The 78 Nord Porte de Normandie territorial professional health communities (CPTS), created in 2020 in the Yvelines department, aims to improve care coordination and access to healthcare services for a population of 170,000 inhabitants spread over 57 communes. Driven by the Odyssée association, the project has been designed to meet the challenges of a region marked by social inequalities, unfavorable medical demographics and difficulties in accessing care. It stands out for its inclusive governance, bringing together healthcare professionals, users and local players, enabling decisions to be taken in line with the realities on the ground.

The objective of this study was to determine whether there was an association between a patient's race or ethnicity and the receipt of an antiemetic agent preoperatively, during surgery, and in the recovery room.
Methods: A single-institution retrospective study of adult patients (>18 years) who had undergone cancer-related operating room procedures under anesthesia between March 2016 and August 2021 was conducted.
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a key player in atopic diseases, which has sparked great interest in therapeutically targeting TSLP. Yet, no small-molecule TSLP inhibitors exist due to the challenges of disrupting the protein-protein interaction between TSLP and its receptor. Here, we report the development of small-molecule TSLP receptor inhibitors using virtual screening and docking of >1,000,000 compounds followed by iterative chemical synthesis.

However, treatment with classic DHFR inhibitors, such as methotrexate (MTX), are associated with negative side-effects and resistance mechanisms that have prompted the search for alternatives. The DHFR inhibitor pyrimethamine (Pyr) has compelling anti-cancer activity in in vivo models, but lacks potency compared to MTX, thereby requiring higher concentrations to induce therapeutic responses.
