    Abstract On 5 December 2018, a magnitude M w 7.5 earthquake occurred southeast of Maré, an island of the Loyalty Islands archipelago, New Caledonia. This earthquake is located at the junction between the plunging Loyalty Ridge and the southern part of the Vanuatu Arc, in a tectonically complex and very active area regularly subjected to strong seismic crises and earthquakes higher than magnitude 7 and up to 8. Widely felt in New Caledonia, it was immediately followed by a tsunami warning, confirmed shortly after by a first wave arrival at the Loyalty Islands tide gauges (Maré and Lifou), and then along the east coast of Grande Terre of New Caledonia and in several islands of the Vanuatu Archipelago. Two solutions of the seafloor initial deformation are considered for tsunami generation modeling, one using a non-uniform finite-source model from USGS and the other being a uniform slip model built from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor (GCMT) solution, with the geological knowledge of the region and empirical laws establishing relationships between the moment magnitude and the fault plane geometry. Both tsunami generation and propagation are simulated using the Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM), an open-source modeling code solving the shallow-water equations on an unstructured grid allowing refinement in many critical areas. The results of numerical simulations are compared to tide gauge records, field observations and testimonials from 2018. Careful inspection of wave amplitude and wave energy maps for the two simulated scenarios shows clearly that the heterogeneous deformation model is inappropriate, while it raises the importance of the fault plane geometry and azimuth for tsunami amplitude and directivity. The arrival times, wave amplitude and polarities obtained with the uniform slip model are globally coherent, especially in far-field locations (Hienghène, Poindimié and Port Vila). Due to interactions between the tsunami waves and the numerous bathymetric structures like the ...

    Abstract The natural chalcopyrite mineral CuFeS2 is a semiconductor material with potential for thermoelectric applications. This study presents the thermoelectric properties – electrical resistivity ρ, Seebeck coefficient S and thermal conductivity κ – of the substituted on the Cu site and/or sulfur deficient CuFeS2 chalcopyrite based series Cu1−xMxFeS2−y (M = Mn, Co, Ni, x ≤ 0.05 and y ≤ 0.02). All samples have been densified by spark plasma sintering, allowing proper measurements of S, ρ and κ at high temperature. All compounds show n-type semiconducting properties with large absolute values of S, from −220 to −340 μV K−1. Maximum ZT values up to 0.20 at 623 K were obtained for Cu0.97Mn0.03FeS2 and Cu0.98Co0.02FeS1.98. The veracity of Mn for Cu substitution into the structure has been confirmed by EDS analyses, coupled to electron diffraction within a transmission electron microscope. The latter study demonstrates the existence of twinned domains. The thermal conductivity reaches values as low as κ ∼ 1.2 W m−1 K−1 at 623 K. The magnetic properties of a Mn substituted sample did not show any significant modification in the magnetic behavior compared to the pristine CuFeS2 compound. The small negative magnetoresistance observed in CuFeS2 of about −2% at 5 K in 9 T is degraded in the Mn substituted sample.

    Abstract The Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 has defined body mass index (BMI) <20 as indicative of frailty, which may be one of the co-morbidities not captured by traditional risk factors after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study aimed to assess the impact of low BMI on clinical outcomes after TAVR. A total of 777 consecutive patients scheduled for TAVR were classified into 3 groups as BMI <20 (n = 56), 20 to 24.9 (n = 322), and ≥25 (n = 399). Procedural complications and clinical outcomes were compared among the 3 groups. They were also analyzed according to propensity-matching model A (BMI <20 [n = 50] vs ≥20 [n = 50]), model B (BMI <20 [n = 50] vs 20 to 24.9 [n = 50]), and model C (BMI <20 [n = 47] vs ≥25 [n = 47]). The differences in baseline characteristics among the 3 groups were adequately adjusted in 3 matched models. Valve Academic Research Consortium-2-defined end points and other complications were similar among the 3 groups in each model. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated no significant differences in cumulative 30-day survival (BMI <20 [91.0%] vs 20 to 24.9 [86.3%], p = 0.33; BMI <20 [91.0%] vs ≥25 [91.4%], p = 0.91, respectively) and 1-year survival (BMI <20 [74.3%] vs 20 to 24.9 [71.8%], p = 0.71; BMI <20 [74.3%] vs ≥25 [77.0%], p = 0.71; respectively). These survival rates were also similar in each of the 3 matched models. In conclusion, BMI <20 was not associated with increased early or midterm mortality. BMI <20 alone may not constitute an additional co-morbidity factor in patients who underwent TAVR.

