Article Abstract
Introduction: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is the main cause of premature delivery, complicating 1-3% of all pregnancies. Conventional hospitalization (CH) is the most frequent mode of follow-up, but homecare (HC) seems to be an alternative.
Objectives: Study of the impact of the monitoring mode on the duration of the latency period and on the latency ratio after PPROM, and analysis of the risk factors modifying this ratio.
Methods: This was a bicentric retrospective cohort study here-abouts including patients who presented a PPROM between 24 and 36weeks of gestation from 2016 to 2018. Patients had a follow-up in HC at Lille University Hospital center (UHC) and in CH at Nantes UHC according to two different follow-up protocols. The latency ratio corresponded to the real latency period divided by the latency period to theoretical term.
Results: We included 154 patients: 102 in HC and 52 in CH. The mean latency period was significantly higher in HC: 36.9±21.8 days, corresponding to an 85.5±23.7% latency ratio versus 20.2±12 days, corresponding to an 66.9±29.8% latency ratio in CH (P<0.001). The latency ratio in CH was correlated with term at PPROM (P=0.001).
Conclusions: The duration of the latency period seems prolonged for PPROM followed by HC management versus CH in selected populations. This study suggests a benefit to HC in stable patients.

Background: Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for certain cancers and is increasing in the United States. We estimated the impact of alcohol consumption on cancer incidence trends in the United States from 2008-2019 across six alcohol-related cancers among men and women.
Methods: Average daily alcohol consumption (ADC) was calculated from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS, 1998-2009) and adjusted to per capita sales data to account for underreporting alcohol use.

Acute or chronic liver damage can result in Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), a potentially fatal neuropsychiatric condition that leads to cerebral and neurological alterations. Dapagliflozin (DAPA), an orally active Sodium/Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor with long duration of action. The study aim was to evaluate the potential protective impact of DAPA against HE caused by Thioacetamide (TAA) in rats.

Port site metastasis is an uncommon but clinically relevant complication, particularly associated with minimally invasive surgery for abdomino-pelvic malignancies, often indicating poor prognosis and necessitating prompt evaluation for potential surgical intervention. Proposed mechanisms include direct tumor implantation, aerosolization during pneumoperitoneum, surgical wound contamination, and immune alterations. In this report, we describe a case of a 48-year-old man who developed SSTR-expressing port site metastases, occurring 4 years and 4 months following laparoscopic resection of an ileal neuroendocrine tumor (NET).

This study adopted a three-dimensional "effect-dose-mechanism" evaluation system to screen the optimal regimen of Yuxuebi Tablets(YXB) combined with ibuprofen(IBU) for chronic musculoskeletal pain(CMP) intervention and elucidate its pharmacological mechanism, so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical application of the regimen. The experiments were conducted using 8-week-old ICR mice, which were randomly divided into sham operation(sham) group, model(CFA) group, IBU group, YXB group, stasis paralysis tablets combined with ibuprofen low-dose group(IBU-L-YXB), stasis paralysis combined with ibuprofen high-dose group(IBU-H-YXB), stasis paralysis tablets combined with ibuprofen high-dose with ibuprofen discontinuation on the 10th day of administration(IBU-10-YXB), and stasis paralysis tablets combined with ibuprofen high-dose with ibuprofen halving on the 10th day of administration(IBU-1/2-YXB) group. An animal model was established using the CFA plantar injection method.

Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is approved as an adjunctive therapeutic intervention in neurologic conditions, including epilepsy and primary headache disorders. Transauricular VNS (tVNS) is increasingly used as a method for noninvasively activating the vagus nerve. However, the central neurophysiologic effects of tVNS are not well understood.
