Vaccines efficacy against infection with circulating feline calicivirus after one single injection: Comparison of Leucofeligen™ FeLV/RCP and Purevax™ RCPFeLV vaccines.

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a worldwide pathogen that affects the general health status of cats. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the FCV component of two multivalent commercial vaccines after one injection. The cats assigned to the vaccinated groups received one subcutaneous injection of either the Leucofeligen™ FeLV/RCP (Virbac, France) vaccine or the Purevax™ RCPFeLV (Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany) vaccine.

Assessment of arterial damage in vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: A retrospective multicentric cohort.

Background: Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare inherited connective tissue disorder due to pathogenic variants in leading to medium-size-artery (MSA) dissection, aneurysm, rupture. Aortic lesions are rarer and less investigated. The objective was to describe the distribution of MSA and aortic lesions and the type of COL3A1 variants in a multicentric cohort of 330 adult vEDS patients.

Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis with Capsule or Tablet Formulations of Pirfenidone in the Real-Life French RaDiCo-ILD Cohort.

Introduction: Pirfenidone, an antifibrotic medication for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), is now available in France in two formulations: tablets since April 2018, and the initial capsules form. We conducted a cohort study to describe tolerance and acceptability of capsules and/or tablets of pirfenidone in patients with IPF.

Methods: This study was nested within the French, non-randomized, multicenter RaDiCo-ILD (Rare Disease Cohort-Interstitial Lung Diseases).

RaDiCo, the French national research program on rare disease cohorts.

Background: Rare diseases (RDs) affect nearly 3 million people in France and at least 26-30 million people in Europe. These diseases, which represent a major medical concern, are mainly of genetic origin, often chronic, progressive, degenerative, life threatening and disabling, accounting for more than one third of all deaths occurring during infancy. In this context, there are needs for coordinated information on RDs at national/international levels, based on high quality, interoperable and sharable data.

Impact of Gender on the Characteristics of Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Included in the RaDiCo-ILD Cohort.

Background: There is growing evidence of gender-specific phenotypic differences among patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which may affect patient outcomes.

Objectives: We present the characteristics of patients with IPF at inclusion in the French Rare Disease Cohort - Interstitial Lung Disease (RaDiCo-ILD) with the aim of characterizing gender-specific phenotypic differences.

Methods: Patients with IPF who were enrolled in the national, multicentre RaDiCo-ILD cohort were included.
