Embracing Allied Approaches to Public Health: Luxembourg's Industrial Elites and the Rockefeller Mission against Tuberculosis in France after the First World War.

The Rockefeller Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France played a key role in public health reforms in post-World War I France. In May 1920, one of the commission's traveling units whose goal was to bring health education to the French departments toured the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. This article discusses this ten-day campaign as a trigger for comprehensive public health reforms in Luxembourg.

Marginal ulcers after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: analysis of the amount of daily and lifetime smoking on postoperative risk.

Background: A common postoperative complication after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the development of marginal ulcers (MUs) at the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Several risk factors, such as smoking, seem to have an impact on the development of MUs.

Objective: Very little is known about how much smoking increases the risk.

3D detection of periodic limb movements in sleep.

The standard polysomnographic method for detecting periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) includes measuring the electromyography (EMG) signals from electrodes at the left and right tibialis anterior muscles. This procedure has disadvantages as the cabling affects the patients quality of sleep and the electrodes tend to come off during the night, deteriorating data quality. We used contactless monitoring of body movements by a 3D time-of-flight camera mounted above the bed.
