Background: Impulsivity is a multifaceted construct that has a prominent role in psychiatry. Lynam et al (2006) have developed the UPPS-P, a 59-item scale measuring 5 impulsivity components: negative urgency, positive urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance, and sensation seeking. The aim of the present study was to validate a short, 20-item French version of the UPPS-P.
Methods: Six hundred fifty participants filled out the short French UPPS-P. A subgroup of participants (n = 145) took part in a follow-up study and completed the scale twice to determine test-retest stability; another subgroup (n = 105) was screened with other questionnaires also to establish external validity.
Results: Confirmatory factor analyses supported a hierarchical model comprising 2 higher order factors of urgency (resulting from negative urgency and positive urgency) and lack of conscientiousness (resulting from lack of premeditation and lack of perseverance) as well as a separate factor of sensation seeking. The results indicated good internal consistency and test-retest stability. External validity was supported by relationships with psychopathological symptoms.
Conclusion: The short French version of the UPPS-P therefore presents good psychometric properties and may be considered a promising instrument for both research and clinical practice.

Background: People with diabetes are at increased risk of hospitalisation, morbidity, and mortality following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Long-term outcomes for people with diabetes previously hospitalised with COVID-19 are, however, unknown. This study aimed to determine the longer-term physical and mental health effects of COVID-19 in people with and without diabetes.

This dataset was created to investigate the impact of data collection modes and pre-processing techniques on the quality of free comment data related to consumers' sensory perceptions. A total of 200 consumers were recruited and divided into two groups of 100. Each group evaluated six madeleine samples (five distinct samples and one replicate) in a sensory analysis laboratory, using different free comment data collection modes.

Although venous stent placement is an established treatment for patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), stent patency rate may be as low as 80% at 12 months. Treatment of stent occlusion requires the removal of a large amount of fresh or organized thrombus from stents with a diameter of 12-20 mm. The feasibility of large-bore rotational thrombectomy in combination with angioplasty to treat thrombosed venous iliofemoral or inferior vena cava stents has not been investigated yet.

Background: Understanding the dietary intake of elite adolescent athletes and its adequacy with sport nutrition recommendation is a key issue for health and player development, as well as performance and recovery. Energy availability needs to be considered to ensure optimal health and performance in young athletes. The present study aimed to quantify energy availability, energy expenditure and macronutrient intake in young male rugby union players competing at national level.

Introduction: Few data on the impact of specific interventions against Emergency Rooms 'or Hospitals overcrowding are available in France.
Methods: In the present report, we retrospectively investigated the impact of the implementation of a short-stay observation unit associated with the admitter-rounder model, especially onto the other in-patient internal medicine units in a French University Hospital.
Results: During the first 100 days, 242 patients were admitted into the short-stay observation unit.
