A joint team of researchers from Inserm and the University of Paris has investigated the frequency of physical abuse during pregnancy, its consequences for the mother and child, and the characteristics associated with this violence.
Despite the increasing research into and recognition of the role of particulate matter in the excess mortality caused by air pollution, it is still poorly understood. A research team used an innovative method based on the biomonitoring of metal levels in mosses in rural France. Their findings point to a link between long-term exposure to atmospheric metals and excess mortality, even in areas remote from major sources of emissions.
To produce a significant reduction in mortality due to fine particulates, their average level should be reduced by at least 3 micrograms per m3 as a yearly average, concludes an interdisciplinary study.
A team of researchers revealed the existence of a greater creativity in patients with narcolepsy. The results of the study suggest a link between a particular phase of sleep, REM sleep, and creative abilities.
Des chercheurs rapportent un risque accru de maladies cardiovasculaires chez les consommateurs d’aliments ultra-transformés dans la cohorte NutriNet-Santé.
Constances aims to track the long-term health of its volunteers in order to deepen our understanding of the factors that influence it, such as diet, environment or working conditions.
A novel IT tool based on artificial intelligence methods has made it possible to identify the toxic effects of bisphenol S – a frequent substitute for bisphenol A in food containers.
Une équipe de chercheurs est parvenue à estimer le nombre de nouveaux cas et le coût économique direct que représentent les infections à bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques chez les malades hospitalisés, pendant les années 2015 et 2016.
Cesarean delivery is thought to be linked to a greater risk of severe maternal complications – primarily hemorrhagic - than vaginal delivery, especially in women aged 35 and over.
Knowledge of the genetic component of Alzheimer's disease continues to deepen. The aim is not to predict the disease but reveal its pathophysiological mechanisms in order to develop new drugs. At Lille’s Institut Pasteur, an Inserm team led by Jean Charles Lambert within Inserm Unit 1167 "Risk factors and molecular determinants of diseases linked to aging" directed by Philippe Amouyel recently hit a new milestone thanks to the Genomics...
