Impact of operation duration on postoperative outcomes of minimally-invasive right colectomy.

Aim: Operation time (OT) is a key operational factor influencing surgical outcomes. The present study aimed to analyse whether OT impacts on short-term outcomes of minimally-invasive right colectomies by assessing the role of surgical approach (robotic [RRC] or laparoscopic right colectomy [LRC]), and type of ileocolic anastomosis (i.e.

Evaluation of Rituximab for Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Patients 75 Years and Older With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis.

Importance: Older patients are underrepresented in studies of rituximab for the treatment of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. Little is known about outcomes and adverse events associated with the use of rituximab therapy among patients 75 years and older with ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Objective: To examine outcomes and adverse events associated with the use of rituximab therapy in patients 75 years and older with ANCA-associated vasculitis, specifically granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).

Impact of mismatch repair deficiency on tumour regression grade after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in localized gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Background: The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with mismatch repair (MMR) deficient (dMMR) localized gastric and oeso-gastric junction (OGJ) adenocarcinoma is subject of debate. Histological response assessment might help to better evaluate the impact of dMMR on response to NAC.

Methods: Patients with localized gastric/OGJ adenocarcinoma resected after NAC were retrospectively identified.

Streptococcal and Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic joint infections: are they really different?

Background: Staphylococci and streptococci are the most frequent pathogens isolated from prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of streptococcal and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) PJIs.

Methods: All monomicrobial streptococcal and MSSA PJIs managed in a French Referral Center (2010-2017) were sampled from the prospective PJIs cohort study.

Efficacy of niraparib by time of surgery and postoperative residual disease status: A post hoc analysis of patients in the PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 study.

Objective: To evaluate the association between surgical timing and postoperative residual disease status on the efficacy of niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer at high risk of recurrence.

Methods: Post hoc analysis of the phase 3 PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (NCT02655016) study of niraparib in patients with newly diagnosed primary advanced ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer with a complete/partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed by surgical status (primary debulking surgery [PDS] vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy/interval debulking surgery [NACT/IDS]) and postoperative residual disease status (no visible residual disease [NVRD] vs visible residual disease [VRD]) in the intent-to-treat population.

COVID-19 infection among patients with autoinflammatory diseases: a study on 117 French patients compared with 1545 from the French RMD COVID-19 cohort: COVIMAI - the French cohort study of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patient with systemic autoinflammatory diseases.

Objective: There is little known about SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with systemic autoinflammatory disease (SAID). This study aimed to describe epidemiological features associated with severe disease form and death. Mortality between patients with and without SAID hospitalised for SARS-CoV-2 infection was compared.

Arthroplasty after septic arthritis of the native hip and knee: retrospective analysis of 49 joints.

: Arthroplasty after septic arthritis (SA) treatment raises diagnostic and therapeutic questions. The main objective was to evaluate infection-free survival of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) post-SA. Other objectives were to describe the population's characteristics, surgical strategies, results of preoperative examinations and cultures of intraoperative samples taken at implantation, and postoperative antibiotic therapy.

Observational Study in a Real-World Setting of Targeted Therapy in the Systemic Treatment of Progressive Unresectable or Metastatic Well-Differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pNETs) in France: OPALINE Study.

Introduction: Approval of sunitinib and everolimus for the treatment of progressive, unresectable or metastatic well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) was obtained in France in 2011 and 2012, respectively. OPALINE was set up as an observational study to evaluate the efficacy of sunitinib and everolimus compared to usual pNET treatments of chemotherapies and somatostatin analogues that had been previously recommended by the health authorities.

Methods: The OPALINE study assessed the efficacy of everolimus and sunitinib in terms of survival, disease progression and tolerance.

Microbiological Diagnosis of Osteoarticular Infections: Comparison between BacT/Alert Bottles and Schaedler Broth.

Microbiological diagnosis of osteoarticular infections (OAIs) is based on culture on several media. Experts recommend the use of liquid media, such as Schaedler broth, but many laboratories use blood culture media with automated detection instead for convenience. We aimed to evaluate the performance of culturing in BacT/Alert (bioMérieux) bottles for the microbiological diagnosis of OAI culturing in Schaedler broth.

