[TVE in the management of rare diseases in hematology: raising the "Dephi" bar].

Launched in 2022 at the Policlinique d'hématologie et d'immunologie (PHI) of the Centre hospitalier (CH) Saint-Louis, the therapeutic patient education (TPE) program for patients suffering from rare hematology pathologies is continuing to develop. It has led to the creation of an TPE team. To date, two workshops are up and running, and a third is nearing completion.

Robotic gait training and botulinum toxin injection improve gait in the chronic post-stroke phase: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Improving walking ability is one of the main goals of rehabilitation after stroke. When lower limb spasticity increases walking difficulty, botulinum toxin type A (BTx-A) injections can be combined with non-pharmacologic interventions such as intensive rehabilitation using a robotic approach. To the best of our knowledge, no comparisons have been made between the efficacy of robotic gait training and conventional physical therapy in combination with BTx-A injections.

Late morbidity after colon interposition for corrosive esophageal injury: risk factors, management, and outcome. A 20-years experience.

Objective: The aim of this study was to report our experience in the management of late morbidity after colonic interposition for caustic injury and to assess the influence of coloplasty dysfunction on patient outcome.

Summary Background Data: Reports on coloplasty dysfunction after colon interposition for corrosive esophageal injuries are scarce in the literature. Dysfunction of the colonic substitute might jeopardize an already fragile functional result, and appropriate management can improve outcome.

[Colonic interposition for esophageal replacement after caustic ingestion].

Retrosternal coloplasty is the gold standard for esophageal reconstruction after caustic injury of the digestive tract. Complete preoperative otolaryngology evaluation and the control of the psychiatric disease are key factors for success. In the absence of controlled studies, the choice between the right and the left colon graft relies on the anatomy of the blood supply to the colon and on the individual surgeon's preference.

Orthodenticle and empty spiracles genes are expressed in a segmental pattern in chelicerates.

Members of the orthodenticle (otd/Otx) and empty spiracles (ems/Emx) gene families are head gap genes that encode homeodomain-containing DNA-binding proteins. Although numerous studies show their central role in developmental processes in brain specification, a surprisingly high number of other developmental processes have been shown to involve their expression. In this paper, we report the identification and expression of ems and otd in two chelicerate species: a scorpion, Euscorpius flavicaudis (Chactidae, Scorpiona, Arachnida, Euchelicerata) and a spider, Tegenaria saeva (Aranea, Arachnida, Euchelicerata).
