Published: February 2011

Purpose Of The Study: Like every actor in transfusion, staff members practising within blood banks of healthcare establishments have to follow a specific initial training and must frequently update their knowledge in blood transfusion.

Methods: To address this need from these professionals, the Établissement français du sang Auvergne-Loire set up training sessions which content regularly evolved according to regulation recommendations. Every cycle consists in a total of 35hours of training, divided in five one-day modules. The comparison of the evaluation questionnaires offered at the beginning and at the end of each day allowed to measure the benefits provided by every module and to compare progress according to the number of modules previously followed. The analysis of satisfaction surveys contributed to improving the education towards a high level of satisfaction of every participant.

Results Conclusion: At the end of its third year of existence, the 35hours education programme permitted to achieve a better level of training for all the staffs and the evolution towards an on-site continuing education format seems to better correspond to the personnel's expectations.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a simple machine-learning model incorporating lymph node metastasis status with F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) and clinical information for predicting regional lymph node metastasis in patients with colon cancer.

Methods: This retrospective study included 193 patients diagnosed with colon cancer between January 2014 and December 2017. All patients underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT and blood test before surgery.

Foremost in the design of new β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) are the boronic acid transition state inhibitors (BATSIs). Two highly potent BATSIs being developed are S02030 and MB076 strategically designed to be active against cephalosporinases and carbapenemases, especially KPC. When combined with cefepime, S02030 and MB076 demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against laboratory and clinical strains of expressing a variety of class A and class C β-lactamases, including and .

Objective: We aimed to evaluate and compare the rise in the temperature for the safety of the ureter and kidney parenchyma when firing the holmium laser and the thulium fiber laser (TFL).

Methods: We performed a laboratory experiment to measure the rise in temperature upon firing holmium laser and a TFL in a 10 cm3 transparent test tube in an outdoor environment and then in a container with normal saline.

Results: In a 10 cc test tube with static water at 25°C, the rise in temperature with holmium and TFL depends on the firing time, keeping power constant.

Background: Lenacapavir is a highly potent first-in-class inhibitor of HIV-1 capsid approved for the treatment of heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) people with HIV-1 (PWH) harboring multidrug resistant (MDR) virus, in combination with an optimized background regimen (OBR). Resistance analyses conducted after 2 years of lenacapavir treatment in the phase 2/3 CAPELLA study are described.

Methods: CAPELLA enrolled viremic HTE PWH with resistance to 2 or more drugs per class in at least 3 of the 4 main drug classes.

Objective: To evaluate the association between tumour size and the growth rate (GR) of small renal masses (SRMs) in patients managed by active surveillance (AS).

Materials And Methods: We queried the prospective, multi-institutional Delayed Intervention and Surveillance for Small Renal Masses (DISSRM) registry for patients on AS with an imaging interval of ≥6 months, identifying 456 patients. We tracked tumour size over time; a GR >0.
