Abstract
1. The objective of this study was to evaluate performance of a commercial loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method as an alternative method for the detection of Campylobacter spp. in primary production samples, poultry rinses and raw poultry products, as compared to the US Department of Agriculture Food Inspection Service Microbiology Laboratory Guide Book PCR reference method, MLG 41A.2. The Campylobacter spp. LAMP was used in conjunction with a ready-to-use enrichment broth that does not require microaerophilic incubation. After enrichment, boot swabs from poultry farms, carcase rinses and raw poultry products were tested by the LAMP method and the MLG 41A PCR method.3. The ready-to-use enrichment broth enabled the growth of Campylobacter spp. within 22 to 28 hours under aerobic incubation conditions. The LAMP method enabled Campylobacter detection in the enriched samples of various poultry matrices and had equivalent sensitivity and specificity to the MLG 41A PCR method.4. No significant difference (95% confidence interval) was found between the alternative and the MLG 41A PCR method, as determined by probability of detection analysis, except for neutralising buffered peptone water post-chill rinsates. For the post-chill neutralising buffered peptone water rinsates, the LAMP method had significantly higher confirmed portions.

Abstract
Attributing foodborne illnesses to food sources is essential to conceive, prioritize, and assess the impact of public health policy measures. The Bayesian microbial subtyping attribution model by Hald et al. is one of the most advanced approaches to attribute sporadic cases; it namely allows taking into account the level of exposure to the sources and the differences between bacterial types and between sources. This step forward requires introducing type and source-dependent parameters, and generates overparameterization, which was addressed in Hald's paper by setting some parameters to constant values. We question the impact of the choices made for the parameterization (parameters set and values used) on model robustness and propose an alternative parameterization for the Hald model. We illustrate this analysis with the 2005 French data set of non-typhi Salmonella. Mullner's modified Hald model and a simple deterministic model were used to compare the results and assess the accuracy of the estimates. Setting the parameters for bacterial types specific to a unique source instead of the most frequent one and using data-based values instead of arbitrary values enhanced the convergence and adequacy of the estimates and led to attribution estimates consistent with the other models' results. The type and source parameters estimates were also coherent with Mullner's model estimates. The model appeared to be highly sensitive to parameterization. The proposed solution based on specific types and data-based values improved the robustness of estimates and enabled the use of this highly valuable tool successfully with the French data set.

Abstract
Salmonella are the most common bacterial cause of foodborne infections in France and ubiquitous pathogens present in many animal productions. Assessing the relative contribution of the different food-animal sources to the burden of human cases is a key step towards the conception, prioritization and assessment of efficient control policy measures. For this purpose, we considered a Bayesian microbial subtyping attribution approach based on a previous published model (Hald et al., 2004). It requires quality integrated data on human cases and on the contamination of their food sources, per serotype and microbial subtype, which were retrieved from the French integrated surveillance system for Salmonella. The quality of the data available for such an approach is an issue for many countries in which the surveillance system has not been designed for this purpose. In France, the sources are monitored simultaneously by an active, regulation-based surveillance system that produces representative prevalence data (as ideally required for the approach) and a passive system relying on voluntary laboratories that produces data not meeting the standards set by Hald et al. (2004) but covering a broader range of sources. These data allowed us to study the impact of data quality on the attribution results, globally and focusing on specific features of the data (number of sources and contamination indicator). The microbial subtyping attribution model was run using an adapted parameterization previously proposed (David et al., 2012). A total of 9076 domestic sporadic cases were included in the analyses as well as 9 sources among which 5 were common to the active and the passive datasets. The greatest impact on the attribution results was observed for the number of sources. Thus, especially in the absence of data on imported products, the attribution estimates presented here should be considered with caution. The results were comparable for both types of surveillance, leading to the conclusion that passive data constitute a potential cost-effective complement to active data collection, especially interesting because the former encompass a greater number of sources. The model appeared robust to the type of surveillance, and provided that some methodological aspects of the model can be enhanced, it could also serve as a risk-based guidance tool for active surveillance systems.

