[What follow-up after pediatric cancer ? The SALTO consultation experience].

During the past 50 years, the mortality due to childhood cancers decreased dramatically thanks to improvements in supportive care and the use of multimodal approaches. In this context, the long-term follow up after childhood cancer has become a main concern for pediatric oncologists. The SALTO programme was developed in 2012 at the CHR Citadelle in Liège in order to organize a multidisciplinary long-term follow-up for the patients previously treated in our department for a childhood cancer.

[The rise of targeted therapies in pediatric oncology].

Cancers are rare pathologies in children. Improvement in survival rates has been obtained thanks to new therapeutic strategies based on the identification of risk factors. Targeted therapies in paediatric oncology are new treatments providing hope that cure is achievable without long-term sequelae.

Enhanced Light Stability of InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors by Atomic-Layer-Deposited YO with Ozone.

We report the effect of YO passivation by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using various oxidants, such as HO, O plasma, and O, on In-Ga-Zn-O thin-film transistors (IGZO TFTs). A large negative shift in the threshold voltage (V) was observed in the case of the TFT subjected to the HO-ALD YO process; this shift was caused by a donor effect of negatively charged chemisorbed HO molecules. In addition, degradation of the IGZO TFT device performance after the O plasma-ALD YO process (field-effect mobility (μ) = 8.

Comparison of the Atomic Layer Deposition of Tantalum Oxide Thin Films Using Ta(NBu)(NEt), Ta(NBu)(NEt)Cp, and HO.

The growth characteristics of TaO thin films by atomic layer deposition (ALD) were examined using Ta(NBu)(NEt) (TBTDET) and Ta(NBu)(NEt)Cp (TBDETCp) as Ta-precursors, where Bu, Et, and Cp represent tert-butyl, ethyl, and cyclopentadienyl groups, respectively, along with water vapor as oxygen source. The grown TaO films were amorphous with very smooth surface morphology for both the Ta-precursors. The saturated ALD growth rates of TaO films were 0.

Fungal isolation and identification in 21 cases of guttural pouch mycosis in horses (1998-2002).

This aetiological study of guttural pouch mycosis (GPM) in the horse was based on the retrospective study of 21 horses brought into the National Veterinary School of Lyon (France) between 1998 and 2002. Biopsies were taken from the lesions caused by GPM during endoscopic examination. In 87% of the cases, direct examination gave positive results, whereas 43% of the cultures were found to be negative.
