Local and Systemic Risk Factors of Dental Biofilm‐Induced Gingivitis and Their Control: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT Objectives To identify local and systemic risk factors/indicators for dental biofilm‐induced gingivitis (DB‐GI) and to summarize evidence for their control. Methods A systematic review was undertaken following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Anal...

Integration of dentists into primary care teams in underserved areas: a qualitative study

Abstract Background Integrating oral health into primary care is increasingly promoted to enhance coordinated, patient-centred care, particularly in underserved areas experiencing workforce shortages. In France, multiprofessional primary care teams organised under the Société Int...

Beta Atlas: Charting Global Production of Nonconventional β − -Emitters for Targeted Radiopharmaceutical Therapy—Part 1

β-minus particle (β−)–emitting radionuclides have long been central to targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy. Interest in expanding their repertoire beyond conventional options has grown over time, as the need for radionuclides with different emission profiles and theranostic pote...

Consensus Definition for Community-acquired Pneumonia in Children Using a Delphi Approach

Background: Although community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infections in children, no standardized criteria for diagnosis exist. The objective of this study was to develop expert consensus for the diagnosis of pediatric CAP in countries with a high level of...

MiR-662 impairs C/D box snoRNA expression and rRNA 2′-O-ribose methylation marks

MiR-662 overexpression has been reported to promote breast cancer metastatic progression and to impair the expression of genes encoding for proteins involved in translation, ribosome biogenesis and ribosome processing (Puppo et al., 2023); however, the relationship between miR-66...

Effects of Maximal Concentric Contractions on Myotendinous Mechanical Properties in Prepubertal Boys

ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the effects of a fatiguing concentric exercise on the myotendinous mechanical properties of the knee extensors between men and prepubertal boys. Ten prepubertal boys and 10 men performed a fatiguing exercise consisting of five sets of 20 maxim...

A single-cell atlas of large B cell lymphomas reveals distinct malignant archetypes predictive of clinical outcomes

Large B cell lymphomas (LBCLs) exhibit significant heterogeneity which leads to disparate treatment response, with up to 40% of patients developing refractory disease or relapsing within the first two years. To understand the cellular and molecular basis of this heterogeneity, we...

A CCNA1 Missense Variant Associated With Chromatid Non‐Disjunction in Abnormal‐Headed Sperm and Male Infertility

BACKGROUND: Macrozoospermia is a rare form of teratozoospermia characterized by tetraploids, large-headed spermatozoa with multiple flagella, usually caused by bi-allelic AURKC mutations. The etiology of atypical phenotypes with a lower proportion of large headed spermatozoa and...

Zileuton protects pancreatic stellate cells from oxidative stress and ferroptosis by modulating the Nrf2 pathway and mitochondrial activity

Abstract Lipoxygenases exhibit a leading role in cancer development and growth. Additionally, pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are pivotal in the formation of fibrotic tissue in pancreatic tumors. In this work, we have studied the effects of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor,...

Daratumumab in Combination With High‐Dose Cytarabine and Amsacrine as an Effective Salvage Therapy and Bridge to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Refractory T‐Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Case Report

ABSTRACT Patients with refractory or relapsed T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R T‐ALL) have dismal outcomes. While immunotherapies are growing opportunities for B‐cell ALL, targeted therapies for T‐ALL remain limited. The CD38 antigen, steadily expressed on T‐ALL blasts, r...

In-host adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus during recurrent prosthetic joint infections: a retrospective longitudinal study

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to characterize the in vivo evolution of Staphylococcus aureus strains involved in recurrent prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) both phenotypically and genomically. We conducted a monocentric retrospective study in a 1,437-bed French teaching ho...

Artificial Intelligence‐Guided Phenotypic Drug Repurposing Against Streptococcus pneumoniae

ABSTRACT The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within the common bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae makes it a priority for the development of new antibiotics. While artificial intelligence (AI) has recently boosted phenotype‐based repurposing of drugs for oth...

Data-driven mean-field within whole-brain models

Mean-field models provide a link between microscopic neuronal activity and macroscopic brain dynamics. Their derivation depends on simplifying assumptions, such as all-to-all connectivity, limiting their biological realism. Here, we introduce a data-driven framework in which a mu...

A Baltimore-modified non-TBI conditioning for allogeneic stem cell transplantation in elderly or unfit patients with haploidentical or mismatched donors

Abstract Background: The Baltimore conditioning regimen is nowadays one of the most used reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, although access to total body irradiation (TBI) may be challenging in some centers. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome...

Auditing sex/gender disparities in emergency triage with LLM-based paired comparisons

We present a domain-agnostic paired-comparison approach that uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to quantify sex/gender-related asymmetries in documented clinical decision-making. The method trains an LLM to emulate observed decisions, then evaluates sex-swapped pairs in which only...

Silent signals: how bodily cues and age influence speech adaptation

Abstract Do real-time visual cues of listening effort and expectations on the listener's perceived age drive speech adaptations? In experiment 1, young adults read sentences to a listener shown via a head-mounted display. Participants were told their voices were heard under noisy...

Mental health and learning conditions among French physiotherapy students: a nationwide cross-sectional study of individual, educational and contextual factors

Learning conditions in health professions education may be associated with students’ mental health and academic experience. Physiotherapy training combines academic, clinical and relational demands, yet nationwide evidence on potentially modifiable educational factors remains lim...

First characterization of Staphylococcus felis in diabetic foot osteomyelitis: from intracellular persistence to phage treatment

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus felis is a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) primarily associated with the feline microbiota and only rarely reported in human disease. Here, we report its implication in diabetic foot osteomyelitis, and provide the first comprehensive characterizat...

210Pbex in lacustrine sediments: A half-century global synthesis (1977-2024)

Unsupported 210 Pb ( 210 Pb ex ) is a naturally occurring radionuclide widely used to establish sediment chronologies spanning the past ∼150 years, thereby providing high-resolution temporal frameworks for palaeolimnological reconstructions. Since the late 1970s, numerous hypothe...

SPEF1 mediates assembly of central pair microtubule complexes in cilia of Tetrahymena

SPEF1 is a conserved calponin-homology domain protein that decorates the seam of central pair microtubules in the distal segment of motile cilia. Here, we show that in the ciliate Tetrahymena, loss of SPEF1 disrupts the central pair throughout the middle segment, which comprises...