Abstract
The present paper describes fundamentals, advantages and limitations of the Box-Behnken design (BBD) for the optimization of analytical methods. It establishes also a comparison between this design and composite central, three-level full factorial and Doehlert designs. A detailed study on factors and responses involved during the optimization of analytical systems is also presented. Functions developed for calculation of multiple responses are discussed, including the desirability function, which was proposed by Derringer and Suich in 1980. Concept and evaluation of robustness of analytical methods are also discussed. Finally, descriptions of applications of this technique for optimization of analytical methods are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the doping substances used in sport and their toxicity. METHODS Retrospective analysis from January 1992 to December 2000 of the cases of use of doping substances in sport reported by telephone to the anti-poison center in Marseilles. RESULTS Fifty-one cases were reported concerning 48 men and 3 women with a mean age of 30, ranging from 10 to 55 years. Sixty-three percent of cases were reported over the last four years. The sport practiced was bodybuilding, except in 2 cases (cycling in one case and running in the other). The products used were mainly anabolizing hormones (15 times), clenbuterol (14 times) and creatine (7 times). A third of cases concerned associations of substances and 19 cases presented with symptomatology. CONCLUSION The diversity in nature and status of the substances mentioned and their association requires enhanced vigilance with regard to the use of drugs in sport. The recent measures voted within the framework of the anti-doping law dated 23/3/99 are aimed at increasing surveillance with the development of anti-doping antennae.

Abstract
To evaluate the frequency and severity of accidental poisoning in children by narcotics or buprenorphine, a retrospective study was carried out: 75 cases were collected by the Marseille Poison Centre between 1993 and 1999. Most of the patients were between 1 and 3 years old and the drugs involved were cannabis and, more recently, Subutex (buprenorphine). These two drugs were responsible for the most severe cases of poisoning, most of which occurred at home.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess early clinical and biological prognosis factors in viper envenomings, and assess efficacy of Viperfav immunotherapy. Viperfav contains purified F(ab')2 fragments of equine antibodies. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective case review study of viper envenomings collected by two poison centers in France, treated or not treated by Viperfav, was conducted. Two hundred seven cases of viper bites including 119 moderate or severe envenomings (Grade II and III, recorded in adults and children and collected from 1992 to 1997 were included. Before treatment, clinical gradation and early biological severity criteria were collected. After treatment, or grade II and III envenomings, the two treatment groups were compared concerning severity and frequency of complications and sequelae, duration of hospitalization in intensive care unit (ICU) and duration of total hospital stay. RESULTS Before treatment, both groups were not significantly different. In the Viperfav treatment group, there was a significantly lower incidence of complications (4% vs. 21%, p = 0.02) and sequelae (0% vs 14%, p = 0.006). ICU stay greater than 3 days occurred in 28% of patients in the symptomatic treatment group and no case was recorded in the Viperfav group (p = 0.0002). Total hospital stay was reduced significantly in the Viperfav group versus symptomatic treatment group (3.3 vs. 8.7 days, p = 0.000002). CONCLUSIONS Viperfav immunotherapy was safe and effective for rapidly counteracting venom toxicity and improved markedly the prognosis of viper envenomations. The studied clinical and biological prognosis factors are valuable tools for predicting moderate or severe envenomings and are helpful for early prescription of Viperfav antivenom.

Abstract
Méthamidophos is an organophosphorus insecticide which delayed neurotoxicity is more frequent than with other organophosphates. Authors present a case report concerning a collective poisoning after cutaneous contact: two farm labourers presented moderate cholinergic signs quickly followed by proximal neurological signs (retrobulbar ocular neuritis for one patient, thight paresthesias for the second one). These signs decreased meanwhile new neurological symptoms appeared: sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy in both patients, with a clinical aspect of OrganoPhosphorus Induced Delayed Neuropathy (OPIDN). This unusual chronology and the disappearence of all signs at the 18th month, lead the authors to diagnose a collective methamidophos poisoning in three phases: first, anticholinesterasic acute syndrome; second, an intermediate syndrome and third an OPIDN.