Biomechanical lower limb model to predict patellar position alteration after medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is a surgical treatment for patients with a varus deformity and early-stage medial knee osteoarthritis. Observations suggest that this surgery can negatively affect the patellofemoral joint and change the patellofemoral kinematics. However, what causes these effects and how the correction angle can change the surgery's impact on the patellofemoral joint has not been investigated before.

Impact of endometrial preparation on early pregnancy loss and live birth rate after frozen embryo transfer: a large multicenter cohort study (14 421 frozen cycles).

Study Question: Does the endometrial preparation protocol (artificial cycle (AC) vs natural cycle (NC) vs stimulated cycle (SC)) impact the risk of early pregnancy loss and live birth rate after frozen/thawed embryo transfer (FET)?

Summary Answer: In FET, ACs were significantly associated with a higher pregnancy loss rate and a lower live birth rate compared with SC or NC.

What Is Known Already: To date, there is no consensus on the optimal endometrial preparation in terms of outcomes. Although some studies have reported a higher pregnancy loss rate using AC compared with NC or SC, no significant difference was found concerning the pregnancy rate or live birth rate.

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Levels Are Higher in Male Patients with Non-Classic Fabry Disease.

Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal disease in which defects in the alpha-galactosidase A enzyme activity lead to the ubiquitous accumulation of glycosphingolipids. Whereas the classic disease is characterized by neuropathic pain, progressive renal failure, white matter lesions, cerebral stroke, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the non-classic phenotype, also known as cardiac variant, is almost exclusively characterized by HCM. Circulating sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has controversially been associated with the Fabry cardiomyopathy.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency: Sharing Experience of Disease Monitoring and Severity in France.

Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare inherited lipid storage disorder caused by a deficiency in lysosomal enzyme acid sphingomyelinase which results in the accumulation of sphingomyelin, predominantly within cells of the reticuloendothelial system located in numerous organs, such as the liver, spleen, lungs, and central nervous system. Although all patients with ASMD share the same basic metabolic defect, a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and outcomes are observed, contributing to treatment challenges. While infantile neurovisceral ASMD (also known as Niemann-Pick disease type A) is rapidly progressive and fatal in early childhood, and the more slowly progressive chronic neurovisceral (type A/B) and chronic visceral (type B) forms have varying clinical phenotypes and life expectancy.

Acceptance Mindfulness-Trait as a Protective Factor for Post-Natal Depression: A Preliminary Research.

(1) Background: the prevalence of postnatal depression (PND) reaches up to 20%. PND could be based on the interaction between a psychological vulnerability and chronic stress that pregnancy would activate. Vulnerability factors reflect a psychological profile mirroring mindfulness-trait (MT).

Psychological risk factors for the occurrence of frozen shoulder after rotator cuff repair.

Introduction: Frozen shoulder is a dreaded complication after rotator cuff repair.

Hypothesis: There are psychological determinants for this complication.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively included 77 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between May 2018 and April 2019.

Traitement médical de première ligne du cancer épithélial de l'ovaire de haut grade: First-line medical treatment of high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer.

In early stages, standard treatment is adjuvant chemotherapy, consisting of platinum-based combination for 6 cycles, especially in serous and endometrioid high grade carcinomas. In advanced stages, indication of neoadjuvant chemotherapy must be discussed on a case-by-case basis in multidisciplinary meetings (MDM). Bevacizumab can also be considered in the neoadjuvant setting in some circumstances, always after discussion in MDM.

Prise en charge chirurgicale du cancer épithélial de l'ovaire - première ligne et première rechute: Surgical management of epithelial ovarian cancer - first line and first relapse.

Based on recently published data, these recommendations present some evolutions in the surgical management of high grade epithelial ovarian cancers. In apparently early stages (FIGO I and II), surgical staging must be undertaken to confirm the absence of both peritoneal lesions and lymph node involvement (that might change stage and management). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not indicated, surgical exploration should be performed upfront, by laparotomy, to reduce the risk of rupture of the primary tumor.
