Abstract
Sedentary behaviours are ubiquitous in modern society with Western populations spending approximately ∼50% of their waking hours in low levels of energy expenditure. This behaviour is associated with cardiometabolic derangements and increased morbidity and mortality. In individuals living with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), "breaking up" sedentariness, by interrupting prolonged periods of sitting has been shown to acutely improve glucose control and cardiometabolic risk factors related to diabetes complications. As such, current guidelines recommend interrupting prolonged periods of sitting with short, frequent activity breaks. However, the evidence underpinning these recommendations remain preliminary and are focussed on those with or at risk of developing T2D, with little information regarding whether and how reducing sedentariness may be effective and safe in those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this review, we discuss the potential application of interventions that target prolonged sitting time in T2D within the context of T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE "Nature prescriptions" are increasingly being adopted by health sectors as an adjunct to standard care to attend to health and social needs. We investigated levels of need and interest in nature prescriptions in adults with cardiovascular diseases, psychological distress and concomitants (e.g. physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour, obesity, loneliness, burn-out). METHODS A nationally-representative survey of 3,319 adults across all states and territories of Australia was completed in February 2021 (response 84.0%). Participants were classified across 15 target groups using validated health indicators and surveyed on (1) time and frequency of visits to green and blue spaces (nature spaces), (2) interest in a nature prescription, and (3) potential confounders (e.g. age, income). Analyses were done using weighted logistic regressions. RESULTS The sample was 50.5% female, 52.0% were aged ≥45 years, 15.2% were living alone and 19.3% were born overseas in non-English-speaking countries. Two-thirds of the sample spent 2 hours or more a week in nature, but these levels were generally lower in target groups (e.g. 57.7% in adults with type 2 diabetes). Most participants (81.9%) were interested in a nature prescription, even among those spending fewer than 2 hours a week in nature (76.4%). For example, 2 hours a week or more in nature was lowest among sedentary adults (36.9%) yet interest in nature prescriptions in this group was still high (74.0%). Lower levels of nature contact in target groups was not explained by differences in access to or preference for local nature spaces. CONCLUSIONS High levels of interest in nature prescriptions amid low levels of nature contact in many target health groups provides impetus for developing randomised trials of interventions that enable people to spend more time in nature. These findings can inform intervention co-design processes with a wide range of community stakeholders, end-users in target health groups, and the health professionals who support them.

Abstract
Arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important for neurological development. The aim was to determine the distribution and relative enrichment of AA and DHA among lipoprotein fractions prior to pregnancy, throughout gestation and in the post-partum period. Our hypothesis was that in pregnancy, in contrast to the non-pregnant state, AA and DHA are carried in highest concentration in the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction secondary to increased gestational liver triglyceride secretion. Two independent prospective, observational cohort studies carried out in Glasgow were combined; one early in pregnancy and one later in pregnancy with post-partum follow up. Across the pregnancy timeline plasma lipoproteins were isolated using sequential ultracentrifugation and lipoprotein fatty acids were extracted and analysed by gas chromatography. High density lipoprotein (HDL) had the highest concentration of AA and DHA compared to other lipoproteins. HDL became progressively enriched in the proportion of triglycerides at 16 weeks of gestation, which peaked at 35 weeks and returned to baseline at 13 weeks postpartum. HDL DHA per HDL-cholesterol and HDL DHA per apoA-I became progressively enriched at 16 weeks of gestation, peaked at 25 weeks and returned to baseline at 13 weeks postpartum, whereas HDL AA (per HDL-C or HDL-apoA-I) did not differ. DHA is carried primarily in HDL rather than VLDL. HDL has anti-oxidant properties that might afford DHA protection against oxidation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Postprandial metabolic imbalances are important indicators of later developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated the effects of food anthocyanins on