Abstract
In southern France, some Amanita species are usually eaten like Amanita ovoidea (Quélet, 1872) which is a common white mushroom. In same areas, a similar and less common fungus can be encountered: Amanita proxima (Dumee, 1916). The first published cases of Amanita proxima poisonings with acute renal failure have been reported in 1994 by a medical team from Montpellier. A second article was published in 1995 by physicians from Marseille. In order to evaluate the importance of the confusion between the 2 species, we looked after these mushroom poisonings collected by the Poison Centre of Marseille. We found 31 cases concerning 53 patients. We observed the first intoxication in 1968. Poisonings took place in the south of Provence. Ingestions are in 26 cases (83% of the 31 cases) due to the confusion with Amanita ovoidea. The average delay between the meal and the first signs was 13 hours and 12 minutes. All patients had gastro-intestinal symptoms, and for 14 of them, oliguria or anuria appeared in a few days after ingestion. 11 patients needed temporary dialysis, and for 10 of them, moderate hepatic cytolysis was observed. The severity of symptoms seems to be dose-dependent: we collected cases in the same family with no signs after just tasting the meal, digestive symptoms only when patients at more, and renal failure for the hungry people.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity were treated in 157 patients by surgery as first-line (104) or salvage (53) treatment. Postoperative irradiation delivered either for locally advanced tumors (stade III-IV) or for unfavorable histological data (nodal or surgical margins involvement). The retrospective study with a mean time of follow-up of 2.5 years shows a loco-regional control rate of 75% statistically influenced by histological nodal status (p < 0.01). Cumulative and cause specific survival rates at 5 years are 41.1% and 57.2% respectively. T stage was found to be a prognostic factor of survival (p < 0.01) as bone involvement (p < 0.05). Surgical margins are influent on local control and survival only in absence of radiation.

Abstract
A phase I-II study was initiated in February 1991 of concomitant radiation and cisplatin (CDDP) in the treatment of unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (n = 12). The first patient was treated palliatively for a cervical recurrence of laryngeal cancer. The 11 other patients had locally advanced (stage IV) previously untreated carcinomas of the oropharynx (n = 9), hypopharynx (n = 1), or cervical node with unknown primary site (n = 1). Standard external radiation was carried out up to a total dose of 60 Gy/6 weeks (7 MeV electron beam) for the first patient and 72 Gy/8 weeks (Co60 beam) for the other 11 patients. CDDP was infused continuously during the entire radiation treatment, 5 days/week. The starting dose was 4 mg/m2/day and was escalated by increments of 1 mg/m2/day; dose-limiting toxicity was observed at 7 mg/m2/day. Neutropenia (grade 4, one patient; grade 3, three patients) and thrombocytopenia (grade 3, one patient; grade 2, one patient) were the limiting factors. Therefore, the recommended dose of CDDP is 6 mg/m2/day. All patients but one completed the scheduled radiation. For the entire group, mucositis was not more severe than that observed with radiotherapy alone. There was no nephro-, oto-, or neurotoxicity. A complete response was obtained in eight (66%) patients. Of these, four were free of disease 12-34 months after completion of treatment and one had a total glossectomy for a tongue necrosis. For the whole series, the mean overall survival was 16 months posttreatment. Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated the total cisplatin accumulation at the end of treatment to be 743-1551 ng/ml. Accumulation of ultrafilterable platin was noted in only one patient (137 ng/ml at the end of treatment).

Abstract
PURPOSE Between November 1988 and May 1992, 14 patients were enrolled in a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and results of hyperfractionated reirradiation for the treatment of head and neck recurrences or of second primary tumors developed in a previously irradiated volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients underwent a surgical resection for the treatment of their recurrence or second cancer. Reirradiation was proposed because of positive margins and/or lymph node metastasis with extra-capsular spread. The planned reirradiation dose was 60 Gy over 5 weeks, with two daily fractions of 1.2 Gy delivered 6-8 hours apart. RESULTS Of the 14 patients, 10 received the reirradiation scheduled dose (ie, 60 Gy). All patients experienced an acute mucositis that never led to disruption of the treatment. Ten patients died 3 to 41 months after reirradiation (mean: 14 months), three were disease-free 48 to 71 months after reirradiation and one was alive with local progressive disease 74 months after reirradiation. The overall local control rate within the reirradiated volume was 43%. The 24- and 36-month overall survival rates were 50 and 35%, respectively. Overall, 13 late complications were noted: four were grade 1, seven were grade 2, and two were grade 3. Three patients still alive in September 1993 and whose initial files were available were enrolled in an additional study to assess from dose-volume histograms the cumulative doses delivered by the two irradiations. CONCLUSION Despite poor local control, reirradiation using a hyperfractionation schedule with high dose level is feasible in terms of acute and late toxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the final results of a prospective randomized trial that aimed to evaluate efficacy and toxicity of concomitant postoperative radiotherapy and Cisplatin infusion in patients with Stage III or IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and histological evidence of extracapsular spread of tumor in lymph node metastase(s). METHODS AND MATERIALS Radiotherapy was delivered using a daily dose of 1.7 Gy for the first 54 Gy and 1.8 to 2 Gy until the completion of the treatment. Cisplatin 50 mg i.v. with forced hydratation was given or not every week (i.e., seven to nine cycles) concurrently with radiotherapy. A total of 44 patients were treated by irradiation only (RT group) and 39 by irradiation with chemotherapy (CM group). RESULTS The RT group displayed a higher rate of loco-regional failures as compared to CM group (41 vs. 23%; p = 0.08). The overall survival, the survival corrected for deaths by intercurrent disease, and the disease-free survival were better in CM group as compared to RT group with statistically significant differences. Survival without loco-regional treatment failure was better in the CM group, the difference being close to the level of significance (p = 0.05). Survival without distant metastases were comparable in the two therapeutic groups. Ten severe late complications were observed, four in the RT group (17%) and six in the CM group (22%). Cox univariate analysis confirmed the importance of the therapeutic modality in predicting the overall survival, the survival corrected for deaths by intercurrent disease, and the disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS The present final report of this phase III study confirms preliminary results. The concomitant use of 50 mg weekly Cisplatin infusion and postoperative radiation improved loco-regional control and survival. No significant increase of late radiation complications was observed in the CM group.

