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter non-inferiority trial.

An exploratory human study investigating the influence of type 2 diabetes on macrophage phenotype after myocardial infarction.

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the primary cause of death in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their in-hospital mortality after MI is still elevated compared with those without T2D. Therefore, it is of crucial importance to identify possible mechanisms of worse clinical outcomes and mortality in T2D subjects. Monocyte/macrophage-mediated immune response plays an important role in heart remodelling to limit functional deterioration after MI.

Emergence of psychiatric adverse events during antipsychotic treatment in AP-naïve children and adolescents.

Background: Over the last decades, antipsychotic prescriptions in children have increased worldwide. However, adverse events are frequently observed, with some such as psychiatric adverse events remaining poorly documented.

Method: The French ETAPE study is a 12-month naturalistic prospective multisite study that included 190 antipsychotic-naïve pediatric patients (mean age = 12 ± 3 years), treated by antipsychotic for psychotic or non-psychotic symptoms.

Extracellular fluid volume: A suitable indexation variable to assess impact of bariatric surgery on glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) might be a nephroprotective treatment in obese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the non-linear relation between body surface area (BSA) and extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) in obese people raises the question of the most relevant way to scale glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for assessing renal function changes after BS.

Methods: We screened 1774 BS candidates and analysed 10 consecutive participants with CKD stage 3. True GFR (mGFR), measured by the renal clearance of 51Cr-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), was scaled either to BSA (mGFRBSA) or to ECFV measured by 51Cr-EDTA distribution volume (mGFRECFV) before and one year after BS.

Methotrexate treatment in hand osteoarthritis refractory to usual treatments: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Objective: To examine the effect of methotrexate (MTX) on pain and structural progression in symptomatic erosive hand osteoarthritis (HOA).

Methods: This 1-year prospective, single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (www.ClinicalTrial.

Long-Term Efficacy of Occipital Nerve Stimulation for Medically Intractable Cluster Headache.

Background: Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) has been proposed to treat refractory chronic cluster headache (rCCH) but its efficacy has only been showed in small short-term series.

Objective: To evaluate ONS long-term efficacy in rCCH.

Methods: We studied 105 patients with rCCH, treated by ONS within a multicenter ONS prospective registry.

Computed Tomography-Aortography Versus Color-Duplex Ultrasound for Surveillance of Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Prospective Multicenter Diagnostic-Accuracy Study (the ESSEA Trial).

Background Color-duplex ultrasonography (DUS) could be an alternative to computed tomography-aortography (CTA) in the lifelong surveillance of patients after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), but there is currently no level 1 evidence. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of DUS as an alternative to CTA for the follow-up of post-EVAR patients. Methods Between December 16, 2010, and June 12, 2015, we conducted a prospective, blinded, diagnostic-accuracy study, in 15 French university hospitals where EVAR was commonly performed.

Incidence of adverse events in antipsychotic-naïve children and adolescents treated with antipsychotic drugs: Results of a multicenter naturalistic study (ETAPE).

The main objective of ETAPE study was to determine the incidence of adverse events (AEs) potentially related to antipsychotic (AP) during a 12-months observational study of naturalistic treatment. ETAPE is a naturalistic prospective multicenter study conducted between April 2013 and May 2016. 200 patients were included.
