[Infants' attachment security in a vulnerable French sample].

Introduction: Attachment is a long lasting emotional link established between infants and their caregivers. The quality of early relationships allows infants to safely explore their environment and contribute to the establishment of a broad range of social skills. Several intervention programs targeting infant attachment have been implemented in different contexts, showing diverse degrees of efficacy.

Objective: Unusual clinical course.

Background: Rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is the most frightening and potentially life threatening complication of an abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA).

In vivo assessment of antidiabetic and antioxidant activities of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) in alloxan-diabetic rabbits.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), used in traditional Turkish folk medicine for the treatment of hyperglycaemia, is widely accepted as one of the medicinal herb with the highest antioxidant activity. Accordingly, the present study was designed to investigate the possible actions of ethanolic extract of the leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis on glucose homeostasis and antioxidant defense in rabbits. In the first set of experiments, hypoglycaemic effects of oral administration of various doses (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg) of the extract were examined in normoglycaemic and glucose-hyperglycaemic rabbits.

Atomic force microscopy tips (cantilevers) as molecular nucleic acid sensors.

A model single strand DNA (ssDNA) was covalently immobilized onto AFM tips (cantilevers) as specific ligand. These tips were interacted with the buffer solutions with or without free ssDNA molecules as the target strands to be detected. Immobilization and hybridization onto the cantilever surfaces were observed by optical and fluorescence microscopies.

Analysis of heart rate variability in children with primary nocturnal enuresis.

Although nocturnal enuresis is probably the most common developmental disorder in children, the pathogenesis and management remain unclear. Autonomic dysfunction is one of the proposed mechanisms for nocturnal enuresis in children. The objective of current study was to evaluate autonomic nervous system functions in enuretic children.
