Background: Since the Covid-19 pandemic, bronchiolitis outbreaks have been subject to disrupted seasonality, and a major impact on the healthcare system was observed in 2022-23.
Objective: The aim of this article is to describe the characteristics of the 2022-23 bronchiolitis epidemic in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, and its impact on the healthcare system.
Method: We described the indicators of dynamics, intensity, severity and impact provided by the bronchiolitis monitoring in place, and compared these with those from previous seasons.
Context: As is the case throughout France, vaccination coverage against human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region is too low to limit viral circulation and to have an impact on the incidence of virus-induced pathologies.
Intervention Methodology: The Nouvelle-Aquitaine Regional Health Agency (ARS) has decided to set up a large-scale vaccination action in the 7th-grade classes of all 643 Nouvelle-Aquitaine middle schools during the 2023-2024 school year. This public health intervention targeting 11-to-13-year-olds shall bring together national education, health Insurance, the regional center for pharmaco-vigilance, and private health professionals.
Background: -A study to assess lead exposure of traveller children aged from 9 months to 18 years old was conducted in Charente-France between 2017 and 2019.
Methods: A face-to-face questionnaire was administered to each participating family (N = 78). Blood samples were collected, and in case of lead poisoning, an environmental survey of soil, dust and water samples was also performed.
is a worldwide-distributed tree which contains toxins, among them hypoglycin A (HGA). This toxin is known to be responsible for poisoning in various species, including humans, equids, Père David's deer and two-humped camels. We hypothesized that any herbivore pasturing with in their vicinity may be at risk for HGA poisoning.

- The study focuses on detecting toxins from the plant Oenanthe crocata, which is difficult due to their instability and low detection rates in mass spectrometry.
- Analytical methods involving LC-DAD and LC-HRMS were used to identify the main toxins in biological samples from a horse that died after ingesting hemlock water dropwort.
- The research provides valuable data for recognizing the harmful plant and assisting in diagnosing poisoning cases related to it.