    Abstract We report the dissemination of a conjugative IncI1 plasmid carrying bla(CTX-M-1), conferring resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins, in Salmonella enterica isolates from poultry and humans in France from 2003 to 2008. By IncI1 plasmid subtyping, this plasmid was shown to be genetically related to that found in Escherichia coli isolates from healthy poultry in France.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare translocation rate using either M-FISH or FISH-3 in two patients treated for head and neck cancer, with a view to retrospective dosimetry.
    Materials and methods: Translocation analysis was performed on peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures from blood samples taken at different times during the radiotherapy (0 Gy, 12 Gy and 50 Gy) and a few months after the end of the treatment (follow-up).
    Results: Estimated translocation yield varied according to the FISH technique used. At 50 Gy and follow-up points, the translocation yields were higher with FISH-3 than with M-FISH. This difference can be attributed to three events. First, an increase in complex aberrations was observed for 50 Gy and follow-up points compared with 0 Gy and 12 Gy points. Second, at the end of treatment for patient A, involvement of chromosomes 2, 4, 12 in translocations was less than expected according to the Lucas formula. Third, a clone bearing a translocation involving a FISH-3 painted chromosome was detected.
    Conclusions: More translocations were detected with M-FISH than with FISH-3, and so M-FISH is expected to improve the accuracy of chromosome aberration analyses in some situations.

    Abstract The paper deals with the problem of possible ruin when providing insurance coverage for an epidemic. The model studied is an SIS type epidemic which generalizes the well-known logistic model. Contractually, the premiums are paid by susceptible people while the care costs are reimbursed to infected people via an annuity or a lump-sum benefit. Our goal is to determine the distribution of the main statistics of the ruin when it occurs during the epidemic. The case where the reserve alternates between normal and epidemic episodes is also discussed using a Brownian modeling of the reserve. Finally, some of the results are illustrated for two particular SIS epidemic models.

    Abstract Background: In Belgium, the Planning Commission for Medical Supply is responsible for monitoring human resources for health (HRH) and ultimately proposing workforce quotas. It is supported by the Planning Unit for the Supply of the Health Professions. This Unit quantifies and forecasts the workforce in the healthcare professions on the basis of a stock and flow model, based on trends observed in the past. In 2019, the Planning Unit asked the KCE (Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre) to develop additional forecasting scenarios for the midwifery workforce, to complement the standard historical trend approach. The aim of this paper is to present the development of such forecasting scenarios.
    Methods: The Robust Workforce Planning Framework, developed by the Centre for Workforce Intelligence in the UK was used to develop alternative midwifery workforce scenarios. The framework consists of four steps (Horizon scanning, Scenario generation, Workforce modelling, and Policy analysis), the first two of which were undertaken by KCE, using two online surveys and five workshops with stakeholders.
    Results: Three alternative scenarios are proposed. The first scenario (close to the current situation) envisages pregnancy and maternity care centred on gynaecologists working either in a hospital or in private practice. The second scenario describes an organisation of midwife-led care in hospitals. In the third scenario, care is primarily organised by primary care practitioners (midwives and general practitioners) in outpatient settings.
    Conclusions: The Robust Workforce Planning Framework provides an opportunity to adjust the modelling of the health workforce and inform decision-makers about the impact of their future decisions on the health workforce.

    Title translation What's new in hyperkalemia management?
    Abstract Hyperkalemia is common in everyday clinical practice, and is a major risk factor for mortality. It mainly affects patients with chronic renal failure (CKD), diabetes or receiving treatment with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (iRAAS). Therapeutic management aims not only to avoid the complications of hyperkalemia, but also to avoid discontinuation of cardio- and nephroprotective treatments such as iRAAS. The use of polystyrene sulfonate, widely prescribed, is often limited by patient acceptability. Recent data have cast doubt on its safety, particularly in terms of digestive tolerance. Two new potassium exchange molecules have appeared on the market: patiromer and zirconium sulfonate. Their value in clinical practice, and their acceptability in the event of prolonged prescription, remain to be demonstrated. The combination of a thiazide diuretic or an inhibitor of the sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (iSGLT2) with iRAAS therapy in CKD, may also improve control of kalemia. At present, there are no recommendations for the positioning of the various hypokalemic treatments. The choice of these treatments must be adapted to the patient's pathologies and consider the other expected effects of these molecules.
