Article Synopsis
- The transition from pediatric to adult diabetes care for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a challenging phase that needs more understanding, focusing on the experiences and satisfaction of young adults in France.
- An online survey was conducted with 104 participants to gather insights about their transition experience, revealing that many faced significant diabetes management issues post-transition.
- Key factors for a successful transition included early interactions with adult care teams, allowing participants to choose their transition age, and maintaining good diabetes control before leaving pediatric care.
Background: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is associated with joint inflammation, pain and limited joint mobility, impacting the practice of physical activities. Adapted Physical Activities (APA) are an increasingly used method of rehabilitation, but additional studies are needed to define the nature of the most appropriate physical activity for patients with JIA. The "ATHLETIQUE" project aims to evaluate the impact of a program integrating APA sessions with use of a pedometer watch, on disease activity in patients with JIA.

The objective of this study was to monitor the daily PA of children aged 6-18 years with JIA using accelerometry based on disease activity and individual abilities, and to compare this with age recommendations.
Methods: Patients volunteering for the study wore an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days; data were evaluated using a wGT3X ActiGraph™.
Background: Follow-up of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) patients has demonstrated the impact of the disease on several organs in the long term.
Objective: As there is little information on the long-term outcome of JDM, we aimed to assess long-term outcomes in a series of JDM patients.
Methods: After selection of JDM patients, a consultation with a dermatologist and a rheumatologist was held for each patient.
Background: Castleman disease (CD) is a rare non-malignant lymphoproliferation of undetermined origin. Two major disease phenotypes can be distinguished: unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric CD (MCD). Diagnosis confirmation is based on histopathological findings in a lymph node.
