bility did not differ between earlier and later stages of the run. The lack of a group effect on LRCs supports the idea that the mechanisms responsible for the emergence of temporal patterns in the stride pattern are not influenced by skill level.COVID-19 is a new disease leading to respiratory complications in adults. Children appear to have more modest symptoms than adults. Varicella is often described as a benign disease in the pediatric population. AM580 chemical structure However, patients with varicella and COVID-19 co-infection can develop a more serious respiratory infection. We report the case of an infant who had a co-infection with both viruses that led to pleuropneumonia. The main question in the present case concerns the link between COVID-19 and varicella infection, and the possible modulation in immune response due to the two virus infections.

Most repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) studies aiming to reduce auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) in schizophrenia target the left temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), but the efficacy of this approach remains controversial. The observed differences in efficacy could be attributed to inaccurate target localization. Here, to precisely quantify anatomical bias induced by localization method, we developed a free open-source software (GeodesicSlicer) that computes shortest curved path (i.e. geodesic) between rTMS targets. Here we compare a personalized target with accurate anatomical criteria with a standardized target based on the 10-20 EEG system (the middle between T3 and P3 electrodes T3P3).

We compare in 69 patients with schizophrenia the geodesic distances of two approaches for rTMS target localization within the left TPJ. In addition, we characterize the personalized target according to the 10-20 EEG system.

A differential of 3cm in term of geodesic distance between rTMS localization approaches was observed. Moreover, this personalized target to treat AVH is located at 25% in the T3-P3 axis.

This software for rTMS localization comparison demonstrates the difference between standardized and personalized rTMS target. This difference has the potential to explain a part of the dissonant clinical results found in previous rTMS studies.

While dextrocardia itself does not independently increase the risk of coronary artery disease, mirrored symptoms, including right-sided and rightward radiating chest pain in any patient with cardiac risk factors should raise suspicion for acute coronary syndrome. In patients with a reversed cardiac silhouette on a chest radiograph, a reversed electrocardiogram, to include both the precordial and limb leads, is necessary to evaluate for cardiac ischemia in presumed dextrocardia. The authors present a case of a 66-year-old man with dextrocardia who presented with shortness of breath and hypotension. Rapid application of a reversed electrocardiogram resulted in the timely diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and activation of the cardiac catheterization laboratory resulting in the preservation of this patient's life.It is well-established in preclinical studies that various probiotics may improve behaviours related to psychiatric disease. We have previously shown that probiotics protected against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced depressive-like behaviour in Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rats, whereas FSL rats on control (CON) diet were unaffected. Therefore, we hypothesised that a dysmetabolic component of depression may exist that involves the gut microbiota and that such component may be reflected in the plasma metabolome. The aims of the present study post hoc analyses were 1) to study the effect of probiotics on gut microbiota composition and its association with depressive-like behaviour in FSL rats, and 2) to identify plasma metabolites associated with gut microbiota and depressive-like behaviour. Forty-six FSL rats were fed CON or HFD and treated with multi-species probiotics (nine Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus and Lactobacillus species) for 12 weeks. Faecal samples were collected for 16S rRNA (VR4) gene amplicon sequencing (Illumina MiSeq), and an untargeted plasma metabolomics was performed. We found that probiotics increased the relative faecal abundance of the Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus and Lactobacillus genera in HFD-fed rats only. Also, a HFD-induced microbiota component associated with depressive-like behaviour was identified, and probiotics improved the component score. Finally, the plasma levels of 44 metabolites correlated with the depression-related microbiota component, and three such metabolites had good predictive ability for depressive-like behaviour. Potentially, our findings imply that a subtype of depression characterised by a diet-induced, pro-depressant gut microbiota may exist and that analysis of related plasma metabolites may reveal aberrant microbiota functioning related to depression.

This study aims to assess maternal level of education and nutritional practices in order to determine the risk factors related to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in preschoolers.

A descriptive correlational design was adopted. A cross-sectional sample of 100 anemic preschool children aged 36-59months (47 girls, 53 boys) was recruited. Data were collected in structured interviews with their mothers.

Almost half of children (47%) were moderately anemic and 53% were mildly anemic. Pearson's chi-squared test showed a significant statistical relationship between maternal educational level and hemoglobin level (χ

=8.820, p=0.012). Exclusive breast feeding for the first six months was not associated significantly with low level of hemoglobin 10(χ

=2.696, p=0.101). Complementary feeding had been initiated at 4months for 30% of children with mild anemia and 24% with moderate anemia (p=0.122). In the last 24h there had been minimal consumption of iron absorption enhancers and relatively high consumption of iron absorption inhibitors.
