Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is currently the most feared complication of STEMI. The impact of CVRF on the rate of SCA is still unknown.
Purpose
To assess the association between CVRF and pre-hospital SCA during acute STEMI.
Methods
Data were taken between 2006 and 2014 from the e-MUST study that enrolls all STEMI managed by EMS in the Greater Paris Area, including those dead before hospital admission. Characteristics of patients who presented SCA were compared to those of patients who did not, and multivariable logistic regression was developed including all variables that differed between the two groups, in order to identify characteristics associated with an increased risk of SCA.
Results
Over the study period, 13,253 STEMI patients were included (median age 60.1 [51.4 - 73.0], 78.1% males). Among them, 7,513 patients (58.1%) had ≥2 CVRF, 3,979 (30.8%) had 1 CVRF, and 1,432 (11.1%) did not present any CVRF. Pre-hospital SCA witnessed by emergency medical services occurred in 749 (5.6%) patients. SCA victims were younger compared to the non-SCA group (58.0 vs. 60.3 years (P<0.001), with a higher proportion of patients without known CVRF (17.2 vs. 10.7%, P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in sex ratio (77.5% vs. 78.2%, P=0.69) and presence of past history of coronary artery disease (18.7% vs. 19.5%, P=0.56). Patients with ≥2 CVRF had the lowest rate of SCA (4.6%), while the highest SCA rate occurred among patients without CVRF (8.9%). On multivariate analysis, the presence of ≥2 CVRF was associated with a twice-lower risk of SCA (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.41–0.65, P<0.001, when the group without risk factors was taken as a reference group).
Conclusion
The prevalence of CVRF is high among patients presenting STEMI. However, once STEMI has occurred, presence of CVRF is associated with a lower rate of SCA per STEMI, creating a risk factor paradox in STEMI-related SCA.

Abstract
The design of two-dimensional periodic structures at the nanoscale has renewed attention for band structure engineering. Here, we investigate the nanoperforation of InGaAs quantum wells epitaxially grown on InP substrates using high-resolution e-beam lithography and highly plasma based dry etching. We report on the fabrication of a honeycomb structure with an effective lattice constant down to 23 nm by realising triangular antidot lattice with an ultimate periodicity of 40 nm in a 10 nm thick InGaAs quantum well on a p-type InP. The quality of the honeycomb structures is discussed in detail, and calculations show the possibility to measure Dirac physics in these type of samples. Based on the statistical analysis of the fluctuations in pore size and periodicity, calculations of the band structure are performed to assess the robustness of the Dirac cones with respect to distortions of the honeycomb lattice.

Abstract
Metamorphosis is a critical developmental stage that presents particular challenges in fish aquaculture. The sharp increase in mortality that accompanies this transformation has often been attributed to nutritional deficiencies. Providing live feed (the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis Müller, 1786 and the brine shrimp Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758)) during the larval stages is costly and labour intensive, which explains why much effort has been put on early weaning. However, previous observations in winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus (Walbaum, 1792)) indicate that juveniles weaned after settlement had better survival than those weaned at the larval stage. In this study, we tested whether late weaning (at settlement (W0) and groups maintained on co-feeding for 1 month (W1), two months (W2), or 3 months (W3) after settlement) could improve juvenile survival and lipid composition. Our results demonstrated that maintaining co-feeding beyond the larval stage was essential for after-settlement survival. Juveniles co-fed until 90 days after settlement were 32.5% heavier. Analyses of fatty acid trophic markers suggested that juveniles preferentially fed on enriched rotifers rather than inert food. No pigmentation or fin erosion problems were observed in any of the weaning treatments, which indicates good rearing conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests a graded relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and unfavorable health outcomes as early as in the teenage years. Youths under the welfare protection system represent an especially vulnerable group - presenting traumatic personal trajectory while cumulating family related-risk factors. Among early life adversities, specific experience might have a greatest contribution on the long-term health-risk.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this analysis is to evaluate the contribution of sexual abuse as compare to other ACEs on different health issues in adolescent under court custody.
DESIGN/METHODS: This is a secondary analysis from a cross-sectional health evaluation study of youths in custodial facilities (2011-13). A total of 315 teenagers 14-17 y.o. (134 girls, 181 boys) completed a self-reported questionnaire about their health status and were then evaluated by a nurse/ doctor using a comprehensive standardized data collection checklist. We identified 8 ACEs: (1) single family; (2) violent death of family member; family history of (3) incarceration, (4) mental health issues, (5) substance abuse; personal history of (6) intrafamilial or (7) extrafamilial physical abuse; personal history of (8) sexual abuse. Multiple and logistic regression were performed between the ACEs and a number of relevant variables.
RESULTS: A personal history of sexual abuse was the most consistant ACE predicting negative health outcomes including perceived health status (R2=0.04; p=0.05), number of health problems identified / acute or chronic (p=0.00), psychosomatic complaints (R2=0.12; p=0.00), sleeping problems (OR=2.8; p=0.005), medication (OR=3.5; p=0.01). This trauma was also the most important factor for high-risk sexuality items evaluated: number of sexuality-related problems in girls (R2=0.15; p=0.00), vaginal sex before 13 y.o. (OR=1.8; p=0.48), number of partners (R2=0.04; p=0.03), sex work (OR=9.6; p=0.00), fear of STI (OR=3.2; p=0.001), as it was for mental health issues: mental health disorders (OR=4.3; p=0.00), suicidal ideation (OR=4.0; p=0.00), suicidal attempt (OR=3.6; p=0.00), self-inflicting injuries (R2=0.12 ; p = 0.01), depression (R2=0.08 ; p=0.00), low self-esteem (R2=0.07; p=0.00) and overdose (OR=2.1; p=0.02).
CONCLUSION: Among ACEs, a personal history of sexual abuse seems to be the most contributing factor for significant health outcomes. Some traumatic or adverse childhood events have a greater burden on subsequent health-risk. A simple question could help identified those at higher risk and higher needs for health services in teens under custody.

