Objectives: Sun-seeking vacationers are particularly vulnerable to melanoma. Appearance-based interventions (ABi) showing skin damage of ultraviolet exposure may be a promising prevention tool to improve skin protection. This study aimed to measure and compare the efficacy of an ABi and a health-based intervention (HBi) on French summer vacationers' behaviours and to identify differences between subpopulations.

- The study investigates how educational level influences sun protection behaviors among French vacationers on the Mediterranean coast, focusing on the role of cognitive and psychosocial factors.* -
- Findings indicate that higher educational attainment correlates with increased sun protection, with theoretical knowledge acting as a key mediator, especially for those with intermediate education.* -
- The research emphasizes the need for targeted sun safety interventions, particularly for individuals in lower socioeconomic positions, to enhance their understanding and practice of sun protection.*
Sun exposure has short- and long-term adverse effects on eyes, skin, and the immune system. The most serious effect, melanoma, is largely attributable to natural ultraviolet radiation. Its prevalence is steadily increasing in fair-skinned populations in most European countries.

- - The study explored how cognitive functions in children with epilepsy influence the severity of psychosocial problems, revealing that emotional and behavioral issues may vary based on the environment and the informant (parents vs. teachers).
- - Participants included 155 children aged 5-18, whose cognitive abilities were assessed alongside reports of emotional and behavioral problems from both parents and teachers, with teachers typically reporting more severe symptoms.
- - Findings suggest that differences in perspectives between informants highlight the need to consider these nuances in educational and therapeutic interventions for children with epilepsy.
This paper presents a follow-up of a child with Balint's syndrome over more than a decade. The patient experienced traumatic brain injury before age 12, resulting in bilateral occipito-parietal infarctions and a clinical presentation of Balint's syndrome. Neuropsychological assessments at three time points showed average verbal abilities alongside persistent difficulties in visual orientation, mirrored in the patient's daily life.
