    Le carbure et le nitrure de titane ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©laborĂ©s par des procĂ©dĂ©s chimiques et physiques en phase vapeur. Ces procĂ©dĂ©s ont permis l'obtention d'un revĂȘtement cĂ©ramique Ă©pais et dense en vue de la protection d'un dispositif mĂ©tallique en tungstĂšne. L'influence des diffĂ©rents paramĂštres expĂ©rimentaux, propres Ă  chaque procĂ©dĂ©, a Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©e sur la germination, la microstructure et la texturation des revĂȘtements, tout en intĂ©grant l'interaction avec le substrat. L'analyse des contraintes rĂ©siduelles, rĂ©alisĂ©e par la mĂ©thode de sin2y , a permis d'expliquer le comportement vis-Ă -vis de la fissuration de diffĂ©rents dĂ©pĂŽts.Titanium carbide and titanium nitride were obtained by CVD and PVD techniques. These processes allowed the elaboration of a thick ceramic coating for protecting a tungsten metallic device. The influence of several experimental parameters, proper at each deposition technique, has been studied on the nucleation, the microstructure and the preferred orientation of the coatings, considering the interaction with the substrate. Residual stresses were estimated by sin2y method and a correlation with the microstructure was done in order to explain the cracking behaviour of different coatings

    Twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and coexisting fetus following ovulation induction with a non-prescribed clomiphene citrate regimen: a case report

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole represents a very rare obstetric problem. Management of such cases is always problematic because the possibility of fetal survival should always be weighed against the risk of complications of molar pregnancy.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A 34-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our center with mild vaginal bleeding. Our patient was 16 weeks pregnant after a seven-year period of primary infertility. She became pregnant following a non-prescribed regimen of clomiphene citrate extending from the second day to the 13th day of her last cycle. A transabdominal ultrasound examination revealed a twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole and a coexisting fetus. Serum ÎČ human chorionic gonadotropin was falsely low as identified by serial dilution of the sample (the 'hook effect'). Our patient refused termination of pregnancy and she was hospitalized for strict observation and follow-up. Unfortunately, she developed an attack of severe vaginal bleeding and a hysterotomy was performed. The fetus died shortly after birth.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Twin pregnancy with complete hydatidiform mole represents a matter of controversy. We suggest that conservation should always be considered whenever tertiary care services and strict observation are available.</p

    Low temperature, fast deposition of metallic titanium nitride films using plasma activated reactive evaporation

    Titanium and titanium nitride thin films were deposited on silica glass and W substrates at a high coating growth rate by plasma-activated reactive evaporation (ARE). The crystal structure, preferred orientation and grain size of the coatings were determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) technique using Cu-Kalpha x rays. The analysis of the coating morphology was performed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The composition of the films was analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). The titanium and titanium nitride condensates were collected on a carbon-coated collodion film then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in order to study the structures of the deposits at very short deposition times. The resistivity of the films was measured by using the four-point-probe method. The titanium coatings were found to consist of very fine particles (40 nm in grain size) and to exhibit a strong (002) texture. The titanium nitride coatings were substoichiometric (TiNx,x<1), with an oxygen content ranging from 7 to 15 at. % depending on the deposition conditions. The deposits were found to exhibit a (111) preferred orientation. This behavior became stronger with coating thickness. In spite of the presence of oxygen, all the TiNx coatings obtained at low temperature and a high growth rate in this work exhibited a rather high electrical conductivity
