3. Prévenir les violences sexuelles en milieu autochtone : retour sur la formation au Programme Lanterne|Awacic

Author: Attard, V., Dion, J., Bergeron-Leclerc, C., Tremblay, V., Hébert, M., De La Sablonnière-Griffin, M., Attard, V., Dion, J., Bergeron-Leclerc, C., Tremblay, V., Hébert, M., and De La Sablonnière-Griffin, M.
Abstract: Objectifs : La violence sexuelle demeure un problème sociétal touchant tous les groupes sociaux comme les enfants. En ce sens, cette étude évalue un programme de formation à la prévention de la violence sexuelle chez les tout-petits en communautés autochtones. L’étude vise à documenter les effets de la formation au Programme Lanterne|Awacic ainsi qu’à identifier les barrières et les leviers propres à ce type de formation. Méthode : Menée auprès de 42 intervenants, cette étude évaluative de nature mixte a privilégié l’utilisation de trois types de collecte de données : le questionnaire, l’entrevue et le groupe de discussion. Résultats : Des effets positifs de la formation ont été observés à très court terme (p. ex., augmentation des connaissances et des croyances). Les résultats sont plus mitigés quant à son effet sur l’utilisation des outils à moyen terme (p. ex., faible utilisation des outils). Les résultats mettent également en exergue l’importance du processus de sécurisation culturelle dans les projets menés dans les communautés autochtones, la nécessité d’impliquer la population locale dans le projet et l’appréciation des participants face à la formation au Programme Lanterne|Awacic. Implications : La formation permet d’outiller les professionnels oeuvrant auprès des enfants d’âge préscolaire à intervenir en matière de prévention de la violence sexuelle. Les résultats suggèrent néanmoins qu’un rappel de la formation aurait permis de maintenir les effets à plus long terme. En somme, les résultats indiquent la pertinence de poursuivre les efforts de prévention dans les communautés autochtones.

Abstract: Aim: To investigate the interdependence between risk factors associated with long-term intellectual development in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).Method: The Tuberous Sclerosis 2000 Study is a prospective longitudinal study of individuals with TSC. In phase 1 of the study, baseline measures of intellectual ability, epilepsy, cortical tuber load, and mutation were obtained for 125 children (63 females, 62 males; median age=39mo). In phase 2, at an average of 8 years later, intellectual abilities were estimated for 88 participants with TSC and 35 unaffected siblings. Structural equation modelling was used to determine the risk pathways from genetic mutation through to IQ at phase 2.Results: Intellectual disability was present in 57% of individuals with TSC. Individuals without intellectual disability had significantly lower mean IQ compared to unaffected siblings, supporting specific genetic factors associated with intellectual impairment. Individuals with TSC who had a slower gain in IQ from infancy to middle childhood were younger at seizure onset and had increased infant seizure severity. Structural equation modelling indicated indirect pathways from genetic mutation, to tuber count, to seizure severity in infancy, through to IQ in middle childhood and adolescence.Interpretation: Early-onset and severe epilepsy in the first 2 years of life are associated with increased risk of long-term intellectual disability in individuals with TSC, emphasizing the importance of early and effective treatment or prevention of epilepsy.What This Paper Adds: Intellectual disability was present in 57% of individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Those with TSC without intellectual disability had significantly lower mean IQ compared to unaffected siblings. Earlier onset and greater severity of seizures in the first 2 years were observed in individuals with a slower gain in intellectual ability. Risk pathways through seizures in the first 2 years predict long-term cognitive outcomes in individuals with TSC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. Angiomyolipomata: challenges, solutions, and future prospects based on over 100 cases treated

