RESUMEN

Psychiatric inpatients often endure anxiety. This randomized trial assessed the impact of horticultural therapy on anxiety in adult psychiatric inpatients over four weeks, compared to standard care. Recruiting 211 inpatients from six units were randomized into control (n = 105) and experimental (n = 106) groups. Control received usual care; the experimental group had horticultural therapy alongside usual care. Anxiety, measured using HADS-A scale at four weeks, aimed to establish horticultural therapy's superiority. After four weeks, horticultural therapy significantly reduced anxiety compared to standard care (P < 0.001). These results argue in favor of integrating horticultural therapy into psychiatric nursing practices.Trial registration: No Clinical Trail: NCT02666339 (1st registration: 28/01/2016).

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) are a rare but serious complication after trauma. Among patients with BCVI, neurological status is altered in 30% of cases and the prognosis seems to be associated with ischemic complications. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of BCVI-associated ischemic events. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study (2011-2017) included all patients admitted for severe trauma with identified BCVI in two level-1 trauma centers. Patients were considered to have a poor neurological outcome with a GOS-E between 2 and 5 and a good neurological outcome with GOS-E between 6 and 8. A multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for poor neurological outcome at 1 year. RESULTS: Of the 6,294 patients admitted in both trauma centers between 2011 and 2017, 81 patients presenting BCVI were identified (incidence of 1.3%). The median age was 35 years (24-44) with a median Injury Severity Score of 28 (17-41). 29 patients (50%) had a good neurological prognosis, while 25 patients (43%) had a poor neurological prognosis at 1 year. Ischemic stroke occurred in 11 patients (13.6%) within a median time of 2 days (2-2.5). No ischemic stroke occurred in the first year after ICU discharge in both groups. In our study, good prognosis at 1 year was not associated with ischemic complications [3 (10) vs 3 (12) p = 1]. CONCLUSION: Ischemic complications after BCVI are rare, occur within the first week and do not seem to impact independently the 1-year neurological prognosis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Female sex/gender has been associated with better longitudinal outcomes in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). Few studies have investigated the relationships between female gender and recovery-related outcomes. Women's specific psychiatric rehabilitation needs remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the present study are to investigate sex differences in (1) objective and subjective aspects of recovery and (2) psychiatric rehabilitation needs in a multicenter non-selected psychiatric rehabilitation SSD sample. METHODS: 1,055 outpatients with SSD (DSM-5) were recruited from the French National Centers of Reference for Psychiatric Rehabilitation (REHABase) cohort between January 2016 and November 2019. Evaluation included standardized scales for quality of life, satisfaction with life, and well-being and a broad cognitive battery. Socially valued roles at enrollment were recorded. Functional recovery was measured using the Global Assessment of Functioning scale (GAF) and personal recovery with the Stages of Recovery Instrument (STORI). RESULTS: Female sex was the best predictor of having more than 2 socially valued roles in the multivariate analysis (P < .001; OR [95% CI] = 5.42 [2.34-13.06]). No sex differences were found for functional recovery or personal recovery. Female gender was positively associated with self-stigma (P = .036) and suicidal history (P < .001) and negatively correlated with quality of life (P = .004) and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships (P = .029), an area in which women reported more unmet needs (P = .004). CONCLUSIONS: The present study found that women had poorer subjective recovery-related outcomes and more unmet needs than men. It would therefore be beneficial to develop recovery-oriented interventions addressing women's specific needs and implement these in psychiatric rehabilitation services.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To compare the performance of standard and simulated short gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI protocols for the detection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). METHODS: From 2008 to 2017, 67 patients (44 men (66%); mean age 65 ± 11 years old) who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI during the initial work-up for colorectal cancer were included. Exams were independently reviewed by two readers blinded to clinical data in two reading sessions: (1) all acquired sequences (standard "long" protocol) and (2) only T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and hepatobiliary phase images (simulated "short" protocol). Readers characterized detected lesions using a 5-point scale (1-certainly benign to 5-certainly malignant). A lesion was considered a CRLM when the score was ≥ 3. The reference standard was histopathology or 12-month imaging follow-up. Chi-square, Student's t, and McNemar tests were used for comparisons. RESULTS: A total of 486 lesions including 331 metastases (68%) were analyzed. The metastasis detection rate was 86.1% (95% CI 82-89.4)-86.7% (82.6-90) and 85.8% (81.6-89.2)-87% (82.9-90.2) with the short and long protocols, respectively (p > 0.99). Among detected lesions, 92.1% (89.1-94.4)-94.8% (92.2-96.6) and 84.6% (80.8-87.7)-88.8% (85.4-91.5) were correctly classified with the short and long protocols, respectively (p = 0.13 and p = 0.10). The results remained unchanged when lesions scored ≥ 4 were considered as CRLM. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic performance of a simulated short gadoxetic enhanced-MR protocol including T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and hepatobiliary phase appears similar to that of a standard long protocol including dynamic phase images. Since this protocol shortens the duration of MR examination, it could facilitate the evaluation of patients with colorectal liver metastases. KEY POINTS: • The detection rate of colorectal metastases with a simulated, short, MRI protocol was similar to that of a standard protocol. • The performance of both protocols for the differentiation of metastases and benign lesions appears to be similar. • A short MR imaging protocol could facilitate the evaluation of patients with colorectal liver metastases.