Vaccination coverage against three viral sexually transmitted diseases, among 18-to-30-year-olds seen between May 2023 and May 2024 in the Martinique University Hospital CeGIDD.

Objective And Methods: We retrospectively assessed protection against HBV (defined by HBs Ab > 10 UI/L), HAV (defined by positive IgG), and HPV (defined by at least one shot) in 1161 patients aged 18---30 years old who consulted at an HIV and STI screening center (CeGIDD) between May 2023 and May 2024. Results are presented by gender, sexual orientation and PrEP use.

Results: All in all, 59% (621/1051) of the population was HBV-immune.

Generalization Between Perceptually Similar Stimuli Is Associated With Improvement in Social Anxiety Following Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders requires that people learn to inhibit their fear during exposure to stimuli that no longer pose a threat. We investigate whether individual differences in this inhibitory learning ability, measured prior to treatment, can predict responsiveness to CBT for social anxiety disorder. Participants (N = 128) were randomized to CBT or a wait-list control and completed tests of fear generalization and extinction prior to and following the intervention period.

Self-report measures of fear learning and extinction and their association with internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy outcome.

Despite the widespread use of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), only about half of patients respond favourably. Understanding whether relevant psychological processes are associated with treatment response could help identify patients at risk of non-response prior to treatment and improve their outcomes by enabling clinicians to tailor interventions accordingly. Fear conditioning tasks are a valuable tool for studying the learning processes associated with anxiety disorders and their treatment.

Preclinical development of a novel injectable hydrogel for vas-occlusion.

Objectives: The objective of this work is to outline the preclinical development of ADAM, an injectable, two-component polyethylene glycol hydrogel designed for long-lasting and nonpermanent vas-occlusive contraception.

Study Design: A newly developed hydrogel was comprehensively characterized to evaluate its potential as a male contraceptive device. The material was optimized for porosity to ensure sperm occlusion, rheological properties, injectability, and mechanical durability within the dynamic vessel.

Evaluate the effect of virtual nurse-guided discharge education app on disease knowledge and symptom response in patients following coronary events.

Background: Pre-discharge patient education promotes better self-care and secondary prevention following acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Traditional methods do not adapt well to staff and patient time limitations and varied health literacy levels. Self-administered digital methods using engagement strategies may address these issues.
