Design/methodology/approach: The study's model was structured using GSC risk factors of green purchasing, environmental cooperation, reverse logistics, eco design, internal environmental management, and investment recovery.

[Is the internet a reliable source of information for patients eligible for breast reconstruction by DIEP flap?].

Introduction: Informing breast reconstruction patients is a major factor in shared medical decision-making. In the light of the development of multimedia, patients face a paradoxical duality: the possibility of consulting various sources while having impression of a lacking the needed information. The objective of this study is to assess the quality of the available information around MR by DIEP on Youtube.

Surgical practices of cosmetic breast augmentation by implants among 411 French plastic surgeons.

Introduction: Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries in the world. However, there is no standardized surgical procedure for performing breast augmentation. Many modalities exist for this surgery which may explain why practices vary greatly from one surgeon to another.

Surgery for lung cancer: postoperative changes and complications-what the Radiologist needs to know.

Imaging findings after thoracic surgery can be misleading. Knowledge of the normal post-operative anatomy helps the radiologist to recognise life-threatening complications and conversely not to wrongly evoke a complication in cases of trivial post-operative abnormalities. In this educational article, we reviewed the expected patterns after thoracic surgery including sublobar resection, lobectomy, pneumonectomy and related techniques.

Association of serum angiogenic factors with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The ANGIODYS cohort study.

Objectives: Angiogenic factors may be involved in lung development. To evaluate the relations between maternal and cord blood angiogenic factors (sFlt-1, placental growth factor [PlGF], soluble endogline [sEng], transforming growth factor β [TGF-beta]) and their association with moderate and severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very preterm growth-restricted infants.

Study Design: Prospective monocentric cohort study.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia: Impact of small for gestational age.

Background And Objectives: Small for gestational age and preeclampsia have both been described as risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm neonates, but their respective role in the occurrence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is debated. We evaluated the relation between small for gestational age and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in neonates born to mothers with preeclampsia. We hypothesized that low birth weight is still associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in this homogeneous population.

Haiku: New paradigm for the reverse genetics of emerging RNA viruses.

Reverse genetics is key technology for producing wild-type and genetically modified viruses. The ISA (Infectious Subgenomic Amplicons) method is a recent versatile and user-friendly reverse genetics method to rescue RNA viruses. The main constraint of its canonic protocol was the requirement to produce (e.

Impact of fetal growth restriction on neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years for extremely preterm infants: a single institution study.

Aim: We evaluated the impact of fetal growth restriction on neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years corrected age for infants born before 27 weeks gestational age.

Method: Data on infants born before 27 weeks gestational age between 1999 and 2008 (n=463), admitted to a tertiary neonatal unit in Paris, were used to compare neurological outcomes at 2 years for infants with birthweight lower than the 10th centile and birthweight of at least the 10th centile, using intrauterine reference curves. Outcomes were cerebral palsy (CP) and the Brunet-Lézine assessment of cognitive development, which provides age-corrected overall and domain-specific (global and fine motor skills, language and social interaction) developmental quotients.

Hydrocortisone use in ventilated extremely preterm infants decreased bronchopulmonary dysplasia with no effects on neurodevelopment after two years.

Aim: We assessed the outcomes of ventilated extremely premature infants treated with late postnatal corticosteroids from 2005-2008, according to permissive or restrictive policies in two centres.

Methods: This retrospective study included inborn infants below 27 weeks of gestational age who were ventilator dependent after 14 days. Centre P permitted postnatal corticosteroids but centre R restricted their use.

Does the antenatal detection of fetal growth restriction (FGR) have a prognostic value for mortality and short-term morbidity for very preterm infants? Results from the MOSAIC cohort.

Objective: We investigated the impact of antenatal diagnosis of fetal growth restriction (FGR) on the risks of mortality and morbidity for very preterm infants given actual birthweight percentiles.

Methods: Data on 4608 live born infants 24-31 weeks of gestational age (GA) in 10 European regions in 2003 were used to compare in-hospital mortality, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and severe neurological morbidity by birthweight percentiles and antenatal diagnosis of FGR. Other covariates were GA, sex, multiplicity, maternal complications, antenatal corticosteroids, birth in a level III center and region.

[Urodynamic profile of voiding disorders persisting after treatment of posterior urethral valve].

Purpose: Posterior urethral valves (PUV) are the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction in infancy that impairs renal and bladder function.

Material And Methods: We realize a retrospective study and examined 35 boys with urinary disorders post-treatment of PUV, seen at the urodynamic consultation.

Results: The mean age: 7.

