Fast bacterial detection and identification is a crucial challenge in order to improve our antibiotics use and reduce the antimicrobial resistance. Electroanalysis of biological fluids is cheap and can be done in situ but the electrode material needs to be perfectly chosen. We previously studied electrochemical signature of Pseudomonas aeruginosa's secretome, thanks to glassy carbon electrode.

Nevertheless, treatment acceptance deals with patients negative representations. This "nicotinophobia" could be the main barrier to treatment acceptance and as a consequence would be at the origin of numerous failures of smoking cessation.

Methods: An online survey was designed using a combination of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and distributed to MLA members.
Objective: To assess the efficacy of a strategy, based on telephone support oriented by accelerometer measurements, on the adherence to physical activity (PA) recommendations in cardiac patients not achieving PA recommendations.
Design: Prospective and randomized study.
Setting: A cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) at a clinic.
Purpose: To objectively assess, in stable cardiac patients, the adherence to physical activity (PA) recommendations using an accelerometer at 2 or 12 months after the discharge of cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP).
Methods: Eighty cardiac patients wore an accelerometer at 2 months (group 1, short-term adherence, n = 41) or one-year (group 2, long-term adherence, n = 39) after a CRP including therapeutic education about regular PA. PA was classified as "light" (1.
