[Urological surgery : what's new in 2023].

Urology continues its development in minimally invasive surgery, and the year 2023 is marked by important innovations in the different approaches such as endoscopy, laparoscopy, and open surgery. The following innovations are instruments or medical devices which are still being evaluated. What they have in common is a questioning of our current practices, on the technical side but also for some of them on the ecological vision of our profession with the eternal debate of single use or reusable.

Vaccinating humanitarian workers against COVID-19.

Objective: To describe the United Nations' (UN's) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination programme and its efforts to vaccinate frontline humanitarian personnel stationed in locations where access to COVID-19 vaccine was limited or absent.

Methods: The vaccination programme was structured as a two-level operation: a global vaccine deployment support team and local vaccine deployment teams in each participating country, territory or administrative area. The central group, led by a global vaccine coordinator, oversaw medical, legal, financial, logistical, data, technological and communication aspects.

The relationship between maternal psychopathology and parental perceptions of their children's reactions in survivors of the 1998 US Embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya.

Background: The increase in terrorism worldwide has stimulated research on directly and indirectly exposed survivors, but there have been few investigations of the children of highly exposed survivors. This study examined the relationship between parental psychopathology and outcomes in their children who were exposed indirectly to a terrorist incident through their parents' exposures.

Methods: Eight to 10 months after the 1998 US Embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya, 280 survivors were interviewed about themselves and their 611 children using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for DSM-IV to perform a full diagnostic assessment of survivors' pre- and post-disaster psychiatric disorders.

Trauma, grief and depression in Nairobi children after the 1998 bombing of the American Embassy.

Despite the increasingly dangerous world where trauma and loss are common, relatively few studies have explored traumatic grief in children. The 1998 American Embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya, provided an unfortunate opportunity to examine this topic. This report describes findings in 156 children who knew someone killed in the incident, assessed 8 to 14 months after the explosion.

Comparison of post-disaster psychiatric disorders after terrorist bombings in Nairobi and Oklahoma City.

Background: African disaster-affected populations are poorly represented in disaster mental health literature.

Aims: To compare systematically assessed mental health in populations directly exposed to terrorist bombing attacks on two continents, North America and Africa.

Method: Structured diagnostic interviews compared citizens exposed to bombings of the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya (n=227) and the Oklahoma City Federal Building (n=182).
