Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.

Fatal infections with the rare COUG strain of the zoonotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii were recently detected for the first time in four southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) exhibiting severe protozoal steatitis. The objectives of this study were to describe new COUG strain infections in sea otters, investigate the potential contributory role of a recently discovered parasite-infecting narnavirus (Apocryptovirus odysseus) in these infections, assess the potential contribution of vitamin E deficiency in the development of systemic steatitis, and explore the utility of serotyping for strain-specific diagnosis of T. gondii infections in sea otters.
