Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project, led by an international collaboration of institutes, aims to create the world's largest next generation observatory for Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy. It will be devoted to observations in a wide band of energy, from a few tens of GeV to a few hundreds of TeV with Large, Medium and Small-sized telescopes. The Small-Size Telescopes (SSTs) are dedicated to the highest energy range above a few TeV and up to 300 TeV. GCT is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (IACT) proposed for the subarray of about 70 SSTs to be installed on the Southern site of CTA in Chile. The Observatory of Paris and the National Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU/CNRS) have developed the mechanical structure, mirrors (aspherical lightweight aluminium segments) and control system of the GCT. The GCT is based on a Schwarzschild- Couder (S-C) dual-mirror optical design which has the advantages, compared to the current IACTs, to offer a wide field of view (~ 9{\deg}) while decreasing the cost and volume (~ 9 m x 4 m x 6 m for ~ 11 tons) of the telescope structure, as well as the camera. The prototype (pGCT) has been installed at the Meudon's site of the Observatory of Paris and was the first S-C telescope and the first CTA prototype to record VHE events on-sky in November 2015. After three years of intensive testing, pGCT has now been commissioned. This paper is a status report on the complete GCT telescope optical system and the performance it can provide for CTA., Comment: Proceeding of the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2019), July 24th - August 1st, 2019, Madison, WI, U.S.A

Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the major next-generation observatory for ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. It will improve the sensitivity of current ground-based instruments by a factor of five to twenty, depending on the energy, greatly improving both their angular and energy resolutions over four decades in energy (from 20 GeV to 300 TeV). This achievement will be possible by using tens of imaging Cherenkov telescopes of three successive sizes. They will be arranged into two arrays, one per hemisphere, located on the La Palma island (Spain) and in Paranal (Chile). We present here the optimised and final telescope arrays for both CTA sites, as well as their foreseen performance, resulting from the analysis of three different large-scale Monte Carlo productions., Comment: 48 pages, 16 figures, accepted for publication in Astroparticle Physics

Abstract: The Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC) is a camera design for the Small-Sized Telescopes (SSTs; 4 m diameter mirror) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The SSTs are focused on very-high-energy $\gamma$-ray detection via atmospheric Cherenkov light detection over a very large area. This implies many individual units and hence cost-effective implementation. CHEC relies on dual-mirror optics to reduce the plate-scale and make use of 6 $\times$ 6 mm$^2$ pixels, leading to a low-cost ($\sim$150 kEuro), compact (0.5 m $\times$ 0.5 m), and light ($\sim$45 kg) camera with 2048 pixels providing a camera FoV of $\sim$9 degrees. The electronics are based on custom TARGET (TeV array readout with GSa/s sampling and event trigger) ASICs and FPGAs sampling incoming signals at a gigasample per second, with flexible camera-level triggering within a single backplane FPGA. CHEC is designed to observe in the $\gamma$-ray energy range of 1$-$300 TeV, and at impact distances up to $\sim$500 m. To accommodate this and provide full flexibility for later data analysis, full waveforms with 96 samples for all 2048 pixels can be read out at rates up to $\sim$900 Hz. The first prototype, CHEC-M, based on multi-anode photomultipliers (MAPMs) as photosensors, was commissioned and characterised in the laboratory and during two measurement campaigns on a telescope structure at the Paris Observatory in Meudon. In this paper, the results and conclusions from the laboratory and on-site testing of CHEC-M are presented. They have provided essential input on the system design and on operational and data analysis procedures for a camera of this type. A second full-camera prototype based on Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), addressing the drawbacks of CHEC-M identified during the first prototype phase, has already been built and is currently being commissioned and tested in the laboratory.

Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array, CTA, will be the major global observatory for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. The scientific potential of CTA is extremely broad: from understanding the role of relativistic cosmic particles to the search for dark matter. CTA is an explorer of the extreme universe, probing environments from the immediate neighbourhood of black holes to cosmic voids on the largest scales. Covering a huge range in photon energy from 20 GeV to 300 TeV, CTA will improve on all aspects of performance with respect to current instruments. The observatory will operate arrays on sites in both hemispheres to provide full sky coverage and will hence maximize the potential for the rarest phenomena such as very nearby supernovae, gamma-ray bursts or gravitational wave transients. With 99 telescopes on the southern site and 19 telescopes on the northern site, flexible operation will be possible, with sub-arrays available for specific tasks. CTA will have important synergies with many of the new generation of major astronomical and astroparticle observatories. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger approaches combining CTA data with those from other instruments will lead to a deeper understanding of the broad-band non-thermal properties of target sources. The CTA Observatory will be operated as an open, proposal-driven observatory, with all data available on a public archive after a pre-defined proprietary period. Scientists from institutions worldwide have combined together to form the CTA Consortium. This Consortium has prepared a proposal for a Core Programme of highly motivated observations. The programme, encompassing approximately 40% of the available observing time over the first ten years of CTA operation, is made up of individual Key Science Projects (KSPs), which are presented in this document., Comment: 213 pages, including references and glossary.

6. Exact reconstruction with directional wavelets on the sphere

Author: Wiaux, Y., McEwen, J. D., Vandergheynst, P., and Blanc, O.
Subjects: Astrophysics
Abstract: A new formalism is derived for the analysis and exact reconstruction of band-limited signals on the sphere with directional wavelets. It represents an evolution of the wavelet formalism developed by Antoine & Vandergheynst (1999) and Wiaux et al. (2005). The translations of the wavelets at any point on the sphere and their proper rotations are still defined through the continuous three-dimensional rotations. The dilations of the wavelets are directly defined in harmonic space through a new kernel dilation, which is a modification of an existing harmonic dilation. A family of factorized steerable functions with compact harmonic support which are suitable for this kernel dilation is firstly identified. A scale discretized wavelet formalism is then derived, relying on this dilation. The discrete nature of the analysis scales allows the exact reconstruction of band-limited signals. A corresponding exact multi-resolution algorithm is finally described and an implementation is tested. The formalism is of interest notably for the denoising or the deconvolution of signals on the sphere with a sparse expansion in wavelets. In astrophysics, it finds a particular application for the identification of localized directional features in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data, such as the imprint of topological defects, in particular cosmic strings, and for their reconstruction after separation from the other signal components., Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures.

