Self /other recognition and distinction in adolescents with anorexia nervosa: A pilot study using a double mirror paradigm.

Background: Abnormalities in body perception in patients affected by anorexia nervosa have been widely studied, but without explicit reference to their relationship to others and the social processes involved. Yet, there are a several arguments supporting impairments in interpersonal relationships in these patients. Notably, some evidence suggests that self/other distinction (SOD), the ability to distinguish one's own body, actions and mental representations from those of others could be impaired.

Distinct pathophysiological pathways support stratification of Sjögren's disease based on symptoms, clinical, and routine biological data.

Objective: Recently, three distinct phenotypes of Sjögren's disease (SjD) patients have been described, based on cluster analysis: B-cell active with low symptoms (BALS), high systemic activity (HSA), and low systemic activity with high symptoms (LSAHS). We aimed to assess whether these clusters were associated with distinct biomarkers and the prognostic value of IFN signature.

Methods: The ASSESS cohort is a 20-year prospective cohort of SjD patients.

HSP mRNA sequences and their expression under different thermal oscillation patterns and heat stress in two populations of Nodipecten subnodosus.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying thermal acclimation and heat shock responses in marine ectotherms is critical for assessing their adaptive capacity in the context of climate change and climate extremes. This study examines the expression dynamics of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the scallop Nodipecten subnodosus, shedding light on their role in thermal adaptation. Our analysis revealed the presence of several conserved functional signatures in N.

Unexplained disabling and long-lasting cough: a case report.

Background: A 51-year-old woman was referred to our department due to chronic dry cough lasting six years without an etiological diagnosis. The patient suffered from chronic deterioration in her quality of life due to a persistent cough that sounded like a barking seal.

Case Presentation: A severe form of malacia involving the inferior third of trachea and the main bronchi was diagnosed.

Are ultrasound salivary parenchymal lesions more severe in primary Sjögren patients with a longer disease duration? A cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Salivary gland ultrasound (SGUS) has an interest in primary Sjögren's disease (pSD) for diagnosis, but the evolution of parenchymal lesions over time is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the severity of ultrasound abnormalities in relation to pSD duration from the time of buccal dryness onset.

Methods: In this cross-sectional international multicentre study, patients with pSD according to the 2002 or 2016 ACR/EULAR classification criteria were included.

Plasma transfusion in the intensive care unit.

Background: Current guidelines discourage prophylactic plasma use in non-bleeding patients. This study assesses global plasma transfusion practices in the intensive care unit (ICU) and their alignment with current guidelines.

Study Design And Methods: This was a sub-study of an international, prospective, observational cohort.

Chemocatalytic Conversion of Dinitrogen to Ammonia Mediated by a Tungsten Complex.

Whereas molybdenum dinitrogen complexes have played a major role as catalytic model systems of nitrogenase, corresponding tungsten complexes were in most cases found to be catalytically inactive. Herein, we present a modified pentadentate tetrapodal (pentaPod) phosphine ligand in which two dimethylphosphine groups of the pentaPodMe (P5Me) ligand have been replaced with phospholanes (Pln). The derived molybdenum complex [Mo(N2)P5Pln] generates 22 and the analogous tungsten complex [W(N2)P5Pln] 7 equivalents of NH3 from N2 in the presence of 180 equiv.

[What you need to know about working as an occupational health nurse].

The occupational health nurse's professional attitude makes him or her a privileged contact for the workers he or she monitors. Well-trained and well-received by the occupational physician, they work to promote health and reduce occupational risks and illnesses.

[Pluridisciplinarity: revealing the political, organizational and collective issues at stake, as well as real activity].

In prevention and occupational health departments, a wide range of professionals with different legal autonomy must mobilize and lead prevention projects in a context of changing legislation, training, certification and transformation.

[Becoming an occupational health nurse].

Since March 2023, occupational health nurses have been required to have a professional license, a master's degree or an inter-university diploma. They are required to take over 200 hours of theoretical courses, and to complete one or more internships equivalent to over 100 hours.

[Occupational health nurses: towards a new profession?].

The role of the state-qualified occupational health nurse is essential in a prevention and occupational health service: wherever they work, they are recognized for their skills in the overall monitoring of employees, in prevention, and in the management of working conditions and risks. They work in close collaboration with the occupational physician and a multidisciplinary team.

[Organization of occupational health in France].

Inter-company services, and autonomous services in larger companies, aim to avoid any deterioration in workers' health, by preventing and assessing risks, advising employers and workers, and monitoring and analyzing working conditions. This is made possible by a multi-disciplinary team working in the field and providing regular support to each individual.

[A brief history of occupational medicine].

Occupational medicine has been concerned with work-related pathologies and their prevention since ancient times. It has evolved with scientific discoveries, societal changes, the establishment of health and safety authorities, better observation of working conditions and multidisciplinary organization.

[Nurses and occupational health: what are the links?].

The field of health extends to the workplace, since it is part of human life. Occupational health and prevention services work to promote health and well-being, and are attentive to the risks of illness and ill-being.

SURFBAT: a surrogate family-based association test building on large imputation reference panels.

Genotype-phenotype association tests are typically adjusted for population stratification using principal components that are estimated genome-wide. This lacks resolution when analysing populations with fine structure and/or individuals with fine levels of admixture. This can affect power and precision, and is a particularly relevant consideration when control individuals are recruited using geographic selection criteria.

A modeling approach to forecast local demographic trends in metapopulations.

Predicting animal population trajectories into the future has become a central exercise in both applied and fundamental ecology. Because demographic models classically assume population closure, they tend to provide inaccurate predictions when applied locally to interconnected subpopulations that are part of a larger metapopulation. Ideally, one should explicitly model dispersal among subpopulations, but in practice this is prevented by the difficulty of estimating dispersal rates in the wild.

A systematic review of generalization research in medical image classification.

Numerous Deep Learning (DL) classification models have been developed for a large spectrum of medical image analysis applications, which promises to reshape various facets of medical practice. Despite early advances in DL model validation and implementation, which encourage healthcare institutions to adopt them, a fundamental questions remain: how can these models effectively handle domain shift? This question is crucial to limit DL models performance degradation. Medical data are dynamic and prone to domain shift, due to multiple factors.
