RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for surgical site infections (SSI) in orthopaedic surgery. The efficacy of decolonisation for S. aureus on reducing the risk of SSI is uncertain in this speciality. The objective was to evaluate the impact of a nasal screening strategy of S. aureus and targeted decolonisation on the risk of S. aureus SSI. METHODS: A retrospective pre-post and here-elsewhere study was conducted between January 2014 and June 2020 in 2 adult orthopaedic surgical sites (North and South) of a French university hospital. Decolonisation with Mupirocin and Chlorhexidine was conducted in S. aureus carriers starting February 2017 in the South site (intervention group). Scheduled surgical procedures for hip, knee arthroplasties, and osteosyntheses were included and monitored for one year. The rates of S. aureus SSI in the intervention group were compared to a historical control group (South site) and a North control group. The risk factors for S. aureus SSI were analysed by logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 5,348 surgical procedures was included, 100 SSI of which 30 monomicrobial S. aureus SSI were identified. The preoperative screening result was available for 60% (1,382/2,305) of the intervention group patients. Among these screenings, 25.3% (349/1,382) were positive for S. aureus and the efficacy of the decolonisation was 91.6% (98/107). The rate of S. aureus SSI in the intervention group (0.3%, 7/2,305) was not significantly different from the historical control group (0.5%, 9/1926) but differed significantly from the North control group (1.3%, 14/1,117). After adjustment, the risk factors of S. aureus SSI occurrence were the body mass index (ORaper unit, 1.05; 95%CI, 1.0-1.1), the Charlson comorbidity index (ORaper point, 1.34; 95%CI, 1.0-1.8) and operative time (ORaper minute, 1.01; 95%CI, 1.00-1.02). Having benefited from S. aureus screening/decolonisation was a protective factor (ORa, 0.24; 95%CI, 0.08-0.73). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the low number of SSI, nasal screening and targeted decolonisation of S. aureus were associated with a reduction in S. aureus SSI.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the effects of emotional arousal, emotional competence, emotion regulation (ER), and compassion on COVID-19 and flu vaccination intentions (VI) among the French population. DESIGN: Data were collected online from October to December 2020. Altogether, 451 participants (Mage = 35.8, SD = 16.4) were allocated to four groups. High positive (n = 104) or negative (n = 103) emotional arousal were induced into two groups using pictures and music, and compared against a control group (flu group; n = 116) and a reference group (COVID-19 group; n = 114). All groups completed questionnaires on emotional arousal, ER, emotional competence, compassion, and VI. RESULTS: The findings indicated a significant effect of group on VI, h2=.023, 95% CI [-.002, .09]. The Group*Gender interaction on emotional arousal was non-significant, ηp2=.015, 95%CI [.000, .041]. However, emotional arousal was observed to have a significant main effect on VI, ηp2=.09, 95% CI [.043, .238]. The ER type*Emotional arousal*Gender interaction on ER use was trend, ηp2 = .002, 95% CI [.000, .005]. The emotional competence*ER type interaction on ER use was significant, ηp2 = .028, 95% CI [.011, .049]. Only experiential avoidance mediated the relationship between emotional arousal and VI, p < .018, 95% CI [.015, .18]. CONCLUSION: Emotional arousal impacts VI. High emotional competence only reduces the use of dysfunctional ER strategies.
RESUMO
Simultaneous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the spinal cord and brain represents a powerful method for examining both ascending sensory and descending motor pathways in humans in vivo . However, its image acquisition protocols, and processing pipeline are less well established. This limitation is mainly due to technical difficulties related to spinal cord fMRI, and problems with the logistics stemming from a large field of view covering both brain and cervical cord. Here, we propose an acquisition protocol optimized for both anatomical and functional images, as well as an optimized integrated image processing pipeline, which consists of a novel approach for automatic modeling and mitigating the negative impact of spinal voxels with low temporal signal to noise ratio (tSNR). We validate our integrated pipeline, named FASB, using simultaneous fMRI data acquired during the performance of a motor task, as well as during resting-state conditions. We demonstrate that FASB outperforms the current spinal fMRI processing methods in three domains, including motion correction, registration to the spinal cord template, and improved detection power of the group-level analysis by removing the effects of participant-specific low tSNR voxels, typically observed at the disk level. Using FASB, we identify significant task-based activations in the expected sensorimotor network associated with a unilateral handgrip force production task across the entire central nervous system, including the contralateral sensorimotor cortex, thalamus, striatum, cerebellum, brainstem, as well as ipsilateral ventral horn at C5-C8 cervical levels. Additionally, our results show significant task-based functional connectivity between the key sensory and motor brain areas and the dorsal and ventral horns of the cervical cord. Overall, our proposed acquisition protocol and processing pipeline provide a robust method for characterizing the activation and functional connectivity of distinct cortical, subcortical, brainstem and spinal cord regions in humans.