Abstract: International audience; Parenting is a central life experience that could promote recovery in people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). It could also be challenging for parents with SMI and result in poor recovery-related outcomes. Parenting is often overlooked in psychiatric rehabilitation. The objectives of the present study were to identify the characteristics and needs for care of mothers and fathers with SMI enrolled in a multicentric non-selected psychiatric rehabilitation SMI sample. We consecutively recruited 1436 outpatients from the French National Centers of Reference for Psychiatric Rehabilitation cohort (REHABase). The evaluation included standardized scales for clinical severity, psychosocial function, quality of life and satisfaction with life, wellbeing, personal recovery and a broad cognitive battery. We found that parenting was associated to suicidal history in mothers and fathers with SMI. In the multivariate analysis, being mother was best explained by insight (p

Abstract: Recovery is a multidimensional construct that can be defined either from a clinical perspective or from a consumer-focused one, as a self-broadening process aimed at living a meaningful life beyond mental illness. We aimed to longitudinally examine the overlap and mutual distinctions between clinical and personal recovery. Of 1239 people with schizophrenia consecutively recruited from the FondaMental Advanced Centers of Expertise for SZ network, the 507 present at one-year did not differ from those lost to follow-up. Clinical recovery was defined as the combination of clinical remission and functional remission. Personal recovery was defined as being in the rebuilding or in the growth stage of the Stages of Recovery Instrument (STORI). Full recovery was defined as the combination of clinical recovery and personal recovery. First, we examined the factors at baseline associated with each aspect of recovery. Then, we conducted multivariable models on the correlates of stable clinical recovery, stable personal recovery, and stable full recovery after one year. At baseline, clinical recovery and personal recovery were characterized by distinct patterns of outcome (i.e. better objective outcomes but no difference in subjective outcomes for clinical recovery, the opposite pattern for personal recovery, and better overall outcomes for full recovery). We found that clinical recovery and personal recovery predicted each other over time (baseline personal recovery for stable clinical recovery at one year; P = .026, OR = 4.94 [1.30–23.0]; baseline clinical recovery for stable personal recovery at one year; P = .016, OR = 3.64 [1.31–11.2]). In short, given the interaction but also the degree of difference between clinical recovery and personal recovery, psychosocial treatment should target, beyond clinical recovery, subjective aspects such as personal recovery and depression to reach full recovery.

Abstract: International audience; The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is one of the telescopes proposed for the Small Sized Telescope (SST) section of CTA. Based on a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder design, which allows for more compact telescopes and cameras than the usual single-mirror designs, it will be equipped with a Compact High-Energy Camera (CHEC) based on silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). In 2015, the GCT prototype was the first dual-mirror telescope constructed in the prospect of CTA to record Cherenkov light on the night sky. Further tests and observations have been performed since then. This report describes the current status of the GCT, the results of tests performed to demonstrate its compliance with CTA requirements, and the optimisation of the design for mass production. The GCT collaboration, including teams from Australia, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, plans to install the first telescopes on site in Chile for 2019-2020 as part of the CTA pre-production phase.

15. Self-stigma in serious mental illness and autism spectrum disorder: Results from the REHABase national psychiatric rehabilitation cohort.

Author: Dubreucq, J., Plasse, J., Gabayet, F., Faraldo, M., Blanc, O., Chereau, I., Cervello, S., Couhet, G., Demily, C., Guillard-Bouhet, N., Gouache, B., Jaafari, N., Legrand, G., Legros-Lafarge, E., Pommier, R., Quilès, C., Straub, D., Verdoux, H., Vignaga, F., and Massoubre, C.
Subjects: AUTISM spectrum disorders, MENTAL illness, LIFE satisfaction, REHABILITATION, ATTEMPTED suicide
Abstract: Background. Self-stigma is a major issue in serious mental illness (SMI) and is negatively associated with patient outcomes. Most studies have been conducted in schizophrenia (SZ). Less is known about self-stigma in other SMI and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objectives of this study are: (i) to assess the frequency of self-stigma in a multicentric nonselected psychiatric rehabilitation SMI and ASD sample; and (ii) to investigate the correlates of elevated self-stigma in different SMI conditions and in ASD. Methods. A total of 738 SMI or ASD outpatients were recruited from the French National Centers of Reference for Psychiatric Rehabilitation cohort (REHABase). Evaluations included sociodemographic data, illness characteristics, and standardized scales for clinical severity, quality of life, satisfaction with life, wellbeing, personal recovery, a large cognitive battery, and daily functioning assessment. Results. 31.2%of the total sample had elevated self-stigma. The highest prevalence (43.8%) was found in borderline personality disorder and the lowest (22.2%) in ASD. In the multivariate analysis, elevated self-stigma was best predicted by early stages of personal recovery (moratorium, p = 0.001, OR = 4.0 [1.78-8.98]; awareness, p = 0.011, OR = 2.87 [1.28-6.44]), history of suicide attempt (p = 0.001, OR = 2.27 [1.37-3.76]), insight (p = 0.002, OR = 1.22 [1.08-1.38]), wellbeing (p = 0.037, OR = 0.77 [0.60-0.98]), and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships (p < 0.001, OR = 0.85 [0.78-0.93]). Conclusions. The present study has confirmed the importance of addressing self-stigma in SMI and ASD patients enrolled in psychiatric rehabilitation. The effectiveness of psychiatric rehabilitation on self-stigma and the potential mediating effects of changes in self-stigma on treatment outcomes should be further investigated.

16. Exact reconstruction with directional wavelets on the sphere

Author: Wiaux, Y., McEwen, J. D., Vandergheynst, P., Blanc, O., Wiaux, Y., McEwen, J. D., Vandergheynst, P., and Blanc, O.
Abstract: A new formalism is derived for the analysis and exact reconstruction of band-limited signals on the sphere with directional wavelets. It represents an evolution of a previously developed wavelet formalism developed by Antoine & Vandergheynst and Wiaux et al. The translations of the wavelets at any point on the sphere and their proper rotations are still defined through the continuous three-dimensional rotations. The dilations of the wavelets are directly defined in harmonic space through a new kernel dilation, which is a modification of an existing harmonic dilation. A family of factorized steerable functions with compact harmonic support which are suitable for this kernel dilation are first identified. A scale-discretized wavelet formalism is then derived, relying on this dilation. The discrete nature of the analysis scales allows the exact reconstruction of band-limited signals. A corresponding exact multi-resolution algorithm is finally described and an implementation is tested. The formalism is of interest notably for the denoising or the deconvolution of signals on the sphere with a sparse expansion in wavelets. In astrophysics, it finds a particular application for the identification of localized directional features in the cosmic microwave background data, such as the imprint of topological defects, in particular, cosmic strings, and for their reconstruction after separation from the other signal components

17. Morphological characterization of native populations of sideoat grama [Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr.] in Mexico = Caracterizacion morfologica de poblaciones nativas de pasto banderita [Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr.] en Mexico

Subjects: Morphological variability, Principal components, Bouteloua curtipendula, Morphological descriptors
Abstract: The morphological descriptors involve the management of attributes to carry out breeding of forage species. The objectives of the present study were to explore (he morphological diversity of native populations of sideoat grama [Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.) Torr.] and to evaluate its principal morphological characteristics. To this effect, 177 ecotypes were qualified and analyzed at the moment of flowering by means of 14 quantitative morphological descriptors to know and define the population structure. The data were analyzed using principal components (PCA) and hierarchic analysis of conglomerates (HAC). There was a high morphological variability among ecotypes. The first three components (PC) explained 63.3% of the total variation observed. For PC1, the most important variables were length of inflorescence, stein diameter at the base and at the mean height of the tillers; for PC2, tiller density, forage height and plant height, and in PC3, branch length, length of the inflorescence of the rachis and number of branches. These variables contributed significantly with the highest values to explain the total variation. PCI grouped variables related to the tiller; with PC2 it was observed that the forage potential is related to tiller density and forage height; with PC3, that the length and number of branches are related to seed yield. When the HAC was applied, five groups were obtained: I with 19 ecotypes, II with 29, IV with 22 and V with 62. Ecotypes with high forage potential were detected according to their morphological variability; therefore, there is genetic wealth in sideoat grama.

