Abstract
BACKGROUND Medium-dose glucocorticoids can improve symptoms in nearly all patients with polymyalgia rheumatica. According to its good safety profile, abatacept could be used instead of glucocorticoids in early polymyalgia rheumatica. We aimed to determine whether the efficacy of abatacept is sufficient to justify larger studies in early polymyalgia rheumatica. METHODS To evaluate whether abatacept allows low disease activity without glucocorticoids in early polymyalgia rheumatica, we conducted a proof-of-concept, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial. Participants were recruited from five centres in France (in Brest, Le Mans, Morlaix, Dinan and Saint Malo, and Strasbourg) and were included if they had recent-onset (<6 months) polymyalgia rheumatica with a C-reactive protein (CRP) polymyalgia rheumatica activity score (PMR-AS) of more than 17 without any signs or symptoms of giant cell arteritis (clinical and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT evaluation). Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive weekly subcutaneous abatacept (125 mg) or matching placebo, with glucocorticoid rescue therapy allowed in cases of high disease activity, for 12 weeks, and then glucocorticoid treatment based on disease activity, until week 36. Investigators, patients, outcome assessors, and sponsor personnel were masked to group assignments. The primary endpoint was low disease activity (CRP PMR-AS ≤10) at week 12 without glucocorticoids and without rescue treatment. The study was powered to demonstrate a 60% difference in response rates between groups. Open-ended adverse events were collected at each visit by clinicians and were categorised following system organ class classification after study completion. The ALORS trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03632187. FINDINGS 34 patients (22 women and 12 men) were randomly assigned between Dec 13, 2018, and Oct 21, 2021. All patients who had been randomly assigned were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was reached by eight (50%) of 16 patients in the abatacept group and four (22%) of 18 patients in the placebo group (relative risk 2·2 [0·9-5·5]); crude p=0·15; adjusted p=0·070). Eight (50%) patients in the abatacept and 15 (83%) in the placebo group had adverse events. Four patients (one [6%] in the abatacept group and three [17%] in the placebo group) had serious adverse events. There were no deaths or new safety concerns. INTERPRETATION This study suggests that the effect of abatacept alone is not strong enough to justify larger studies in early polymyalgia rheumatica. This is only a first step in deciding whether a larger study should be conducted in early polymyalgia rheumatica and does not exclude a potential effect of abatacept in glucocorticoid-dependent polymyalgia rheumatica.

Abstract
Published data on the size-specific effective orifice area (EOA) of transcatheter heart valves (THVs) remain scarce. Here, we sought to investigate the intra-individual changes in EOA and mean transvalvular aortic gradient (MG) of the Sapien 3 (S3), CoreValve (CV), and Evolut R (EVR) prostheses both at short-term and at 1-year follow-up. The study sample consisted of 260 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). EOAs and MGs were measured with Doppler echocardiography for the following prostheses: S3 23 mm (n = 74; 28.5%), S3 26 mm (n = 67; 25.8%), S3 29 mm (n = 20; 7.7%), CV 23 mm (n = 2; 0.8%), CV 26 mm (n = 15; 5.8%), CV 29 mm (n = 24; 9.2%), CV 31 mm (n = 9; 3.5%), EVR 26 mm (n = 22; 8.5%), and EVR 29 mm (n = 27; 10.4%). Values were obtained at discharge, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year from implantation. At discharge, EOAs were larger and MGs lower for larger-size prostheses, regardless of being balloon-expandable or self-expandable. In patients with small aortic annulus size, the hemodynamic performances of CV and EVR prostheses were superior to those of S3. However, we did not observe significant differences in terms of all-cause mortality according to THV type or size. Both balloon-expandable and self-expandable new-generation THVs show excellent hemodynamic performances without evidence of very early valve degeneration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The application of safety principles from the aviation industry to the operating room has offered hope in reducing surgical complications. This study aimed to assess the impact on major surgical complications of adding an aviation-based team training programme after checklist implementation.
Methods
A prospective parallel-group cluster trial was undertaken between September 2011 and March 2013. Operating room teams from 31 hospitals were assigned randomly to participate in a team training programme focused on major concepts of crew resource management and checklist utilization. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of any major adverse event, including death, during the hospital stay within the first 30 days after surgery. Using a difference-in-difference approach, the ratio of the odds ratios (ROR) was estimated to compare changes in surgical outcomes between intervention and control hospitals.
