Article Synopsis
  • Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a common condition in individuals over 50 that can lead to serious issues like vision loss if not diagnosed quickly.
  • This study assesses the effectiveness of using color Doppler ultrasound as the first step for diagnosing GCA, followed by temporal artery biopsy for those who test negative on the ultrasound.
  • The findings showed that ultrasound confirmed GCA in 44% of cases, compared to 17% for biopsy and 21% for other methods, but the study had limitations like a small sample size and no objective gold-standard for comparison.

Nausea and vomiting induced by cancer treatment (CINV) remain one of the most common and feared side effects in children despite the use of new drugs to prevent them. The existing recommendations for the prophylaxis and treatment of CINV are based on adult patients in Anglo-Saxon societies. Based on a recent review of the literature, we focused on specific pediatric issues in order to offer recommendations validated by the supportive care committee of the French society for childhood cancer.

Aim: We evaluated a decision algorithm for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) based on a no-stent strategy, corresponding to a combination of scoring balloon angioplasty (SCBA) and drug-coated balloon (DCB), as a first line approach. Stents were used only in unstable patients, or in case of mandatory bailout stenting (BO-stent).

Methods: From April 2019 to March 2020, 984 consecutive patients, including 1922 lesions, underwent PCI.

Randomized Trial Comparing Double Versus Triple Bortezomib-Based Regimen in Patients With Multiple Myeloma and Acute Kidney Injury Due to Cast Nephropathy.

J Clin Oncol

August 2020

Department of Hematology and Immunology, Hôpital Saint Louis, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, INSERM UMR 1126, Paris, France.

Purpose: We report a multicenter controlled trial comparing renal recovery and tolerance profile of doublet versus triplet bortezomib-based regimens in patients with initial myeloma cast nephropathy (CN) and acute kidney injury (AKI) without need for dialysis.

Methods: After symptomatic measures and high-dose dexamethasone, patients were randomly assigned to receive bortezomib plus dexamethasone (BD), or BD plus cyclophosphamide (C-BD). In patients with < 50% reduction of serum free light chains (sFLCs) after 3 cycles, chemotherapy was reinforced with either cyclophosphamide (BD group) or thalidomide (C-BD group).

DrugCam(®) is a new approach to control the chemotherapy preparations with an intelligent video system that enables automatic verification during the critical stages of preparations combined with an a posteriori control with partial or total visualization of the video recording of preparations. The assessment was about the recognizing of anticancer drug vials (qualitative analysis) and syringe volumes (quantitative analysis). The qualitative analysis was conducted for a total of 120 vials with sensitivity of 100% for 84.

Background: The potential influence of bed availability on triage to intensive care unit (ICU) admission is among the factors that may influence the ideal ratio of ICU beds to population: thus, high bed availability (HBA) may result in the admission of patients too well or too sick to benefit, whereas bed scarcity may result in refusal of patients likely to benefit from ICU admission.

Methods: Characteristics and outcomes of patient admitted in four ICUs with usual HBA, defined by admission refusal rate less than 11 % because of bed unavailability, were compared to patients admitted in six ICUs with usual low bed availability (LBA), i.e.

Early use of an implantable loop recorder in syncope evaluation: a randomized study in the context of the French healthcare system (FRESH study).

Arch Cardiovasc Dis

October 2014

Cardiologie 9(e) étage, CHU La Timone, 263, rue Saint-Pierre, 13385 Marseille cedex 5, France. Electronic address:

Background: The role of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in the evaluation strategy for recurrent syncope in France is limited by lack of knowledge of the cost.

Aim: To compare a conventional evaluation strategy for syncope with the early use of an ILR in low-risk patients, in terms of diagnostic yield, cost and impact on quality of life (QoL).

Methods: National prospective randomized open-label multicenter study of patients with a single syncope (if severe and recent) or at least two syncopes in the past year.