Author: Sooriakumaran, P, Gibbs, P, Coughlin, G, Attard, V, Elmslie, F, Kingswood, C, Taylor, J, Corbishley, C, Patel, U, and Anderson, C
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To examine the presentation, management and outcomes of patients with renal angiomyolipoma (AML) over a period of 10 years, at St George's Hospital, London, UK. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We assessed retrospectively 102 patients (median follow-up 4 years) at our centre; 70 had tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC; median tumour size 3.5 cm) and the other 32 were sporadic (median tumour size 1.2 cm). Data were gathered from several sources, including radiology and clinical genetics databases. The 77 patients with stable disease were followed up with surveillance imaging, and 25 received interventions, some more than one. Indications for intervention included spontaneous life-threatening haemorrhage, large AML (10-20 cm), pain and visceral compressive symptoms. RESULTS: Selective arterial embolization (SAE) was performed in 19 patients; 10 received operative management and four had a radiofrequency ablation (RFA). SAE was effective in controlling haemorrhage from AMLs in the acute setting (six) but some patients required further intervention (four) and there was a significant complication rate. The reduction in tumour volume was only modest (28%). No complications occurred after surgery (median follow-up 5.5 years) or RFA (median follow-up 9 months). One patient was entered into a trial and treated with sirolimus (rapamycin). CONCLUSIONS: The management of AML is both complex and challenging, especially in those with TSC, where tumours are usually larger and multiple. Although SAE was effective at controlling haemorrhage in the acute setting it was deemed to be of limited value in the longer term management of these tumours. Thus novel techniques such as focused ablation and pharmacological therapies including the use of anti-angiogenic molecules and mTOR inhibitors, which might prove to be safer and equally effective, should be further explored.

Abstract: This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License.-- CIMBA et al., BRCA1-associated breast and ovarian cancer risks can be modified by common genetic variants. To identify further cancer risk-modifying loci, we performed a multi-stage GWAS of 11,705 BRCA1 carriers (of whom 5,920 were diagnosed with breast and 1,839 were diagnosed with ovarian cancer), with a further replication in an additional sample of 2,646 BRCA1 carriers. We identified a novel breast cancer risk modifier locus at 1q32 for BRCA1 carriers (rs2290854, P = 2.7 × 10(-8), HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.09-1.20). In addition, we identified two novel ovarian cancer risk modifier loci: 17q21.31 (rs17631303, P = 1.4 × 10(-8), HR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.17-1.38) and 4q32.3 (rs4691139, P = 3.4 × 10(-8), HR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.17-1.38). The 4q32.3 locus was not associated with ovarian cancer risk in the general population or BRCA2 carriers, suggesting a BRCA1-specific association. The 17q21.31 locus was also associated with ovarian cancer risk in 8,211 BRCA2 carriers (P = 2×10(-4)). These loci may lead to an improved understanding of the etiology of breast and ovarian tumors in BRCA1 carriers. Based on the joint distribution of the known BRCA1 breast cancer risk-modifying loci, we estimated that the breast cancer lifetime risks for the 5% of BRCA1 carriers at lowest risk are 28%-50% compared to 81%-100% for the 5% at highest risk. Similarly, based on the known ovarian cancer risk-modifying loci, the 5% of BRCA1 carriers at lowest risk have an estimated lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer of 28% or lower, whereas the 5% at highest risk will have a risk of 63% or higher. Such differences in risk may have important implications for risk prediction and clinical management for BRCA1 carriers., The study was supported by NIH grant CA128978, an NCI Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Breast Cancer (CA116201), a U.S. Department of Defense Ovarian Cancer Idea award (W81XWH-10-1-0341), grants from the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Komen Foundation for the Cure; Cancer Research UK grants C12292/A11174 and C1287/A10118; the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme grant agreement 223175 (HEALTH-F2-2009-223175).

