The aims of this paper were to assess resistance of Helicobacter pylori to antibiotics included in the so-called French triple regimens and to identify the possible causes of therapeutic failure in Reunion island. Antibiotic resistance was determined for 109 strains. All the strains were sensitive to amoxicillin and tetracycline, 93.6% were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, 92.7% to erythromycin and 60.6% to metronidazole. Fifty three patients who had previously tested positive for H. pylori received for one week regimen of amoxicillin (1 g bd), clarithromycin (0.5 g bd) and omeprazole (20 mg bd). Eradication rate after therapy was of 73.6%. Therapeutic failure was analysed for 9 patients using random amplified polymorphic DNA and the presence or not of antibiotic resistance. One cause of failure is clarithromycin resistance. These data show that triple therapy can be used in Reunion Island. In case of failure, sensitivity must be detected because the rate of resistance to metronidazole is over 30%.

Introduction: Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDs) display several developmental impairments across various domains that impact parent-child interactions, emphasizing the need for effective early interventions. This multi-centric study aimed to evaluate the impact of video-feedback intervention (VFI) on enhancing maternal behavior (i.e.

Introduction/aims: Finger Extension Weakness and DOwnbeat Nystagmus Motor Neuron Disease (FEWDON-MND) is characterized by motor weakness predominantly affecting finger extension, accompanied by downbeat nystagmus. To date, only 11 patients have been reported. The present study adds a further three and aims to provide a more detailed description of the electrodiagnostic features of these patients.

The bacterium is increasingly studied for its potential use in controlling insect vectors or pests due to its ability to induce Cytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI). CI can be exploited by establishing an opportunistic infection in a targeted insect species through trans-infection and then releasing the infected males into the environment as sterilizing agents. Several host life history traits (LHT) have been reported to be negatively affected by artificial infection.

Beyond the role of bats as natural host reservoirs of infectious agents, the impact of viral spillover from other animal species to bats has been neglected. Given the limited virus-host specificity of astroviruses (AstVs) and their propensity for cross-species transmission, we hypothesized that AstVs could be transmitted within animal communities (rodents, birds, and bats) and that native endemic bats may be exposed to viruses hosted by other species. We investigated the presence of AstV RNA in 3,796 biological samples collected in Reunion Island from ( = 3421), an endemic free-tailed bat species, and also from small terrestrial mammals and birds: ( = 146), ( = 74), ( = 36), ( = 99), and ( = 20).

Introduction: Although marine envenomations are a reason for consultation in tropical emergency departments, stonefish stings are particularly feared. Immediate management focuses on pain control, whereas late management addresses cutaneous complications. This study presents a new series and compares the management of these patients and their outcomes at our center over the past 20 years.
