Care-seeking strategies of migrants during the transition from a specific primary healthcare facility for uncovered individuals to common ambulatory general practice: A French qualitative study.

Background: Migrants have complex health needs but face multiple barriers to accessing health care. In France, permanent healthcare access offices (PASSs), as specific primary health care facilities (SPHCs), provide care to people without health insurance coverage. Once these patients obtain health insurance, they are referred to common ambulatory general practice.

Screening of factors influencing catheter rotation of a vascular interventional surgical robot using design of experiment approach.

Over the past decades, Vascular Interventional Surgery Robots (VISR) have been developed to address the risks associated with X-rays used in minimally invasive vascular surgery procedures. Manipulation of over-the-wire catheters is necessary to perform complex surgery but requires high forces on the robot's end effector during rotational movements. The VISR under study mimics the physician's fingers by rolling the catheter between two planar surfaces to rotate it.

3D reconstruction of Wilms' tumor and kidneys in children: Variability, usefulness and constraints.

Introduction: Wilms' tumor (WT) is the most common type of malignant kidney tumor in children. Three-dimensional reconstructions can be performed pre-operatively to help surgeons in the planning phase.

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to determine the variability of WT segmentation and 3D reconstruction.

Trace element transfer from two contaminated soil series to Medicago sativa and one of its herbivores, Spodoptera exigua.

Alfalfa was cultivated in two potted soil series obtained from two sandy soils contaminated by Cu (SM) and metal(loids)/PAH (CD). Shoot production was monitored for 8 weeks. Then, larvae of Spodoptera exigua were reared on alfalfa of both soil series for eight days.
