'We are all children of war': a qualitative inquiry into parenting following adolescents' recent traumatic exposure in a multiple crisis setting in Beirut, Lebanon.

Strong familial bonds are crucial to building resilience among youth exposed to traumatic events in socially adverse environments. Exploring parental experiences in the aftermath of adolescents' traumatic exposure in these settings would help tailor early interventions. We qualitatively explored experiences and perceived needs among parents of teenagers aged 11-16 years who were exposed in the last three months to a potentially traumatic event in Beirut, Lebanon.

Restrictive versus Decision Support Guided Fluid Therapy during Major Hepatic Resection Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Fluid therapy during major hepatic resection aims at minimizing fluids during the dissection phase to reduce central venous pressure, retrograde liver blood flow, and venous bleeding. This strategy, however, may lead to hyperlactatemia. The Acumen assisted fluid management system uses novel decision support software, the algorithm of which helps clinicians optimize fluid therapy.

Short and long-term acceptability and efficacy of extended-release cornstarch in the hepatic glycogen storage diseases: results from the Glyde study.

Background: Hypoglycaemia is the primary manifestation of all the hepatic types of glycogen storage disease (GSD). In 2008, Glycosade, an extended-release waxy maize cornstarch, was reported as an alternative to uncooked cornstarch (UCCS) which could prolong the duration of fasting in the GSD population. To date, there has been minimal published experience in (a) young children, (b) the ketotic forms of GSD, and (c) with daytime dosing.

Habenular volume changes after venlafaxine treatment in patients with major depression.

Background: Habenula, a hub brain region controlling monoaminergic brain center, has been implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD) and as a possible target of antidepressant response. Nevertheless, the effect of antidepressant drug treatment on habenular volumes remains unknown. The objective of the present research was to study habenular volume change after antidepressant treatment in patients with MDD, and assess whether it is associated with clinical improvement.

Community-acquired Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia in ICU: a multicenter retrospective study.

Background: Alongside the recent worldwide expansion of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) infections, the available literature regarding cases of community acquired pneumonias (KP-CAP) remains scarce but reports a strikingly high and early mortality. We performed a retrospective multicenter study (7 ICU in France) between 2015 and 2019, comparing prognosis and severity of KP-CAP versus Streptococcus pneumoniae - CAP (SP-CAP).

Methods: For each KP-CAP, three SP-CAP admitted in ICUs within the same center and within the same 6-month window were selected.

An International Survey of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Education and Credentialing Practices.

Background: The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has grown rapidly over the past decades because of evolving indications, advances in circuit technology, and encouraging results from modern trials. Because ECMO is a complex and highly invasive therapy that requires a multidisciplinary team, optimal education, training, and credentialing remain a challenge.

Objective: The primary objectives of this study were to investigate the prevalence and application of ECMO education and ECMO practitioner credentialing at ECMO centers globally.

Recommendations of the French Society of Rheumatology for the management in current practice of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica.

Objective: To develop recommendations for the routine management of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).

Methods: Following standard procedures, a systematic review of the literature by five supervised junior rheumatologists, based on the questions selected by the steering committee (5 senior rheumatologists), was used as the basis for working meetings, followed by a one-day plenary meeting with the working group (15 members), leading to the development of the wording and determination of the strength of the recommendations and the level of agreement of the experts.

Results: Five general principles and 19 recommendations were drawn up.

Immunovirological status in people with perinatal and adult-acquired HIV-1 infection: a multi-cohort analysis from France.

Background: No study has compared the virological and immunological status of young people with perinatally-acquired HIV infection (P-HIV) with that of people with HIV adulthood (A-HIV) having a similar duration of infection.

Methods: 5 French cohorts of P-HIV and A-HIV patients with a known date of HIV-infection and receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART), were used to compare the following proportions of: virological failure (VF) defined as plasma HIV RNA ≥ 50 copies/mL, CD4 cell percentages and CD4:CD8 ratios, at the time of the most recent visit since 2012. The analysis was stratified on time since infection, and multivariate models were adjusted for demographics and treatment history.

