Aim: To evaluate R0/R1 resection rate in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) treated with aflibercept plus FOLFIRI after failure of a prior oxaliplatin-based regimen in daily clinical practice.

Methods: This French, multicentre, prospective, observational cohort (NCT05178745) included patients with CLM (alone or predominant; up to 5 lung nodules <2 cm allowed) initiating aflibercept plus FOLFIRI every 2 weeks per physician choice. Primary endpoint was R0/R1 resection rate.

Assessment of Surgical Competences for Neck Dissection and Total Laryngectomy on Revascularized Cadaver Models: Onco-Neck-Score and Onco-Larynx-Score.

Background: In surgical simulation, evaluation tools are necessary to allow the overall and specific level of each gesture to be assessed for learners, to allow active feedback and follow-up. The aim of this study was to create and validate a scale for the assessment of competences for neck dissection (ND) and total laryngectomy (TL) in head and neck surgical oncology simulation specific for revascularized cadavers' models.

Methods: Two independent scales were created for ND and TL based on a two-round Delphi method.

Extrusion and meniscal mobility evaluation in case of ramp lesion injury: a biomechanical feasibility study by 7T magnetic resonance imaging and digital volume correlation.

The existing body of literature on the biomechanical implications of ramp lesions is limited, leaving a significant gap in our understanding of how these lesions impact joint kinematics and loading in the medial compartment. This cadaveric biomechanical study aims to address this gap by employing an innovative Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) method, utilizing 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images under various loading conditions. The primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive comparison of medial meniscal mobility between native knees and knees affected by grade 4 ramp lesions.

SimLife®: A New Dynamic Model for Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Simulation.

The SimLife® model consists in a human cadaver dynamized by pulsatile vascularization. The objective was to evaluate the face, contents, and constructs validity of the SimLife® model in head and neck surgical oncology simulation. Head and neck surgical oncology simulation sessions on SimLife® models were organized with lateral neck dissection and total laryngectomy.

Improving autobiographical memory in schizophrenia using wearable cameras: A single-case experimental study.

Autobiographical memory (AM) impairments influence both sense of identity and social functioning of patients with schizophrenia. However, cognitive remediation methods addressing these difficulties do not sufficiently consider the heterogeneity of this disorder and frequently face methodological limitations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of a method using a wearable camera (NarrativeClip®), through an alternating treatments design across two types of AM training.

[Flap harvest training on a new ultrarealistic simulation model: In-training operator feedback about a pulsating reperfused and reventilated cadaver Simlife®].

Introduction: The anatomical subject is still a key element to learn complex procedures in plastic surgery. We present here the evaluation of an in-training operator on a SIMLIFE® model, hyper realistic model consisting in human bodies donated to science equipped with pulsating recirculation and reventilation device.

Material And Methods: From February 2019 to October 2019, 8 forearm flaps with radial proximal pedicle were harvested by the learner on a SIMLIFE® model.

Episodic Autobiographical Memory in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Exploration With the Autobiographical Interview.

The literature has provided contradictory results regarding the status of episodic memory in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This might be explained by methodological differences across studies. In the present one, the well-recommended Autobiographical Interview was used in which important aspects of episodic memory were assessed, namely, the number and richness of phenomenological memory details, before and after a retrieval support.

Unraveling the role of retrieval deficits in autobiographical memory impairment in schizophrenia: A comparison of involuntary and voluntary autobiographical memories.

Patients with schizophrenia show severe autobiographical memory impairment, thought to reflect retrieval deficits caused by executive dysfunction. However, prior research has focused exclusively on strategic (voluntary) retrieval, and ignored involuntary retrieval resulting from automatic and associative processes, involving minimal cognitive control. We report two studies with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (Ns = 40 and 50 respectively) comparing their impairment in involuntary versus voluntary autobiographical memory.

Evaluation of Liver Quality after Circulatory Death Versus Brain Death: A Comparative Preclinical Pig Model Study.

The current organ shortage in hepatic transplantation leads to increased use of marginal livers. New organ sources are needed, and deceased after circulatory death (DCD) donors present an interesting possibility. However, many unknown remains on these donors and their pathophysiology regarding ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI).

Involuntary Autobiographical Memories in Schizophrenia: Characteristics and Conditions of Elicitation.

Involuntary autobiographical memories are mental representations of personally experienced past events that come to mind spontaneously, with no preceding attempt to recall them. They have been showed to be more frequent and more emotional in the psychosis continuum. Although schizophrenia is strongly associated with thought disorders, including cognitive intrusions of thought, images, semantic knowledge, research on patients' involuntary autobiographical memories is limited.

