Effects of Major Families of Modulators on Performances and Gastrointestinal Microbiota of Poultry, Pigs and Ruminants: A Systematic Approach.

Considering the ban on the use of antibiotics as growth stimulators in the livestock industry, the use of microbiota modulators appears to be an alternative solution to improve animal performance. This review aims to describe the effect of different families of modulators on the gastrointestinal microbiota of poultry, pigs and ruminants and their consequences on host physiology. To this end, 65, 32 and 4 controlled trials or systematic reviews were selected from PubMed for poultry, pigs and ruminants, respectively.

Drug-Free Nasal Spray as a Barrier against SARS-CoV-2 and Its Delta Variant: In Vitro Study of Safety and Efficacy in Human Nasal Airway Epithelia.

The nasal epithelium is a key portal for infection by respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and represents an important target for prophylactic and therapeutic interventions. In the present study, we test the safety and efficacy of a newly developed nasal spray (AM-301, marketed as Bentrio) against infection by SARS-CoV-2 and its Delta variant on an in vitro 3D-model of the primary human nasal airway epithelium. Safety was assessed in assays for tight junction integrity, cytotoxicity and cilia beating frequency.

Saving the lower limb with GlassBONE™ - Successful surgical revision of pseudarthrosis after infected open proximal tibia fracture type IIIC with bioactive glass grafting - A case report.

Background: The management of bone defect due to trauma or surgical debridement is a current problem in orthopedic trauma surgery, often complicated by infection and bone nonunion. The graft is one of the most challenging variables in surgical treatment. Bioactive Glass (BAG) as a biocompatible and osteogenic product is a promising bone substitute showing good results in maxillo-facial-, spine surgery and treatment of osteomyelitis.

Osteoid osteoma is an osteocalcinoma affecting glucose metabolism.

Osteocalcin is a hormone secreted by osteoblasts, which regulates energy metabolism by increasing β-cell proliferation, insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, and energy expenditure. This has been demonstrated in mice, but to date, the evidence implicating osteocalcin in the regulation of energy metabolism in humans are indirect. To address this question more directly, we asked whether a benign osteoblastic tumor, such as osteoma osteoid in young adults, may secrete osteocalcin.

[Aspergillar prosthetic hip infection with false aneurysm of the common femoral artery and cup migration into the pelvis].

We report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus infection of a total hip arthroplasty. This rare infection was demonstrated at surgical revision of a loosened prosthesis with migration of the cup into the pelvis associated with a false aneurysm of the femoral artery. A vascular time was required before the orthopedic revision.

[Osteoarticular infection in children: evaluation of a diagnostic and management protocol].

Purpose Of The Study: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a diagnostic and management protocol for osteoarticular infection in children which was developed at the Rouen University Hospital in 1993. We studied the technical aspects of the protocol allowing improved certain diagnosis and bacteriological documentation as well as the reduction in intravenous treatments and hospital stay.

Material And Methods: Two successive series were compared.

[Kingella kingae osteoarticular infections in children. A report of a series of eight new cases].

Unlabelled: Kingella kingae is a Gram-negative bacillus which belongs to the Neisseriaceae family. Its involvement in osteoarticular infections is relatively recent.

Methods And Results: We report eight cases of Kingella kingae osteoarticular infections that have been diagnosed at the paediatric surgical centre of Rouen University Hospital since October 1995.

[Ambulatory anesthesia in pediatrics. 2-year experience of performance at a day hospital].

Ambulatory pediatric anaesthesia is done within a well-organized medical and surgical structure. The anaesthesia consultation confirms the surgical indications, taking into account certain medical pathologies. 27% of elective surgery is done in day-hospital.

[Ambulatory surgery in pediatrics. The value of caudal anesthesia].

Ambulatory surgery appears to minimize lasting psychological upset in children. Patients must be properly selected. It is essential that the children and their parents should have a visit with an anaesthetist prior to the patient's admission.
