[Libman-Sachs endocarditis and ischemic stroke: A case report].

Libman-Sacks endocarditis is a rare cardiac manifestation of anti-phospholipid syndromes, in which non-infectious thrombotic vegetations are found on the heart valves. Most patients are asymptomatic whereas the risk of thromboembolism is considerable. Diagnostic work-up is based on questioning and clinical examination data looking for extracardiac signs, biological data and also on imaging, and, above all, echocardiography.

Prion diseases disrupt glutamate/glutamine metabolism in skeletal muscle.

In prion diseases (PrDs), aggregates of misfolded prion protein (PrPSc) accumulate not only in the brain but also in extraneural organs. This raises the question whether prion-specific pathologies arise also extraneurally. Here we sequenced mRNA transcripts in skeletal muscle, spleen and blood of prion-inoculated mice at eight timepoints during disease progression.

Aortic Sarcoma Patients with Bone Metastasis.

Background: Metastases to the bone of aortic sarcoma include osteolytic and nonosteolytic lesions. This study aims to review the clinical symptoms, the sites, and diagnostic methods of bone metastases and to compare the osteolytic and nonosteolytic metastases of patients with aortic sarcoma.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and scientific journals published from 1972 to 2022.

[Smoking and mental disability : A mixed observational study using a diverse sample of medical-social establishments and services].

Introduction: A multi-center observational study was carried out in ten ESMS, using a mixed methodology (site visits, questionnaire survey, semi-directive group interviews with professionals and individual interviews with users).

Purpose Of The Research: The aim of this article is to describe the management and prevention of smoking in ESMS for people with mental health disorders, and to characterize and identify the smoking behaviors and representations of ESMS users and the professionals working there.

Results: The study made it possible to distinguish between ESMS in terms of the organization of smoking areas and tobacco prevention initiatives.

[Emergence of the “e-patient” and “e-caregiver” around a serious game in ETP].

Introduction: The advent of e-health has an impact on many areas of health care practice, including TPE. The impact of the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in health care, such as serious games, remains largely unexplored in the field of e-TPE.

Purpose Of The Research: To ask patients and health care professionals about the use of a serious game, in order to clarify the impact of these technologies on health care practices and on the relationship between caregiver and patient, as well as their advantages and limitations.

Occupational anaphylaxis-Data from the anaphylaxis registry.

Background: Epidemiologic data on occupational anaphylaxis is scarce, and there is a need of more knowledge about work-related anaphylactic episodes.

Methods: Based on the data of the Anaphylaxis Registry, we identified cases related to occupational exposure and analyzed the elicitors, demographics, severity of clinical reaction and management.

Results: Since 2017, 5851 cases with an information about the occupational relation of the anaphylactic episode were registered whereby 225 (3.

[Special care in dentistry in France: Issues, current situation, outlook].

The question of oral health care and access to it for persons with disabilities is a key public health issue. This contribution describes the general landscape of access to oral health care for persons with disabilities since Law no.2005-102 of February 11, 2005, taking a broad approach that spans initial training and continuing education in the sector, the Romain Jacob charter, and the implementation of several networks.

Correlations between clinical parameters, blastocyst morphological classification and embryo euploidy.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical and embryo parameters to predict embryo ploidy.

Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we studied 838 biopsied day-5 blastocysts from 219 patients in the period from May 2021 to July 2022. All embryos were morphologically classified before biopsy and were divided into two groups according to genetic test results.

[Malaria today].

Malaria, a parasitic disease the pathogen of which was discovered by Alphonse Laveran in 1880 in the blood of febrile patients, remains in 2022 the most frequent endemic disease in tropical and subtropical countries. In its latest "World Malaria Report" available in November 2021, the WHO deals in great detail with the data collected in the field in 2019-2020, their progression over the last 20 years, and the measures to be taken to try to better control this life-threatening endemic. The number of malaria cases is estimated at 232 million in 2019 in 87 endemic countries, down from 245 million in 2000.

[Exploration and management of thyroid nodules].

EXPLORATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THYROID NODULES. Most thyroid nodules are benign (95%) and can benefit from clinical and ultrasound monitoring. Cancers (approximately 5% of nodules) could be suspected, particularly in subjects whose neck was irradiated, in cases of a hard, irregular, evolving nodule, or with very high serum calcitonin (> 100 pg/ml).

[Predictive factors of the risk of rehospitalization and loss of autonomy in elderly people admitted to the emergency department: a pilot study].

Introduction: The number of elderly patients admitted to emergency departments (EDs) continues to rise each year. However, due to time and structural constraints, these facilities do not allow for optimal identification of patients at risk of rehospitalization and loss of independence.

Objective: To identify the characteristics of patients over the age of 75 discharged from the ED without indications for hospitalization, and to illustrate the importance of advanced practice nurses (APN) in identifying predictive factors of loss of independence.

[Identifying and treating alcohol use disorders in the elderly].

IDENTIFYING AND TREATING ALCOHOL USE DISORDERS IN THE ELDERLY Aging does not prevent the occurrence of alcohol use disorders, the frequency of which declines little with age. And advancing age increases the risks and effects of alcohol consumption (even seemingly modest) or the damages caused by alcohol use disorders. Polypathology, which is more frequent with age and a source of polymedication for the elderly, further increases the risks and damages incurred, as does the concomitant use of other psychoactive substances.

Case-report of an Abrikossoff tumor of the temporomandibular joint Rapport de cas d'une tumeur d'Abrikossoff de l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire.

Granular cell tumors are rare tumors with multiple localizations. The most common localizations are in the cervicofacial region in 45-65% of cases. The characterization of this tumor depends on its clinical and histopathological findings.

[Infant feeding, how to choose an infant milk?].

Infant feeding, how to choose an infant milk? The infant's nutrition is of particular concern, not only to assume a good nutritional status, an adequate growth and development, but also, to some extent, for his future health. Breast feeding remains the best choice but needs to be counseled in practice and in order to avoid deficiencies as well as chemical or in¬fectious contaminations. As a substitute to breast milk, none non modified mammalian milk fits the infant's nutritional needs.
