Ebola survivors retain serious sequelae Months after their recovery, Ebola survivors often suffer from visual disturbances up to blindness, hearing problems and joint pain, according to a study that assesses for the first time the seriousness of the legacy of the virus
This is the first time that doctors studying the extent of sequelae Ebola patients based on clinical examination, say the authors of the study published today in the specialized medical journal, The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
The research was conducted using data collected from patients in clinical Ebola survivors in Port Loko in Sierra Leone, one of the West African countries hardest hit by the epidemic.
The scientific data on the effects of Ebola were previously limited because during previous epidemics, there were few survivors. The research was also focused exclusively on the fight against the virus and the development of a vaccine. Since last year, WHO found, however, complications in many survivors, evoking a "post-Ebola Syndrome".
A total of 277 survivors (57% women) were examined for this study between March 7 and April 24, four months on average after their recovery. 76% of them suffered from arthritis, 60% of vision problems, 18% of inflammation in the eye (potentially sight-threatening) and 24% of hearing disorders such as tinnitus.
"These figures are higher than what we expected," he told AFP one of the authors of the study, Sharmistha Mishra of the University of Toronto.
However, researchers admit that "there are important limitations to this study," since they did not have a basis for comparison with a group not infected with Ebola patients. They have not been able to measure accurately hearing disorders in the absence of necessary equipment.
Another problem: "At this stage we do not know" the duration of these effects, they acknowledged. But they suggest a study in Uganda two and half years after the epidemic of 2007, which reported persistent symptoms for more than two years.
Symptoms that require care specialists
If the Ebola virus is rapidly disappearing from most bodily fluids after healing, may remain "websites sanctuaries" in the eyes or testicles, also argue the researchers, including Dr. John Mattia, one of the few ophthalmologists Sierra Leone.
In the study researchers also suggest a possible correlation between the amount of virus in patients and extent of complications after recovery. In other words, the virus would be more virulent plus sequelae, in particular eye, would be important.
"These studies highlight the need for early monitoring of Ebola survivors and urgency to include eye care in the West African country health systems." Because "these symptoms can be very severe and disabling," told AFP the Dr. John and Dr. Matthew Mattia Vandy.
In these countries' access to even basic health care is difficult, and specialists such as ophthalmologists are rare. "
In June, Liberia, he announced the launch of a major study over a period of five years, based on thousands of volunteers to identify long-term effects of the virus.
Homemade braces: "They can cause tooth loss," warns an orthodontist
The titles of tutorials are dreaming: "Get a free dentures and quickly at home", "Make a brace for five dollars" ... Friday, December 18, the French Federation of Orthodontics (FFO) warned the public against the proliferation of adolescents videos explaining how to make their own braces.
If the phenomenon is fashionable in the United States, it is not yet widespread in France, but professionals prefer to warn: "These methods are dangerous and can cause many complications," said Maxime Rotenberg, orthodontist and member of the FFO to FranceTV info.
Trombone, wire and elastic
To remedy the dental "imperfections", adolescents publish videos showing how to use fireworks to align their teeth, get a diastema (a gap between the incisors) or otherwise bring them together. Trombone, wire, fishing line ... Everything is good to get a perfect smile.
To reconcile its incisors, the most common technique is to place a rubber band around both teeth to bring them closer. There are three years, the American Shalom De Sota has set an example in a video viewed more than 950,000 times on YouTube. Three years later, she does not regret it.
Contacted by FranceTV info, the young native girl Massachusetts ensures that its teeth "going very well". Besides, if Shalom has used the "home" is more than willing by necessity: "I had no money to pay me braces because my parents could not pay health insurance. I thought other people might be in the same situation as me, and I wanted to share my idea with the world. " His parents even find that his invention is "creative," she says. "They were not worried, I am not stupid." She said Shalom got the desired result in a few months.
"I must admit that girls who use this technique do it with some skill, says Maxime Rotenberg, the problem is that there are also real risks of inflammation and loosening of teeth." Moreover, improvise orthodontist seems risky. "We work with a dynamometer during our studies, we study the movement of teeth, their growth ... It does not just happen!"
Infection of the gums and tooth loss
Among the noise corridor that run between orthodontists, there is this story of a grandfather who, to address its incisors too far apart, would have surrounded a rubber band. "With the force of the spring, the teeth are close together in rotation, and took the form of cones," said Maxime Rotenberg. History has it that with saliva, the elastic is back on the gum, entering it to "cut the fibers attached to the teeth to the gums." That grandfather had existed or not, professional warns: this is how "teeth begin to move at the risk of losing them.".