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to present a method based on the continuous wavelet transform for the detection of heart rhythm perturbations called ventricular ectopic beats. Direct identification of these abrupt changes in heart rate signals is determinant for clinical prognosis since several previous studies have shown that ventricular ectopic beats are potential factors in the triggering of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The proposed method is a three-step procedure: time-warping-based preprocessing, detection using maxima of the continuous wavelet transform, and final selection of relevant patterns. Several examples of application to heart rate signals retrieved from implanted cardioverter-defibrillators are presented and illustrate the efficiency of the method.

Abstract: Singapur : WORLD SCIENTIFIC, Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) 211 pp. (2017). doi:10.1142/10986, The Cherenkov Telescope Array, CTA, will be the major global observatory for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. The scientific potential of CTA is extremely broad: from understanding the role of relativistic cosmic particles to the search for dark matter. CTA is an explorer of the extreme universe, probing environments from the immediate neighbourhood of black holes to cosmic voids on the largest scales. Covering a huge range in photon energy from 20 GeV to 300 TeV, CTA will improve on all aspects of performance with respect to current instruments. The observatory will operate arrays on sites in both hemispheres to provide full sky coverage and will hence maximize the potential for the rarest phenomena such as very nearby supernovae, gamma-ray bursts or gravitational wave transients. With 99 telescopes on the southern site and 19 telescopes on the northern site, flexible operation will be possible, with sub-arrays available for specific tasks. CTA will have important synergies with many of the new generation of major astronomical and astroparticle observatories. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger approaches combining CTA data with those from other instruments will lead to a deeper understanding of the broad-band non-thermal properties of target sources. The CTA Observatory will be operated as an open, proposal-driven observatory, with all data available on a public archive after a pre-defined proprietary period. Scientists from institutions worldwide have combined together to form the CTA Consortium. This Consortium has prepared a proposal for a Core Programme of highly motivated observations. The programme, encompassing approximately 40% of the available observing time over the first ten years of CTA operation, is made up of individual Key Science Projects (KSPs), which are presented in this document., Published by WORLD SCIENTIFIC, Singapur

24. Exact reconstruction with directional wavelets on the sphere

Author: Wiaux, Y., McEwen, J. D., Vandergheynst, P., Blanc, O., Wiaux, Y., McEwen, J. D., Vandergheynst, P., and Blanc, O.
Abstract: A new formalism is derived for the analysis and exact reconstruction of band-limited signals on the sphere with directional wavelets. It represents an evolution of a previously developed wavelet formalism developed by Antoine & Vandergheynst and Wiaux et al. The translations of the wavelets at any point on the sphere and their proper rotations are still defined through the continuous three-dimensional rotations. The dilations of the wavelets are directly defined in harmonic space through a new kernel dilation, which is a modification of an existing harmonic dilation. A family of factorized steerable functions with compact harmonic support which are suitable for this kernel dilation are first identified. A scale-discretized wavelet formalism is then derived, relying on this dilation. The discrete nature of the analysis scales allows the exact reconstruction of band-limited signals. A corresponding exact multi-resolution algorithm is finally described and an implementation is tested. The formalism is of interest notably for the denoising or the deconvolution of signals on the sphere with a sparse expansion in wavelets. In astrophysics, it finds a particular application for the identification of localized directional features in the cosmic microwave background data, such as the imprint of topological defects, in particular, cosmic strings, and for their reconstruction after separation from the other signal components

Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the major next-generation observatory for ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. It will improve the sensitivity of current ground-based instruments by a factor of five to twenty, depending on the energy, greatly improving both their angular and energy resolutions over four decades in energy (from 20 GeV to 300 TeV). This achievement will be possible by using tens of imaging Cherenkov telescopes of three successive sizes. They will be arranged into two arrays, one per hemisphere, located on the La Palma island (Spain) and in Paranal (Chile). We present here the optimised and final telescope arrays for both CTA sites, as well as their foreseen performance, resulting from the analysis of three different large-scale Monte Carlo productions.© 2019, We gratefully acknowledge financial support from the following agencies and organizations: State Committee of Science of Armenia, Armenia; The Australian Research Council, Astronomy Australia Ltd, The University of Adelaide, Australian National University, Monash University, The University of New South Wales, The University of Sydney, Western Sydney University, Australia; Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy, and Innsbruck University, Austria; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP), Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications (MCTIC), Brasil; Ministry of Education and Science, National RI Roadmap Project D01-153/28.08.2018, Bulgaria; The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canadian Space Agency, Canada; CONICYT-Chile grants PFB-06, FB0821, ACT 1406, FONDECYT-Chile grants 3160153, 3150314, 1150411, 1161463, 1170171, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile Vice-Rectory of Research internationalization grant under MINEDUC agreement PUC1566, Chile, Croatian Science Foundation, Rudjer Boskovic Institute, University of Osijek, University of Rijeka, University of Split, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, Croatia; Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, MEYS LM2015046, LTT17006 and EU/MEYS CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001403, CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/17_049/0008422, Czech Republic; Ministry of Higher Education and Research, CNRS-INSU and CNRS-IN2P3, CEA-Irfu, ANR, Regional Council Ile-de France, Labex ENIGMASS, OSUG2020, P210 and OCEVU, France; Max Planck Society, BMBF, DESY, Helmholtz Association, Germany; Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Science and Technology, India; Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), MIUR, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF-OABRERA) Grant Fondazione Cariplo/Regione Lombardia ID 2014-1980/RST_ERC, Italy; ICRR, University of Tokyo, JSPS, MEXT, Japan; Netherlands Research School for Astronomy (NOVA), Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), Netherlands; University of Oslo, Norway; Ministry of Science and Higher Education, DIR/WK/2017/12, the National Centre for Research and Development and the National Science Centre, UMO-2016/22/M/ST9/00583, Poland; Slovenian Research Agency, Slovenia, grants P1-0031, P1-0385, 10-0033, J1-9146; South African Department of Science and Technology and National Research Foundation through the South African Gamma-Ray Astronomy Programme, South Africa; MINECO National R+D+I, Severo Ochoa, Maria de Maeztu, CDTI, PAIDI, UJA, FPA2017-90566-REDC, Spain; Swedish Research Council, Royal Physiographic Society of Lund, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, The Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) at Lunarc (Lund), Sweden; Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), Ernest Boninchi Foundation, Switzerland; Durham University, Leverhulme Trust, Liverpool University, University of Leicester, University of Oxford, Royal Society, Science and Technology Facilities Council, UK; U.S. National Science Foundation, U.S.Department of Energy, Argonne National Laboratory, Barnard College, University of California, University of Chicago, Columbia University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics (INPAC-MRPI program), Iowa State University, the Smithsonian Institution, Washington University McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences, The University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, USA.

