SWS is a severe neurocutaneous syndrome, which involves a facial port-wine stain reaching the first branch of trigeminal nerve (V1), ophthalmologic abnormalities (especially congenital glaucoma) and neurologic signs (seizure, mental retardation, hemiparesis). Neuroimaging (CT-scan/angio-magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) provides the diagnosis of SWS, when it shows ipsilateral leptomeningeal angioma; the best age to perform the exam is not established. Extension to superior eyelid, to other territories of trigeminal nerve (V2, V3) or to the contralateral hemiface is statistically associated to SWS.

Infantile hemangioma develops during the first weeks of life, usually builds up over 3 to 6 months, and then regresses very slowly over a period of 3 to 7 years. Three quarters of these hemangiomas are lobular and are not associated with malformations. On the other hand, the hemangiomas referred to as segmental may be associated with developmental abnormalities (PHACES and PELVIS/SACRAL syndromes). Because of their spontaneous involution, most infantile hemangiomas do not require therapeutic intervention. In 10 to 15 % of cases, treatment is necessary because of complications when life or physiological functioning is th...

Four progressive stages have been described: dormancy, expansion, destruction and heart failure. Progression from one stage to another is not systematic but depends on events - physiological or traumatic, sometimes iatrogenic. Pulsed Doppler imaging of venous waveforms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most informative examinations for both diagnosis and follow-up of arteriovenous malformations.Arteriography and angio-MRI help guide treatment decisions. Treatment of the malformation must not be envisioned until it reaches a symptomatic stage. It most often combines an endovascular procedures and wide surgical excision. A syndromic form mus...

The first attempts to obtain better-adapted therapeutic strategies evaluated the indications of conventional drugs, and their abilities to prolong survival and prevent relapses, while decreasing the severity and number of side effects. Most of the prospective clinical trials were organized by the French Vasculitis Study Group and the European Vasculitis Study Group, and have contributed to optimizing targeted treatment strategies. Recent therapeutic strategies include immunomodulating methods, like plasma exchanges, or products, like intravenous immunoglobulins, or, more recently, new agents called biotherapies.

Because the suffix "oma" implies a tumor, it is necessary to differentiate true vascular tumors, such as infantile hemangioma, from vascular malformations. From a hemodynamic perspective, there are two types of vascular malformations: slow- and fast-flow. In addition to the functioning of the impaired or severely damaged vessels, we discuss slow-flow capillary, venous, or lymphatic malformations and rapid flow arterial and arteriovenous malformations. All combinations are possible. There are several types of childhood vascular tumors with different courses and different prognoses. Infantile hemangioma is by far the most frequent (8 ...

The characteristic triad is an association of a cutaneous capillary angioma of a limb, venous malformations, and hypertrophy of soft tissue and/or bone. Diagnosis is essentially clinical. Work-up of the lesion may involve noninvasive imaging: Doppler ultrasound, standard radiography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The presence of arteriovenous malformations is sought by clinical examination or ultrasound: they rule out a diagnosis of KTS. Management is multidisciplinary and involves especially venous control and orthopedic management of unequal limb lengths.

Their presence is correlated with age and hypertension. They are frequently associated with lacunae and with hyperintense (bright) signals in white matter. Microbleeds are associated with local deposits of blood decay products and are a marker of cerebral microangiopathy, most often lipohyalinosis. They are frequently observed in ischemic neurovascular disease, especially lacunar and hemorrhagic. They may thus have prognostic value.

A large body of evidence suggests that MS is mediated by an immunological process in genetic susceptible individuals. This process probably varies greatly not only between individuals, but also for one patient over time. In this review, we will describe current knowledge about the pathogenesis of MS, providing special attention to the questions patients frequently ask. We also describe the immunological foundations of this disease so that we can better understand the mechanisms by which the different approved treatments act. A better understanding of the disease has led to substantial improvement in treatments that act on the immune system. By blocking immune attacks early, we can hop...

It is a rare disorder. Since the first description by Eugène Devic in 1894, the relationship between DNMO and multiple sclerosis (MS) has been controversial. Recent clinical, epidemiological, pathological and immunological data suggest that MS and DNMO are distinct entities. This distinction between DNMO and MS is however crucial, as prognosis and treatment are indeed different. The clinical course of NMO deteriorates rapidly without appropriate treatment.

Because the scientific aspects of bioequivalence that govern the use of generics are sometimes described ambiguously in the literature, they are not always perceived clearly by health professionals. This lack of clarity may be an obstacle to their use. Two drugs are considered bioequivalent if the upper and lower limits of the 90% confidence interval (90% CI) of the generic-to-brand ratio for the area under the curve (AUC) and for the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) are included in the [-20%, +25%] interval. This interval applies to the 90% CI of the ratios of the AUC (or Cmax) and not directly to the ratio of their values. Hence, it is wrong to consider that t...

