Abstract: International audience; Objective: The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of preoperative immunonutrition on a nationwide scale.Background: According to international guidelines, immunonutrition should be prescribed before major oncologic digestive surgery to decrease postoperative morbidity. Nevertheless, this practice remains controversial.Methods: We used a prospective national health database named “Echantillon généraliste des Bénéficiaires.” Patients were selected with ICD10 codes of cancer and digestive surgery procedures from 2012 to 2016. Two groups were identified: with reimbursement of immunonutrition 45 days before surgery (IN-group) or not (no-IN-group). Primary outcome was 90-day severe morbidity. Secondary outcomes were postoperative length of stay (LOS) and overall survival. Logistic regression and survival analysis adjusted with IPW method were performed.Results: One thousand seven hundred seventy-one patients were included. The proportion of different cancers was as follows: 72% patients were included in the colorectal group, 14% in the hepato-pancreato-biliary group, and 12% in the upper gastrointestinal group. Patients from the IN-group (n = 606, 34%) were younger (67.1 ± 11.8 vs 69.2 ± 12.2 years, P < 0.001), with increased use of other oral nutritional supplements (49.5% vs 31.8%, P < 0.001) and had more digestive anastomoses (89.4% vs 83.0%, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups for 90-day severe morbidity [odds ratio (OR): 0.91, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.73–1.14] or in survival (hazard ratio: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.73–1.08). LOS were shorter in the IN-group [−1.26 days, 95% CI: −2.40 to −0.10)].Conclusion: The preoperative use of immunonutrition before major oncologic digestive surgery was not associated with any significant difference in morbidity or mortality. However, the LOS was significantly shorter in the IN-group.

Abstract: Background: Previous controlled studies demonstrated seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) reduces malaria morbidity by &gt, 80% in children aged 3&ndash, 59 months. Here, we assessed malaria morbidity after large-scale SMC implementation during a pilot campaign in the health district of Koutiala, Mali. Methods: Starting in August 2012, children received three rounds of SMC with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (AQ). From July 2013 onward, children received four rounds of SMC. Prevalence of malaria infection, clinical malaria and anemia were assessed during two cross-sectional surveys conducted in August 2012 and June 2014. Investigations involved 20 randomly selected clusters in 2012 against 10 clusters in 2014. Results: Overall, 662 children were included in 2012, and 670 in 2014. Children in 2014 versus those surveyed in 2012 showed reduced proportions of malaria infection (12.4% in 2014 versus 28.7% in 2012 (p = 0.001)), clinical malaria (0.3% versus 4.2%, respectively (p &lt, 0.001)), and anemia (50.1% versus 67.4%, respectively (p = 0.001)). A propensity score approach that accounts for environmental differences showed that SMC conveyed a significant protective effect against malaria infection (IR = 0.01, 95% CI (0.0001, 0.09), clinical malaria (OR = 0.25, 95% CI (0.06, 0.85)), and hemoglobin concentration (&beta, = 1.3, 95% CI (0.69, 1.96)) in 2012 and 2014, respectively. Conclusion: SMC significantly reduced frequency of malaria infection, clinical malaria and anemia two years after SMC scale-up in Koutiala.

Abstract: Study Objective To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and morbidity of Essure® device removal via laparoscopic en bloc salpingectomy-cornuectomy resection (LSC) and the utility of confirmation of complete removal with an intraoperative X-ray of the removed specimen (IX-S). Design Retrospective observational cohort study. Setting Academic hospitals of La Conception, Marseille, and Arnaud-de-Villeneuve, Montpellier, France. Patients Women who were not seeking future fertility seeking Essure® device removal by salpingectomy, between February 2017 and August 2018. Interventions All women underwent LSC. An IX-S was performed to confirm complete Essure® device removal. In the case of an unsatisfactory IX-S, an intraoperative pelvic X-ray control of the patient (IX-P) was performed. If IX-P diagnosed residual Essure® fragments, an additional resection was performed, and the removed tissue was checked by IX-S. Measurements and Main Results We included 72 women, and a total of 140 Essure® devices were removed. The IX-S confirmed complete Essure® device removal in 131 of 140 cases (93.6%) in 63 of 72 women (87.5%). Out of the 9 women with unsatisfactory IX-S, 6 had no residual Essure® fragments at IX-P, and Essure® device removal was considered complete. Three women had a persistent Essure® fragment at IX-P: an additional resection allowed complete removal in 2 cases and resulted in failure in 1 of 140 case (0.7%). There were 2 of 72 women (2.8%) intraoperative complications and 4 of 72 women (5.6%) postoperative grade 1 complications according to the Clavien–Dindo classification. Conclusion Essure® device removal by LSC appears to be an effective and safe procedure. IX-S is a useful method to evaluate whether the removal of Essure® device is complete during an LSC procedure.

