Characteristics and Popularity of Videos of Abusive Head Trauma Prevention: Systematic Appraisal.

Background: Numerous strategies for preventing abusive head trauma (AHT) have been proposed, but controlled studies failed to demonstrate their effectiveness. Digital tools may improve the effectiveness of AHT prevention strategies by reaching a large proportion of the adult population.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the characteristics of videos of AHT prevention published on the internet, including their quality content, and to study their association with popularity.

Phase II Trial Assessing the Repeatability and Tumor Uptake of [Ga]Ga-HER2 Single-Domain Antibody PET/CT in Patients with Breast Carcinoma.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is used for decision-making in breast carcinoma treatment. The status is obtained through immunohistochemistry or in situ hybridization. These two methods have the disadvantage of necessitating tissue sampling, which is prone to error due to tumor heterogeneity or interobserver variability.

Chestnut Wood Tannins in Broiler Diets: Pharmacokinetics, Serum Levels during Rearing, and Intestinal Absorption Pattern of Gallic Acid.

Studies on the bioavailability, serum levels, and absorption of hydrolyzable tannin compounds are lacking. In this study, we performed a pharmacokinetic trial, measured the serum levels of compounds in broilers that were reared with different feed added or not with tannins, and tested the digestibility of tannins throughout the intestinal tract. Only gallic acid and 4--methyl gallic acid were found in the serum.

Decreasing hospitalizations through geriatric hotlines: a prospective French multicenter study of people aged 75 and above.

Background: The Emergency unit of the hospital (Department) (ED) is the fastest and most common way for most French general practitioners (GPs) to respond to the complexity of managing older adults patients with multiple chronic diseases. In 2013, French regional health authorities proposed to set up telephone hotlines to promote interactions between GP clinics and hospitals. The main objective of our study was to analyze whether the hotlines and solutions proposed by the responding geriatrician reduced the number of hospital admissions, and more specifically the number of emergency room admissions.

Uncovering the underlying factors of ERP changes in the cyberball paradigm: A systematic review investigating the impact of ostracism and paradigm characteristics.

The Cyberball is the most commonly employed paradigm for the investigation of the effects of social exclusion, also called ostracism. The analysis of event-related potentials (ERPs), short-term stimulus-induced fluctuations in the EEG signal, has been employed for the identification of time-sensitive neural responses to ostracism-related information. Changes in ERPs during the Cyberball are normally attributed to the effect of ostracism, but it has been argued that characteristics of the paradigm, not ostracism, are the driving force for these changes.

Proximity to Radiotherapy Center, Population, Average Income, and Health Insurance Status as Predictors of Cancer Mortality at the County Level in the United States.

Purpose: Sufficient radiotherapy (RT) capacity is essential to delivery of high-quality cancer care. However, despite sufficient capacity, universal access is not always possible in high-income countries because of factors beyond the commonly used parameter of machines per million people. This study assesses the barriers to RT in a high-income country and how these affect cancer mortality.

HPLC-DAD optimization of quantification of vescalagin, gallic and ellagic acid in chestnut tannins.

The quantification of hydrolysable polyphenols such as gallic, ellagic acid and vescalagin by HPLC-DAD is classically run after methanol extraction as a reference solvent. Water extraction is usually discarded because of a lower obtention of total polyphenol content compared to methanol extraction. In our study, methanol was compared to water extraction in both the total polyphenol content method and the HPLC-DAD analysis.

F-FDG PET/CT in Waldenström associated amyloidosis.

Amyloidoisis in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) mostly involves the heart, peripheral nerves and kidneys. Retroperitoneal amyloidosis is a rare finding. We describe a 62-year-old man with an incidental finding of a monoclonal gammopathy and elevated inflammatory parameters.

[Prospective multicentered study describing the health pathway of a short-stay geriatric population hospitalised through geriatric telephonic hotline].