vascular and microvascular function, and CVD associated biomarkers following a high fat high energy (HFHE) meal challenge in overweight older adults. METHODS Sixteen subjects (13 female, 3 male, mean age 65.9 SD 6.0 and body mass index 30.6 kg/m2 SD 3.9) participated in a crossover, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial (registered under Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, identifier no. ACTRN12620000437965). Participants consumed a HFHE meal with a 250 mL dose of either intervention (anthocyanins-rich Queen Garnet Plum) or control (apricot) juice. Blood samples and blood pressure measures were collected at baseline, 2 h and 4 h following the HFHE meal. Vascular and microvascular function were evaluated at baseline and 2 h after the HFHE meal. RESULTS Participants had a higher 2 h postprandial flow-mediated dilatation (+1.14%) and a higher microvascular post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (+0.10 perfusion units per mmHg) when allocated to the anthocyanin compared to the control arm (P = 0.019 and P = 0.049, respectively). C-reactive protein was lower 4 h postprandially in the anthocyanins (1.80 mg/L, IQR 0.90) vs control arm (2.30 mg/L, IQR 1.95) (P = 0.026), accompanied by a trend for lower concentrations of interleukin-6 (P = 0.075). No significant postprandial differences were observed between treatments for blood pressure, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, serum derivatives of reactive oxidative metabolites, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-1 beta, or maximum microvascular perfusion following iontophoresis of acetylcholine. CONCLUSION Fruit-based anthocyanins attenuated the potential postprandial detrimental effects of a HFHE challenge on parameters of vascular and microvascular function, and inflammatory biomarkers in overweight older adults. Anthocyanins may reduce cardiovascular risk associated with endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory responses to a typical high fat 'Western' meal. Further studies are required to better elucidate the clinical implications of postprandial biomarkers of CVD.

Abstract
Background Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is the most frequent form of inherited ataxias. Vestibular and auditory assessments are not commonly part of the check up for these patients despite hearing and balance complaints. Screening of vestibular and auditory function was performed in a large group of young patients with genetically confirmed FRDA. Methods Our study included 43 patients (7–24 years of age). A complete vestibular assessment was performed including the canals function evaluation at 3 head velocities (bithermal caloric test, earth vertical axis rotation (EVAR) and head impulse test (HIT)) and otolith function evaluation (cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials). Information regarding the hearing evaluation of the patients were also retrieved including impedance tympanometry, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), air and bone conduction audiometry and auditory brainstem response (ABR). Results Vestibular responses were impaired for canal responses (only at high and middle head velocities) and vestibulospinal otolithic responses. Abnormal neural conduction in the central auditory pathways was frequently observed. Oculomotor abnormalities were frequent, mostly hypermetric saccades and gaze instability. Inhibition of the vestibulo-ocular reflex by fixation was normal. Conclusions We show that Friedreich ataxia, even at onset, frequently associate saccadic intrusions, abnormal ABRs and decreased vestibulo-ocular and vestibulospinal responses progressing over time. These sensory impairments combined with ataxia further impair patient’s autonomy. These vestibular, auditory and visual impairments could be used as markers of the severity and progression of the disease. Adding vestibular and auditory testing to Friedreich patient’s evaluation may help physicians improve patient’s management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short duration of post-amputation antibiotic therapy (2-5 days) is recommended in patients with diabetic foot osteomyelitis after total resection of infected bone tissue. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of short-duration post-amputation antibiotic therapy in diabetic patients with total resection of osteomyelitis assessed by sterile bone bacteriological samples obtained from the resection margin. METHODS The endpoint was the absence of osteomyelitis relapse at 6 months, defined as recurrence of osteomyelitis with the need for surgical revision and/or new bone antibiotic therapy. RESULTS Among 15 patients included, 12 (80%) were cured without recurrence of osteomyelitis at 6 months, with a mean duration of antibiotic therapy of 8.3±5.9 days post surgery. This result is comparable to literature data, while all of them reported longer duration of antibiotic therapy and/or shorter follow-up. CONCLUSION Short duration of post-amputation antibiotic therapy in diabetic patients with sterile bacteriological samples obtained from resection margin seems effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal short-term exercise dose to improve glucose tolerance in relation to metabolic flexibility and/or insulin resistance is unknown. Therefore, we tested if short-term, work-matched continuous (CONT) versus interval (INT) exercise training improves glucose tolerance in part by reducing insulin resistance and increasing metabolic flexibility independent of clinically meaningful fat loss in adults with prediabetes. METHODS Subjects (age = 60.9 ± 1.4 yr, body mass index = 33.5 ± 1.1 kg·m) were screened for prediabetes using the American Diabetes Association criteria (75 g oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT] and/or HbA1c) and were randomized to 60 min·d of supervised CONT (n = 17, 70% HRpeak) or work-matched INT (n = 14; 90% HRpeak for 3 min and 50% HRpeak for 3 min) exercise for 12 bouts. Fitness (V˙O2peak) and body composition were assessed pre- and postintervention. A 180-min 75-g OGTT was performed, and glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids were collected to calculate glucose tolerance (tAUC180min) and whole-body as well as adipose tissue insulin resistance pre- and postintervention. RER (indirect calorimetry) was also measured at 0, 60, 120, and 180 min of the OGTT to assess fasting and postprandial metabolic flexibility. RESULTS CONT and INT training improved V˙O2peak (L·min; P = 0.001) and glucose tolerance (P = 0.01) and reduced fasting RER (P = 0.006), as well as whole-body and adipose insulin resistance (both P = 0.02) with no effect on body fat (P = 0.18). Increased postprandial RER was correlated with reduced glucose tAUC180min (r = -0.38, P = 0.05) and increased 180-min RER related to decreased whole-body insulin resistance (r = -0.42, P = 0.03). CONCLUSION Independent of exercise dose and fat loss, short-term training improves glucose tolerance in relation to enhanced postprandial fuel use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of sofosbuvir (SOF) plus an NS5A inhibitor for 12 weeks is highly efficacious in patients with chronic hepatitis C. As the costs of generic production of sofosbuvir and NS5A inhibitor are rapidly decreasing, the combination of these DAAs will be the standard treatment in most low- to middle-income countries in the future. AIM To identify key predictors of response that can be used to tailor treatment decisions. METHODS A cohort of 216 consecutive patients infected with HCV genotype 1 (1a: n = 57; 1b: n = 77), 2 (n = 4), 3 (n = 33) or 4 (n = 44) were treated with sofosbuvir (SOF) + daclatasvir (n = 176) or SOF + ledipasvir (n = 40) for 12 weeks. The viral kinetics was analysed using the biphasic model and the cure boundary was used to predict time to clear HCV. RESULTS The overall SVR rate was high (94.4%; n = 204), regardless of the time to viral suppression or low-level viraemia at the end of treatment. The model-based predicted HCV RNA levels at the end of treatment could not differentiate patients who did from those who did not achieve SVR. The presence of NS5A resistance-associated substitutions [position 28 (OR = 70.3, P<.001) and/or 31 (OR = 61.6, P = .002)] at baseline was predictive of virological failure in cirrhotic patients but was not associated with on-treatment viral kinetics. CONCLUSION This real-world study confirms the excellent results of clinical trials with therapies based on a combination of SOF plus an NS5A inhibitor. It suggests that a personalized approach including baseline NS5A inhibitor resistance testing may inform treatment decisions in cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
The surgical hand disinfection by friction (SDF) helps to reduce the risk of surgical site infections. For this purpose and in order to promote good compliance to quality care, the urology service of Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud achieved a continuous internal audit to improve the quality of the SDF. METHODS An internal audit executed by the medical students of urology was established in 2013. The study population was all operators, instrumentalists and operating aids of urology operating room (OR). Each student realized 5-10 random observations, of all types of professionals. The criteria measured by the audit were criteria for friction. RESULTS The evolution of indicators was positive. Particularly, the increasing duration of the first and second friction was statistically significant during follow-up (P=0.001). The total duration of friction shows a similar trend for all professionals. CONCLUSION The surgical hand disinfection by friction in the urology OR of the Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud has gradually improved over the iterative audits.