Abstract: Background and purposeFlow diverters are increasingly used for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Evaluation of the first devices available for clinical use showed high efficacy of this treatment although safety results were worse compared with coiling or balloon-assisted coiling. The Safety and Efficacy Analysis of FRED Embolic Device in Aneurysm Treatment (SAFE) trial is a single-arm, multicenter, prospective study conducted to precisely analyze the safety and efficacy of the FRED and FRED Jr devices.MethodsUnruptured and recanalized aneurysms located in the anterior circulation treated with FRED and FRED Jr were prospectively included. Adverse events were independently evaluated by a Clinical Event Committee with a vascular neurosurgeon and an interventional neuroradiologist. Primary safety outcome measures were morbidity and mortality rates at 6 months after treatment.ResultsA total of 103 patients/aneurysms were included in 13 interventional neuroradiology (INR) centers. Aneurysm locations were supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) in 71 (68.9%), cavernous ICA in 15 (14.6%), anterior cerebral artery or anterior communicating artery in nine (8.7%), and middle cerebral artery in eight (7.8%). Aneurysms were small (ConclusionsAneurysm treatment with the FRED device is safe with low mortality (1.0%) and morbidity (2.0%).Clinical trial registrationNCT02921698.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Patients with peripheral artery disease have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Antiplatelet agents are widely used to reduce these complications.METHODS: This was a multicentre, double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial for which patients were recruited at 602 hospitals, clinics, or community practices from 33 countries across six continents. Eligible patients had a history of peripheral artery disease of the lower extremities (previous peripheral bypass surgery or angioplasty, limb or foot amputation, intermittent claudication with objective evidence of peripheral artery disease), of the carotid arteries (previous carotid artery revascularisation or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis of at least 50%), or coronary artery disease with an ankle-brachial index of less than 0·90. After a 30-day run-in period, patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive oral rivaroxaban (2·5 mg twice a day) plus aspirin (100 mg once a day), rivaroxaban twice a day (5 mg with aspirin placebo once a day), or to aspirin once a day (100 mg and rivaroxaban placebo twice a day). Randomisation was computer generated. Each treatment group was double dummy, and the patient, investigators, and central study staff were masked to treatment allocation. The primary outcome was cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke; the primary peripheral artery disease outcome was major adverse limb events including major amputation. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01776424, and is closed to new participants.FINDINGS: Between March 12, 2013, and May 10, 2016, we enrolled 7470 patients with peripheral artery disease from 558 centres. The combination of rivaroxaban plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone reduced the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (126 [5%] of 2492 vs 174 [7%] of 2504; hazard ratio [HR] 0·72, 95% CI 0·57-0·90, p=0·0047), and major adverse limb events including major amputation (32 [1%] vs 60 [2%]; HR 0·54 95% CI 0·35-0·82, p=0·0037). Rivaroxaban 5 mg twice a day compared with aspirin alone did not significantly reduce the composite endpoint (149 [6%] of 2474 vs 174 [7%] of 2504; HR 0·86, 95% CI 0·69-1·08, p=0·19), but reduced major adverse limb events including major amputation (40 [2%] vs 60 [2%]; HR 0·67, 95% CI 0·45-1·00, p=0·05). The median duration of treatment was 21 months. The use of the rivaroxaban plus aspirin combination increased major bleeding compared with the aspirin alone group (77 [3%] of 2492 vs 48 [2%] of 2504; HR 1·61, 95% CI 1·12-2·31, p=0·0089), which was mainly gastrointestinal. Similarly, major bleeding occurred in 79 (3%) of 2474 patients with rivaroxaban 5 mg, and in 48 (2%) of 2504 in the aspirin alone group (HR 1·68, 95% CI 1·17-2·40; p=0·0043).INTERPRETATION: Low-dose rivaroxaban taken twice a day plus aspirin once a day reduced major adverse cardiovascular and limb events when compared with aspirin alone. Although major bleeding was increased, fatal or critical organ bleeding was not. This combination therapy represents an important advance in the management of patients with peripheral artery disease. Rivaroxaban alone did not significantly reduce major adverse cardiovascular events compared with asprin alone, but reduced major adverse limb events and increased major bleeding.FUNDING: Bayer AG.