In France, only one case was reported by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Kerbrat, doctor dentist in the hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris; He was a 12 year old boy who had lost his two teeth after being surrounded by an elastic, reports Le Figaro. Unlike the United States, health insurance and mutuals are accessible, and allow better access to dental care. "I think it is therefore more a fad," hopes the specialist.
The brain has no sex
Certain (s) will be delighted (s). Other rather disappointed (e) s. A new study indicates that brain perspective, men are not from Mars, or women from Venus. But rather an intermediate planet hybrid between the two, and still unknown. It was long believed that the brains of men was on average larger than that of women. We now know that this is false. Or at least, that the relationship between body weight and the brain is exactly the same for both sexes. We also know that it is not the number of neurons that matters, but the number and type of connections they establish. And this architecture spider three-dimensional plastic and is likely to change.
The study published in PNAS by Daphna Joel, from the School of Psychology at the University of Tel Aviv, and colleagues shows that "human brains can not be classified into two distinct types, the female brain and male brain. " This is not why there are no differences. There are more "feminine" traits, other more 'male' and finally other "neutral". Each brain is anatomically slightly different, functioning well, inducing different behaviors. Plasticity fact that shapes based on all the elements of our personal history. It is like a mosaic reflection of each course.
"Here we show that, although there are differences between male and female in the brain and behavior, humans and their brains are made up of" mosaic "features, some more prevalent in women compared to men Some conversely, and other present in both written Daphna Joel. Our results demonstrate (...) that the human brain can not be classified into two distinct classes, male or female. "
Researchers sifted recordings of different types of medical imaging performed on more than 1400 people. They analyzed the white matter, gray matter and connections (by the techniques of "connectome", aimed at establishing a comprehensive plan of neuronal connections in the brain). The aim was to identify areas rather "female" or rather "masculine". That the female brain is more "verbal" or slightly less effective for all that concerns the visualization and mental rotation in three dimensions, it has some slightly more developed glands under the action of hormones, it does not change basically gives ...
Catherine Vidal, neurobiologist and member of the ethics committee of Inserm, likes to repeat: "It is impossible to guess, looking at an adult brain, if it belongs to a man or a woman." If brains have large anatomical differences from one individual to another, "the differences between the brains of people of the same sex are far more important than any differences between the sexes."
This is what happens in our body when you stop smoking
Quitting smoking is not good for your wallet. Discover what are the effects related to the total cessation of smoking.
The new year is fast approaching and with it, its accompanying resolutions. And this year, why do not you would try (again) to quit smoking? For a few days or for life, this has a positive effect more than your health.
After a 20 minutes stop
Twenty minutes after your last cigarette, your blood pressure is lowered gradually to return to normal. Your heart rate also slows your feet and find a higher temperature.
After 12 hours stop
After this period, you will succeed more easily find sleep. Your oxygen levels in the blood increases, while, mechanically, the rate of carbon monoxide down.
After 24 hours of judgment
Good news: the risk of having a heart attack away in no small way.
After a 48-hour stop
You Reclaim you some sense that had been damaged by smoking, such as smell or taste. The reason ? The nerve endings that line the affected areas are restored.
After three months of arrest
Your respiratory system tells you thank you. You finally breathe easier and you no longer out of breath after three steps.
After a 1-year shutdown
If you held previously, you can congratulate yourself. Indeed, after a year away from cigarettes, may be affected by heart disease is halved.
After a 10 year standstill
From there, the risk of developing a smoking-related cancer becomes the same as that of a nonsmoker.
After a 15-year shutdown
After spending 15 years without smoking, the risk of dying from heart disease or related to smoking becomes the same as that of a nonsmoker.
The passive smoking more dangerous for animals than for men
Pets living in a smoking environment have also, health problems. Including cats, due to self-grooming their fur.
We know the harm of passive smoking, can cause asthma, lung cancer or a stroke in people who have never smoked. No wonder, since tobacco smoke contains 4000 harmful substances, at least ten proven carcinogens. But a new study underscores that living in a smoking environment also impacts on the health of pets.
"Greater risk than men because animals spend more time at home with their owner and closest carpets where carcinogenic particles may persist" said Professor Clare Knottenbelt, the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Glasgow (UK), in the Daily Telegraph.
"Our study in cats shows that they are more affected than dogs because of self-grooming their fur, because it increases the amount of particles ingested" she insists.
