The enhanced national pharmacovigilance system implemented for COVID-19 vaccines in France: A 2-year experience report.

In March 2020, World Health Organization recognized severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emergence as a public health emergency of international concern. One of the major preventative measures developed against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was vaccines. To monitor their use and safety of vaccines from the first utilization in humans during clinical development phases to implementation for the general population, an enhanced national pharmacovigilance system was enabled by the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety in collaboration with the 30 Regional Pharmacovigilance Centres.

Tangential velocity constraint for orbital maneuvers with Theory of Functional Connections.

Maneuvering a spacecraft in the cislunar space is a complex problem, since it is highly perturbed by the gravitational influence of both the Earth and the Moon, and possibly also the Sun. Trajectories minimizing the needed fuel are generally preferred in order to decrease the mass of the payload. A classical method to constrain maneuvers is mathematically modeling them using the Two Point Boundary Value Problem (TPBVP), defining spacecraft positions at the start and end of the trajectory.

A new visual design language for biological structures in a cell.

As part of a project to build a spatiotemporal model of the pancreatic β-cell, we are creating an immersive experience called "World in a Cell" that can be used to integrate and create new educational tools. To do this, we have developed a new visual design language that uses tetrahedral building blocks to express the structural features of biological molecules and organelles in crowded cellular environments. The tetrahedral language enables more efficient animation and user interaction in an immersive environment.

Incidence and characteristics of intravascular pulmonary migration of etonogestrel implants: A French nationwide study.

Objective(s): To describe the features of etonogestrel implant (Nexplanon and Implanon) migration into the pulmonary vasculature and to estimate its incidence in France.

Study Design: We retrospectively reviewed French cases of implant migration into the pulmonary vasculature reported up to 2018. Patient clinical data were collected.

[Evaluation of dental medical devices: Focus on the definition of needs].

Objectives: As a university teaching hospital, the call for tender for dental medical devices (dental implants and consumables) is done with the help of a team of hospital pharmacists and users. In order to optimize the definition of needs and evaluation criteria, an exhaustive review of the products was carried out.

Methods: Dental medical devices suppliers were consulted in 2017 for reviewing their products.
