Child overweight or obesity is increasing in most countries, including Vietnam. We sought to elucidate the drivers of child overweight or obesity in Vietnam and understand how they vary geographically. We compiled nationally representative cross-sectional data from the Vietnam Nutrition Surveillance Survey collected annually between 2012–2015 and h...
The ketogenic diet (KD), containing high levels of fat and low levels of carbohydrates, has been used to treat refractory epilepsy since the 1920s. In the past few decades, there has been more interest in less restrictive KDs such as the modified Atkins diet (MAD). PURPOSE: Our aim was to review all evidence regarding the efficacy and tolerability ...
Identification of the causes of poor oral vaccine immunogenicity in low-income countries might lead to more effective vaccines. We measured mucosal and systemic immune parameters at the time of vaccination with oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) in 292 Indian infants aged 6–11 months, including plasma cytokines, leukocyte counts, fecal biomarkers of env...

Due to concerns about cumulative radiation exposure in the pediatric population, it is not standard practice to perform spine radiographs in most conditions that predispose to vertebral fracture (VF). In this study we examined the accuracy of two clinical predictors, back pain and lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD), to derive four case-find...

Clinical data suggest that infections can trigger IgA vasculitis (IgAV), but longterm observations are lacking. We compared rates, types, and microorganisms for serious infection before and after diagnosis for children with IgAV and non-exposed controls. Using population-based administrative linked health datasets we estimated incidence rates (IR) ...
PURPOSE. While the association between the gut microbiome and the immune system has been studied in autoimmune disorders, little is known about ocular disease. Previously we reported that IRT5, a mixture of five probiotic strains, could suppress autoimmune dry eye. In this study, we investigated the mechanism by which IRT5 performs its immunomodula...

Physics-based simulations of walking have the theoretical potential to support clinical decision-making by predicting the functional outcome of treatments in terms of walking performance. Yet before using such simulations in clinical practice, their ability to identify the main treatment targets in specific patients needs to be demonstrated. In thi...
Cet article présente une description multidimensionnelle de la pauvreté des enfants en France, au moment de leur naissance et au cours de leur première année de vie. Plus précisément, il s’appuie sur deux principales mesures de pauvreté : la pauvreté monétaire et la pauvreté en conditions de vie (et de logement). L’approche généralement utilisée po...
In this paper we present a picture of poverty and multi-dimensional deprivation of children in France, around the time of their birth and during their first year of life, using an income poverty measure combined with a multiple deprivation approach. To do so, we adapt an approach used for adults to apply it to young children; this adaptation allows...