Dogs smokers grow
But dogs are not spared. Glasgow University researchers have discovered that when they live with a smoker owner, they gain more weight after sterilization in a smoke-free home. The study also focused on the testes of males after sterilization and the researchers found that a gene that acts as a marker of cell damage was higher in dogs living with smokers owners.
"Pet owners do not think about the impact that smoking can have on their pets. But these remain with them longer than children who spend their days at school" insists veterinarian.
Passive smoking: also harmful to your pets

Damaged cells, weight gain after castration and increased possibility of contracting certain cancers lurking animals exposed to cigarette smoke, said Clare Knottenbelt, Professor of Medicine and Oncology at the University of Glasgow Veterinary Institute, and author of the study.
"We have already demonstrated that dogs consume a significant amount of smoke when they live in a house. Our study shows that cats are even more affected, perhaps because of their careful toilet that would increase the amount of particles smoke absorbed by their body, "the professor said in a statement Tuesday by the University of Glasgow.
The study also noted that nicotine levels in the hair decrease significantly if consumption in the house drops below ten cigarettes a day.
Glasgow The researchers also found in the testes of males castrated damaged cells a marker gene, more present in dogs living in a smoking household.
This gene is altered in some dog cancer and it is less so when the owner smoke out of the house, reducing the exposure of her pet.
"The risk for smoking doubles the risk of passive smoking and for other dogs and cat owners often forget the risk they pose to their pets," said the professor, who argues for stopping tobacco, "the best solution for the health and well-being of your companion."
Bacteria resistant to the most powerful antibiotics ...
British doctors have discovered bacteria that can resist antibiotics to which we turn as a last resort.
Every year in France more than 160 000 patients are hit by infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and 13,000 of them die directly. When all antibiotics fail, doctors are turning to polymyxins (colistin and polymyxin), the powerful antibiotics called "last resort". However, health authorities in Britain have discovered bacteria can resist those antibiotics. MCR-1 gene, which renders bacteria resistant to colistin, has indeed been found in samples of Escherichia coli from human and pork meat as well as samples of Salmonella, UK.
Alert antibiotic-resistance
Following an alert on this antibiotic-resistance launched in China last November, British doctors analyzed 24,000 samples of bacteria and they have discovered the MCR-1 gene in fifteen samples from two human patients but as pigs and poultry.
However, the health authorities want to reassuring part because the identified organisms can be killed with proper cooking. "In addition, all bacteria that we have identified with this gene were susceptible to other antibiotics, known as carbapenems, penicillins family" says Professor Alan Johnson, head of Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance Department of Health Agency British public.
On 17 December, the veterinary authorities of the Netherlands had made the same discovery, the offending gene has been detected in samples of salmonella collected between 2014 and 2015, from Dutch chicken meat and "import turkey."
Giving birth at home is not more dangerous than in the hospital ...
A Canadian study, women who do not have a complicated pregnancy show no more risk when they give birth at home with a midwife until they give birth in hospital.
A large study has just been published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal compared the planned home births and hospital births in Ontario of the Canadian state. In this state, 10% of births are attended by midwives, 20% at home. The researchers compared 11,493 and home births with 11,493 planned hospital births during 3 years in women with no complicated pregnancy.
No more risk of harm to the child
For 35% of women, it was a first birth.
75% of women who planned a home birth in the presence of a midwife had been able to do and 8% of them have resorted to emergency care.
97% of those who had planned a hospital birth were able to do, and 1.7% required emergency care.
"Compared with women who planned to give birth at the hospital, women with planned birth at home had fewer obstetric interventions, were more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery with and were more likely further breastfeed within 3-10 days after delivery, "the researchers note.
They will also want reassurance about the risk of neonatal mortality (infant deaths in the first 27 days after birth) or stillbirth (birth of a stillborn child): the incidence was 1.15 per 1000 births in the group of home births compared to 0.95 per 1000 in the group of the birth of the hospital. "A low-risk differs little between the two delivery places. This shows that women with low pregnancy risk giving birth at home with the help of a midwife are not at risk increased harm to the child compared to hospital birth, "the researchers said.

China expelled the French journalist is preparing to read more from .................
Beijing correspondent of the French weekly L'Observateur, Ursula Gauthier, which will de facto expelled from China Thursday following an article having displeased Beijing, was preparing to leave the country.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced last week that the journalist would not obtain the renewal of his visa, accusing him of having "blatantly defended" terrorist acts in an article published mid-November, and Having thus "caused indignation of the Chinese people."
