The paediatric reception unit for children at risk plays an active role in raising awareness and training caregivers in the region, to facilitate the identification and care of children who are victims of sexual violence within the family (incest), within the hospital where it is based, and through its close links with child protection agencies. The nursery nurse is an essential member of this team, with her in-depth knowledge of children and their development from 0 to 18 years of age.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to explore how different aspects of asbestos exposure relate to pleural plaques (PP) in retired workers in France.
  • A large screening program conducted from 2003 to 2016 involved 5,392 participants, with HRCT scans and detailed evaluations of their work history to gauge their asbestos exposure levels.
  • The findings revealed complex, non-linear relationships where the risk of PP increased with higher cumulative asbestos exposure and longer periods since first exposure, while the odds decreased with longer times since last exposure.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate an automated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven quantification of pleural plaques in a population of retired workers previously occupationally exposed to asbestos.

Methods: CT scans of former workers previously occupationally exposed to asbestos who participated in the multicenter APEXS (Asbestos PostExposure Survey) study were collected retrospectively between 2010 and 2017 during the second and the third rounds of the survey. A hundred and forty-one participants with pleural plaques identified by expert radiologists at the 2nd and the 3rd CT screenings were included.
