WEB shape modifications: angiography-histopathology correlations in rabbits.

Background: WEB Shape Modification (WSM) over time is frequent after aneurysm treatment. In this study, we explored the relationship between histopathological changes and angiographic evolution over time in experimental aneurysms in rabbits treated with the Woven EndoBridge (WEB) procedure.

Methods: Quantitative WSM was assessed using flat-panel computed tomography (FPCT) during follow-up by calculating height and width ratio (HR, WR), defined as the ratio between either measurement at an index time point and the measurement immediately after WEB implantation.

Neurocognitive and radiological follow-up of children under 5 years of age treated for medulloblastoma according to the HIT-SKK protocol.

Background: The HIT-SKK protocol is used for low/standard-risk medulloblastomas in young children with the aim to eliminate cranial irradiation and its neuropsychological (NP) sequelae. This therapy includes IV and intraventricular (ITV) methotrexate (MTX) potentially responsible for leukoencephalopathy (LE) and neurocognitive disorders. This study describes the risk factors and course of LE, and investigates its correlation with neurocognitive impact.

Outcome of children with IgA vasculitis with nephritis treated with steroids: a matched controlled study.

Background: IgA vasculitis (IgAV) is the most common vasculitis in children. IgAV long-term prognosis depends on kidney involvement or IgA vasculitis with nephritis (IgAVN). To date, steroid treatment (oral steroids or methylprednisolone pulses) has not proven to be formally efficient.

Perfusion gradients promote delayed perihaematomal oedema in intracerebral haemorrhage.

Perihaematomal oedema is a potential therapeutic target to improve outcome of patients with intracerebral haemorrhage, but its pathophysiology remains poorly elucidated. We investigated the longitudinal changes of cerebral perfusion and their influence on perihaematomal oedema development in 150 patients with intracerebral haemorrhage who underwent computed tomography perfusion within 6 h from onset, at 24 h and at 7 days. Perfusion parameters were measured in haemorrhagic core, perihaematomal rim, surrounding normal appearing and contralateral brain tissue.

Validation of the first computerized indicator for orthopaedic surgical site infections in France: ISO-ORTHO.

Background: The French national authority for health (HAS) develops in-hospital indicators for improving quality of care, safety and patient outcome. Since 2017, it has developed a measurement of surgical site infections (SSI) after total hip or knee arthroplasty (TH/KA) by using a computerized indicator, called ISO-ORTHO, based on a hospital discharge database (HDD) algorithm. The aim of the study was to assess the performance of this new indicator .

Point-of-care ultrasonography for risk stratification of non-critical suspected COVID-19 patients on admission (POCUSCO): A prospective binational study.

Background: Lung point-of-care ultrasonography (L-POCUS) is highly effective in detecting pulmonary peripheral patterns and may allow early identification of patients who are likely to develop an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that L-POCUS performed within the first 48 hours of non-critical patients with suspected COVID-19 would identify those with a high-risk of worsening.

Methods: POCUSCO was a prospective, multicenter study.

Rescue intracranial permanent stenting for refractory occlusion following thrombectomy: a propensity matched analysis.

Background: Rescue intracranial stenting (RIS) can be used in refractory large vessel occlusion (LVO) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of RIS versus a propensity matched sample of patients with persistent LVO.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed a multicenter retrospective pooled cohort of patients with anterior LVO (2015-2021) treated with MT, and identified patients with at least three passes and a modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score of 0 to 2a.

Interaction between intravenous thrombolysis and clinical outcome between slow and fast progressors undergoing mechanical thrombectomy: a post-hoc analysis of the SWIFT-DIRECT trial.

Background: In proximal occlusions, the effect of reperfusion therapies may differ between slow or fast progressors. We investigated the effect of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) (with alteplase) plus mechanical thrombectomy (MT) versus thrombectomy alone among slow versus fast stroke progressors.

Methods: The SWIFT-DIRECT trial data were analyzed: 408 patients randomized to IVT+MT or MT alone.

