The development of an author-level complementary metric could play a role in the process of academic promotion through objective evaluation of scholars' influence and impact.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the Healthcare Social Graph (HSG) score, a novel social media influence and impact metric, and the h-index, a traditional author-level metric.

This was a cross-sectional study of health care stakeholders with a social media presence randomly sampled from the Symplur database in May 2020. check details We performed stratified random sampling to obtain a representative sample with all strata of HSG scores. We manually queried the h-index in two reference-based databases (Scopus and Google Scholar). Continuous features (HSG score and h-index) from the included profiles were summarized as the median and IQR. We calculated the Spearman correlation coefficients (ρ) to evaluate the correlation between the HSG scores and h-indexes obtained from Google Scholar and Scopus.

A total of 28l complementary metric and the h-index. More than a chiasm between traditional citation metrics and novel social media-based metrics, our findings point toward a bridge between the two domains.Autoimmune encephalitis is increasingly recognised as a major cause of new-onset refractory status epilepticus. Early immunotherapy with agents such as methylprednisolone is recommended. Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist used for various inflammatory disorders. It has been used successfully in the treatment of febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome in children and in one adult case. In this case report, we describe a case of super-refractory status epilepticus in a 38-year-old female due to autoimmune encephalitis who was treated successfully with anakinra after 16 weeks of therapeutic coma and failing multiple immunotherapies. Despite a prolonged period of therapeutic coma, this patient made a reasonable recovery with effective communication and ability to walk with assistance upon discharge. We propose that the successful treatment with anakinra in our case could be due to elevated inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of autoimmune encephalitis, although we acknowledge that interleukin levels were unfortunately not available. We conclude that anakinra can be a valuable alternative option in patients with autoimmune encephalitis refractory to conventional immunotherapies.The aim of the current study was to investigate the opinions of neurologists and psychiatrists in Iran on the necessity of COVID-19 vaccination in patients with epilepsy (PWE). These data can help policy makers understand the concerns of these healthcare professionals. This was a survey study. On September 1st, 2020 we sent a questionnaire (using Google-forms) to all neurologists and psychiatrists in Iran via WhatsApp. The survey included three general questions (age, sex, and discipline) and six COVID-specific questions. In total, 202 physicians participated in this study (116 neurologists and 86 psychiatrists). Of the participants, 27% believed that PWE are at increased risk of contracting COVID-19. The majority (74%) of the participants would confidently recommend COVID-19 vaccine to their patients. However, only 49% of the physicians would recommend such a vaccine to all patients; others would consider it in special populations only. The overwhelming majority (91%) of the participants would recommend COVID-19 vaccine only when a reliable vaccine becomes available. Many physicians would trust a vaccine that is approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) (46%) or a vaccine that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA-USA) (34%). Physicians have concerns on the issue of the necessity of (a future) COVID-19 vaccine in PWE. The most important concern is the reliability of a vaccine and in this regard, two health agencies, the WHO and the FDA, are the most trusted organizations to approve a vaccine against COVID-19.

The increased incidence of cancer with age and rise of oral chemotherapy will affect the management of nursing home's residents. The aim of our study was to evaluate knowledge and practices in oncogeratric of nursing home's professionals from Pays-de-la-Loire and to raise awareness.

In partnership with UCOG-pl, OMEDIT and Observatoire du Cancer, we realised an observational survey from April to September 2017. Three questionnaires were sent to coordonary doctors (CD), nurses and paramedics, along with informative documents.

In 589nursing homes, 82 CD, 147 nurses and 240 paramedics gave an answer. The estimation of cancer's prevalence was 8,75%. Breast and prostate cancers were the most frequent. Nursing homes were an appropriate place to screen cancers by 79% of professionals. Some difficulties were reported by more than 80% of them (coordination, residents' relationships...). At least, 20% of professionals couldn't define properly oncogeriatric. Only 73% of CD, 16% of nurses and 5% of paramedics knew ag homes could partly explain by the lake of training, communication and coordination with oncology professionals and the distinctive characteristics of nursing home's residents. Study suggests that raising awareness of oncogeriatric and its challenges to all professionals would improve the care of the elderly with cancer.

Episodic memory is the most affected memory system in aging. However, memory decline is not similar in every older adult. Various cognitive reserve factors, as Openness personality trait or educational level, and cognitive resources linked to these factors, as executive control and crystallized knowledge, can predict older adults' memory performance.

This study examined the link between and the role of these variables in older adults' memory performances according to the task difficulty.

Forty participants (60-82years old) learned 24paired words with two encoding conditions (reading and generation) and then performed a cued recall. Their educational level was asked, and their Openness, executive control and crystallized knowledge levels were respectively measured using a personality questionnaire (Big Five), an inhibition test (Stroop) and a vocabulary test (Mill Hill).

Only crystallized knowledge predicts older adults' generated words recall while Openness and executive control predict and mediate educational level effect on older adults' read words recall.
