Scientometric analysis of the term 'microbiota' in research publications (1999-2017): a second youth of a century-old concept.

Great progress in microbiota research during last decades resulted in a growing corpus of publications mentioning the term 'microbiota'. Specifically, the human microbiota increasingly recognised nowadays as one of the most important health challenges is becoming an emerging research front. By examining over 28 000 microbiota-related papers from the Web of Science database, our study aims to characterise the evolution of publication patterns in this field between 1999 and 2017.

Decreased sensitivity to facial emotions in adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Whereas severe relationship dysfunction in BPD is well described in adolescence, little is known about the way these patients process facial expressions of emotion. Because few data are available regarding this issue, the present study compared the sensitivity to morphed facial emotional expressions of 22 BPD female adolescents versus 22 matched controls. Participants had to identify as rapidly as possible the various emotions displayed progressively and continuously on faces.

Prevalence, risk factors, and use of health care in depression: a survey in a large region of France between 1991 and 2005.

Objective: To compare the prevalence, risk factors, and use of care for depression between 2 periods, concerning changes in social factors and health care provision.

Method: We compared data from 2 surveys carried out in a large urbanized French region (Ile-de-France) 15 years apart (1991, n = 1192; 2005, n = 5308), using comparable methodology and tools.

Results: The overall prevalence of depression has slightly increased over this period.

Use of psychoactive substances and health care in response to anxiety and depressive disorders.

Objectives: The use of psychoactive substances in response to psychological distress is not well documented in the general population and has never been studied in combination with health care use. This study estimated the frequency of health care and substance use in response to anxiety or depressive disorders and determined factors associated with these behaviors.

Methods: From a large survey of adults from four French regions, the authors selected those with a 12-month probable anxiety or depressive disorder without a substance use disorder (N=4,071).

Paradoxical increase of positive answers to the Cut-down, Annoyed, Guilt, Eye-opener (CAGE) questionnaire during a period of decreasing alcohol consumption: results from two population-based surveys in Ile-de-France, 1991 and 2005.

Aims: To describe trends of responses to the Cut-down, Annoyed, Guilt, Eye-opener (CAGE) questionnaire during a period of declining alcohol consumption, in a country with no temperance history.

Design: Two random-sample surveys, conducted in 1991 and 2005, respectively.

Setting: The adult population of Ile-de-France.

Factors associated with use of psychotherapy.

Context: Psychotherapies are recommended in manuals of good practice. There is however little epidemiological data assessing access to this type of treatment, and in particular the combined role of the offer and socio-demographic characteristics. The present research aims to contribute data on the profiles of a sample of individuals who underwent psychotherapy in France, and on the respective impact of various factors such as mental health status, socio-demographic characteristics, life events and the care offer, focusing on a specific population for whom the mode of financial cover for this type of care is governed by a complementary health insurance (MGEN).

Utilization of mental health services and risk of 12-month problematic alcohol use.

Objective: To examine whether mental health service utilization modifies the association between lifetime anxiety or depressive disorders (ADD) and risk of 12-month problematic alcohol use.

Methods: Randomly selected members (n=6518) of a mutual health-insurance company were evaluated for lifetime ADD (DSM-IV), mental health service utilization for ADD, and risk of 12-month problematic alcohol use (DSM-IV and CAGE).

Results: Risk of 12-month problematic alcohol use was reduced when mental health services had been used for several ADD (OR=3.

Urinary flavonoids and phenolic acids as biomarkers of intake for polyphenol-rich foods.

Estimation of dietary intake of polyphenols is difficult, due to limited availability of food composition data and bias inherent to dietary assessment methods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the associations between the intake of polyphenol-rich foods and the urinary excretion of several phenolic compounds and therefore explore whether these phenolic compounds could be used as a biomarker of intake. Fifty-three participants of the SU.

Consumption of foods rich in flavonoids is related to a decreased cardiovascular risk in apparently healthy French women.

A high consumption of flavonoids may lower cardiovascular risk through their antioxidant capacity. This study evaluated the relation between consumption of foods rich in flavonoids and estimated cardiovascular risk. A cross-sectional analysis was performed in 1286 women and 1005 men of the SU.
