    Abstract The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Na intake and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on body composition. The study was also intended to assess whether Na intake and/or CRF mediate the genetic susceptibility to obesity. Analyses were performed on a sample of 526 adult participants from the Quebec Family Study for whom a complete data set was available for nutrient and energy intake, CRF and body composition variables. The effects of Na, CRF and their interaction were analysed by comparing sex-specific tertiles using general linear mixed models. In both males and females, we observed a significant effect of Na intake and CRF on all body composition variables. However, in females only, we found that the effect of Na intake on body composition variables varies according to CRF level such that high Na intake was associated with increased body fatness, but only in females with low CRF. This interaction effect remained significant after statistical adjustment for total sugar, fat and energy intake. Using mediation analysis, we also found Na intake and CRF to be significant mediators of the relationship between a polygenic risk score of obesity based on > 500 000 genetic variants and BMI or waist circumference. In conclusion, the current study shows that Na intake influences body composition via mechanisms that interact with aerobic fitness, especially in females. Furthermore, both Na intake and CRF seem to be involved in the expression of the genetic susceptibility to obesity.

    Abstract The Covid-19 health crisis forced the French emergency call centers (SAMU), to quickly adapt and reorganize on a daily basis. Call centers had to come up with specific responses to all types of calls and was to be the gatekeeper of the surge in referrals of elderly patients to in-hospital emergency departments. SAMU 94 and the Health faculty of the University of Créteil, France, jointly set up an online unit dedicated to nursing homes. Feedback shows that this geriatric unit is a valuable concept and that we should not wait for a second-wave crisis to consolidate its foundations.

    Abstract Background: Recent studies showed that eating behaviors such as disinhibition, emotional and external eating, and snacking mediate genetic susceptibility to obesity. It remains unknown if diet quality and intake of specific food groups also mediate the genetic susceptibility to obesity.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess if diet quality and intakes of specific food groups mediate the association between a polygenic risk score (PRS) for BMI and BMI and waist circumference (WC). We hypothesized that poor diet quality, high intakes of energy-dense food groups, and low intakes of nutrient-dense food groups mediate the genetic susceptibility to obesity.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study included 750 participants (56.3% women, aged 41.5 ± 14.9 y, BMI 27.8 ± 7.5 kg/m2) from the Quebec Family Study. A PRSBMI based on >500,000 genetic variants was calculated using LDpred2. Dietary intakes were assessed with a 3-d food record from which a diet quality score (i.e. Nutrient Rich Food Index 6.3) and food groups were derived. Mediation analyses were conducted using a regression-based and bootstrapping approach.
    Results: The PRSBMI explained 25.7% and 19.8% of the variance in BMI and WC, respectively. The association between PRSBMI and BMI was partly mediated by poor diet quality (β = 0.33 ± 0.12; 95% CI: 0.13, 0.60), high intakes of fat and high-fat foods (β = 0.46 ± 0.16; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.79) and sugar-sweetened beverages (β = 0.25 ± 0.14; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.60), and low intakes of vegetables (β = 0.15 ± 0.08; 95% CI: 0.03, 0.32), fruits (β = 0.37 ± 0.12; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.64), and dairy products (β = 0.17 ± 0.09; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.37). The same trends were observed for WC.
    Conclusions: The genetic susceptibility to obesity was partly mediated by poor diet quality and intakes of specific food groups. These results suggest that improvement in diet quality may reduce obesity risk among individuals with high genetic susceptibility and emphasize the need to intervene on diet quality among these individuals.

    Title translation Securing patients pathways treated by oral antitumoral: Guidelines for better organization of departments and management of incoming calls.
    Abstract The emergence of oral cancer treatment in oncology has shifted patient follow-up from the hospital to the home. This trend has resulted in an increase in phone and e-mail interactions initiated by patients, but also by pharmacists, by liberal nurses, by general practitioners, and an increase in calls to the emergency response services (SAMU) both for real or perceived emergencies. This increased volume of patient and pharmacist communication has caused significant disruption in the daily activity of affected oncology departments and in particular of the secretariats. The procedures for formulating and securing appropriate responses within a short time frame are generally not established, and as a result, there is a risk that decisions made could be inappropriate for the patient's situation, especially in the case of complications.. Tracking responses to phone calls is necessary and answers should be noted in the medical file, including side effects, in particular the serious AEs for a good quality of care. This guideline describes best practices for oncologists who manage "incoming" calls from patients or professionals involved in the care pathway.

Chemical and isotopic ratios are used to characterize weathering processes and the origin of waters and their flow paths through the massif. A mixing model allows us to allocate the different major elements to different sources, to identify secondary carbonate formation as a major process affecting solutes in the subsurface waters of the instability, and to quantify the involvement of sulfuric and carbonic acids as a source of protons. We show that the instability creates favorable and sustained conditions for the production of sulfuric acid by pyrite oxidation, by opening new fractures and supplying fresh reactive surfaces. We clearly identify the contribution of the dissolution of each mineral phase to the chemistry of the waters, with a clear role of remote gypsum dissolution to the sulfate budget in the sampled waters. We are also able to refine the preexisting hydrogeological views on the local water circulation and water flow paths in the instability by showing the hydrological connectivity of the different zones. Overall, our results show that the Séchilienne landslide, despite its role in accelerating rock chemical and physical weathering, acts as a geological source of CO 2 to the atmosphere. If generalizable to other large instabilities in mountain ranges, this study illustrates the complex coupling between physical and chemical erosion and their impact on the carbon cycle and global climate. The study also highlights the importance of distinguishing between sulfite oxidation and gypsum dissolution as a source of sulfate ions to rivers, particularly in mountain ranges.

    Abstract This paper aims at characterizing infiltration and solute transport processes in a karst system during flood events in order to build a conceptual model of hydrogeological functioning. The study site is the small karst system of Fertans in the French Jura. Soil cover, rock matrix, and a small spring were monitored to measure hydrological and hydrochemical parameters, and particularly a continuous dissolved organic carbon (DOC) signal, which is a relevant environmental tracer of fast infiltration. We used two combined approaches. First, from hydrodynamic and hydrochemical data, we identified the system structure (consistent with a dual porosity scheme) and characterized the main processes occurring during flood events. Second, on the basis of this scheme, we built a new conceptual hydrogeological model coupled with DOC transport to numerically validate the hydrological functioning. This modelling approach is based on a rainfall–discharge model to simulate spring flow. Solute transport is modelled using mixing equations, including an empirical retardation factor, as well as a first order solute decay. The model was calibrated and validated on a set of nineteen flood events, showing its performances in simulating spring hydrographs and delayed DOC signals during flood events with various rainfall intensities. We showed that the recharge area of the karst system varied largely with low and high groundwater periods, which was attributed to the state of hydraulic connectivity in the unsaturated zone. The soil cover appeared to play an important role of mixing and transfer for the recharge water. The model simulated the contributions of pre-event and event waters during flood events and allowed a better quantification of the available resource. It showed, in particular, that total discharge of some flood events during low water periods is mainly composed of pre-event water via piston flow-type processes. Finally, this study shows that the mixing model can simulate solute transport correctly, taking into account degradation and retardation processes. It highlights the need for a quantitative approach on hydrochemical studies of karst systems in order to understand them better.
