Biohydrogen production in a continuous liquid/gas hollow fiber membrane bioreactor: Efficient retention of hydrogen producing bacteria via granule and biofilm formation.

The aim of this work was to develop a continuous liquid/gas membrane bioreactor (L/G MBR), i.e. a fermenting module including hollow fibers membrane for L/G separation, for biohydrogen production by dark fermentation.

[COVID-19 impact on the cancer care structuration: Example of the multidisciplinary team meeting dedicated to oncology in Occitanie].

This work examines the impact of the SARS-CoV2 epidemic and the organizational recommendations that have been issued since March 16 on tumor boards (TB) activity. The tumor board activity was measured from tumor board sheets extracted from the oncologic electronic file between January 7, 2019 and April 24, 2020. The pre-containment activity was compared to the activity of the containment periods but also to the equivalent periods in 2019.

Comparative trial of acyclovir and vidarabine in disseminated varicella-zoster virus infections in immunocompromised patients.

A comparative assessment of vidarabine and acyclovir in the treatment of varicella and disseminated zoster in immunosuppressed patients was undertaken. Thirty-eight immunosuppressed patients with varicella (N = 18) or disseminated zoster (N = 20) were treated intravenously with 10 mg/kg/day of vidarabine or 30 mg/kg/day of acyclovir for 5 days according to a preestablished code within each diagnosis group--varicella and disseminated zoster. Two deaths, although not directly related to VZV infection, were observed in the vidarabine-treated varicella group.
