    Abstract Drug repurposing can be an interesting strategy for an emergency response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2, (SARS-COV-2), the causing agent of the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. For this, we applied the Connectivity Map (CMap) bioinformatic resource to identify drugs that generate, in the CMap database, gene expression profiles (GEP) that negatively correlate with a SARS-COV-2 GEP, anticipating that these drugs could antagonize the deleterious effects of the virus at cell, tissue or organism levels. We identified several anti-cancer compounds that target MDM2 in the p53 pathway or signaling proteins: Ras, PKBβ, Nitric Oxide synthase, Rho kinase, all involved in the transmission of proliferative and growth signals. We hypothesized that these drugs could interfere with the high rate of biomass synthesis in infected cells, a feature shared with cancer cells. Other compounds including etomoxir, triacsin-c, PTB1-IN-3, are known to modulate lipid metabolism or to favor catabolic reactions by activating AMPK. Four different anti-inflammatory molecules, including dexamethasone, fluorometholone and cytosporone-b, targeting the glucocorticoid receptor, cyclooxygenase, or NUR77 also came out of the analysis. These results represent a first step in the characterization of potential repositioning strategies to treat SARS-COV-2.

    Abstract We report the case of a 5.5-year-old patient (16 kg/105 cm) who presented with plastic bronchitis (PB) refractory to conservative treatment 3 months after completion of Fontan palliation. Bi-inguinal transnodal fluoroscopy-guided lymphangiogram confirmed the chylous leak originating from the thoracic duct (TD) into the chest and did not opacify any central lymphatic vessel for direct transabdominal puncture. Retrograde transfemoral approach was adopted to catheterize the TD and selectively embolize its caudal portion using microcoils and liquid embolic adhesive. Recurrence of symptoms after 2 months indicated a redo catheterization to occlude the TD entirely using the same technique. The procedure was successful and the patient was discharged after 2 days with sustained clinical improvement at 24 months postoperative. In the context of refractory PB, end-to-end transvenous retrograde embolization of the TD appears to be an interesting alternative to more complex interventions such as transabdominal puncture, decompression, or surgical ligation of the TD.

    Abstract Numerous studies report different types of responses following exposure of plants to high frequency electromagnetic fields (HF-EMF). While this phenomenon is related to tissue heating in animals, the situation is much less straightforward in plants where metabolic changes seem to occur without tissue temperature increase. We have set up an exposure system allowing reliable measurements of tissue heating (using a reflectometric probe and thermal imaging) after a long exposure (30 min) to an electromagnetic field of 2.45 GHz transmitted through a horn antenna (about 100 V m

    Abstract Modeling the interface between the lower limb segments and a socket, orthosis or exoskeleton is crucial to the design, control, and assessment of such devices. The present study aimed to estimate translational and rotational soft tissue stiffness at the thigh and shank during daily living activities performed by six subjects. Smooth orthogonal decomposition (SOD) was used on skin marker trajectories and fluoroscopy-based knee joint kinematics to compute stiffness coefficients during squatting, sitting and rising from a chair, level walking, and stair descending. On average, for all subjects and for all activities, in the anatomical directions observed, the translational and rotational stiffness coefficients for the shank were, respectively, 1.4 ± 1.99kN/m (median and interquartile range) and 41.5 ± 34.3Nm/deg. The results for the thigh segment were 1.79 ± 2.73kN/m and 30.5 ± 50.4Nm/deg. As previously reported in the literature dealing with the soft tissue artifact - considered as soft tissue deformation in this study - the computed stiffness coefficients were dependent on tasks, subjects, segments, and anatomical directions. The main advantage of SOD over previous methods lies in enabling estimation of a task-dependent 6 × 6 stiffness matrix of the interface between segments and external devices, useful in their modeling and assessment.

    Abstract As a part of modern technological environments, virtual microscopy enriches histological learning, with support from large institutional investments. However, existing literature does not supply empirical evidence of its role in improving pedagogy. Virtual microscopy provides fresh opportunities for investigating user behavior during the histology learning process, through digitized histological slides. This study establishes how students' perceptions and user behavior data can be processed and analyzed using machine learning algorithms. These also provide predictive data called learning analytics that enable predicting students' performance and behavior favorable for academic success. This information can be interpreted and used for validating instructional designs. Data on the perceptions, performances, and user behavior of 552 students enrolled in a histology course were collected from the virtual microscope, Cytomine®. These data were analyzed using an ensemble of machine learning algorithms, the extra-tree regression method, and predictive statistics. The predictive algorithms identified the most pertinent histological slides and descriptive tags, alongside 10 types of student behavior conducive to academic success. We used these data to validate our instructional design, and align the educational purpose, learning outcomes, and evaluation methods of digitized histological slides on Cytomine®. This model also predicts students' examination scores, with an error margin of <0.5 out of 20 points. The results empirically demonstrate the value of a digital learning environment for both students and teachers of histology.