Results
Some 22 779 patients were enrolled, including 5934 before and 16 845 after team training implementation. The risk of major adverse events fell from 8·8 to 5·5 per cent in 16 intervention hospitals (adjusted odds ratio 0·57, 95 per cent c.i. 0·48 to 0·68; P < 0·001) and from 7·9 to 5·4 per cent in 15 control hospitals (odds ratio 0·64, 0·50 to 0·81; P < 0·001), resulting in the absence of difference between arms (ROR 0·90, 95 per cent c.i. 0·67 to 1·21; P = 0·474). Outcome trends revealed significant improvements among ten institutions, equally distributed across intervention and control hospitals.
Conclusion
Surgical outcomes improved substantially, with no difference between trial arms. Successful implementation of an aviation-based team training programme appears to require modification and adaptation of its principles in the context of the the surgical milieu.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to describe the distribution of referrals offered to patients assessed in the "Post-Acute Stroke program" of Bordeaux University Hospital (France). This program was developed in 2008 to organize the dispensation of care in rehabilitation units specialized in neurological diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a single-centre observational study. Between July 2008 and December 2012, data on the number of stroke patients hospitalized at the Bordeaux University Hospital and their post-acute referral were collected from the local hospital discharge database. Some of these patients were assessed by Physical Rehabilitation and Medicine physicians participating in the program. Proposed and actual referrals, time from admission to assessment and functional status were also collected. RESULTS Among 4189 stroke patients, 1465 (35%) survivors were assessed, of whom 932 (22.2%) were discharged to inpatient rehabilitation facilities. There were no patients discharged to this type of unit without an assessment. Among the 1465 patients who were assessed, 57.2% were referred to specialized rehabilitation units, 6.3% were discharged to non-specialized rehabilitation units and 26% returned home directly. The median total length of stay in acute units varied from 10 to 15days depending on referral orientation. CONCLUSION Patients that were assessed were more likely to be transferred to specialized rehabilitation units than to non-specialized rehabilitation units. The Post-Acute Stroke program has the particularity of combining private and public specialized rehabilitation units in a common collaborative referral system while retaining the control and flexibility of personalised referral for each patient in the light of local care availability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is increasing concern about heart and pulmonary vascular involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc). One of the most severe complications of SSc is pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). There has been an increased awareness of left ventricular (LV) diastolic abnormalities in SSc patients. However, previous studies have generally been conducted in small populations. The aims of this study were to prospectively screen for PAH and to describe echocardiographic parameters in a large group of SSc patients. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in 21 centres for SSc in France. Patients without severe pulmonary function abnormalities, severe cardiac disease and known PAH underwent Doppler echocardiography performed by a reference cardiologist. RESULTS Of the 570 patients evaluated, PAH was suspected in 33 patients and was confirmed in 18 by right heart catheterisation. LV systolic dysfunction was rare (1.4%). LV hypertrophy was found in 22.6%, with LV diastolic dysfunction in 17.7%. These LV abnormalities were influenced by age, gender and blood pressure. We identified a small group of 21 patients with a restrictive mitral flow pattern in the absence of any other cardiopulmonary diseases, suggesting a specific cardiac involvement in SSc. CONCLUSIONS Left and right heart diseases, including PAH, LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, are common in SSc. However, a small subset of patients without any cardiac or pulmonary diseases have a restrictive mitral flow pattern that could be due to primary cardiac involvement of SSc. The prognostic implications of the LV abnormalities will be evaluated in the 3-year follow-up of this cohort.

