Introduction: Treatment options for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with disease progression on/after osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy are limited.

Methods: CHRYSALIS-2 Cohort A evaluated amivantamab+lazertinib in patients with EGFR exon 19 deletion- or L858R-mutated NSCLC with disease progression on/after osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy. Primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR).

Phase 2 Open-Label Study of Sacituzumab Govitecan as Second-Line Therapy in Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: Results From TROPiCS-03.

Introduction: The phase 2 TROPiCS-03 study evaluated the efficacy/safety of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) as second-line treatment in patients with previously treated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

Methods: TROPiCS-03 (NCT03964727) is a multicohort, open-label, phase 2 basket study in solid tumors, including ES-SCLC. Adults with ES-SCLC that progressed after one prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-programmed death-(ligand) 1 (PD-[L]1) therapy received SG 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle.

Antipsychotic use during pregnancy and outcomes in pregnant individuals and newborns.

Background: Despite the increasing use of antipsychotics during pregnancy, comprehensive evaluations of their individual safety profiles using global data remain limited. This study aimed to assess the safety of various antipsychotics during pregnancy by comparing them to quetiapine, which has a relatively large body of safety data.

Method: Utilizing the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database (1967-2023; n = 131,255,418 reports), we identified 11,406 reports of antipsychotic exposure during pregnancy.

Deciphering the mechanisms of action underlying probiotic properties of Shouchella clausii by a functional genomics approach.

Probiotics are widely used for their health promoting effects, though a lot remain to be discovered, particularly on their mechanisms of action at the molecular level. The functional genomic approach is an appropriate method to decipher how probiotics may influence human cell fate and therefore contribute to their health benefit. In the present work, we focused on Shouchella clausii (formerly named Bacillus then Alkalihalobacillus clausii), a spore-forming bacterium that is commercially available as a probiotic for the prevention and the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis and related gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhoea.

Cell shape modulates mitotic spindle positioning forces via intracellular hydrodynamics.

The regulation of mitotic spindle positioning and orientation is central to the morphogenesis of developing embryos and tissues. In many multicellular contexts, cell geometry has been shown to have a major influence on spindle positioning, with spindles that commonly align along the longest cell shape axis. To date, however, we still lack an understanding of how the nature and amplitude of intracellular forces that position, orient, or hold mitotic spindles depend on cell geometry.

Resveratrol and capsaicin as safer radiosensitizers for colorectal cancer compared to 5-fluorouracil.

Background And Aim: Standard rectal cancer treatment includes neoadjuvant radiotherapy sensitized by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy. However, 5-FU increased chemoradiotherapy response rate comes with significant toxicity, especially in older, frail patients. The development of alternatives to chemotherapy enabling radiosensitization with limited systemic toxicity is therefore needed to improve patient management.

Anti-IL-6R Ab tocilizumab to treat paraneoplastic inflammatory syndrome of solid cancers.

Background: Paraneoplastic inflammatory syndrome (PIS) with fever and biological inflammation is a rare but severe condition often caused by the systemic production of interleukin 6 (IL-6) by cancer cells. We report on the efficacy of tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, in 35 patients with severe PIS.

Patients And Methods: All 35 patients with solid cancers (sarcomas, lung carcinoma, and breast carcinoma) diagnosed with a PIS from 2019 to 2024 treated with tocilizumab were analyzed in this single-center study (health authorities' approval R201-004-478).

Linking new national active biomonitoring data with stream macroinvertebrate communities suggests large-scale effects of toxic contamination on freshwater ecosystems.

Since recent years, an increasingly large number of toxic chemicals enters watercourses threatening freshwater biodiversity. But ecological studies still poorly document the quantitative patterns linking exposure to complex mixture of toxic chemicals and species communities' integrity in the field. In this context, French monitoring authorities have recently deployed at a national scale in situ biotests using the feeding inhibition of the crustacean Gammarus as toxicity indicator.

Particle emissions study from tire sample with nano-silver tracer from different steps of its life cycle. A new approach to trace emissions of tire microparticles.

Emissions due to tires retread/repair and incineration are a cause of concern owing to the presence of nanoparticles in the products. The assessment exposure to humans hereto related is a challenge in an environmental context. The first object of this work is to develop a method to characterize the emission sources using online (counting and sizing) and offline measurements.

Climate, not land-use, drives a recent acceleration of larch expansion at the forest-grassland ecotone in the southern French alps.

In recent decades significant forest expansion into treeless alpine zones has been observed across global mountain ranges, including the Alps, driven by a complex interplay of global warming and land-use changes. The upward shift of treelines has far-reaching implications for ecosystem functioning, biodiversity, and biogeochemical cycles. However, climate variables alone account for only a fraction of treeline dynamics, highlighting substantial research gaps concerning the influence of non-climatic factors.

Neglected class A carbapenemases: Systematic review of IMI/NmcA and FRI from a One Health perspective.

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales are pathogens classified as a critical priority by the World Health Organization and a burden on human health worldwide. IMI, NmcA, and FRI are under-detected class A carbapenemases that have been reported in the human, animal and environmental compartments, particularly these last 5 years. Bacteria producing these carbapenemases have been mostly identified in digestive carriage screenings, but they are also involved in severe infections, such as bacteremia.

The role of river connectivity in the distribution of fish in an anthropized watershed.

