Soins ambulatoires et facteurs associés à la réhospitalisation précoce des sujets âgés (65+) après un infarctus du myocarde : étude observationnelle …
2017
Etat de la question Les rehospitalisations precoces (RHP), dans les 30 jours suivant la sortie d’hospitalisation, sont frequentes chez les sujets âges, notamment apres un infarctus du myocarde (IDM). Elles augmentent la morbi-mortalite et les depenses de sante. Il a ete demontre qu’une meilleure organisation de la sortie d’hospitalisation reduit significativement le risque de RHP. Neanmoins, il n’existe aucune recommandation sur le suivi ambulatoire en sortie d’hospitalisation. L’objectif de l’etude etait d’analyser les soins ambulatoires post-hospitaliers et les facteurs associes a la RHP des sujets âges apres un IDM. Materiel et methodes Etude observationnelle retrospective a partir des d…
Impact of viable CD45 cells infused on lymphocyte subset recovery after unrelated cord blood transplantation in children
2010
International audience; We studied lymphocyte recovery in 88 children who consecutively underwent unrelated cord blood transplantation for malignant (n = 64) or nonmalignant (n = 24) diseases. All children but 3 received myeloablative conditioning regimens with pretransplant antithymocyte globulin. Median age was 5.6 years (0.1-18 years) and median follow-up was 40 months (10-136 months). The median dose of infused viable CD45(+) cells (vCD45) was 3.35 × 10(7)/kg with a ratio infused vCD45/collected total nucleated cell at 0.46. Immunologic endpoints were: time to achieve CD3(+) >500 and 1500/mm(3), CD4(+) >500/mm(3), CD8(+) >250/mm(3), CD19(+) >200/mm(3), natural killer >100/mm(3). These e…
Factors of good visual outcome in acute post-cataract endophthalmitis (friends group)
2009
International audience; Purpose: To analyze initial clinical factors of good visual outcome in patients with acute endophthalmitis following cataract surgery. Methods: A prospective study was performed in 4 University hospital (Dijon, Grenoble, Lyon, Saint-Etienne, FRIENDS group) on 100 patients with acute post-cataract endophthalmitis. Factors related to cataract surgery (complications), the initial presentation and the microbiological identification were analyzed according to the final visual outcome using univariate and multivariate analysis (SPSS 12.0). Results: 46% out of the patients had a final visual acuity less than or equal to 0.3 logMar (good visual outcome) at 6 months while 10%…
Functional response of species to multiscale landscape structure in a vector-borne disease
2007
International audience; The functional response of species to landscape is a recurring issue in landscape ecology. The scale levels favourable to the parasite responsible for a vector-borne disease, alveolar echinococcosis, have been explored in the Doubs department in eastern France. The method consists in maximizing landscape composition's heterogeneity in the environment of infected and non-infected georeferenced samples at various scales. The aim is to identify scale levels at which the positive samples' landscapes are the most specific and differ the most from the landscape in the environment of all samples. Three scales were identified and the distance to the positive samples' composi…
Comparaison des caractéristiques et des motivations des médecins expatriés français et britanniques
2015
Resume Position du probleme Les phenomenes migratoires dans les populations de medecins etant encore peu etudies, malgre l’importante de connaitre la demographie medicale, cette etude vise a determiner les caracteristiques et les motivations des medecins francais installes au Royaume-Uni et des medecins britanniques installes en France. Methodes Il s’agit d’une etude transversale par auto-questionnaire adresse en 2005 a tous les medecins francais exercant en Grande-Bretagne et en 2009 a tous les medecins britanniques exercant en France, en utilisant les donnees officielles des conseils nationaux de medecins. Ce questionnaire, developpe pour l’etude et envoye par courrier, explorait les moti…
Detección precoz de la hipoacusia, influencia en el diagnóstico y en el tratamiento temprano
2021
Detección precoz de la hipoacusia, influencia en el diagnóstico y en el tratamiento temprano. INTRODUCCIÓN: La hipoacusia es el déficit sensorial mas frecuente en los países desarrollados. La prevalencia de cualquier grado de hipoacusia es de un 2-3 % de la población infantil y el 80% de las mismas, está presente al nacimiento. Los programa de screening auditivo (SA) se justifican por la alta incidencia de la hipoacusia y sus consecuencias devastadoras para el lenguaje cuando no se detecta precozmente. OBJETIVO: Establecer el número de niños diagnosticados de hipoacusia congénita gracias al SA en el hospital Universitario La Fe. Analizamos las técnicas utilizadas en el cribado, los parámetr…
Sentinel Lymph Node in Aged Endometrial Cancer Patients “The SAGE Study”: A Multicenter Experience
2021
ObjectiveThe incidence of endometrial cancer is increasing in elderly people. Considering that aging progressively affects lymphatic draining function, we aimed to define its impact on IGC uptake during SLN mapping.MethodsA multicenter retrospective cohort of endometrial cancer patients with apparently early-stage endometrial cancer undergoing complete surgical staging with SLN dissection was identified in four referral cancer centers from May 2015 to March 2021. Patients were classified in Group 1 (<65 years old) and Group 2 (≥65 years old). The primary endpoint was the assessment of the overall, bilateral, and unsuccessful SLN mapping in the two groups. Secondary outcomes were the …
Validity, reliability, and responsiveness of daily monitoring visual analog scales in MASK-air®
2021
International audience; Background: MASK-air® is an app that supports allergic rhinitis patients in disease control. Users register daily allergy symptoms and their impact on activities using visual analog scales (VASs). We aimed to assess the concurrent validity, reliability, and responsiveness of these daily VASs. Methods: Daily monitoring VAS data were assessed in MASK-air® users with allergic rhinitis. Concurrent validity was assessed by correlating daily VAS values with those of the EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) VAS, the Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) score, and the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Allergic Specific (WPAI-AS) Questionnaire (work and activi…

Quantity and Quality of Aquaculture Enrichments Influence Disease Epidemics and Provide Ecological Alternatives to Antibiotics
2021
Environmental heterogeneity is a central component influencing the virulence and epidemiology of infectious diseases. The number and distribution of susceptible hosts determines disease transmission opportunities, shifting the epidemiological threshold between the spread and fadeout of a disease. Similarly, the presence and diversity of other hosts, pathogens and environmental microbes, may inhibit or accelerate an epidemic. This has important applied implications in farming environments, where high numbers of susceptible hosts are maintained in conditions of minimal environmental heterogeneity. We investigated how the quantity and quality of aquaculture enrichments (few vs. many stones