Abstract
In 1996, due to a residual risk of transfusion-transmitted virus, a circular of the French Health Authorities (DGS/DH n degrees 96-609) recommended proposing to recipients of cellular blood products a test for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and for antibodies to hepatitis C virus, before and three months after transfusion. We have evaluated the application of this recommendation throughout the whole transfused population of a French Hospital over a three month period. In addition, this study allowed us to establish the vaccination status against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in this exposed population including transfusion and nosocomial risks. The results showed a failure in the application of the 1996 circular and confirmed the validity of the abrogation of this circular by a recent circular (11 January 2006) of the French health authorities. It also showed that only a minority of patients needing a vaccination against HBV were afforded such treatment during their hospitalization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether assessing D-Dimer might be helpful for the management of acute aortic dissection (AAD). DESIGN Single-center retrospective case-control study. SETTING University Hospital of Strasbourg France. PATIENTS Patients were 94 consecutive patients admitted to our institution with confirmed AAD and in whom D-Dimer test had been performed at presentation. These patients were matched with 94 controls presenting with clinical suspicion of dissection, which was later ruled out. INTERVENTIONS Patient characteristics and clinical course were analyzed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Ninety-three (99%) patients with AAD had elevated D-Dimer (>400 ng/mL) with a median D-Dimer value of 8610 ng/mL (interquartile range, 2982-20,000 ng/mL). Receiver operating characteristic curves analysis showed that D-Dimer, but not C-reactive protein, troponin, lactate dehydrogenase, or leukocyte count, was predictive of a diagnosis of AAD, with a sensitivity and specificity of 99% and 34%, respectively. D-Dimer concentration positively correlated with the anatomical extension of the dissection to the different segments of the aorta (R = .47, p < .0001). A positive relationship was observed between D-Dimer and in-hospital mortality rate among patients with AAD (p = .037). On multivariate analysis, the independent predictors of in-hospital mortality were the presence of pericardial effusion (odds ratio, 6.80; confidence interval, 1.87-27.60), D-Dimer >5200 ng/mL (odds ratio, 5.38; confidence interval, 1.27-30.87), and female gender (odds ratio, 4.96; confidence interval, 1.39-19.95). CONCLUSIONS D-Dimers are elevated in patients with AAD and provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. In patients with acute chest pain and elevated D-Dimer, a diagnosis of AAD should also be considered. D-Dimer might be a useful complementary tool to the current diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected AAD.

Abstract
Background—
Dobutamine stress hemodynamics (DSH) has the potential to stratify operative risk in low-gradient aortic stenosis (AS), but little is known about the relation between left ventricle contractile reserve and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We sought to assess the value of DSH to predict postoperative improvement in LVEF.
Methods and Results—
Sixty-six consecutive patients with symptomatic severe AS (aortic valve area ≤1 cm
2
), LVEF ≤40%, and mean pressure gradient ≤40 mm Hg prospectively enrolled in the French multicenter study on low-gradient AS and who survived to aortic valvular replacement (AVR) were included. Preoperative contractile reserve was present in 46 patients (group I; 70%) and absent in 20 patients (group II; 30%). In the overall sample, 58% of patients improved by 2 New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes after AVR. Mean LVEF improved from 29±6% to 47±11% (
P
<0.0001). LVEF improved by ≥10 EF units in 38 patients (83%) in group I and in 13 patients (65%) in group II. Mean LVEF improvement was similar in the 2 groups (19±10% versus 17±11%;
P
=0.54). On multivariable analysis, multivessel coronary artery disease (
P
=0.05) and baseline mean transaortic pressure gradient (
P
=0.01) were related to LVEF improvement, whereas contractile reserve was not.
