Reference Ranges and Distribution of Placental Volume by 3-Dimensional Virtual Organ Computer-Aided Analysis Between 11 Weeks and 13 Weeks 6 Days

2013

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility, reproducibility, and distribution of placental volume measurements according to the crown-rump length between 11 weeks and 13 weeks 6 days. METHODS Images were acquired in 128 pregnancies followed in Burgundy during first-trimester screening sonography using an abdominal 3-dimensional transducer. The placental volume was then calculated by the virtual organ computer-aided analysis method with a rotation angle of 30° by a single operator. RESULTS Placental volumes ranged from 33.3 to 107.6 cm(3) with a mean ± SD of 62.3 ± 14.8 cm(3); the 5th and 10th percentiles were 38.0 and 44.20 cm(3), respectively, whereas the 90th an…

Pneumococcus infections: Is the burden still as heavy?

2012

EA MERS CT3 Enjeu 3; International audience; The death rate of invasive pneumococcal infections decreased by 100 fold in one century. This tremendous improvement was due mainly to antibiotic use and multiple attempts at antipneumococcal vaccinations; thus, this was true only for developed countries. However, in France, the incidence has increased, over the last 10 years, in all age classes except for children vaccinated by the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. The incidence of these infections remains high, when associated to some risk factors such as HIV infection, malignant blood diseases, solid cancers, bronchial diseases, or alcohol abuse. The pneumococcal vaccine should be pr…

About invasive cervical cancer: a French population based study between 1998 and 2010

2015

Abstract Objectives The new French cancer plan provides the implementation of organized screening. To make an assessment of the situation, we aim to describe clinical, tumor and survival characteristics of patients with invasive cervical cancer. Study design Data on women suffering from invasive cervical cancer and diagnosed from 1998 to 2010 were provided by the Cote d’Or breast cancer registry. Survival was described using the Kaplan–Meier method and prognostic factors of survival were estimated in a Cox proportional hazard model. Results On the whole, 1019 cancers have been collected including 311 (30.5%) invasive ones. The peak incidence was between 40 and 49 years, with an average age …

The Respect of Recommendations Provided in an International Travelers' Medical Service: Far From the Cup to the Lips

2013

Equipe plutôt EA Pôle MERS CT3 EJ3; Background: It is not clearly known how frequently the recommendations given to travelers are followed, and what factors could encourage compliance with these recommended measures. Methods: Adults consulting at a Medical Department for International Travelers (International Travelers' Medical Services, ITMS) in October and November 2010 were asked to answer a questionnaire before their journey. They were also contacted for a post-travel telephone interview to determine whether they had followed the recommendations regarding vaccinations and malaria prevention, and the reasons for poor or noncompliance with these recommendations. Results A total of 353 tra…

Time Course of Neuromuscular Alterations during a Prolonged Running Exercise

2004

PLACE, N., R. LEPERS, G. DELEY, and G. Y. MILLET. Time Course of Neuromuscular Alterations during a Prolonged Running Exercise. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 36, No. 8, pp. 1347–1356, 2004. Purpose: This study investigated the time course of contractile and neural alterations of knee extensor (KE) muscles during a long-duration running exercise. Methods: Nine well-trained triathletes and endurance runners sustained 55% of their maximal aerobic velocity (MAV) on a motorized treadmill for a period of 5 h. Maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), maximal voluntary activation level (%VA), and electrically evoked contractions (single and tetanic stimulations) of KE muscles were evaluated before, aft…

Breastfeeding initiation and duration in France: The importance of intergenerational and previous maternal breastfeeding experiences — results from t…

2019

International audience; OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of the mother's mother and mothers' previous personal experiences with breastfeeding and childcare in breastfeeding practices. DESIGN AND SETTING: The analysis included 13,774 mother-infant dyads from the French national birth cohort ELFE. Feeding practices were assessed by face-to-face interview in maternity wards in 2011, by phone interviews at months 2 and 12 post-partum and by Internet/paper questionnaires monthly from months 3-10. Sociodemographic, maternal and newborn-related factors were collected in the maternity unit and by postnatal phone interview at month 2. Multivariable logistic and linear regression was used to assess the …

‘Debating “l’esthéticisme” and “l’esthétisme “ in (some) French Periodicals’

2018

Starting with the two competing translations of aestheticism (esthétisme and estheticisme), this article is devoted to retracing the complex reception of the English term in various French journalistic writings between 1880 and 1900. I follow the semantic vicissitudes of the two terms and their cognates, ‘esthète’ and ‘esthétique’, as they circulated in public discourse through the press and magazines. In France, British aestheticism appears at first not to have been strictly differentiated from Pre-Raphaelitism, the latest developments of which were also percolating in the 1870s and 1880s in the sections of specific press and magazines.I pay less attention to the already well-documented re…

Étude comparative des politiques éducatives d'inclusion en France et en Afrique subsaharienne

2010

Ce travail présente un projet de recherche, en cours de réalisation, sur la comparaison entre les politiques éducatives d'inclusion des enfants en situation d'handicap en France et dans deux pays d'Afrique subsaharienne : l'Éthiopie et le Cameroun. Il s'intéresse à l'étude mécanismes mis en place par ces politiques nationales pour favoriser l'insertion, le développement et la réussite scolaire de ces enfants. Les résultats de l'étude exploratoire réalisée en Éthiopie ont montré que l'appropriation du concept d'éducation inclusive et la mise en ouvre effective d'une politique d'inclusion connaissent des limites, en dépit de la prise en compte des besoins éducatifs spéciaux dans le plan de dé…