"I have a very strong sense of unreality. Because it happens too fast, it's too weird. I can not understand and therefore to integrate," said she told AFP from its apartment, where she finished preparing his bags and was finalizing a last article before his visa expired Dec. 31.
In his article published on November 18 on the website of L'Observateur, Ursula Gauthier wrote such a deadly attack on employees of a mine in the troubled region of Xinjiang (northwest) "bears no resemblance to attacks of November 13 "in Paris, but was" a localized explosion of rage "of Muslim Uighurs, many in the region, some of whom complain of guardianship Beijing.
"I did not say I supported terrorism, I have never supported terrorism in my article," Ms. Gauthier reiterated Thursday.
"I just explained that anger Uighurs comes from somewhere, as we can explain the anger of young Arabs who are radicalized, there has roots in this," she added.
The official media have harshly criticized the journalist in recent weeks and Ursula Gauthier said he received death threats from angry Chinese readers.
The organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has in turn accused Beijing of wanting to "intimidate" all foreign journalists in China by deciding to expel correspondent The Obs.
The leaders of several major French media published Wednesday an article denouncing the deportation of Ms. Gauthier and weak reaction of France, accused of leading a "doormat of diplomacy."
The French Foreign Ministry said had "regretted" the decision of Beijing.
For the signatories, "the silence" of Paris on "the convictions of political prisoners and violations of freedom of speech (...) guaranteed? S some way that would leave Paris without expelling Ms. Gauthier gesticulate too."
The Trindade Island: an ecological sanctuary and open air laboratory of Brazil read more .............
When astronomer Edmund Halley British landed in 1700 with goats and sheep on the island of Trindade, he dedicated this island paradise of the South Atlantic to the devastation.
It took over 300 years for the Brazilian authorities decided to end these animals that were excessively reproduced on this small island located between Brazil and Africa. They ravaged the forest that covered, affecting rivers and reproduction of local species like green turtles.
A 1167 km coastline? S State of Espirito Santo (Southeast), today Trindade is uneven and rocky terrain covered with low vegetation.
But gradually, through the intervention of scientists, volunteers and the military, nature takes its course and the island is poised to regain its label of "biodiversity paradise."
The island, where it happens only by boat, is a strategic point of defense for Brazil. Witness a battle between English and Germans in 1914, during the First World War, it is under the control of the Brazilian Navy and hosts dozens of scientific expeditions. It is forbidden to tourists.
"The island can quickly become a military action support position", told AFP the captain of frigate Mauro Santos Medeiros, who until recently headed the Oceanographic Station Island (Poit), inaugurated in 1957.
Today, 30 military work there permanently and take turns every two to four months.
- Hunting goats and sheep -
Although the island had been discovered in 1501 by Portugal, Halley was the first to land there in 1700, five years before discovering the famous comet that bears his name.
On arrival Halley said the islands "British territory", triggering a diplomatic dispute that has been resolved at the end of the 19th century when Brazil -colonisé in 1500 by the Portuguese - declared its independence.
In 1994, scientists from the National Museum of Rio recommended to eliminate some 800 goats, 600 sheep and hundreds of feral pigs on the island. The solution was to hunt. The last goat was killed in 2005 and 10 years later, Trindade gives signs of recovery.
"During my first mission in 1994, the island was devastated. I think now plant cover is frank recovery. We checked the satellite images," says Ruy Valka Alves, professor of the National Museum of Botany who killed more than 20 missions in Trindade.
- Crabs, turtles and 'Camel' -
The scientific station Trindade works on the island since 2011 and has already received 500 researchers. There is also a weather station - the only country on an island - which contributes the weather forecast worldwide.
Trindade is a breeding ground for various marine birds begin to return with the gradual return of vegetation. It abounds with coral, fish and shellfish, including crab yellow endangered. It also has the second largest community of green turtles in the South Atlantic, sheltering some 3,600 nests each year.
During the last breeding season the population of turtles has increased with the birth of 134,000 specimens, according to data from the Tamar turtle conservation project that has worked for over 30 years in the island.
In this paradise, however, no one can walk alone and bathing are restricted to a few beaches.
The rains form the high seas, to a very great depth, a huge wave called "camel" who arrived at the coast sweeps everything in its path, like a tsunami.
Since the Brazilian army has settled on the island in 1957, more than a dozen people drowned by the wave traitor.
Abnormal smoothly over the Arctic, more than 0 degree to the North Pole
The North Pole is abnormally low on Wednesday with temperatures between 0 and 2 degrees Celsius higher by at least 20 degrees above seasonal norms, because of a "powerful and violent" depression that affects the North Atlantic, depending on services Canadian weather.
