[Hypnosis in emergency medicine : let's change our habits!].

The effectiveness of hypnosis in the management of pain and anxiety has been widely demonstrated today. While this technique is commonly used in anesthesia and psychiatry, its use in emergencies is still poorly developed. The fields of application in hospital and extra-hospital emergency are however multiple and, contrary to popular belief, emergencies are the ideal place for the practice of hypnosis.

Quantifying efficacy of investigation during a simulated psychiatric interview.

Introduction: Simulation is a very promising educational tool. It provides medical students with clinical experience without jeopardizing patients' health. This tool can be implemented in psychiatry training in order to develop interview and specific assessment skills which is why the Université de Lorraine relies increasingly on simulation in teaching psychiatry to its residents.

Preparation, Characterization and Antifungal Properties of Chitosan-Silver Nanoparticles Synergize Fungicide Against .

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major staple food crops of nearly two-third of the world's population. However, rice blast caused by fungus Pyricularia oryzae is generally considered the most serious disease of cultivated rice worldwide due to its extensive distribution and destructiveness under favourable climatic conditions.

Integrin αIIbβ3-Dependent ERK Signaling Is Regulated by Src and Rho Kinases in Both Leu33 and Pro33 Polymorphic Isoforms.

Platelet integrin αIIbβ3 possesses a Leu/Pro polymorphism at residue 33 (Leu33/HPA-1a or Pro33/HPA-1b). The Pro33 isoform has been suggested to exhibit prothrombotic features. αIIbβ3-expressing CHO (Chinese hamster ovary) cells on immobilized fibrinogen show activation of the MAP kinase family member ERK2, with an enhanced ERK2 activity in Pro33 cells compared to Leu33 cells.
