‘ We are at war ’, French President Emmanuel Macron said in an address to the nation on 16 March 2020. As part of this national effort, Military Medical Service (FMMS) is committed fight against COVID-19. This original report aimed describe and detail actions that FMMS has carried out nationwide COVID-19 pandemic France, as well overseas. Experts field reported major conducted by during France. In just few weeks, developed ad hoc medical capabilities support health authorities. It...
Summary To investigate if the characteristics of human intestinal Escherichia coli are changing with environment host, we studied E. from subjects having recently migrated a temperate to tropical area. We determined phylogenetic group, prevalence antibiotic resistance, presence integrons and strain diversity in faecal isolates 25 originally metropolitan France expatriated French Guyana. These were compared those previously Wayampi Amerindian natives Guyana residents. The three groups matched...
Malaria chemoprophylaxis compliance is suboptimal among French soldiers despite the availability of free malaria and repeated health education before, during after deployment to endemic areas. In 2007, a randomized controlled study was performed cohort returning from Côte d'Ivoire assess feasibility acceptability sending daily short message service (SMS) reminder via mobile device remind take their chemoprophylaxis, impact SMS on compliance. consisted dose 100 mg doxycycline monohydrate,...
On 26 November 2010, an outbreak of scombroid fish poisoning occurred in the French Armed Forces Dakar, Senegal. This chemical intoxication, due to high histamine concentration fish, is often mistaken for allergic reaction. A case-control study was undertaken including 71 cases and 78 randomly selected controls among lunch attendees. The usual symptoms were observed cases, i.e. flushing (85.9%), headache (83.1%), rapid/weak pulse (59.1%) diarrhoea (47.9%). Symptoms from within a few minutes...
The roles of potassium channels from the Shaker family in stomatal movements have been investigated by reverse genetics analyses Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), but corresponding information is lacking outside this model species. Rice (Oryza sativa) and other cereals possess stomata that are more complex than those Arabidopsis. We examined role outward K+ channel gene OsK5.2. Expression OsK5.2 (GUS reporter strategy) was observed whole (guard cells subsidiary cells), root vasculature,...
Context: Despite existing preventive measures, the number of acute acoustic trauma (AAT) cases reported to French Military Epidemiological Surveillance System (MESS) remains high. Aims: The objective this study was describe AAT and measures already implemented. Subjects Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional analysis using data from MESS for period 2007–2014. In addition, we reviewed current prevention that exist in armed forces. Statistical Analysis Used: Comparisons between...
Neonatal infection constitutes one of Senegal's most important public health problems, with a mortality rate 41 deaths per 1,000 live births. Between January 2007 and March 2008, 242 neonates suspected were recruited at three neonatal intensive care units in major tertiary centers Dakar, the capital Senegal. infections confirmed by positive bacterial blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture. The microbiological pattern antibiotic susceptibility isolates characterized. In addition, genetic basis...
Abstract Background In 2006, the Senegalese National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) has recommended artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria and, in 2007, mandated testing all suspected cases of with a Plasmodium falciparum HRP-2-based rapid diagnostic test (RDT(Paracheck ® ). Given higher cost ACT compared to earlier anti-malarials, objectives present study were i) accuracy Paracheck thick blood smear (TBS) two areas different levels...
Abstract Background The effectiveness of anti-vectorial malaria protective measures in travellers and expatriates is hampered by incorrect compliance. objective the present study was to identify determinants compliance with (AVPMs) this population that particularly at risk because their lack immunity. Methods Compliance wearing long clothing, sleeping under insecticide-impregnated bed nets (IIBNs) using insect repellent estimated analysed questionnaires administered 2,205 French military...
The aim of the current study is to describe consumption rate alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis in French Army. A cross-sectional two strata randomized survey was performed between October 2006 March 2007 using self-report questionnaires (n = 990) collect individual characteristics, consumption, addictive behaviors with urinal tests for 985). surveyed sample comprised 59% privates, 26% non-commissioned officers, 6% predominantly male (89%) young (median age: 29 years), had a low level education...
This study assesses, for the first time, incidence, etiology, and determinants associated with traveler's diarrhea (TD) among French forces deployed to N'Djamena, Chad.A prospective was conducted based on physician consultation during a 5-month mandate. Diarrhea defined as ≥3 loose stools in 24-hour period or ≥2 within last 8 hours. For each diarrheic episode, an anonymous physician-administered questionnaire completed stool sample collected. Samples were tested parasites, bacteria, enteric...
Malaria is a public health concern in the French armed forces, with 400–800 cases reported every year and three deaths past 2 years. However, lack of chemoprophylaxis (CP) compliance often among service members. The aim this study was to explore factors associated CP compliance. A retrospective (1296 members) carried out troops deployed Central African Republic. Determinants were collected by self-questionnaire. Socio-demographic variables, behavioural characteristics, belief operational...
Incidence of malaria is increasing in travelers and soldiers. In 2006, a survey was performed French battalion returning from malaria‐endemic area. According to the chemoprophylaxis plasma concentration individuals’ reports, noncompliance rates were high, respectively, 63.4 54.7%.