Outcomes with Endovascular Treatment of Patients with M2 Segment MCA Occlusion in the Late Time Window.

Background And Purpose: Randomized trials in the late window have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy in large-vessel occlusions. Patients with M2-segment MCA occlusions were excluded from these trials. We compared outcomes with endovascular thrombectomy in patients with M2-versus-M1 occlusions presenting 6-24 hours after symptom onset.

The molecular basis of p21-activated kinase-associated neurodevelopmental disorders: From genotype to phenotype.

Although the identification of numerous genes involved in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has reshaped our understanding of their etiology, there are still major obstacles in the way of developing therapeutic solutions for intellectual disability (ID) and other NDDs. These include extensive clinical and genetic heterogeneity, rarity of recurrent pathogenic variants, and comorbidity with other psychiatric traits. Moreover, a large intragenic mutational landscape is at play in some NDDs, leading to a broad range of clinical symptoms.

French survey of sedation practices for pediatric magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging.

Background: Pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tompgraphy (CT) require patient immobility and therefore often require sedation or general anesthesia of patients. Consensus on these procedures is lacking in France.

Objective: Thus, the aim of this study was to describe the current sedation practices for pediatric MRI and CT in France.

Lateral elbow ligament reconstruction for posterolateral rotatory instability: 10 years follow-up in 32 patients.

Background: Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is the most frequent form of both acute and chronic elbow instability. It is due to mechanical incompetence of the lateral collateral ligament. O'Driscoll et al described treatment of this instability by autologous reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament.

"National survey for preliminary evaluation of neuroradiological protocols in patients with infective endocarditis".

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify imaging protocols in patients with infective endocarditis through a nationwide survey.

Methods: An electronic evolutionary survey was sent to interventional Neuroradiologists among neuroradiological centers, under the aegis of the Société Française de Neuroradiologie. Among 33 contacted centers, 25 completed the survey (21 universitary hospitals and 4 peripheric hospitals).

Peripheral facial palsy post SARS-CoV-2 vaccine: A regional pharmacovigilance cases series.

Peripheral facial palsy (PFP) is a rare adverse reaction identified from clinical trials of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines (messenger ribonucleic acid [mRNA] and viral vector). Few data are available on their onset patterns and risk of recurrence after re-injection of a COVID-19 vaccine; the objective of this study was to describe PFP cases attributed to COVID-19 vaccines. All cases of facial paralysis reported to the Regional Pharmacovigilance Center of Centre-Val de Loire area between January and October 2021, in which the role of a COVID-19 vaccine was suspected, were selected.

Development of a New Index to Assess Small Bowel Inflammation Severity in Crohn's Disease Using Magnetic Resonance Enterography.

Background: The severity of small bowel (SB) inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD) patients is a key component of the therapeutic choice. We aimed to develop a SB-CD Magnetic Resonance Enterography (MRE) index of Inflammation Severity (CDMRIS).

Methods: Each gastroenterologist/radiologist pair in 13 centers selected MREs from 6 patients with SB-CD stratified on their perceived MRE inflammation severity.

Posterolateral stabilization of the elbow by autologous ligament reconstruction to limit long-term development of osteoarthritis.

Background: Posterolateral instability is the most frequent form of both acute and chronic elbow instability. Joint incongruity due to posterolateral unlocking leads to shear and compression stress of the internal aspect of the humeroulnar joint. We carried out long-term analysis of patients with posterolateral elbow instability in order to determine whether, in addition to improving their symptoms, reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligament complex may play a protective role against the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Distinct regulations driving YAP1 expression loss in poroma, porocarcinoma and RB1-deficient skin carcinoma.

Aims: Recently, YAP1 fusion genes have been demonstrated in eccrine poroma and porocarcinoma, and the diagnostic use of YAP1 immunohistochemistry has been highlighted in this setting. In other organs, loss of YAP1 expression can reflect YAP1 rearrangement or transcriptional repression, notably through RB1 inactivation. In this context, our objective was to re-evaluate the performance of YAP1 immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of poroma and porocarcinoma.