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Functional capacity (FC) has been identified as a key outcome to improve real-world functioning in schizophrenia. FC is influenced by cognitive impairments, negative symptoms, self-stigma and reduced physical activity (PA). Psychosocial interventions targeting FC are still under-developed. METHODS: we conducted a quasi-experimental study evaluating the effects of an exercise-enriched integrated social cognitive remediation (SCR) intervention (RemedRugby [RR]) compared with an active control group practicing Touch Rugby (TR). To our knowledge, this is the first trial to date evaluating the effectiveness of such a program provided in a real-life environment. RESULTS: Eighty-seven people with schizophrenia were included and allocated to either the RR group (n = 57) or the TR group (n = 30) according to the routine clinical practice of the recruiting center. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline and post-treatment in both groups and after 6 months of follow-up in the RR group using standardized scales for symptom severity, social functioning, self-stigma, and a large cognitive battery. After treatment we observed moderate to large improvements in social function (Personal and Social Performance Scale [PSP], p < 0.001, d = 1.255), symptom severity (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale [PANSS] negative, p < 0.001, d = 0.827; PANSS GP, p < 0.001, d = 0.991; PANSS positive, p = 0.009, d = 0.594), verbal abstraction (p = 0.008, d = 0.554), aggression bias (p = 0.008, d = 0.627), and self-stigma (stereotype endorsement, p = 0.019, d = 0.495; discrimination experiences, p = 0.047; d = 0.389) that were specific to the RR group and were not observed in participants playing only TR. Effects were persistent over time and even larger between post-treatment and follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Exercise-enriched integrated SCR appears promising to improve real-life functioning in schizophrenia. Future research should investigate the potential effects of this intervention on neuroplasticity and physical fitness.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate gender differences in the authorship of articles published in two major European radiology journals, European Radiology (EurRad) and CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR). METHODS: A retrospective bibliometric analysis was performed of 2632 papers published in EurRad and CVIR sampled over a period of 14 years (2002-2016). The authors' gender was determined. The analysis was focused on first and last authors. In addition, the characteristics of the articles (type, origin, radiological subspecialty, and country) were noted. RESULTS: Overall, 23% of first authors and 10% of the last authors were women. The proportion of women significantly increased over time in EurRad from 22% in 2002 to 35% in 2016 for first authors (p > 0.001), and from 13% in 2002 to 18% in 2016 for last authors (p = 0.05). There was no significant increase in the proportion of female authors in CVIR over time. Female authors were more frequently identified in breast imaging (48%), pediatrics, and gynecological imaging (29%). There were more female authors in articles from Spain (34%), the Netherlands (28%), France, Italy, and South Korea (26%). Forty-one percent and 21% of women were first authors with a woman or man as last author, respectively (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: There was a significant increase in female authorship in original diagnostic but not interventional imaging research articles between 2002 and 2016, with a strong influence of the radiological subspecialty. Women were significantly more frequently first authors when the last author was a woman. KEY POINTS: • There was a significant increase in female authorship in original diagnostic but not interventional imaging research articles between 2002 and 2016. • There is a strong influence of the radiological subspecialty on the percentage of female authors. • Women are significantly more frequently first authors when the last author is a woman.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To explore whether clozapine users have specific rehabilitation needs compared to users of other antipsychotics. METHODS: The study was performed using the REHABase collecting data on persons referred to a French network of psychosocial rehabilitation centers. It was restricted to persons with schizophrenia spectrum disorder using antipsychotics. Multivariate analyses were used to compare baseline functioning and cognitive characteristics in clozapine users vs. users of other antipsychotics. RESULTS: Of the 675 patients identified in the REHABase, one out of ten (n = 70) used clozapine. Compared to users of other antipsychotics, clozapine users had been more frequently hospitalized in psychiatry and presented less frequently with psychoactive substance use. Functional measures did not significantly differ between the two groups. Clozapine users had poorer short-term verbal memory performance than users of other antipsychotics and did not differ on executive performance. CONCLUSION: Clozapine users may reach a recovery level comparable to that obtained in persons without treatment-resistant schizophrenia. In order to reduce the negative impact of memory deficits on the recovery process of clozapine users, it is necessary to optimize their psychotropic treatment and to promote their access to cognitive remediation programs addressing their specific needs.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The REHABase project is a French observational, prospective, and multicenter cohort study of serious mental illness and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), launched in 2016 for a planned minimum duration of 15 years. The aim is to characterize the care and quality-of-life needs of participants. This article presents initial results from data collection. METHODS: Psychosocial, cognitive, and functional data were collected at baseline, annually, and after rehabilitation care. Data from the baseline evaluation on diagnoses, medications, well-being, insight, life satisfaction, and care needs are presented. The clinical profiles of REHABase participants with serious mental illness or ASD were assessed in relation to their level of satisfaction with life and well-being in nine life dimensions and their needs, according to their stage of recovery in a five-stage model. RESULTS: Baseline data were collected for 1,397 participants between January 2016 and August 2018. Main diagnoses were schizophrenia spectrum disorder (49%); ASD (13%); and personality (12%), bipolar (9%), and major depressive (6%) disorders. More than 50% of participants reported needs for care or interventions in four of nine dimensions: employment, cognitive functioning, symptom management, and interpersonal relationships. Nearly half of participants were not in the active stages of recovery (stages 4 and 5), and even those considered to have reached the final stage continued to require help in several areas. CONCLUSIONS: Most participants had already received psychiatric care for several years, and most remained dissatisfied with their social and emotional life and their psychological well-being.

