Objective: To obtain normative data using a French translation of the BNI Screen for Higher Cerebral Functions (BNIS) administered to French-speaking individuals.
Methods: Recruitment and administration of the BNIS to a convenience sample of 167 French-speaking individuals between the ages of 15-84 years.
Results: Mean BNIS total score for a French sample was within 1 point of what was observed in the original standardization study using 200 English-speaking controls. Age and education correlated significantly with BNIS scores in a manner reported by other studies.
Conclusion: The French translation of the BNIS appears to be a reliable method of assessing higher cerebral functioning in French-speaking individuals.

Homologous recombination promotes non-immunogenic mitotic cell death upon DNA damage.

Double-strand breaks (DSBs) can initiate mitotic catastrophe, a complex oncosuppressive phenomenon characterized by cell death during or after cell division. Here we unveil how cell cycle-regulated DSB repair guides disparate cell death outcomes through single-cell analysis of extended live imaging. Following DSB induction in S or G2, passage of unresolved homologous recombination intermediates into mitosis promotes non-immunogenic intrinsic apoptosis in the immediate attempt at cell division.

Introduction: The project, funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with oesophageal atresia (OA) between 13 and 14 years old and establish multiomics profiles using data from the world's biggest OA registry.
Methods And Analysis: is a national multicentre population-based cohort study recruiting participants from all qualified French centres for OA surgery at birth. The primary objective is to assess the prevalence of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in adolescence among patients with OA, with several secondary objectives including the identification of risk factors and multiomic profiles from oesophageal biopsies and blood samples collected between 13 and 14 years old, compared with a control group.
Background: In settings with low pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) coverage, multi-age cohort mass campaigns could increase population immunity, and fractional dosing could increase affordability. We aimed to evaluate the effect of mass campaigns on nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage of Pneumosil (PCV10) in children aged 1-9 years in Niger.
Methods: In this three-arm, open-label, cluster-randomised trial, 63 clusters of one to four villages in Niger were randomly assigned (3:3:1) using block randomisation to receive campaigns consisting of a single full dose of a 10-valent PCV (Pneumosil), a single one-fifth dose of Pneumosil, or no campaign.
Heterochromatic gene silencing controls CD4 T cell susceptibility to regulatory T cell-mediated suppression in a murine allograft model.

Protective immune responses require close interactions between conventional (Tconv) and regulatory T cells (Treg). The extracellular mediators and signaling events that regulate the crosstalk between these CD4 T cell subsets have been extensively characterized. However, how Tconv translate Treg-dependent suppressive signals at the chromatin level remains largely unknown.