Abstract
The light absorption of polysilicon planar junctions can be improved using nanostructured top surfaces due to their enhanced light harvesting properties. Nevertheless, associated with the higher surface, the roughness caused by plasma etching and defects located at the grain boundary in polysilicon, the concentration of the recombination centers increases, leading to electrical performance deterioration. In this work, we demonstrate that wet oxidation combined with hydrogen passivation using SiN(x):H are the key technological processes to significantly decrease the surface recombination and improve the electrical properties of nanostructured n(+)-i-p junctions. Nanostructured surface is fabricated by nanosphere lithography in a low-cost and controllable approach. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the successive annealing of silicon nitride films has significant effect on the passivation quality, resulting in some improvements on the efficiency of the Si nanostructure-based solar cell device.

Abstract
Synthesis of nanostructures of uniform size is fundamental because the size distribution directly affects their physical properties. We present experimental data demonstrating a narrowing effect on the length distribution of Ge nanowires synthesized by the Au-catalyzed molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates. A theoretical model is developed that is capable of describing this puzzling behavior. It is demonstrated that the direction of the diffusion flux of sidewall adatoms is size dependent and has a major effect on the growth rate of differently sized nanowires. We also show that there exists a fundamental limitation on the maximum nanowire length that can be achieved by molecular beam epitaxy where the direction of the beam is close to the growth axis.

Abstract
Patients affected by type 1 Gaucher disease (an autosomal recessive inheritance lysosome storage disorder) develop nodular splenomegaly in 20 to 30% of cases where imiglucerase therapy proves ineffective. The lack of response to imiglucerase therapy on spleen nodules could be an indication of the existence or development of a malignant spleen. We report a 47-year-old man with Gaucher disease who presented with a voluminous splenic nodule, in whom therapy was delayed. Regular monitoring of patients is the most important factor to predict and therefore prevent morbidity.

