Long-term outcomes of a dual-mobility cup and cementless triple-taper femoral stem combination in total hip replacement: a multicenter retrospective analysis.

Background: The separate design concepts of dual-mobility cups and triple-taper femoral stems were developed to improve survivorship following total hip replacement (THR) by reducing instability/dislocation and enabling enhanced fixation. Successful outcomes at over two decades have been reported with earlier-generation devices based on these concepts. The current study aimed to provide the first long-term results with a unique pairing of later-generation dual-mobility cup and triple-taper cementless femoral stem after a decade of use in patients undergoing THR.

Airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by isothiazolinones in water-based paints: a retrospective study of 44 cases.

Background: Airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by paints containing isothiazolinones has been recognized as a health hazard.

Objectives: To collect epidemiological, clinical and patch test data on airborne allergic contact dermatitis caused by isothiazolinone-containing paints in France and Belgium.

Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study was initiated by the Dermatology and Allergy Group of the French Society of Dermatology, including methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI)/methylisothiazolinone (MI)- and/or MI-sensitized patients who developed airborne allergic contact dermatitis following exposure to isothiazolinone-containing paint.

Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions with Antimalarials and Allergological Skin Tests.

Background: Currently used antimalarial drugs (AM) are hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, which are prescribed for many autoimmune disorders. The value of skin tests on cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADR) with AM remains unknown.

Objective: The main objective of this retrospective study is to know whether skin tests for AM are useful and how to manage the recovery of AM therapy in these patients.

The European Standard Series and its additions: are they of any use in 2013?

This study has two purposes:--to know whether the European standard series is still the key reference when it comes to contact dermatitis, i.e., are its components still the most frequently involved allergens in contact dermatitis nowadays?--to assess the results of the European standard series among French and Belgian dermatologists/allergists as, so far, most of them have failed to provide statistical data within the European community of allergists/dermatologists.

Evora® chromium-cobalt dual mobility socket: results at a minimum 10 years' follow-up.

Introduction: The Evora chromium-cobalt alloy dual mobility socket claims to display a large articulation tribology different from that of stainless steel models, limiting the risk of intraprosthetic dislocation and wear. The present study reports a minimum of 10years' follow-up in a multicenter prospective series of 200 sockets previously reported on at 5years.

Hypothesis: The use of chromium-cobalt in dual mobility sockets provides a low rate of failure at 10years, especially as regards to osteolysis and intraprosthetic dislocation.

Infection due to Mycobacterium thermoresistibile: a case associated with an orthopedic device.

Mycobacterium thermoresistibile is a rapidly growing environmental nontuberculous mycobacterium, seldom reported in human infections. Here, we describe a rare case of tibial-nail-related osteomyelitis due to Mycobacterium thermoresistibile. We also review the literature about the infections caused by this pathogen.

A multicentre study to determine the value and safety of drug patch tests for the three main classes of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions.

Background: Drug patch tests (PTs) can reproduce delayed hypersensitivity to drugs and entail a moderate re-exposure of patients to offending drugs.

Objectives: To determine the value of PTs for identifying the responsible drug in severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCARs) such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN).

Methods: In a multicentre study, PTs were conducted on patients referred for DRESS, AGEP or SJS/TEN within 1 year of their SCAR.

[Management of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)].

Objective: The management of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is not codified. Demonstration of the reactivation of Herpesviruses illustrates the specific pathophysiology of this syndrome. Proposals for the management of DRESS were elaborated by the cutaneous adverse drug reaction working group of the French Society of Dermatology to help with its management.

The dual-mobility POLARCUP: first results from a multicenter study.

Dislocation is a leading cause of revision after total hip arthroplasty (THA). To address this risk, dual-mobility technology was developed, which features a mobile polyethylene liner locked onto a femoral head and articulating in a metallic acetabular shell. This study reports clinical outcome data after implantation of the third-generation POLARCUP Dual-Mobility System (Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics AG, Rotkreuz, Switzerland).

Results of the Evora dual-mobility socket after a minimum follow-up of five years.

Purpose Of The Study: Dislocation is a well-known complication of total hip arthroplasty. The risk can be reduced to one or two cases per thousand using a dual-mobility cup. The survival rate achieved with the Bousquet implant is 95% at 10 years.

[Sweet's syndrome and phenylbutazone-induced sialadenitis].

Background: Phenylbutazone frequently induces a range of potentially dangerous adverse reactions. We report a case of Sweet's syndrome with sialadenitis induced by phenylbutazone.

Case-report: A 54-year-old woman presented lumbar pains treated with phenylbutazone for three days.

[Results of the Evora dual mobility socket: five years follow-up].

Purpose Of The Study: Dislocation is a well-known complication of total hip arthroplasty. The risk can be reduced to one or two cases per thousand using a double mobility cup. The survival rate achieved with the Bousquet implant is 95% at 10 years.

Omenn syndrome: a rare case of neonatal erythroderma.

Omenn syndrome is a severe combined immunodeficiency characterized by erythroderma, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and failure to thrive, with activated oligoclonal T lymphocytes and an absence of circulating B cells.A 3 day-old boy presented with a congenital erythroderma. Investigations revealed a marked neutropenia and lymphopenia and the absence of a thymus.

[Contact allergy to antiseptics: 75 cases analyzed by the dermato-allergovigilance network (Revidal)].

Aim: To determine the clinical features of contact dermatitis caused by antiseptics and to ascertain whether the substance responsible is the antiseptic itself or the excipients.

Patients And Methods: A multicenter, retrospective study based on analysis of all cases reported over a 2-year period to the Dermato-Allergology Vigilance network known as Revidal. Each dossier contained details of the clinical characteristics of lesions, the incriminated antiseptic, the mode of exposure and the results of patch tests done with the antiseptic in question.

Spectrum of cross-photosensitization in 18 consecutive patients with contact photoallergy to ketoprofen: associated photoallergies to non-benzophenone-containing molecules.

Contact photoallergy to ketoprofen gels has been widely reported, and cross-sensitivity reactions with other compounds, such as tiaprofenic acid, fenofibrate and benzophenones, are well known. However, positive photopatch tests to other different non-benzophenone-related compounds have recently been observed. We report the results of photopatch testing in patients with contact photoallergy to ketoprofen and discuss the spectrum of cross-sensitization to ketoprofen.
