Multiple Addictions and Psychoeducation: What Standardisation Is Possible in Liaison Psychiatry?

Background: In liaison psychiatry, issues related to multiple substance use disorders are encountered, but systematic assessment and treatment protocols are lacking. The implementation of psychoeducation groups with earlier access could be one solution, but it raises the question of how to systematically approach psychoeducation for multiple substance use disorders.

Subject And Method: Based on a narrative review of multiple substance use disorders in liaison psychiatry and the proposed treatments, we aimed to identify the possible systematisation of standardised psychoeducation.

Alcohol Use Disorder in a University General Hospital: a Four-Year Observational Study of Liaison Psychiatry.

Background: Alcohol use disorder is insufficiently treated because it is poorly detected. Improved screening in general hospitals is a major issue in treatment organisation.

Subject And Method: Through a retrospective exploratory study based on a review of medical records over four years (2016-19) before the COVID pandemic, we recorded the number of liaison psychiatric referrals for alcohol use disorder and identified two indicators: follow-up care implemented and survival at three years.

How Psychiatrists' Beliefs on Free Will Influence Their Clinical Practice.

Backround: Literature suggests that most people believe in free will and that this belief is associated with more prosocial behavior. However, with the advent of neuroscience, free will seems to have been progressively excluded from psychiatry. This paper is a narrative literature review of the ways in which mental health professionals' premises and beliefs in free will influence their clinical practice.

Difficulties in Combining Somatic and Psychiatric Care in Psychogeriatry.

Background: This article attempts to understand the difficulties encountered in the articulation of health care, particularly between the organic and psychiatric aspects. It also aims to provide solutions to these collaboration issues.

Methods: We realized a literature review based on articles dated from 2002 to 2021 and selected from following databases: Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, Cairn, Psychinfo and Google.

Perinatal, metabolic, and reproductive features in PPARG-related lipodystrophy.

Objective: The adipogenic PPARG-encoded PPARγ nuclear receptor also displays essential placental functions. We evaluated the metabolic, reproductive, and perinatal features of patients with PPARG-related lipodystrophy.

Methods: Current and retrospective data were collected in patients referred to a National Rare Diseases Reference Centre.

Remote Assessment of Quality of Life and Functional Exercise Capacity in a Cohort of COVID-19 Patients One Year after Hospitalization (TELECOVID).

Studies have reported persistent symptoms in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 up to 6 months post-discharge; however, sequalae beyond 6 months are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the clinical status of COVID-19 patients one year after hospital discharge and describe the factors related to poor outcomes. We conducted a single-center, prospective, cohort study of patients in Le Havre hospital (France) between 1 March 2020 and 11 May 2020.

Health Literacy throughout adolescence: Invariance and validity study of three measurement scales in the general population.

Objective: To simultaneously investigate the psychometric properties of three recently developed health literacy measurement scales throughout adolescence in the general population.

Methods: French versions of the Health Literacy for School-Aged Children (HLSAC, unidimensional) scale, the Health Literacy Assessment Scale for Adolescents (HAS-A, multidimensional) and the 16-item European Health Literacy Survey questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16, unidimensional) were completed by 1 444 adolescents in 8th, 9th, 11th grade in general school and 11-12th grade in vocational school. Psychometric properties were studied using confirmatory factor analysis, McDonald's omega coefficient and hypothesis testing.

Role of Non-Invasive Respiratory Supports in COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Failure Patients with Do Not Intubate Orders.

The current gold-standard treatment for COVID-19-related hypoxemic respiratory failure is invasive mechanical ventilation. However, do not intubate orders (DNI), prevent the use of this treatment in some cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate if non-invasive ventilatory supports can provide a good therapeutic alternative to invasive ventilation in patients with severe COVID-19 infection and a DNI.

Muscle weakness, functional capacities and recovery for COVID-19 ICU survivors.

Background: Few studies have evaluated muscle strength in COVID-19 ICU survivors. We aimed to report the incidence of limb and respiratory muscle weakness in COVID-19 ICU survivors.

Method: We performed a cross sectional study in two ICU tertiary Hospital Settings.

Measurement properties of the one-minute sit-to-stand test in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis: A multicenter randomized cross-over trial.

Background: Functional exercise capacity assessment is recommended in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a valid evaluation of exercise capacity but can be technically complex. Inversely, the sit-to-stand test (STST) is a simple method to evaluate exercise capacity, and is validated in healthy children and adults with CF.

