Improving physical activity (PA) in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) has recently emerged as an important component of the global treatment strategy to improve drinking outcomes and quality of life. However, this new approach should focus on AUD patients with insufficient baseline PA and requires this subgroup to be better characterized. In a population of 382 treatment-seeking AUD patients, PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and participants were divided into two groups: insufficient PA group and sufficient PA group.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat responsible for 700,000 deaths per year worldwide. There is scientific evidence of the causal relationship between antimicrobial use (AMU) along the food chain and AMR. Improving AMU in livestock is therefore a key component in the fight against AMR.

Despite the strong decrease in antimicrobial use in the French poultry and pig sectors over the last decade, room for improvement remains. A participatory approach was set up in France, involving representatives of veterinarians, the pig and poultry industries, technical institutes, the French Ministry of Agriculture, and researchers, to further improve how antimicrobials are used on farms. By successively defining a shared, long-term vision of future antimicrobial use on farms, identifying lock-in mechanisms impeding this future vision from being realized, and articulating practical questions on how to move in the desired direction, the group rapidly reached a consensus.

Background: Even if bariatric surgery is considered the most effective therapeutic approach, it is not equally successful among individuals suffering from severe obesity and candidates for this weight loss surgery. Among the factors that influence postsurgical outcomes, eating behaviors styles are known to play a key role in relapses. The aim of our study was to assess eating behaviors styles and several modulating psychopathological factors in patients suffering from severe obesity.

Article Synopsis
  • Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is a functional disorder that often affects women after rectal surgery, specifically studied here in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
  • A multi-center analysis of 125 female patients (56 with EOC and 69 with rectal cancer) found similar rates of LARS between the two groups post-surgery, with 30.4% reporting bowel dysfunction.
  • The study concludes that LARS is common but underreported in EOC patients, and its functional outcomes are comparable to those of female rectal cancer patients who did not undergo radiotherapy.

Background: The benefit of a perianal block as an adjunct to general or regional anaesthesia is debated. This RCT aimed to compare pain at 24 h and up to 14 days after proctological surgery in patients with and without a perianal block.

Methods: Between January 2018 and April 2019, patients were allocated to receive a perianal block with ropivacaine or placebo as an adjunct to anaesthesia.

Background: Renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are a major clinical feature in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Spontaneous bleeding can be life threatening, and appropriate information and proper surveillance and management are important to limit morbidity and mortality. Because TSC is a rare disease, patients are at risk of suboptimal medical management.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) and AML-related bleedings among patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and to gather information about associated treatments.

Methods: A questionnaire survey was undertaken by the French Reference Centre for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and distributed through university hospitals and the patients' association (2009-2011). The questionnaire was then distributed to patients registered by the Norwegian National Centre for Rare Epilepsy-Related Disorders (2013-2014).

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the use of mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and antimicrobial prophylaxis in elective colorectal surgery in Switzerland.

Methods: Ninety-eight heads of surgical departments in Switzerland and 42 visceral surgeons in private practice were asked to answer an 18-item questionnaire in October 2008 about arguments in favor of or against MBP. The participants also indicated whether they use MBP and antimicrobial prophylaxis in colorectal surgery, and if so, what agents were used.

Background: To evaluate the outcome of antireflux surgery, we assessed disease-specific symptoms and quality of life of all patients treated by laparoscopic fundoplication at our center between 1992 and 2002.

Materials And Methods: Preoperative symptoms and details of surgery were evaluated for 186 laparoscopic fundoplications. Disease-specific symptoms and quality of life were assessed using a questionnaire.

Purpose: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy has been demonstrated to be advantageous in the short term compared with the traditional techniques. We aimed to evaluate long-term results after stapled hemorrhoidopexy and to assess patient satisfaction in association with postoperative hemorrhoidal symptoms.

Methods: This prospective study included 216 patients with Grade 2 or 3 hemorrhoids, who had stapled hemorrhoidopexy using the circular stapled technique.

Two techniques for treatment of Zenker's diverticulum, endoscopic stapler-assisted esophagodiverticulostomy and open cricopharyngeal myotomy by transcervical approach, were compared with regard to patient satisfaction and quality of life. Between January 1994 and December 2004 a total of 47 patients with Zenker's diverticulum underwent surgery in our department. Besides the usual retrospective evaluation of details of surgery, all patients were sent a questionnaire on their actual complaints and quality of life according to the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI).

Purpose: Perioperative morbidity and long-term results after hemorrhoidectomy (Ferguson's technique) were evaluated as a basis for comparison with new methods such as stapled hemorrhoidectomy.

Methods: All records of patients who underwent conventional hemorrhoidectomy between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1997 (five years) were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical technique was Ferguson closed hemorrhoidectomy.

We describe a young female patient suffering from a PEComa (perivascular epithelioid cell tumor) of the cecum, incidentally found at an examination made by her family physician. The perivascular epithelioid cell tumor is a very rare tumor, until today reported in a few cases in falciform ligament, uterus, jejunum, terminal ileum, rectum, liver, kidney, lung, pancreas, prostate, and soft tissue of the thigh. This tumor is part of a new group of tumors, comprised of angiomyolipoma, lymphangiomyolipoma, and clear-cell myomelanocytic "sugar" tumor.
