Evaluation of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease in patients treated with JAK inhibitors: a MAJIK-SFR cohort study.

Objective: To examine the course of interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD) in France on treatment with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) using the MAJIK-SFR registry.

Methods: Prospective national multicentre observational study identifying patients with RA-ILD from the MAJIK-SFR registry. Pulmonary assessment data were collected at JAKi initiation and follow-up visits (6 months, 12 months and a median of 21 months postinclusion), including chest high-resolution CT (HRCT), pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO)), acute exacerbations of ILD, respiratory infections and lung cancers.

Risk factors for early mortality from lung cancer: evolution over the last 20 years in the French nationwide KBP cohorts.

Background: The impact of the most recent advances, including targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors, on early (3-month) mortality in lung cancer is unknown. The aims of this study were to evaluate the real-world rate of and risk factors for early mortality, as well as trends in early mortality over the last 20 years.

Materials And Methods: The KBP prospective observational multicenter studies have been conducted every 10 years since 2000.

A predictive mortality score in ANCA-associated renal vasculitis.

Background: Several scores have been developed to predict mortality at anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) diagnosis. Their prognostic value in Caucasian patients with kidney involvement (AAV-GN) remains uncertain as none has been developed in this specific population. We aimed to propose a novel and more accurate score specific for them.

Adding 6-month parameters for the prediction of kidney prognosis in ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.

Background: Antineutrophil-cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) with kidney involvement (AAV-GN) frequently evolves to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) despite aggressive immunosuppressive treatment. Several risk scores have been used to assess renal prognosis. We aimed to determine whether kidney function and markers of AAV-GN activity after 6 months could improve the prediction of ESKD.

In Situ Patch Test and Repeated Open Application Test for Fixed Drug Eruption: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Few studies have evaluated allergy workup in fixed drug eruption (FDE) in a large population.

Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity of a standardized allergy workup for diagnosing the cause of FDE, with a focus on in situ repeated open application tests (ROATs).

Methods: In a retrospective multicenter study, we analyzed the practice of conducting a complete allergy workup for the etiological diagnosis of FDE.

Randomized open-label controlled study of cancer vaccine OSE2101 versus chemotherapy in HLA-A2-positive patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with resistance to immunotherapy: ATALANTE-1.

Background: Patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) ultimately progress either rapidly (primary resistance) or after durable benefit (secondary resistance). The cancer vaccine OSE2101 may invigorate antitumor-specific immune responses after ICB failure. The objective of ATALANTE-1 was to evaluate its efficacy and safety in these patients.

Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1): a potential biomarker of acute kidney injury and tubulointerstitial injury in patients with ANCA-glomerulonephritis.

Background: Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by proximal tubular cells, recognized as an early, sensitive and specific urinary biomarker for kidney injury. Blood KIM-1 was recently associated with the severity of acute and chronic kidney damage but its value in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis with glomerulonephritis (ANCA-GN) has not been studied. Thus, we analyzed its expression at ANCA-GN diagnosis and its relationship with clinical presentation, kidney histopathology and early outcomes.

GABRA1-Related Disorders: From Genetic to Functional Pathways.

Objective: Variants in GABRA1 have been associated with a broad epilepsy spectrum, ranging from genetic generalized epilepsies to developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. However, our understanding of what determines the phenotype severity and best treatment options remains inadequate. We therefore aimed to analyze the electroclinical features and the functional effects of GABRA1 variants to establish genotype-phenotype correlations.

Insulin therapy and blood glucose management in critically ill patients: a 1-day cross-sectional observational study in 69 French intensive care units.

Background: Hyperglycaemia is common in critically ill patients, but blood glucose and insulin management may differ widely among intensive care units (ICUs). We aimed to describe insulin use practices and the resulting glycaemic control in French ICUs. We conducted a multicentre 1-day observational study on November 23, 2021, in 69 French ICUs.

Association between kinetic of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), renal survival and relapse risk in ANCA glomerulonephritis.

Background: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) kinetic in ANCA-associated vasculitis with glomerulonephritis (AAV-GN) has been suggested to be associated with AAV relapse. Few studies have focused on its association with renal prognosis. Thus we aimed to investigate the relationship between ANCA specificity and the evolutive profile and renal outcomes.

Cefoxitin-based combination for ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae endocarditis.

Background: Endocarditis due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is a rare but challenging condition. Its treatment relies on carbapenems alone or in combination, and no alternative has been described to date. The cephamycin cefoxitin has been used for treatment of mild ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae infections.

Early steroids and ventilator-associated pneumonia in COVID-19-related ARDS.

Rationale: Early corticosteroid treatment is used to treat COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Infection is a well-documented adverse effect of corticosteroid therapy.

Objectives: To determine whether early corticosteroid therapy to treat COVID-19 ARDS was associated with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Impact of targeted hypothermia in expanded-criteria organ donors on recipient kidney-graft function: study protocol for a multicentre randomised controlled trial (HYPOREME).

Introduction: Expanded-criteria donors (ECDs) are used to reduce the shortage of kidneys for transplantation. However, kidneys from ECDs are associated with an increased risk of delayed graft function (DGF), a risk factor for allograft loss and mortality. HYPOREME will be a multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing targeted hypothermia to normothermia in ECDs, in a country where the use of machine perfusion for organ storage is the standard of care.

[Re-visiting the Pronopall score ten years later: A multicenter retrospective study].

Introduction: The Pronopall score, which distinguishes 3 prognostic groups in patients with advanced cancer, was initially proposed in 2008 and validated in a study published in 2018 but including patients between 2009 and 2010. Since the last decade, cancer management and therapeutic options have progressed. The objective of this study was to confirm the value of this score in patients with digestive and thoracic cancer.

Regorafenib or Tamoxifen for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer with rising CA125 and no evidence of clinical or RECIST progression: A GINECO randomized phase II trial (REGOVAR).

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib versus tamoxifen in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer biological recurrence, defined by CA-125 increase without radiological (RECIST criteria) or symptomatic evidence of progression.

Patients And Methods: 116 patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer presenting an isolated increase of CA-125 were planned to be randomized. Regorafenib was administered orally at 160 or 120 mg daily, 3 weeks on/1 week off or tamoxifen at 40 mg daily, until disease progression or development of unacceptable toxicity.

Menopausal symptoms in epithelial ovarian cancer survivors: a GINECO VIVROVAIRE2 study.

Objective: We have previously shown that epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and its treatments have negative effects on long-term quality of life (QoL) and fatigue. The present multicenter study investigated the main menopausal symptoms and gynecological management of EOC survivors (EOCS).

Methods: 166 patients with relapse-free ≥3 years after the end of treatment attended a consultation with a gynecologist, including a questionnaire related to vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and sexuality, a clinical examination, a blood sample and an osteodensitometry.
