Introduction: Acute appendicitis represents the commonest cause of acute intra-abdominal pathology. Appendectomy and antibiotics are the mainstay of therapy for appendicitis. Evidence is emerging that antibiotics alone may adequately treat most cases of appendicitis.

Introduction: The management approach for acute appendicitis has been challenged in recent years, with numerous randomized controlled trials demonstrating that antibiotics/conservative management is an efficacious treatment, with lower complication rates.
Methods: A national survey of all consultant general surgeons evaluating their practices was performed. Reasons for changed practices, choice of antibiotics and follow-up investigations were evaluated.

We describe a slowly progressive myopathy in 7 unrelated adult patients with storage of polyglucosan in muscle fibers. Genetic investigation revealed homozygous or compound heterozygous deleterious variants in the glycogenin-1 gene (GYG1). Most patients showed depletion of glycogenin-1 in skeletal muscle, whereas 1 showed presence of glycogenin-1 lacking the C-terminal that normally binds glycogen synthase.

The objective of this study was to identify profiles of gamblers to explain the choice of preferred gambling activity among both problem and non-problem gamblers. 628 non-problem and problem gamblers were assessed with a structured interview including "healthy" (sociodemographic characteristics, gambling habits and personality profile assessed with the Temperament and Character Inventory-125) and "pathological" [diagnosis of pathological gambling, gambling-related cognitions (GRCs) and psychiatric comorbidity] variables. We performed a two-step cluster analysis based solely on "healthy" variables to identify gamblers' profiles which typically reflect the choice of preferred gambling activity.

Background: A significant percentage of pneumothorax in women is due to thoracic endometriosis. Pathophysiologic mechanisms continue to be debated, and pathologic aspects are poorly known.
Methods: Clinical and pathologic records of all consecutive women of reproductive age operated on for pneumothorax between 2000 and 2011 were retrospectively reviewed.

Introduction: Interprosthetic femoral fractures are rare and raise unresolved treatment issues such as the length of the fixation material that best prevents secondary fractures. Awareness of the advantages of locked-plate fixation via a minimally invasive approach remains limited, despite the potential of this method for improving success rates.
Hypothesis: Femur-spanning (from the trochanters to the condyles) locked-plate fixation via a minimally invasive approach provides high healing rates with no secondary fractures.

Identification of myocardial infarction (MI) by imaging is critical for clinical management of ischemic heart disease. Iodine-123-labeled hypericin (¹²³I-Hyp) is a new potent infarct avid agent. We sought to compare target selectivity and organ distribution between ¹²³I-Hyp and the myocardial perfusion agent, technetium-99m-labeled hexakis [2-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile] ((99m)Tc-Sestamibi) in rabbits with acute MI.

Introduction: The value and risk of simultaneous total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with bilateral knee arthritis is a subject of debate.
Hypotheses: The risk of complications following simultaneous bilateral TKA will be increased compared to the rates published in the literature for unilateral TKA, and the clinical and functional outcomes will be poorer in this particular group.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and twenty-three patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA between 2005 and 2011 in five specialized, high volume centers were evaluated.

The advent of robot-assisted surgery is a surgical revolution. However, the costs of installing and using a da Vinci system are impediments to the proliferation of this technology. This article reviews the locations of robotic surgical systems worldwide and in France, in 2010.

Objective: To address the mechanisms of the thrombocytopoietic dysfunction that may follow HIV infection and to compare peripheral blood and bone marrow as sources of CD34 progenitor cells in HIV-infected patients.
Methods: The study used CD34 progenitor cells from 20 previously untreated HIV-infected individuals, 20 HIV-infected individuals treated with antiretroviral therapy and a control group of 20 HIV-uninfected healthy individuals to examine in-vitro megakaryocytopoiesis. There were no hematological abnormalities at baseline in the study groups.

Many systems have been proposed to assess the degree of functional impairment in patients with chronic heart failure in order to be able to draw comparisons between patients and assess the development of the disease in the same patient. The NYHA classification is subjective and insufficiently reproducible and has no real predictive value with respect to the exertion test. The Canadian classification does not contribute much in terms of validation.

In geriatric care, deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is mostly diagnosed by noninvasive techniques. The objectives of this prospective study were: (1) to evaluate the power of ELISA plasma D-dimer assay versus ultrasound (US) in ruling out acute DVT of the lower limbs in symptomatic geriatric inpatients, and (2) to determine the most effective D-dimer cutoff value over the age of 70 years. Over a 10-month period, inpatients with suspected lower limb DVT simultaneously underwent US examination and ELISA plasma D-dimer assay.
