Background: The 2023 Duke-ISCVID and 2023 ESC classifications have recently issued independent diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis (IE), updating the 2015 ESC criteria.
Objectives: The specificity of the 2023 ESC criteria should be evaluated and compared to the two other classifications in IE suspected patients.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the characteristics of patients hospitalised in Bichat University Hospital, in 2021, who had been evaluated for suspicion of IE, and in whom IE diagnosis was finally rejected.
Background: The impact of antibiotics (ATBs) on the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence after curative resection remains unknown.
Methods: Using the French nation-wide database of cancer patients, all newly diagnosed non-metastatic CRC patients resected between 01/2012 and 12/2014 were included. The perioperative ATB intake (from 6 months before surgery until 1 year after) was classified according to the class, the period of use (pre- vs post-resection), the disease stage (localized and locally advanced), and the primary tumor location (colon and rectum/junction).
Introduction: Experimental studies in animals have yielded conflicting results on the role of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) in sepsis and endotoxemia, with some reporting adaptive and others inappropriate effects. A meta-analysis of the available literature was performed to determine the factors explaining this discrepancy.
Methods: The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.
Background: The role of suppressive antimicrobial therapy (SAT) in infective endocarditis (IE) management has yet to be defined. The objective of this study was to describe the use of SAT in an IE referral center and the patients' outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study in a French IE referral center (Paris).