Conclusions—
LVEF increases in the majority of patients with low-gradient AS who survive after AVR. Although the absence of contractile reserve on DSH is related to high operative mortality, it does not predict the absence of LVEF recovery in patients surviving to AVR. These data further support the concept that surgery should not be contraindicated on the basis of absence of contractile reserve alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE the aim of this study was to document the choice between prosthesis and bioprosthesis in cases of valvular replacement during the seventh decade of life. METHODS a retrospective and cooperative study linking eleven cardiac surgical teams and five medical cardiology teams combined 497 subjects born between 1915 and 1925 (average age 64.4 years) who underwent aortic (313 cases) or mitral (184 cases) valvular replacement with mechanical prosthesis (259 cases) or bioprosthesis (238 cases). Information was collected at each centre during the year 2000 on the long term evolution (going back 15 years), in particular on the mortality, non-fatal complications linked to the valve, cardiac complications and extra-cardiac events. These results were subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS the operative mortality of this group was 4.8%. The 15 year survival was 46% for the aortic mechanical prostheses, 32% for the aortic bioprostheses (p=0.04). 34% for the mitral bioprostheses and 33% for the mitral mechanical prostheses. Events linked to the valve were more frequent for the mitral valvulopathies than for the aortic valves (49% vs 26%, p<0.001). The absence of events linked to the valve at 15 years was 69% for the aortic mechanical prostheses and 68% for the aortic bioprostheses. This was the case in only 57% of mitral mechanical prostheses and 36% of the mitral bioprostheses (p=0.11). Thromboembolic accidents were three times more frequent in the mitrals than in the aortics (11.5 vs 3.8%, p=0.002). Haemorrhage was four times more frequent for the mechanical prostheses than for the bioprostheses (7.7 vs 2%, p=0.01). The risk of degeneration for the aortic bioprostheses was 20% at 15 years, three times less so after 65 years of age (p=0.03). At 48% it was much higher in the mitral valves at 15 years with no significant difference before and after 65 years of age (p=0.3). CONCLUSION the current life expectancy of subjects in their seventh decade is important. The greatly elevated risk of bioprosthesis degeneration in the mitral position does not allow this alternative to be advocated before 70 years of age. In the aortic position, this risk is elevated before 65 years of age. It is lower after 65 years old. Nevertheless, this means the risk of reoperation in certain octogenarians must be accepted, balanced with the linear risk of haemorrhagic accidents for which a future reduction is expected thanks to milder anticoagulation for aortic mechanical prostheses and anticoagulation autocontrol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of dobutamine stress hemodynamic data in the setting of low-gradient aortic stenosis has been addressed in small, single-center studies. Larger studies are needed to define the criteria for selecting the patients who will benefit from valve replacement. METHODS AND RESULTS Six centers prospectively enrolled 136 patients with aortic stenosis (96 men; median age, 72 years [range, 65 to 77 years]; median aortic valve area, 0.7 cm2 [range, 0.6 to 0.8]; mean transaortic gradient, 29 mm Hg [range, 23 to 34 mm Hg]; cardiac index, 2.11 L x min(-1) x m(-2) [range, 1.75 to 2.55 L x min(-1) x m(-2)]). Left ventricular contractile reserve on the dobutamine stress Doppler study was present in 92 patients (group I) and absent in 44 patients (group II). Operative mortality was 5% (3 of 64 patients) in group I compared with 32% (10 of 31 patients) in group II (P=0.0002). Predictors for operative mortality were the lack of contractile reserve (odds ratio, 10.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6 to 43.4; P=0.001) and a mean transaortic gradient < or =20 mm Hg (odds ratio, 4.7; 95% CI, 1.1 to 21.0; P=0.04). Predictors for long-term survival were valve replacement (hazard ratio, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.53; P=0.001) and left ventricular contractile reserve (hazard ratio, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.69; P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS In the setting of low-gradient aortic stenosis, surgery seems beneficial for most of the patients with left ventricular contractile reserve. In contrast, the postoperative outcome of patients without reserve is compromised by a high operative mortality. Thus, dobutamine stress Doppler hemodynamics may be factored into the risk-benefit analysis for each patient.

Abstract
Vascular stiffness is a major contributory factor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) could make it possible to evaluate vascular rigidity in a site by the measurement of the arterial wall velocity. The objective of this work is to validate the use of tissue Doppler imaging in the assessment of carotid rigidity. The following parameters were measured with TDI (ATL HDI 5000 and software HDI Lab): maximum velocity and mean acceleration of parietal motion (VMax and AccMax). These measurements were corrected for the arterial diameter and pulse pressure (VMax cor and AccMax cor). These data have been compared to the calculated parameters of elasticity from a mode M echography. Thirty-one subjects aged of 26 to 77 years (41.6 +/- 10.6 years, m +/- ESM), without atheromatous plaque or high blood pressure, have been included. The VMax is correlated very significantly at the parietal velocity calculated with mode M echography (r = 0.77; p = 0.00002). The VMax cor is correlated significantly with the parameters of stiffness following: distensibility coefficient, compliance coefficient, pulse wave velocity, elasticity modulus of Young, coefficient beta. [table: see text] Tissue Doppler imaging allows an easy evaluation of the carotid stiffness correlated with the parameters of elasticity. Therefore it constitutes a method of evaluation of the cardiovascular risk. Further longitudinal studies will be able to assess the involvement of the carotid stiffness as causal agent of the cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
The value of an early initial coadministration of levodopa (L-dopa) and lisuride in Parkinson's disease was the main goal of the present study. Eighty-two patients with recently diagnosed idiopathic Parkinson's disease were randomized into two groups for treatment with L-dopa alone or L-dopa + lisuride. The trial was double-blinded for the first year and open for the following 4 years. Selegiline (10 mg/day b.i.d.) was added in both groups at the end of the first year. Outcome measures were evolution of L-dopa dosage and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale scores and subscores, and incidence of motor complications. The dropout rate was higher in the L-dopa group (63.4%) than in the combination group. Motor improvement was better (p < 0.01) in the L-dopa + lisuride group. Expected motor complications were rare, moderate and equivalent in the two groups despite a difference in L-dopa dosage (446.7 vs. 387.5 mg/day). Long-term follow-up demonstrated the L-dopa-sparing effect of lisuride (average 1 mg/day), the beneficial effect of early combination therapy on motor status and the paucity of motor complications in both groups.

