Covid-19 management by farmers and policymakers in Burkina Faso, Colombia and France: Lessons for climate action.

Context: During crises, adaptation or recovery measures or plans at local or national scales may not necessarily address longer-term or structural problems such as climate change mitigation.

Objective: This article describes farmers and policymakers' responses to mitigate the adverse effects of Covid-19 on the agricultural sector. We then assess the responses' possible effects on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Intravenous immunoglobulin for treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and multifocal motor neuropathy in France: are daily practices in accordance with guidelines?

Background And Purpose: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) are rare autoimmune diseases. Guidelines were published in 2010 for their diagnosis and treatment. In France, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) are mainly used for the first-line treatment.

Natural Assurance Scheme: A level playing field framework for Green-Grey infrastructure development.

This paper proposes a conceptual framework to systematize the use of Nature-based solutions (NBS) by integrating their resilience potential into Natural Assurance Scheme (NAS), focusing on insurance value as corner stone for both awareness-raising and valuation. As such one of its core goal is to align research and pilot projects with infrastructure development constraints and priorities. Under NAS, the integrated contribution of natural infrastructure to Disaster Risk Reduction is valued in the context of an identified growing need for climate robust infrastructure.

A case of hypercalcemia Indications for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D prescription.

Circulating vitamin D is found in various forms: 25-hydroxyvitamin D or calcidiol, majority circulating form, is a "pro-hormon" which will be converted to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D or calcitriol, hormone corresponding to vitamin D active form. While determination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum levels reflects vitamin D status of patients, determination of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D serum level is only indicated in rare cases of suspected hypersensitivity vitamin D in children or of sarcoidosis in adults. There are too many confusion between these two vitamin forms, resulting in inappropriate prescription of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.

Verneuil's disease, innate immunity and vitamin D: a pilot study.

Background: Verneuil's disease is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the follicles in apocrine glands rich area of the skin (axillary, inguinal, anogenital) and is associated with a deficient skin innate immunity. It is characterized by the occurrence of nodules, abscesses, fistulas, scars. Recently, vitamin D has been shown to stimulate skin innate immunity.

[Hormonal evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas].

Imaging technological advances and widespread use of abdominal imaging have led to the identification of an increasing number of adrenal incidentalomas in the last decades. Causes of these adrenal masses are multiple, but the most common etiology is the non-functional adenoma. Although in most cases, these masses are benign and non-functional, clinicians have to perform biochemical testing for subclinical cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma or primary hyperaldosteronism.
