Olivine avoidance behaviour by marine gastropods (Littorina littorea L.) and amphipods (Gammarus locusta L.) within the context of ocean alkalinity enhancement.

Gigaton scale atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) removal (CDR) is needed to keep global warming below 1.5 °C. Coastal enhanced olivine weathering is a CDR technique that could be implemented in coastal management programmes, but its CO sequestration potential and environmental safety remain uncertain.

The experience of diagnosis announcement in rare endocrine diseases: A survey of the French FIRENDO network.

Context: Diagnosis announcement of a chronic disease is a crucial moment for patients as well as for their families and an important step in the management of severe conditions such as rare endocrine diseases. Little is known of how diagnosis is communicated to patients and families.

Collaborative study for the establishment of the 3rd international standard for amphotericin B.

An international collaborative study was organised to establish the 3rd World Health Organization (WHO) International Standard (IS) for amphotericin B. Sixteen laboratories from different countries participated. Potencies of the candidate material were estimated by microbiological assays with sensitive micro-organisms.
