Article Synopsis
  • - Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often overlaps with various somatic conditions that can complicate diagnosis, making it crucial to systematically assess these co-occurring disorders during the initial diagnostic process for effective healthcare and long-term outcomes.
  • - A systematic review of clinical practice guidelines from 2005 to 2019 identified 14 guidelines with varying quality, underscoring the importance of clinical examinations and recommendations for consultations with specialists in fields like pediatrics and genetics for a thorough initial somatic assessment (ISA).
  • - The results highlight the necessity of screening for specific warning signs and suggest using a referral form to guide clinicians and enhance the coordination of care, which could also help improve data collection on somatic disorders associated with ASD. *

Introduction: In France, the use of seclusion in psychiatric hospitals is regulated by the Act of January 26th 2016 which enforces a reduction of the use of coercive measures and limiting their duration. Criteria that are unrelated to the patient's symptoms might affect this decision and extend the duration of seclusion. The goal of the current observational study is, firstly, to determine which factors - unrelated to the patient's symptoms - influence the length of stay in seclusion.

Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of genetic and environmental vascular risk factors in non diabetic patients with premature peripheral arterial disease, either peripheral arterial occlusive disease or thromboangiitis obliterans, the two main entities of peripheral arterial disease, and to established whether some of them are specifically associated with one or another of the premature peripheral arterial disease subgroups.

Methods And Results: This study included 113 non diabetic patients with premature peripheral arterial disease (diagnosis <45-year old) presenting either a peripheral arterial occlusive disease (N = 64) or a thromboangiitis obliterans (N = 49), and 241 controls matched for age and gender. Both patient groups demonstrated common traits including cigarette smoking, low physical activity, decreased levels of HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (active form of B6 vitamin) and zinc.

Objective: To assess the safety and efficiency of steam vein sclerosis (SVS) of the great saphenous vein (GSV) in a multicentre open prospective cohort study.

Design: 75 consecutive adult patients with GSV reflux, CEAP C2-C5 and vein diameter 4-13 mm.

Methods: Patients treated using an SVS™ generator delivering homogenous pulses of superheated steam were followed up at 8 days and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months (clinical, duplex ultrasound, quality of life [QoL] with SF12).
