Article Synopsis
- A scientific expert committee reanalyzed suspected clusters of transverse upper limb reduction defects (TULRD) in France from 2019-2021, addressing public health concerns despite no initial risk exposure findings.
- Methods included reviewing medical records, conducting spatiotemporal analyses for statistical significance, and examining environmental exposures through questionnaires and surveys.
- Results showed no significant clusters in one area, a small cluster in another without identifiable risk factors, and only two cases in a third area, emphasizing the need for a standardized approach in managing similar health concerns.
Objectives: In early January 2021 an outbreak of nosocomial cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Western France; RT-PCR tests were repeatedly negative on nasopharyngeal samples but positive on lower respiratory tract samples. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed a new variant, currently defining a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineage B.1.

- In December 2016, a series of serogroup B invasive meningococcal disease cases were reported among middle and high school students in Côtes-d'Armor, France, prompting a vaccination campaign using the Bexsero® vaccine.
- The campaign targeted approximately 8,884 individuals, with on-site vaccinations organized in schools and additional vaccinations provided by local general practitioners in the community between May and October 2017.
- Despite varying coverage rates (43% for one dose and 34% for two doses), higher vaccination rates were seen in schools compared to the community, and there were no reports of severe adverse effects, indicating the campaign's effectiveness.
Aim: We explored the associations between childhood exposure to screens, including televisions, computers, game consoles, tablets and smartphones and primary language disorders.
Methods: This multi-centre case-control study comprised 167 children aged 3.5-6.
Purpose: To determine the respective functions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the anterolateral structures (ALSs) in controlling the tibia's passive internal rotation (IR) with respect to the femur, under uniaxial rotation.
Methods: To test the function of the ACL and the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in IR, we designed a sequential transection study of the ACL and the anterolateral structures (including the ALL) in 24 cadaveric knees divided in 2 groups. Two sequences were conducted successively: group 1 (12 knees) in which the ACL was sectioned first followed by the ALS, and group 2 (12 knees) with reversed transections.
