[Urban culture and physical and sports activities. The "sportification" of parkour and street golf as cultural mediation].

The article explores the process of "sportification"--i.e., processing physical activity in a sport regulated by a set of rules and standards, legitimized by supervisory institutions--from two originals practices, parkour and urban golf.

[Pseudo-Still disease and deep neoplasm].

Some rare observations with the diagnosis of Still's disease in adults reveal a different diagnosis: a paraneoplasic syndrome related to a non differentiated bronchitic carcinoma. The term "paraneoplasic pseudo Still's disease" can be considered. However we have to add a syndrome of intestinal dysfunction with characteristics of pseudoblockage with an imprecise mechanism.

Premature termination codon at the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene causes cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis in a French family.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is an autosomal recessive lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP27). So far several mutations causing CTX have been identified and characterized. A new mutation creating an insertion of cytosine at position 6 in the cDNA, which is expected to result in a frameshift and a premature termination codon at codon 179, has been identified in a French family.

[Clinical and developmental aspects of Horton's disease. Retrospective study of 100 cases].

100 patients, from three internal medicine departments, were the subject of a retrospective study concerning the clinical manifestations and the evolution of Horton's disease. The mean age is 71 years, with a 2/1 female predominance. A temporal artery biopsy was obtained in all cases.
