Abstract

Background: Anorectal malformations (ARM) are the most common neonatal emergencies in Sub-Saharan Africa countries. Late presentation, lack of pediatric facilities and trained paediatric surgeons influence the outcome of these patients. This study reports a 5-year of experience in the management of ARM at the Orotta Referral Hospital in Asmara (Eritrea) and proposes some modified surgical approaches to minimize the risk of complications and the length of hospital stay. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the records of 38 patients with ARM observed between September 2006 and April 2011. Since 2009 a modification of original posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) was introduced, consisting in a long rectal stump (3 cms) closed and left at the perineal level, to be trimmed after two weeks. This avoided mucous spillage on the wound and prevented contamination. Post-operative course and outcome were evalued in the two group of patients divided according the type of surgical technique (Group A: Standard PSARP; Group B: Modified PSARP). Results: There were 21 boys and 17 girls aged 4 days to 9 years (median age 182 days). Of the 38 patients, 2 infants died before surgery and 3 refused preliminary colostomy. Previously confectioned colostomies often required revision or redoing due to severe prolapse or malposition. When possible, primary sigmoid colostomy was performed. There were 15 patients in Group A and 18 in Group B. Wound infection or disruption were recorded in 7 cases (46%) in Group A and in 2 (11%) in Group B. Late complications were related to anal stenosis, which required long term dilatations. Three cases needed a PSARP redo (2 in Group A, 1 Group B). Conclusions: We believe that our simple modification of original PSARP technique could be of help lowering post-operative complications rate and reducing hospital stay. Family compliance is mandatory for long-term surgical success. A relevant time must be spent in training to stoma care and post-operative anal dilatation.

French poetry
Abstract

Philippe Molle présente dans ces Mémoires d'avant tombe la suite finale de ses Mémoires d'outre mers parues en 2006 chez L'Harmattan, autobiographie dans laquelle il racontait les douze phases de sa vie, aventures qui se lisent comme un roman.Dans ce recueil, il a rassemblé 42 des poèmes qu'il a écrits depuis 2003, dont sept sont illustrés par ses dessins. Chaque poème relate une situation qu'il a imaginée ou vécue réellement, les émotions qu'il a ressenties et parfois ses réactions.Les quatre derniers contiennent une note humoristique destinée à atténuer la nostalgie que les précédents pourront avoir provoquée.Il espère que le lecteur les appréciera et conseille de ne lire qu'un poème par jour, afin de mieux l'assimiler.

Philippe Mollé and Philippe Mollé

Abstract

La scène culinaire montréalaise est en pleine ébullition et attire plus que jamais les épicuriens, gastronomes et foodies du monde entier. Philippe Mollé, expert bien connu du milieu culinaire montréalais, chroniqueur gastronomique au Devoir et à Radio-Canada, lance l'édition 2015 de son guide acclamé, Le Montréal Gourmand de Philippe Mollé. Il nous fait profiter une fois de plus de son expérience et de son goût aiguisé et vous invite pourun tour d'horizon de ce que le Grand Montréal a de meilleur à offrir aux gourmets et aux gourmands à travers 140 restaurants, 80 adresses gourmandes, qu'il s'agisse d'irrésistibles pâtisseries et boulangeries, de décadentes chocolateries, ou de boucheries et traiteurs qui sortent des sentiers battus, et bien plus encore! En prime, l'auteur dresse la liste de ses agréables surprises de l'année… et de ses plus grandes déceptions, ainsi que des plus belles terrasses de restos à Montréal, des meilleurs établissements où l'on peut apporter son vin, de ceux qui disposent des meilleures caves à vins et autres palmarès bien personnels. Et puisqu'on ne peut tout de même pas aller au restaurant tous les soirs, Philippe Mollé propose une dizaine de recettes de son cru avec sélection de vins, pour continuer à jouir des plaisirs de la table à la maison. Le Montréal gourmand de Philippe Mollé contient en outre plusieurs index pour repérer facilement ce que l'on cherche, ainsi qu'un cahier de plans de quartier qui permettent de localiser toutes les adresses décrites, et d'ainsi construire ses propres itinéraires gourmands. « Dans cet ouvrage, je vous fais découvrir la vie des artisans des métiers de bouche, ceux qui ont au fil de leurs passions construit à ce jour le Grand Montréal gourmand. Je vous souhaite autant de plaisir que j'ai pu avoir à partager avec mes amis ces repas qui deviennent pour moi à chacune des bouchées toujours plus enrichissants ». Philippe Mollé Quelques mots sur l'auteur Né en France, Philippe Mollé est devenu un globe-trotteur de l'alimentation.

Abstract

Objectives: It was the aim of this study to determine if prenatal diagnosis of congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) selects high-risk pregnancies and demands special perinatal attention. Methods: Medical records of 62 neonates with intrinsic CDO, admitted since 1981 in 2 institutions, were reviewed and divided into 2 groups: 39 cases, detected in utero by a prenatal ultrasonogram (group A), and 23 diagnosed at birth (group B). Prevalence of complete CDO, mean gestational age, mean birth weight, hydramnios, as well as maternal-foetal complications requiring emergency Caesarean section and associated with premature delivery were compared in the 2 groups. Results: A complete CDO was found in 77% of patients in group A versus 48% of patients in group B (p < 0.02). Differences in mean gestational age and mean birth weight in the 2 groups were non-significant. Prenatally diagnosed patients presented a higher prevalence of hydramnios, maternal-foetal complications and premature delivery. Conclusions: Prenatal diagnosis selects patients with complete CDO and hydramnios. These pregnancies present a high incidence of maternal-foetal complications, which may require an emergency Caesarean section, and are frequently associated with premature delivery. These aspects must be considered in prenatal counselling. In utero transfer to a tertiary centre for delivery and appropriate perinatal care should be recommended.

Abstract

Progress in perinatal and postoperative techniques has reduced the prognostic role of traditional risk factors in esophageal atresia (EA). This paper reports on 75 cases of esophageal anomalies observed between 1992 and 2002 and followed after surgery from a minimum of six months to a maximum of ten years (mean five years). The impact on survival of birth weight, week of delivery, associated anomalies and need of ventilatory support at birth are discussed. Twenty-four patients were born before 37 weeks of gestation, 18 weighed less than 2000 g.; major anomalies affected 11 neonates, 23 cases required mechanical ventilation at birth. Seventy-four patients were operated on with a 90.6% survival rate; no deaths were related to surgical treatment. Three cases required reoperation for postoperative complications. Birth weight and week of delivery did not seem to influence outcome; this is affected by severe associated cardiovascular anomalies and the need of ventilation at birth. Follow up at 24 months on 51 patients, revealed respiratory problems in 12 cases and severe gastro-esophageal reflux in 16. This affected quality of life of EA patients and required long term medical attention; improvement with growth was observed. No correlation between perinatal conditions and late sequelae could be demonstrated in our series.

10. Mémoires d'outre mers

Author

Philippe Molle and Philippe Molle

Abstract

Non seulement ce livre est le récit d'une vie particulièrement mouvementée, où l'auteur nous relate son expérience de l'exode et de la libération, de ses voyages, de ses études d'architecture à l'école des Beaux Arts ou encore de la guerre d'Algérie, où il fut officier parachutiste, mais c'est aussi un témoignage de toute une époque, que les plus anciens revivront avec nostalgie et que les plus jeunes découvriront avec plaisir. Ecrite comme si elle était racontée oralement, cette autobiographie se lit comme un roman. Ce pourrait d'ailleurs en être un.
