    Abstract Background: In case of high sacral slope, anterior lumbosacral fusions can be performed by retroperitoneal or transperitoneal approach using a reversed Bohlman technique with an autologous corticocancellous fibular graft. The use of a trans-lumbosacral implant can avoid the iatrogenic effects but currently, there is no implant specifically designed for this fusion technique. Could the IFUSE implant from SI BONE replace a fibular graft to avoiding the iatrogenic effect induced by sampling during a Reverse Bohlman technique?
    Patients and methods: We present the case of a 38-year-old woman with L5S1 interbody pseudarthrosis after posterior fixation for grade 2 L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with isthmic lysis of L5, and that of a 69-year-old woman who underwent a posterior T4 fusion to the pelvis for degenerative scoliosis. Both required a trans-lumbosacral instrumented fusion via an anterior approach using the reverse Bohlman technique. Surgical technique was described.
    Results: There were no perioperative or postoperative complications. At 6 months, the patients reported a decrease in lumbar and radicular symptomatology. There were no infectious, neurological or vascular complications. CT-scans confirmed the good position and stability of the IFUSE implant.
    Discussion: We present an innovative interbody grafting technique adapted to spines with high pelvic incidence. The surgical technique is safe, minimally invasive, and reduces surgical iatrogeny. The short and medium-term results are positive but require longer-term follow-up and a larger cohort.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate which type, frequency, duration, intensity, and volume of chronic exercise might more strongly reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhance anti-inflammatory cytokines in human and animal models with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or dementia.
    Design: A systematic review.
    Data source: English-language search of 13 electronic databases: Web of Science, PubMed/Medline, Sport Discus, Scopus, Cochrane, Psych Net, Springer, ScienceDirect, Pascal & Francis, Sage journals, Pedro, Google Scholar, and Sage.
    Inclusion criteria: (i) human and animal studies that included exercise, physical activity, or fitness training as an experimental intervention, (ii) studies that addressed MCI, dementia, or AD, (iii) studies that focused on measuring cytokines and/or other inflammatory and/or neuroinflammatory immune markers, (iii) studies that examined inflammatory indicators in blood, CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid), and brain tissue.
    Results: Of the 1290 human and animal studies found, 38 were included for qualitative analysis, 11 human articles, 25 animal articles, and two articles addressing both human and animal protocols. In the animal model, physical exercise decreased pro-inflammatory markers in 70.8 % of the articles and anti-inflammatory cytokines: IL -4, IL -10, IL-4β, IL -10β, and TGF-β in 26 % of articles. Treadmill running, resistance exercise, and swimming exercise reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase anti-inflammatory cytokines. In the human model, 53.9 % of items reduced pro-inflammatory proteins and 23 % increased anti-inflammatory proteins. Cycling exercise, multimodal, and resistance training effectively decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines.
    Conclusion: In rodent animal models with AD phenotype, treadmill, swimming, and resistance training remain good interventions that can delay various mechanisms of dementia progression. In the human model, aerobic, multimodal, and resistance training are beneficial in both MCI and AD. Multimodal training of moderate to high intensity multimodal exercise is effective for MCI. Voluntary cycling training, moderate- or high-intensity aerobic exercise is effective in mild AD patients.

    Abstract Background: The objective of the study is to define the most appropriate region for intensity normalization in brain
    Results: The cerebellum and pons were the two sole regions showing median coefficients of correlation with age less than - 0.5. With SPM, the intensity normalization by the pons provided at least 1.7- and 2.5-fold more significant cluster volumes than other normalizations for conventional and digital PET, respectively.
    Conclusions: The pons is the most appropriate area for brain

    Abstract Objectives: In the management of diabetic patients on insulin therapy, adherence to medication is a key element for avoiding chronic complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate diabetic patients' ability to translate glycemic results into an appropriate insulin dose and thus, adherence to insulins.
    Methods: This was an observational, retrospective, monocentric pilot study. Diabetic patients on insulin therapy being followed at the metabolic and endocrine diseases department were divided into two groups depending on their mode of glycemic control at home: capillary glycemia (Notebook group) or interstitial glycemia using the FreeStyle Libre® flash system (FSL group). Adherence was assessed based on the rate of compliance in adapting insulin doses to the prescribed protocols (depending on type of insulin, glycemic targets, and patients' characteristics) by a pharmacy resident and a senior diabetologist. Good adherence was defined as a minimum rate of 80% of conforming insulin injections for each patient.
    Results: A total of 50 patients were included, 35 in the Notebook group and 15 in the FSL group. Two-thirds of patients were non-adherent to insulin. Dose adjustment errors mainly concerned rapid-acting insulin with 51.1% of non- conformities, 10.0% of which were due to underdosing in the Notebook group and 21.7% to overdosing in the FSL group. Hyperglycemia was predominant in both populations with a median time in range of 19.0% in the FSL group and well below recommendations (>70%).
    Conclusions: Despite the use of increasingly efficient, easy-to-use devices in diabetes monitoring, insulin non-adherence and glycemic imbalance are unresolved major issues. Diabetic patients require reinforced medical follow-up for optimal insulin management.

