[SIBO, from myth to reality].

Digestive functional disorders are among the most frequent reasons for medical consultation and a significant source of medical wandering. Therapeutic management of these patients is difficult, particularly due to the absence of specific treatment linked to an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms. In a certain number of these patients, the symptoms are accompanied by a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). This entity, historically identified in specific post-surgical situations, seems finally very common and associated with very diverse pathologies. The diagnosis of SIBO is currently being made more accessible through the development of breathing tests. Therapeutic management, based mainly on antibiotic therapy and diet, remains to date largely empirical because it is based on few studies but the growing interest in SIBO should make it possible to identify effective treatments during robust clinical trials.

[Trends in the choice of internal medicine (and clinical immunology) at the end of the national ranking examination since 2010].

The 2017 reform of the third cycle of medical studies (R3C) was accompanied by modifications in the formats and number of specialty diplomas. The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of the choice of the internal medicine and clinical immunology specialty before and after 2017. We used the median ranking and its evolution, as well as incoming and outgoing remorse rights, as markers of attractiveness. Data on the number of position offered, rankings and affectation were collected from decrees published in the French "Journal Officiel" each year. A survey conducted by the "Amicale des Jeunes Internistes" investigated the reasons for the outgoing or incoming rights to remorse. Before 2017, internal medicine was accessible to 52% of students on average, with a median rank of 1118 [339-2640]. From 2017 onwards, the internal medicine specialty was accessible to an average of 76.6% of students, with a median rank of 2772 [1039-5155]. The balance of incoming and outgoing remorse rights was -4.7% before 2017 and varied between -4.1 and -12.4% from 2017. Since 2017, the median and cut-off ranks of students choosing internal medicine specialty have increased, and balance of incoming and outgoing remorse rights was increasingly negative. A reflection on the attractiveness of the internal medicine specialty is undertaken by the National College of Internal Medicine Teachers in order to make the richness of the specialty and its different modes of practice known to future residents.

[Autoinflammatory diseases associated with IL-18].

Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are conditions characterized by dysfunction of innate immunity, causing systemic inflammation and various clinical symptoms. The field of AIDs has expanded due to improved comprehension of pathophysiological mechanisms and advancements in genomics techniques. A new emerging category of AIDs is characterized by a significant increase in interleukin 18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesized in macrophages and activated by caspase 1 via various inflammasomes. IL-18 plays a role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity. IL-18 is involved in various functions, such as the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of immune cells, tissue infiltration of immune cells, polarization of immune responses, and production of other pro-inflammatory cytokines. This review analyzes the literature on IL-18 regarding its functions and its implications in the diagnosis and treatment of AIDs. IL-18-associated AIDs comprise Still's disease and diseases associated with mutations in NLRC4, XIAP, CDC42, and PSTPIP1, as well as IL-18BP deficiencies. With the exception of PSTPIP1-associated diseases, these conditions all carry a risk of macrophagic activation syndrome. Measuring IL-18 levels in serum can aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of these diseases. Therapies targeting IL-18 and its signaling pathways are currently under investigation.
