A comparison of two dynamic assessment situations for detecting development language disorder in monolingual and bilingual children.

Bilingual children's language skills are strongly influenced by exposure to each of their languages, among other linguistic, environmental, and cognitive factors. In the speech and language therapy clinic, it is difficult to disentangle developmental language disorders from insufficient exposure. Dynamic assessment, which directly tests the learning potential of children, offers a promising solution for this dilemma.

[Implementation of nurse practioner role in an emergency department].

The major challenges facing our healthcare system foster the emergence of new inter-professional roles such as the Specialized Nurse Practitioner. These professionals, recognized by a legal framework, hold advanced practice medical and nursing skills obtained after a 120-credit Master's-level university training. In 2018, the Emergency Department (ED) of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois was one of the first departments in Switzerland to implement such a role.

[SGLT2 inhibitors : promises, but for whom ?].

In type 2 diabetes, the launch of gliflozins (or SGLT2i), like each new therapeutic class, is generating a great deal of hope and is being heavily marketed. The pivotal studies show a beneficial effect on the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and, to a lesser extent, on the decline in renal function. The impact on physiological factors (weight, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure) is modest, and the side-effect profile is relatively heavy, particularly in the elderly (frequent urogenital infections, ketoacidosis, etc.

[Racism in healthcare (part 1) : a health equity issue].

Racism remains a major obstacle in access to quality healthcare. Understanding the concept and definition of racism in healthcare remains unclear for many. This first article in a series on racism in health care, aims to clarify the different forms of racism in health care, their influence on access to health care, and propose measures to limit their influence in the care of racialized groups.

[Solid tumor lysis syndrome: an entity that should not be neglected].

Tumor lysis syndrome is a metabolic emergency resulting from a massive destruction of cancer cells. This is often associated with hematological malignancies, such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute leukemia, but the incidence tends to increase for solid tumors with the development of oncological treatments. Due to a poor prognosis, it is essential to recognize this syndrome early.

[Mechanical thrombectomy in pulmonary embolism].

Systemic thrombolysis is the first-line treatment for patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism or with haemodynamic deterioration on anticoagulation alone; however, it is associated with a high bleeding risk. Mechanical thrombectomy may significantly reduce right ventricular dysfunction without exposing the patient to systemic bleeding complications. No randomized trials comparing the two treatments are available to date.

[Abnormal uterine bleeding and hemostasis disorders].

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) are common in adolescents and young adults. They may be secondary to inherited bleeding disorders such as von Willebrand disease or platelet function disorders. These conditions are often under-recognized, leading to diagnostic delays and inadequate management.

[Deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb : from diagnosis to treatment].

When a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is suspected, management should begin with a well-defined diagnostic approach based on clinical evaluation and pre-test probability, D-dimer testing, and venous ultrasound. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is important to differentiate between proximal and distal DVT, as their treatment strategies differs. While numerous robust studies with a high level of evidence are available for proximal DVT, the optimal management of distal DVT remains debated.

Environmental and socio-economic determinants of fecal sludge emptying in Sub-Saharan Africa: A cross-sectional mixed-methods study in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

This study sought to understand the determinants of household's choices for fecal sludge (FS) emptying to help fighting against unhygienic/unsafe practices and environmental pollution. A cross-sectional mixed study used in the municipality of Yopougon (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire), involved surveys (559 household), and 24 semi-structured interviews. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) from logistic regressions indicated the variables significantly associated with these practices while thematic content analysis helped assessing stakeholders' perceptions.

Advancing toxicovigilance of recreational drugs, including new psychoactive substances, by using data from four European poison centres.

Introduction: Common recreational drugs and new psychoactive substances pose challenges to public health. This study investigated the feasibility of merging cases of recreational drug poisoning reported to European poison centres.

Methods: Four European poison centres (Freiburg, Germany; the Netherlands; Sweden and Switzerland) collaborated in a retrospective, observational study.

Understanding preoperative health-related quality of life in rotator cuff tear patients: role of patients' characteristics.

Background: Assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a widely employed method in orthopedics to evaluate patient well-being and measure the effectiveness of surgical interventions. Understanding the relationship between specific baseline factors and preoperative HRQoL can help clinicians identify patients at risk for low quality of life and thus, develop preventive strategies that adequately address individual patient needs. The objective was to assess associations between baseline factors and preoperative HRQoL in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).

[Liver injury and polyserositis as rare side effects of oxcarbazepine].

We report the case of a patient with trigeminal neuralgia who developed cholestatic liver injury with systemic inflammation and polyserositis after starting oxcarbazepine therapy. No other causes could be identified. After discontinuation of the drug, there was a complete remission.

Tabletop Simulations in Medical Emergencies: A Scoping Review.

Tabletop simulations (TTS) are a novel educational modality used in health care education. The objective of this scoping review was to describe the use of TTS in medical emergencies, specifically settings, specialties, participants, formats, and outcomes.We included 70 studies (33 descriptive studies [47%], 33 cohort studies [47%], and 2 randomized controlled trials [3%]), of which 65 reported positive results regarding reaction and learning educational outcomes (reaction: n = 37, 53%; learning: n = 25, 36%; behavior: n = 7, 10%; result: n = 1, 1%).

Level of involvement of four selected cytochrome P450s (CYPs) in pyrethroid-resistant () and across Côte d'Ivoire.

In Côte d'Ivoire, there is a high intensity of pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors which may threaten successful vector control. Molecular studies of the target site mutation in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) show that the gene frequencies of these mutations are high, widely spread across Côte d'Ivoire, and even fixed in some areas. To further characterize insecticide resistance in Côte d'Ivoire beyond target site mutations, the metabolic resistance mechanism was explored.

Efficacy of nutritional support in combination with standard Buruli ulcer treatment: A case study in Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: Buruli ulcer (BU) is an infectious skin disease caused by . It primarily affects disadvantaged rural populations and mainly impacts children who are chronically malnourished being especially vulnerable. In Côte d'Ivoire, the estimated prevalence of BU in children is 30 %.

Network analyses of physical and psychological factors of playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in student musicians: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Young musicians starting their professional education are particularly vulnerable to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs). In the context of research on PRMDs, physical and psychological associated factors are frequently highlighted without investigating their complex interrelationships. The objective of this exploratory study was to examine the associations between lifestyle, music practice habits, physical and psychological variables, and PRMDs in student musicians.