Abstract: Karine Lacut, Grégoire Le Gal, Dominique MottierGETBO EA 3878, CHU de Brest, Department of Internal Medicine and Chest Diseases, Hôpital Cavale Blanche, Brest, FranceAbstract: Primary prophylaxis with the use of an effective and safe intervention appears the best approach of venous thromboembolism (VTE) management in medical elderly patients, the most affected by VTE. With increasing life expectancy, prevention of VTE, particularly in elderly patients, will arise as a major public health problem. Few well designed clinical trials evaluating thromboprophylaxis in medical settings were conducted in the specific population of geriatric patients. However, among the several pharmacological treatments evaluated, low molecular weight heparins enoxaparin 40 mg daily or dalteparin 5000 IU daily appeared effective and safe in the prevention of VTE in elderly patients. Despite available data, and recommendations for VTE prevention in medical patients, thromboprophylaxis is underused or misused in practice. Heterogeneity of clinical studies, selected populations, concern about bleeding, and lack of a clear clinical benefit are some of the reasons that could explain the gap between theory and practice. In this review, after a brief report of epidemiologic data and specificities of VTE in elderly patients, the authors discuss the available results of VTE primary prevention trials for elderly medical patients, the limitations of these data, and the challenges to improve the practice and to reduce the incidence of this frequent but preventable disease.Keywords: venous thromboembolism, prophylaxis, elderly patients, medical settings, review