Abstract
By 1990, the Clin Midy (SANOFI) laboratory had modified the dose of Cantor tablets: the content of active drug (minaprine) increased (50 to 100 mg). Therefore, acute intoxication by minaprine can be serious, with generalized seizures, resisting the classic treatment. We tried to evaluate the possible consequences of this change of dose for the gravity of suicide attempts. 1091 voluntary acute intoxications have been collected by the national French Poisons Centres data bank, 226 of them by the Poisons center of Marseilles. We have compared, by the chi 2 method, the frequencies of seizure and death, before and after 1990. Results are significant, confirming an increased gravity of these intoxications since the modification of dosage. Then, the laboratory reduced the number of tablets per box. We don't know if this measure will be efficient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of postoperative irradiation of the neck after lymph node dissection in terms of prevention of cervical node recurrence (NR) has not been demonstrated in patients with NO squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. METHODS This multicenter retrospective analysis comprises 826 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, all clinically NO. The primary tumor was treated by resection or brachytherapy. All patients underwent cervical dissection adapted to the site of the tumor. Fourty seven N+ patients with capsular rupture were excluded; 160 patients were N+ without capsular rupture (N+ CR-), and 619 were N-. Postoperative cervical irradiation was performed in 67 of 160 N+ CR- patients and in 49 of 619 N- patients. RESULTS NR developed in 78 patients, associated with local recurrence in 33 cases and isolated in 45 cases. Twenty-six of the 45 cases of isolated NR occurred in the 619 N- patients (4%), and 19 occurred in the 160 N+ CR- patients (12%, p = .001). The 26 NR observed in the N- patients occurred in nonirradiated patients. Among the 19 NR observed in the N+ CR- patients, the incidence of recurrence was not significantly different between irradiated patients (6 NR of 67.9%) and nonirradiated patients (13 NR of 93, 14%). NR rates also did not differ according to the number of lymph nodes invaded nor according to the level of the positive nodes; 14 of 45 isolated NR occurred in a nondissected suprahyoid region. Of 779 patients, 255 (33%) subsequently developed a metachronous cancer; 153 upper respiratory and digestive tract tumors, 37 lung tumors, 33 esophageal tumors, and 32 other tumors. Isolated cervical failure was responsible for 40 deaths. CONCLUSION The low NR rate in NO N+ CR- patients means that postoperative irradiation can be confined to N+ CR+ patients and, as a precautionary measure, to patients with more than 3 N+ CR-. Keeping irradiation in reserve allows the treatment of metachronous cancers, which are particularly frequent in these patients, in whom the 5-year survival rate is 54% in N+ CR- and 69% in N-.