Abstract
The E-MUST registry gathers patient data from the emergency ambulance service of the IIe-de-France for acute coronary syndromes with ST elevation seen within 24 hours from onset of symptoms. The parameters include the type of emergency phone call, details relative to the different phase of management, decisions of therapeutic strategy concerning pre-hospital thrombolysis or primary angioplasty and the different factors influencing these decisions. From January 2001 to June 2002, the mean delay from the onset of symptoms and the call-out of the emergency ambulance was 67.5 minutes for the 2584 patients studied. In this group, a pre-hospital decision for coronary revascularisation was taken in 84.3% of cases, pre-hospital thrombolyis started 33 minutes after arrival of the ambulance (32.7% of cases) and primary angioplasty carried out 81 minutes after that arrival (51.6% of cases). Decisions for revascularisation were less common in the elderly and those seen over 6 hours after the onset of symptoms. Pre-hospital management allows decisions concerning coronary reperfusion to be taken more often and earlier in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To measure severe acute pain (SAP) frequency, to describe SAP management and to bring to view the conditions of analgesia success in emergency medicine. DESIGN Multicentre prospective survey: 7 days in Emergency Departments (ED), 30 days in Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICU). Multivariate analysis to measure the independent effect on pain relief of factors identified by Chi squared test. SETTING All of 6 ED and 8 MICU of a French region. PATIENTS Over 15 years of age. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pain intensity was assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after ED or MICU management. SAP group (defined by initial VAS score > 40 mm) was analyzed for pain relief (defined by final VAS score < or = 40 mm). Influence on pain relief through pain aetiology, initial pain intensity, treatment delay and opioid use was analyzed. RESULTS 1,082 fulfilled medical forms for 3,419 eligible patients. SAP frequency was estimated 36% (CI95 = 34-38%) in ED and 29% (CI95 = 25-33%) in MICU. SAP (n = 368) was often persistent: 45% (CI95 = 43-47%) after discharge from ED and 26% (CI95 = 22-30%) after MICU intervention. The prognostic factors of pain control success revealed by Chi squared test were: MICU (vs ED), treatment delay < or = 3 hours (vs > 3 hours), opioid use (vs non opioid use) and VAS pain level < or = 70 mm (vs > 70 mm). The last 3 factors were confirmed by multivariate analysis. Treatment delay, opioid use, and pain level were found to be determinants of efficient analgesia for SAP. CONCLUSION Despite the high frequency of SAP in ED and MICU, pain control is not satisfying. Opioid use and early treatment are determinant in analgesia efficiency for SAP and should be therefore encouraged to improve pain relief in emergency medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared short-term prognosis of active compression-decompression (ACD) and standard (STD) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomized advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) with ACD ACLS CPR on odd days and STD ACLS CPR on even days. We measured the rates of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival at 1 hour (H1), at 24 hours (H24), and at 1 month (D30): hospital discharge (HD); neurological outcome; and complications. Mean times from collapse to basic cardiac life support CPR was 9 minutes and from collapse to ACLS CPR was 21 minutes. Compared with the STD ACLS patients (n = 258), ACD ACLS patients (n = 254) had higher survival rates (ROSC, 44.9% versus 29.8%, P = .0004; H1, 36.6% versus 24.8%, P = .003; H24, 26% versus 13.6%, P = .002; HD without neurological impairment, 5.5% versus 1.9%, P = .03) and a trend for improvement in neurological outcome at D30 (Glasgow-Pittsburgh Outcome Categories = 1.6 +/- 0.8 versus 2.3 +/- 1.1. P = .09). Sternal dislodgements (2.9% versus 0.4%, P = .03) and hemoptysis (5.4% versus 1.3%, P = .01) were more frequent in the ACD ACLS group. CONCLUSIONS Despite long time intervals, ACD significantly improved short-term survival rates in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests compared with STD CPR.

Abstract
We report on two sibs with syndromal congenital iron storage disease. Prenatal symptoms were IUGR, hydramnios, and placental hyperplasia. Clinical anomalies included hypertelorism and sparse, thin, curly hair (trichomalacia). Clinical course was marked by intractable diarrhoea, with normal histological and enzymological studies, cholestatic jaundice, hepatomegaly appearing after 30 days, and progressive liver failure, leading to death after a few months. The only metabolic anomaly was progressive hypermethioninemia. Pathologic examination of both children showed a similar pattern of multivisceral iron deposit compatible with a diagnosis of neonatal hemochromatosis: extensive liver fibrosis or cirrhosis with nodular regeneration, cholestasis, ductular proliferation, and hepatic, pituitary, thyroidal, adrenal, and pancreatic iron deposition. The unusual course for neonatal hemochromatosis in both sibs combined with concordant extrahepatic anomalies suggest that they could have a specific iron storage syndrome with possible autosomal recessive inheritance, probably similar to the sibship reported by Stanckler et al. [Arch Dis Child, 57:212-216, 1982].

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether continuous semiquantitative assessment of end-tidal CO2 could provide a highly sensitive predictor of return of spontaneous circulation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). DESIGN Prospective, clinical study. SETTING Prehospital CPR. PATIENTS One hundred twenty patients, during nontraumatic cardiac arrest. INTERVENTIONS End-tidal CO2 values were measured continuously after tracheal intubation, and were categorized as the initial value, and as minimal and maximal values during the first 20 mins. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Presenting rhythm was asystole in 22 of the first 24 patients. Return of spontaneous circulation occurred in eight patients. Initial, minimal, and maximal end-tidal CO2 values were significantly (p < .01) higher in these patients than in the patients without return of spontaneous circulation. Cutoff values providing a 100% sensitivity and the highest specificity in predicting return of spontaneous circulation were found to be 10 torr for initial and maximal end-tidal CO2 values, and 2 torr for the minimal end-tidal CO2 value. The number of patients required to reject (with a risk error of <.05) the hypothesis of an actual sensitivity of < or = 90% for an observed sensitivity of 100% was found to be 95. In the second part of the study, this hypothesis was prospectively tested for initial and maximal end-tidal CO2 values in the subsequent 96 patients. Presenting cardiac rhythm was asystole in 87 patients. Return of spontaneous circulation was obtained in 30 patients. The cutoff value of 10 torr for maximal end-tidal CO2 during the first 20 mins after tracheal intubation provided an observed sensitivity of 100% in predicting return of spontaneous circulation with a specificity of 67%. This result allows rejection of the hypothesis of an actual sensitivity of < or = 90% (p = .042). By contrast, the observed sensitivity of initial end-tidal CO2 was only 87%. CONCLUSIONS End-tidal CO2 represents a valuable tool for monitoring patients presenting with asystole during prehospital CPR. Fluctuations in end-tidal CO2 during CPR and the utility of end-tidal CO2 in detecting return of spontaneous circulation justify its continuous measurement. In addition, a high sensitivity (>90%) in predicting return of spontaneous circulation is prospectively demonstrated using the maximal end-tidal CO2 during the first 20 mins after tracheal intubation, with a cutoff value of 10 torr. Such a prognostic indicator could be used for a more rational approach to prolonged CPR.

