Case series of mesh migration after rectopexy surgery for rectal prolapse.

Mesh rectopexy for rectal prolapse can cause some serious mesh-related complications. Mesh migration into close viscera following rectopexy is rare. We report three cases of mesh migration after mesh rectopexy treated in our unit.

Idiopathic small bowel diaphragm disease: a case report.

Small bowel diaphragm disease is a rare condition usually associated with the prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and that can be mistaken and treated as other pathologies. We describe a case of a 64-year-old man with a prolonged course of pain and subacute bowel obstructions, without any history of NSAID usage, found to have a multiple diaphragmatic stricture in the small bowel.

Acute esophageal necrosis: Case report of an unknown entity.

Introduction: Acute Esophageal Necrosis Syndrome (AENS) is a rare and unknown clinical entity, defined as a diffuse circumferential black-appearing friable esophageal mucosa going from the distal esophageal mucosa to the gastroesophageal (GE) junction. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) remains the gold standard in making diagnosis.

Presentation Of Case: We report here the case of a 45-year-old man with necrosis of the esophagus treated conservatively.

Can machine learning predict resecability of a peritoneal carcinomatosis?

Background: Approximately 20% of initially eligible patients in a HIPEC procedure eventually underwent a simple surgical exploration. These procedures are called 'open & close' (O & C) representing up to 48% of surgery. The objective of this study was to predict the resecability of peritoneal carcinomatosis using a machine-learning model for decision-making support, for eligible patients of HIPEC.

-ITD impedes retinoic acid, but not arsenic, responses in murine acute promyelocytic leukemias.

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is often associated with activating FLT3 signaling mutations. These are highly related to hyperleukocytosis, a major adverse risk factor with chemotherapy-based regimens. APL is a model for oncogene-targeted therapies: retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic both target and degrade its ProMyelocytic Leukemia/Retinoic Acid Receptor α (PML/RARA) driver.

Pancreatico-gastric fistula complicating an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.

Fistula as a complication of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) is rare and may involve different adjacent organs, sometimes, several organs at the same time. Our patient had a pancreatico-gastric fistula, discovered at work-up for IPMN, which required extensive surgery.

[Psychiatric disorders in adult form of Niemann-Pick disease type C].

Introduction: Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) is a rare genetic disease with an extremely heterogeneous clinical presentation. The adult form of this disease is usually expressed with neurological symptoms; however, non-specific psychiatric disorders are often associated. This article presents a retrospective study on a cohort of NPC patients diagnosed in France with the objectives of researching the presence of psychiatric disorders and qualifying these disorders.

[Niemann-Pick type C disease and psychosis: Two siblings].

Introduction: Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) is a rare, neurovisceral, autosomal recessive disease, with an extremely heterogeneous clinical presentation. The adult form of the disease is usually expressed as a neurological form. Non-specific psychiatric symptoms are often associated with NPC.

[Adult onset Niemann-Pick type C disease and psychosis: literature review].

Introduction: Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) is a rare hereditary disease, which psychiatrists do not face often in France. Indeed, only a couple of articles specifically describing the psychiatric-disorders in the adult form have been published. And for the most part, they were not written by psychiatrists.
