Chloroquine maculopathy : Chloroquine is an antimalarial drug that is also used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and SLE [systemic lupus erythematosus].... The long-term use of chloroquine causes keratopathy, maculopathy and optic neuropathy. The corneal deposits(verticillata) do not cause visual symptoms but macular edema and subsequent development of maculopathy impair the vision significantly. 3, record 1, English, - chloroquine%20maculopathy

Each test assesses the three levels (A, B, or C) of second language proficiency that may be required for bilingual positions in the Public Service of Canada. Candidates who obtain a score high enough that they need not be tested again on a given test are exempted from taking it in the future. All tests are administered in test centres located in departments and in PSC regional offices. Requests for testing are made through the official languages section of departments.

Record number: 12, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Il existe trois tests de langue seconde, chacun mesurant l'une des habiletés suivantes : la compréhension de l'écrit, l'expression écrite et l'interaction orale. Chaque test permet d'évaluer les candidats en regard des trois niveaux (A, B et C) de compétence linguistique en langue seconde exigibles pour les postes bilingues au sein de la fonction publique fédérale. Les candidats qui obtiennent une note suffisamment élevée indiquant qu'ils n'ont pas besoin d'être évalués à nouveau dans une habileté reçoivent une exemption dans cette habileté et n'ont pas à subir ce test à nouveau. Tous ces tests sont administrés dans les centres d'évaluation des ministères et dans les bureaux régionaux de la CFP. Les demandes d'administration sont faites auprès des services d'évaluation de langue seconde des ministères. Ces tests d'évaluation de langue seconde ne peuvent servir à évaluer les compétences linguistiques des candidats dans leur langue maternelle. 7, record 12, French, - %C3%89valuation%20de%20langue%20seconde

Il existe souvent dans le sérum de sujets atteints de lupus érythémateux disséminé des anticorps anticoagulants affectant la première phase de la coagulation. Ces anticoagulants circulants sont des anticorps (en général de classe IgG), le plus souvent dirigés contre la partie lipidique du complexe prothrombique. La présence de ces anticoagulants n'est en général pas associée à une tendance hémorragique (sauf quand il existe une thrombopénie). 3, record 15, French, - anticoagulant%20circulant