Abstract: Item does not contain fulltext Mutations in the BRCA1 gene substantially increase a woman's lifetime risk of breast cancer. However, there is great variation in this increase in risk with several genetic and non-genetic modifiers identified. The BRCA1 protein plays a central role in DNA repair, a mechanism that is particularly instrumental in safeguarding cells against tumorigenesis. We hypothesized that polymorphisms that alter the expression and/or function of BRCA1 carried on the wild-type (non-mutated) copy of the BRCA1 gene would modify the risk of breast cancer in carriers of BRCA1 mutations. A total of 9874 BRCA1 mutation carriers were available in the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 (CIMBA) for haplotype analyses of BRCA1. Women carrying the rare allele of single nucleotide polymorphism rs16942 on the wild-type copy of BRCA1 were at decreased risk of breast cancer (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.77-0.95, P = 0.003). Promoter in vitro assays of the major BRCA1 haplotypes showed that common polymorphisms in the regulatory region alter its activity and that this effect may be attributed to the differential binding affinity of nuclear proteins. In conclusion, variants on the wild-type copy of BRCA1 modify risk of breast cancer among carriers of BRCA1 mutations, possibly by altering the efficiency of BRCA1 transcription.

Abstract: Item does not contain fulltext Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 6q25.1, near the ESR1 gene, have been implicated in the susceptibility to breast cancer for Asian (rs2046210) and European women (rs9397435). A genome-wide association study in Europeans identified two further breast cancer susceptibility variants: rs11249433 at 1p11.2 and rs999737 in RAD51L1 at 14q24.1. Although previously identified breast cancer susceptibility variants have been shown to be associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, the involvement of these SNPs to breast cancer susceptibility in mutation carriers is currently unknown. To address this, we genotyped these SNPs in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers from 42 studies from the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2. In the analysis of 14 123 BRCA1 and 8053 BRCA2 mutation carriers of European ancestry, the 6q25.1 SNPs (r(2) = 0.14) were independently associated with the risk of breast cancer for BRCA1 mutation carriers [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.23, P-trend = 4.5 x 10(-9) for rs2046210; HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.18-1.40, P-trend = 1.3 x 10(-8) for rs9397435], but only rs9397435 was associated with the risk for BRCA2 carriers (HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.01-1.28, P-trend = 0.031). SNP rs11249433 (1p11.2) was associated with the risk of breast cancer for BRCA2 mutation carriers (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.17, P-trend = 0.015), but was not associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 mutation carriers (HR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.92-1.02, P-trend = 0.20). SNP rs999737 (RAD51L1) was not associated with breast cancer risk for either BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers (P-trend = 0.27 and 0.30, respectively). The identification of SNPs at 6q25.1 associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 mutation carriers will lead to a better understanding of the biology of tumour development in these women.

Abstract: BRCA1-associated breast and ovarian cancer risks can be modified by common genetic variants. To identify further cancer risk-modifying loci, we performed a multi-stage GWAS of 11,705 BRCA1 carriers (of whom 5,920 were diagnosed with breast and 1,839 were diagnosed with ovarian cancer), with a further replication in an additional sample of 2,646 BRCA1 carriers. We identified a novel breast cancer risk modifier locus at 1q32 for BRCA1 carriers (rs2290854, P = 2.7×10-8, HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.09-1.20). In addition, we identified two novel ovarian cancer risk modifier loci: 17q21.31 (rs17631303, P = 1.4×10-8, HR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.17-1.38) and 4q32.3 (rs4691139, P = 3.4×10-8, HR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.17-1.38). The 4q32.3 locus was not associated with ovarian cancer risk in the general population or BRCA2 carriers, suggesting a BRCA1-specific associati

Abstract: Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 6q25.1, near the ESR1 gene, have been implicated in the susceptibility to breast cancer for Asian (rs2046210) and European women (rs9397435). A genome-wide association study in Europeans identified two further breast cancer susceptibility variants: rs11249433 at 1p11.2 and rs999737 in RAD51L1 at 14q24.1. Although previously identified breast cancer susceptibility variants have been shown to be associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers, the involvement of these SNPs to breast cancer susceptibility in mutation carriers is currently unknown. To address this, we genotyped these SNPs in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers from 42 studies from the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2. In the analysis of 14 123 BRCA1 and 8053 BRCA2 mutation carriers of European ancestry, the 6q25.1 SNPs (r2= 0.14) were independently associated with the risk of breast cancer for BRCA1 mutation carriers [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.23, P-trend = 4.5 × 10-9for rs2046210; HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.18-1.40, P-trend = 1.3 × 10-8for rs9397435], but only rs9397435 was associated with the risk for BRCA2 carriers (HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.01-1.28, P-trend = 0.031). SNP rs11249433 (1p11.2) was associated with the risk of breast cancer for BRCA2 mutation carriers (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.02-1.17, P-trend = 0.015), but was not associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 mutation carriers (HR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.92-1.02, P-trend = 0.20). SNP rs999737 (RAD51L1) was not associated with breast cancer risk for either BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers (P-trend = 0.27 and 0.30, respectively). The identification of SNPs at 6q25.1 associated with breast cancer risk for BRCA1 mutation carriers will lead to a better understanding of the biology of tumour development in these women.

