Understanding maternal sepsis risk factors and bacterial etiology: A case control study protocol.

Introduction: Maternal disorders are the third leading cause of sepsis globally, accounting for 5.7 million (12%) cases in 2017. There are increasing concerns about the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria commonly causing maternal sepsis.

[Évaluation de la gravité du cancer colorectal dépisté dans le contexte de la crise sanitaire liée au COVID19 en région Ile-de-France].

Background: After the announcement in March 2020 of the COVID-19 pandemic, colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs were suspended in several countries. Compared to the lesions detected during previous campaigns, this study aims to assess the severity of CRC detected during the 2020 screening campaign in ÃŽle-de-France, the French region most affected by the 1 wave of the pandemic.

Methods: The descriptive and etiological study included all faecal immunochemical test (FIT) results carried out between January 2017 and December 2020 on people aged 50-74, living in ÃŽle-de-France.

One hour of internal precooling with cold water/menthol enhances cycling performance in a heat/wet stress environment: A pilot study.

The aim of this study was to compare precooling durations before aerobic performance in a heat/ wet stress environment. Seven heat-acclimated and trained male cyclists completed 1-hour time trials in a hot and humid environment. Before each trial, the cyclists drank (1) a neutral beverage at 23°C during the 1-hour pre-exercise resting period (Neutral), (2) an ice-slush/menthol beverage at -1°C during the last 30 min of the resting period (Pre-30), or (3) an ice-slush/menthol beverage at -1°C during the 1-hour pre-exercise resting period (Pre-60).

Chromosome-level genome sequence of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) highlights regions of introgression with O. mossambicus.

Background: The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third most important freshwater fish for aquaculture. Its success is directly linked to continuous breeding efforts focusing on production traits such as growth rate and weight. Among those elite strains, the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) programme initiated by WorldFish is now distributed worldwide.

Radiation Synthesis of Selenium Nanoparticles Capped with -Glucan and Its Immunostimulant Activity in Cytoxan-Induced Immunosuppressed Mice.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with diameters from 64.8 to 110.1 nm were successfully synthesized by γ-irradiation of solutions containing Se and water-soluble yeast -glucan.
