To date, we have no French data about the psychiatric consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and the confinement. In the largest French psychiatric emergency centre, we compared the average number of consultations per day during the confinement with the same period preceding the confinement and with the same periods of previous years, and we observed a significant drop in attendance. Our team had to adapt promptly to these changes in public mental health services, and we set up a telephone hotline dedicated to psychiatric patients and their families, in order to prevent a secondary psychiatric crisis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how reallocating time among physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep affects obesity indicators like BMI and waist circumference across various age groups.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 9,818 participants using isotemporal substitution models to understand the implications of these behavior changes.
  • Results indicated that even small shifts of 10-30 minutes can significantly impact obesity, with reallocating moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) to lighter activities or sedentary behavior having particularly detrimental effects.

Background And Purpose: Although not validated as a standard treatment, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is increasingly used in the management of localised prostate cancer (PCa). In case of recurrence after HIFU, treatment is currently not standardised. Our aim was to evaluate normofractionated (NFRT) and hypofractionated (HFRT) salvage radiotherapy (RT) using volumetric modulated arc therapy (s-VMAT) with doses used in first-line management of localised PCa.

Background: Hemodialysis (HD) contributes significantly to healthcare's carbon footprint. Worldwide about 100,000 dialysis machines end their life cycle each year. Our aim was to analyze the composition and the potential for recyclability of two dialysis machines, from the two companies with the largest market share, which had met their end-of-use terms (10-12 years of use according to French regulations).

Liver venous deprivation (LVD) before extended hepatectomy: a French multicentric retrospective cohort.

Hepatobiliary Surg Nutr

December 2024

Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Department, CHU de Bordeaux, Pessac, France.

Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is the first cause of death after major hepatectomy, and future liver remnant (FLR) volume is the main factor predicting PHLF. Liver venous deprivation (LVD) via portal and hepatic vein embolization has been suggested to induce a better hypertrophy of the FLR than portal vein embolization. The aim of this retrospective multicentric study was to assess safety, feasibility and efficacity of LVD in a French national multicentric register.