13. Implementing a sexual violence prevention program in two Canadian Indigenous communities: Challenges and lessons learned.

Author: Dion J, Attard V, Guyon R, De La Sablonnière-Griffin M, Perreault É, and Hébert M
Subjects: Child, Humans, Canada, Indigenous Peoples, Sex Offenses prevention & control
Abstract: Background: The prevalence of child sexual violence remains overwhelming, particularly among Indigenous populations, despite increased awareness. Therefore, implementing efficient initiatives is crucial in preventing and reducing sexual violence rates among these groups., Objective: This study aimed to examine the processes involved in the implementation of a sexual violence prevention program in two Indigenous communities in Canada and assess application of culturally safe practices., Method: Eight Indigenous and non-Indigenous project managers underwent semi-structured interviews before the program's implementation; five of them also participated in the follow-up interviews. Moreover, thirteen Indigenous service providers from the two communities answered open-ended questions when the included training ended., Results: Thematic analysis revealed the importance of following an ongoing process (not only before implementing a program) to assess the needs of community members and involving them in decision-making. Administrative injunctions were also identified as a significant challenge during implementation. Results showed that participants reported the taboo of sexual violence as a challenge but that constant discussions about the prevention of sexual violence helped defuse the discomfort and foster trust between Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals. Finally, participants provided recommendations to improve research and intervention practices., Conclusions: Several takeaways were discussed to improve research practices with, by, and for Indigenous peoples, such as using collaborative communication, developing common understanding relative to work agendas, and increasing cultural competencies to build trust within the partnership., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest None., (Copyright © 2023.

Abstract: As climate-related impacts threaten marine biodiversity globally, it is important to adjust conservation efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change. Translating scientific knowledge into practical management, however, is often complicated due to resource, economic and policy constraints, generating a knowledge-action gap. To develop potential solutions for marine turtle conservation, we explored the perceptions of key actors across 18 countries in the Mediterranean. These actors evaluated their perceived relative importance of 19 adaptation and mitigation measures that could safeguard marine turtles from climate change. Of importance, despite differences in expertise, experience and focal country, the perceptions of researchers and management practitioners largely converged with respect to prioritizing adaptation and mitigation measures. Climate change was considered to have the greatest impacts on offspring sex ratios and suitable nesting sites. The most viable adaptation/mitigation measures were considered to be reducing other pressures that act in parallel to climate change. Ecological effectiveness represented a key determinant for implementing proposed measures, followed by practical applicability, financial cost, and societal cost. This convergence in opinions across actors likely reflects long-standing initiatives in the Mediterranean region towards supporting knowledge exchange in marine turtle conservation. Our results provide important guidance on how to prioritize measures that incorporate climate change in decision-making processes related to the current and future management and protection of marine turtles at the ocean-basin scale, and could be used to guide decisions in other regions globally. Importantly, this study demonstrates a successful example of how interactive processes can be used to fill the knowledge-action gap between research and management., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: Background: Physiological cardiac remodelling in highly trained athletes may overlap with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)., Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in differentiating between physiological and pathological remodelling., Methods: The study population consisted of 30 patients with DCM who revealed a pathogenic variant at genetic testing and 30 elite athletes with significant cardiac remodelling defined by a left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic diameter >62 mm and/or LV ejection fraction between 45% and 50%., Results: The ECG was abnormal in 22 (73%) patients with DCM. The most common abnormalities were low voltages (n = 14, 47%), lateral T-wave inversion (TWI) (n = 6, 20%), ventricular ectopic beats (n = 5, 17%) and anterior TWI (n = 4, 13). Two athletes revealed an abnormal ECG: complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) in one case and atrial flutter in the other. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the ECG in differentiating DCM from physiological adaptation to exercise in athletes was 73% (confidence interval [CI]: 54%-88%), 93% (CI: 78%-99%) and 0.83 (CI: 0.71-0.92) respectively., Conclusions: While the ECG is usually normal in athletes exhibiting significant LV dilatation and/or systolic dysfunction, this test is often abnormal in patients with DCM harbouring a pathogenic variant. Low voltages in the limb leads and lateral TWI are the most common abnormalities., (© 2022 Stichting European Society for Clinical Investigation Journal Foundation.