Abstract: International audience; The AVENIR study is a pharmaco-epidemiological study, lead in Lorraine region (France) between 1st January, 2005 and 31st December, 2006, which aim at: evaluating the quality of therapeutic practices, delivered by nephrologists, for chronic kidney disease patients during the year preceding dialysis onset, assessing the association between quality of predialysis therapeutic practices and survival and hospitalization during the first year of dialysis, and health-related quality of life at dialysis onset. Several data were collected for the AVENIR study: demographic, clinical, biological and therapeutic data before dialysis, morbidity and mortality during dialysis treatment. These data were used for secondary analyses investigating the decline in glomerular filtration rate over the year preceding dialysis, the management of hypertension and proteinuria before dialysis, and characteristics and outcomes of patients with delayed dialysis initiation. Results from the AVENIR study have been published in various international journals. The aim of this manuscript is to present a summary of these results and the lessons we can learn for the nephrological practice.; L’étude AVENIR est une étude de pharmaco-épidémiologie, conduite en 2005 et 2006 en région Lorraine, et dont les objectifs principaux étaient : d’évaluer la qualité des pratiques néphrologiques de prise en charge médicamenteuse chez les insuffisants rénaux chroniques au cours de l’année précédant le démarrage de la dialyse, de mesurer l’impact de la qualité de ces pratiques sur la morbimortalité pendant la première année de dialyse et la qualité de vie à l’initiation de la suppléance rénale. De nombreuses données démographiques, cliniques, biologiques et thérapeutiques avant dialyse et de morbidité et mortalité pendant la dialyse, ont été recueillies dans le cadre de cette étude. Ces données ont permis de réaliser des analyses répondant à des objectifs secondaires de l’étude ; ces objectifs portaient sur déclin au cours du temps du débit de filtration glomérulaire dans l’année précédant la suppléance rénale, la prise en charge de l’hypertension artérielle (HTA) et de la protéinurie avant dialyse, le retard à l’initiation de la dialyse et ses conséquences sur la morbidité et la mortalité. Les résultats, correspondant aux objectifs principaux et secondaires de l’étude AVENIR, ont été publiés dans différentes revues internationales. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter une synthèse de ses résultats et les leçons à en tirer pour la pratique néphrologique.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: How tandem autologous-allogeneic stem cell transplantation should be integrated in the treatment of multiple myeloma remains controversial. We examined the long-term outcome of patients with multiple myeloma managed with tandem autologous-allogeneic stem cell transplantation and present a prognostic factor analysis based on the experience of the Société Française de Greffe de Moelle et de Thérapie Cellulaire (SFGM-TC). DESIGN AND METHODS: This French, retrospective, registry-based study included 146 patients who had undergone tandem autologous-allogeneic transplantation for multiple myeloma at 20 SFGM-TC centers between 1998 and 2010. The patients included in the study had fully completed the two steps of a planned tandem autologous-allogeneic transplantation. No treatment had to be administered between the autologous and allogeneic parts of the tandem procedure. RESULTS: Seventy-seven patients (53%) underwent tandem autologous-allogeneic transplantation as part of upfront treatment, i.e. after a single line of treatment not including autologous transplantation. The median follow-up from the allogeneic transplant was 47.5 months (range, 1.2-132 months). At 4 years, the overall survival and event-free survival rates were 48% (95% CI 39-57 %) and 27% (95% CI 19-36), respectively. Eighteen patients (12%) experienced grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease and 43 patients (30%) had chronic graft-versus-host disease. The transplant-related mortality rate at 1 year was 15% (95% CI 10-22). Patients receiving tandem transplantation as upfront treatment had significantly improved event-free survival (36% versus 11%; P=0.005) and overall survival (56% versus 34%; P=0.02). Donor's age ≤ 50 years was associated with improved event-free survival (35% versus 16%; P=0.005) and overall survival (54% versus 41%; P=0.02). In the multivariable analysis, upfront tandem transplantation, donor's age ≤ 50 years and full chimerism were independent prognostic factors for better outcome. CONCLUSIONS: We confirmed the feasibility of tandem autologour-allogeneic transplantation in heavily treated patients with multiple myeloma. We identified younger donor's age and upfront tandem transplantation as two independent prognostic factors for survival which could be further explored in prospective studies.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVE: To estimate the accuracy and reliability of the reporting of diagnoses and procedures related to severe acute maternal morbidity in French hospital discharge data. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: The study, conducted in four French tertiary teaching hospitals, covered the years 2006 and 2007 and 30,607 deliveries. We identified severe maternal morbid events-eclampsia, pulmonary embolism, procedures related to postpartum hemorrhages, and intensive care-in administrative hospital discharge data and medical records and compared their recording. Information from medical records was the gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value of the hospital discharge data for these events were calculated. False positives and false negatives were examined to identify the reasons for misrecorded information. RESULTS: The PPV of the hospital discharge data was 20% for eclampsia. For procedures related to postpartum hemorrhages, the PPVs were high, but sensitivities were lower; however, 95% of recording errors could be corrected. All indicators for intensive care exceeded 98%. CONCLUSION: Intensive care and procedures seem reliably reported in the hospital administrative database, which, therefore, can be used to monitor them. Using these data for monitoring diagnoses will require a greater investment by clinicians in the accuracy of their reporting.

