Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Re-epithelialization of the wound begins within a couple of hours of the injury. Epithelial cells, arising from either the wound margins or residual dermal epithelial appendages within the wound bed, begin to migrate under the scab and over the underlying viable connective tissue. ... Reepithelialization is complete in less than 48 h in the case of approximated incised wounds, but may take substantially longer in the case of larger wounds where there is a significant tissue defect 1, record 1, English, - reepithelialization

An all-purpose disease-fighting nanomachine might take the form of a miniature submarine that would navigate its way through the bloodstream. In that submarine would be a powerful nanocomputer. This computer would be programmed to seek out and destroy disease-causing organisms. Sensor devices attached to the submarine would examine all objects it encountered, studying their shapes and surface molecules, and comparing them with a database of known disease organisms stored in the computer's memory banks. When a pathogen is encountered, it could be destroyed, broken down into its molecular building blocks. 2, record 4, English, - disease%2Dfighting%20submarine

Il serait plus logique que la médecine lutte contre les maladies avec des outils plus ou moins adaptés à la taille de la cellule, afin de reconnaître individuellement la cellule malade et de la traiter de façon sélective. Notre système immunitaire sait le faire : certains lymphocytes sont capables de reconnaître des cellules malades isolées pour n’ éliminer qu'elles, ce qui explique éventuellement la «guérison spontanée» occasionnellement observée du mélanome malin, un cancer de la peau. Pour appliquer cette stratégie en médecine, nous aurions besoin d’instruments à l'échelle nanométrique, capables de reconnaître des maladies(«détecteurs») et de les traiter(«effecteurs») [...]. Jusqu'à leur application aux patients, ces méthodes nanotechnologiques futuristes demanderont encore des années de recherche et de développement. Les «nanoconteneurs» synthétiques en cours de développement réunissent déjà un certain nombre de conditions pour devenir peut-être un jour les «sous-marins médicaux» de l'avenir. 1, record 4, French, - sous%2Dmarin%20m%C3%A9dical

Congenital laryngeal stridor (also called laryngomalacia) results from a congenital (present at birth) anomaly of the larynx (voice box). A weakness in the structures in the larynx, can cause stridor.
