Guidelines for the management of women with severe pre-eclampsia
2021
Abstract Objective To provide national guidelines for the management of women with severe pre-eclampsia. Design A consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently of any industrial funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE®) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasised. Methods The last SFAR and CNGOF guidelines on t…
Effects of High Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (HF-rTMS) on Delay Discounting in Major Depressive Disorder: An Open-Label Unc…
2019
Background: Delay discounting (DD) refers to the decrease of a present subjective value of a future reward as the delay of its delivery increases. Major depressive disorder (MDD), besides core emotional and physical symptoms, involves difficulties in reward processing. Depressed patients often display greater temporal discounting rates than healthy subjects. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique applied in several countries to adult patients with treatment resistant depression. Studies suggest that this technique can be used to modulate DD, but no trial has assessed its effects on depressed patients. Methods: In this open-label unc…
Association of Birth Weight with Central and Peripheral Corneal Thickness in Adulthood-Results from the Population-Based German Gutenberg Health Stud…
2021
Low birth weight (BW) is associated with altered ocular geometry such as a steeper corneal shape in adulthood. However, it is unclear whether low birth weight affects corneal thickness development in the center or periphery in adulthood which may contribute to ocular disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate corneal thickness in former low birth weight individuals in adulthood. Methods: The German Gutenberg Health Study is a prospective, population-based study in which every participant (age range 40–80 years) was measured with Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam HR, Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany). BW was collected by self-reports. The relationship between birth weight and…
Plyometric muscular action tests in judo- and non-judo athletes
2011
The majority of explosive actions during the Judo fight occur when the athlete is trying to overcome his/her adversary via rapid execution(s) of (isolated or chained) technical manoeuvres. The aim of this study was to compare the results of two plyometric muscular action tests (i.e., Squat Jump – SJ, and Countermovement Jump – CMJ) between judoand non-judoathletes. The investigation involved a cross-sectional examination of 102 subjects (age, 21.9 ± 3.4 years) divided into 3 performance groups: a) Senior top elite judo athletes (n = 50), b) Junior elite judo athletes (n = 26) and c) Adult non-judo athletes (n = 26). Thirteen biomechanical variables (including jump height, velocity, power, f…

PROMOTION OF INTRATHYMIC T-CELL DEVELOPMENT BY MHC-Ia-POSITIVE THYMIC MACROPHAGES (Ia + Mø)
1985
The generation of the peripheral T-cell pool is attributed to maturation and differentiation events occurring within the thymus. Three thymic compartments, thymic epithelial cells, thymic hormons and thymic Mo are considered to contribute to the intrathymic T-cell development. While, as we have shown earlier, murine as well as human MHC-Ia-negative-Mo (Ia−Mo) regulate thymocyte (TH) differentiation via suppressive effects (Thymus,6:295,1984) and MHC-Ia+-Mo are involved in intrathymic tolerance induction (Pediatr Res,15:800, 1984), now the contribution of Ia+Mo to intrathymic lymphopoiesis was investigated. An isolation method yielding cell suspensions highly enriched for Ia+ thymic Mo was p…
1539 Length of Hospital Stay in Children with Acute Viral Pneumonia Treated with Corticosteroids, A Retrospective Study
2012
Background Corticosteroids with or without ephedrine may have positive effects in viral pneumonia treatment accelerating the time to resolution of symtpoms but the evidence is not strong enough to make specific recommandations. Objectives Evaluating the hospital length stay of the children with viral pneumonia treated with corticosteroids, single or in combination with ephedrine. Material and Methods The retrospective study included pacients admitted in our clinic with viral pneumonia during 2011. From 167 cases, 78 cases were selected according to specific criteria: patients having received cortisone (hydrocortisone hemisuccinate and/or fluticasone propionate) associated or not with ephedr…
Rare case of catastrophic diffuse hemorrhage complicating sepsis and meningitis due to Pasteurella stomatis in an elderly woman mimicking hemorrhagic…
2014
International audience; Cases of hemorrhagic septicemia because of Pasteurella were mainly in fallow deer, pigs, cattle, or horses generally in a tropical area where it is endemic. The infected animals present high fever, significant asthenia, diffuse hemorrhage, subcutaneous edema, hypersalivation, and diarrhea; sometimes, the disease can cause sudden death.2 The diagnosis of hemorrhagic septicemia does not refer to human beings.
