SEPSIGN: early identification of sepsis signs in emergency department.

Because 20-30% of patients with sepsis deteriorate to critical illness, biomarkers that provide accurate early prognosis may identify which patients need more intensive treatment versus safe early discharge. The objective was to test the performance of sVEGFR2, suPAR and PCT, alone or combined with clinical signs and symptoms, for the prediction of clinical deterioration. This prospective observational study enrolled patients with suspected infection who met SIRS criteria without organ dysfunction (delta SOFA <2 from baseline) from 16 emergency departments.

Gynecological primary care of trans men and transmasculine non-binary individuals, a French descriptive study.

Introduction: Gynecological primary care is a public health issue, however, there is no French data on the transmasculine population, despite identified needs and a low coverage rate described in the international literature. The objective was to analyze the access of the French transmasculine population to gynecological primary care.

Methods: The study "Trans men and Transmasculine non-binary individuals use and access to prevention and sexual health care 2022" is a non-interventional, self-administrated, anonymous online study targeting transmasculine adults living in France.

Reirradiation of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with external photons: A practical review of the literature.

The modalities of management by reirradiation for recurrence or a second localization of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in previously irradiated terrain is challenging due to the great heterogeneity of data in the literature, mainly retrospective data reporting non-negligible risks of serious late toxicity events. With the recent development of more precise and conformal radiotherapy techniques such as intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT), the benefit-to-risk ratio of reirradiation has evolved in recent years with encouraging results, but patient selection is crucial. The aim of this review is to discuss the role of HNSCC reirradiation in terms of patient selection and external photon radiotherapy techniques for definitive tumor reirradiation and postoperative reirradiation.

Parastomal hernia after ileal conduit: Incidence, natural history and risk factors.

Introduction: Parastomal hernias are a challenging complication of digestive ostomies. Ileal-conduit parastomal hernias after cystectomy have specific aspects. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence and natural history of ileal-conduit parastomal hernias in order to guide their management, as well as to identify risk factors to prevent them.

[Pain assessment for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD): A systematic review].

Objective: Pain in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders remains underdiagnosed due to their inherent communication difficulties. The goal of this review is to identify the most suitable methods for assessing pain in this population and for evaluating the specific perceptions of, or behavioural reactions to, pain whilst considering disorder severity and specifiers (with or without accompanying intellectual impairment, with or without accompanying language impairment).

Method: A systematic review and analysis of the international literature was conducted.

Integrated spatial and multimodal single-cell transcriptomics reveal patient-dependent cell heterogeneity in splenic marginal zone lymphoma.

Biological hallmarks of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) remain poorly described. Herein, we performed in-depth SMZL characterization through multimodal single-cell analyses of paired blood/spleen samples. The 3'-single-cell RNA-sequencing, Cellular Indexing of Transcriptomes and Epitopes by sequencing, and 5'-V(D)J single-cell RNA-sequencing datasets were integrated to characterize SMZL transcriptome profiles, including B-cell receptor and T-cell receptor repertoires.

We describe a case of a pleomorphic adenoma (PA) arising from the para-tracheal accessory salivary gland in a 44-year-old male harboring a novel WWTR1::NCOA2 gene fusion. To our knowledge, this novel gene fusion has not been described previously in salivary gland tumors. The patient presented with hoarseness of voice.

Liver disease in germline mutations of telomere-related genes: Prevalence, clinical, radiological, pathological features, outcome, and risk factors.

Background And Aim: Germline mutations of telomere-related genes (TRG) induce multiorgan dysfunction, and liver-specific manifestations have not been clearly outlined. We aimed to describe TRG mutations-associated liver diseases.

Approach And Results: Retrospective multicenter analysis of liver disease (transaminases > 30 IU/L and/or abnormal liver imaging) in patients with TRG mutations.

Brachytherapy and surgery versus surgery alone for IB2 (FIGO 2018) cervical cancers: A FRANCOGYN study.

Objective: Evaluation of the management by first brachytherapy followed by radical hysterectomy (Wertheim type) compared to radical hysterectomy alone (Wertheim type) for the treatment of IB2 cervical cancer.

Methods: Data from women with histologically proven FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer treated between April 1996 and December 2016 were retrospectively abstracted from twelve French institutions with prospectively maintained databases.

Results: Of the 211 patients with FIGO stage IB2 cervical cancer without lymph node involvement included, 136 had surgical treatment only and 75 had pelvic lymph node staging and brachytherapy followed by surgery.

Clinical spectrum and prognostic impact of cancer in critically ill patients with HIV: a multicentre cohort study.

Background: Both AIDS-defining and non-AIDS-defining cancers (ADC/NADC) predispose people living with HIV (PLHIV) to critical illnesses. The objective of this multicentre study was to investigate the prognostic impact of ADC and NADC in PLHIV admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: All PLHIV admitted over the 2015-2020 period in 12 university-affiliated ICUs in France were included in the study cohort.

[Ethical stakes of information in radiation oncology: Thinking the risk and building the therapeutic alliance].

Informing patients before receiving radiation therapy is a fundamental ethical imperative. As a condition of the possibility of autonomy, information allows people to make health decisions concerning themselves, which is required by French law. This information includes in particular the potential risks due to radiation therapy.

[Stereotactic body radiation therapy for primary kidney cancer].

The incidence of primary renal cancer is increasing, particularly in elderly patients who may have comorbidities and/or a surgical contraindications. Stereotactic body radiotherapy has primarily been evaluated retrospectively to date. The most commonly used dose schedules are 40Gy in five fractions, 42Gy in three fractions, and 26Gy in one fraction.

Accuracy of a Prehospital Triage Protocol in Predicting In-Hospital Mortality and Severe Trauma Cases among Older Adults.

: Prehospital trauma triage tools are not tailored to identify severely injured older adults. Our trauma triage protocol based on a three-tier trauma severity grading system (A, B, and C) has never been studied in this population. The objective was to assess its accuracy in predicting in-hospital mortality among older adults (≥65 years) and to compare it to younger patients.

Hepatic sarcoidosis with symptomatic portal hypertension: A report of 12 cases with review of the literature.

Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatosis of unknown etiology, characterized by the presence of immune granulomas. Liver damage is a relatively common extra-pulmonary manifestation, occurring in 3.6-30% of cases.

Risk factors and mortality associated with undertriage after major trauma in a physician-led prehospital system: a retrospective multicentre cohort study.

Purpose: To assess the incidence of undertriage in major trauma, its determinant, and association with mortality.

Methods: A multicentre retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from a French regional trauma registry (2011-2017). All major trauma (Injury Severity Score ≥ 16) cases aged ≥ 18 years and managed by a physician-led mobile medical team were included.

[A particular presentation of a T cell large granular lymphocytic leukaemia].

T cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a rare, aggressive neoplasm derived from post-thymic T cells. Patients are typically middle-aged with a slight male predominance who present with a high white blood cell count, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and other symptoms typically associated with leukemia. Although cutaneous involvement has been reported in up to 30% of cases of T-PLL, to our knowledge, none have presented with a presentation resembling livedoid vasculopathy.

[Crisis situations: Ethical reflection on prioritization of care access in radiation oncology].

Understood as a disruption of the conditions of care practice according to established protocols or procedures, crisis situations in radiation oncology departments can have multiple causes. Their seriousness can sometimes impose changes in the decision-making, organizational or technical paradigms. A possible consequence may be the need to make prioritization decisions in access to care, when there is a mismatch between the care needs of a population and the available health resources (whether technical or human).
