Four Questions Nurses Can Ask to Predict PTSD 1 Year After a Motor Vehicle Crash.

Background: The role of nurses in screening for posttraumatic stress disorder is crucial in trauma units.

Objectives: To create and evaluate an easy and brief tool for nurses to predict chronic posttraumatic stress disorder 1 year after a motor vehicle crash.

Methods: We performed a 1-year follow-up multicenter study from 2007 to 2015, including 274 patients injured in a motor vehicle crash who were hospitalized in an orthopedic trauma unit.

Modulation of fronto-limbic activity by the psychoeducation in euthymic bipolar patients. A functional MRI study.

Bipolar disorders (BD) are mainly characterized by emotional and cognitive processing impairment. The cerebral substrate explaining BD impairment and the action mechanisms of therapies are not completely understood, especially for psychosocial interventions. This fMRI study aims at assessing cerebral correlates of euthymic bipolar patients (EBP) before and after psychoeducation therapy.

Continuous at-home postoperative analgesia using a catheter in the case of hand surgery: preliminary study about 40 cases.

In hand surgery, ever since continuous at-home postoperative analgesia (CPA) was implemented, procedures which cause pain for more than 24h can now be performed in ambulatory surgery. The aim of our work was to study the feasibility of CPA. Our series comprised 40 patients with a mean age of 50 years.
