En France, pour bénéficier d'une prise en charge médicosociale et éducative adaptée, les enfants ayant un trouble du spectre de l'autisme doivent obtenir une orientation par la maison départementale des personnes handicapées (MDPH) et que ces notifications soient appliquées. En Guyane, les inégalités sociales et territoriales de santé sont omniprésentes. Il n'existe pourtant aucune donnée sur la prise en charge des adolescents avec un trouble du spectre de l'autisme en Guyane. L'objectif du projet était de connaître le parcours scolaire et médicosocial des enfants inclus dans le registre des troubles du spectre de l'autisme de Guyane depuis 2016 (qui vivaient en Guyane en 2016 et dont leur TSA avait été diagnostiqué avant leurs 8 ans) au moyen d'une interview téléphonique et d'un recueil de données à la MDPH. Nous avons inclus 52 jeunes âgés de 11 à 18 ans dont 40 familles jointes par téléphone. Les résultats obtenus à travers les variables recueillies montrent que, malgré un diagnostic posé avant 8 ans, seulement 29 jeunes (sur 47 renseignés) bénéficient d'une prise en charge médicosociale et éducative coïncidente avec les préconisations de la Commission des droits et de l'autonomie des personnes handicapées en cours (CDAPH). Parmi les 52 jeunes suivis, il y en avait au moins 9 – soit 17,3 % – qui ne recevaient aucune forme d'éducation. Trente et un jeunes bénéficiaient d'une prise en charge médicosociale, sanitaire et/ou éducative au moment de l'enquête contre 16 qui n'en recevaient aucune, notamment parce qu'ils étaient sur liste d'attente, depuis 5 ans en moyenne. Par ailleurs, 34 % des familles interrogées disaient ne pas être satisfaites de la prise en charge globale promulguée à leur enfant, surtout du fait du manque de personnel. En conclusion, il existe en Guyane un décalage important et mal vécu entre ce qui est recommandé aux parents pour la prise en charge de leur enfant adolescent et ce qui est en réalité possible. In France, to benefit from appropriate medical, social and educational care, children with autism spectrum disorders must obtain a referral from the Maison Départementale des Personnes Handicapées (MDPH), and these notifications must then be implemented. In French Guiana, social and territorial inequalities in health are omnipresent. However, there are no data on the care of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder in French Guiana. The aim of the project was to explore the educational and medico-social pathways of children included in Guiana's autism spectrum disorder register since 2016 (who were living in Guiana in 2016 and whose ASD had been diagnosed before their 8th birthday) by means of a telephone interview and data collection at the MDPH. We included 52 young people aged 11 to 18, including 40 families contacted by telephone. The results obtained through the variables collected show that, despite a diagnosis made before the age of 8, only 29 young people (out of 47 completed) benefit from medical, social and educational care that coincides with the recommendations of the current Commission des droits et de l'autonomie des personnes handicapées (CDAPH). Of the 52 young people monitored, at least nine – or 17.3% – were not receiving any form of education. Thirty one young people were receiving medical, social, health and/or educational care at the time of the survey, compared with 16 who were not receiving any, mainly because they had been on a waiting list for an average of five years. In addition, 34% said they were not satisfied with the overall care their child received, mainly because of staff shortages. In conclusion, in French Guiana, there is a significant gap between what is recommended to parents for their teenage child's care and what is actually possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many shorebirds rely on sandy beaches to breed. However, these ecosystems are rare and unstable on the Guianas coast because of sediment dynamics. Nonetheless, they host 2 shorebirds that breed in the Nearctic and the Neotropic: Wilson's Plover (Charadrius wilsonia) and Black-necked Stilt (Himantopus mexicanus). We studied their breeding biology in the Amana Nature Reserve, a Ramsar Site in French Guiana, on sandy beaches bordered by brackish lagoons during 1 breeding season. From early June to late August 2008, we located and monitored 19 Wilson's Plover and 15 Black-necked Stilt nests. Most nests were associated with bare ground. While stilts preferred to build their nests with twigs closer to lagoons, plovers did not show any preference in nest location and composition. For