Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the treatment timing and choice for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse low-grade glioma (DLGG) after surgery, focusing on the impact of first-line temozolomide on their quality of life (QoL) and neuropsychological health.
  • A total of 26 out of 29 eligible patients participated in the study, showing high participation (89.7%) and adherence (95.7%) rates during longitudinal assessments over 12 months.
  • Results indicated that while QoL and neurocognitive outcomes remained stable or improved during the treatment period, the short-term effects of temozolomide on these measures appeared limited, warranting further long-term investigations with larger groups.

[Lu]Lu-DOTATATE has been approved for progressive and inoperable gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that overexpress somatostatin receptors. The absorbed doses by limiting organs and tumors can be quantified by serial postinfusion scintigraphy measurements of the γ-emissions from Lu. The objective of this work was to explore how postinfusion [Lu]Lu-DOTATATE dosimetry could influence clinical management by predicting treatment efficacy (tumor shrinkage and survival) and toxicity.

A 72-year-old right-handed female patient was operated on for left-sided acute subdural hematoma responsible for coma. Two weeks afterward, her neurological status had improved with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 14 and a paradoxical left-sided hemiparesis. The brain magnetic resonance imaging displayed a diffusion-restricting, hyper fluid-attenuated inversion recovery lesion of the right cerebral peduncle facing the tentorial notch, and the patient was diagnosed with Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon.

Pathophysiological response after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is described as a three-stage model involving temporal phenotypic modifications of both immune cells and fibroblasts: a primary inflammatory phase, followed by a reparative phase and a fibrous scar maturation phase. Purinergic receptors, particularly the P2Y11 receptor, have been reported to be involved in the regulation of inflammation after ischemia and could act for the resolution of inflammation after AMI. For the first time, we characterized the immuno-inflammatory and P2Y11 expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from AMI patients and analyzed the consequences of presenting these cells to cardiac fibroblasts in vitro.

Article Synopsis
  • Extracellular histones released during cell death contribute to inflammation and cell death, especially in sepsis, highlighting their harmful effects.
  • Clusterin (CLU) is an extracellular protein that may counteract the adverse effects of histones by binding to them and neutralizing their harmful properties.
  • In sepsis patients, lower CLU levels correlate with increased mortality, and studies show that CLU supplementation can enhance survival rates in mouse models of sepsis.

Macrophages are the immune cells that accumulate the most in the majority of established tumors and this accumulation is associated with a poor prognosis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) produce inflammatory cytokines and growth factors that promote tumor expansion and metastasis. TAMs have recently emerged as targets of choice to restore an efficient antitumor response and to limit tumor growth.

Emerging research suggests that the prevalence of child and adolescent mental health problems has increased considerably during the COVID-19 crisis. However, there have been few longitudinal studies on children's mental health issues according to their social determinants in this context, especially in Europe. Our aim was to investigate the association between family socioeconomic status (SES) and children' mental health during the period of school closure due to COVID-19.

Article Synopsis
  • Preterm children are more susceptible to mental health issues than full-term peers, and the COVID-19 pandemic seemingly impacted children's mental health overall.
  • The study utilized data from two French birth cohorts to analyze emotional and ADHD symptoms during school closures, with 4164 full-term and 1119 preterm children participating.
  • While extremely and very preterm children showed higher abnormal ADHD and emotional symptoms compared to full-term children, these associations weren't significant when accounting for previous symptoms assessed at age 5.

Article Synopsis
  • The article proposes a new method to analyze a city's supply system, focusing on its resilience by viewing it as a network influenced by economic and social factors, supported by management sciences and geomatics.
  • This approach was tested in Montpellier, where primary data from various sellers and suppliers was collected, highlighting the benefits of both short and long supply chains.
  • The findings reveal that the combination of three spatialized markets enhances the resilience of Montpellier's supply system, although it also introduces some vulnerabilities, suggesting the need for more research in urban supply resilience and food system coexistence.

Higher risk for long-term cognitive and behavioral impairments is one of the hallmarks of extreme prematurity (EP) and pregnancy-associated fetal adverse conditions such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). While neurodevelopmental delay and abnormal brain function occur in the absence of overt brain lesions, these conditions have been recently associated with changes in microstructural brain development. Recent imaging studies indicate changes in brain connectivity, in particular involving the white matter fibers belonging to the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic loop.

Previous studies with children have demonstrated inhibition difficulties associated with prematurity, but the question of potentially catching up with a delay in inhibition processes before adolescence still remains. Moreover, preterm adolescents are more at risk than their term-born peers for presenting behavioral problems such as emotional difficulties and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In addition to examining response inhibition, this study addressed, for the first time, the impact of an emotional context on response inhibition abilities and its relation to behavioral problems in late school-aged preterm children.
