Building a database for long-term monitoring of benthic macrofauna in the Pertuis-Charentais (2004-2014).

Background: Long-term benthic monitoring is rewarding in terms of science, but labour-intensive, whether in the field, the laboratory, or behind the computer. Building and managing databases require multiple skills, including consistency over time as well as organisation via a systematic approach. Here, we introduce and share our spatially explicit benthic database, comprising 11 years of benthic data.

BioNLP Shared Task--The Bacteria Track.

Background: We present the BioNLP 2011 Shared Task Bacteria Track, the first Information Extraction challenge entirely dedicated to bacteria. It includes three tasks that cover different levels of biological knowledge. The Bacteria Gene Renaming supporting task is aimed at extracting gene renaming and gene name synonymy in PubMed abstracts.

[Papilloma viruses: group-specific antigens within lesions of the oral mucosa].

The present study was undertaken with purpose to investigate the relationships between intraepithelial proliferations of malpighian mucosa and the presence of group specific papilloma virus antigens. The investigations allowing to give viral types or subtypes, the hybridization technics, are very heavy and not disponible in routine practice. The detection of widely distributed genus specific HPV antigen using PAP immunohistochemical labeling in different lesions and their association with displastic or neoplastic processes is presented.

Fractures of the frontal sinus.

Fractures of the frontal sinus are frequently seen in patients with cranio-facial injuries. Trauma to the posterior wall and more deeply located tissues: anterior fossa, dura and brain, give an indication of the seriousness of such injuries. We point out some particular aspects of our experience; in the neurosurgical approach to such lesions; we use a classification based on treatment: -when the posterior wall of the sinus is not, or only slightly damaged, we drain it using a thin suction catheter pulled through the fronto-nasal duct, kept in place for six to ten days.

[Frontobasal injuries and csf fistulas. Attempt at an anatomoclinical classification. Therapeutic incidence].

The authors present a classification of trauma to the cranial base, based on observation in 80 cases. There are five types. Type I : involves only the anterior wall of the frontal sinus.