Abstract: International audience; BACKGROUND: Governments need to increase the proportion of the population in work in most developed countries because of ageing populations. We investigated longitudinally how self-perceived health is affected by work and retirement in older workers. METHODS: We examined trajectories of self-rated health in 14 714 employees (11 581 [79%] men) from the French national gas and electricity company, the GAZEL cohort, for up to 7 years before and 7 years after retirement, with yearly measurements from 1989 to 2007. We analysed data by use of repeated-measures logistic regression with generalised estimating equations. FINDINGS: Overall, suboptimum health increased with age. However, between the year before retirement and the year after, the estimated prevalence of suboptimum health fell from 19.2% (95% CI 18.5-19.9) to 14.3% (13.7-14.9), corresponding to a gain in health of 8-10 years. We noted this retirement-related improvement in men (odds ratio 0.68, 95% CI 0.64-0.73) and women (0.74, 0.67-0.83), and across occupational grades (low 0.72, 0.63-0.82; high 0.70, 0.63-0.77), and it was maintained throughout the 7 years after retirement. A poor work environment and health complaints before retirement were associated with a steeper yearly increase in the prevalence of suboptimum health while still in work, and a greater retirement-related improvement; however, people with a combination of high occupational grade, low demands, and high satisfaction at work showed no such retirement-related improvement. INTERPRETATION: These findings suggest that the burden of ill-health, in terms of perceived health problems, is substantially relieved by retirement for all groups of workers apart from those with ideal working conditions, and that working life for older workers needs to be redesigned to achieve higher labour-market participation.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVE: To compare fetal and maternal morbidities between operative deliveries by long Teissier's spatulas and Minicup vacuum extractor. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted from January 2003 to July 2008 at the maternity ward, Besançon teaching hospital. Operative deliveries in term cephalic singleton pregnancies performed by Teissier's spatulas (case group) were compared to previous deliveries by vacuum extractor Minicup (control group). RESULTS: During the study period, 69 operative deliveries by Teissier's spatulas have been performed. No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of maternal characteristics. Two third-degree perineal tears occurred following delivery by Teissier's spatulas with no third-degree tear in the vacuum extractor group (p = ns). The episiotomy rate in the Teissier's spatulas group was 15,9% compared to 11.6% in the vacuum extractor group (p = ns). Duration of operative delivery was significantly shorter in the Teissier's spatulas group (3.4 min vs 4.95 min; p = 0.007). Fetal morbidity was identical in the two groups. CONCLUSION: This study found no significant difference in terms of fetal and maternal morbidities between operative deliveries by Teissier's spatulas and vacuum extractor. Moreover, as opposed to Thierry's spatulas, the long Tessier spatulas can be adequately used in accordance with patient's wish and practice guidelines recommending a policy of restrictive episiotomy. However, a larger study is needed to confirm these preliminary results.

Abstract: Objectives. We examined gender differences in mortality, morbidity, and the association between the 2. Methods. We used health data from 2 studies of middle-aged men and women: the British Whitehall II cohort of employees from 20 civil service departments in London and the 1989 French GAZEL (this acronym refers to the French gas and electric companies) of employees of France's national gas and electricity company. Participants were aged 35 to 55 years when assessed for morbidity and followed up for mortality over 17 years. Results. Male mortality was higher than female mortality in Whitehall II (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.28, 1.91) and the GAZEL cohort (HR = 1.99; CI = 1.66, 2.40). Female excess morbidity was observed for some measures in the Whitehall II data and for 1 measure in the GAZEL data. Only self-reported sickness absence in the Whitehall II data was more strongly associated with mortality among men (P = .01). Conclusions. Mortality was lower among women than among men, but morbidity was not consistently higher. The lack of gender differences in the association between morbidity and mortality suggests that this is not a likely explanation for the gender paradox, which refers to higher morbidity but lower mortality among women than among men.

Abstract: Following inflammation or infection, cytokines are released in the blood. Besides their effect on the immune system, cytokines can also act in the brain to modulate our behaviors, inducing for example anorexia when produced in large amount. This review focuses on our current knowledge on how cytokines can influence the brain and the behaviors through several possible pathways: modulating peripheral neurons which project to the brain through the vagus nerve, modulating the levels of hormones such as leptin which can act to the brain through the humoral pathway and possibly acting directly in the brain, through the local production of cytokines and chemokines such as SDF-1alpha/CXCL12.

