Objectives: In this communication, we wish to remember the important historical role played by Marcel Proust's father, the now mostly forgotten Achille-Adrien Proust (1834-1903).
Study Design And Methods: His career, scientific interests and, above all, his brilliant intuitions and suggestions in the fight against cholera in the 19th century are recalled.
Results And Conclusions: His role in the promotion of a globally effective vision of public hygiene and health is stressed as a bright example for modern physicians fighting contemporary epidemics.

Qualitative systematic review on the lived experience of functional neurological disorder.
BMJ Neurol Open
January 2025
The Brain and Mind Centre, The University of Sydney Faculty of Medicine and Health, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objectives: Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a complex disorder, recently attracting much research into aetiology and treatment. However, there is limited research on the patient's lived experience. This paper addresses this gap to ask: 'What is the subjective life experience of adult patients living with FND?'
Methods: From 1980 to 2020, Medline, PsycInfo, Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, CINAHL and Embase were searched for English language qualitative adult research.
The efficiency of artificial intelligence for management and clinical decision-making in the identification of patients with undiagnosed HCV infection (Intelligen-C strategy).

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) allows the optimization of diagnostic processes for hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. Our objective was to evaluate the clinical, economic, and management benefits of an AI-based clinical decision support system (Intelligen-C strategy).
Methods: The Intelligen-C strategy consisted of (1) a retrospective phase (Dec 2013-Sep 2021), in which medical records were reviewed to search for anti-HCV-positive and/or HCV-RNA-positive patients lost in the system, and (2) a prospective phase (Feb 2022-Jan 2023), in which automated screening (40-70 years) and routine testing for risk factors were performed in patients who were admitted to the emergency department or were hospitalized.
Lung resection and new postoperative home oxygen requirement: a systematic review.
J Thorac Dis
December 2024
Department of Surgery, University of Alabama Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Background: While patients are assessed for their ability to tolerate surgery through physiologic evaluations such as pulmonary function tests, ventilation-perfusion scans, and exercising testing, some patients still require home oxygen therapy after pulmonary resection. It is not well understood what the associated risk factors are, how long patients need supplemental oxygen, and if this requirement is associated with worse long-term outcomes. Given these knowledge gaps, we sought to conduct a systematic review of pulmonary resections and new postoperative home oxygen requirement.

F1000Res
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Stellenbosch University Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care, Cape Town, South Africa.
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of death worldwide with over 90% of reported cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Pre-treatment loss to follow-up (PTLFU) is a key contributor to TB mortality and infection transmission.
Objectives: We performed a scoping review to map available evidence on interventions to reduce PTLFU in adults with pulmonary TB, identify gaps in existing knowledge, and develop a conceptual framework to guide intervention implementation.
