Echocardiography practice, training and accreditation in the intensive care: document for the World Interactive Network Focused on Critical Ultrasound (WINFOCUS)

Echocardiography is increasingly used in the management of the critically ill patient as a non-invasive diagnostic and monitoring tool. Whilst in few countries specialized national training schemes for intensive care unit (ICU) echocardiography have been developed, specific guidelines for ICU physicians wishing to incorporate echocardiography into their clinical practice are lacking. Further, existing echocardiography accreditation does not reflect the requirements of the ICU practitioner. The WINFOCUS (World Interactive Network Focused On Critical UltraSound) ECHO-ICU Group drew up a document aimed at providing guidance to individual physicians, trainers and the relevant societies of the requirements for the development of skills in echocardiography in the ICU setting. The document is based on recommendations published by the Royal College of Radiologists, British Society of Echocardiography, European Association of Echocardiography and American Society of Echocardiography, together with international input from established practitioners of ICU echocardiography. The recommendations contained in this document are concerned with theoretical basis of ultrasonography, the practical aspects of building an ICU-based echocardiography service as well as the key components of standard adult TTE and TEE studies to be performed on the ICU. Specific issues regarding echocardiography in different ICU clinical scenarios are then described

Recherche sur les groupes sanguins de populations Bamiléké (Bafang, Cameroun)

RÉSUMÉ. Chez les Bamiléké de la région de Bafang (Cameroun), on trouve la répartition suivante : groupe 0 = 54,8 %, A = 23,8 %, В = 18,2 %, AB = 3,2 %. Le groupe A se décompose en : 15,7 % de A1 et 8,1 % de A2. La vérification des résultats a été faite par le test du x2 avec d'excellents résultats. Pour le groupe MN, on a trouvé : MM = 28 %, NN = 21,5 %, MN = 50,5 % (test du x2 excellent). Pour le groupe P : P positif = 97,5 % (sur 40 cas seulement). Pour le Rhesus standard, on a trouvé sur 502 cas : Rh + = 96,8 % et Rh - = 3,2 %. Il y a donc indiscutablement des sujets Rhesus négatif au Cameroun, dans la proportion d'environ 3 % à Bafang. L'étude des sous-groupes Rhesus a été faite sur 250 sujets ; on a trouvé 65 % de phénotype ce D. ее. Une discussion mathématique des résultats a été faite : les discordances, surtout pour le groupe G, avec des sérums qui donnent des résultats satisfaisants pour la race blanche, font penser à la présence d'allèles particuliers à la race noire. Les conclusions anthropologiques de l'étude des groupes sanguins des races du Cameroun ne pourront être données qu'après d'autres études de populations homogènes, vérifiées elles aussi par les tests mathématiques.Henninot E., Polaert J., Happi C.

Aroma compounds production by solid state fermentation, importance of in situ gas-phase recovery systems

International audienceFlavour and fragrance compounds are extremely important for food, feed, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. In the last decades, due to the consumer's increased trend towards natural products, a great interest in natural aroma compounds has arisen to the detriment of chemically synthesised ones. Recently, solid state fermentation (SSF) has been applied in the production of many metabolites. Aroma compounds can be produced by SSF with a higher yield compared to submerged fermentation (SmF). In SSF processes, aroma compounds can be produced in the solid matrix or in the headspace, but they can be lost or stripped when aeration is required. This review focuses on the production of aroma compounds by SSF processes with a special highlight on in situ systems to recover the volatiles released in the gaseous phase and stripped due to aeration. Following a brief presentation of specificities of SSF processes concerning the choice of microorganisms and the solid matrix used for the production of aroma compounds, bioreactor aspects, factors affecting production of aroma compounds and in situ gas phase aroma recovery systems in aerated SSF bioreactors are discussed