Abstract: Objective: To determine the prevalence of pulmonary metastases on re-staging chest CT at the time of first local recurrence (LR) of trunk or extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS)., Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of all patients diagnosed with recurrent STS between May 2007 and April 2018. Data collected included patient age and sex, site of primary STS, time to LR, recurrence site, initial tumour grade, recurrent tumour grade, findings of initial staging chest CT, and prevalence of pulmonary metastases on re-staging chest CT., Results: The study included 109 patients (males = 68, females = 41; mean age 56 years, range 9-92 years). The commonest tumour sub-types were myxofibrosarcoma (27.5%), undifferentiated pleomorphic/spindle cell sarcoma (20.2%), synovial sarcoma (10.1%), and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (10.1%). Initial staging chest CT demonstrated pulmonary metastases in 1 of 77 (1.3%) patients for whom CT was available for review. The mean time to LR was 30.8 months (range 3-224 months). Pulmonary metastases were diagnosed on re-staging chest CT in 26 of 109 cases (23.9%), being commonest with grade 3 STS (36.1%). Pleomorphic sarcoma (85.7%) and undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma (33.3%) were the 2 commonest tumour sub-types associated with pulmonary metastases at first LR., Conclusion: Re-staging chest CT at the time of first LR of STS identified a prevalence of 23.9% pulmonary metastases, which supports the need for chest CT at the time of LR in line with the UK guidelines for the management of bone and soft tissue sarcoma., Key Points: • Pulmonary metastases were diagnosed in 1.3% of soft tissue sarcomas at presentation. • Pulmonary metastases were identified in ~ 24% of patients at first local recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma, most commonly with pleomorphic sarcoma and Trojani grade tumours. • No patient with a low-grade recurrence had pulmonary metastases.

Abstract: Aims: Stiffness is a common complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Pathogenesis is not understood, treatment options are limited, and diagnosis is challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate if MRI can be used to visualize intra-articular scarring in patients with stiff, painful knee arthroplasties., Methods: Well-functioning primary TKAs (n = 11), failed non-fibrotic TKAs (n = 5), and patients with a clinical diagnosis of fibrosis 1 (n = 8) underwent an MRI scan with advanced metal suppression (Slice Encoding for Metal Artefact Correction, SEMAC) with gadolinium contrast. Fibrotic tissue (low intensity on T1 and T2, low-moderate post-contrast enhancement) was quantified (presence and tissue thickness) in six compartments: supra/infrapatella, medial/lateral gutters, and posterior medial/lateral., Results: Fibrotic tissue was identified in all patients studied. However, tissue was significantly thicker in fibrotic patients (4.4 mm ± 0.2 mm) versus non-fibrotic (2.5 mm ± 0.4 mm) and normal TKAs (1.9 mm ± 0.2 mm, p = < 0.05). Significant (> 4 mm thick) tissue was seen in 26/48 (54%) of compartments examined in the fibrotic group, compared with 17/30 (57%) non-fibrotic, and 10/66 (15%) normal TKAs. Although revision surgery did improve range of movement (ROM) in all fibrotic patients, clinically significant restriction remained post-surgery., Conclusion: Stiff TKAs contain intra-articular fibrotic tissue that is identifiable by MRI. Studies should evaluate whether MRI is useful for surgical planning of debridement, and as a non-invasive measurement tool following interventions for stiffness caused by fibrosis. Revision for stiffness can improve ROM, but outcomes are sub-optimal and new treatments are required. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(10):1331-1340.