Abstract
This prospective study was designed to quantify the effect of epinephrine on end-tidal PCO2 (PetCO2) during prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in humans. It included 20 patients (age range, 26 to 90 years) who presented in ventricular asystole on arrival of the prehospital medical team. Protocol began 5 minutes after tracheal intubation and during chest compressions. Mechanical ventilation was applied at constant rate and tidal volume. PetCO2 was measured before and 3 minutes after peripheral intravenous (IV) injection of 2 mg epinephrine. No other resuscitative drugs were administered during the study period. Mean PetCO2 decreased from 16.7 +/- 9.3 mm Hg before epinephrine to 12.6 +/- 7.1 mm Hg after epinephrine. The mean change in PetCO2 was 4.15 +/- 3.5 mm Hg (P < .0001). Four patients exhibited return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The decrease in PetCO2 was similar between the patients who exhibited ROSC and those who did not. There was a significant relationship between the epinephrine-induced change in PetCO2 and the PetCO2 value before epinephrine injection (r = .760; P < .0001). This study demonstrates a variable decrease in PetCO2 after IV epinephrine injection during CPR. Isolated PetCO2 readings may be misleading in assessing CPR efficacy or predicting outcome, and continuous measurement is recommended.

Abstract
General anaesthetics depress swallowing and this is a reason to delay oral intake after general anaesthesia. The swallowing reflex was studied 2 h after general anaesthesia for patients undergoing colonoscopy. Forty-one patients were anaesthetized with midazolam 75 micrograms.kg-1 followed by a continuous infusion of propofol and 39 patients with propofol 1.5 mg.kg-1 bolus followed by an infusion. Swallowing reflex was measured by electromyography 2 h after induction of anaesthesia, before and 5 min after the administration of flumazenil (0.2 mg) or placebo. Two h after anaesthesia, the state of consciousness was almost normal in all patients and did not change after flumazenil. At two hours, the latency times for the swallowing reflex in patients treated with propofol alone were of 1.4 +/- 0.4 s and were significantly shorter (P < 0.05) than the value of 1.9 +/- 0.8 s observed in patients who received midazolam with propofol. In the latter group the latency time of the swallowing reflex was significantly reduced following the administration of flumazenil but not placebo. In patients who received propofol without midazolam, the administration of flumazenil or placebo was not associated with significant changes in the latency times. There were also no significant differences in the latency times in the subgroup that received midazolam followed by flumazenil and the propofol alone groups that did or did not receive flumazenil. These results suggest that midazolam still exerts a depressive effect on the swallowing reflex 2 h after its administration despite the recovery of normal consciousness.

Abstract
The administration of low doses of muscle relaxant may cause peripheral muscular weakness including difficulty in swallowing. In the present study, the effect of priming doses of atracurium and vecuronium on swallowing was studied. Sixty patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were divided randomly into four groups of 15 patients and received as a priming dose either vecuronium (10 or 15 micrograms/kg) or atracurium (50 or 75 micrograms/kg). Swallowing muscle activity was measured by electromyography using submental surface electrodes. Swallowing was initiated by administration of 0.3 ml distilled water through an oral catheter. Swallowing reflex was determined by measuring the latency time (i.e., time from water administration to start of EMG activity of glossal muscles). Swallowing activity was determined by integration of the EMG of glossal muscles during swallowing. Peripheral muscle strength was determined by hand grip strength. Swallowing reflex activity and peripheral muscle strength were measured before and 3 and 6 min after administration of vecuronium or atracurium. Latency time remained unchanged after any of the priming doses. Integrated EMG decreased significantly (P < .001) 3 and 6 min after all priming doses tested (42-75% of baseline value). Only after atracurium 75 micrograms/kg was the hand grip strength significantly decreased (P < .01). These results suggest that owing to its effect on swallowing, the priming dose should be used with caution.
