Abstract
Diabetes poses a substantial disease burden, prompting preventive interventions. Physical inactivity, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, can potentially be mitigated by enhancing area-level walkability. Despite this, limited population-based studies have investigated the link between walkability and objective diabetes measures. Our study aims to estimate the association between area-level walkability and individual glycated haemoglobin levels in the Portuguese adult population without the diagnosis of diabetes. Data from the 2011 census and an updated street map were obtained to construct a walkability index based on residential density, land-use mix, and street connectivity. Individual health data were sourced from The National Health Examination Survey (INSEF) 2015, a representative survey of the Portuguese adult population. Gamma regression was employed for estimation of the main associations, revealing that residing in moderately walkable areas significantly reduced average glycated haemoglobin levels (Exp(β) = 0.906; 95% CI: 0.821, 0.999) compared to the least walkable areas. The association was less pronounced and not statistically significant for the third tertile of walkability (Exp(β) = 0.919; 95% CI: 0.822, 1.028). Our findings highlight a nonlinear protective association between walkability and glycated haemoglobin, emphasizing the potential policy implications for urban planning, diabetes prevention, and health promotion.

Abstract
The consumption of psychoactive substances is considered a growing problem in many communities. Moreover, new psychoactive substances (NPS) designed as (legal) substitutes to traditional illicit drugs are relatively easily available to the public through e-commerce and retail shops, but there is little knowledge regarding the extent and actual use of these substances. This study aims to gain new and complementary information on NPS and traditional illicit drug use at six music festivals across Europe by investigating wastewater and pooled urine. Samples were collected, between 2015 and 2018, at six music festivals across Europe with approximately 465.000 attendees. Wastewater samples were also collected during a period not coinciding with festivals. A wide-scope screening for 197 NPS, six illicit drugs and known metabolites was applied using different chromatography-mass spectrometric strategies. Several illicit drugs and in total 21 different NPS, mainly synthetic cathinones, phenethylamines and tryptamines, were identified in the samples. Ketamine and the traditional illicit drugs, such as amphetamine-type stimulants, cannabis and cocaine were most abundant and/or frequently detected in the samples collected, suggesting a higher use compared to NPS. The analyses of urine and wastewater is quick and a high number of attendees may be monitored anonymously by analysing only a few samples which allows identifying the local profiles of use of different drugs within a wide panel of psychoactive substances. This approach contributes to the development of an efficient surveillance system which can provide timely insight in the trends of NPS and illicit drugs use.

Abstract
Summary Introduction. The incidence of food-induced anaphylaxis (FIA) is increasing in young children. Although the commonest culprits are cow's milk and egg, FIA to tree nuts (TNs) have been increasing. Objective. Characterization of children referred to our allergy department due to TNs-induced anaphylaxis (TNs-FIA) during preschool age. Materials and methods. We have retrospectively included 25 children with clinical history of preschool TNs-FIA, proven by allergological work-up. TNs sensitization was assessed by skin prick tests and/or specific IgE. Results. The mean age of the first anaphylactic episode was 3.1±1.2 years. The majority (92%) had an allergic disease (52% asthma). The implicated TNs were cashew (11 children), walnut (8), pine nut (5), hazelnut (2) and almond (1). The reaction occurred after the first known ingestion in 68%. In 92%, symptoms appeared within 30 minutes after exposure. The most frequent clinical symptoms were mucocutaneous (96%), respiratory (80%) and gastrointestinal (52%). Twenty-one children were admitted to the emergency department, although only 48% were treated with epinephrine. An underneath IgE-mediated mechanism was proven in all cases. Immunologic cross-reactivity with other TNs was identified in 84%, and with peanut in 36%. Overall, in our center, TNs-FIA represents 18% of all causes of FIA. Conclusions. In preschool age children with TNs-FIA, cashew and walnut were the commonest implicated nuts. Most reactions occurred briefly after exposure to minimal amounts of TNs, demonstrating the high potency of these allergens. About one-third also had peanut sensitization. Potentially life-threatening TNs allergy can occur early in childhood and adequate management should be undertaken.

