Purpose: Information and communication technologies are crucial for social and professional integration, but access to technology can be difficult for people with physical impairments. Text entry can be slow and tiring. We developed a free and open-source module called for use with AAC (augmentative/alternative communication) software in French language.

This fragmented system may lead to inefficiencies, particularly in the treatment of individuals with dual diagnoses. Despite the recognized challenges, there is limited understanding of the factors that influence whether patients with SUD are treated in SAC or GMHC.

- People in prison face higher risks of negative mental health outcomes and share common factors linked to delinquency and drug use, highlighting the need for better understanding of their health and drug use patterns in Europe.
- A multicenter mixed-method study will be conducted across five European countries (Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Lithuania, and Luxembourg), using surveys and interviews to gather data from current and recently released prisoners about their drug use and health issues.
- The research aims to assess drug use and care services available in prisons, focusing on the prison environment's impact on health and social reintegration, providing insights applicable to different prison contexts across Europe.
Article Synopsis
- * The research reviewed various training approaches, including self-directed learning and simulation-based training, focusing on both technical and non-technical skills among medical trainees and nurses.
- * Out of 26 studies analyzed, most utilized multiple training methods, with simulation-based training frequently employed; however, issues with skill transfer from simulation to real clinical environments and long-term retention of skills were noted.
Article Synopsis
- The study discusses the effective and selective synthesis of iminosugars, specifically 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-arabinitol (DAB) and lentiginosine, focusing on their seven stereoisomers.
- The starting material for these syntheses is 4-benzoyl-6-deoxy-6-iodoglycopyranosides, yielding between 38% to 68% for DAB and between 44% to 89% for lentiginosine.
- A key highlight of the process is a complex multistep reaction involving zinc-mediated reductive elimination, reductive amination, and intramolecular nucleophilic substitution, which allows for the
