Anesthesia TeleConsultation for Pediatric preoperative assessment: a large national prospective multicentric study in children (TeleCCCAP)

Background: While interest in pediatric anesthesia teleconsultation is growing, published data remain scarce. This study evaluated the feasibility of anesthesia teleconsultation in children, providing a comprehensive analysis of failure, quality, dedicated time and satisfaction....

First characterization of Staphylococcus felis in diabetic foot osteomyelitis: from intracellular persistence to phage treatment

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus felis is a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) primarily associated with the feline microbiota and only rarely reported in human disease. Here, we report its implication in diabetic foot osteomyelitis, and provide the first comprehensive characterizat...

Combined Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension score, an integrated severity and treatment-oriented tool for idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a retrospective cohort study

IIH has evolved into a multidisciplinary condition managed across neurology, ophthalmology, interventional neuroradiology, and surgery. Existing tools address only partial aspects of disease severity; no unified, treatment-oriented classification exists to support multidisciplina...

Tozorakimab to Prevent COPD Exacerbations

BACKGROUND: Many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have exacerbations despite receiving standard-of-care inhaled maintenance therapy. Dysregulated interleukin-33 signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of COPD. Tozorakimab is a monoclonal antibody tha...

Changes in LVOT velocity–time integral during whole blood donation: implications for early detection of hypovolemia in spontaneously breathing patients

Early identification of hypovolemia remains challenging in emergency settings, as vital signs may remain normal during initial blood loss. Point-of-care echocardiography allows assessment of stroke volume through left ventricular outflow tract velocity–time integral (LVOT VTI), b...

From fluid loss to calcification: MRI and CT matrix features in cystic echinococcosis

Abstract Objective To characterize MRI matrix signal and CT calcification patterns across WHO-IWGE stages, compare them with lesion mimicking cystic echinococcosis (CE), and derive an MRI-based subclassification for inactive cysts. Materials and methods This retrospective multice...

Cost-utility study of cognitive-behavioural management of auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia: a study protocol

Abstract Background Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) affect 60–80% of patients with schizophrenia, causing significant distress and functional impairment. Although cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown to reduce AVH-related distress and relapse risk, its use rem...

Five Years of HCV Dried Blood Spot Testing in At‐Risk Populations and the Impact of Reduced Sensitivity on Missed Diagnoses

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Achieving HCV elimination requires diagnostic strategies capable of reaching underserved populations who remain poorly accessed by conventional healthcare pathways. Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling enables decentralised testing, but concerns remain regarding its...

Shoulder MRI for Forensic Age Estimation: Ossification Staging of the Proximal Humeral Epiphysis

Background/Objectives: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the proximal humeral epiphysis offers a radiation-free alternative for forensic age estimation in living individuals. This study aimed to characterize the relationship between chronological age and epiphyseal maturation u...

High uptake and adherence to cervical cancer screening among older French women based on a midwife-led outreach strategy and vaginal self-sampling: results from the RIDECA study

The acceptability and effectiveness of the invitation strategies using self-sample devices for cervical cancer screening are critical before further implementation. In France, participation of older women in cervical cancer screening remains low, and studies evaluating outreach s...

Adherence to Biologics and Psycho-cognitive Factors in Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Multicentric Cross-sectional Study

Background/Objective: Adherence to treatment in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) remains poorly documented, with estimates ranging from 28.2% to 70.6%. Psychological factors may influence adherence. This study aimed to assess adherence to biological disease-modifying antirheumatic...

Imaging in France: 2026 Update

France has seen significant advancements in radiology in recent years, driven by innovations in research and clinical practice. French groups have developed innovative imaging techniques and artificial intelligence applications in the field of diagnostic imaging and interventiona...

Prevalence and phenotypic profiles of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli across the human-animal-environment interface: a One-Health surveillance during the first year of implementation of the Tricycle project in Burkina Faso

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat. The WHO Tricycle protocol applies a “One Health” approach to monitor extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-Ec) in humans, animals, and the environment. This study was aimed at presenting t...

STABILOOP, a cohort trial to assess automated insulin delivery in the management of patients living with type 1 diabetes who are eligible for islet transplantation

A limited subset of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is affected by extreme glycemic lability and frequent unpredictable severe hypoglycemia, significantly impairing quality of life and associated with higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Islet transplantati...

Factors Associated With Progression From Level 1 to Level 2 Sensor‐Detected Hypoglycaemia in People With Type 1 and Insulin‐Treated Type 2 Diabetes: A Post Hoc Analysis From the Hypo‐ METRICS Study

ABSTRACT Aims We investigated the proportion of sensor‐detected hypoglycaemic (SDH) events progressing to level 2, and associated variables. Materials and Methods We used data from Hypo‐METRICS, which recruited people with type 1 (pwT1D) and insulin‐treated type 2 diabetes (pwT2D...

Nonfermenting Gram-Negative Bacilli Other Than Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter Species in Pediatric Blood Cultures: A Multicenter European Analysis

BACKGROUND: Nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli other than Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter species are increasingly recognized as opportunistic pathogens in pediatric populations, yet their epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance remain poorly defined. METHODS: We conducted a mul...

Vancomycin optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy

Optimal dosing of vancomycin in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to high pharmacokinetic variability. We aimed to develop individualised vancomycin dosing recommendations that optimise efficacy while minimising toxicity. Prospecti...