Abstract
The authors present a case of a pregnant woman suffering from colorectal cancer in order to contribute to the knowledge regarding this situation and to optimise its management. Rectal cancer in pregnancy is a rare disease, challenging clinicians as there are no generally accepted guidelines regarding diagnosis or treatment. Early diagnosis remains to be the key. When the disease is particularly aggressive, the prognosis remains poor despite pregnancy cessation and radical therapy.

Abstract
Sexual dysfunction (SD) is a common and underestimated effect of antidepressants. Healthy volunteers are the most adequate group to study this adverse event avoiding influence of depression itself. Sexual acceptability of agomelatine (a melatonergic agonist and 5HT(2C) antagonist) paroxetine and placebo by using the Psychotropic-Related Sexual Dysfunction Salamanca Sex Questionnaire (PRSEXDQ-SALSEX) was explored. A total of 92 healthy male volunteers were randomised to agomelatine (25 or 50 mg), paroxetine 20 mg or placebo for 8 weeks. SD, defined as at least one sexual impairment in one of the following PRSEXDQ-SALSEX items (decreased libido, delayed orgasm/ejaculation, anorgasmia/no ejaculation and erectile dysfunction), was evaluated at baseline and after 2, 4 and 8 weeks. At the last post-baseline assessment, SD was significantly lower in each agomelatine group (22.7% on 25 mg and 4.8% on 50 mg) than in the paroxetine group (85.7%; p < 0.0001). In the placebo group, 8.7% of volunteers reported a SD. The percentages of volunteers with moderate or severe SD were 4.5% for agomelatine 25 mg, 4.8% for agomelatine 50 mg, 61.9% for paroxetine 20 mg and 0% in the placebo group (p < or = 0.0001 agomelatine versus paroxetine). There is a much lower risk of having SD with agomelatine than paroxetine in healthy male volunteers, which confirms the better sexual acceptability profile of agomelatine compared with the SSRIs.

Abstract
Drug overdose is an important cause of death among young adults in Europe. According to data reported by Member States to the EMCDDA, many of the European Union countries reported a rebound in the numbers of overdose deaths in 2003-2005, following decreases in almost all reporting countries in previous years (2000 to 2003). Further investigations are needed in order to clarify the factor driving these increases and inform policies and interventions aimed at reducing these deaths.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme expression patterns were determined for a panel of 60 human tumor cell lines, representing nine tumor tissue types, used by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Anticancer Drug Screening Program. All 60 tumor cell lines displayed significant P450 activity, as well as P450 reductase activity, as determined using the general P450 substrate 7-benzyloxyresorufin. Cell line-specific P450 enzyme patterns were observed using three other P450 substrates, 7-ethoxycoumarin, coumarin, and 7-ethoxyresorufin, each of which was metabolized at a low rate. Using a pattern-matching computer program, COMPARE, correlative relationships were investigated between the arrays of P450 activities and the patterns of cytotoxicity exhibited by a large group of anticancer agents of proven or potential clinical utility. Significant negative correlations between the patterns of P450-dependent 7-benzyloxyresorufin metabolism activity and cell line chemosensitivity were observed for 10 standard anticancer agents (including 6 alkylating agents) and 55 investigational compounds, suggesting a role for P450 metabolism in the inactivation of these agents. Negative correlations between 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation and cell line chemosensitivity to a group of topoisomerase inhibitors were also seen, again suggesting P450-dependent drug inactivation. P450 enzyme profiling may thus aid in interpreting the patterns of drug sensitivity and resistance in the NCI tumor cell panel, and may facilitate the identification of anticancer agents whose activity can be altered via cytochrome P450 metabolism.