plovers and stilts, clutch sizes were 2–3 eggs or 3–4 eggs per nest, respectively, and the mean egg volumes were 12.1 ± 0.4 cm3and 20.6 ± 0.6 cm3, respectively. The apparent hatching success for both species was low, 11% for Wilson's Plover and 13% for Black-necked Stilt, whereas daily nest survival was high for both species. Clutch sizes, egg dimensions, and egg colorations were comparable to those described elsewhere, but the breeding season started later than at other localities for the Wilson's Plover. In French Guiana, the apparent nest success values for both species were much lower than those reported in the United States and the West Indies but seemed slightly higher than in Brazil. Human activity impacts were limited in our study area and did not explain the low nest success values found. Beach flooding at high tide was the main cause of clutch failure, followed by predation. Ironically, flooding allows the maintenance of this low, open, and debris-covered habitat used by beach-nesting shorebirds. Beaucoup de limicoles dépendent des plages sableuses pour se reproduire. En raison de la dynamique sédimentaire, ces plages sont rares et instables sur la côte des Guyanes. Néanmoins, elles abritent deux espèces de limicoles nichant dans le néarctique et le néotropique: le Pluvier de Wilson (Charadrius wilsonia) et l'Echasse d'Amérique (Himantopus mexicanus). Nous avons étudié la biologie de leur reproduction dans la réserve naturelle de l'Amana, un site Ramsar en Guyane Française, sur des plages sableuses bordées de lagunes saumâtres pendant une saison de reproduction. De début juin à fin août 2008, nous avons localisé et suivi 19 nids de Pluvier de Wilson et 15 nids d'Echasse d'Amérique. La plupart des nids étaient associés à des sols nus. Le pluvier de Wilson n'a montré aucune préférence quant à l'emplacement et à la composition des nids. Tandis que l'Echasse d'Amérique préférait construire son nid avec des brindilles plus près des lagunes. La taille des couvées était respectivement de 2–3 œufs et de 3–4 œufs par nid, et le volume moyen des œufs était de 12.1 ± 0.4 cm3 et 20.6 ± 0.6 cm3. Le succès apparent d'éclosion était faible pour les 2 espèces, avec 11% pour le pluvier et 13% pour l'échasse, alors que la survie journalière des nids était haute. La taille des pontes, la dimension et la coloration des œufs étaient comparables à celles décrites ailleurs, mais la période de reproduction était plus tardive chez le Pluvier de Wilson. En Guyane française, les succès apparents des nids des deux espèces étaient beaucoup plus faibles que ceux observés aux États-Unis et aux Antilles, mais ils semblaient légèrement plus élevés qu'au Brésil. Les activités humaines étaient limitées sur le site d'étude et n'ont pas expliqué ce faible succès. La submersion des plages lors des grandes marées était la principale cause de l'échec des pontes, suivie par la prédation. Mais ces submersions ont paradoxalement participées au maintien de cet habitat bas, ouvert et couvert de débris utilisé par les limicoles nichant sur les plages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The aim was to analyze the implementation of the Onco-Geriatrics model in a remote ultramarine territory: West-French Guiana. The population is socially precarious in terms of income, social coverage and administrative status, and most often speaks a non-French language and has a non-Western culture., Methods: Narrative description of the implementation and retrospective study of anonymized data from the database of older patients managed for cancer between September 2014 and December 2020., Results: A total of 574 new patients were managed. Of these, 107 were aged 70 and over; 78 (73 %) had a G8 test. Forty-two patients had a multidimensional geriatric assessment (MGA). More than half the patients had dependency criteria, malnutrition and a high number of severe comorbidities. Difficulties encountered were language, level of education, clinical context (in 18 patients), but also insufficient involvement of health professional and the consequences of health organization and gradual implementation., Discussion: Implementation was impacted by the fact that quality criteria for implementation were not sufficient. Studies in high-middle-income countries in South America suggest that initial implementation of the MGA may be preferable, that frailty screening tests and the MGA procedure can be adapted to non-Western populations, and that the use of new technologies can improve the management of older patients in this context., (Copyright © 2024 Société Française du Cancer.

