Effects of Neurodevelopmental Disorders on the Clinical Presentations and Therapeutic Outcomes of Children and Adolescents with Severe Mood Disorders: A Multicenter Observational Study.

Individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are more susceptible to developing severe or resistant mood disorders. However, they often face challenges in accessing specific treatments. To understand the barriers to treatment in this group, we conducted a secondary analysis of a multicenter observational study on 305 adolescents referred to specialized care (mean age 14.

The predictive performance of the ANCA renal risk score in patients over 65 years of age with renal ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Background: The anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) renal risk score (ARRS) for predicting renal survival in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) had not previously been validated in adults over 65 years of age and presenting impairments associated with an aging kidney, a high cardiovascular comorbidity burden and prevalent microscopic polyangiitis.

Methods: We retrospectively studied a cohort of 192 patients over 65 years of age [median (interquartile range) age: 73 (68-78) years], including 17.2% with renal-limited vasculitis, 49.

Rates of Viral Non-Suppression and Acquired HIV-1 Drug Resistance Emergence among Children during the Sociopolitical Crisis in the Northwest Region of Cameroon: A Call for Improved Monitoring Strategies.

Background: Virological failure (VF) among children remains concerning, with high risks of HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) emergence and increased disease progression. Therefore, monitoring of viral non-suppression and emerging HIVDR is crucial, especially in the frame of sociopolitical unrest.

Objective: The study sought to determine the prevalence of VF and evaluate the acquired HIVDR and viral genetic diversity among children in the Northwest region of Cameroon during the ongoing sociopolitical crisis.

Abstracts accepted for the 2021-2023 French Orthopaedic and Traumatology Society meetings: Proportion of women submitters.

Background: Women are underrepresented in orthopaedic and trauma surgery worldwide, with proportions of 4%-17% across countries and 9.1% in France. The annual meeting of the French Society for Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery (SOFCOT) provides opportunities for quantifying the representation of women, which has not yet been accurately evaluated.

Update on the diagnosis of recurrence of lower limb deep vein thrombosis. A Consensus statement of the French Society for Vascular Medicine (SFMV).

An accurate diagnosis of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) recurrence is mandatory. The diagnosis is difficult and has not been well investigated. Our objective was to define the role of clinical probability assessment, D-dimer assay, venous ultrasound and other imaging methods in the diagnosis of this condition based on a review of published data.

Detection of Pulmonary Nodules on Ultra-low Dose Chest Computed Tomography With Deep-learning Image Reconstruction Algorithm.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of ultra-low dose (ULD) chest computed tomography (CT), with a radiation exposure equivalent to a 2-view chest x-ray, for pulmonary nodule detection using deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR).

Material And Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 60 patients referred to our institution for assessment or follow-up of solid pulmonary nodules. All patients underwent low-dose (LD) and ULD chest CT within the same examination session.

Fluid responsiveness in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients: a post hoc analysis of the HEMOPRED study.

Purpose: Optimal fluid management in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is challenging due to risks associated with both circulatory failure and fluid overload. The performance of dynamic indices to predict fluid responsiveness (FR) in ARDS patients is uncertain.

Methods: This post hoc analysis of the HEMOPRED study compared the performance of dynamic indices in mechanically ventilated patients with shock, with and without ARDS, to predict FR, defined as an increase in aortic velocity time integral (VTI)  > 10% after passive leg raising (PLR).

Benefit of isolated surgical valve repair or replacement for functional tricuspid regurgitation and long-term outcomes stratified by the TRI-SCORE.

Background And Aims: Severe tricuspid regurgitation is associated with increased mortality rates, but benefit of its correction and ideal timing are not clearly determined. This study aimed to identify patient subsets who might benefit from the surgery.

Methods: In TRIGISTRY, an international cohort study of consecutive patients with severe isolated functional tricuspid regurgitation (33 centres, 10 countries), survival rates up to 10 years were compared between patients who underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgery (repair or replacement) and those conservatively managed, overall and according to TRI-SCORE category (low: ≤3, intermediate: 4-5, and high: ≥6).
