The outbreak of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has led to measures of social distancing and quarantine worldwide. This stressful period may lead to psychological problems, including increases in substance use. To investigate changes in alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis consumption before and during COVID-19 lockdown and motives for these changes in substance use. A web-based survey was filled out by an unselected population during the social distancing measures of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium that assessed changes in alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis consumption in the period before and during the COVID-19 lockdown and also asked about reasons for change. A total of 3,632 respondents (mean age 42.1 ± 14.6 years; 70% female) filled out the survey. Overall, respondents reported consuming more alcohol (d = 0.21) and smoking more cigarettes (d = 0.13) than before the COVID-19 pandemic (both p < 0.001), while no significant changes in the consumption of cannabis were noted. The odds of consuming more ainally more cigarettes compared to the period before the lockdown. Further research focussing on follow-up of individuals at risk may be useful to provide appropriate care in post-COVID times.Tetragametic chimeras are due to the fusion of 2 different zygotes after fertilization. When occurring between embryos of different chromosomal sex, the phenotype ranges from fertile individuals to infertile patients and even to patients with variations in sex development. Here, we report 3 new cases of XX/XY chimeras, one in a young boy carrying an abnormal gonad which turned out to be an ovary and 2 in phenotypically normal infertile men, one of whom had been diagnosed previously as a XX-SRY negative male. These cases highlight the importance of combining several cytogenetic and molecular techniques on