Subjects: Humans, Aged, Female, Male, Retrospective Studies, Aged, 80 and over, Electroconvulsive Therapy methods, Depressive Disorder, Major therapy, Guideline Adherence, Bipolar Disorder therapy, Practice Guidelines as Topic
Abstract: Objectives: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatments in mood disorders, mainly in major depressive episode (MDE) in the context of either unipolar (MDD) or bipolar disorder (BD). However, ECT remains a neglected and underused treatment. Older people are at high risk patients for the development of adverse drug reactions. In this context, we sought to determine the duration of MDEs and the number of lines of treatment before the initiation of ECT in patients aged 65 years or over according to the presence or absence of first-line indications for using ECT from international guidelines., Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective study including patients aged 65 years or over with MDEs in MDD or BD who have been treated with ECT for MDEs, data on the duration of MDEs and the number of lines of treatment received before ECT were collected. The reasons for using ECT, specifically first-line indications (suicidality, urgency, presence of catatonic and psychotic features, previous ECT response, patient preference) were recorded. Statistical comparisons between groups used standard statistical tests., Results: We identified 335 patients. The mean duration of MDEs before ECT was about 9 months. It was significantly shorter in BD than in MDD- about 7 and 10 months, respectively. The co-occurrence of chronic medical disease increased the duration before ECT in the MDD group. The presence of first-line indications for using ECT from guidelines did not reduce the duration of MDEs before ECT, except where there was a previous response to ECT. The first-line indications reduced the number of lines of treatment before starting ECT., Conclusion: Even if ECT seems to be a key treatment in the elderly population due to its efficacity and safety for MDEs, the delay before this treatment is still too long., (© 2024.

29. Real-time Reconstruction of Comminuted Mandibular Fractures Using 3D Printing.

Author: Shilo D, Capucha T, Krasovsky A, Blanc O, Emodi O, Haze A, and Rachmiel A
Abstract: Background: Comminuted fractures of the jaws are complex injuries requiring special attention. In the past, treatment included closed reduction using maxillomandibular fixation. With advancements in technology and fixation systems, open reduction became a prevalent option. These fractures are difficult to reconstruct during the primary treatment phase, thus resulting in higher complication rates. The introduction of three-dimensional (3D) planning and printing brought about superior outcomes, yet these focus on secondary reconstruction due to the need for outsourcing planning and titanium printing., Methods: In this report, we describe real-time in-house 3D planning and printing using computer-assisted design software and a 3D-fused deposition printer for virtual reduction of the comminuted fractures and printing of the reconstructed mandible., Results: Following virtual 3D reduction, the newly created mandibles were 3D printed. The model was then used to preband a reconstruction plate, which in turn was used as a template during surgery for reducing the segments. The process of virtual reduction and printing should take a couple of hours at most. The results of five cases showed good alignment and proper function., Conclusion: Three-dimensional technology can be applied in the everyday primary care treatment protocol of comminuted fractures as an in-house tool which greatly improves both functional and aesthetic outcomes., Competing Interests: The authors have no financial interest to declare in relation to the content of this article., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

30. Effectiveness of brief interventions in primary care for cannabis users aged from 12 to 25 years old: a systematic review.

Author: Chazal C, Roux C, Kinouani S, Schuers M, Fortin F, Pereira B, Blanc O, Piñol-Domenech N, Brousse G, Vorilhon P, and Laporte C
Subjects: Adolescent, Adult, Child, Humans, Young Adult, Crisis Intervention, Primary Health Care, Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic, Cannabis, Motivational Interviewing methods
Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of brief interventions realized in primary care in reducing cannabis use for adolescents and emerging adults., Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycInfo, and Central (Cochrane Library) were searched until December 2020. Randomized controlled trials conducted in primary care, concerning in-person brief interventions for non-medical cannabis users aged from 12 to 25 years old were eligible for inclusion. Brief interventions had to last 30 min or less. Patients with comorbid mental health disorder or very specific populations were not included., Results: One thousand eighty hundred and fifty-five studies were identified through database searching; only 8 studies involving 2,199 patients were included for qualitative synthesis after double reading and data extraction. Randomized controlled trials selected were heterogeneous regarding screening tools, initial levels of cannabis use and cannabis outcomes measures. Brief interventions were all based on motivational interviewing techniques or personalized feedback. Seven studies consisted in a single session of brief intervention. Six studies involved also other substance users. No significant reduction of cannabis use after brief intervention was found for most studies, especially in the long term. A trend of decreased cannabis consequences, such as negative psychosocial repercussions, perception of cannabis use by peers, or driving under the influence of cannabis, was reported., Conclusion: The current state of knowledge does not allow us to say that the brief intervention is effective in reducing cannabis use among adolescents in primary care. We found a mild positive effect on cannabis consequences after brief intervention. Mixed qualitative and quantitative studies are need to better evaluate the impact of brief intervention and his faisability.

31. Patient-specific Implants for Treating Atrophic Mandibles.

Author: Shilo D, Capucha T, Blanc O, Shilo Yaacobi D, Emodi O, and Rachmiel A
Abstract: Extremely atrophic mandibles are difficult to treat. Most patients choose to live with removable dentures. However, what if the atrophy is so extreme that spontaneous fractures occur? The objective of this report is to offer a single-stage augmentation method, which uses patient-specific crib-shaped implants (PSI) combined with autogenous free bone grafts. PSI were planned using three-dimensional (3D) segmentation and 3D virtual-planning software. Implants were designed according to the patient's mandible with a mesh-like structure and included large holes for allowing blood supply recovery. During surgery, the PSI fitted perfectly. In cases exhibiting malposition of the mandibular fragments, repositioning was performed using 3D virtual planning. When repositioning mandibular segments, the PSI served as a guide for the correct positioning. Iliac-crest bone graft was harvested and fixed as an onlay over the residual mandibular basal bone. External approach was used to avoid contamination. Six months following surgery, fixation wires were removed, and dental implants were positioned in the newly formed bone. The PSI allowed for rigid fixation, thus leading to optimal incorporation of the iliac-crest bone graft. No further augmentation was required. Bony continuity for future stability and secession of the spontaneous fractures was achieved. Dental implants were placed effortlessly. Treating extremely atrophic mandibles is an entity of its own and is considered one of the most challenging in craniofacial reconstruction. It mostly requires multiple operations with high rates of failure. We offer a novel method of 3D mandibular reconstruction, both vertically and horizontally, showing promising results and achieving enough bone for further dental rehabilitation., (Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

