Implication of New High Resolution Ultrasonographic Modalities for Diagnosis of Fetal Nervous System Anomalies

The fetal CNS screening examination during the mid-trimester scan in low-risk pregnancies should include evaluation of the fetal head and spine, using transabdominal sonography. Evaluation of two axial planes allows visualization of the relevant cerebral structures to assess the anatomic integrity of the fetal brain.These planes are commonly referred to …

Childhood Outcomes of Preterm Brain Abnormalities

Prematurely born children are at higher risk of cognitive impairments and behavioral disorders than full-term children. There is growing evidence of significant volumetric and shape abnormalities in subcortical structures of premature neonates, which may be associated to negative long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. The general objective is to look directly at the …

Management of an Imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Alert in a French University Hospital

Colonization with imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (IBA) is an unfavorable event for the patient, especially in intensive care. Indeed, it exposes the patient to the risk of developing serious infections, extremely difficult to treat. ABRI is a particularly resistant bacterium in the environment. When an ABRI epidemic occurs in a department …

Early Childhood Obesity Programming by Intrauterine Growth Restriction

The molecular mechanisms underlying developmental programming of childhood obesity remain poorly understood. Here, the investigators address major questions about early childhood obesity programming by studying CD3+ T-cells from intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) newborns who have an increased risk for obesity and other metabolic disorders in adult life.

The Role of Endothelin 1 as a Marker of Renal Impairment in Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle cell disease (SCD) refers to a group of hemoglobinopathies that include mutations in the gene encoding the beta subunit of hemoglobin. Within the umbrella of SCD, many subgroups exist, namely sickle cell anemia (SCA), hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC), and hemoglobin sickle-beta-thalassemia (beta-thalassemia positive or beta-thalassemia negative). Several other minor …

The circTeloDIAG: Liquid Biopsy for Glioma Tumor

Gliomas represent the most frequent primary brain tumor, with 2,500 to 3,000 new cases per year in France. Their diagnosis, although highly complex, is essential for determining patient management. While grade I gliomas (infrequent) are curable by surgery or present a slow progression, grades II to IV require heavy treatment …