Abstract: International audience; The incidence and determinants of severe morbidity recurrence in sub-Saharan African HIV-infected adults on antiretroviral therapy (ART) have never been reported. In a prospective cohort study of HIV-infected adults in Abidjan the association of severe morbidity occurrence and recurrence with follow-up CD4 counts and ART on/off status was analyzed by means of multivariate failure analysis for recurrent events (Prentice, Williams, and Peterson model). A total of 608 patients (median CD4 290/mm3 ) was followed off ART for 1824 person-years (PY). Of these 187 started HAART (median CD4 174/mm3 ) and were followed for 328 PY. The incidence of first, second, and third severe morbidity events was 40.6/100 PY, 68.4/100 PY, and 93.9/100 PY during the off-ART period, and 28.4/100 PY, 39.4/100 PY, and 37.6/100 PY during the on-ART period, respectively. The rates of recurrences were higher than the rates of first episodes for almost all diseases, even after stratifying by CD4 count and by ART on/off status. In multivariate analysis, the time-updated CD4 count was independently associated with increasing rates of morbidity first events and recurrences, after adjustment on other covariates (p > 10(4) ). By contrast, there was no association between the ART on/off status and the morbidity rates after adjustment for CD4 count (p = 0.37). Introducing ART led to a clear reduction in morbidity, mainly related to the ART-induced increase in CD4 count. In HIV-infected patients on ART, the incidence of severe morbidity varied with the past history of morbidity. The past history of morbidity should be taken into account when comparing HIV morbidity rates before and after ART initiation.

In a prospective cohort study of HIV-infected adults in Abidjan the association of severe morbidity occurrence and recurrence with follow-up CD4 counts and ART on/off status was analyzed by means of multivariate failure analysis for recurrent events (Prentice, Williams, and Peterson model). A total of 608 patients (median CD4 290/mm3 ) was followed off ART for 1824 person-years (PY). Of these 187 started HAART (median CD4 174/mm3 ) and were followed for 328 PY. The incidence of first, second, and third severe morbidity events was 40.6/100 PY, 68.4/100 PY, and 93.9/100 PY during the off-ART period, and 28.4/100 PY, 39.4/100 PY, and 37.6/100 PY during the on-ART period, respectively. The rates of recurrences were higher than the rates of first episodes for almost all diseases, even after stratifying by CD4 count and by ART on/off status. In multivariate analysis, the time-updated CD4 count was independently associated with increasing rates of morbidity first events and recurrences, after adjustment on other covariates (p > 10(4) ). By contrast, there was no association between the ART on/off status and the morbidity rates after adjustment for CD4 count (p = 0.37). Introducing ART led to a clear reduction in morbidity, mainly related to the ART-induced increase in CD4 count. In HIV-infected patients on ART, the incidence of severe morbidity varied with the past history of morbidity. The past history of morbidity should be taken into account when comparing HIV morbidity rates before and after ART initiation.

Abstract: International audience; Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is often asymptomatic, mis-diagnosed, and unrecognized at death, and there is a lack of routine postmortem examinations. These factors are thought to result in marked underestimates ofVTE incidence. The objective of our study was to estimate the total burden of VTE within the European Union (EU) per annum. An epidemiological model was constructed to estimate the number of community- and hospital-acquired incidents and recurrent cases (attack rate) of nonfatal VTE and VTE-related deaths, as well as incident and prevalent cases of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PH) occurring in the EU per annum. Individual models were developed for six EU countries. The models were populated with data from published literature and, where necessary, expert opinions. The findings were tested using probabilistic sensitivity analyses. The estimated total number of symptomaticVTE events (range based on probabilistic sensitivity analysis) per annum within the six EU countries was 465,715 (404,664-538,189) cases of deep-vein thrombosis, 295,982 (242,450-360,363) cases of pulmonary embolism (PE), and 370,012 (300,193-483,108) VTE-related deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 27,473 (7%) were diagnosed as being antemortem; 126,145 (34%) were sudden fatal PE, and 217,394 (59%) followed undiagnosed PE. Almost three-quarters of all VTE-related deaths were from hospital-acquired VTE. VTE is a major health problem in the EU, with over one million VTE events or deaths per annum in the six countries examined. Given the availability of effective VTE prophylaxis, many of these events and deaths could have been prevented. These results have important implications for the allocation of healthcare resources.

