[Telemedicine in hospital at home care].

A telemedicine project in a rehabilitation centre has been developed in the framework of hospital at home care, for patients discharged early after surgery. This project is the subject of a medico-economic study in cooperation with the Regional Healthcare Agency in order to assess its impact. The results are promising and herald major changes in the care pathway of patients cared for in the home, as digital technologies continue to develop.

Metabolic and morphological measurements of subcutaneous and visceral fat and their relationship with disease stage and overall survival in newly diagnosed pancreatic adenocarcinoma : Metabolic and morphological fat measurements in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Purpose: The relationship between tumor metabolism and stage, subcutaneous and visceral fat thickness, and their glucose metabolism and overall survival in patients recently diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoma was assessed.

Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive patients were studied. Subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT), visceral fat thickness (VFT), and their corresponding FDG SUVmean, as well as SUVmean and SUVmax values of the primary tumor (PT) were derived from FDG-PET CT imaging.