Rationale: The ARS finance geriatric hotlines in order to improve the articulation between town medicine and the hospital. The objective of our study is to describe the health status and the care pathway of subjects aged over 75 years hospitalised in a geriatric short stay hospital via a geriatric hotline.

Materials And Methods: This prospective multicentre study included 1,451 subjects over 24 months.

The contribution of cacao consumption to the bioaccessible dietary cadmium exposure in the Belgian population.

Since 2019, EU limits apply to cadmium (Cd) concentrations in cacao-derived food products. The dietary risk assessment leading to that regulation used consumption surveys aggregated to a limited number of chocolate product categories and did not consider differences in Cd bioaccessibility. Here, the cacao-related dietary Cd exposure in the Belgian population was estimated with higher resolution and accounting for bioaccessibility.

Chestnut tannins in broiler diets: Affecting intestinal development in different feeding phases.

It is known that high doses of various tannins could impair broiler growth, and this seems to be linked to a lowered protein availability. However, effects on protein digestion under the influence of hydrolysable tannins were minimal in previous research and literature. Other possible proposed reasons to explain reduced growth are scarce.

Dual time point imaging in locally advanced head and neck cancer to assess residual nodal disease after chemoradiotherapy.

Background: FDG-PET/CT has a high negative predictive value to detect residual nodal disease in patients with locally advanced squamous cell head and neck cancer after completing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). However, the positive predictive value remains suboptimal due to inflammation after radiotherapy, generating unnecessary further investigations and possibly even surgery. We report the results of a preplanned secondary end point of the ECLYPS study regarding the potential advantages of dual time point FDG-PET/CT imaging (DTPI) in this setting.

Chestnut tannins in broiler diets: performance, nutrient digestibility, and meat quality.

In 2 broiler trials, the effects of chestnut tannins on performance and meat quality (trial 1), and digestion (trial 2) were evaluated. In both trials, Ross 308 broilers received one of 2 basal diets: one basal diet contained corn and soy as main feed ingredients, while the challenge basal diet contained wheat, palm oil, and rapeseed meal. The composition of the basal diets was chosen to assess the interaction between chestnut tannins and diet composition.

[The geriatric hotline improves practice, survey of general practitioners in the Saint-Etienne area].

Faced with an aging French population, the demand for unscheduled care is growing. In order to avoid referring elderly patients to emergency departments, which are unsuitable for them, the Regional Health Agencies have created telephone hot lines dedicated to geriatrics. They are exclusively accessible to general practitioners in order to obtain advice or a place in a geriatric hospital.

COVID-19 and Quarantine, a Catalyst for Ageism.

In February 2021, France had more than 76,000 deaths due to COVID-19 and older adults were heavily affected. Most measures taken to reduce the impact of COVID-19 (quarantine, visit ban in nursing home, etc.) significantly influenced the lives of older adults.

Domestic Activities Associated With a Decreased Risk of Cognitive Disorders: Results of the "Fréle" Cohort.

Previous cohorts studied the association of various types of physical activities with the incidence of cognitive disorders. The objective of this work was to analyze the association of leisure, domestic and professional physical activities with mild and moderate cognitive disorders in older people living in the community. We used retrospective data from the "FRéLE" (FRagilité: étude Longitudinale de ses Expressions) a longitudinal and observational study.

Surveillance of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Fifth Military Sector Health Center, Ngaoundéré, Cameroon: Observational Study.

Background: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of death worldwide. They were responsible for 40 million of the 57 million deaths recorded worldwide in 2016. In Cameroon, epidemiological studies have been devoted to NCDs and their risk factors.

Social marketing interventions to promote physical activity among 60 years and older: a systematic review of the literature.

Background: Falls are a significant source of morbidity in people aged 65 and over, affecting one in three people in this age group. The scientific evidence indicates that physical activity is the most effective method for preventing falls among seniors. Although public health professionals often use social marketing to design and plan successful interventions, its use to promote physical activity and prevent falls among older people remains low.
