[Corneal donation and anticipatory care in palliative care].

Until now, the early approach of palliative care patients for corneal harvesting has been unheard of in France. At the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Villeneuve-Saint-Georges Lucie-et-Raymond-Aubrac, in the Val-de-Marne region of France, we offer a rigorous and respectful procedure and organization for patients who have been carefully selected for an early approach to donation.

Looking behind the choice of organic: A cross-country analysis applying Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Models.

This cross-country study investigates the relative role of organic labelling in consumers' purchase decisions for apples and the extent to which behavioral constructs, derived from an extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior, influence consumers' choices. We apply an Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Model, combining a discrete choice experiment with structural equation modelling. Empirical validation draws on data from an online survey conducted in three European countries (N=404; N=407; N=401).

Elements of innovation and tradition in meat fermentation: Conflicts and synergies.

Fermented meats are often studied by food technologists and microbiologists with respect to their safety and quality properties. They are archetypal traditional foods, since they have originated as the products of empirical methods for meat preservation in a distant past and have evolved over many centuries towards a large assortment of varieties with strong territorial and socio-cultural connotations. Yet, an unambiguous definition of "traditional foods" is problematic and largely context-dependent, often being institutionalized and applied in a multitude of conflicting discourses by different actors.

Transpulmonary thermodilution enables to detect small short-term changes in extravascular lung water induced by a bronchoalveolar lavage.

Objective: To take the opportunity of a bronchoalveolar lavage to challenge the transpulmonary thermodilution for detecting the time course of changes in extravascular lung water.

Design: Observational study.

Setting: Medical ICU.
