Background: Social networks are a good source for monitoring public health during the outbreak of COVID-19, these networks play an important role in identifying useful information.
Objectives: This study aims to draw a comparison of the public's reaction in Twitter among the countries of West Asia (a.k.a Middle East) and North Africa in order to make an understanding of their response regarding the same global threat.
Methods: 766,630 tweets in four languages (Arabic, English French, and Farsi) tweeted in March 2020, were investigated.
Results: The results indicate that the only common theme among all languages is "government responsibilities (political)" which indicates the importance of this subject for all nations.
Conclusion: Although nations react similarly in some aspects, they respond differently in others and therefore, policy localization is a vital step in confronting problems such as COVID-19 pandemic.

Morphosyntactic production and processing skills in relation to age effects and lexical-phonological levels among children with cochlear implants and typically hearing peers: a focus on vowel nasality.
Front Hum Neurosci

Introduction: Significant variability in the language performance of children with cochlear implant (CI) is widely recognized in the literature, particularly concerning morphosyntactic (MS) skills. The perceptual limitations of the CI, which can lead to phonological difficulties, may be responsible for this increased vulnerability in grammatical abilities. In this context, the present study focuses on the morphophonemic processing of items distinguished by nasal and oral vowels in the French language - the feature of vowel nasality being known as challenging for the CI population.

Crystal-induced arthritis is frequently encountered in clinical practice. These diseases, which are often underdiagnosed or undertreated, present significant challenges in both their identification and management. This article explores the current challenges associated with these diseases, from diagnostic obstacles to the limitations of available therapies, and provides practical tools and recommendations to improve their daily management.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be classified as « resistant » or « difficult to treat » when there is no response to multiple lines of treatment and/or persistent symptoms that reduce the patients quality of life. Resistant RA represents a high-risk population for comorbidities. These patients often have more comorbidities, more extra-articular manifestations of their RA, have more disadvantaged social backgrounds, and frequently receive fewer conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.

The number of rheumatoid arthritis patients in clinical remission has increased dramatically. We owe this progress to the advent of biotherapy in the 1990s, but also to a more focused therapeutic approach. Managing remission is therefore a contemporary challenge and raises many questions: Do biotherapies lead to a cure or to drug-induced remission? What are the chances of reducing or stopping treatment? What factors are associated with successful discontinuation? How and in what order to proceed when patients are taking several treatments at the same time? In this article, concrete, pragmatic answers based on the latest recommendations and current knowledge are provided.