RESUMEN

Eastern and Western guidelines for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are known to significantly differ on many points, because they reflect different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this cancer. Importantly, these guidelines are primarily consensus-driven when it comes to surveillance, both in term of the tests used and surveillance program design. The main difference between East and West lies in clinical practice, as several Eastern countries implement coordinated and systematic surveillance programs, while most Western countries rely on individual adherence to surveillance recommendations. This review article presents an overview of the evidence supporting surveillance programs for HCC, with a particular focus on the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and consequences of this approach for patient survival. Western and Eastern guideline recommendations are discussed.

RESUMEN

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary liver cancer and the second cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In most cases, it is diagnosed in patients with identified risk factors, mainly cirrhosis from all causes. These patients are candidates for a surveillance program that, depending on guidelines, involves regular liver ultrasound alone or combined with serum markers. These programs have been shown to improve the oncological outcome by detecting earlier stage tumors and providing patients with potentially curative treatment and improved survival. Yet, the level of evidence supporting these guidelines remains limited. This review article presents an overview of the evidence supporting surveillance programs for hepatocellular carcinoma, in particular the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and consequences of this approach for patient survival. Western and Eastern guideline recommendations are described and discussed.

RESUMEN

AIM: To describe the effect of hepatobiliary-specific MR imaging contrast agent (HBCA) administration on the signal intensity of peritoneal and pleural fluid effusions on T1-weighted MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From October 2015 to May 2016 139 patients (mean 60±10 years old, 69 % males) with peritoneal or pleural effusions without biliary leakage who underwent HBCA-MRI (Gd-BOPTA or Gd-EOB-DTPA) at 1.5T and 3T were included from two centres. The fluid signal intensity was classified as hypo/iso/hyperintense before/after HBCA administration. The relative signal enhancement (RE) was calculated. RESULTS: On hepatobiliary phase (HBP), peritoneal fluids appeared hyper/isointense in 88-100 % and pleural effusions in 100 % of the patients following Gd-BOPTA administration. All fluids remained hypointense following Gd-EOB-DTPA. The signal intensity of fluids increased with both HBCA but RE was significantly higher following Gd-BOPTA (p=0.002 to <0.001). RE was correlated with HBP acquisition time-point (r=0.42, p<0.001 and r=0.50, p=0.033 for peritoneal and pleural fluids). CONCLUSION: The signal intensity of pleural and peritoneal fluids progressively increases following HBCA administration in the absence of biliary leakage. Due to its later hepatobiliary phase, this is more pronounced after Gd-BOPTA injection, leading to fluid hyperintensity that is not observed after Gd-EOB-DTPA injection. KEY POINTS: • Fluids appear hyper/isointense on HBP in most patients after Gd-BOPTA injection. • Fluids remain hypointense on HBP after Gd-EOB-DTPA injection. • RE of fluids increases with time after liver-specific Gd injection. • RE of fluids is higher in patients with chronic liver disease.

