Article Synopsis
  • Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is a significant issue requiring further research to understand its incidence, characteristics, and risk factors, particularly after various surgeries like breast cancer operations and knee arthroplasties.
  • An extensive observational study involved 3,297 patients from 18 European hospitals, revealing a 6-month CPSP incidence rate of 10.5%, with variations based on surgery type, and highlighting a common occurrence of neuropathic pain symptoms.
  • While the study did not succeed in creating a new predictive score for CPSP, it provided valuable insights into its prevalence and impact on patients' quality of life following different surgical procedures.

Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 325 patients tested, 12.6% tested positive for drugs, with a notably higher prevalence (34.0%) among those under 50 years old; these users were predominantly younger men and active smokers.
  • * The findings revealed that recreational drug users experienced significantly higher rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and ventricular arrhythmia, indicating a critical association between drug use and poorer in-hospital outcomes for STEMI patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to validate a scale called ALR-RSI to help surgeons assess athletes' psychological readiness to return to sports after peroneal tendon surgery.
  • Involving 57 patients, the research found a strong correlation between the ALR-RSI scale and established outcome measures (FAOS and FAAM), indicating its effectiveness.
  • ALR-RSI proved to be a valid tool for predicting athletes' postoperative success, with a high internal consistency and strong discrimination ability, aiding surgeons in evaluating recovery.

Objective: SpA and PsA represent two frequent inflammatory rheumatic disorders characterized by an increased burden on quality of life due to the association of several comorbidities, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD). The estimated prevalence of CVD ranges from 12 to 19% and differs between the two diseases, however, the incidence of CVD is not completely known. We aimed to systematically review the literature and perform a meta-analysis of controlled observational studies to assess the incidence rate of CVD over time in SpA and PsA.

Background: The early identification of sepsis presenting a high risk of deterioration is a daily challenge to optimise patient pathway. This is all the most crucial in the prehospital setting to optimize triage and admission into the appropriate unit: emergency department (ED) or intensive care unit (ICU). We report the association between the prehospital National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS-2) and in-hospital, 30 and 90-day mortality of SS patients cared for in the pre-hospital setting by a mobile ICU (MICU).

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is characterized by a strong genetic predisposition evidenced by the identification of up to 50 susceptibility loci, in addition to HLA-B27, the major genetic factor associated with the disease. These loci have not only deepened our understanding of disease pathogenesis but also offer the potential to improve disease management. Diagnostic delay is a major issue in SpA.

  • Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by wild-type AmpC-producing Enterobacterales is common in ICU patients, and the study explores the effectiveness of different antimicrobial therapies (AMT), specifically piperacillin ± tazobactam (PTZ) and third-generation cephalosporins (3GCs).
  • In a study involving 274 ICU patients, no significant differences in treatment success at day 7 were found between the groups receiving PTZ, 3GCs, or other control treatments, with all groups showing success rates around 68-74%.
  • However, patients treated with 3GCs had a higher likelihood of pneumonia recurrence by day 28 compared to those on PTZ

Department of Ophthalmology, Ambroise Paré Hospital, AP-HP, University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, 9, avenue Charles-de-Gaulle, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France; Department of Ophthalmology 3, Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, 28 rue de Charenton, 75012 Paris, France; Sorbonne Universités, Inserm, CNRS, Institut de la vision, IHU FOReSIGHT, 17 rue Moreau, 75012 Paris, France.

The relationship between glaucoma and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) has long been discussed, with conflicting study findings. OSAS appears in the most recent studies to be more of an aggravating factor than an independent risk factor for glaucoma. Patients with OSAS may develop a more rapid progression of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Adjuvant chemotherapy benefits patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but the compromised physical state of post-operative patients can hinder compliance. Biomarkers that identify candidates for prompt adjuvant therapy are needed. In this prospective observational study, 1,171 patients with PDAC who underwent pancreatectomy were enrolled and extensively followed-up.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aims to develop a deep learning method for detecting pulmonary embolism (PE) and calculating its severity using specific metrics on 3D computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) images with few annotations.
  • The approach includes a series of steps: identifying blood clots, classifying PE presence, and estimating both the Qanadli score and right-to-left ventricle diameter (RV/LV) ratio, utilizing data from a large set of patient examinations.
  • Results showed promising accuracy for PE classification with an area under the curve (AUC) of about 0.87, and solid regression outcomes for estimating severity scores, indicating potential use of AI tools in clinical settings, though further research is needed. *

  • Patients with autoimmune gastritis (AIG) show higher rates of iron and vitamin B12 deficiencies compared to those with non-autoimmune gastritis (NAIG) and control groups.
  • Median vitamin B12 levels are significantly lower in AIG patients (367.5 pg/mL) than in NAIG (445.0 pg/mL) and controls (391.0 pg/mL), with deficiencies found in 13.3% of AIG cases versus only 1.5% and 2.8% in the other groups.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of screening and treating these micronutrient deficiencies in AIG patients, as they are at a higher risk for both vitamin B12 (OR:

Purpose: Several descriptions of the anatomy of the pectoralis major (PM) have been published. However, the precise description of its distal humeral insertion, which is involved in traumatic tears, remains controversial. The distal tendon is classically described as being made of two layers, one anterior (ALPM) and one posterior (PLPM), which regroup at their distal edge.

Article Synopsis
  • The study discusses a rare lung disease in nine children linked to a genetic deficiency of the CCR2 receptor, leading to conditions like pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and increased vulnerability to infections.
  • This deficiency is characterized by loss-of-function variants, affecting the migration and signaling of immune cells, particularly monocytes, due to a lack of response to CCL-2, a chemokine essential for these processes.
  • Elevated levels of CCL-2 in the blood serve as a diagnostic marker for identifying children with unexplained respiratory issues or recurrent infections, indicating the importance of CCR2 in lung health and immune response.