Abstract: Aims: To characterize the most common electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), including anterior T-wave inversion (TWI) and to compare the characteristics of TWI in patients with ARVC and in a cohort of young healthy athletes and sedentary individuals., Methods and Results: The study population consisted of 162 patients with a definite diagnosis of ARVC and 129 young controls with anterior TWI. Cardiac disease was excluded in all controls after a comprehensive diagnostic work-up. The ECG was abnormal in 131 patients with ARVC (81%). Abnormalities included anterior TWI (n = 82, 51%), QRS duration ratio V2:V5 >1.2 (n = 51, 31%), prolonged terminal S wave activation duration in V2 >55 ms (n = 42, 26%), inferior TWI (n = 30, 18%), and lateral TWI (n = 26, 16%). The J-point preceding anterior TWI was <0.1 mV in 80/82 (98%) patients with ARVC and in 98 (76%) controls. Among the ARVC patients with anterior TWI, 62 (77%) showed at least one additional abnormal feature, most commonly QRS duration ratio V2:V5 > 1.2 (52%) and inferior or lateral TWI (47%)., Conclusion: The ECG is frequently abnormal in patients with ARVC and anterior TWI is the most common feature. Anterior TWI is usually accompanied by other abnormalities in ARVC, which are uncommon in healthy individuals. J point <0.1 mV preceding anterior TWI is not specific to ARVC and is observed in the majority of healthy individuals, including athletes, indicating a limited role for differentiating physiology or normal variants from ARVC.

Abstract: We present an unusual case of Eagle's syndrome with bilateral internal carotid artery dissection in a 45-year-old man. Initial symptomatology included ipsilateral headaches and facial sensory symptoms. A right horner's syndrome was present on clinical examination. Radiological imaging revealed an old infarct, with bilateral carotid dissections and bilateral elongated styloid processes consistent with Eagle's syndrome. Despite initiation of secondary prevention with antiplatelet therapy, he had two further ischaemic events. The case highlights the symptomatology and complications of Eagle's syndrome, with its management discussed through a review of similar case reports., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2018.

Abstract: Importance: Nurses working in an intensive care unit (ICU) are exposed to occupational stressors that can increase the risk of stress reactions, long-term absenteeism, and turnover., Objective: To evaluate the effects of a program including simulation in reducing work-related stress and work-related outcomes among ICU nurses., Design, Setting, and Participants: Multicenter randomized clinical trial performed at 8 adult ICUs in France from February 8, 2016, through April 29, 2017. A total of 198 ICU nurses were included and followed up for 1 year until April 30, 2018., Interventions: The ICU nurses who had at least 6 months of ICU experience were randomized to the intervention group (n = 101) or to the control group (n = 97). The nurses randomized to the intervention group received a 5-day course involving a nursing theory recap and situational role-play using simulated scenarios (based on technical dexterity, clinical approach, decision making, aptitude to teamwork, and task prioritization), which were followed by debriefing sessions on attitude and discussion of practices., Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the prevalence of job strain assessed by combining a psychological demand score greater than 21 (score range, 9 [best] to 36 [worst]) with a decision latitude score less than 72 (score range, 24 [worst] to 96 [best]) using the Job Content Questionnaire and evaluated at 6 months. There were 7 secondary outcomes including absenteeism and turnover., Results: Among 198 ICU nurses who were randomized (95 aged ≤30 years [48%] and 115 women [58%]), 182 (92%) completed the trial for the primary outcome. The trial was stopped for efficacy at the scheduled interim analysis after enrollment of 198 participants. The prevalence of job strain at 6 months was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (13% vs 67%, respectively; between-group difference, 54% [95% CI, 40%-64%]; P < .001). Absenteeism during the 6-month follow-up period was 1% in the intervention group compared with 8% in the control group (between-group difference, 7% [95% CI, 1%-15%]; P = .03). Four nurses (4%) from the intervention group left the ICU during the 6-month follow-up period compared with 12 nurses (12%) from the control group (between-group difference, 8% [95% CI, 0%-17%]; P = .04)., Conclusions and Relevance: Among ICU nurses, an intervention that included education, role-play, and debriefing resulted in a lower prevalence of job strain at 6 months compared with nurses who did not undergo this program. Further research is needed to understand which components of the program may have contributed to this result and to evaluate whether this program is cost-effective., Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02672072.

