CT scan on admission (A) and under mechanical ventilation (B) of 4 patients presenting an abscess (1, 2, 3, and 4).

<p>We selected the most obvious lung abscesses. In the first place, CT scan illustrated that abscess occurred in the most contused area. Secondly, these images allowed us to appreciate the size and shape of the abscess. The thin-walled cavity and its surrounding consolidation appear.</p

The multistep road to ventilator-associated lung abscess: A retrospective study of <i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i> ventilator-associated pneumonia

<div><p>Object</p><p>We observed some cases of lung abscess (LA) in ICU patients suffering <i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i> ventilator-associated pneumonia (<i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i>-VAP). We aimed to assess which of the host and/or bacteria-related features are associated with LA.</p><p>Methods</p><p>We conducted a retrospective study from January 2009 to July 2013 in a trauma surgical ICU within a teaching hospital. All adult patients presenting with <i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i>-VAP were included. We compared two groups of patients according to the formation or not of LA concomitantly to <i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i>-VAP.</p><p>Results</p><p>Seventy-nine <i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i>-VAP patients, predominantly males (85%) of rather young age (mean [SD]: 35yr [21–64]) with severe trauma (initial Simplified Acute Score II = 42 [32–52]) related-ICU admission, were included. Among them, 10 (14%) developed LA. Patient’s characteristics significantly associated with LA development were: a younger age (p = 0.003), road traffic accidents admission (p = 0.017), head injury (p = 0.002), lower Glasgow Coma Scale (p = 0.009), blunt chest trauma (p = 0.01) pneumothorax (p = 0.01) and lung contusions (p = 0.002). No microbiological factors were significantly associated with LA formation. Abscesses were mostly bilateral, ≥5 cm of diameter and with a posterior location.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>Our results do not favor a specific virulence of <i>S</i>.<i>aureus</i>, but rather highlight the role of multiple insults to the lung, promoting LA formation. Despite a similar severity score, patients with LA had more serious trauma, combining severe both chest and head insults.</p></div

Les ressources minérales profondes en Polynésie française / Deep-sea mineral resources in French Polynesia

La Polynésie française se caractérise par une immense zone économique exclusive, constituant la moitié de la zone maritime française, elle-même deuxième mondiale. Les enjeux de conservation et d’exploitation durable des océans et des ressources marines (objectif 14 de l’agenda onusien du développement durable) y sont considérables. Dans un contexte international marqué par une hausse de la demande en matières premières minérales et une « course à la mer », nouvelle frontière d’expansion territoriale, la question des ressources minérales profondes en Polynésie française suscite aujourd’hui un intérêt accru. L’État et la Polynésie française ont commandé à l’Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) cette expertise collégiale sur les ressources minérales marines profondes en Polynésie française. Cette expertise, réalisée par un collège d’experts pluridisciplinaire (anthropologie, biologie, droit, économie, géographie, géologie, technologie), recense les connaissances actuelles et construit un diagnostic nuancé. Elle aboutit à une série de recommandations utiles aux décideurs politiques en matière de production de connaissances, de développement de technologies et de gouvernance, contribuant ainsi à la définition d’une stratégie de développement d’une filière minière sous-marine respectueuse des enjeux sociaux et environnementaux spécifiques à la Polynésie française.French Polynesia has an enormous exclusive economic zone, half of the vast French maritime area which is the second largest in the world. Substantial issues surround the conservation of the oceans and sustainable exploitation of marine resources (Goal 14 of the UN agenda for sustainable development). In an international context marked by increased demand for mineral commodities and the ‘scramble to the sea’ that defines the new frontiers of territorial expansion, French Polynesia’s deep-sea mineral resources are attracting growing interest. The French government and French Polynesia commissioned the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) to conduct an expert group review on deep-sea mineral resources in French Polynesia. The review, which was carried out by a multidisciplinary panel of experts in anthropology, biology, law, economics, geography, geology and technology, summarises the current state of knowledge and reaches some qualified conclusions. It makes a series of recommendations that will assist policy makers in future efforts to develop knowledge, technologies and governance. The expert group review will help define a development strategy for the deep-sea mining industry that respects environmental and social issues specific to French Polynesia

Consumer Xenocentrism as Determinant of Foreign Product Preference: A System Justification Perspective

Foreign and domestic product purchase behavior largely depends on consumer predispositions. The dominant construct in international marketing literature explaining such behavior has been consumer ethnocentrism, which is conceptually anchored in social identity theory. However, such a perspective overlooks evidence that certain consumers are consistently attracted by the “foreignness” of a product. Drawing from system justification theory, the present investigation conceptualizes and provides an empirical test of the consumer xenocentrism construct that is intended to explain consumer attraction toward foreign products. Using survey data from five complementary studies, the authors develop and validate a new scale (the C-XENSCALE) to measure consumers’ xenocentric tendencies and offer extensive evidence on its ability to explain consumer preferences for foreign products. The authors discuss implications of the findings for theory and managerial practice and identify future research directions
