Pain evaluation after day-surgery using a mobile phone application.

Introduction: Few studies assess postoperative outcomes after discharge in the ambulatory setting. The aim of this study was to investigate postoperative pain and adverse effects at 24 h and at 7 days after day surgery using an e-health follow-up smartphone-based application named SATELIA®.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective, observational and monocentric cohort study was conducted at the University Hospital of Bordeaux.

Paracrine inhibition of GM-CSF signaling by human cytomegalovirus in monocytes differentiating to dendritic cells.

A primary HCMV infection or virus reactivation may cause severe disease in hosts with a deficient immune system. The virus can disturb both innate and adaptive immunity by targeting dendritic cell (DC) functions. Monocytes, the precursors of DCs in vivo (MoDCs), are the primary targets of HCMV; they can also harbor latent virus.
