    Abstract There is accumulating evidence demonstrating that early treatment leads to better outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis. In order to be treated early, patients thus need to be identified at the earliest possible stage. This means identifying patients with rheumatoid arthritis at their earliest clinical signs but it could also mean screening for healthy individuals at high risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. The different tools available to screen for these individuals are reviewed here and their relevance is discussed.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to review the use of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) in sickle cell disease (SCD) for pediatric patients with vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) in our institution and to compare the effect of early vs late PCA start on pain relief and LOS.
    Methods: This retrospective study included all pediatric patients treated with PCA for a severe VOC from 2010 to 2016. "Early-PCA" was defined as start of PCA within 48 hours of arrival. Time to reach adequate analgesia was defined as the time to reach 2 consecutive pain scores less than 5/10 at 4-hour interval.
    Results: During the study period, 46 patients presented 87 episodes of VOC treated with PCA. Sixty-three patients with VOC were treated with Early-PCA and 24 with Late-PCA. Both groups were comparable except for median pain score at admission; the Early-PCA group had higher scores: 9.0/10 vs 7.0/10. Time to reach adequate analgesia could be evaluated only in a subset of patients (n = 32) but was shorter in the Early-PCA group with a median difference of 41.0 hours (95% CI -82.0 to -6.0). Early-PCA was associated with a median reduction in LOS of 3.4 days (95% CI -4.9 to -1.9). There was no difference between the 2 groups in terms of side effects and occurrence of acute chest syndrome during hospitalization.
    Conclusions: In this study, a reduced time to reach adequate analgesia and LOS was noted in the Early-PCA group for severe VOC. A prospective study is required to confirm these results.

    Abstract Several children receiving palliative care experience dyspnea and pain. An order protocol for distress (OPD) is available at Sainte-Justine Hospital, aimed at alleviating respiratory distress, pain and anxiety in pediatric palliative care patients. This study evaluates the clinical use of the OPD at Sainte-Justine Hospital, through a retrospective chart review of all patients for whom the OPD was prescribed between September 2009 and September 2012. Effectiveness of the OPD was assessed using chart documentation of the patient's symptoms, or the modified Borg scale. Safety of the OPD was evaluated by measuring the time between administration of the first medication and the patient's death, and clinical evolution of the patient as recorded in the chart. One hundred and four (104) patients were included in the study. The OPD was administered at least once to 78 (75%) patients. A total of 350 episodes of administration occurred, mainly for respiratory distress (89%). Relief was provided in 90% of cases. The interval between administration of the first protocol and death was 17 h; the interval was longer in children with cancer compared to other illnesses (

    Title translation Administration de dexmédétomidine intraveineuse pour le traitement des frissons pendant un accouchement par césarienne sous anesthésie neuraxiale : une étude randomisée contrôlée.
    Abstract Purpose: About 55% of patients undergoing a Cesarean delivery under spinal or epidural anesthesia will experience shivering, which may interfere with the monitoring of vital signs. Recent studies have shown that dexmedetomidine could potentially help to alleviate shivering associated with anesthesia. We investigated whether dexmedetomidine, an alpha 2-adrenergic agonist, reduces the duration of shivering associated with neuraxial anesthesia during Cesarean delivery.
    Methods: Eighty parturients undergoing Cesarean delivery under neuraxial anesthesia and experiencing shivering were enlisted in this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial. After childbirth, the intervention group (n = 40) received a single intravenous bolus of dexmedetomidine (30 µg) while the control group (n = 40) received saline. Randomization and allocation were based on a computer-generated list. The primary outcome measure was the time required for an observable decrease in shivering after the intervention.
    Results: One hundred fifty-five patients were recruited, 80 of whom presented with shivering and were randomized. Our study showed that dexmedetomidine reduced the mean (standard deviation) duration of shivering after a single intravenous bolus to 2.6 (2.1) min after dexmedetomidine from 17.9 (12.6) min after saline (difference in means, -15.3 min; 95% confidence interval [CI], -11.2 to -19.4). The effect of dexmedetomidine persisted 15 min after the bolus was administered, as shivering had completely stopped in 90% of the patients in the intervention group vs 22.5% in the control group (relative risk, 4.0; 95% CI, 2.2 to 7.2). No adverse effects, including bradycardia, were observed.
    Conclusion: A single intravenous bolus of dexmedetomidine decreased the duration of shivering for up to 15 min during Cesarean delivery under neuraxial anesthesia.

    Abstract Several children receiving palliative care experience dyspnea and pain. An order protocol for distress (OPD) is available at Sainte-Justine Hospital, aimed at alleviating respiratory distress, pain and anxiety in pediatric palliative care patients.

The interval between administration of the first protocol and death was 17 h; the interval was longer in children with cancer compared to other illnesses (p = 0.02). Data from this study support the effectiveness and safety of using an OPD for children receiving palliative care.

    Abstract Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has been used to treat malignant and non-malignant diseases. UCBT offers the advantages of easy procurement and acceptable partial HLA mismatches, but also shows delayed hematopoietic and immunological recoveries. We postulated that an intrabone (IB) infusion of cord blood could provide a faster short- and long-term engraftment in a pediatric population with malignant and non-malignant hematologic diseases. We conducted this phase I-II single arm, exploratory clinical trial (NCT01711788) from 2012 to 2016 in a single center. Fifteen patients aged from 1.9 to 16.4 years received an IB UCBT. Median time to neutrophils and platelet recoveries were 18 days (range: 13-36 days) and 42 days (range: 26-107 days), respectively. Rate of severe acute GVH grade was low, with only one patient with grade III aGVH. Relapse occurred in 5 patients (38.5%) and TRM occurred in 1 patient. This leads to 6 years EFS and OS of 66.7% and 80% respectively. In conclusion, IB UCBT is safe and well-tolerated in children and hematological recovery compared similarly to the results obtained with IV UCBT.

    Abstract The management of rheumatoid arthritis has greatly improved in the past decade, owing to new treatment strategies and the introduction of agents that inhibit tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Unfortunately, a substantial proportion of patients will discontinue therapy with their first TNF inhibitor for various reasons (for example, non-response, loss of efficacy, or toxicity). Until recently, treatment options for these patients were limited and most rheumatologists chose to switch to treatment with an alternative TNF inhibitor. However, biologic agents with different modes of action have now become available. Hence, the dilemma now facing rheumatologists presented with patients who fail to respond to anti-TNF therapy is whether to switch to an alternative TNF inhibitor or to change to a biologic agent of a different drug class. This article discusses the evidence relating to these two options.
