Et si l’on s’intéressait aussi à la santé mentale des médecins de famille? [What if we also focused on the mental health of family physicians?]
No full textMaintaining the well-being of healthcare professionals is a fundamental objective of any sustainable healthcare system. In this context, family physicians face significant mental health risks, partly linked to high stress levels. A key difficulty lies in the objective measurement of psychological distress. The Physician Well-being Index has been developed for this purpose and has demonstrated promising predictive qualities. The issue of primary care professionals' mental health must also be considered in the broader context of evolving organizational structures. Although these developments are presented as remedies for the overwhelming workload of family physicians, the sparse empirical evidence does not reliably indicate improvements in their well-being
Invasive Candida infections in solid organ transplant recipients between 2008 and 2020
No full textContemporary data on the epidemiology and outcomes of invasive candidiasis (IC) in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTr) are limited. This retrospective multicenter cohort study, nested within the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study, describes the epidemiology and outcomes of IC in SOTr from 2008 to 2020. Among 4755 patients identified, 205 (4.3%) had 262 episodes of IC. One-year cumulative incidence of IC was 2.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.4, 3.3) and decreased during the study period (P = .046). Candidemia was less frequently encountered (0.67%, 95% CI, 0.47, 0.94) than intra-abdominal (1.4%, 95% CI, 1.1, 1.7) and other infection sites (0.93%, 95% CI, 0.68, 1.2). Most infections occurred in the first year posttransplant (65.3%, 171/262), with Candida albicans being the most common species (69.6%, 181/262), followed by C. glabrata (27.4%, 32/117). All-cause 12-week mortality was 23.5%, highest in liver (34.5%) and heart (30%) transplant recipients. Candidemia was associated with a high 12-week mortality (51.1%), significantly impacting 1-year posttransplant mortality, especially if it occurred in the first 3 months (hazard ratio, 26; 95% CI, 14.2, 47.4). In conclusion, we report high rates of IC, predominantly intra-abdominal, with decreasing incidence during the study period. Mortality remains high, especially for liver and heart transplant recipients and in patients with candidemia. Those observations can inform future prophylactic and other strategies in the care of SOTr.

Communication behavior of the snow leopard (Panthera uncia): understanding marking-behavior patterns to optimize camera-trapping studies
No full textFacilitators and barriers of maternal and infant healthcare access for undocumented migrants in the first 1000 days of life: a systematic review of the literature
No full textAdequate access to maternal and infant healthcare in the first 1000 days of life is concurrent with lifelong well-being and should be guaranteed regardless of nationality, legal status, and social conditions. By exploring how migration status affects the social determinants of health, this review provides a nuanced understanding of the barriers and facilitators encountered accessing healthcare by undocumented women and their infants in the first 1000 days of life. Following the PRISMA guidelines and the registered protocol (CRD42022328220), a literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and Scopus. The search focused on manuscripts including undocumented migrants as study participants and reported direct or indirect data on the utilisation or outcomes of maternal and infant healthcare within the defined first 1000 days of life. Fifty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis was performed to summarise the information obtained from the data extraction process. Identified barriers include legal barriers (e.g. criminalisation of migrants or complexity of administrative procedures) and socio-cultural barriers (e.g. inadequate health literacy and financial challenges). Facilitators encompassed legal facilitators, like dedicated healthcare clinics, and socio-cultural facilitators, such as language support and healthier lifestyle habits. Ethical issues in connection to healthcare access of undocumented migrants in the first 1000 days were also mapped from the included papers. Considering the health consequences on future generations, the economic implications, and the vulnerability of migrant women, the findings offer positive examples that could be put into place to move towards universal health coverage through a holistic approach that shifts from exclusion and criminalisation to support and compassion.

Meeting report: 38th international conference on antiviral research in Las Vegas, United States of America, March 17-21, 2025
No full textThe 38th International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR), sponsored by the International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR), took place March 17-21, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The annual meeting brought together leading scientists from across academia, industry, and government to present the latest advances in antiviral research. Topics included discovery and development of novel antiviral agents, innovative therapeutic approaches, vaccine technologies, host-targeted strategies, and responses to emerging and re-emerging viral threats. ICAR 2025 featured keynote talks, short oral presentations, poster sessions and special sessions to encourage discussions between attendees and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Several events were held to support the next generation of antiviral researchers, including dedicated sessions and networking opportunities focused on mentorship and career development for students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career scientists. Importantly, ISAR continues to serve as a cornerstone for international collaboration and innovation in antiviral science, and the society is eager to continue these efforts at the 39th ICAR, to be held in Prague, Czech Republic, from April 27-May 1, 2026.

Stream Restoration for the Spawning of Trout: How to Enhance the Egg to Fry Survival and to Monitor the Spawning Efficiency?
No full textToday, salmonid management is largely based on river restoration. One of the fundamental elements is the creation of functional spawning sites. Key values of sedimentological characteristics must be defined in terms of granulometry, permeability, and oxygen concentration to ensure the best possible success of the operations. These values for the egg-to-fry survival were estimated in three countries (Slovenia, Sweden, and Switzerland) on three salmonid species (brown, marble, and sea trout) across 22 streams and 109 sites. The permeability of the substrate was contingent upon the concentration of fine sediment. The presence of fine particles (with a diameter of less than 1–15 mm) in the substrate at a proportion of 38%–47% resulted in a permeability reduction by a factor of 10. In order for permeability to be significant, the geometrical diameter (dg) of the substrate must exceed 15 mm (Fredle Index, Fi 5.0). The interstitial oxygen concentration may decline to below 80% of the value observed at the surface when the substrate contains 30% or more of fines sediments smaller than 4 mm, 26% of fines smaller than 2 mm, and 22% of fines smaller than 1 mm. The impact of sediment on the interstitial oxygen concentration was found to be greater the finer the sediment was. A reduction in the interstitial oxygen concentration to below 7.5 mg/L (68% of saturation) resulted in a survival rate of less than 30% for eggs at the eyed stage. When the granulometry (dg) of the substrate was greater than 20 mm (Fi > 7.0), the survival of the eggs to the eyed stage was at least 60%. Therefore, it can be concluded that when restoration programs are planned, it is essential to consider these values in order to increase the success of natural spawning of the trout
Silvanus en Eubée : une représentation inédite dans une carrière de marbre d'époque impériale à Styra
No full textUne carrière de marbre située dans la région de Styra, au sud de l’île d’Eubée, a récemment révélé une gravure rupestre inédite. Les auteurs l’ont identifiée comme une représentation du dieu Silvanus. Cette hypothèse est non seulement soutenue par les caractéristiques iconographiques de cette divinité, mais également corroborée par la présence récurrente de Silvanus dans les carrières de l’Empire romain. La présence de ce dieu d’origine occidentale en Eubée témoigne ainsi de la mobilité des carriers des iie-iiie siècles après J.-C., en particulier des soldats spécialisés dans l’extraction de la pierre. Cette découverte enrichit le paysage religieux des carrières de marbre de la région. = A marble quarry in the Styra region, situated
to the south of the island of Evia, has recently yielded evidence of an unrecorded rock engraving. The authors have posited that it represents the god Silvanus. This hypothesis is not only supported by the typical iconography associated with this divinity but also corroborated by the recurrent presence of Silvanus in quarries throughout the Roman Empire. The presence of this deity of western origin in Euboea testifies to the mobility of 2nd 3rd-century AD quarrymen, mainly soldiers specialized in stone quarrying. This discovery also contributes to the understanding of the sacred landscape of the region’s marble quarries