Abstract
Between November 1988 and May 1992, 19 patients were enrolled in a pilot study to evaluate feasibility and results of a hyperfractionated reirradiation in the treatment of head and neck recurrences or second primary tumors developed in previously irradiated volume. Patients were divided in two groups according to the initial treatment before reirradiation: group 1 included 14 patients treated with radical surgery and reirradiated because histological evidence of positive margins and/or extra capsular spread of tumor in lymph node metastases; group 2 included five patients treated with three cycles of CDDP-5FU for unresectable tumors and reirradiated because they experienced a complete or good partial (> or = 80%) response after chemotherapy. The reirradiation planned dose was 60 Gy in 5 weeks, with two daily fractions of 1.2 Gy spaced by 6-8 h intervals. Reirradiation was delivered exclusively with photon beams in 17 cases and with a combination of photon and electron beams in two cases. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 45 months with a median of 17 months. Of the 19 patients, 13 received the reirradiation scheduled dose of 60 Gy. For the six remaining patients, the reirradiation doses ranged from 45.6 to 57.6 Gy. All patients experienced an acute mucositis which never led to interruption of treatment. Of the 14 patients of group 1, 10 died 3-41 months after reirradiation (mean: 14 months), three were disease-free 16-37 months after reirradiation and one patient was alive with local progressive disease 39 months after the reirradiation. The overall local control within reirradiated volume was 36% before and 43% after salvage surgery. For all group 1 patients, 12- and 24-month overall survival was 64 and 36%, respectively (mean: 21 months). All patients of group 2 presented a local failure within the reirradiated volume. Three of them died 12, 16 and 25 months after reirradiation, while two of them were alive with progressive disease 25 and 30 months after reirradiation, respectively. The mean survival was 22 months. Overall, 15 late complications were noted: five grade 1, eight grade 2 and two grade 3. There was no lethal complication. Four patients alive in September 1993, and whose initial technical files were available, were enrolled in an additional study to assess the cumulative doses delivered by the two irradiations. Despite disappointing loco-regional control rates, a reirradiation of 60 Gy using a hyperfractionated schedule is feasible in terms of acute and late toxicity.

Abstract
Palliative treatment of head and neck cancers needs an initial evaluation based upon clinical symptoms and tumoral behaviour. Local recurrences are the most frequent presentation of tumoral failures. The therapeutic management of these local recurrences requires a mixture of unspecific and specific oncologic procedures. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are frequently used in those circumstances in order to reduce the tumoral volume and to facilitate the effectiveness of unspecific treatments. Management of metastatic disease is often impaired by the moderate efficiency of chemotherapy while this treatment leads to marked side effects. Basically, the best therapeutic choice depends on the expected positive balance between the improvement of symptoms and the level of treatment-related side effects. However, daily clinical approach is a better way to care these patients than predefined rigid protocols.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Black widows, which belong to the genus Latrodectus, are particularly dangerous spiders. The clinical syndrome caused by their bite is known as latrodectism. In Provence and in Corsica, there is a locally-found species, Latrodectus mactans tredecimguttatus called "malmignate". A series of 30 cases were collected by the Marseille Poison centre between 1973 and 1993 inclusive. RESULTS The cases of poisoning involved patients bitten in the summer, mostly in Corsica (only 5 of the cases were from Provence) in rural areas. The symptoms were generally widespread pain and muscle contractions, sometimes associated with neurosomatic symptoms, such as increased sweating, or alterations in the blood pressure or body temperature. On the other hand, local signs remained benign or were absent, this sometimes causing confusion with the diagnosis: in 5 of the cases were surprisingly severe, the outcome of the poisoning was always favourable, using symptomatic treatment including infusions of calcium salts, which combat the effects of toxins (disturbance of presynaptic ion exchange).