French Guiana is an equatorial, multicultural, overseas territory in South America. The region is unique: a wealthy country with a universal healthcare system, but significant poverty, which bears little resemblance to its neighbors Brazil and Suriname. Cancer is the second leading cause of death. The incidence of cancer is lower than in France, stages are generally more advanced and the prognosis worse. To date, oncology has been organized through a joint venture between local institutions and healthcare professionals and a cancer center in mainland France, in line with the recommendations of the Institut National du Cancer. The implementation of a medical project and a complete medical studies curriculum in French Guiana is a tremendous opportunity for the development of oncology. The main challenges are consolidating medical care for patients, quality control, genetic oncology, molecular biology, implementation of radiotherapy and nuclear medicine, clinical and translational research, and teaching programs. Working in oncology in French Guiana is exciting because of the scientific interest (particular characteristics of cancers, notably the role of viral or micro-organism-induced carcinogenesis, genetic factors in these populations with African and Asian roots, and the importance of a public health policy) and human interest (patients from different cultures; all of them bring original approaches to health and illness that need to be deciphered in order to offer quality care). This requires the support of healthcare professionals who are enthusiastic about this unique adventure., (Copyright © 2024 Société Française du Cancer. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

French Guiana is an overseas territory of France with marked specificities in terms of populations, socioeconomic factors, risk factors, and an access to care. In this context, the objective of the present study was to describe the epidemiology of acute coronary syndromes in French Guiana and to make comparisons with mainland France and neighbouring country. The data were obtained from a retrospective descriptive hospital-based cohort conceived to describe the incidence of acute coronary syndromes and their epidemiologic and clinical characteristics. It included patients aged 18 or more hospitalised for a first coronary syndrome in the reference centre for coronary syndromes in Cayenne French Guiana between Jan 1st 2012 and Dec 31st 2014. Overall, 266 patients were analysed. The mean age was 64 years (SD = 12.54). A majority of patients were men (sex ratio = 1.83). The proportion of patients born in an overseas French territory (44.36%) was similar to that of those born in a foreign country (43.98%), and 11.65% were born in mainland France. Only 59% of patients had regular health insurance. Moreover, 33.21% had universal medical insurance (CMU for those below a minimal income), 4.91% had state insurance (for illegal foreign patients) and 2.64% had no insurance at all. The main risk factors were high blood pressure (73.68%), diabetes (39.85%), hypercholesterolemia (40.23%), and smoking (37.97%). Overall, 82/266 patients developed an ST elevation coronary syndrome (STEMI) and 184/266 had a non-ST elevation coronary syndrome NSTEMI or unstable angina pectoris. Thrombolysis was only performed in 20.73% of patients with STEMI. Mortality at 1 month was 8/82 (9.76%) for STEMI and 2/184 (1.09%) for NSTEMI. The epidemiologic profile of acute coronary syndromes in French Guiana is different from that of mainland France and Europe to the neighbouring country Brazil. Mortality of STEMI also seems higher than in mainland France, but similar to Brazil. In a context of frequent health inequalities, interventions targeting the major risk factors, notably high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes, have the potential to significantly impact cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

French Guiana, the only overseas region of Europe located in South America, is faced with the claims of identity politics, particularly those of indigenous peoples, who propose alternative place names. This critical analysis of the process of a posteriori recognition of toponyms is based on deconstruction of local, national, and international toponymic databases circulating on the geoweb, supported by interviews with the advocates of these corpora. We propose a critical analysis of toponymic data flows, examining how these data transit through the Web and disappear into the limbo of the Internet or gradually become definitive. This highlights the complexity of the current digital geographic information landscape: national institutes defend a form of data sovereignty for their territory, but they are caught between the digital empowerment of local communities now able to produce counter-cartographies and planetwide cartographic deregulation emanating from the Web giants.

