Viral and immune dynamics of genital human papillomavirus infections in young women with high temporal resolution.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections drive one in 20 new cancer cases, exerting a particularly high burden on women. Most anogenital HPV infections are cleared in less than two years, but the underlying mechanisms that favour persistence in around 10% of women remain largely unknown. Notwithstanding, it is precisely this information that is crucial for improving treatment, screening, and vaccination strategies.

A Risk Score to Identify Low Bone Mineral Density for Age in Young Patients with Anorexia Nervosa.

Objective: Developing a scoring assessment tools for the determination of low bone mass for age at lumbar spine and hip in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN).

Methods: The areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was determined with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In 331 women with AN and 121 controls, aged from 14.

Modification of bone architecture following sleeve gastrectomy: a 5-year follow-up.

Bariatric surgery induces a decrease in areal bone mineral density (aBMD), but the long-term effect on trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) has not been well assessed. The main aim of this 5-year longitudinal study was to investigate the changes following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in aBMD, bone turnover markers and trabecular and cortical vBMD. Forty-five patients with obesity were assessed before and 1, 2 and 5 years after SG.

Nissen sleeve gastrectomy: 5-year follow-up results.

Background: Nissen sleeve gastrectomy is a new bariatric procedure based on the combination of 2 well-known surgical techniques (vertical sleeve gastrectomy and Nissen fundoplication). It was conceived as a means to prevent the major drawback of the sleeve gastrectomy (SG), the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), while preserving the advantages of SG in terms of weight loss, and remission of obesity-related comorbidities.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to present the long-term (5 years) follow-up results on weight loss, evolution of GERD and other comorbidities, and the complication rate of the Nissen sleeve gastrectomy.

Pilot study protocol evaluating the impact of telerobotics interactions with autistic children during a Denver intervention on communication skills using single-case experimental design.

Introduction: For several years, studies have been conducted on the contribution of social robots as an intervention tool for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One of the early intervention models recommended by the French National Authority for Health is the Early Start Denver Model, an individualised, intensive programme based on play activities chosen by the child. While studies published in recent years suggest that robots provide benefits for autistic children in learning social interactions within a clinical setting, there is no scientific consensus on the widespread contribution and maintenance of their effects over time.