Abstract
Contactin genes CNTN5 and CNTN6 code for neuronal cell adhesion molecules that promote neurite outgrowth in sensory-motor neuronal pathways. Mutations of CNTN5 and CNTN6 have previously been reported in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), but very little is known on their prevalence and clinical impact. In this study, we identified CNTN5 and CNTN6 deleterious variants in individuals with ASD. Among the carriers, a girl with ASD and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder was carrying five copies of CNTN5. For CNTN6, both deletions (6/1534 ASD vs 1/8936 controls; P=0.00006) and private coding sequence variants (18/501 ASD vs 535/33480 controls; P=0.0005) were enriched in individuals with ASD. Among the rare CNTN6 variants, two deletions were transmitted by fathers diagnosed with ASD, one stop mutation CNTN6W923X was transmitted by a mother to her two sons with ASD and one variant CNTN6P770L was found de novo in a boy with ASD. Clinical investigations of the patients carrying CNTN5 or CNTN6 variants showed that they were hypersensitive to sounds (a condition called hyperacusis) and displayed changes in wave latency within the auditory pathway. These results reinforce the hypothesis of abnormal neuronal connectivity in the pathophysiology of ASD and shed new light on the genes that increase risk for abnormal sensory perception in ASD.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation that contributes to disease pathophysiology. Exercise has anti-inflammatory effects, but the impact of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a single session of HIIT on cellular, molecular, and circulating markers of inflammation in individuals with T2D. Participants with T2D (n = 10) and healthy age-matched controls (HC; n = 9) completed an acute bout of HIIT (7 × 1 min at ~85% maximal aerobic power output, separated by 1 min of recovery) on a cycle ergometer with blood samples obtained before (Pre), immediately after (Post), and at 1 h of recovery (1-h Post). Inflammatory markers on leukocytes were measured by flow cytometry, and TNF-α was assessed in both LPS-stimulated whole blood cultures and plasma. A single session of HIIT had an overall anti-inflammatory effect, as evidenced by 1) significantly lower levels of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 surface protein expression on both classical and CD16+ monocytes assessed at Post and 1-h Post compared with Pre (P < 0.05 for all); 2) significantly lower LPS-stimulated TNF-α release in whole blood cultures at 1-h Post (P < 0.05 vs. Pre); and 3) significantly lower levels of plasma TNF-α at 1-h Post (P < 0.05 vs. Pre). There were no differences between T2D and HC, except for a larger decrease in plasma TNF-α in HC vs. T2D (group × time interaction, P < 0.05). One session of low-volume HIIT has immunomodulatory effects and provides potential anti-inflammatory benefits to people with, and without, T2D.

Abstract
The α-ASTREE e-Tongue instrument uses seven sensors to characterize taste signals associated with a liquid sample. The instrument was used to study eight test preparations (comprised of a blank, four preparations corresponding to four known tastes and Sodium Topiramate in three concentrations known to have a bitter taste) and eight washes. Serially balanced residual effects designs were used to order the samples to estimate residual and main effects. The design provided for eight repeated measurements per test preparation. The experimental results suggested the following: (1) The seven sensors can be separated into three groups according to the ability to discriminate test preparations, and three of the sensors contributed little or no information. Further investigation suggested the lack of differentiability might be due to the age of the sensors. (2) The sensors discriminated known tastes from blank. The residual effect due to test preparations might appear after repeated usage. (3) Exploratory principal component analysis of the data indicated that nearly 90% of the total variability across the seven sensors could be explained by a single principal component. (4) The four standard taste preparations did not correspond to orthogonal dimensions in the principal component axes. (5) The three Sodium Topiramate test preparations could neither be associated with the corresponding known bitter taste sample nor could the three doses be shown to follow a quantitative dose-response relationship on the e-Tongue measurement scale. The practical interpretation of the results of the statistical analysis indicates only poor discriminative ability of the e-Tongue to distinguish clearly between increasing concentrations of a known bitter compound such as Sodium Topiramate. No apparent linear relationship could be discerned over increasing concentrations that would allow the quantification of bitterness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to appreciate the results of short-tympanostomy tubes (ST) in case of recurrent acute otitis media (AOM), and to appreciate the risk factors of recurrent AOM. METHODS This retrospective chart study concerns infants who had STT placement surgery forrecurrent AOM, between 2007 and 2011. Demographic data, anamnesis, efficacy and postoperative follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS Forty-nine children were included in the study (30 boys, 19 girls; 7 months to 2 years-old, median age 1.4 year). Two-thirds attended a day-care center, one third was an onlychild. One quarter had an anemia. Anti-Haemophilus and anti-pneumococcus vaccinations were up-to-date in 87.5%. After STT placement, 20 children (40.8%) did not present any new episode of AOM. This result did not vary with adenoidectomy. Among the ones that relapsed AOM after STT, 48.3% presented with only one episode. For two thirds of the patients, no general antibiotic treatment was necessary as long as the STT were in place. Half STT have been spontaneously expulsed between 6 and 12 months. Thirteen infants (37.1%) had new episodes of AOM after STT expulsion and 5 (38.5%) needed new tube placement. CONCLUSION This study confirms that day care and siblings are risk factors of recurrent AOM, but does not confirm potential role of the anemia. STT placement decreased effectively AOM recurrences, their severity and the need for antibiotics prescriptions. No residual perforation was encountered in this study.

