[Amatoxin-containing mushroom poisoning: An update].

Amatoxin-containing mushroom poisoning occurs after consumption of certain mushroom species, of the genera Amanita, Lepiota and Galerina. Amanita phalloides is the most implicated species, responsible for over more than 90% of mushroom-related deaths. The α-amanitin is responsible for most of the observed effects.

[Prevalence, consequences of female genital mutilation among asylum seekers in Ile-de-France and socio-demographic characteristics].

Introduction: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is an intervention on the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. In France, asylum is possible for girls at risk of FGM in their country of origin. The procedure includes a forensic examination of the child.

Self-poisoning by E-cigarette and E-liquids: National Reports to French Poison Control Centers from July 2019 to December 2020: VIGIlance and VAPE: The VIGIVAPE Study.

Introduction: Exposure to e-cigarette liquids, whether intentional or accidental, might lead to adverse events. This study aimed to describe the prevalence and characteristics of exposures to e-liquids reported to French Poison Control Centers.

Methods: All e-liquids exposure cases reported to French Poison Control Centers from July 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020, were reviewed.

[Environmental and occupational risk factors for myelodysplastic syndrome].

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy for a previous cancer can lead to subsequent myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, these therapy-related cases are hypothesized to explain only 5 % of diagnosed MDS cases. Environmental or occupational exposure to chemicals or radiations has also been reported to be associated with higher risk of MDS.

Risk of occupational infection in forensic workers: a review.

The occupational risk of infection in forensic workers is a cause for concern, furthermore in the current context of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. In order to characterize this risk, we performed an extended review of the literature on occupational infections occurring in forensic workers. Seventeen articles were included.

Local anesthetics systemic toxicity in children: analysis of the French pharmacovigilance database.

Purpose: To characterize clinical profile of pediatric local anesthetic (LA) systemic toxicity (LAST) and to identify determinants of life-threatening outcomes.

Methods: Spontaneous reports notified to the French Pharmacovigilance Network were retrieved and followed by a case-by-case review, according to the following criteria: LA as suspected drug, age < 18 years, adverse drug reactions related to nervous system, cardiac, respiratory, psychiatric or general disorders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors leading to life-threatening reaction (i.

Clinical Outcomes of Indigenous Versus Non-Indigenous Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in the Province of Quebec.

Introduction: Canadian Indigenous populations have a high incidence of poisoning; it has been suggested that care provided to the population living in remote areas is suboptimal. Our study aims to compare the continuum of care of poisoned people in Indigenous communities with those in non-Indigenous communities located in rural regions in the province of Québec.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study using data from the Center Antipoison du Québec (CAPQ) over a 2-year period (2016-2017).

Effect of Taste Additives on the Palatability of Activated Charcoal: a Systematic Review.

Introduction: Activated charcoal is a decontaminating agent used for acute intoxication. It can be mixed with taste additives to overcome its poor palatability. Our purpose was to evaluate the taste additives used to improve activated charcoal's palatability.

Comparison of Machine Learning Methods in the Study of Cancer Survivors' Return to Work: An Example of Breast Cancer Survivors with Work-Related Factors in the CONSTANCES Cohort.

Purpose: Machine learning (ML) methods showed a higher accuracy in identifying individuals without cancer who were unable to return to work (RTW) compared to the classical methods (e.g. logistic regression models).

Beneficial Effects of ε-Viniferin on Obesity and Related Health Alterations.

Viniferin is a phenolic compound belonging to the group of stilbenoids. In particular, ε-viniferin is a dimer of resveratrol, found in many plant genders, among which grapes () are a primary source. Due to the fact that ε-viniferin is mainly present in the woody parts of plants, their use as a source of this bioactive compound is a very interesting issue in a circular economy.

How to Use Biomechanical Job Exposure Matrices with Job History to Access Work Exposure for Musculoskeletal Disorders? Application of Mathematical Modeling in Severe Knee Pain in the Constances Cohort.

Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders related to work might be caused by the cumulative effect of occupational exposures during working life. We aimed to develop a new model which allows to compare the accuracy of duration of work and intensity/frequency associations in application to severe knee pain.

Methods: From the CONSTANCES cohort, 62,620 subjects who were working at inclusion and coded were included in the study.