Author: Patoz MC, Hidalgo-Mazzei D, Pereira B, Blanc O, de Chazeron I, Murru A, Verdolini N, Pacchiarotti I, Vieta E, Llorca PM, and Samalin L
Abstract: Background: Despite an increasing number of available mental health apps in the bipolar disorder field, these tools remain scarcely implemented in everyday practice and are quickly discontinued by patients after downloading. The aim of this study is to explore adherence characteristics of bipolar disorder patients to dedicated smartphone interventions in research studies., Methods: A systematic review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Three databases (EMBASE, PsychInfo and MEDLINE) were searched using the following keywords: "bipolar disorder" or "mood disorder" or "bipolar" combined with "digital" or "mobile" or "phone" or "smartphone" or "mHealth" or "ehealth" or "mobile health" or "app" or "mobile-health"., Results: Thirteen articles remained in the review after exclusion criteria were applied. Of the 118 eligible studies, 39 did not provide adherence characteristics. Among the selected papers, study length, sample size and definition of measures of adherence were strongly heterogeneous. Activity rates ranged from 58 to 91.6%., Conclusion: The adherence of bipolar patients to apps is understudied. Standardised measures of adherence should be defined and systematically evaluated in future studies dedicated to these tools.

Subjects: Depression, Humans, Smartphone, Depressive Disorder, Major therapy, Mobile Applications, Physicians
Abstract: Background: Despite an increasing number of smartphone apps, such therapeutic tools have not yet consistently demonstrated their efficacy and many suffer from low retention rates. To ensure the development of efficient apps associated with high adherence, we aimed to identify, through a user-centred design approach, patient and physician expectations of a hypothetical app dedicated to depression., Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with physicians (psychiatrists and general practitioners) and patients who had experienced a major depressive episode during the last 12 months using the focus group method. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis to define codes, categories and emergent themes., Results: A total of 26 physicians and 24 patients were included in the study. The focus groups showed balanced sex and age distributions. Most participants owned a smartphone (83.3% of patients, 96.1% of physicians) and were app users (79.2% of patients and 96.1% of physicians). The qualitative content analysis revealed 3 main themes: content, operating characteristics and barriers to the use of the app. Expected content included the data collected by the app, aiming to provide information about the patient, data provided by the app, gathering psychoeducation elements, therapeutic tools and functionalities to help with the management of daily life and features expected for this tool. The "operating characteristics" theme gathered aims considered for the app, its potential target users, considered modalities of use and considerations around its accessibility and security of use. Finally, barriers to the use of the app included concerns about potential app users, its accessibility, safety, side-effects, utility and functioning. All themes and categories were the same for patients and physicians., Conclusions: Physician and patient expectations of a hypothetical smartphone app dedicated to depression are high and confirmed the important role it could play in depression care. The key points expected by the users for such a tool are an easy and intuitive use and a personalised content. They are also waiting for an app that gives information about depression, offers a self-monitoring functionality and helps them in case of emergency.

Subjects: Adult, Female, Hemodynamics, Humans, Male, Middle Aged, Middle Cerebral Artery metabolism, Respiration, Cerebral Cortex blood supply, Cerebral Cortex metabolism, Endurance Training, Oxygen Consumption, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension metabolism
Abstract: Background: Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation compared to healthy sedentary subjects, the latter negatively correlating with exercise capacity during incremental cycling exercise. We hypothesized that patients would also exhibit altered CBF and oxygenation during endurance exercise, which would correlate with endurance time., Methods: Resting and exercise cardiorespiratory parameters, blood velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAv; transcranial doppler) and cerebral oxygenation (relative changes in cerebral tissue oxygenation index (ΔcTOI) and cerebral deoxyhemoglobin (ΔcHHb); near-infrared spectroscopy) were continuously monitored in nine PAH patients and 10 healthy-matched controls throughout endurance exercise. Cardiac output (CO), systemic blood pressure (BP) and oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ), ventilatory metrics and end-tidal CO 2 pressure (P ET CO 2 ) were also assessed noninvasively., Results: Despite a lower workload and endurance oxygen consumption, similar CO and systemic BP, ΔcTOI was lower in PAH patients compared to controls (p < .01 for interaction). As expected during exercise, patients were characterized by an altered MCAv response to exercise, a lower P ET CO 2 and SpO 2 , as wells as a higher minute-ventilation/CO 2 production ratio ( V ˙ E / V ˙ CO 2 ratio). An uncoupling between changes in MCAv and P ET CO 2 during the cycling endurance exercise was also progressively apparent in PAH patients, but absent in healthy controls. Both cHHb and ΔcTOI correlated with V ˙ E / V ˙ CO 2 ratio (r = 0.50 and r = -0.52; both p < .05 respectively), but not with endurance time., Conclusion: PAH patients present an abnormal cerebrovascular profile during endurance exercise with a lower cerebral oxygenation that correlate with hyperventilation but not endurance exercise time. These findings complement the physiological characterization of the cerebral vascular responses to exercise in PAH patients., (© 2020 The Authors.

35. Extramaxillary Zygomatic Implants: An Alternative Approach for the Reconstruction of the Atrophic Maxilla.

Author: Blanc O, Shilo D, Weitman E, Capucha T, and Rachmiel A
Abstract: Background: Limited bone quality in the posterior maxilla results in low success rates for dental implants. Various bone augmentation methods have been described, yet most require two-step surgical procedures with relatively high rates of resorption and failure. An alternative for these patients is zygomatic implants. Zygomatic implants utilize the basal craniofacial bone., Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 25 patients exhibiting ridges classified as V-VI according to the Cawood and Howell classification. Seventy-six extramaxillary zygomatic implants were placed. Immediate rehabilitation was performed with a mean follow-up of 18.6 months., Results: Three implants failed, and two were replaced successfully. No significant bone loss was observed in the rest of the implants. Soft tissue around the implant heads healed properly. All implants were prosthetically rehabilitated successfully., Conclusions: Zygomatic implants allow for immediate loading of an atrophic maxilla. The emergence of the implant is prosthetically correct compared to the intrasinus approach, leading to better dental hygiene and decreased mechanical resistance. 96.1% of the implants survived, with good anchorage and proper soft tissue healing and rehabilitation. We suggest using extramaxillary zygomatic fixture as the first line of treatment in severe atrophic maxilla., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2020 Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery.)

Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the present study was to describe the profiles of a sample of young cannabis users not seeking care, for use in general practice in France., Methods: In this cross-sectional study, baseline data were used from a previous clinical randomized trial, in which a brief intervention was tested. The participants were 262 cannabis users aged 15 to 25 years who smoked at least one joint per month. Assessment was undertaken both by the GP and via an anonymous self-reporting questionnaire. All statistical analyses were performed using Stata software and R. We used multiple correspondence analysis to determine the profiles of users., Results: Among the 262 patients, 46.2% were daily users (more than 30 joints per month), 25.6% were regular users (from 10 to 29 joints per month), and 28.2% were recent users (fewer than 10 joints per month). The higher the frequency of use, the greater the incidence of unaccompanied use, daily use and week use (p from <0.001 to 0.01). The motivations of daily users were mostly self-treatment and habit (p <0.05). The cannabis abuse screening trial score revealed risky use for 87.5% of daily users and 34.4% for recent users. Factorial analysis identified 5 profiles according to age, risk, and motive for use. The reasons for consultation were equally distributed among users regardless of their level of use or their profile (p > 0.05)., Conclusions: The results provide support for the practice of asking young patients systematically about their cannabis use, allowing GPs to identify users who require medical care. GPs should consider the differences between participants according to their profile in order to determine the appropriate type of care., Trial Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01433692., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Abstract: New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Does habitual resistance and endurance exercise modify dynamic cerebral autoregulation? What is the main finding and its importance? To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to directly assess dynamic cerebral autoregulation in resistance-trained individuals, and potential differences between exercise training modalities. Forced oscillations in blood pressure were induced by repeated squat-stands, from which dynamic cerebral autoregulation was assessed using transfer function analysis. These data indicate that dynamic cerebral autoregulatory function is largely unaffected by habitual exercise type, and further document the systemic circulatory effects of regular exercise., Abstract: Regular endurance and resistance exercise produce differential but desirable physiological adaptations in both healthy and clinical populations. The chronic effect of these different exercise modalities on cerebral vessels' ability to respond to rapid changes in blood pressure (BP) had not been examined. We examined dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) in 12 resistance-trained (mean ± SD, 25 ± 6 years), 12 endurance-trained (28 ± 9 years) and 12 sedentary (26 ± 6 years) volunteers. The dCA was assessed using transfer function analysis of forced oscillations in BP vs. middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv), induced via repeated squat-stands at 0.05 and 0.10 Hz. Resting BP and MCAv were similar between groups (interaction: both P ≥ 0.544). The partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide ( P ETC O 2 ) was unchanged (P = 0.561) across squat-stand manoeuvres (grouped mean for absolute change +0.6 ± 2.3 mmHg). Gain and normalized gain were similar between groups across all frequencies (both P ≥ 0.261). Phase showed a frequency-specific effect between groups (P = 0.043), tending to be lower in resistance-trained (0.63 ± 0.21 radians) than in endurance-trained (0.90 ± 0.41, P = 0.052) and -untrained (0.85 ± 0.38, P = 0.081) groups at slower frequency (0.05 Hz) oscillations. Squat-stands induced mean arterial pressure perturbations differed between groups (interaction: P = 0.031), with greater changes in the resistance (P < 0.001) and endurance (P = 0.001) groups compared with the sedentary group at 0.05 Hz (56 ± 13 and 49 ± 11 vs. 35 ± 11 mmHg, respectively). The differences persisted at 0.1 Hz between resistance and sedentary groups (49 ± 12 vs. 33 ± 7 mmHg, P < 0.001). These results indicate that dCA remains largely unaltered by habitual endurance and resistance exercise with a trend for phase to be lower in the resistance exercise group at lower fequencies., (© 2019 The Authors.

Abstract: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves physical performance of endurance athletes, although studies examining its cardiovascular effects are sparse. We evaluated the impact of HIIT on blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac cavities' size and function in endurance-trained adults. Seventeen endurance-trained men underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and Doppler echocardiography at baseline and after 6 wk of HIIT. Participants were divided into 2 groups [85% maximal aerobic power (HIIT 85 ), n = 8 and 115% maximal aerobic power (HIIT 115 ), n = 9] to compare the impact of different HIIT intensities. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and cardiac chambers' size and function were similar between groups at baseline. HIIT reduced heart rate (55 ± 8 vs. 51 ± 7 beats/min; P = 0.003), systolic blood pressure (121 ± 11 vs. 118 ± 9 mmHg; P = 0.01), mean arterial pressure (90 ± 8 vs. 89 ± 6 mmHg; P = 0.03), and pulse pressure (52 ± 6 vs. 49 ± 5 mmHg; P = 0.01) irrespective of training intensity. Left atrium volumes increased after HIIT (maximal: 50 ± 14 vs. 54 ± 14 mL; P = 0.02; minimal: 15 ± 5 vs. 20 ± 8 mL; P = 0.01) in both groups. Right ventricle global longitudinal strain lowered after training in the HIIT 85 group only (20 ± 4 vs. 17 ± 3%, P = 0.04). In endurance-trained men, 6 wk of HIIT reduced systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure and increased left atrium volumes irrespective of training intensity, whereas submaximal HIIT deteriorated right ventricle systolic function. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The novel findings of this study are that 6 wk of high-intensity interval training increases left atrial volumes irrespective of training intensity (85 or 115% maximal aerobic power), whereas the submaximal training decreases right ventricular systolic function in endurance-trained men. These results may help identify the exercise threshold for potential toxicity of intense exercise training for at-risk individuals and ideal exercise training regimens conferring optimal cardiovascular protection and adapted endurance training for athletes.

Abstract: Elevated cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with reduced dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA), but the impact of exercise training per se on dCA remains equivocal. In addition, resting cerebral blood flow (CBF) and dCA after high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in individuals with already high CRF remains unknown. We examined to what extent 6 weeks of HIIT affect resting CBF and dCA in cardiorespiratory fit men and explored if potential changes are intensity-dependent. Endurance-trained men were assigned to group HIIT 85 (85% of maximal aerobic power, 1-7 min effort bouts, n = 8) and HIIT 115 (115% of maximal aerobic power, 30 sec to 1 min effort bouts, n = 9). Training sessions were completed until exhaustion 3 times/week over 6 weeks. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and middle cerebral artery mean blood velocity (MCAv mean ) were measured continuously at rest and during repeated squat-stands (0.05 and 0.10 Hz). Transfer function analysis (TFA) was used to characterize dCA on driven blood pressure oscillations during repeated squat-stands. Neither training nor intensity had an effect on resting MAP and MCAv mean (both P > 0.05). TFA phase during 0.10 Hz squat-stands decreased after HIIT irrespective of intensity (HIIT 85 : 0.77 ± 0.22 vs. 0.67 ± 0.18 radians; HIIT 115 : pre: 0.62 ± 0.19 vs. post: 0.59 ± 0.13 radians, time effect P = 0.048). These results suggest that HIIT over 6 weeks have no apparent benefits on resting CBF, but a subtle attenuation in dCA is seen posttraining irrespective of intensity training in endurance-trained men., (© 2019 The Authors.

40. Impact of Positive Emotion Regulation Training on Negative Symptoms and Social Functioning in Schizophrenia: A Field Test.

