French guidelines on TIPS: Indications and modalities
...
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has become essential in the treatment or prevention of portal hypertension-related complications. In the early 1990s, the primary indication was refractory bleeding. It is now proposed for the treatment of ascites for the prevention of bleeding and in patients with vascular diseases of the liver....
Human enteric nervous system progenitor transplantation improves functional responses in Hirschsprung disease patient-de...
...
OBJECTIVE: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a severe congenital disorder affecting 1:5000 live births. HSCR results from the failure of enteric nervous system (ENS) progenitors to fully colonise the gastrointestinal tract during embryonic development. This leads to aganglionosis in the distal bowel, resulting in disrupted motor activity and impaired ...
Optimization of orofacial cleft imaging protocols using device-specific low-dose cone-beam computed tomography
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to present optimized device-specific low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) protocols with sufficient image quality for pre-surgical diagnostics and three-dimensional (3D) modelling of cleft defects. METHODS: Six paediatric skulls were acquired, and an artificial bony cleft was created. A high-resolution ...
Patient engagement in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cell therapy: a survey by the EBMT patient engagement ...
...
The EBMT (European Blood and Marrow Transplantation Society) aims to connect patients, the scientific community, and other stakeholders to improve hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cellular therapy outcomes. We performed a cross-sectional online survey to understand the perceptions regarding Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and Patient Ac...
Leukocyte- and Platelet-Rich Fibrin versus Commercially Available Fibrin Sealants in Elective Cranial Surgery: A Cost-Mi...
BACKGROUND: Previous findings from a clinical trial demonstrated noninferiority of Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) compared to commercially available fibrin sealants in preventing postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage, necessitating intervention. This cost-effectiveness evaluation aims to assess the value-for-money of both technique...
The impact of different recovery positions on the perfusion of the lower forearm and comfort: A cross-over randomized co...
BACKGROUND: International guidelines recommend a side-lying recovery position for unresponsive individuals with normal breathing who do not require cardiopulmonary resuscitation. However, high-certainty evidence about an optimal recovery position is lacking. Recent guidelines recommend a position with the arm extended rather than bent, hypothesizin...
How reliable are lower limb biomechanical evaluations during volleyball-specific jump-landing tasks?
BACKGROUND: Biomechanical evaluations of sport-specific jump-landing tasks may provide a more ecologically valid interpretation compared to generic jump-landing tasks. For accurate interpretation of longitudinal research, it is essential to understand the reliability of biomechanical parameters of sport-specific jump-landing tasks. RESEARCH QUESTIO...
Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Model of Z-Endoxifen Concentrations in Tamoxifen-Treated Patients from the CEPAM Cohort
...
Tamoxifen is widely used in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The polymorphic enzyme CYP2D6 is primarily responsible for metabolic activation of tamoxifen, resulting in substantial interindividual variability of plasma concentrations of its most important metabolite, Z-endoxifen. The Z-endoxifen concentration thresholds below w...