After knowing in eastern Canada a Christmas unusually hot (15.9 degrees Celsius on December 24 in Montreal for often averages close to -10 degrees usually), this depression has won the North Atlantic Ocean.
She is currently centered on Iceland, making it drop the pressure of the air at 928 hectopascals and resulting winds 140 km / h and waves of 15 meters high.
"This is an extremely powerful and extremely violent depression, so it's not surprising that the warm temperatures are pushed so far north and high winds affect England" where the army was mobilized against weather, a told AFP Natalie Hasell, meteorologist at the Canadian Ministry of the Environment.
"This deep depression advancing warm air to the North Pole, where temperatures are at least greater than 20 degrees C compared to the normal" lying "around the freezing point 0, 1 and 2 degrees "added the specialist in extreme weather events.
US scientists from the North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) found that the mercury had climbed sharply the past two days, from -37 ° C Monday at -8 ° C Wednesday on a tag in the Arctic about 300 km from the North Pole, told AFP James Morison, a researcher at NPEO.
The Arctic is the region most affected by global warming globe, now with higher temperatures of three degrees minimum compared to pre-industrial times, according to international institutes. The snowfalls are more frequent there, strongest winds and the sea ice is in constant decline for over 30 years.
- El Niño -
It would be too early to link the mild temperatures observed at the end 2015 at the North Pole global warming, warned Mrs Hasell, noting that meteorologists based their conclusions did not "on one anomaly". Especially since the Canadian National Meteorology has no records of temperatures on the roof of the Earth, she said.
However, "it's really weird to have temperatures around 0 in late December at the North Pole," she noted, stressing that depression, with warmer temperatures would move in the coming days to the Siberia in northern Russia.
Capital of Inuit territory of Nunavut, northeast of Canada under the Arctic Circle, Iqaluit recorded at Christmas temperatures of -4.6 ° C and -4.9 ° C, -21 ° C against average of never seen again. Baffin Island, on which is Iqaluit, even experienced rains in December, said David Phillips, meteorologist at the Canadian Ministry of the Environment.
"This is probably El Niño who ventures to the North," said he told AFP about this weather phenomenon that occurs every four to seven years on average. Caused by a change in direction of the trade winds over the equatorial Pacific Ocean, El Niño episode in 2015 knows probably the most powerful in the last 100 years. Coupled with global warming, it generated extreme weather events such as floods, tornadoes, heat waves.

Shocked Israel by Jewish extremists celebrating the death of a Palestinian baby The video shows Jewish extremists celebrating the death of a Palestinian baby burned alive with his parents in the West Bank in July.
Israel in shock. A video, shot there about ten days and broadcast Wednesday by Channel 10 channel caused a scandal in the country. We see young Jewish extremists, filmed at a wedding.
Photo stabbed
They dance, brandishing guns and what looks like a molotov cocktail. Then they pose as a photo of a baby. It is that of Dawabsheh Ali, a Palestinian baby burned alive 18 months with his parents e, last July, the occupied West Bank. The photo, which circulates from hand to hand, was repeatedly stabbed.

The reactions were quick, as soon as the video broadcast on the air.
An investigation
"The shocking images that were broadcast on television (...) show the true face of a group that constitutes a danger to Israeli society and Israel's security. We are not prepared to accept that people deny the laws of the State and do not consider that they are subject to it, "said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
An investigation was opened by the authorities, Thursday, December 24. The security services announced that they have stopped "jeunessoupçonnés of belonging to a Jewish terrorist organization and committing terrorist attacks."
Last July, Ali Dawabsheh, 18 months was killed with his parents in an arson attack on their home in the occupied West Bank. If the child of 4 years old fmille survived, there is still hospitalized. Five months after the tragedy, no arrest has yet been held.
United States: 3000 prisoners released early by mistake Several thousands of US detainees benefited administrative largesse. They were released earlier than scheduled.
This is not a Christmas present and yet it looks like it. More than 3000 American prisoners of Washington were released earlier than expected due to error corrections.
The problem dates back to 2002, said Tuesday the governor Jay Inslee during a conference presse.Selon Metro Montreal website, the error from a judgment of the Supreme Court was delivered in July 2002.
The error repaired soon
It requires that the state provide credit services for prisoners demonstrating good behavior. Jumping an error attributed too much credit to many prisoners. Consequently, they are out, on average, 49 days earlier than foreseen in their sentence.
All releases under this credit scheme are suspended for the moment, the time that a remission of manual calculation is performed. the error must be repaired early January.