Abstract: Background: Familial evaluation after a sudden death with negative autopsy (sudden arrhythmic death syndrome; SADS) may identify relatives at risk of fatal arrhythmias., Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of systematic ajmaline provocation testing using high right precordial leads (RPLs) on the diagnostic yield of Brugada syndrome (BrS) in a large cohort of SADS families., Methods: Three hundred three SADS families (911 relatives) underwent evaluation with resting electrocardiogram using conventional and high RPLs, echocardiography, exercise, and 24-h electrocardiogram monitor. An ajmaline test with conventional and high RPLs was undertaken in 670 (74%) relatives without a familial diagnosis after initial evaluation. Further investigations were guided by clinical suspicion., Results: An inherited cardiac disease was diagnosed in 128 (42%) families and 201 (22%) relatives. BrS was the most prevalent diagnosis (n = 85, 28% of families; n = 140, 15% of relatives). Ajmaline testing was required to unmask the BrS in 97% of diagnosed individuals. The use of high RPLs showed a 16% incremental diagnostic yield of ajmaline testing by diagnosing BrS in an additional 49 families. There were no differences of the characteristics between individuals and families with a diagnostic pattern in the conventional and the high RPLs. On follow-up, a spontaneous type 1 Brugada pattern and/or clinically significant arrhythmic events developed in 17% (n = 25) of the concealed BrS cohort., Conclusions: Systematic use of ajmaline testing with high RPLs increases substantially the yield of BrS in SADS families. Assessment should be performed in expert centers where patients are counseled appropriately for the potential implications of provocation testing., (Copyright © 2018 American College of Cardiology Foundation.

Abstract: Objective: To examine the presentation, management and outcomes of patients with renal angiomyolipoma (AML) over a period of 10 years, at St George's Hospital, London, UK., Patients and Methods: We assessed retrospectively 102 patients (median follow-up 4 years) at our centre; 70 had tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC; median tumour size 3.5 cm) and the other 32 were sporadic (median tumour size 1.2 cm). Data were gathered from several sources, including radiology and clinical genetics databases. The 77 patients with stable disease were followed up with surveillance imaging, and 25 received interventions, some more than one. Indications for intervention included spontaneous life-threatening haemorrhage, large AML (10-20 cm), pain and visceral compressive symptoms., Results: Selective arterial embolization (SAE) was performed in 19 patients; 10 received operative management and four had a radiofrequency ablation (RFA). SAE was effective in controlling haemorrhage from AMLs in the acute setting (six) but some patients required further intervention (four) and there was a significant complication rate. The reduction in tumour volume was only modest (28%). No complications occurred after surgery (median follow-up 5.5 years) or RFA (median follow-up 9 months). One patient was entered into a trial and treated with sirolimus (rapamycin)., Conclusions: The management of AML is both complex and challenging, especially in those with TSC, where tumours are usually larger and multiple. Although SAE was effective at controlling haemorrhage in the acute setting it was deemed to be of limited value in the longer term management of these tumours. Thus novel techniques such as focused ablation and pharmacological therapies including the use of anti-angiogenic molecules and mTOR inhibitors, which might prove to be safer and equally effective, should be further explored.
