Parasitoses Génito-Urinaires

Les parasites ont rarement une localisation strictement rénale. Cependant, la bilharziose urinaire est très fréquente en Afrique sub-saharienne et se manifeste par une hématurie. L\'hydatidose est essentiellement localisée au niveau hépatique, mais des localisations rénales sont possibles. D\'autres parasitoses (filarioses, paludisme) provoquent des glomérulonéphrites par des réactions immunologiques, qui disparaissent avec le traitement spécifique du parasite responsable.Parasites in the urinary system only are rare. Schistosoma haematobium infection is very frequent in tropical Africa, and is revealed by hematuria. Hydatic cysts are mostly found in the liver, but a renal infection is possible. The other parasites (filariasis, malaria) often lead to immune complex glomerulonephritis and are cured by specific treatment of the parasites.

NEUTRON DIFFRACTION STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE OF SOME ALUMINIUM- TRANSITION METAL NON PERIODIC CRYSTALS

A neutron scattering investigation of the structure of non periodic crystals Al-X, (X being Mn, Cr or MnCr mixture) has been performed. The negative coherent scattering length of Mn for thermal neutrons provided with a variable contrast with X. Our results are compared both with an X-Ray diffraction pattern and with a similar experiment performed on Al-(Mn,Fe) alloys using thermal neutron scattering. The hypothesis of the isomorphic substitution will be discussed and our results qualitatively checked with various structural models in order to try to determine the location of the atoms in the quasi-lattice