The ongoing biodiversity crisis is especially severe in freshwater habitats. Anthropized watersheds, such as the Seine-Normandie basin in France, are particularly affected by human interference. The study of fish species distribution in watersheds often relies on environmental drivers such as land use or climate.

Sex-specific associations of neurodegeneration and inflammatory biomarkers with intrinsic capacity in older adults: Findings from the 4-year longitudinal Multidomain Alzheimer's Prevention Trial (MAPT).

This four-year longitudinal study investigated whether the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of inflammation-related and neurodegenerative-related blood biomarkers with intrinsic capacity differ according to sex. The sample comprised 1117 older adults (<70 years, 63.8 % females) from the Multidomain Alzheimer's Prevention Trial (MAPT).

Equine piroplasmosis in different geographical areas in France: Prevalence heterogeneity of asymptomatic carriers and low genetic diversity of Theileria equi and Babesia caballi.

Equine piroplasmosis is a worldwide tick-borne disease caused by the parasites Theileria equi sensu lato and Babesia caballi, with significant economic and sanitary consequences. These two parasites are genetically variable, with a potential impact on diagnostic accuracy. Our study aimed to evaluate the frequency of asymptomatic carriers of these parasites in France and describe the circulating genotypes.

Let's "game" it!: Dangerous games, a new health challenge.

In the past several years, children and adolescents have increasingly been enticed into playing dangerous and challenging games, particularly through social networks. Epidemiological data regarding this phenomenon are particularly difficult to come by, as is information regarding the somatic and psychological consequences of these activities, which can end up having fatal outcomes. We here report the case of a suspicion of child abuse that turned out to be due to participation in a challenge game known as "The Deodorant Challenge" by a 10-year-old child who presented with burn-like lesions.

Barriers to influenza vaccination during pregnancy in France: A national population-based study.

Background: Despite French national recommendations since 2012 that all pregnant women be vaccinated against influenza, in 2021 this vaccine coverage is low - around 30 % - in France.

Objectives: To identify barriers to influenza vaccination during pregnancy by assessing how often women were offered this vaccination and how often they accepted it.

Study Design: We used data from the French national perinatal survey (ENP), which covered all births during one week in March 2021 (N = 12,614).

Copper and zinc removal from anaerobic digestates via Sporosarcina pasteurii induced precipitation: Effect of volatile fatty acids on process performance.

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) shows great potential for metals recovery from secondary sources, which is vital for circular economy. This study explores the feasibility of using Sporosarcina pasteurii for MICP to recover copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) from acidogenic anaerobic digestates at laboratory scale. Pre-cultured S.

Fortuitous discovery of a superior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery originating from the right branch of the hepatic artery during cadaver dissection.

Introduction: The duodeno-pancreatic region is a highly vascularized area. The superior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a vessel primarily originating from the gastroduodenal artery. It exhibits rare anatomical variations, such as its emergence from the right branch of the hepatic artery, which we fortuitously identified during a cadaver dissection.

Recent Advances in Synthetic Strategies of Glycans and their Pharmaceutical Applications.

The understanding of glycans, the third life chain, is widely desired. Naturally, the glycoconjugates are found in heterogeneous forms due to the enzyme competition in the same process. As a result, the synthesis of homogeneous glycans has become one of the trending research topics.

Anakinra as a first-line therapy for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis when nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug treatment fails: A single-center French retrospective study.

Introduction: Anakinra has dramatically improved the management of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) over the last decade. Nevertheless, management remains inconsistent; corticosteroids are still frequently used. We analyzed the course of SJIA in children treated with anakinra according to the time of treatment initiation after disease onset.

European Guideline on Chronic Nausea and Vomiting-A UEG and ESNM Consensus for Clinical Management.

Introduction: Chronic nausea and vomiting are symptoms of a wide range of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal conditions. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires a systematic and well-structured approach. If the initial investigation for structural, toxic and metabolic disorders is negative, digestive motility and gut-brain interaction disorders should be assessed.

Individual variability in the phenology of an asynchronous penguin species induces consequences on breeding and carry-over effects.

Phenology is a major component of animals' breeding, as they need to adjust their breeding timing to match optimal environmental conditions. While the effects of shifting phenology are well-studied on populations, few studies emphasise its ecological causes and consequences at the inter-individual level. Using a 20-year monitoring of more than 2500 breeding events from ~ 500 breeding little penguins (Eudyptula minor), a very asynchronously breeding seabird, we investigated the consequences of late breeding on present and next breeding events.

Ecotoxicology of cephalopod early life phases: review and perspectives.

The present review provides the first analysis and synthesis of the available scientific information on the effects of anthropogenic contaminants on cephalopod embryos, paralarvae, and juveniles. We evaluated 46 articles published between 1970 and 2023 that focused on trace elements (69%), pharmaceutical compounds (11%), persistent organic compounds (11%), and plastics (9%). To date, the greatest scientific effort has originated from Europe and Asia (France [57%], China [9%], Italy [7%], and Spain [4%]), with few reports available from the rest of the world.

Rescue therapy after failed thrombectomy in medium/distal vessel occlusions: A retrospective analysis of an international, multi-center registry.

Background: There are limited therapeutic options in cases of failed reperfusion (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [mTICI] score < 2b) after stent-retriever and/or aspiration based endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. Despite the absence of data supporting its use, rescue therapy (balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation) is often utilized in such cases. Studies are limited to large vessel occlusions, while the outcomes and complications after rescue therapy in medium/distal vessel occlusions (MDVOs) have not been reported.
