Background  

The aim of the current study is to investigate the relationship between physical anhedonia and psychopathological parameters, pharmacological parameters or motor side-effects in a sample of inpatients with schizophrenia in an acute episode of their illness.     

Treatment of hepatitis B and C after liver transplantation. Part 1, hepatitis B

Abstract The outcome of OLT for HBV-related liver disease is dependent on the prevention of allograft re-infection. Over the past decade, major advances have been made in the management of HBV transplant candidates. The advent of long-term hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) administration as a prophylaxis against HBV recurrence, and the introduction of new antiviral agents against HBV infection, such as lamivudine (LAM), were a major breakthrough in the management of these patients. Results of OLT for HBV infection are similar to those achieved with other indications. Pre-OLT antiviral treatment such as LAM can suppress HBV replication before OLT and thus decrease the risk of re-infection of the graft. Combination prophylaxis with LAM and HBIG after transplantation highly effectively reduces the rate of HBV re-infection, even in HBV replicative cirrhotic, patients. The optimal HBIG protocol in the LAM era is yet to be defined: dosing of HBIG, routes of administration, and possibility of stopping HBIG. Several antiviral drugs have been developed for the management of HBV infection on the graft, so outcome is currently good.     

ESTS guidelines for intraoperative lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer.

The European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) organized a workshop dealing with lymph node staging in non-small cell lung cancer. The objective of this workshop was to develop guidelines for definitions and the surgical procedures of intraoperative lymph node staging, and the pathologic evaluation of resected lymph nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Relevant peer-reviewed publications on the subjects, the experience of the participants, and the opinion of the ESTS members contributing on line, were used to reach a consensus. Systematic nodal dissection is recommended in all cases to ensure complete resection. Lobe-specific systematic nodal dissection is acceptable for peripheral squamous T1 tumors, if hilar and interlobar nodes are negative on frozen section studies; it implies removal of, at least, three hilar and interlobar nodes and three mediastinal nodes from three stations in which the subcarinal is always included. Selected lymph node biopsies and sampling are justified to prove nodal involvement when resection is not possible. Pathologic evaluation includes all lymph nodes resected separately and those remaining in the lung specimen. Sections are done at the site of gross abnormalities. If macroscopic inspection does not detect any abnormal site, 2-mm slices of the nodes in the longitudinal plane are recommended. Routine search for micrometastases or isolated tumor cells in hematoxylin-eosin negative nodes would be desirable. Randomized controlled trials to evaluate adjuvant therapies for patients with these conditions are recommended. The adherence to these guidelines will standardize the intraoperative lymph node staging and pathologic evaluation, and improve pathologic staging, which will help decide on the best adjuvant therapy.     

Enterobacteriaceae isolated in nine general hospitals of the Ile-de-France in 1988 and 1989: susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics according to the length of hospitalisation

Susceptibility to beta-lactam antibiotics of strains of Enterobacteriaceae consecutively isolated in nine general hospitals during a period of 2 months (march and april) has been studied by the disk-agar diffusion method. The separation between susceptible and resistant strains was based on the measure of the inhibition zones centered by 2 disks: cephalothin and ticarcillin. Enterobacteriaceae were divided in 2 groups: strains isolated during the first 48 h of hospitalisation or isolated after. Fifty one per cent of the strains were isolated during the first 48 h: they did not belong to the residential flora of these hospitals. Klebsiella, Proteus indole positive, Providencia, Enterobacter, Serratia were more frequently isolated after 48 h of hospitalisation. Susceptible strains of Klebsiella, Proteus indole positive, Providencia, Serratia were more rarely isolated after 48 h of hospitalisation. E. coli whatever the duration of hospitalisation, is the less frequent susceptible bacterium.     

Salmonella typhimurium andSalmonella enteritidis: Changing epidemiology from 1973 until 1992

A retrospective analysis, covering a period of 20 years, of 2049 primo-isolates ofSalmonella typhimurium and 343 primo-isolates ofSalmonella enteritidis was performed at our laboratory. In 1991,S. enteritidis (43.8%) outnumberedS. typhimurium (32.1%) as the most frequently isolated Salmonella. The age group distribution ofS. enteritidis yielded peaks in the under-five and above-60 year age groups, whereasS. typhimurium only peaked in the under-five age group.S. enteritidis appeared to be twice as invasive asS. typhimurium. Both serotypes were more invasive in middle and older age groups than in under-fives.     

Balloon angioplasty for native coarctation of the aorta in children and adults: factors determining the outcome.

Balloon angioplasty was performed in 46 patients (age 2-40 yr) with discrete native coarctation of aorta. Patients with associated patent ductus arteriosus, aberrant subclavian artery and aneurysms were excluded. The peak systolic gradient across the coarcted segment decreased from 52.1 +/- 18.5 mmHg to 18.6 +/- 14.8 mmHg (p less than 0.001), and the diameter of the coarcted segment increased from 3.6 +/- 1.7 mm/m2 to 9.1 +/- 3.2 mm/m2 (p less than 0.001). Follow-up haemodynamic and angiographic studies performed in 21 patients at 13.1 +/- 6.9 months after angioplasty, showed good results in 15 patients. Four patients undergoing haemodynamic study and 4 other patients undergoing noninvasive evaluation were graded as having bad results at follow-up. In 5 of these patients the poor results were due to primary failure of angioplasty in relieving the gradient, and three developed re-coarctation after initial fall in the trans-coarctation gradient. Four risk factors were identified on univariate analysis, which were associated with significantly larger residual gradients at follow-up: (1) size of isthmus/size of coarcted segment ratio less than 3.0; (2) size of post-coarctation descending aorta/size of isthmus ratio greater than 1.75; (3) size of coarcted segment after angioplasty/size of coarcted segment before angioplasty ratio less than 2.0; and (4) size of balloon/size of coarcted segment ratio less than 3.0. The presence of one or more risk factors was associated with bad late results. On multivariate analysis the ratio of balloon size/coarcted segment size was found to be the sole independent predictor of the late outcome (p less than 0.02).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