The current political map of the world still shows many territories that did not free themselves during the decolonisation and thus continue to be connected to their metropoles, often thousands of kilometres away. This study discusses one such example, three overseas territories of the French Republic, namely French Guiana, Mayotte and New Caledonia. These were chosen considering their different geographic location and similar size of population. The study aims to analyse the intensity of relation of these territories to Paris and to compare their status in a comprehensive way. To fulfil this goal the study focuses on 25 relevant criteria divided into eight thematic areas (geographic-demographic, historical, constitutional, economic, political, ethno-religious, strategic, symbolic). Following detailed analysis of the data collected in each criterion, the study—using comparative method—attempts to classify the territories locating them on a scale according to the intensity of their connection with the metropole and the likelihood of becoming independent. El mapa político actual del mundo todavía muestra muchos territorios que no se liberaron durante la descolonización y, por lo tanto, continúan conectados a sus metrópolis, a menudo a miles de kilómetros de distancia. Este estudio analiza uno de esos ejemplos, tres territorios de ultramar de la República Francesa, a saber, la Guayana Francesa, Mayotte y Nueva Caledonia. Estos fueron elegidos teniendo en cuenta su diferente ubicación geográfica y el tamaño similar de la población. El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la intensidad de la relación de estos territorios con París y comparar su estado de manera integral. Para cumplir este objetivo, el estudio se centra en 25 criterios relevantes divididos en 8 áreas temáticas (geográfico-demográficas, históricas, constitucionales, económicas, políticas, etno-religiosas, estratégicas, simbólicas). Tras un análisis detallado de los datos recopilados en cada criterio, el estudio, utilizando un método comparativo, intenta clasificar [End Page 3] los territorios que los ubican en una escala de acuerdo con la intensidad de su conexión con la metrópoli y la probabilidad de independizarse. La carte politique actuelle du monde montre encore de nombreux territoires qui n'ont pas été libérés lors de la décolonisation et restent donc connectés à leurs métropoles, souvent à des milliers de kilomètres. Cette étude analyse un tel exemple, trois territoires d'outre-mer de la République française, à savoir la Guyane française, Mayotte et la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Ceux-ci ont été choisis en tenant compte de leur situation géographique différente et de la taille similaire de la population. L'objectif de l'étude est d'analyser l'intensité de la relation de ces territoires avec Paris et de comparer globalement leur état. Pour atteindre cet objectif, l'étude se concentre sur 25 critères pertinents répartis en huit domaines thématiques (géographique-démographique, historique, constitutionnel, économique, politique, ethno-religieux, stratégique, symbolique). Après une analyse détaillée des données collectées dans chaque critère, l'étude, à l'aide d'une méthode comparative, tente de classer les territoires qui les localisent sur une échelle en fonction de l'intensité de leur lien avec la métropole et de la probabilité de devenir indépendant.

