Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzes 290 cases of retinal vein and artery occlusions linked to COVID-19 vaccines in France, with most cases arising from mRNA vaccines (68% for vein occlusions) and an average onset delay of about 11-17 days.
  • - Nearly half of the patients with retinal vein occlusions had existing risk factors, primarily hypertension, and only a small number experienced positive rechallenges after the vaccine.
  • - Overall, while a temporal association exists between vaccinations and retinal occlusions, many cases were influenced by pre-existing health conditions, suggesting that the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the risks, particularly for mRNA vaccines.

Objectives: Consideration of the need to strengthen the commitment of professionals to the good care of the older population in hospitals has been emerging over the last several years. The steering committee of the geriatric sector of the hospitals of our Hospital Consortium (HC) has structured an accreditation project to promote the commitment of professionals to the good care of older adult patients in hospitals: the "Hospital Attentive to the Elder" (HAE) accreditation. This global approach aims to better adapt care to the needs of this population in the hospital and promote positive values (eg, kindness, attentive support).

Br J Haematol

November 2024

Hematology and Transplant Unit, French Reference Center for Aplastic Anemia, Saint-Louis Hospital, AP-HP, Université Paris Cité, Paris, France.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the blood-related characteristics and overall prognosis of 127 patients with telomere biology disorders (TBD) who were diagnosed after age 15, highlighting a lack of data on this topic.
  • At diagnosis, significant haematological issues were present in nearly 76% of patients, with bone marrow failure (BMF) being the most common, affecting 46.5% of the cases, while some patients also developed additional complications over time.
  • The findings suggest that BMF patients tend to be younger and have a better survival rate compared to those with higher-risk blood cancers, indicating TBD as a complex multi-organ disease needing further research on its evolutionary nature and outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Previous studies showed that biosimilars (bsDMARDs) and original treatments (boDMARDs) are similarly effective and safe, but less is known about their performance in naïve patients starting treatment for the first time.
  • This study aimed to compare the treatment retention rates of bsDMARDs and boDMARDs across different diseases (like RA, SpA, and PsA) and specific molecules (etanercept and adalimumab), while also identifying predictive factors influencing treatment retention.
  • Results indicated that bsDMARDs had a longer retention rate than boDMARDs (39 months vs. 23 months), particularly for etanercept in rheumatoid arthritis patients, and treatments containing citrate showed even better retention.*

Impact of a Very Short-Stay Post-Emergency Geriatric Unit on Early Readmissions.

Qual Manag Health Care

June 2023

Department of Geriatric Medicine (Drs Moyet, Bachelet, Delattre, Hannat, Defouilloy, and Bloch); Emergency Department (Drs Lesourd and Domisse); and Laboratory of Functional Neurosciences (Dr Bloch), University Hospital of Amiens-Picardie, Amiens, France.

Background And Objectives: In 2017, our French 1671-bed university hospital opened a 12-bed unit for very short stays, post-emergency (unit of transitory admission in geriatric [UTAG] area), dedicated to frail patients older than 75 years requiring short-term care. We sought to investigate whether this new organization's shortened length of stay (LOS) was associated or not with a higher rate of readmission.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study based on the daily activity of the UTAG over 6 months including all patients consecutively hospitalized in the unit via the computerized medical file of the hospital.

  • Long gap esophageal atresia (EA) presents significant challenges for pediatric surgeons compared to non-long gap EA/tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF), particularly in terms of patient outcomes at ages 1 and 6.
  • A study analyzed data from patients who underwent EA surgery in France, finding that those with long gap EA experienced more complications, longer hospital stays, and increased reliance on parenteral nutrition during the first year of life.
  • At the 6-year mark, patients with long gap EA had more digestive issues, although they showed less spine deformation, with no major differences in outcomes between initial treatment approaches of delayed primary anastomosis or esophageal replacement.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection that started in China in December 2019 has subsequently spread too many countries worldwide with high contagiousness. Given the spread and the current debate on the management and origin of intrafamilial clusters of COVID-19, this case highlights how essential it has become to prompt quarantine for the whole family and any contact member who may be at risk of infection. For this, the management of family clusters requires specific guidelines that need to be prepared to help clinicians and families to better face the disease, especially the risk of developing severe forms.