Abstract
We report the case of a 71-year-old man bearing a severe right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale in the absence of elevated right-sided heart or pulmonary artery pressures. He presented with platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, but he had no pulmonary or extracardiac diseases that are known to be associated with this syndrome. Chest radiography showed a bulky aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. A peripheral contrast transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a large right-to-left shunt through a patent foramen ovale. In addition, the atrial septum was severely deformed by an aneurysm including this patent foramen ovale. We hypothesized that the opening of the foramen ovale was the result of a mechanical deformation of the atrial septum by two contributing factors: the aneurysm of the thoracic aorta and the aneurysm of the septum itself.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early poststroke depression (PSD) is a frequent and specific entity that impairs the rehabilitation and functional recovery of hemiplegic patients. This trial was designed to study the efficacy and tolerance of fluoxetine (FLX) in the treatment of early PSD. METHODS This was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Recent hemiplegic patients (<3 months) suffering from major depressive disorder (determined by International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS] >19) were randomized to receive either 20 mg/d fluoxetine (FLX) or placebo for 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated by use of the Motricity Index, Mini-Mental State Examination, Functional Independence Measure, and MADRS. Statistical analysis was performed by using an intent-to-treat approach comparing the 2 groups at day 0 (baseline) and days 15, 30, and 45 (end point). RESULTS Of 121 patients screened, 31 were included in the study, 16 in the FLX group and 15 in the placebo group. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics among the 2 groups. The FLX-treated patients compared with placebo-treated patients demonstrated significant improvement in mean MADRS scores at end point (11.8+/-6. 7 [mean+/-SD] versus 18.7+/-10.0, respectively; P=0.05). FLX-treated patients compared with placebo-treated patients also demonstrated greater response rate (62.5% versus 33.3%, respectively) and greater mean decrease of MADRS (16.6 versus 8.4, respectively; P=0.02). There were no differences in motor, cognitive, or functional improvement and no significant side effects after FLX treatment, except for a patient with a moderate and transient increase of transaminases. CONCLUSIONS FLX is an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment for early PSD. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term treatment in this population.

Abstract
Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) is a reported cause of varying degrees of neuromuscular weakness in patients with multiple organ failure. Little is known concerning predictive factors of neurological recovery. The critical care conditions, neurological explorations and 2-year clinical follow-up of 19 patients who suffered from severe forms (quadriplegia or quadriparesis) of CIP were analyzed. Characteristics of patients who recovered clinically were compared with those of patients who did not. Two patients died within 2 months, 11 recovered completely, 4 remained quadriplegic and 2 remained quadriparetic. All patients suffered from sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and a catabolic state before the onset of CIP. Outcome appears difficult to predict with clinical or electrophysiological data. Three parameters were significantly correlated with poor recovery: longer length of stay in the critical care unit, longer duration of sepsis and greater body weight loss. A relationship seems to exist between the severity of CIP and that of sepsis and its associated hypercatabolism. The favorable outcome usually attributed to CIP must be reconsidered. The authors recommend aggressive measures against sepsis to limit CIP and its sequelae.