Author: Favrod J, Nguyen A, Tronche AM, Blanc O, Dubreucq J, Chereau-Boudet I, Capdevielle D, and Llorca PM
Abstract: Background: The poor efficacy of drug or psychological treatments on the primary negative symptoms of schizophrenia has led to the development of new interventions. The Positive Emotions Program for Schizophrenia (PEPS) is an emotion regulation strategy training that aims to intensify positive emotions and develop positive performance beliefs. A randomized controlled trial showed that PEPS is effective in reducing the composite score of the reduction of experience syndrome (anhedonia and apathy). The present study is designed to evaluate its feasibility in natural conditions to measure external validity of PEPS. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one participants recruited through the French national network of expert centers followed eight sessions of PEPS and were assessed pre- and posttest with the Scale for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) and the Personal and Social Performance (PSP). The scales of the SANS were divided into a composite score of the reduction of the ability to experience and a composite score of the reduction of expression. Results: All participants followed the 8 sessions of PEPS, and both composite scores were significantly and clinically improved at posttest. Social functioning assessed with the PSP was also improved. Conclusions: This field test shows that participation in PEPS is accompanied by a reduction of negative symptoms and an improvement of social functioning. Both negative syndromes, reduction of expression and reduction of experience, are improved. Participants are younger than those in previous studies, which may explain this unexpected result. However, this calls for a controlled study with younger participants.

Abstract: Young women exhibit higher prevalence of orthostatic hypotension with presyncopal symptoms compared to men. These symptoms could be influenced by an attenuated ability of the cerebrovasculature to respond to rapid blood pressure (BP) changes [dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA)]. The influence of sex on dCA remains unclear. dCA in 11 fit women (25 ± 2 years) and 11 age-matched men (24 ± 1 years) was compared using a multimodal approach including a sit-to-stand (STS) and forced BP oscillations (repeated squat-stand performed at 0.05 and 0.10 Hz). Prevalence of initial orthostatic hypotension (IOH; decrease in systolic ≥ 40 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 20 mmHg) during the first 15 sec of STS was determined as a functional outcome. In women, the decrease in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv mean ) following the STS was greater (-20 ± 8 vs. -11 ± 7 cm sec -1 ; P = 0.018) and the onset of the regulatory change (time lapse between the beginning of the STS and the increase in the conductance index (MCAv mean /mean arterial pressure) was delayed (P = 0.007). Transfer function analysis gain during 0.05 Hz squat-stand was ~48% higher in women (6.4 ± 1.3 vs. 3.8 ± 2.3 cm sec -1 mmHg -1 ; P = 0.017). Prevalence of IOH was comparable between groups (women: 4/9 vs. men: 5/9, P = 0.637). These results indicate the cerebrovasculature of fit women has an attenuated ability to react to rapid changes in BP in the face of preserved orthostasis, which could be related to higher resting cerebral blood flow allowing women to better face transient hypotension., (© 2019 The Authors.

42. Printing the Future-Updates in 3D Printing for Surgical Applications.

Author: Shilo D, Emodi O, Blanc O, Noy D, and Rachmiel A
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is based on additive technology in which layers of materials are gradually placed to create 3D objects. The world of 3D printing is a rapidly evolving field in the medical industry as well as in most sectors of our lives. In this report we present current technological possibilities for 3D printing in the surgical field. There are different 3D printing modalities and much confusion among clinicians regarding the differences between them. Three-dimensional printing technologies can be classified based on the basic material used: solid, liquid, and powder. We describe the main printing methods from each modality and present their advantages while focusing on their applications in different fields of surgery, starting from 3D printing of models for preoperative planning up to patient-specific implants (PSI). We present the workflow of 3D printing for the different applications and our experience in 3D printing surgical guides as well as PSI. We include examples of 3D planning as well as clinical and radiological imaging of cases. Three-dimensional printing of models for preoperative planning enhances the 3D perception of the planned operation and allows for preadaptation of surgical instruments, thus shortening operation duration and improving precision. Three-dimensional printed PSI allow for accurate reconstruction of anatomic relations as well as efficiently restoring function. The application of PSI is expanding rapidly, and we will see many more innovative treatment modalities in the near future based on this technology.

Abstract: The effect that cardiorespiratory fitness has on the dynamic cerebral autoregulatory capacity during changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) remains equivocal. Using a multiple-metrics approach, challenging MAP across the spectrum of physiological extremes (i.e., spontaneous through forced MAP oscillations), we characterized dynamic cerebral autoregulatory capacity in 19 male endurance athletes and eight controls via three methods: (1) onset of regulation (i.e., time delay before an increase in middle cerebral artery (MCA) conductance [MCA blood velocity (MCAv)/MAP] and rate of regulation, after transient hypotension induced by sit-to-stand, and transfer function analysis (TFA) of MAP and MCAv responses during (2) spontaneous and (3) forced oscillations (5-min of squat-stand maneuvers performed at 0.05 and 0.10 Hz). Reductions in MAP and mean MCAv (MCAV mean ) during initial orthostatic stress (0-30 sec after sit-to-stand) and the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension were also determined. Onset of regulation was delayed after sit-to-stand in athletes (3.1 ± 1.7 vs. 1.5 ± 1.0 sec; P = 0.03), but rate of regulation was not different between groups (0.24 ± 0.05 vs. 0.21 ± 0.09 sec -1 ; P = 0.82). While both groups had comparable TFA metrics during spontaneous oscillations, athletes had higher TFA gain during 0.10 Hz squat-stand versus recreational controls ( P = 0.01). Reductions in MAP ( P = 0.15) and MCAV mean ( P = 0.11) during orthostatic stress and the prevalence of initial orthostatic hypotension ( P = 0.65) were comparable between groups. These results indicate an intact ability of the cerebral vasculature to react to spontaneous oscillations but an attenuated capability to counter rapid and large changes in MAP in individuals with elevated cardiorespiratory fitness., (© 2017 The Authors.

Abstract: Background: Functional cerebrovascular regulatory mechanisms are important for maintaining constant cerebral blood flow and oxygen supply in heathy individuals and are altered in heart failure. We aim to examine whether pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with abnormal cerebrovascular regulation and lower cerebral oxygenation and their physiological and clinical consequences., Methods and Results: Resting mean flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAv mean ); transcranial Doppler), cerebral pressure-flow relationship (assessed at rest and during squat-stand maneuvers; analyzed using transfer function analysis), cerebrovascular reactivity to CO 2 , and central chemoreflex were assessed in 11 patients with PAH and 11 matched healthy controls. Both groups also completed an incremental ramp exercise protocol until exhaustion, during which MCAv mean , mean arterial pressure, cardiac output (photoplethysmography), end-tidal partial pressure of CO 2 , and cerebral oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy) were measured. Patients were characterized by a significant decrease in resting MCAv mean ( P <0.01) and higher transfer function gain at rest and during squat-stand maneuvers (both P <0.05). Cerebrovascular reactivity to CO 2 was reduced ( P =0.03), whereas central chemoreceptor sensitivity was increased in PAH ( P <0.01), the latter correlating with increased resting ventilation ( R 2 =0.47; P <0.05) and the exercise ventilation/CO 2 production slope (V˙E/V˙CO2 slope; R 2 =0.62; P <0.05) during exercise for patients. Exercise-induced increases in MCAv mean were limited in PAH ( P <0.05). Reduced MCAv mean contributed to impaired cerebral oxygen delivery and oxygenation (both P <0.05), the latter correlating with exercise capacity in patients with PAH ( R 2 =0.52; P =0.01)., Conclusions: These findings provide comprehensive evidence for physiologically and clinically relevant impairments in cerebral hemodynamic regulation and oxygenation in PAH., (© 2017 The Authors.

