HAVE BITE [6 records]

Record 1 2025-05-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bacterial Diseases
CONT

Anaplasmosis, also known as human granulocytic anaplasmosis, is a tickborne disease caused by the bite of a tick carrying the bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Two tick species, the blacklegged tick(Ixodes scapularis) and western blacklegged tick(Ixodes pacificus), are known to carry the bacterium. There have also been rare, reported cases associated with blood transfusion.

CONT

Anaplasmosis generally presents with nonspecific symptoms such as fever, chills, malaise, headaches, and myalgias. On rare occasions, a rash may be present. The patient may also report nonspecific gastrointestinal (GI) or respiratory symptoms. A low number of patients manifest with life-threatening complications.

  • Maladies bactériennes
CONT

Transmise par la tique à pattes noires, soit la même tique qui transmet la maladie de Lyme, l'AGH est causée par la bactérie Anaplasma phagocytophilum. [...] Les symptômes les plus fréquemment décrits par les patients atteints étaient la fièvre (100 % des cas), la fatigue (98 % des cas) et les maux de têtes (88 % des cas). De plus, au moment de la première consultation médicale, 80 % des patients présentaient une thrombocytopénie, et 72 %, une leucopénie.

In the Grain Research Laboratory, texture of cooked spaghetti is measured on an apparatus that attempts to characterize cooking quality using three parameters. Tenderness index is related to bite, compressibility to firmness, and recovery to chewiness. These have been found to be related to values of shear force obtained on the Instron and to values obtained by sensory evaluation.

  • Pâtes alimentaires
CONT

Au laboratoire de recherche sur les grains, on apprécie la texture du spaghetti cuit à l'aide d'un appareil qui tente de caractériser le comportement à la cuisson selon trois paramètres : l'indice de tendreté est lié à plusieurs facteurs, notamment le croquant, la compressibilité et l'élasticité à la mastication. On a constaté que ces valeurs ont un rapport avec les indices de force de cisaillement obtenus à l'Instron, et avec les indices obtenus par l'évaluation sensorielle.

Record 4 1998-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases
CONT

Anaerobic organisms require an oxygen free environment to grow normally. Strict anaerobes are actually inhibited from growing in the presence of oxygen. Anaerobes represent 5-10% of all clinical infections. Areas of the body with normal amounts of anaerobic flora are the regions most susceptible to anaerobic infection. Anaerobic infections usually have the following characteristics : foul smelling discharge, proximity to mucosal membrane, necrotic tissue, gas formation in tissues or discharge infection following a bite.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines
DEF

Infection due à des germes ne pouvant se développer sur un milieu contenant plus de 20 % d'oxygène.

For airlines the commission has tried to establish a "one time, last time" principle : national airlines may be bailed out to help them restructure but cannot have a second bite.

Pour les compagnies aériennes, la Commission a tenté d'imposer le principe de «première et dernière fois» : les compagnies nationales peuvent être renflouées dans la perspective d'une restructuration, mais cette aide ne peut être renouvelée.
