Hypertrophic Osteopathy Associated with a Prostatic Adenocarcinoma in a Castrated Dog

A 6-year-old mixed-breed male Papillon dog, castrated at the age of 7 months, presented for work-up of a difficulty walking associated with constipation and urinary incontinence. Ultrasonography and radiography were consistent with a tumor of the prostate and lymph node metastases. An irregular osteoproliferation of the ventral edges of L5–L6–L7 suggested tumor invasion. Periosteal proliferative lesions of the pelvis, the femur, the humerus, the tibia and the calcaneus were consistent with hypertrophic osteopathy. Necropsy and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma with lymph node, pulmonary, liver and bone metastases, associated with hypertrophic osteopathy

ECOVIR : mise en place d’une cohorte en soins primaires, un exemple de coopération pluri-professionnelle ville-hôpital

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) need be better understood and more effectively treated, especially insofar as they are of pivotal importance in public health, particularly during a crisis such as the SARS-CoV2 pandemic. The prospective, multicentric cohort study of viral codetections in respiratory samples study known as ECOVIR was conducted in Normandy, France during two winters (2018-2019, 2019-2020). The objective of the project was to create a biobank of respiratory tract samples from patients consulting their general practitioner (GP) for ARI symptoms. ECOVIR involved 36 GP investigators (GPI), from 8 health care centers throughout Normandy. Six hundred and eighty-five patients with ARI symptoms were included; naso-pharyngeal samples were taken by the GPIs and subsequently analyzed in virology laboratories for the purposes of viral codetection. The median of inclusions was 16 patients for each of the 31 actively participating GPIs over the two winters (CI25-75% [4.75; 27]). By D7, 92% of the patients contacted had responded to our call for participation, enabling us to obtain clinical, environmental and socio-demographic data. Through this study, we created an original functional network, thereby establishing a viable link between research and primary care, which is generally underrepresented in research protocols, even though it constitutes the cornerstone of the French health care system, especially during this prolonged period of sanitary crisis.Comprendre et traiter les infections respiratoires aiguës (IRA) sont un enjeu majeur de santé publique, particulièrement en cette période de pandémie à SARS-CoV2. ECOVIR (Étude des co-détections virales dans les prélèvements respiratoires), est une étude prospective, multicentrique, en Normandie, sur deux saisons hivernales (2018–2019 et 2019–2020). L’objectif de ce projet était de créer une biothèque de prélèvements respiratoires à partir d’une cohorte de patients consultant leur médecin traitant pour des symptômes d’IRA, permettant d’étudier les co-détections virales. Trente-six médecins généralistes investigateurs (MGI), dans 8 maisons de santé normandes, ont participé à l’étude. Au total, 685 patients ont été inclus, présentant des symptômes d’IRA, et ont bénéficié d’un prélèvement nasopharyngé au cabinet médical par les MGI pour analyse virologique. Trente et un MGI/36 ont inclus des patients. La médiane d’inclusion était de 16 patients par MGI sur les 2 saisons (IC25–75 % [4,75 ; 27]). De plus, 92 % des patients ont répondu à l’appel à j7, recueillant des données cliniques, environnementales, et sociodémographiques. Nous avons donc créé un vrai réseau, original, permettant d’assurer un lien entre la recherche et les soins primaires, peu représentés dans les protocoles de recherche mais qui sont la pierre angulaire de notre système de santé en France, comme nous le constatons actuellement avec la crise sanitaire
