Les sections sanitaires automobiles féminines
ConfrontĂ© Ă la pĂ©nurie dâambulances et dâambulanciers au dĂ©but des annĂ©es 1940, le ministĂšre français de la Guerre a acceptĂ© lâoffre de la Croix-Rouge française de lui fournir des personnels sanitaires particuliers attachĂ©s au transport des blessĂ©s militaires sur le champ de bataille. La mise en application de ces « Instructions » a crĂ©e les sections sanitaires automobiles fĂ©minines (SSA) ; unitĂ©s officielles ayant un statut administratif, attachĂ© au 19e train. Pour prĂ©parer les trois premiĂšres sections avant leur action, une cĂ©rĂ©monie fut organisĂ©e le 24 avril 1940 dans la cour des Invalides, Ă la suite de laquelle le rĂŽle des sections fut planifiĂ©. Par la suite, les sections qui furent rattachĂ©es aux hĂŽpitaux dâĂ©vacuation secondaires (HOE-2), proches de la ligne du front du nord de la France, connurent leurs premiers combats, de jour comme de nuit, chargeant et dĂ©chargeant les blessĂ©s sous les bombardements ennemis continuels. Elles reçurent par consĂ©quent lâordre de se retirer, jusquâĂ ce que lâarmistice fut restaurĂ© fin juin. Bien que les sections sanitaires automobiles fĂ©minines furent dissoutes dĂšs le 12 septembre 1940, plusieurs femmes qui sâĂ©taient prĂ©cĂ©demment portĂ©es volontaires, poursuivirent dâautres actions contre lâAllemagne lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.The feminineâs automobiles of the Sanitary Sections. Facing with the shortages of both ambulances and drivers in the early 1940, the french Department of War agreed with the offer by the Croix-Rouge Française for supplying specific sanitary formations devoted to the transportation of military woundeds from the battlefield. The promulgation of the related « Instructions » had constituted the Sections sanitaires automobiles fĂ©minines (SSA) as formal units of women with administrative standing, attached to the 19 Train. As the preparation of the first 3 sections neared completion, an inaugural ceremony was organised on April 24, 1940 in the court of the Invalides, following which the sections were scheduled to go into action. Sections which were then attached to secundary evacuation hospitals (HOE-2) near the northern France frontline experienced soon later their first fightings, with day and night driving, loading and unloading of woundeds, often under sustained german bombing. They were subsequently ordered to retreat from place to place, until the armistice was established on late June. Another section moved on April 26, 1940 to the Middle East, where it has not taken part in any war action. Although the Sections sanitaires automobiles fĂ©minines were disbanded as early as on September 12, 1940, several of the women who had previously volunteered in subsequently engaged themselves in further actions against Germany during World War 2
Les étrangers du service de santé dans la campagne de France
Parmi les nombreux Ă©trangers Ă sâĂȘtre mis au service de la France Ă la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ceux affectĂ©s aux formations sanitaires occupent une place particuliĂšre. Souvent issus de milieux sociaux ou professionnels privilĂ©giĂ©s, instruits, ils se sont engagĂ©s avec des motivations rĂ©flĂ©chies qui donnent Ă leur perception de la campagne de mai-juin 1940 une dimension diffĂ©rente de celle quâont pu rapporter les combattants et les civils français. Leur regard sur les opĂ©rations militaires, auxquelles ils assistent, mĂȘme sâil est souvent marquĂ© dâune partialitĂ© francophile, bĂ©nĂ©ficie en effet de lâobjectivitĂ© quâa lâobservateur extĂ©rieur Ă©tranger. Aussi, le discernement dont ils font preuve dans lâanalyse de la dĂ©route française fait-il tout lâintĂ©rĂȘt des chroniques de la campagne que quelques-uns dâentre eux ont rĂ©digĂ© dans les annĂ©es qui ont suivi.Among the many foreigners who placed themselves in the service of France on the eve of World War II, those assigned to health facilities have a special place. Often from social circles or privileged, educated professionals, they committed themselves for thoughtful reasons that give their perception of the campaign of May-June 1940 a dimension different from that of French combatants and civilians. Their view of the military operations in which they participated, though often marked with a Francophile bias, benefit indeed from the objectivity of a foreign outsider. Also, the judgment they show in their analysis of the French defeat is of great interest in the campaign chronicles that some of them wrote in the years that followed
Cardiovascular Prevention of Cognitive Decline
Midlife cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes, hypertension, dyslipemia, and an unhealthy lifestyle, have been linked to subsequent incidence, delay of onset, and progression rate of Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia. Conversely, optimal treatment of cardiovascular risk factors prevents and slows down age-related cognitive disorders. The impact of antihypertensive therapy on cognitive outcome in patients with hypertension was assessed in large trials which demonstrated a reduction in progression of MRI white matter hyperintensities, in cognitive decline and in incidence of dementia. Large-scale database correlated statin use and reduction in the incidence of dementia, mainly in patients with documented atherosclerosis, but clinical trials failed to reach similar conclusions.
Whether a multitargeted intervention would substantially improve protection, quality of life, and reduce medical cost expenditures in patients with lower risk profile has not been ascertained. This would require appropriately designed trials targeting large populations and focusing on cognitive decline as a primary outcome endpoint

Authorship: From credit to accountability. Reflections from the EditorsÂŽ Network
The EditorsÂŽ Network of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) provides a dynamic forum for editorial discussions and endorses the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) to improve the scientific quality of biomedical journals. Authorship confers credit and important academic rewards. Recently, however, the ICMJE emphasised that authorship also requires responsibility and accountability. These issues are now covered by the new (fourth) criterion for authorship. Authors should agree to be accountable and ensure that questions regarding the accuracy and integrity of the entire work will be appropriately addressed. This review discusses the implications of this paradigm shift on authorship requirements with the aim of increasing awareness on good scientific and editorial practices
