CONT

A not uncommon problem in the early months after delivery is a condition called postpartum thyroiditis, a temporary derangement in the thyroid gland's function.

CONT

Recent reports have detailed the presence of autoantibodies characteristic of non-organ specific autoimmune diseases in the serum of patient with autoimmune postpartum thyroiditis (PPT). These observations suggest that PPT could be part of a polyclonal B-cell activation postpartum.

On a traité une femme de 33 ans qui présentait une thyroïdite indolore typique du post-partum. Sa sœur avait présenté un épisode comparable 13 ans auparavant et leur mère avait présenté une hyperthyroïdie du post-partum 42 ans plus tôt. Cette association familiale est une nouvelle preuve d'auto-immunité dans la thyroïdite du post-partum.

In an effort to reduce erosion and sediment delivery associated with forest roads, a road-decommissioning program was initiated in the early 1990s on Six Rivers National Forest.... Road decommissioning efforts target abandoned and low-use roads with high erosion and sedimentation risks. The focus of road decommissioning efforts has been on improving water quality and aquatic ecosystems through reducing sediment introduced to streams, and on reducing the risk of future sediment delivery from roads in the event of a large storm.

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The Satellite Transfer Vehicle(STV), which provides an economical and adaptable longboat for space satellites, is discussed. Market factors affecting satellite delivery and Space Shuttle upper-stage design are discussed, taking into account how the STV may fit into the Shuttle or the Ariane upper stage. The development and technical configuration, and commercial potential of the STV are examined. For the Space Station, the STV can satisfy early missions requirements defined for the NASA Orbital Transfer Vehicle.

OBS

The Surrey Small Satellite Transfer Vehicle (S3TV) should be capable of transferring a number of nano- or picosatellites from the launch vehicle injection orbit to a target orbit and providing phased deployment into a constellation. The resulting economy of scale could provide an opportunity for regular and lower cost launches. Simplifying the interfaces with the launch provider and depending less on the launch provider for specific interfaces to numerous small payloads can streamline the launch campaign and reduce scheduling and technical risks.

CONT

Adeno-associated virus(AAV) is unique in the viral world because it has never been shown to have any pathogenic effects in humans, and most of the population has been exposed to AAV early in life. This recommends it as a vehicle for gene therapy. And, during the past five years or so, interest has widened in the development of AAV vectors for gene delivery.

DEF

Virus icosaédrique [20 faces] d'un diamètre de 21,8 nm, dont la multiplication est dépendante de la présence d'adénovirus.

OBS

AAV : Bien que cette abréviation soit largement utilisée en français, on recommande l'abréviation «VAA» qui correspond au terme français «virus adéno-associé».

L'hémorragie post-partum (HPP) est une des causes principales de morbidité et de mortalité maternelles dans les pays industrialisés. On peut classer l'HPP en deux catégories: 1) HPP précoce (premières 24 heures du post-partum); et 2) HPP tardive (plus de 24 heures et moins de 6 semaines après l'accouchement. [...] Les pertes sanguines moyennes normales sont de 500mL pour un accouchement vaginal et de 1000 mL pour une césarienne. L'HPP peut être définie comme des pertes sanguines qui dépassent ces valeurs, toute quantité de sang qui cause une instabilité hémodynamique ou une diminution de 10 % de l'hématocrite.

CONT

Ex-works or ex-store contracts... can hardly be considered as export sales at all, since it is the buyer's duty to take delivery at the works or store in question, and what he does with them after that is entirely his own affair. The property and risk will, in the absence of any contrary indication, pass when the goods are delivered in most contracts of this kind, since they are almost invariably sales of unascertained goods and it is unlikely that there will be any appropriation(exception perhaps where provision is made for inspection at an early date) prior to delivery.

The Goal of Gene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis... Gene therapy offers the best hope for a life-saving treatment which tackles the root cause of cystic fibrosis(CF), rather than only treating the symptoms... These early trials test the safety and efficiency of the adenovirus delivery system. Patients are monitored to detect whether the normal CF gene has turned on. If so, the gene will produce a normal protein that is vital to the health of cells lining the respiratory tract.

Gène de la mucoviscidose localisé sur le bras du chromosome 7.

CONT

Grâce aux "enzyme de restriction", ciseaux moléculaires permettant de découper l'ADN en fragments, et aux "marqueurs" courtes séquences de nucléotides servant de point d'attaque aux enzymes de restriction, l'équipe de Lap-Chee Tsui, de concert avec Collaborative Research Inc. de Boston, réussit d'abord à restreindre la recherche du gène, baptisé gène CF (pour cystic Fibrosis, dénomination anglaise de la mucoviscidose), à moins de 1% de tout le matériel génétique. C'était en octobre 1985. Un mois plus tard, la même équipe annonce que le gène CF est localisé dans le bras long du chromosome 7. La région en question est formée d'environ un million de bases nucléotidiques.

OBS

La protéine du gène CF a été baptisée CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator).