RESUMEN

Even though most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) develop in the setting of cirrhosis, numerous other focal liver lesions and pseudolesions may be encountered. The role of the radiologist is therefore to differentiate these lesions from HCC to avoid under- and overdiagnosis. There are several ways of classifying these lesions: those which predate the development of fibrosis and cirrhosis (cystic lesions, hemangioma), those related to or a consequence of cirrhosis (regenerative nodules, dysplastic nodules, focal fibrosis, peribiliary cysts, shunts, or even cholangiocarcinoma), and those related to the underlying cause of chronic liver disease (lymphoma). Finally, some may develop independently (liver metastases). From an imaging point of view, it is important to remember that the imaging features of pre-existing lesions are not dramatically changed by cirrhosis. Differentiating non-HCC from HCC requires not only an understanding of the multi-step process of hepatocarcinogenesis, but also the importance of medical history, and of complimentary imaging modalities, namely computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This review article gives an overview of the imaging features of benign and malignant non-HCC focal liver lesions in the setting of cirrhosis, with a focus on CT and MR imaging.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Angiogenic defects secondary to gene mutations of JAG1 and NOTCH2, causing arterial anomalies in Alagille syndrome (AGS), are well described in the literature. The study analyzes the frequency of abdominal arterial anomalies in children with AGS with an emphasis on outcomes following liver transplantation (LT). METHODS: Between 1988 and 2013, 242 children with AGS were treated at our institution. We performed a retrospective analysis of 55 who underwent LT during the study period. Preoperative abdominal arterial findings, operative reports, arterial reconstruction technique, and early as well as late complications following LT were reviewed specifically focusing on arterial thrombosis. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients had preoperative imaging available for analysis. Twelve of these patients showed celiac trunk stenosis (48.0%), 2, a superior mesenteric artery stenosis (8.0%) and one a stenosis of both renal arteries. Twenty patients (36.3%) underwent standard hepatic reconstruction using the native recipient hepatic artery. Thirty-five patients (63.7%) underwent aortic conduit reconstruction (ACR) from the infrarenal aorta using donor arterial conduits. Hepatic artery thrombosis occurred in 9 patients (16.3%). This number was higher in the standard arterial anastomosis group 7/20 (35.0%) than in those with ACR 2/35 (5.7%, P = 0.0079). CONCLUSIONS: In this series, children with AGS pretransplant have a high prevalence of abdominal arterial anomalies. Preoperative abdominal vascular imaging makes it possible to anticipate whether or not a classical arterial revascularization can be performed or whether an ACR is required.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To compare tumor progression in both embolized and non-embolized liver lobes after portal vein embolization (PVE) in patients with bilobar colorectal liver metastases (CLM), according to the initial response to induction chemotherapy. METHODS: From 2002 to 2012, a total of 42 consecutive patients with bilobar CLM initially treated using induction chemotherapy underwent right PVE to achieve adequate future liver remnant volume. Tumoral and liver parenchyma volumes, as well as their volume variations, were measured on computed tomography before and after PVE in both embolized and non-embolized. Patients were classified as fast (≤6 cycles of induction chemotherapy) and slow (>6 cycles) responders. RESULTS: Overall, 432 metastases were analyzed in 42 patients. Patients were slow responders in 29 (69 %) cases. Tumoral volume increased in 29 (69 %) cases in the embolized liver (+48 %; p < 0.0001), and in 28 (66 %) cases in the non-embolized liver (+31 %; p < 0.0001). Fast responders had a tumoral volume decrease in both embolized (-4 %) and non-embolized (-9 %) lobes. On the opposite side, slow responders had tumoral volume increase in both embolized (+79 %) and non-embolized (+32 %) lobes. On multivariate analysis, a 'slow' response to induction chemotherapy was the only factor associated with tumoral progression in both embolized (p = 0.0012) and non-embolized (p = 0.001) lobes. CONCLUSION: Tumor growth after PVE is observed in both embolized and non-embolized liver lobes in most patients but is significantly associated with slow response to induction chemotherapy.