Optimising subjective grading of corneal staining in Sjögren's syndrome dry eye disease.

Aim: To assess whether smaller increment and regionalised subjective grading improves the repeatability of corneal fluorescein staining assessment, and to determine the neurological approach adopted for subjective grading by practitioners.

Methods: Experienced eye-care practitioners (n = 28, aged 45 ± 12 years), graded 20 full corneal staining images of patients with mild to severe Sjögren's syndrome with the Oxford grading scheme (both in 0.5 and 1.

Assisted reproductive technologies could be associated with higher risk of parenting difficulties in women with postpartum major depression.

No increased risk of postpartum major depression (PPMD) was reported in women conceiving through assisted reproductive technologies (ART). However, ART may be associated with a higher risk of parenting difficulties in women with PPMD. In 359 women with a PPMD admitted to a Mother-Baby Unit (MBU), ART-women (4.

CXCR4 WHIM syndrome is a cancer predisposition condition for virus-induced malignancies.

Warts, hypogammaglobulinaemia, infections and myelokathexis syndrome (WHIMS) is a rare combined primary immunodeficiency caused by the gain of function of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor. We present the prevalence of cancer in WHIMS patients based on data from the French Severe Chronic Neutropenia Registry and an exhaustive literature review. The median follow-up of the 14 WHIMS 'patients was 28.

Inclusion-body myositis associated with Sjögren's disease: clinical characteristics and comparison with other Sjögren-associated myositis.

Objectives: To describe the characteristics of patients with Sjögren's disease (SjD) and inclusion-body myositis (IBM), and how they compare to SjD patients with other inflammatory myopathies (IM).

Methods: Patients were retrospectively recruited from 13 French centers and included if they met the ACR/EULAR criteria for SjD and for IM. They were categorized as SjD-IBM if sub-criteria for IBM were met, or as SjD-other IM if not.

Cerebral dural arteriovenous fistulas in patients with PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome.

Central nervous system (CNS) dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) have been reported in PTEN-related hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS). However, PHTS-associated DAVF remain an underexplored field of the PHTS clinical landscape. Here, we studied cases with a PTEN pathogenic variant identified between 2007 and 2020 in our laboratory (n = 58), and for whom brain imaging was available.

French Society for Biological Psychiatry and Neuropsychopharmacology and French-speaking Marcé Society guidelines for the management of mood disorders in women before, during, and after pregnancy.

Purpose: The French Society for Biological Psychiatry and Neuropsychopharmacology and the French-speaking Marcé Society have joined forces to establish expert recommendations on the prescription of psychotropic drugs before, during, and after pregnancy in women with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD).

Methods: To elaborate recommendations, we used the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method, which combines scientific evidence and expert clinicians' opinions. A written survey was completed by 48 psychiatrists, who have expertise in the management of mood disorders and/or in perinatal psychiatry.

Risk of cardiovascular disease decreases over time in psoriatic arthritis but not in spondylarthritis: meta-analysis of longitudinal studies.

Objective: SpA and PsA represent two frequent inflammatory rheumatic disorders characterized by an increased burden on quality of life due to the association of several comorbidities, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD). The estimated prevalence of CVD ranges from 12 to 19% and differs between the two diseases, however, the incidence of CVD is not completely known. We aimed to systematically review the literature and perform a meta-analysis of controlled observational studies to assess the incidence rate of CVD over time in SpA and PsA.

PET KinetiX-A Software Solution for PET Parametric Imaging at the Whole Field of View Level.

Kinetic modeling represents the ultimate foundations of PET quantitative imaging, a unique opportunity to better characterize the diseases or prevent the reduction of drugs development. Primarily designed for research, parametric imaging based on PET kinetic modeling may become a reality in future clinical practice, enhanced by the technical abilities of the latest generation of commercially available PET systems. In the era of precision medicine, such paradigm shift should be promoted, regardless of the PET system.