Abstract: International audience; OBJECTIVE: To assess self-reported morbidity and its determining factors in South Lebanon, with an emphasis on the influence of the habitat location (urban vs. rural) and gender. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey in 2000 among 524 South Lebanon residents >/=14 years sampled from a random sample of households using a multi-level cluster sampling technique. Data on self-reported morbidity, lifestyle and socioeconomic status were collected through interviews, using a standardized questionnaire. To evaluate deprivation, a new index was created; the modified 'Living Conditions Index'. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to test the effect of habitat and gender on self-reported morbidity. RESULTS: People in one-fifth of the households lived in precarious conditions. Illiteracy was significantly higher in rural than urban settings. Urban residents reported obesity, varicose veins, anxiety/depression and visual disorders more often. Illiteracy, headaches, lumbar pain, varicose veins and anxiety/depression were more frequently reported by women, whereas ulcers, hearing disorders, cardio-vascular diseases and their risk factors were more frequently reported by men. Precarious living conditions were associated with headaches, lumbar pains and insomnia. Individuals covered by a health insurance sought care more often than the uninsured. CONCLUSION: Habitat location had only a minor influence on self-reported morbidity; women perceived their health as poorer than men and a number of disease conditions were influenced by deprivation. Our study confirms that the epidemiological transition phenomenon had occurred in South Lebanon in 2000. Our community-based data can serve as a baseline for monitoring changes in health in South Lebanon in the future and especially those because of the war that emerged in July 2006.

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the major cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Traditional risk factors do not explain the high prevalence of CVD in this population, and other non-traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk markers have now been described. Therefore, the potential relationship between CVD and phenotypic and genotypic risk markers was investigated prospectively in incident dialysis patients cohort. The 279 patients (244 on hemodialysis, 35 on peritoneal dialysis) within the Diamant Alpin Dialysis Cohort Study were investigated. Phenotypic and genotypic parameters were determined at dialysis initiation, patients monitored over a 2-year period, and CV events (morbidity and mortality) recorded. Globally, 82 CV events occurred and 26 patients (9.3%) died from CVD, whereas 28 (10%) died from non-CV causes. Previous CV events were strongly predictive of CV events occurrence, whatever patients had had one (hazard ratio (HR) 2, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.1-3.5) or more (HR 3.9, 95% CI 2.1-7.1) CV accidents before starting dialysis. Both lipoprotein(a) (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1-2.5) and total plasma homocysteine at cutoff 30 micromol/l (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.8) were independent predictors of CV events outcome. In the subgroup of patients with homocysteine < 30 micromol/l, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) TT was the sole biological parameter predictive of CV event outcome (HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-10, P = 0.03). ESRD patients who enter chronic dialysis with a previous CV event, high total homocysteinemia levels, or MTHFR 677TT genotype must be considered at high risk of incident CV events.

Abstract: International audience; INTRODUCTION: Lung cancer is the most common cause of death from malignant disease in the world. Our objective was to describe the progression of this cancer's incidence, and the changing distribution of histological types in France between 1978 and 2000. METHODS: National incidence rates were obtained by modelling lung cancer incidence data provided by the French cancer registries, taking into account national mortality data. These registries also provided information about histological type. RESULTS: In the year 2000, with 28,000 estimated new diagnoses, lung cancer represented 10.0% of all incident cancers and was responsible for 18.1% of deaths from cancer. From 1980 to 2000, the incidence rose from 47.4 to 52.2 per hundred thousand in men and from 3.7 to 8.6 per hundred thousand in women. The risk of developing lung cancer, which remained constant in men, has increased considerably (+451%) between the generation of women born in 1953 and those born in 1913. The proportion of epidermoid cancers has dropped whilst that of adenocarcinomas has risen sharply. CONCLUSIONS: The last few years have seen a large increase in the incidence of lung cancer in women and an increasing incidence of adenocarcinoma in both men and women.

Abstract: International audience; Up to 10% of adults and 35% of children worldwide suffer from asthma. The incidence of asthma is also higher in children than in adults, possibly owing to a "cohort" effect. Recent population-based studies show that the increase in the prevalence of asthma noted worldwide in the past 30 years has started to subside in industrialised countries. This phenomenon has been accompanied by a parallel increase in the use of asthma medications. Possible explanations for this increase include the "hygiene hypothesis", which implicates diminished exposure to microbial pathogens but was recently challenged by new biological and immunological findings. Asthma might result from the interactions between individual and environmental factors (diet, air pollution, etc.), but further investigations are needed to understand the precise pathophysiological mechanisms of asthma.
