The Spanish flu pandemic is the catastrophe against which all modern pandemics are measured. Many people died from this very quickly. Some people who felt well in the morning became sick by noon, and were dead by nightfall. Those who did not succumb to the disease within the first few days often died of complications from the flu(such as pneumonia) caused by bacteria. One of the most unusual aspects of the Spanish flu was its ability to kill young adults.  2, fiche 4, Anglais, - Spanish%20influenza

La influenza española recibió ese nombre porque España sufrío un brote temprano y agudo, pero no se originó allí. Su verdadero origen permanece incierto. La primera cepa fue lo bastante leve para que la mayoría de las fuerzas militares de la Primera Guerra Mundial la descartaran, considerándola una molestia pasajera. En cambio, cuando la segunda cepa atacó a Norteamérica en el verano de 1918, el virus causó una ola de muertes.  1, fiche 4, Espagnol, - influenza%20espa%C3%B1ola

An ingenious experiment offers hope for a new kind of surgery for cancer. Kenneth Culver(National Cancer Institute-USA spliced a snippet of DNA from a herpes virus into one of these retroviruses and injected the combination into rats suffering from brain cancer. Since cancer cells are about the only cells that are dividing in a cancer-infected brain, the viruses were supposed to invade those cells and multiply. After five days, the rats were treated with an antiherpes drug. The hope was that the toxin would kill herpes-infected cancer cells and leave the rest of the brain alone. In 11 of the 14 rats, the tumors disappeared completely. The results were so promising that an NIH watchdog committee has already approved a similar test on humans. The risks are high. The researchers will, in effect, be putting mouse genes directly into human brains. But the payoff could be great. Cancer Institute researchers are now searching for other inoperable cancers that might succumb to what they are calling molecular surgery.  1, fiche 5, Anglais, - molecular%20surgery
