Consequences of In Utero Zika Virus Exposure and Adverse Pregnancy and Early Childhood Outcomes: A Prospective Cohort Study.

We aimed to describe adverse pregnancy outcomes among women who had symptomatic, RT-PCR-confirmed ZIKV infection and early childhood outcomes among their infants. We enrolled pregnant women with symptomatic, RT-PCR-confirmed ZIKV infection in a prospective cohort study, and their infants in a prospective pediatric cohort study. We defined adverse pregnancy and early childhood outcomes based on selected neurologic, ophthalmologic, auditory, musculoskeletal, and anthropometric abnormalities.

[Differences between hypertension in Metropolitan France compared to Overseas France Departments and Regions (DOM-ROM)].

Background: High blood pressure (HBP) is the most common chronic disease worldwide. In France, its prevalence varies by region. It is high in most Overseas Departments and Regions (DOM-ROM), at 38.

Severity of manchineel fruit (Hippomane mancinella) poisoning: A retrospective case series of 97 patients from French Poison Control Centers.

In this retrospective series of 97 cases of manchineel fruit ingestion reported to French Poison Control Centers between 2009 and 2017, we investigated cases of poisoning due to manchineel fruit (from the Hippomane mancinella tree). This fruit is known to be responsible for oropharyngeal and gastrointestinal tract lesions and possibly hypotension and bradycardia (previously attributed to the presence of physostigmine). The most commonly observed clinical signs were oropharyngeal pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea and oropharyngeal irritation.

Angiostrongylus costaricensis infection in Martinique, Lesser Antilles, from 2000 to 2017.

Human abdominal angiostrongyliasis (HAA) is a parasitic disease caused by the accidental ingestion of the nematode Angiostrongylus costaricensis in its larval form. Human infection can lead to severe ischemic and inflammatory intestinal lesions, sometimes complicated by life-threatening ileal perforations. Only one case had been reported in Martinique, an Island in the French Antilles, in 1988.

First Evidence of Angiostrongyliasis Caused by in Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles.

Infection by the rat lungworm represents the most common cause of infectious eosinophilic meningitis in humans, causing central nervous system (CNS) angiostrongyliasis. Most of CNS angiostrongyliasis cases were described in Asia, Pacific Basin, Australia, and some limited parts of Africa and America. CNS angiostrongyliasis has been reported in the Caribbean but never in the Lesser Antilles.

Causal Attribution of Breast Cancer by Survivors in French West Indies.

Patients frequently ask about the cause of their breast cancer. To answer, physicians refer to breast cancer risk factors based on medical reports. We aim to assess these risk factors for the point of view of survivors, a point of view which seems to differ from that of medical references.

Temporal trends and risks factors for antimicrobial resistant Enterobacteriaceae urinary isolates from outpatients in Guadeloupe.

Background: Urinary tract infections are bacterial infections most commonly encountered in the community. The resistance rate of uropathogens to commonly prescribed antibiotics has increased worldwide but there are no published data concerning the resistance of strains isolated from community-acquired UTI in Guadeloupe. To assess the susceptibility patterns of Enterobacteriaceae strains isolated from outpatients in Guadeloupe we conducted a prospective study from December 2012 to May 2014 among outpatients consulting at private and public laboratories for urine analysis.

[Precariousness, cardiovascular risk in the afro-Caribbean population of Saint-Martin. Data from the study CONSANT-SM].

Objective: The objective is to describe the prevalence of arterial hypertension (hypertension) and cardiovascular risk factors (FDR) and specify their association with the socio-economic factors in a collectivity of Saint-Martin.

Material And Methods: CONSANT-SM is a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out on a representative sample of 400 people. The data collection was conducted by investigators at home.

[P3S: Secured fitness trail set up in Guadeloupe, a tool to fight against physical inactivity: A device that has proved itself].

Objective: The objective is to introduce an original device already set up in Guadeloupe, the P3S: it is a secured fitness trail; it aims to raise awareness of the harmful effects of physical inactivity and to fight against physical inactivity.

Material And Methods: The P3S device was financed by the Regional Council of Guadeloupe and includes: (1) a first space to perform a warm-up and gymnastics; (2) the route to the market; (3) 8 physical activity workshops. Coaching by educators sportsmen and teachers of activity physics adapted is proposed, provided by the ARS of Guadeloupe.

[Hypertension and cardiovascular risk associated with obstructive sleep apnea in adult in Guadeloupe (French West Indies)].

Background And Purpose: In Guadeloupe, data on the relationships between arterial hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea are unavailable. The aim of this study was: to assess the frequency of hypertension and non-dipper pattern evaluated by 48-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in an adult population identified obstructive sleep apnea/non-obstructive sleep apnea during overnight polygraphy ; to determine the cardio-metabolic factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea.

Design And Method: A cross-sectional study was realized at Pointe-à-Pitre Hospital.

[Assessment at distance of a self-measurement of blood pressure education program: The PEA].

Current recommendations advocate self-measurement of blood pressure (SMBP) for the diagnosis and monitoring of high blood pressure (HBP). The "PEA" is an education program of the HTA GWAD network. Its mission is to train hypertensive patients with SMBP.

[Hemihypertrophy and scoliosis revealing a Chiari 1 malformation with syringomyelia].

We report the case of a 9-year-old boy with progressive thoracic scoliosis and crossed hemihypertrophy who was discovered with a Chiari 1 malformation and syringomyelia. These disorders are connected by complex physiopathological mechanisms; their association deserves attention. This observation reviews the importance of the clinical examination, particularly the neurological exam, in childhood scoliosis.

[Treatment of hypertension in Guadeloupe (FWI) in 2005: Pretrahguad study].

Objectives: To estimate life style and drug therapy for treatment of hypertension in Guadeloupe (FWI) in 2005, and to compare the data with those obtained in a similar study realised in France metropolitan population in 2004.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of a sample of 509 subjects selected as being representative of the Guadeloupe population for age (35 years and above), gender, socioeconomic status, and place of living. Subjects who declare to take an antihypertensive medication were classified as treated hypertensive patients.
