The prevalence of resistant hypertension ranges between 5-30%. Patients with resistant hypertension are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. Radiofrequency renal denervation is a recent and promising technique that can be used in the setting of resistant hypertension. However, long-term safety and efficacy data are lacking and evidence to use this procedure outside the strict setting of resistant hypertension is missing. The aim of the article is to propose a common work-up for nephrologists, hypertensiologists, cardiologists and interventional radiologists in order to avoid inappropriate selection of patients and a possible misuse of this procedure.

Surgical indications in spinal trauma remain a controversial topic. In general, unstable cervical injuries such as displaced odontoid fractures, burst fractures or tear drop fractures require surgical intervention. Thoracolumbar compression injuries without posterior wall involvement or significant kyphosis can be treated conservatively. Surgery is indicated in fractures-dislocations and burst fractures with significant canal narrowing and/or major kyphosis. The role of emergency decompression as well as that of steroids remain uncertain since no study to date has convincingly proven their efficacy.

Mild to moderate forms of orbitopathy are common in auto-immune thyroid diseases, whereas severe forms are rare. Euthyroidism restoration, no smoking, and ocular local lubricants are necessary for all the patients. In case of mild orbitopathy, treatment by selenium is now indicated. Active forms of thyroid orbitopathy are better treated by IV steroids. Surgery is indicated in optic neuropathy resistant to steroids and in sequellar forms of the disease.

Venous symptoms and quality of life (QOL) of 78 patients (54 women, mean age 49,5±13,3 years) with primary superficial venous insufficiency (PSVI) were compared at one year after treatment with crossectomy and stripping (C/S, 56 patients) or endovenous laser ablation (EVLA, 22 patients) using the VEINES-QOL questionnaire. Both treatments significantly (p<0,001) improved the scores for venous symptoms (difference 10,6±9,9 and 9,9±8,2 score points for C/S and EVLA, respectively) and QOL (difference 10,3±8,7 and 8,4±6,6 score points for C/S and EVLA, respectively). No difference was found between treatments regarding symptoms or QOL improvement (p=0,30). We conclude that C/S and EVLA are equally effective in improving symptoms and QOL in PSVI.

Contexte¦Le syndrome d'apnées/hypopnées obstructives du sommeil (SAHOS) est une maladie qui¦touche 4% des hommes et 2% des femmes entre 30 à 60 ans. Les patients touchés par le¦SAHOS ont deux problèmes principaux: premièrement, ils ont davantage de risque de¦développer une maladie cardiovasculaire. Deuxièmement, ils ont une diminution de la qualité¦de vie se présentant principalement sous forme de somnolence diurne et une perte de¦vigilance. Le meilleur traitement à l'heure actuelle est le CPAP (continuous positive airway¦pressure) qui permet de normaliser la respiration nocturne et d'améliorer la qualité du¦sommeil. Les effets favorables du CPAP sur la qualité de vie, la vigilance et l'inflammation¦ont été suggérés par plusieurs études mais restent controversés.¦Objectifs¦Évaluer l'effet de 6 semaines de traitement par CPAP sur la qualité de vie, la vigilance, la¦pression artérielle et l'inflammation (HsCRP).¦Méthodes¦Vingt-neuf patients connus pour un SAHOS ont été inclus dans cette étude. Les critères¦d'exclusions comprenaient une grossesse chez la femme, la présence de facteurs de risque¦cardiovasculaires ou d'une autre pathologie sévère.¦Les patients inclus dans l'étude ont tous été investigués, avant de débuter le traitement par¦CPAP, par un PVT (psychomotor vigilance test), un questionnaire de qualité de vie (SF-36),¦une polysomnographie, un dosage de l'hsCRP et par 2 prises de pression artérielle (avant et¦après la polysomnographie). Après ces examens, le traitement par CPAP a été introduit pour¦six semaines à l'issue desquelles les mêmes examens ont été répétés.¦Résultats¦L'étude montre tout d'abord une amélioration significative des paramètres concernant la¦vigilance : 1/temps de réaction (P = 0.01) et les oublis (P = 0.04). Ensuite, tous les paramètres¦de la santé mentale évalués par le questionnaire SF-36 s'améliorent significativement ainsi¦que le score global de santé physique. L'hsCRP évaluant l'inflammation montre une tendance¦à la diminution (P = 0.07). Quant à la pression artérielle, la pression systolique du soir¦diminue de manière significative et la pression systolique du matin et les deux tensions¦artérielles moyennes calculées montrent une tendance à la diminution.¦Conclusion¦Cette étude montre un effet bénéfique du CPAP chez les patients atteints de SAHOS au niveau¦de la vigilance et de la qualité de vie. Les effets sur la pression artérielle et l'inflammation ne¦sont toutefois pas complètement établis et restent encore sujet à débat.

Dermatologic surgery has evolved enormously within the past few years especially for the treatment of varicose veins and telangiectasias. New minimally-invasive techniques have been developed: lasers, echo-sclerosis, surgery with tumescent anesthesia and endovascular treatment of saphenous veins. Most interventions can be performed with local anesthesia in the office setting. These new treatments are intended to decrease the risks of surgery, reduce medical costs and the necessity for hospitalization, and improve functional and esthetic results.

Congenital hemiparesis is one of the most frequent pediatric motor disorders. Upper limb rehabilitation of the hemiparetic child has considerably evolved during the last decade by the use of focal chemical denervation (intramuscular botulinum toxin) and the introduction of novel rehabilitation techniques such as constraint induced movement therapy or robotic reeducation.

While the development of early psychosis intervention programs have improved outcome of such disorders, primary prevention strategies are still out of reach. The elaboration, over the last 15 years, of scales and criteria to identify populations at high risk for psychosis is a real progress, but their low specificity is still a major obstacle to their use outside of research projects. For this reason, even if "ultra high risk", subjects present with real psychiatric disorders and sometimes significant decrease in functioning level, the fact that only a small proportion will eventually develop full blown psychosis will probably lead to the rejection of a "psychosis risk syndrom" from the future DSM-V classification.
