This article presents data measured in 44 farms covering a range of cropping practices, soil, and production parameters under contrasted types of crop management: conventional and conservation agriculture. Eighty-six winter wheat fields in Northwestern France were monitored for two growing seasons (2021-2023). The dataset encompasses data about cropping practices (tillage, soil cover, rotation, pesticide use, nutrition), soils (chemical, biological, and physical parameters, including texture), and grain production (nutritional, technological, and sanitary indicators).

Haptic coordination: Squeezing a vibrating stress ball decreases anxiety and arousal.

Hum Mov Sci

August 2024

Center for Studies and Research on Health Psychopathology and Psychology (CERPPS), University of Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès, Toulouse, France; University of Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France.

We evaluated the effect of haptic coordination on anxiety and arousal. Participants looked at a stressful or calming image and then repeatedly squeezed a vibrating stress ball for 20 s. Using a pre-post paradigm with a control group, we showed that squeezing the vibrating ball reduced anxiety and arousal, as assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and electrodermal activity, respectively.

Differential DNA methylation in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons: a step forward on the role of SNORD116 microdeletion in the pathophysiology of addictive behavior in Prader-Willi syndrome.

Mol Psychiatry

September 2024

Centre de Référence National du Syndrome de Prader-Willi et Syndromes avec Troubles du Comportement Alimentaire, Unité d'Endocrinologie, Hôpital des Enfants, Institut des Handicaps Neurologiques, Psychiatriques et Sensoriels, CHU de Toulouse; Infinity Center, Inserm CNRS UMR1291, University of Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France.

Article Synopsis
  • A microdeletion involving the SNORD116 gene is linked to Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), which presents with symptoms like intellectual disability, emotional dysregulation, and food-related behaviors resembling addiction.
  • The study investigates DNA methylation and gene expression differences in dopaminergic neurons from individuals with the SNORD116 microdeletion compared to healthy controls, also examining the influence of oxytocin (OXT).
  • Findings reveal over 153,000 differentially methylated cytosines, with changes in genes related to the dopaminergic system, including hypermethylation and under-expression of COMT and hypomethylation and over-expression of SLC6A3 in neurons with SNORD116 MD.

Behavioral parent training (BPT) is recognized as an effective part of the care offered to children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The aim of this pilot study was to objectively examine the effect that this intervention may have on motor activity, in addition to the measures classically found in this type of study. Parents of 24 school-aged children (6-12 year) with ADHD who met eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study.

Background: All guidelines for the treatment of ADHD in children include behavioral parent training in combination with other strategies. In the past, several systematic reviews have been carried out that were either outdated or not sufficiently specific to ADHD. We wanted to conduct a new review focusing on a specific ADHD population of school age (4-12 years) and on behavioral and cognitive programs.

We have developed a haptic dynamic clamp dedicated to the regulation of arousal. It takes the form of a vibrating stress ball to be squeezed, called Viball, controlled by Righetti's nonlinear adaptive Hopf oscillator. Participants squeezed an adaptive Viball which adapts its frequency of vibration to the current frequency of human squeezing.

Objectives: To update the French guidelines on the management of trauma patients with spinal cord injury or suspected spinal cord injury.

Design: A consensus committee of 27 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the outset of the process and enforced throughout.

Background: Evidences support social inequalities in cancer survival. Studies on hematological malignancies, and more specifically Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), are sparser. Our study assessed: 1/ the influence of patients' socioeconomic position on survival, 2/ the role of treatment in this relationship, and 3/ the influence of patients' socioeconomic position on treatment utilization.

Is early management of psychosis designed for migrants? Improving transcultural variable collection when measuring duration of untreated psychosis.

Early Interv Psychiatry

June 2019

Maison de Solenn, Maison des Adolescents - Integrated Youth Friendly Health Service, Cochin Hospital, Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP), Paris, France.

Aim: A background of migration is an established risk factor for psychosis. At the same time, over the last 25 years, many countries have developed specialized services for the assessment and care of people with early psychosis. Evaluation of these services often focuses on the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP).