United States: 16 months, she is saved by a heart transplant In Chicago, a baby suffering from serious heart problems and hospitalized for more than 100 days was saved by a heart transplant. The story of the little girl, named Ava, has touched all America.
Her story touched the United States. A, 16 months, remained hospitalized in Chicago for 111 days before finally suffering a heart transplant. And be saved. This is the message posted two days ago by his mother on Facebook that moved the country: "She will receive her heart today A gift of a great family in those darkest hours have chosen to give. life to our daughter. "
Indeed, following a domestic accident, William, 2 years old, was taken to hospital when he stopped breathing. "We were both at work, and William was his nurse. He ate noodle soup with chicken and he strangled with a piece of chicken. The doctors did everything they could, they have him gave a dozen drug and eventually his heart went back, "says Jamie Heard, the mother of the child.
A nice gesture
If his heart restarts, William is brain dead. William's parents then agree to make an organ donation. And that's Ava who will benefit. 800 km distance between them. The heart arrived at 4:30 am from Tennessee. For this important time, the whole family met Ava. After several hours of operation, the transplant is a success.
For Christmas, the little girl is still in hospital, but she now breathes on her own and should be able to leave the hospital next week.
Fight against drugs: photos to shock prevention An American association aired pictures of people drugged with heroin, cocaine or methamphetamine. Their evolution over the years is frightening, and it is precisely the objective: to show how the drug gradually transformed the appearance of consumers, to the real physical decline.
The photos are linked, each more terrifying than each other. To raise awareness, the American Association of narcotics, Rehab, decided to shock. How ? Disseminating pictures of people arrested by the police for offenses related to drug use.
Ravaged faces
In a clip produced by the association, is seen in a few years, chubby faces turn under the effect of regular consumption of heroin, cocaine, opiates or amphetamines. Dilated pupils, skin ravaged by pimples and abscesses, damaged teeth, dug traits ... Evolution is frightening.
A similar campaign in 2012
The combination of the finger tip of each drug effects on physical appearance and hopes to have a deterrent effect. Already in 2012, Rehab was performed the same work by focusing on methamphetamines consumers. This is a policeman of Oregon that would have started airing similar shots after finding the physical degradation of addicts arrested persons. His work have inspired this association.
There would, in the US, 1.6 million cocaine users, 1.1 million hallucinogens and 300,000 methamphetamine.
pregnant, she made a live malaise
The young woman, aged 33 and presenter of the Newsroom broadcast on American news channel, fainted when she commented a survey on the dissatisfaction of the population regarding the counterterrorism efforts of the Obama administration . The faltering voice she perdi knowledge few moments before resuming the antenna a few minutes later.
"To those who ask me on Twitter if I'm fine, thank you very much (...) I had a heat stroke and I lost consciousness for a moment. I'm fine," she said in particular, smiling.
Later, after a visit to the hospital she tweeted: "Our little girl whose birth is scheduled for the spring goes well (...) we are both ok"
Star Academy: Alcohol, drugs, sex ... Jean-Pascal Lacoste says it all!
Star of the first season of Star Academy, Jean-Pascal Lacoste was then drilled on television and participated since 2006 in the series "Research Section" on TF1. But the former troublemaker musical talent show chain remembered for Europe 1 crunchy moments in the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys. Non Stop People tells you more.
On October 20, 2001, TF1 broadcast for the first time the Star Academy program. A concept of reality TV mixing song and dance where a dozen students lived in isolation in the castle of Dammarie-les-Lys and occurred every weekend live singers and prestigious company. The program has proved particularly Jenifer, Nolwenn Leroy, Elodie Frégé or Grégory Lemarchal.
Winner of the first edition, Jenifer might never participate in Star Academy. "Initially, Endemol does not want it. They came out of the loft and they had in mind the episodes in the pool. They said, it will happen some stuff," revealed there are few Pascal Negro, who had finally convinced production by recalling that they were there "to find singers." Almost fifteen years later, Jenifer can thank it that particular part of the jury of the show The Voice.
In 2001, the companion of Thierry Neuvic met Jean-Pascal Lacoste in Star Academy. Couples throughout the adventure they have not kept in touch, as revealed in the Research Sections player this summer: "In 2007, it was again crossed She promised me a dinner and then nothing. . It's a shame but that's life. That is the past. " He continued by mentioning a few secrets of the program: "To have their little moments alone with no cameras, whether for a kiss or another, we had a bathroom, where there were cameras everywhere, except at the bath