Abstract
From 1977 to 1990, 94 evaluable patients were treated with iridium-192 implantation in the Centre Claudius Regaud for a Stage I (52 patients) or a Stage II (42 patients) squamous cell carcinoma of the mobile tongue and/or the floor of the mouth. Interstitial brachytherapy was associated with external irradiation in 68 patients (group 1; mean dose, 48 Gy for external irradiation, 26 Gy for brachytherapy) or was exclusive in 26 patients (group 2; mean dose, 66 Gy). The mean follow-up was 44 months. Eleven acute complications were noted during or immediately after the implant (1 lethal myocardial infarction, 6 hematomas of the tongue which spontaneously resolved, 3 local sepsis). The mean duration of the mucositis was 9 weeks (from 4 to 20 weeks). Ten patients (17%) experienced a late complication (8 in group 1, 2 in group 2): 3 bone necroses requiring hemimandibulectomy (1 post-operative death), 1 tongue necrosis treated by a transoral mucosal excision, 6 bone expositions which recovered after medical treatment. Local control rates for T1 and T2 tumors were 75% (39/52) and 51% (21/41), respectively. Sixteen patients (17%) presented a nodal relapse which was associated in 6 cases with a concomitant local relapse. The local control rate of T1 tumors was 64% (23/36) in group 1 versus 100% (16/16) in group 2 (p < 0.01). For T2 tumors, these figures were 45% (14/31) and 70% (7/10), respectively (p > 0.3). The influence of 13 parameters on the local control was studied in analysis. In the one model analysis, a cox regression tumor size was significantly predictive of actuarial local recurrence (p < 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In order to enhance radiation effects in the treatment of unresectable Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma, we initiated a phase I-II study in February 1991 with concomitant radiation and cisplatin in the treatment of resectable Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma. The first patient was treated in a palliative intend for a cervical recurrence (cutaneous metastatic lymphangitis) of laryngeal cancer. The seven other patients had a Stage IV M0, previously untreated, oropharyngeal carcinoma. Standard external radiation was carried out up to a total dose of 60 Gy/6 weeks (7 MeV electron beam) for the 1st patient and 72 Gy/8 weeks (Co60 beam) for the 7 other patients. Cisplatin was given during the entire radiation treatment, by continuous infusion, 5 days a week, at doses of 4 mg/m2/d for the 1st patient, 5 mg/m2/d for the two following patients and 6 mg/m2/d for the last five patients. One patient with a poor initial performance status (three in the WHO scale) stopped his treatment on the 6th week due to a grade 3 mucositis with deglutition pneumonia. He died 2 months later with progressive carcinoma. For one other patient, treatment was discontinued for 1 week after 48 Gy, due to a grade 3 mucositis. The other patients completed the planned protocol without any interruption. Mucositis (grade 3 in two cases, grade 2 in four cases), dermitis (grade 3 in two cases, grade 2 in four cases) and neutropenia (grade 2 in two cases) were the most frequent acute toxicity. Of the seven patients treated with a curative intend, six are free of disease at 6 to 28 months after completion of treatment. A pharmacokinetic study showed a total platinum accumulation. The mean value at the end of treatment reached 1157 ng/ml. Only one patient experienced an accumulation of the ultrafilterable platinum (137 ng/ml at the end of treatment).

Abstract
Retrospective analysis of detailed patient and tumour factors associated with a complete response to combination inductive chemotherapy with CDDP-5FU (96 or 120 hour continuous infusion) was performed using data from 147 patients with a previously untreated squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx or pharyngo-larynx following completion of two (29 patients) or three (118 patients) cycles. Adverse reactions to chemotherapy were documented for all 164 patients included in the study. Eight drug-related deaths occurred due to: acute myocardial infarction (five patients), peptic ulcer disease (two patients) and severe neutropenia with sepsis (one patient). Severe non-lethal complications included marrow depletion (14 patients), peptic ulcer (two patients), thrombophlebitis (seven patients), angina pectoris (two patients), stroke (one patient), pulmonary oedema (one patient) and convulsions (one patient). Six patients refused further treatment because of untoward side effects and tumoral progression was observed in three cases. Separate response rates for the primary site and nodes were determined and analysis of respective predictive factors of response was performed. Complete response was obtained in 31 per cent at the primary site versus 18 per cent for the nodes (p < 0.05). The combined (primary site + nodes) overall complete response rate was 22 per cent. Among 11 factors studied (age, sex, performance status, primary site, tumour differentiation, initial resectability, 5FU dosage per cycle, number of cycles, T, N and TN stages), only performance status, N stage, resectability and number of cycles were associated with a combined complete response. Multivariate analysis showed performance status, N stage, TN stage and resectability to be significant predictive factors of a combined complete response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A study of benzodiazepine impregnation of 234 drivers involved in road accidents showed a higher level of impregnation than that usually observed in the general population and a different frequency of this impregnation in the two populations. Although a significant correlation was found between responsibility of the driver and positivity of benzodiazepine assays, this result must be interpreted with caution and does not permit to attribute the responsibility for the accident to the presence of benzodiazepine in blood.