At the time of diagnosis, only 20% of patients have an operable tumor; 30% have local or regional extensions and 50% metastatic dissemination. Median survival of patients after surgical resection ranges from 12 to 20 months, because of the high relapse rate. Currently, the use of radiotherapy is controversial for patients with operable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. The standard treatment is six months of chemotherapy with FUFOL or gemcitabine. Combining it with radiation therapy as an adjuvant (CRT) may improve the survival of patients with incompletely resected tumors. This must still be demonstrated in a prospective trial. Neoadjuvant CRT is a promising treatment but still...

The sensitivity of diffusion sequences is high. Whole body MRI is used increasingly often in oncology, for initial or follow-up staging, finding primary tumors after identifying metastases, staging for pregnant woman and children, and therapeutic follow-up. Advantages of whole-body MRI over PET-CT include the absence of irradiation as well as the greater availability, and lower cost of MRI.

Most of the time, the hemorrhage is mild and stops spontaneously. Clinical suspicion requires confirmation by an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which must be performed rapidly after the first hematemesis. Mallory-Weiss syndrome is diagnosed when it shows a longitudinal mucosal tear at the esophagogastric junction. Patients with active bleeding or signs of recent bleeding at endoscopy need immediate endoscopic treatment for hemostasis. Band ligation seems to be the most efficient procedure for primary hemostasis and for preventing recurrent bleeding. The use of proton pump inhibitors and antiemetics seems logical in al...

Preselection of patients in unstable clinical situations (refractory hypertension, progressive kidney failure, flash pulmonary edema) by isotopic and endocrinal renal evaluation provides a basis for deciding on treatment. The existence of a renin ratio >1.5 can identify the patients most likely to respond to nephrectomy. The reduction of renal function following nephrectomy must be considered in the discussion about treatment. The functional threshold initially defined at 10% may be lowered to 5%, to limit this postoperative reduction.

Surgery is a risk factor for acute renal failure, the incidence of which ranges from 0.8% to 40%, depending on the kind of surgery. Mortality due to perioperative acute renal failure ranges from 17% to 60%, depending on the kind of surgery. For almost 10 to 20% of survivors, acute renal failure becomes chronic. Of the various definitions of acute renal failure, the RIFLE classification(risk of renal dysfunction, injury to the kidney, failure of kidney function, loss of kidney function, end-stage kidney disease)is a consensus definition for predicting hospital mortality. Preoperative renal function was based on serum creatinine and crea...

The simple provision of information about asthma does not improve health outcomes. Teenagers with asthma are the most fragile patients, because of the lack of specific management for them. Repeated sessions are recommended and educational programs, started in childhood, might make it possible to prevent or at least decrease the risks of non-adherence during adolescence. The absence of consensus on educational interventions impedes the legibility of their impact. PMID: 19833475 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Presse Me...

Among the factors promoting it are the existence of preoperative pain, the intensity and duration of postoperative pain, and the type of surgery. It frequently has a neuropathic aspect. Because intraoperative nerve injuries are commonly associated with severe postoperative pain, and as neuropathic and inflammatory pain share neuroplasticity mechanisms, it is usually difficult to know which is responsible for the development of these mechanisms after surgery. Few studies have thus far evaluated methods for preventing chronic postsurgical pain, and their results are conflicting.

It raises the following questions: Should varenicline be prescribed as a second-line therapy? Is there a patient type for which varenicline would be more - or less - appropriate? Can the tolerability profile be improved by reducing dosage while maintaining the level of efficacy or by co-administering symptomatic treatment more systematically? These are questions that new studies evaluating varenicline tolerability should answer.

It nonetheless occurs most frequently after heart surgery, performed with or without extracorporeal circulation. The perioperative inflammatory process appears to be the predominant pathophysiologic mechanism. The incidence of cognitive dysfunction after heart surgery varies according to the type of surgery and the time of diagnosis. It may affect 50 to 80% of patients at hospital discharge. Age is the risk factor most often found in the literature. Preventive measures, based on knowledge of risk factors, might reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunctions modulated by a genetic predisposition.

In women, age (>/= 65 years) is no longer considered itself a risk factor for complications. In men, cystitis must be treated as prostatitis. The bacterial levels defining UTIs have been revised, but levels below the threshold cannot be used to rule out UTI in the presence of symptoms.

For donors, postoperative mortality and morbidity rates are significantly higher for right lobectomies than for removal of the left lateral section. Although living donor liver transplantation is more technically demanding, its results are similar to those with cadaveric liver transplants in expert centers. The primary contraindications to living donations are elevated body mass index and hemostatic or thrombotic disorders.
