COVID-19 Vaccination in Pregnancy, Paediatrics, Immunocompromised Patients, and Persons with History of Allergy or Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Overvi…
2021
To date, four vaccines have been authorised for emergency use and under conditional approval by the European Medicines Agency to prevent COVID-19: Comirnaty, COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen, Spikevax (previously COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna) and Vaxzevria (previously COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca). Although the benefit–risk profile of these vaccines was proven to be largely favourable in the general population, evidence in special cohorts initially excluded from the pivotal trials, such as pregnant and breastfeeding women, children/adolescents, immunocompromised people and persons with a history of allergy or previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, is still limited. In this narrative review, we critically overv…
Comunità resilienti e auto sostenibili. Le politiche urbane dell’agroalimentare in Andalusia
2014
Negli ultimi anni si sono moltiplicati i dibattiti riguardanti la sovranità alimentare. Il sistema agroalimentare, complessa struttura di relazioni ecologiche, sociali ed economiche, ricopre, infatti, un ruolo importante sia per quanto riguarda la forma del territorio, sia per il sostentamento della popolazione. In Andalusia, la maggiore area agricola produttiva spagnola ed europea, si stanno plasmando differenti realtà per lo sviluppo di un sistema agroalimentare alternativo a quello industriale. Questo nuovo sistema, che in questa Comunidad conta già 43 esperienze supportate da produttori, cittadini, amministrazioni e entità scientifiche, oltre ad essere rispettoso dell’ambiente, è capace…
Within-visit BP variability, cardiovascular risk factors, and BP control in central and eastern Europe: findings from the BP-CARE study.
2015
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Blood pressure variability (BPV) within 24 h or between visits has been found to represent an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The present study was aimed at determining whether a clinical significance can be given also to the BP variations occurring within a single clinical visit. METHODS BPV was quantified as coefficient of variation and as standard deviation (SD) of the mean of three systolic SBP values within a visit in the context of a large-cross subclinical survey (BP-CARE) of treated hypertensive patients living in Eastern European countries. The study population was divided into coefficient of variation and SD quartiles and for each qua…

The earliest tupilakosaurid amphibian with diplospondylous vertebrae from the Late Permian of southern France
2007
5 pages; International audience; A well-preserved vertebral column from the Late Permian of Southern France (Lopingian, La Lieude Formation, Lodève Basin) is described. It is composed of diplospondylous vertebrae and is most comparable with the temnospondyl Tupilakosaurus previously known from the Early Triassic of Greenland and Russia. This new specimen therefore represents the earliest occurrence of a diplospondylous tupilakosaur, and extends the geographic range of the group to Western Europe. It is an aquatic temnospondyl that used the anguilliform undulatory mode of swimming.
Twitter en campagne politique : un exemple d’objet pour une étude interdisciplinaire en Humanités Numériques
2017
National audience; A partir de l’expérience du projet « Twitter aux Elections Européennes 2014 » développé, avec des partenaires dans 5 pays, à la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme de Dijon, la communication se concentrera sur les questions méthodologiques d’appréhension et d’exploitation d’un corpus numérique natif issu du dispositif de micro-blogging Twitter. Une attention particulière sera ainsi accordée aux opérateurs du dispositif (@, #, RT, http://) et ce qu’ils peuvent signifier en termes d’interaction médiée par ordinateur. On montrera dans quelle mesure ils rendent nécessaire une redéfinition de catégories de base en analyse du discours (qu’elle soit strictement linguistique ou davant…
RESISTANCE AND TOLERANCE IN A HOST PLANT–HOLOPARASITIC PLANT INTERACTION: GENETIC VARIATION AND COSTS
2002
Host organisms are believed to evolve defense mechanisms (i.e., resistance and/or tolerance) under selective pressures exerted by natural enemies. A prerequisite for the evolution of resistance and tolerance is the existence of genetic variation in these traits for natural selection to act. However, selection for resistance and/or tolerance may be constrained by negative genetic correlations with other traits that affect host fitness. We studied genetic variation in resistance and tolerance against parasitic infection and the potential fitness costs associated with these traits using a novel study system, namely the interaction between a flowering plant and a parasitic plant. In this system…
Relatedness affects competitive performance of a parasitic plant (Cuscuta europaea) in multiple infections.
2004
Theoretical models predict that parasite relatedness affects the outcome of competition between parasites, and the evolution of parasite virulence. We examined whether parasite relatedness affects competition between parasitic plants (Cuscuta europaea) that share common host plants (Urtica dioica). We infected hosts with two parasitic plants that were either half-siblings or nonrelated. Relative size asymmetry between the competing parasites was significantly higher in the nonrelated infections compared to infections with siblings. This higher asymmetry was caused by the fact that the performance of some parasite genotypes decreased and that of others increased when grown in multiple infect…