Abstract
Two hundred and nineteen patients admitted to the Centre Claudius Regaud over a 14-year period for a stage I cutaneous malignant melanoma were retrospectively evaluated for loco-regional recurrence rates, risk factors and survival rates following wide primary excision. Five and 8 year survival rates corrected for deaths owing to concurrent illness were 77% and 73%. The loco-regional control rate was 69% (151/219). Distant metastases occurred in 59% (40/68) of patients who had a loco-regional recurrence, versus 11% (16/151) of patients when loco-regional control was obtained (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis was used to ascertain which risk factors act independently as predictors of poor loco-regional control. Anatomical location of the primary ('head and neck-trunk-hands and feet' vs 'proximal limb') and thickness formed the best model in this respect among 11 prognostic factors studied. Since loco-regional recurrence may be associated with an increased risk of distant metastatic disease, we advocate the use of elective regional lymph node dissection in stage I patients at high risk of loco-regional recurrence in the hope that a portion of these patients may have increased survival owing to lack of development of widespread metastases.

Abstract
We analyzed the role of the Marseille pharmacovigilance center (working in collaboration with the local poison treatment center) in informing the general public on medicinal drugs. Over a 9-month period, the center received 115 requests from members of the public for information. 82.6% of callers were not members of the health professions and wanted information for themselves (61.7%, 67.6% women) or their children (26.08%). The questions mainly involved drug interactions (28.7%), side-effects (26%) and precautions for use in particular circumstances (20%). 178 proprietary drugs (47 of which had been bought over the counter) were mentioned. The main therapeutic classes were neuropsychiatric drugs (n = 41), cardiovascular drugs (n = 17) and analgesics (n = 16). A number of communication difficulties and problems of a deontological nature were encountered. Full information was provided in every case, together with advice on prevention to about half the callers.

Abstract
252 evaluable patients were treated in the Centre Claudius Regaud from January 1974 to December 1983 for stage Ib, IIa or proximal IIb carcinoma of the uterine cervix. This retrospective analysis compares results obtained either by radio-surgical combination therapy (113 patients = RS group) or by exclusive irradiation (139 patients = RT group). The comparison of the two groups in terms of patient age, obesity, associated vascular pathology and previous abdomino-pelvic surgery favored the RS group significantly. The distribution according to clinical stage also significantly favored the RS group. The proportion of patients with stage IIb disease was 12% in the RS group as opposed to 25% for the RT group. Despite unfavorable patient and tumor characteristics, therapeutic results in the RT group were similar to those of the RS group. Pelvic recurrences developed in 18/110 (16%) and 18/139 (13%) of the patients in the RS and RT groups, respectively. Distant metastases occurred in 5/92 (5%) patients in the RS group and 13/121 (11%) patients in the RT group, but the difference was not significant (p less than 0.1). Five year corrected actuarial disease-free survival was 82% in both groups. There were no major early complications in the RT group while four were found in the RS group, of which three were fatal. 2% of patients had major late complications in the RS group versus 6% in the RT group and none were lethal. 25% of the RT group patients had a moderate or mild complication versus 10% in the RS group but 2/3 of these complications recovered without sequellae.

Abstract
A prospective clinical trial was designed to evaluate efficacy, toxicity, and patient compliance of concomitant postoperative radiotherapy and Cisplatin infusion in patients with Stage III or IV S.C.C. of the head and neck and histological evidence of extra-capsular spread of tumor in lymph node metastase(s). Cisplatin 50 mg IV with forced hydration was given or not every week (i.e., 7 to 9 cycles) concurrently with radiotherapy. Between 1984 and 1988, 83 patients were randomized: 44 were treated by irradiation without chemotherapy (RT group) and 39 by the combined modality (CM group). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of patient characteristics, primary sites, tumor differentiation, T.N. stages, or postoperative prognostic factors. All patients completed the planned radiotherapy. There were seven severe toxicities (greater than grade 3) in the RT group. In the CM group, 30 severe toxicities occurred in 16/39 (41%) patients but none was life-threatening. Seven of 39 (18%) patients received less than two-thirds of the scheduled Cisplatin courses because of intolerance, mainly nausea and vomiting. Preliminary results show a better disease-free survival for the CM group (65% at 24 months) than for the RT group (41% at 24 months). This significant difference is largely due to increased loco-regional control in the CM group (79% vs 59%), the actuarial distant metastasis rates in patients controlled above the clavicles not being statistically different in the two groups.