Abstract: The cerebrovasculature is more efficient at compensating for pharmacologically induced transient hypertension versus transient hypotension. Whether this phenomenon exists during nonpharmacologically induced hypertension and hypotension is currently unknown. We compared the percent change in mean velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAvmean) per percent change in mean arterial pressure (MAP) (%ΔMCAVmean/%ΔMAP) during transient hypertension and hypotension induced during squat-stand maneuvers performed at 0.05 Hz (20-s cycles) and 0.10 Hz (10-s cycles) in 58 male volunteers. %ΔMCAvmean/%ΔMAP was attenuated by 25% ( P = 0.03, 0.05 Hz) and 47% ( P < 0.0001, 0.10 Hz) during transient hypertension versus hypotension. Thus, these findings indicate that the brain in healthy men is better adapted to compensate for physiologically relevant transient hypertension than hypotension. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The novel finding of this study is that the change in middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity is attenuated during hypertension compared with hypotension physiologically induced by oscillations in blood pressure in men. These results support that the human brain is more effective at compensating for transient hypertension than hypotension., (Copyright © 2017 the American Physiological Society.)

Abstract: Purpose: Brief intervention to reduce cannabis is a promising technique that could be adapted for use in primary care, but it has not been well studied in this setting. We tested the efficacy of a brief intervention conducted by general practitioners among cannabis users aged 15 to 25 years., Methods: We performed a cluster randomized controlled trial with 77 general practitioners in France. The intervention consisted of an interview designed according to the FRAMES (feedback, responsibility, advice, menu, empathy, self-efficacy) model, while the control condition consisted of routine care., Results: The general practitioners screened and followed up 261 young cannabis users. After 1 year, there was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in the median number of joints smoked per month among all users (17.5 vs 17.5; P = .13), but there was a difference in favor of the intervention among nondaily users (3 vs 10; P = .01). After 6 months, the intervention was associated with a more favorable change from baseline in the number of joints smoked (-33.3% vs 0%, P = .01) and, among users younger than age of 18, smoking of fewer joints per month (12.5 vs 20, P = .04)., Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a brief intervention conducted by general practitioners with French young cannabis users does not affect use overall. They do, however, strongly support use of brief intervention for younger users and for moderate users., (© 2017 Annals of Family Medicine, Inc.)

47. Direct laser manipulation reveals the mechanics of cell contacts in vivo.

Subjects: Animals, Drosophila embryology, Optical Tweezers, Cell Communication, Lasers
Abstract: Cell-generated forces produce a variety of tissue movements and tissue shape changes. The cytoskeletal elements that underlie these dynamics act at cell-cell and cell-ECM contacts to apply local forces on adhesive structures. In epithelia, force imbalance at cell contacts induces cell shape changes, such as apical constriction or polarized junction remodeling, driving tissue morphogenesis. The dynamics of these processes are well-characterized; however, the mechanical basis of cell shape changes is largely unknown because of a lack of mechanical measurements in vivo. We have developed an approach combining optical tweezers with light-sheet microscopy to probe the mechanical properties of epithelial cell junctions in the early Drosophila embryo. We show that optical trapping can efficiently deform cell-cell interfaces and measure tension at cell junctions, which is on the order of 100 pN. We show that tension at cell junctions equilibrates over a few seconds, a short timescale compared with the contractile events that drive morphogenetic movements. We also show that tension increases along cell interfaces during early tissue morphogenesis and becomes anisotropic as cells intercalate during germ-band extension. By performing pull-and-release experiments, we identify time-dependent properties of junctional mechanics consistent with a simple viscoelastic model. Integrating this constitutive law into a tissue-scale model, we predict quantitatively how local deformations propagate throughout the tissue.

Abstract: Background: Cannabis is the most consumed illegal substance in France. General practitioners (GPs) are the health professionals who are most consulted by adolescents. Brief intervention (BI) is a promising care initiative for the consumption of cannabis, and could be a tool for GPs in caring for adolescents who consume cannabis. The aim of the CANABIC study is to measure the impact of a BI carried out by a GP on the consumption of cannabis by adolescents of 15 to 25 years of age., Methods: A randomized clustered controlled trial, stratified over three areas (Auvergne, Languedoc-Roussillon, and Rhône - Alpes), comparing an intervention group, which carries out the BI in consultation, and a control group, which ensures routine medical care. The main assessment criterion is the consumption of cannabis by amount of joints per month, at 12 months. The amount necessary to highlight a significant difference between the two groups of 30% of consumption at 12 months is 250 patients (50 GPs, 5 patients per GP; risk α = 5%; power = 90%; intra-cluster correlation coefficient ρ = 0.2; Hawthorne effect = 15%; lost to follow-up rates for GPs = 10% and for patients = 20%). This plan is replicated for the three areas, and therefore a total of 750 patients are expected.The secondary criteria for judgment are the associated consumption of tobacco and alcohol, the perception of the consequences of consumption, and the driving of a vehicle following consumption., Discussion: Research about BI for young cannabis users is underway. The aim of the CANABIC study is to validate a BI suited to adolescents who consume cannabis, which may be performed in the general practice. This would provide a tool for their treatment by a GP, which could be widely distributed during initial or further medical training., Trial Registration: CANABIC is a randomized clustered trial (NCT01433692, registered 2011 Sept 12), PHRC funded: Clinical Research Hospital Program (Governmental Fund, Health Ministry).

49. Management of traumatic events: influence of emotion-centered coping strategies on the occurrence of dissociation and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Author: Brousse G, Arnaud B, Roger JD, Geneste J, Bourguet D, Zaplana F, Blanc O, Schmidt J, and Jehel L
Abstract: Our aim was to assess the influence of the coping strategies employed for the management of traumatic events on the occurrence of dissociation and traumatic disorders. We carried out a 1-year retrospective study of the cognitive management of a traumatic event in 18 subjects involved in the same road vehicle accident. The diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was made for 33.3% of the participants. The participants with a PTSD diagnosis 1 year after the event used emotion-centered strategies during the event more often than did those with no PTSD, P < 0.02. In the year after the traumatic event, our results show a strong link between the intensity of PTSD and the severity of the post-traumatic symptoms like dissociation (P = 0.032) and the use of emotion-centered strategies (P = 0.004). Moreover, the participants who presented Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire scores above 15 made greater use of emotion-centered coping strategies than did those who did not show dissociation, P < 0.04. Our results confirm that the cognitive management of traumatic events may play an essential role in the development of a state of post-traumatic stress in the aftermath of a violent event.
