Epidemiology of myasthenia gravis in France: Incidence, prevalence, and comorbidities based on national healthcare insurance claims data
CONCLUSION: The incidence and prevalence rates of MG are significantly higher than those previously reported in the literature and the incidence increases with age. The excess risk of cancer raises concerns for MG patients, in particular, concerning the management of immunosuppressive drugs.PMID:38582663 | DOI:10.1016/j.neurol.2024.02.392 (Source: Revue Neurologique)

Impact of multiple sclerosis on employment and income: Insights from a random sample representative of private sector employees in France using longitudinal administrative data
In conclusion, this study shows that the effects of MS on the employed population in the private sector occur early in the disease course and are cumulative, and that replacement income helps to reduce the loss of resources thanks to the French health and social system.PMID:38582662 | DOI:10.1016/j.neurol.2024.02.389 (Source: Revue Neurologique)

Childhood trauma and alcohol misuse in college students: The moderating role of minimization
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that a tendency to minimize threatening childhood events may specifically be related to increased risk of greater alcohol misuse among college students. Therefore, it may be important for clinician to assess minimization of early events in students with a history of childhood trauma.PMID:38581770 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2024.106749 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Outbreak of carbapenemase-producing < em > Citrobacter farmeri < /em > in an intensive care haematology department linked to a persistent wastewater reservoir in one hospital room, France, 2019 to 2022
Euro Surveill. 2024 Apr;29(14). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.14.2300386.ABSTRACTIn 2019-2022, a prolonged outbreak of oxacillinase (OXA)-48-producing Citrobacter farmeri due to a persistent environmental contamination, occurred in our haematology intensive care unit. In April 2019, we isolated OXA-48-producing C. farmeri from rectal samples of two patients in weekly screenings. The cases had stayed in the same hospital room but 4 months apart. We screened five patients who had stayed in this room between the two cases and identified a third case. Over the following 3 years, five other cases were detected, the last cas...

Live birth rates after breast cancer among women who desired a child
DISCUSSION: The non-negligible proportion of live births following spontaneous pregnancy after breast cancer allows us to be reassuring for patients. However, the emergence of new chemotherapy protocols whose consequences on long-term gonadotoxicity are still not well known requires further studies and prompts the promotion of fertility preservation as a precautionary measure.PMID:38580527 | DOI:10.1016/j.bulcan.2024.02.005 (Source: Bulletin du Cancer)

Sociotropy and video game playing: Massively multiplayer online role-playing games versus other games
DISCUSSION: MMORPG players reported higher psychological distress than players of other game genres. For all players, sociotropy, rather than autonomy, was found to be a predictor of social anxiety symptoms and IGD intensity. Sociotropy and depression explained IGD intensity only for MMORPG players and not for players of other game genres. The social dimension appears to be more prominent among MMORPG players and could be one of the main personality traits predicting this specific internet gaming disorder. The treatment implications for internet gaming disorder are discussed.PMID:38580529 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2024.01.005 ...

Use of metamizole and other non-opioid analgesics in Switzerland between 2014 and 2019: an observational study using a large health insurance claims database
CONCLUSION: In Switzerland, metamizole was increasingly claimed between 2014 and 2019. Metamizole was most frequently claimed by older adults and patients with comedications suggestive of underlying conditions, which can be worsened or caused by use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The lack of studies regarding the effectiveness and safety of metamizole in this population warrants further investigation.PMID:38579298 | DOI:10.57187/s.3535 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)

Exposure of the general French population to metals and metalloids in 2014-2016: Results from the Esteban study
CONCLUSIONS: Esteban provided a nationwide description of 28 metal and metalloid exposure levels for adults (some never measured before) and for the first time in children. The study results highlighted widespread exposure to several metals and metalloids. These results could be used to advocate public health decisions for continued efforts to reduce harmful exposure to toxic metals. The Reference values (RV95) built from Esteban could also be used to support future government strategies.PMID:38579993 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118744 (Source: Environmental Research)
