To enhance athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury, load quantification has allowed for a better understanding of the individual characteristics of the physical demands on soccer players during training or competition. In this regard, it appears crucial to summarize scientific evidence to provide useful information and future directions related to the speed and acceleration profiles of male soccer players. This review aims to evaluate the findings reflected in the available literature on both profiles in football, synthesizing and discussing data from scientific articles, while providing insights into quantification methods, employed thresholds, tracking systems, terminology, playing position, and microcycle day.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) significantly affects the physical function and quality of life of the young and middle-aged population. Pelvic tilt and trunk muscle endurance are physical features poorly studied in FAIS.
Aim: This study aimed to compare the anterior pelvic tilt and anterior, lateral, and posterior trunk muscles endurance between people with FAIS and healthy individuals, within FAIS sub types and between the symptomatic and asymptomatic hip in people with FAIS.
There are more than 170 known species of non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and some are responsible for serious diseases in people infected with them. One of these is Buruli ulcers, a neglected tropical disease endemic in more than 33 countries and caused by , which infects skin tissue. Treatment consists of a long-term regimen combining the use of oral rifampin with another anti-tuberculosis drug (e.

Methods: This study was a single-center retrospective cohort study of all the children followed-up in the Pediatric Neurology Department of Necker-Enfants malades Hospital in Paris, France, and treated with obinutuzumab, between November 1, 2019, and November 1, 2021.
Results: A total of eight children (three females, median age 4.
L-Methionine (Met) is an essential alpha-amino acid playing a key role in several metabolic pathways. Rare inherited metabolic diseases such as mutations affecting the MARS1 gene encoding methionine tRNA synthetase (MetRS) can cause severe lung and liver disease before the age of two years. Oral Met therapy has been shown to restore MetRS activity and improve clinical health in children.

Vaccination campaigns were the answer to such an infectious spread. This descriptive study presents the organizational process of the setting up of a Covid-19 vaccination center in a French University Hospital in January 2021, the issues encountered along the way and assessment of adaptability.

Methods: A single-center retrospective study of children treated with RTX for a neurological disease between May 31, 2010, and May 31, 2020, was performed.
Objective: The main purpose of this study was to carry out a global risk analysis (GRA) on the subcontracting circuit to determine and evaluate the risks linked to the future subcontracting process and to propose corrective actions for the most critical risks to ensure safety. This study must allow to conclude in an objective way to the feasibility or not of this project.
Methods: A GRA was performed, conducted by a multidisciplinary working group that met in 20 meetings, corresponding to about 50 h of work.
Ruxolitinib, used in children with steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host (GVH) disease, is currently commercially available only as a tablet adult dosage. For the paediatric population, an oral liquid would be an adapted dosage formulation. The aim of this study was to develop ruxolitinib compounded oral suspensions at 2 mg/mL by using commercial tablets in available aqueous vehicle (Inorpha) and to measure its stability at both room temperature and under refrigeration.

The use of a topical ERL skin treatment instead of the currently available ERL tablets may be appealing to treat skin disorders while reducing adverse systemic effects and exposure. A method to prepare 0.

Currently, ultrasound imaging (USI) is considered a feasible tool in the evaluation of structural and textural muscle differences due to aging. The main aim of this study was to evaluate sonographic changes in muscular structure and function after a 12-week multicomponent training program in pre-frailty individuals. A prospective, randomized, clinical trial was carried out.

Methods: Stability of pemetrexed diarginine injection concentrate was determined in the original glass vials with closed-system transfer device.
Objectives: In spondyloarthritis (SpA), improving patients' knowledge on their biologics is a key factor to enhance adherence. The information given to the patient has to ensure the acquisition of safety skills regarding their treatment. The aims of this trial were to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist's educational interview on knowledge and adherence to biologics in these patients.