    Abstract Model-based tumor growth inhibition (TGI) metrics are increasingly used to predict overall survival (OS) data in Phase III immunotherapy clinical trials. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the differences between two-stage or joint modeling methods to leverage Phase I/II trial data and help early decision-making. A recent study showed that TGI metrics such as the tumor growth rate constant K

    Abstract Two-stage and joint modeling approaches are the two main approaches to investigate the link between longitudinal tumor size data and overall survival (OS) and anticipate clinical trial outcome. We here used a large database composed of one phase II and five phase III clinical trials evaluating atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) in monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapies in 3699 patients with non-small cell lung cancer to evaluate the differences between both approaches in terms of parameter estimates, magnitude of covariate effects, and ability to predict OS. Although the two-stage approach may underestimate the magnitude of the impact of tumor growth rate (K

    Abstract Aim: To consider the arguments for screening outside the standard screening period of 24 to 28 weeks of gestation.
    Materials and methods: A search of the literature between 1990 and 2010 was performed using the PubMed® and Cochrane® databases. Recommendations from learned societies in diabetology and obstetrics & gynaecology were consulted.
    Results: Gestational diabetes mellitus screening is classically recommended between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy, the period during which glucose tolerance deteriorates. However, the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in women of childbearing age with risk factors requires earlier screening. Fasting blood glucose should be measured at the fi rst visit during early pregnancy for these patients. The diagnostic threshold is the same as for patients who are not pregnant, i.e. blood glucose > 1.26 g/l. However, the benefit of screening for gestational diabetes during early pregnancy for women with risk factors has not been supported by prospective studies. Therefore oral glucose tolerance testing during early pregnancy is not currently recommended for the detection of gestational diabetes. Screening for gestational diabetes, regardless of the recommended screening policy, must be performed between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy. There are no reasons to consider subsequent screening for gestational diabetes at a later stage.

    Materials and methods: A literature search between 1990 and 2010 was performed using the Pubmed and Cochrane database. Foreign societies guidelines were also consulted.
    Results: Screening for gestational diabetes is recommended between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, when glucose tolerance deteriorates. However, for patients with certain risk factors, the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in women of childbearing age requires earlier screening. Fasting blood glucose should be measured at the first visit during pregnancy for these patients. The diagnostics threshold is the same as for patients who are not pregnant, i.e. blood glucose > 1.26 g/L. On the other hand, the interest of screening for gestational diabetes at the beginning of pregnancy in the case of certain risk factors is not supported by prospective studies. It is therefore not recommended to perform an OGTT in early pregnancy in order to diagnose gestational diabetes. The search for a gestational diabetes, regardless of screening policy recommended, has to be performed between 24 and 28 weeks gestational age. There are no reasons to consider a new search for gestational diabetes at later stages.

    Abstract Objective: New genome sequencing techniques allow new approaches in medical genetics, in particular by facilitating the diagnosis of genetic diseases. However, their use also leads to unsolicited genetic findings being uncovered. This type of discovery raises ethical, legal and psychological considerations. The objective of this psychological research was to study the different positions of patients, health professionals and general public regarding the acceptability of the announcement of unsolicited findings revealed during a high-throughput sequencing genetic test.
    Method: the first exploratory study aimed, through non-directive research interviews conducted with 13 patients of a medical genetics service, to understand the psychological repercussions linked to the announcement of a result of a targeted genetic test and to know the patients’ desires regarding the announcement of unsolicited findings if the test had been a high-throughput genetic test. The second study, using a quantitative methodology, aimed to identify the judgment policies of 144 patients, 94 healthcare professionals and 211 people from the general public concerning the acceptability of this type of disclosure.
    Results: The cluster analyses highlighted six judgment policies as to whether or not to disclose the discovery of unsolicited anomalies: “Tell everything”, “Tell even in part”, “Tell everything unless desperate”, “Undecided”, “Do not tell” and “Do not tell if no prevention”. The participants positioned themselves differently, in particular according to the patient’s consent.
    Conclusion: This research shows the variability of positioning and the importance of consent in the acceptability of the disclosure of unsolicited findings. However, one of the limitations of the study lies in the fact that in medical clinic, acceptability and acceptance may vary over time. A longitudinal study would undoubtedly afford a better understanding of the psychological progress of patients in this type of care pathway..
