[Impact of precariousness on breast cancer care in the Île-de-France region: Results of the DESSEIN study].

Introduction: Precariousness has been associated with an increase in breast cancer mortality, but the links between precariousness, stage at diagnosis and care pathways are little explored. The objective of the DESSEIN study was to assess the impact of precariousness on disease and care pathways.

Methods: Prospective observational study in Île-de-France comparing precarious and non-precarious patients consulting for breast cancer and followed for 1 year.

Suture versus open mesh repair for small umbilical hernia: Results of a propensity-matched cohort study.

Background: The objective was to compare the outcomes of open mesh repair versus suture repair for small (≤1 cm in diameter) umbilical hernia. The primary endpoint was the 30-day outcomes including pain, and secondary endpoints were the 2-year outcomes including recurrences and patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: This propensity-matched, multicenter study was carried out on data collected prospectively in the Hernia-Club database between 2011 and 2021.

Development of multivalent mRNA vaccine candidates for seasonal or pandemic influenza.

Recent approval of mRNA vaccines for emergency use against COVID-19 is likely to promote rapid development of mRNA-based vaccines targeting a wide range of infectious diseases. Compared to conventional approaches, this vaccine modality promises comparable potency while substantially accelerating the pace of development and deployment of vaccine doses. Already demonstrated successfully for single antigen vaccines such as for COVID-19, this technology could be optimized for complex multi-antigen vaccines.

Immunogenicity and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine MRT5500 in preclinical animal models.

Emergency use authorization of COVID vaccines has brought hope to mitigate pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, there remains a need for additional effective vaccines to meet the global demand and address the potential new viral variants. mRNA technologies offer an expeditious path alternative to traditional vaccine approaches.

A Prospective, Observational Study of Conversion From Immediate- to Prolonged-Release Tacrolimus in Renal Transplant Recipients in France: The OPALE Study.

BACKGROUND Potential benefits of once-daily, prolonged-release tacrolimus over the immediate-release formulation include improved adherence to immunosuppressives post transplantation. An observational study was performed to characterize real-world practice surrounding conversion from immediate- to prolonged-release tacrolimus in kidney transplant recipients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a prospective, observational study of renal transplant recipients converted from immediate- to prolonged-release tacrolimus capsules.