Résumé: Une cicatrice atypique chez un Brésilien : lobomycose, une observation en Guyane française. La lobomycose est une infection fongique rare de la peau, endémique au bassin amazonien. D'évolution lente, elle se manifeste par des nodules cutanés semblables à des chéloïdes et est responsable d'une réaction granulomateuse histologique. L'agent causal, Lacazia loboi , n'a jamais été isolé du milieu extérieur et n'a jamais pu être cultivé. Le diagnostic est possible par son aspect unique en microscopie. La prise en charge thérapeutique est souvent décevante, avec un fort taux de rechute. Nous rapportons un nouveau cas en Guyane française et réalisons une revue de la littérature. Seuls 10 cas hors zone d'endémie ont été publiés, dont 2 n'ayant jamais voyagé, avec un délai diagnostic moyen de 21 ans. La phylogénétique a prouvé récemment que la lobomycose du dauphin n'est pas due à L. loboi mais à un agent fongique proche de Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Le diagnostic par biologie moléculaire est possible dans certains centres. Du fait des modifications climatiques, la lobomycose pourrait atteindre des régions du monde jusque-là indemnes. Case report from French Guiana of an atypical keloid in a Brazilian man: Lobomycosis. Lobomycosis is a rare fungal skin infection, endemic to the Amazon basin. Its clinical manifestations are slow-growing keloid-like nodules, with a granulomatous reaction on histopathology. The etiological agent, Lacazia loboi , has never been isolated in the environment or cultured in a laboratory. Diagnosis is based on the typical appearance on microscopy. Treatment is disappointing, with a high recurrence rate. We report a new case in French Guiana and review the literature. Only 10 cases have been reported outside of the endemic area, 2 involving no travel; the mean time to diagnosis was 21 years. Phylogenetic analysis has recently proved that lobomycosis in dolphins is caused by a fungus more closely related to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis than to L. loboi (two very closely related species). Molecular diagnosis is possible in a few centers. Climate change may result in spreading lobomycosis to currently disease-free areas of the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• No study has assessed the clinical and biological features of chikungunya virus epidemics in French Guiana. • We performed the first study suggesting the use of a clinical score to differentiate dengue virus infection (DENV) from chikungunya (CHIKV) infection. • This is a topical theme as DENV and CHIKV epidemics recently occurred in India and Brazil. External validation of this score will thus be possible. • The study sample was relatively large (162 CHIKV patients versus 452 DENV patients). Only two other studies have compared CHIKV and DENV: a study conducted in Singapore included 117 CHIKV patients and 862 DENV patients, and a study conducted in Gabon included 270 CHIKV patients and 53 DENV patients. It should be noted that both of these studies reached contradictory conclusions. Chikungunya (CHIKV) and dengue viruses (DENV) are two arboviruses with epidemic potential and similar clinical presentations. The potential life-threatening risk associated with DENV justifies an immediate biological assessment and medical follow-up which may be delayed for CHIKV. To compare the clinical variables that would help differentiate patients infected with CHIKV or DENV, and then to compute a predictive score. Retrospective case-control study comparing CHIKV-infected patients diagnosed by RT-PCR in 2014 with patients infected with DENV diagnosed by positive NS1 antigen test in 2013. Children aged < 15 years and pregnant women were excluded. Clinical and biological variables were compared, and a multivariate analysis was performed. A clinical score was developed using the β coefficients to differentiate the infections. Over the study period 168 patients infected with CHIKV were compared with 452 patients with DENV. The clinical variables independently associated with CHIKV was joint and back pain, and those associated with DENV were headache, muscle pain, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and hemorrhagic signs. The clinical score had 98% sensitivity for DENV and a ROC curve of 0.96. These two infections have a similar clinical presentation but the use of the proposed clinical score during the acute phase of the disease would make it possible to identify cases of DENV during a CHIKV epidemic to suggest adequate patient management.

