The English term "drug" has a less restrictive meaning than its French cognate "drogue". In English it not only conveys the meaning of any substance, whether legally available or not, which causes addiction, but also that of any substance intended for use in the treatment of a disease with or without a prescription. In French the primary meaning is that of an illicit substance, despite a more generic use found in legal contexts(Food and Drugs Act=Loi des aliments et drogues). Intrinsically more specific, the French favor the use of "produit pharmaceutique" and "médicament", as well as derivatives thereof, e. g. "pharmacodépendance, toxicomanie, etc. Consequently, in the case of "drug withdrawal syndrome", the use of "drogue"(i. e. substance that causes addiction) is not entirely inappropriate. 2, record 2, English, - drug%20withdrawal%20syndrome

Influent flow control to increase the pollution load treated during rainy periods... As for the system management, the French Decree of 22 December 1995 states that flows or pollution loads exceeding the reference capacity of the treatment plant may be temporarily admitted. This is especially interesting in the case of separate wastewater sewerage, as inappropriate connections of runoff water and rainfall induced infiltration cause hydraulic overloads in such networks. An automated influent flow control has been implemented on a 8000 population equivalent plant to admit a maximum of twice the dry weather peak flow : the clarifier is then dynamically managed so that neither sludge loss nor degradation through anoxic conditions may occur. 2, record 4, English, - dry%20weather%20peak%20flow

Alpha and beta interferons play an important role in the regulation of the normal immune response. The abnormal production of type I interferons can, however, lead to an inappropriate immune response and to the development of autoimmunity and to the rejection of allografts. The cloning of the type I interferon receptor in our laboratory has enabled us to synthesise soluble variants of the receptor and to isolate a monoclonal antibody capable of inhibiting the biologic action of all the type I interferons tested. We have shown that treatment of monkeys with the anti-interferon receptor antibody together with a subeffective dose of cyclosporin A results in permanent survival of skin and bone marrow allografts. 1, record 6, English, - anti%2Dinterferon

Les immunomodulateurs agissent soit en bloquant les lymphocytes qui franchissent la barrière sang-cerveau (le copolymère, bien toléré, mais qui n'est pas encore autorisé en Europe) soit en s'opposant à l'action de certaines molécules destructives de la myéline (l'interféron ß). Ils réduisent la fréquence des poussées d'environ 30%; l'interféron ß semble, en outre, retarder l'apparition du handicap. En revanche, ce dernier présente des effets secondaires (fatigue, maux de tête, fièvre), qui disparaissent toutefois au bout de quelques semaines. Autre inconvénient, environ 20% des patients développent des anticorps anti-interféron ß. 2, record 6, French, - anti%2Dinterf%C3%A9ron