Abstract
Our expérience in the treatment of 46 cases with radiation enteritis (RE) permitted to summarize 5 key points in the Surgical Strategy: laparotomy incision, enterolysis technique, small bowel and colon preservation, anastomosis technic and parenteral nutritional support. Surgery is imposed most of the time in digestive and nutritional Insufficiencies due to radiation enteritis. 46 patients aged to 33-81 years (mean age = 59) were included for possible surgery. The first clinical digestive symptoms were occlusion (n = 39) and/or digestive fistula (n = 7) and/or perforation (n = 3). These abnormalities were often associated with severe malnutrition (weight loss > or = 20% of usual weight) inducing surgery preparation with pre-operative parenteral nutrition (8 to 350 days). 3 patients were not operated because of general problems and lived 1 to 7 months after the beginning of parenteral nutrition. For operated patients (n = 43), 12 underwent 2 operations (resection and/or enteral liberation) and one patient underwent 4 surgical interventions because of digestive fistula. In 35 cases, small bowel resection was performed leaving 135.4 +/- 62.6 cm of intestine (0 to 225 cm of jejunum and/or ileum) and in 13 cases, complete enterolysis was achieved. All the patients received a post-operative parenteral nutrition during 1 to 23 months (median = 6.2 +/- 5.3 months). 31 patients received home parenteral nutrition during the pre and/or post-operative phase for a median duration of 6.3 +/- 3.2 months (range: 1-23 months). 4 patients died during the immediate post-operative phase and among them, 3 died after the second surgery. 12 deaths were observed due to the primary cancer and 6 due to the evolution of radiation lesions. Median survival of patients without cancer evolution reach 180 months with a 5-year survival rate of 94% (Kaplan-Meier method). In patients with radiation enteritis, the pre and post-operative nutritional support associated with radical surgery allows to obtain prolonged survival in non cancer patients.

Abstract
A 27 years old man was treated after surgery and classic chemotherapy for a right testicular teratoma (stage IV). Two months after the end of chemotherapy the patient developed "a Growing Teratoma Syndrome" with left subclavian and mediastinal nodes enlargement and bulky abdominal cystic masses with vena cava compression, collateral circulation and oedema of inferior members. Four debulking surgical approaches: cervical, thoracic and abdominal were performed and permitted complete functional recovery.

Abstract
Since 1981, a consensus is appeared in order to define and to precise the natural evolution of short bowel with a maximal remaining small bowel of 150 cm. The phenomenon of intestinal adaptation which are better known in animals than in humans, are on the dependence of luminal, hormonal and humoral factors (epidermal growth factor, polyamines). The knowledge of prognostical factors and the anatomical and functional evaluation of remaining small bowel allow to "measure" the improvement of digestive absorption and to decide the duration of nutritional support. An experience in 80 cases of short bowel syndrome is reported. A significant correlation exists between the duration of parenteral nutrition support and the length of the remaining gut (p < 0.001) and multifactorial analysis differentiates 3 groups of short bowel characterized by their length and parenteral support duration.

Abstract
We have evaluated the effects of a Programme of education for Obese Patients with a duration of 12 hours on weight loss and the modification of other indices for cardiovascular risk in 88 obese patients, during the first year of therapy. The BMI dropped from 33.1 +/- 0.2 Kg/m2 to 31.7 +/- 0.7 (p less than 0.01) and 30.9 +/- 0.7) (p less than 0.01) at 5 and 10 weeks respectively, stabilizing subsequently at 35 and at 55 weeks. This was accompanied by a decrease of the triglycerides levels (141 +/- 9 vs 111 +/- 6 mg/dl; p less than 0.01) and of the total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio (4.7 +/- 0.3 vs 4.2 +/- 0.12; p less than 0.05), as well as of the values for systolic blood pressure (143 +/- 3 vs 121 +/- 3 mm Hg; p less than 0.05) and diastolic blood pressure 81 +/- 2 vs 64 +/- 1 mm Hg; p less than 0.01) at the end of the study. In terms of OGTT, initially 23 patients were classified as diabetic (BMI 32 +/- 0.9 Kg/m2), 25 presented intolerance to carbohydrates (BMI 34.1 +/- 1.6 Kg/m2) and 40 were normal (BMI 33.2 +/- 1.2 Kg/m2). The weight loss in the first 5 weeks was less in patients with diabetes then in those with carbohydrate intolerance and in the normal patients (2.2 vs 3.7 vs 5.9 Kg; p less than 0.01). From the 10th week on no differences were recorded.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