The relationship between maximal expiratory pressure values and critical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients: a post hoc analysis of an observational study.

Background: Little interest has been paid to expiratory muscle strength, and the impact of expiratory muscle weakness on critical outcomes is not known. Very few studies assessed the relationship between maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and critical outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between MEP and critical outcomes.

Clinimetric evaluation of muscle function tests for individuals with cystic fibrosis: A systematic review.

Accurate testing of muscle function is essential in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF). A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, PEDro, ScienceDirect and Web of Science according to PRISMA and COSMIN guidelines from inception to September 2019 to investigate the clinimetric properties of muscle tests in individuals with CF. The search identified 37 studies (1310 individuals) and 34 different muscle tests.

ICU outcomes can be predicted by noninvasive muscle evaluation: a meta-analysis.

Background: The relationship between muscle function in critically ill patients assessed using bedside techniques and clinical outcomes has not been systematically described. We aimed to evaluate the association between muscle weakness assessed by bedside evaluation and mortality or weaning from mechanical ventilation, and the capacity of each evaluation tool to predict outcomes.

Methods: Five databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Science Direct) were searched from January 2000 to December 2018.

A simple, no-cost method for 3D printed model identification.

3D printed models are often very similar in shape and can be inadvertently switched if the related patient is not identified correctly. Here, we present a free and simple method to imprint letters and numbers in a 3D model. CT scan data were used to create an STL file of a patient's mandible.

Changes in Cycle-Ergometer Performance during Pulmonary Rehabilitation Predict COPD Exacerbation.

Early diagnosis of COPD exacerbations is vital. Exacerbations are characterised by an increase in dyspnoea that could be affect physical capacity. Changes in the physical capacity of patients with COPD during pulmonary rehabilitation could provide a predictive indication regarding the occurrence of exacerbation.

Ebola virus RNA detection on fomites in close proximity to confirmed Ebola patients; N'Zerekore, Guinea, 2015.

Objective: Health care workers (HCWs) in contact with patients with Ebola virus disease (EVD) are exposed to a risk of viral contamination. Fomites contaminated with the patient's blood or body fluids represents this risk. Our study aims to detect Ebola virus (EBOV) RNA within the high- and low-risk areas of an Ebola treatment unit (ETU) located in inland Guinea during the 2014-2015 West African Ebola epidemics.

Simeprevir and daclatasvir for 12 or 24 weeks in treatment-naïve patients with hepatitis C virus genotype 1b and advanced liver disease.

Background & Aims: We investigated the efficacy and safety of simeprevir plus daclatasvir in treatment-naïve patients with chronic, genotype 1b hepatitis C virus infection and advanced liver disease, excluding patients with pre-defined NS5A resistance-associated substitutions.

Methods: This phase II, open-label, single-arm, multicentre study included patients aged ≥18 years with advanced fibrosis or compensated cirrhosis (METAVIR F3/4). Patients with NS5A-Y93H or L31M/V resistance-associated substitutions at screening were excluded.

French updated recommendations in Stage I to III melanoma treatment and management.

As knowledge continues to develop, regular updates are necessary concerning recommendations for practice. The recommendations for the management of melanoma stages I to III were drawn up in 2005. At the request of the Société Française de Dermatologie, they have now been updated using the methodology for recommendations proposed by the Haute Autorité de Santé in France.

How should proxies of cognitive reserve be evaluated in a population of healthy older adults?

Background: While some tools have been developed to estimate an individual's cognitive reserve (CR), no study has assessed the adequacy of the method used for assessing these CR proxy indicators. Therefore, we aimed to determine the most appropriate method to estimate CR by comparing two approaches: (1) the common assessment of CR proxies in the literature (e.g.

Addition of high-dose cytarabine to immunochemotherapy before autologous stem-cell transplantation in patients aged 65 years or younger with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL Younger): a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial of the European Mantle Cell Lymphoma Network.

Background: Mantle cell lymphoma is characterised by a poor long-term prognosis. The European Mantle Cell Lymphoma Network aimed to investigate whether the introduction of high-dose cytarabine to immunochemotherapy before autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) improves outcome.

Methods: This randomised, open-label, parallel-group, phase 3 trial was done in 128 haemato-oncological hospital departments or private practices in Germany, France, Belgium, and Poland.