Abstract
Owing to its selectivity, diffraction is a powerful tool for analysing the mechanical behaviour of polycrystalline materials at the mesoscale (phase and/or grain scale).In situneutron diffraction during tensile tests and elastoplastic self-consistent modelling were used to study slip phenomena occurring on crystallographic planes at small and large deformation. The critical resolved shear stresses in both phases of duplex stainless steel were found for samples subjected to different thermal treatments. The evolution of grain loading was also determined by showing the large differences between stress concentration for grains in ferritic and austenitic phases. It was found that, for small loads applied to the sample, linear elastic deformation occurs in both phases. When the load increases, austenite starts to deform plastically, while ferrite remains in the elastic range. Finally, both phases undergo plastic deformation until sample fracture. By using an original calibration of diffraction data, the range of the study was extended to large sample deformation. As a result, mechanical effects that can be attributed to damage processes initiated in ferrite were observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although new approaches to the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are significantly prolonging their lives, most patients will eventually develop respiratory failure due to progressive bronchiectasis caused by chronic lung infection and inflammation and die from to respiratory failure. We examined our center's (University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics) experience with lung transplantation for patients with CF and reviewed the literature to examine current and evolving approaches to transplantation for this indication. METHODS We reviewed all published literature pertaining to lung transplantation for CF through 2006, and we reviewed all aspects of transplantation for patients with CF at our institution from 1994 to 2005. RESULTS Major complications following lung transplantation include acute rejection, bacterial infection, and bronchiolitis obliterans. Five-year survival at UWHC (Kaplan-Meier) is 67%, and survival was not adversely affected by transplanting patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The major cause of death for transplant recipients was bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). CONCLUSIONS Lung transplantation for CF is associated with acceptable survival rates and can improve quality of life. Lung transplant should be offered to all patients with advanced CF lung disease if they meet currently accepted inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Abstract
A total of 206 recent throat isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes collected between 2002 and 2004 from children were tested for their susceptibility to penicillin, amoxycillin, erythromycin, clarythromycin and clindamycin. The erythromycin resistant isolates were further studied for their genetic mechanism of resistance by means of PCR. In all, 14.5% of the strains were erythromycin resistant and 13.5 and 1% expressed the constitutive MLS(B) and M resistance phenotypes and harbored the ermB and mef A genes respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current guidelines recommend that only tonsillopharyngitis due to group A beta-haemolytic streptococcus (GABHS) diagnosed by rapid diagnostic test should be treated with antibiotics. Empirical antibiotic therapy must be based on epidemiological surveillance of resistance of GABHS to antibiotics. The aim of our study was to assess the activity of antimicrobial agents currently recommended for the treatment of GABHS tonsillopharyngitis. Method The activity of penicillin G, amoxicillin, cefaclor, cefpodoxime, cefuroxime, erythromycin, clarithromycin and clindamycin was determined against 93 consecutive GABHS isolates collected in 2002. MIC50 and MIC90 of antibiotics tested were determined by agar dilution method according to CA-SFM guidelines. Macrolide resistance genes (ermA, ermB, mef) were detected by PCR. Genetic diversity of erythromycin-resistant isolates was analysed by pulsotypic method after digestion by SmaI (Finger-printing II, Biorad). RESULTS The activity of beta-lactam agents tested was similar and no resistant strain was detected (0%). Nevertheless, this study shows an increasing emergence of erythromycin-resistant GABHS strains reaching 14% in 2002 (vs. 6.2% in a previous study carried out in 1996-1999). CONCLUSION The empirical antibiotic therapy of tonsillopharyngitis must consider, on the one hand, the high risk of GABHS eradication failure associated with in vitro resistance to erythromycin and clarithromycin, and on the other hand, the sustained susceptibility of GABHS to beta-lactam agents. These results reinforce the recommendations to use beta-lactam agents as first line treatment of GABHS tonsillopharyngitis.