Background: French Guiana is a French overseas territory which combines a well-funded universal health system and a population where half are under the poverty line. In this context, we aimed to measure and describe the causes of infant mortality and, because French Guiana is a French territory, to compare them with mainland France., Methods: National death certificate data between 2001 and 2017 was used., Results: Overall, 6.9 % of deaths before 65 years concerned infants <1 year (in mainland France 2.6%). The infant mortality rate over the 2001-2017 period was 2.6 times that of mainland France (1159.5 vs 446.2 per 100,000 infants <1 year) with excess incidence in perinatal causes, malformations and chromosomal anomalies, accidents, infectious causes, and in poorly defined conditions. Over time, there seemed to be a reduction of infant mortality for all the main causes, except for congenital malformations and chromosomal anomalies, which, on the contrary, seemed to increase. The data sources did not allow to study the weight of social factors or place of residence., Conclusions: All causes of infant mortality seemed to decline over time except malformations and chromosomal anomalies, which increased. Although exposure to heavy metals, infectious diseases are potential explanations we cannot pinpoint the cause of this increase with the available data. The present results suggest infant mortality and malformations should benefit from more detailed data sources in order to better assess and alleviate the burden of infant mortality in French Guiana., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare no competing interests., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Highlights • Studies on urinary tract infections are scarce in the Amazon region. • Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) were observed in 3.1% of Escherichia coli and 31.6% of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from UTI patients managed in the emergency department. • The susceptibility of E. coli strains to ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, fluoroquinolones, and furans was significantly lower than in metropolitan France. • Staphylococci sp. were involved in 18.3% of cystitis cases including 12.2% of Staphylococcus saprophyticus and 3.7% of S. aureus. Abstract Objectives Urinary tract infections (UTIs) have rarely been studied in the Amazon region. We aimed to describe the epidemiology of bacteria causing UTIs in French Guiana. Patients and methods We performed a monocenter retrospective study of adults consulting at the emergency department of Cayenne Hospital in 2014 with a diagnosis of UTI. The bacterial species and resistance profile were described. Results Two-hundred-and-eighty-nine patients presenting with UTI were included: 82 (28.4%) presented with cystitis, 166 (57.4%) with pyelonephritis, and 41 (14.2%) with male UTI. E. coli was predominant (74.1%), and had decreased susceptibility to ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, fluoroquinolones, co-trimoxazole, and furans compared with data from metropolitan France. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) was isolated in 3.1% of E. coli and 31.6% of K. pneumoniae. Conclusions Antibiotic susceptibility in UTI is lower than reported in metropolitan France without evidence for an excessive consumption of antibiotics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Remote sensing is a particularly suitable tool for monitoring land use but also particularly suited for déforestation monito-ring. By launching the Setinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites in the Copernicus program, the community now has free data with important time-revisits allowing the greatest number of people to effectively monitor land cover of a study area. This paper présents a land use monitoring method based on the combination of two approaches computed using Open Source tools (QGIS, Orfeo ToolBox, python). First, we focus on land use monitoring at an annual time scale using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data, and then, by the use f entienl-1 data, we detect changes in the forest cover due to déforestation at bi-monthly time scale. The results obtained show a very good synergy of thèse approaches allowing the complementary of optical and radar data. In order to make accessible the proposed method, ail the used open source tools are available on this link http ://remotesensing4all.net/index.php/2018/09/11/kit-use-des-donnees-radar-sentinel-1-in-de-latelier-radar-du-FOSS4G-en-2018-2/.

In Neotropical rainforest canopies, phytotelmata (“plant-held waters”) shelter diverse aquatic macroinvertebrate communities, including vectors of animal diseases. Studying these communities is difficult because phytotelmata are widely dispersed, hard to find from the ground and often inaccessible. We propose here a method for placing in tree crowns “artificial phytotelmata” whose size and shape can be tailored to different research targets. The efficacy of this method was shown while comparing the patterns of community diversity of three forest formations. We noted a difference between a riparian forest and a rainforest, whereas trees alongside a dirt road cutting through that rainforest corresponded to a subset of the latter. Because rarefied species richness was significantly lower when the phytotelmata were left for three weeks rather than for six or nine weeks, we recommend leaving the phytotelmata for twelve weeks to permit predators and phoretic species to fully establish themselves.

A new remarkable species belonging to the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Buthidae) is described from the Mitaraka Massif in French Guiana, a site located near the borders of French Guiana, Brazil, and Suriname. The description of this new species brings further evidence about the biogeographic patterns of distribution presented by most species of the genus Ananteris , which are highly endemic in most biogeographic realms of South America, including the Tepuys and Inselberg Massifs.
