Introduction: The return of foreign fighters's children whose parents joined the so called « islamic state » in the Iraq-Syrian area, had been a very controversial topic. Since 2017, a national procedure in France has been designed to coordinate their care, including a systematic pediatric medical assessment.

Methods: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence rate of diseases diagnosed at their arrival in France.

Acceptability and exploratory effects of an occupational therapy intervention to improve recovery and return to work of workers with mental health disorders in primary care: a mixed methods study protocol.

Background: People with common mental disorders (CMD) are prone to experience work disabilities, which can lead to sick leave. To support their recovery and return to work, evidence recommends providing a combination of primary care services including psychological and work rehabilitation interventions. Furthermore, interventions to coordinate return to work are required to ensure timely access to services and concerted action among stakeholders.

The effectiveness of an online short-format Recovery College model: a co-learning model to support mental health.

Background: Our societies are facing mental health challenges, which have been compounded by the Covid-19. This event led people to isolate themselves and to stop seeking the help they needed. In response to this situation, the Health and Recovery Learning Center, applying the Recovery College (RC) model, modified its training program to a shorter online format.

Spectrum of neuroradiological manifestations in primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: a comparative study of EBV-induced versus non-EBV-induced forms in 75 genetically confirmed pediatric cases.

Objectives: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare and life-threatening condition affecting young children. It is potentially triggered by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This study describes the neuroradiological features observed in 75 children with genetically confirmed primary HLH, comparing EBV-induced with non-EBV-induced HLH forms.

Learner Experience of an Online Co-Learning Model to Support Mental Health during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the mental health of the population such as increased levels of anxiety, psychological distress, isolation, etc. Access to mental health services has been limited due to the "overflow" of demands. The Recovery College (RC) model, an education-based approach, has addressed this challenge and provided online well-being and mental health courses to at-risk populations.

Assessing Changes in Anxiety, Empowerment, Stigma and Wellbeing in Participants Attending an Online-Based Recovery College in Quebec During the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Pre-Experimental Study.

The present study aims to evaluate the effect of an online Recovery College (RC) program implemented in Quebec (Canada) during the COVID-19 pandemic. From October 2020 to June 2021, 27 training groups were conducted with a total of 362 attendees. Outcome was evaluated using a single group repeated measure design, assessing participants prior the training (T0), after the training (T1) and at follow up (T2).

Older adults' subjective experiences of the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown in Italy: A qualitative study.

Objective: To evaluate the subjective experience of the COVID-19 outbreak in healthy older adults and develop a model of the older population's psychological adaptation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A qualitative grounded theory approach was taken to the study design and analysis, using semi-structured interviews to collect data from 19 community-active Italian older people by telephone during the first wave of COVID-19 (May 2020).

Results: The theory emerging from the study conceptualized the COVID-19 subjective experience in older people as an adjustment process to the disruption of habits, social contacts, and routines that prompted a meaning-making process to face this adverse experience.

Implementation of strengths model case management in seven mental health agencies in Canada: Direct-service practitioners' implementation experience.

Rationale: Implementation of strengths model case management is increasing internationally. However, few studies have focused on its implementation process, and none have specifically addressed the implementation experience of direct-service practitioners.

Objective: This paper presents factors that facilitate and impede the successful implementation of the strengths model, with a specific focus on practitioners who deliver the intervention directly to service recipients.

Association between fidelity to the strengths model of case management and client outcomes: A quasi-experimental study.

Objective: Evidence concerning strengths model of case management (SMCM) remains mixed. This study aimed to test the hypotheses that higher fidelity to SMCM is associated with improved quality of life (QoL), hope, community participation, community functioning, more days of competitive employment and of independent living, and fewer days of hospitalization.

Methods: SMCM was implemented over a 3-year period, at seven sites in the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, Québec, and Ontario.

The Working Alliance as a Mediator Between Fidelity to Strengths Model Case Management and Client Outcomes.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine how the client–case manager working alliance in strengths model case management (SMCM) mediates the relationship between fidelity to the SMCM intervention and clients’ quality of life, hope, and community functioning.

Methods: In total, 311 people with severe mental illness, served at seven community mental health agencies in Canada, participated in the study. They were new to SMCM and participated in five structured interviews every 4.

Case Report, Practices Survey and Literature Review of an Under-Recognized Pediatric Vascular Disorder: The BASCULE Syndrome.

