Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains a major concern in sports cardiology because it is among the leading causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young competitive athletes. In a large US registry of 1,866 athlete deaths, HCM accounted for nearly 40% of cases, most occurring in adolescents still in high...

Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are the most common congenital anomalies, affecting about 1% of newborns. Thanks to advances in surgery and improvements in neonatal intensive care, survival among children with CHD has markedly improved, including for the most complex forms. This medical success has, however, brought to light a...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) rank among the most severe and least understood neurodegenerative diseases. FTD preferentially affects the frontal and temporal lobes, causing major changes in behavior, personality, and language. ALS is characterized by progressive degenerati...

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital anomalies, affecting approximately 1% of all births. Thanks to significant advances in surgery and medical care, survival rates have greatly improved, transforming what was once a lethal condition into a chronic one.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by excessive and hypersynchronized electrical discharges of cerebral neurons, leading to recurrent seizures. It affects approximately 650,000 people in France and several million worldwide, and manifests through highly variable clinical episodes ranging from brief...

Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) refers to inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system triggered by autoantibodies targeting neuronal antigens. These conditions cause a broad spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms, with acute epileptic seizures often being one of the earliest and most prominent manifestations. In some p...

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, leading to seizures that are often sudden and disabling. While the majority of patients respond to antiseizure medications, approximately 30% develop drug‑resistant epilepsy, defined by the failure of at least two appropr...

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common form of anemia in children, resulting from a lack of iron, a key element in erythropoiesis and neurological development. Among school-aged children (5–12 years), this deficiency is linked to reduced cognitive performance, weakened immunity, and poorer academic outcomes, with p...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central to cellular signaling. They regulate key physiological functions—cardiovascular, neurological, immune—and account for nearly one-third of all current drug targets. Traditionally, GPCRs were thought to function exclusively at the plasma membrane, where they initiate rapid and t...

This increased fragility exposes patients — particularly postmenopausal women — to a high risk of fractures, often occurring without prior symptoms. According to the...