SimLife model: introducing a new teaching device in endocrine surgery simulation.

To evaluate the validity and reliability of an innovative training model for endocrine surgical procedures. A simulator training model for endocrine procedures (SimLife) was developed at an academic center. The model consisted of a realistic operating environment with a coherent simulated patient dynamized by pulsatile vascularization with simulated blood warmed to 37 °C, and ventilation.

Cognitive Intervention Targeting Autobiographical Memory Impairment in Patients With Schizophrenia Using a Wearable Camera: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

Autobiographical memory (AM) impairment in schizophrenia affects the richness of detail in personal memories and is one of the major predictors of patients' social functioning. Despite the empirical evidence attributing these difficulties to a defective encoding process, cognitive remediation interventions targeting AM in schizophrenia often focus on the remote past, making it difficult to address the consequences of poor encoding. Our study evaluated the efficacy of an innovative approach using a wearable camera (NarrativeClip) in reinforcing the encoding of recent daily life events in patients with schizophrenia.

Cold-to-warm machine perfusion of the liver: a novel circuit for an uninterrupted combined perfusion protocol.

Background: Ex-vivo perfusion of liver grafts is associated with promising results for the preservation of marginal grafts. Recent studies highlight the need for a combination of perfusion conditions, such as hypothermic followed by normothermic perfusion. While comprehensive machines dedicated to liver perfusion have been developed, these systems remain costly and poorly adaptable to perfusion condition switch, which requires a complete interruption of the perfusion process.

SimLife® technology in surgical training - a dynamic simulation model.

In initial surgical formation and continuing surgical education, simulation has become a compulsory technique. Just as becoming an airplane pilot requires skills, the acquisition of technical skills is essential to becoming a surgeon. The old apprenticeship model "I see, I do, and I teach" is no longer entirely compatible with the socio-economic constraints of the operating room, demands for guaranteeing patient safety, and the compulsory reduction in resident working hours.

Self-concept Clarity and Autobiographical Memory Functions in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder Without Intellectual Deficiency.

The structural characteristics of self-concept refer to the way in which the elements of self-knowledge are organized and can be experienced by individuals in the form of self-concept clarity. It is intimately linked to autobiographical memory. Therefore, we sought to compare self-concept clarity and autobiographical memory between adults with ASD without Intellectual Deficiency and controls.

Seeing or hearing one's memories: Manipulating autobiographical memory imagery in schizophrenia.

The prevalence of auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia, and theories suggesting a link between autobiographical memory and hallucination, raise the possibility of a dominant role of auditory imagery in autobiographical remembering in patients with schizophrenia, whereas visual imagery is dominant in autobiographical memory of healthy adults. The present study explored this possibility by comparing autobiographical memory characteristics, according to sensory modality, in patients with schizophrenia versus healthy controls. Twenty-eight patients and 28 matched controls were asked to retrieve autobiographical memories that were dominated by auditory, visual, gustatory-olfactory, or tactile imagery.

Single Dose Steroid Injection After Loss of Signal (LOS) During Thyroid Surgery is Effective to Recover Electric Signal Avoiding Vocal Cord Palsy and the Need of Staged Thyroidectomy: Prospective Evaluation on 702 Patients.

Background: Steroids are often used for the management of vocal cord palsy after thyroid surgery. There are no reports in the current literature of their intraoperative use, immediately after a loss of signal during neuromonitoring (LOS). We evaluate the impact of a single dose of 4 mg of dexamethasone on laryngeal nerve function, administrated at the time of a LOS during a nerve-monitored thyroidectomy.

From a Lived Event to Its Autobiographical Memory: An Ecological Study Using Wearable Camera in Schizophrenia.

Cognitive disorders are considered as a core symptom of schizophrenia. Importantly, episodic autobiographical memory deficits are strongly related to patients' social dysfunction. Although the cognitive mechanisms underlying autobiographical memory deficit are highly important to open the door for specific cognitive remediation, they are yet to be understood.

Temporal processing of past and future autobiographical events in patients with schizophrenia.

People with schizophrenia experience difficulties in remembering their past and envisioning their future. However, while alterations of event representation are well documented, little is known about how personal events are located and ordered in time. Using a think-aloud procedure, we investigated which strategies are used to determine the times of past and future events in 30 patients with schizophrenia and 30 control participants.

Rapid or Slow Time to Brain Death? Impact on Kidney Graft Injuries in an Allotransplantation Porcine Model.

The use of donors deceased after brain death (DBD) with extended criteria in response to the shortage of grafts leads to the removal of more fragile kidneys. These grafts are at greater risk of not being grafted or delayed function. A better knowledge of the pathophysiology of DBDs would improve this situation.
