Relationship between wine composition and temperature: Impact on Bordeaux wine typicity in the context of global warming-Review.

Weather conditions throughout the year have a greater influence than other factors (such as soil and cultivars) on grapevine development and berry composition. Temperature affects gene expression and enzymatic activity of primary and secondary metabolism which determine grape ripening and wine characteristics. In the context of the climate change, temperatures will probably rise between 0.

An elasto-hydrodynamical model of friction for the locomotion of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is one of the most studied organisms by biologists. Composed of around one thousand cells, easy to culture and to modify genetically, it is a good model system to address fundamental physiological questions and in particular to investigate neuromuscular processes.

Acne in recipients of renal transplantation treated with sirolimus: clinical, microbiologic, histologic, therapeutic, and pathogenic aspects.

We evaluated the clinical characteristics of sirolimus-induced acne in 80 recipients of renal transplantation. It developed in 36 of 48 (75%) men and 2 of 32 (6%) women. Lesion locations and clinical, bacteriologic, and histologic features differentiated sirolimus-induced acne from acne vulgaris, but therapeutic management was similar.

[Macrophage activation syndrome, hemophagocytic syndrome].

Macrophage activation syndrome MAS describes the clinical, biological and histological symptoms related to a probably T lymphocytes/NK cell driven stimulation of macrophages with the consequence of a hemophagocytosis involving numerous organs, preferentially bone marrow, explaining the other term of "hemophagocytic syndrome". Clinical symptoms include cytopenia, multiple organ dysfunction, fever unresponsive to antibiotics, fatigue and rash. Infections (bacteria, virus or parasites), lymphoproliferative disorders, cancers, systemic diseases are the most prevalent triggers or etiologies of M.

Medical management of neurofibromatosis 1: a cross-sectional study of 383 patients.

Background: The morbidity and mortality caused by neurofibromatosis 1 are a result of complications that may involve any of the body systems. Two models of management have been proposed for the detection of various complications in specialized neurofibromatosis clinics: investigation protocols (including extensive imaging and analysis of 24-hour urinary catecholamine levels); or clinical follow-up without imaging.

Objective: Our purpose was to validate the strategy of clinical follow-up (without routine imaging and 24-hour urinary catecholamine levels).