Glycopeptide intermediate Staphylococcus aureus and prevalence of the luk-PV gene in clinical isolates, in Northern Lebanon.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to confirm the identification of 113 meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains by pyrosequencing, to determine the susceptibility of these clinical isolates to various classes of antibiotics, to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to glycopeptides, and to detect mecA and luk-PV genes.

Methodology: The Staphylococcus species was identified by pyrosequencing of the variable region (V3) of the 16SrRNA. The susceptibility of these 113 strains of MRSA to antibiotics was determined by the disk diffusion method on Mueller-Hinton agar.

[Intrauterine growth retardation and lung development].

Epidemiological studies have shown that intrauterine growth restriction is associated with increased respiratory morbidity in the neonatal period with an increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Respiratory consequences of environmental intrauterine changes extend into childhood and adulthood with abnormal lung function tests. In animal models, changes in surfactant and alveolarization disorders vary from one study to another.

[Benefits and harms to the newborn of maternal attempt at trial of labor after prior caesarean versus elective repeat caesarean delivery].

Objective: To evaluate neonatal outcome after elective repeat cesarean delivery (ERCD) versus trial of labor (TOL) after previous cesarean delivery.

Methods: This systematic evidence review is based on Pubmed search, Cochrane library and experts recommendations.

Results: The risks of fetal, perinatal and neonatal mortality are low after previous cesarean delivery but significantly higher for TOL as compared with ERCD.

Meconium peritonitis in both fetuses with early twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is due to unbalanced inter-twin bloodflow through placental vascular anastomoses. We present a TTTS case treated with fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) that was complicated by perinatal meconium peritonitis in both twins. Ten weeks following laser treatment, the two fetuses showed intra-abdominal hyperechogenicity and ascites.

Impact of fetal growth restriction on mortality and morbidity in a very preterm birth cohort.

Objective: To assess the impact of being small for gestational age (SGA) on very preterm mortality and morbidity rates by using different birthweight percentile thresholds and whether these effects differ by the cause of the preterm birth.

Study Design: The study included singletons and twins alive at onset of labor between 24 and 31 weeks of gestation without congenital anomalies from the Models of Organising Access to Intensive Care for very preterm births very preterm cohort in 10 European regions in 2003 (n = 4525). Outcomes were mortality, intraventricular hemorrhage grade III and IV, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

Capnocytophaga species and preterm birth: case series and review of the literature.

Capnocytophaga, a genus of Gram-negative anaerobes that inhabit the oral cavity, has been reported to be an unusual cause of chorioamnionitis and neonatal infection. We report five cases of Capnocytophaga spp. infections in preterm infants (one proven infection and four probable infections) and review 14 previously reported cases.

[Apnea of prematurity: what's new?].

Prematurity apnea remains a major clinical problem that requires treatment choices which are sometimes difficult. Prematurity apnea occurs in most infants of gestational age at birth less than 33 weeks. It is a developmental disorder which usually reflects a "physiological" immaturity of respiratory control.

[Abnormal ocular findings in the nursery and in the first few weeks of life: a mandatory, yet difficult and neglected screening].

Recommendations issued by the French Health Ministry include ocular screening in the first days of life and at 2 and 4 months. The aim is to detect ocular abnormalities requiring early treatment, in order to improve the prognosis. Paediatricians working in the nursery should therefore be trained in order to perform ocular screening, which requires using an ophthalmoscope.

Increased incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants born to HIV-positive mothers.

Objective: To examine if being born to an HIV-positive mother may increase the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in premature infants.

Design: Case-control study.

Setting: Neonatal unit of a level 3 perinatal centre.

[Neonatal lenticulostriate vasculopathy. Mid and longterm outcome (70 cases)].

Objectives: If the pattern of neonatal lenticulostriate vasculopathies (NLSV) is well-known, the prognosis is unknown except in TORCH syndromes. This study was aimed to describe the short, mid and long-term outcome of NLSV of various origins.

Population And Methods: Of 9138 neonates (1981-2000) which were submitted to an early brain ultrasound study, 70 presented with a pattern of minor (35), moderate (27) or severe (8) NLSV, a single finding in 42 cases and in association with minor peri-intraventricular haemorrhage and/or leukomalacias in 28.

Lenticulostriate echogenic vessels: clinical and sonographic study of 70 neonatal cases.

Background: Neonatal branching echogenic streaks in the basal ganglia or 'lenticulostriate vasculopathy' (LSV) has no clear comprehensive aetiology.

Objective: To provide some clinical evidence, possibly relevant to aetiology, by analysis of a large series.

Materials And Methods: Seventy cases (9 deaths, 3 post mortem) identified between 1981 and 2000 out of 9,138 neonates with routine brain sonograms (578 in a protocol for neonates from HIV+ mothers).