Introduction: Bier anemic spots, cyanosis, and urticaria-like eruption (BASCULE) syndrome is an underreported pediatric vascular disorder from the group of acrosyndromes. In children, these include paroxysmal acrosyndromes (Raynaud's phenomenon and chilblain-like lesions), permanent acrosyndromes (acrocyanosis), and transient acrosyndromes, in which their pathogeneses are associated with virus infections, Epstein-Barr virus, and, more recently, SARS-CoV-2, respectively.

Methods: We reported a case of BASCULE syndrome associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and provided a narrative review of case reports describing the BASCULE syndrome in children.

Workplace Factors, Burnout Signs, and Clinical Mental Health Symptoms among Mental Health Workers in Lombardy and Quebec during the First Wave of COVID-19.

Several research contributions have depicted the impact of the pandemic environment on healthcare and social care personnel. Even though the high prevalence of burnout depression and anxiety in healthcare settings before COVID-19 has been well documented in the research, the recent increase in psychological distress and mental health issues in healthcare and mental health workers should be attributed to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the present study is to develop, evaluate, and compare a model of COVID-19 workplace stressors between two different territories, the Italian region of Lombardy and the Canadian province of Quebec.

Implementing the Strengths Model of Case Management: Assessing Practice Three Years After Initial Implementation.

While strengths approaches are important to recovery-oriented practice, implementation can be challenging. This study implemented the strengths model of case management (SMCM) in 11 CM teams and assessed the fidelity of delivery and staff perceptions of the model after 36 months using the SMCM fidelity scale and the Readiness Monitoring Tool. Paired sample t-tests assessed change in fidelity from baseline to 36 months.

Inherited human c-Rel deficiency disrupts myeloid and lymphoid immunity to multiple infectious agents.

We studied a child with severe viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases, who was homozygous for a loss-of-function mutation of REL, encoding c-Rel, which is selectively expressed in lymphoid and myeloid cells. The patient had low frequencies of NK, effector memory cells reexpressing CD45RA (Temra) CD8+ T cells, memory CD4+ T cells, including Th1 and Th1*, Tregs, and memory B cells, whereas the counts and proportions of other leukocyte subsets were normal. Functional deficits of myeloid cells included the abolition of IL-12 and IL-23 production by conventional DC1s (cDC1s) and monocytes, but not cDC2s.

[Contributions and Challenges of Using Techno-Pedagogy to Support the Adoption of Best Practices in Mental Health].

Context Despite the considerable resources devoted and the efforts of the many actors involved, the gap between the production of scientific knowledge and its use in practice remains a challenge. The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is a valuable tool for reducing this gap. To address this challenge, a demonstration project focusing on the use of technology for knowledge translation was implemented with 23 community support teams in 5 regions of Quebec (2016-2018).

Validation of the Patient Generated Index for people with severe mental illness.

Objective: The Patient Generated Index (PGI) is a personalized quality of life (QOL) measure. This secondary analysis examined its psychometric properties with people with severe mental illness.

Methods: Three hundred and eleven people with severe mental illness participated in structured interviews at baseline, 9 months, and 18 months.

The changing times of Europe's largest remaining commercially harvested population of eel Anguilla anguilla L.

This study quantifies the processes involved in regulating the European eel population of Lough Neagh, a lake in Northern Ireland. The relationship between glass eel input and silver eel output for the 1923-1997 cohorts was best described by a Beverton-Holt stock recruitment model. Glass eel input time series was not complete and was thus derived from the relationship between catches elsewhere in Europe and Lough Neagh, together with the addition of stocked glass eel.

Prior infection by seasonal coronaviruses, as assessed by serology, does not prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease in children, France, April to June 2020.

BackgroundChildren have a low rate of COVID-19 and secondary severe multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) but present a high prevalence of symptomatic seasonal coronavirus infections.AimWe tested if prior infections by seasonal coronaviruses (HCoV) NL63, HKU1, 229E or OC43 as assessed by serology, provide cross-protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 infection.MethodsWe set a cross-sectional observational multicentric study in pauci- or asymptomatic children hospitalised in Paris during the first wave for reasons other than COVID (hospitalised children (HOS), n = 739) plus children presenting with MIS (n = 36).

The CFIR Card Game: a new approach for working with implementation teams to identify challenges and strategies.

Background: The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the ERIC compilation of implementation strategies are key resources for identifying implementation barriers and strategies. However, their respective density and complexity make their application to implementation planning outside of academia challenging. We developed the CFIR Card Game as a way of working with multi-stakeholder implementation teams that were implementing mental health recovery into their services, to identify barriers and strategies to overcome them.
