The worldwide spread of E. coli ST131 has significantly contributed to the dissemination of E. coli producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). In a French University hospital, we assessed the molecular features of ESBL-producing E. coli and identified risk factors in patients for colonization or infection with E. coli ST131. Over a 2-year per...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a common and severe X-linked myopathy, characterized by muscle degeneration due to altered or absent dystrophin. DMD has no effective cure, and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the metabolic changes in DMD using mass spectrometry-based im...

Many pregnant women, in the world, drink caffeine-containing beverages. Maternal caffeine consumption during pregnancy may have adverse effects on foetus but results are conflicting. Our goals were to estimate the prevalence of caffeine use in a cohort of French pregnant women using maternal self-reports and to evaluate the association between caff...

The consequences of non-adherence to prescribed cardiovascular drugs can be serious, with cardiovascular complications having been reported in both secondary and primary prevention. The objective of this study was to develop a new scale to assess medication adherence in patients with cardiovascular diseases during their hospitalization. A cohort of...

In high-income countries, breastfeeding has been shown to be positively associated with socioeconomic position. However, less is known about breastfeeding practices and their associated factors among extremely disadvantaged populations. We aimed to assess the associations of cultural origins and socioeconomic factors with any breastfeeding initiati...

A strong association between on-thienopyridine platelet reactivity (PR) and the risk of both thrombotic and bleeding events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been demonstrated. However, no study has analyzed the relationship between on-ticagrelor PR and clinical outcome in this clinica...
