Maladie virale à l’origine d’épidémies importantes, principalement en Afrique, la fièvre de la Vallée du Rift (FVR) se transmet du bétail à l’humain. Classée maladie prioritaire émergente par le programme R&D Blueprint de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) en 2015, sa dynamique de transmission avait pourtant jusqu’ici été peu étudiée. Des chercheurs et professionnels de la santé publique de l’Inserm, de Santé publique France et du Cirad avec...
Consuming food products that rank lower on the nutritional quality score underlying the Nutri-Score logo is associated with higher mortality, according to the European cohort EPIC. These findings, obtained by researchers from Inserm, Inrae, Cnam and Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, in collaboration with researchers from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (WHO/IARC), confirm the relevance of Nutri-Score in the context of public health policy.
Les résultats d'une méta-analyse montrent qu’un traitement par corticoïdes diminuerait de 21% le risque de mortalité des formes sévères de Covid-19.
Inserm, with the support of the REACTing network, Public Health France, the country’s university hospitals, and the French College of Teachers in General Practice, is launching COVIREIVAC. This platform for the clinical evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine candidates will make it possible to test them rigorously and obtain robust data on their safety and ability to induce an immune response (immunogenicity).
In France, the strategy for preventing iron deficiency in young children is partly based on the recommendation to use iron-fortified infant formula – including growing-up milk – when breastfeeding is discontinued.

Des investigateurs français de l’Institut médico-légal de Paris, de l'Inserm, du service de radiologie de l’hôpital Sainte-Anne/GHU Paris, du département d’anesthésie-réanimation des hôpitaux de l’AP-HP Saint-Louis et Lariboisière, d’Université de Paris, et du CNRS ont fait l’hypothèse que les arrêts cardiaques en dehors de l'hôpital pendant le pic de la pandémie de Covid-19 pourraient être en partie dus à des embolies pulmonaires massives. Le détail de ces travaux a...