    Abstract Background: Imaging of the salivary ductal system is relevant prior to an endoscopic or a surgical procedure. Various imaging modalities can be used for this purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic capability of three-dimensional (3D)-cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) sialography versus magnetic resonance (MR) sialography in non-tumorous salivary pathologies.
    Methods: This prospective, monocenter, pilot study compared both imaging modalities in 46 patients (mean age 50.1 ± 14.9 years) referred for salivary symptoms. The analyses were performed by two independent radiologists and referred to identification of a salivary disease including sialolithiasis, stenosis, or dilatation (primary endpoint). The location and size of an abnormality, the last branch of division of the salivary duct that can be visualized, potential complications, and exposure parameters were also collected (secondary endpoints).
    Results: Salivary symptoms involved both the submandibular (60.9%) and parotid (39.1%) glands. Sialolithiasis, dilatations, and stenosis were observed in 24, 25, and 9 patients, respectively, with no statistical differences observed between the two imaging modalities in terms of lesion identification (p
    Conclusions: Both imaging procedures warrant being part of the diagnostic arsenal of non-tumorous salivary pathologies. However, MR sialography may be more effective than 3D-CBCT sialography for the identification of sialolithiasis and ductal dilatations.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare the overall diagnostic outcomes of 3D-CBCT sialography and ultrasonography (US) in the detection of sialolithiasis, ductal dilatation, and ductal stenosis.
    Methods: This retrospective monocentric study compared the two imaging modalities carried out in the same patients referred for salivary symptoms of the parotid and submandibular glands. The primary endpoint was the capacity of the imaging procedure to diagnose a lesion. The secondary objectives were the detection rates according to the type of lesion, analysis of the causes of failure, and the parameters of radiation exposure and safety (for 3D-CBCT sialography).
    Results: Of the 236 patients who received a 3D-CBCT sialography in our institution, 157 were ultimately included in the per-protocol analysis. 3D-CBCT sialography allowed detection of ductal lesions in 113 patients versus 86 with US. The two imaging modalities yielded congruent interpretations in 104 out of 157 subjects (66.2%). Higher sensitivity and negative predictive value were observed with 3D-CBCT sialography compared with US, irrespective of the lesions studied: 0.85
    Conclusions: US remains the first-line examination for exploration of the salivary lesions. 3D-CBCT sialography is an alternative in case of inconclusive US, and prior to any endoscopic procedure.

    Abstract Introduction: Vertical stability after a Le Fort I (LF1) osteotomy with substantial upward movement can be compromised by the position and the volume of the inferior turbinate. A horseshoe (HS) osteotomy represents then an alternative as it preserves the hard palate and the intranasal volume. The aim of this study was to assess the vertical stability of the maxilla after HS osteotomy.
    Materials and methods: Patients who underwent a HS osteotomy for the correction of long-face syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. The vertical stability was assessed on lateral cephalograms performed preoperatively (T0), immediately postoperatively (T1), and at the last follow-up (T2) by studying points C (the distal cusp of the first maxillary molar), point P (the prosthion, the lowest edge of the maxillary alveolus of the central incisor), and point I (the upper central incisor edge) in a coordinate system. Postoperative complications and aesthetics of the smile were also investigated.
    Results: Fifteen patients were included (7 females, 8 males, mean age 25.5 ± 9.8 yeras). The mean impaction ranged from 5 mm on point P to 6.1 mm on point C, with a maximal movement of 9.5 mm. A non-significant relapse of 0.8 ± 1.7, 0.6 ± 0.8, and 0.5 ± 1.8 mm was observed after a mean 20.7 months on point C, P, and I respectively. Smile parameters were significantly improved by the procedure, mainly regarding the correction of the gum smile.
    Conclusion: HS osteotomy represents a good alternative to total LF1 osteotomy for substantial maxillary upward movement in long face syndrome deformities.
