[Animal mediation support in disruptive disorder with emotional dysregulation (TDDE)].

Treating disruptive disorder with emotional dysregulation (DDED) is a challenge in terms of difficulties, objectives and results. In addition to a multi-disciplinary approach involving child psychiatrists, nurses, psychomotricists and educators, the use of animal mediation (dogs) appears relevant. Eight standardized group sessions with eight children aged 6 to 10, assessed by means of a semi-directive interview and several psychometric tools (MDI-C, Kidscreen, parent attachment inventory, child/family star, family/child star, alexithymia questionnaire) revealed improvements in listening skills, empathy, adaptability, socialization, anger and depression management, temper tantrum frequency, school complaints and depressive symptoms.

[Questioning disruptive disorder with emotional dysregulation].

Disruptive Emotional Dysregulation Disorder (DEDD) responds to an increase in diagnoses of clastic crises, reactive depression and bipolarity in children and adolescents. Emerging in the 1990s, EDD has become an issue for practitioners, parents and teachers alike, and has become an integral part of the landscape of paediatric and child psychiatric disorders. Its diagnostic complexity is accentuated by criteria that include persistent and disproportionate outbursts of anger, often confused with other pathologies, especially as diagnostic tools are few and far between.

Urinary tract infection after flexible ureterorenoscopy for urolithiasis in patients with positive treated preoperative urinalysis.

Prevalence of kidney stones is increasing worldwide, flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS) is the most common surgical treatment. Postoperative urinary tract infection (PUTI) is the primary complication. Some risk factors are classically associated with PUTI, especially preoperative positive urinalysis (POPU).

The Winchcombe meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer solar system.

Direct links between carbonaceous chondrites and their parent bodies in the solar system are rare. The Winchcombe meteorite is the most accurately recorded carbonaceous chondrite fall. Its pre-atmospheric orbit and cosmic-ray exposure age confirm that it arrived on Earth shortly after ejection from a primitive asteroid.

Pedicel anatomy and histology in tomato vary according to genotype and water-deficit environment, affecting fruit mass.

The growth and composition of fleshy fruits depend on resource acquisition and distribution in the plant. In tomato, the pedicel serves as the final connection between plant and fruit. However, very few quantitative data are available for the conducting tissues of the pedicel, nor is their genetic variability known.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on functional urology procedures in France: a prospective study.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on functional urology procedures in France.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted within 11 secondary and tertiary referral centers in France. Patients aged > 18 years who were diagnosed with a functional urology disease before the national lockdown (March 17th, 2020) and who required a surgery were included.

Determining the feasibility of establishing new multiple-use marine protected areas in Chile.

This paper evaluates the feasibility of establishing a multiple-use marine protected area. The methodology was applied to evaluate three proposed sites in Chile with diverse conservation needs, social stress and poverty levels, and different economic activities (small-scale fishing, heavy industry, and mining activities). We use two broad categories for the evaluation: socio-economic and political-institutional.

Reactive hemophagocytic syndrome in adult systemic disease: report of twenty-six cases and literature review.

Objective: To analyze specific clinical findings, underlying disorders, treatments, outcomes, and prognostic factors for reactive hemophagocytic syndrome (RHS) in systemic disease.

Methods: Data were collected using standardized forms as part of a French national survey. Adult cases without an underlying malignancy, diagnosed on bone marrow or lymph node biopsy, were included.

Treatment of adult systemic mastocytosis with interferon-alpha: results of a multicentre phase II trial on 20 patients.

Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is characterized by proliferation of mast cells in various organs, which may release a wide variety of mediators, thereby explaining the broad clinical spectrum of disease manifestations. The potentially life-threatening systemic symptoms and tumoral proliferation are poorly controlled despite the use of several cytotoxic chemotherapies and/or symptomatic treatments. Twenty consecutive adult SM patients with histologically confirmed bone marrow (BM) involvement received interferon-alpha subcutaneously (1-5 million units/m2/d, with progressive dose intensification over the first month of treatment) and were evaluated after 6 months of therapy.

Primary chronic interstitial nephritis in Crohn's disease.

Background & Aims: In Crohn's disease, cases of interstitial nephritis with renal failure have been reported in connection with the use of mesalamine.

Methods: We observed 4 patients with severe interstitial nephritis proven by examination of kidney biopsy specimens. Renal failure was discovered before or simultaneously with the diagnosis of Crohn's disease, and patients were not treated with mesalamine.
