Plasma omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and macular pigment optical density in subjects at high risk for age-related macular degeneration: the Lim…
2016
This is an abstract that was submitted for the 2016 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Seattle, Wash., May 1-5, 2016.; Purpose: In numerous epidemiological studies, omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been associated with a decreased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Beyond their structural, functional and neuroprotective roles, omega 3 PUFAs may favor the retinal accumulation of lutein and zeaxanthin and thus increase macular pigment optical density (MPOD). We examined the associations of MPOD with plasma omega 3 PUFAs in subjects with at least one parent affected by neovascular AMD. Methods: The Limpia study is a double-blind, placebo controlled, prospective randomize…

Ether-lipid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels in erythrocytes of patients with glaucoma
2008
International audience; Purpose: : Neuronal tissues such as the brain and the retina are known to contain elevated amounts of phospholipids with a vinyl-ether double bond (ether-lipids or plasmalogens) as well as high concentrations of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid or DHA). Abnormal blood levels of ether-lipids and DHA have been associated with several neurological disorders such as Alzheimer Disease. Since many observations bring up the idea of pathogenetic similarities between Alzheimer Disease and glaucoma, the aim of our work was to check whether ether-lipid and DHA levels were modified in glaucoma patients. Methods: : Blood samples were collected …
Effect of intravitreal injection of Indocyanine Green, Triamcinolone Acetonide and Trypan Blue on the electroretinographic response of rats
2007
International audience; Purpose:: Indocyanine Green (ICG) and Tripan Blue (TB) are commonly used in macular surgery by making easier the internal limiting membrane (ILM) removing. However, the innocuousness of these dyes is not actually established notably for ICG. Then, several authors proposed the use of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) as an alternative to the use of intraoperative dyes for visualizing the ILM. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of intravitreal injection of ICG, TB and TA on the rat electroretinogram (ERG). Methods:: Three groups of 12-week-old Sprague Dawley rats (n=6) received intravitreal injection in one eye of 0.1mL of either ICG 0.5mg/mL, TB 3mg/mL o…
Effect of Healthcare worker's professional representation of hygiene on hand hygiene practices
2018
International audience; Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAI) significantly affect patients, prolong hospital stays and present a major challenge for the quality of patient care. In France, around 4,500 individuals die every year from an HAI (Government Statistics, 2010). Hand hygiene studies focusing on beliefs and practices may
Tungsten oxide thin films sputter deposited by the reactive gas pulsing process for the dodecane detection
2015
International audience; The DC reactive magnetron sputtering of a metallic tungsten target was performed in an argon + oxygen atmosphere for depositing tungsten oxide thin films. In order to control the oxygen concentration in the films, the reactive gas pulsing process, namely RGPP, was implemented. Rectangular pulses were used with a constant pulsing period T = 16 s whereas the duty cycle α (time of oxygen injection to pulsing period T ratio) was systematically changed from 0 to 100% of T. This pulsing injection of the reactive gas allowed a gradual evolution of the films composition from pure metallic to over-stoichiometric WO3+ɛ’ compounds. These WOx films were sputter deposited on comm…
Holes Interaction Effects under high and medium Sound Intensities for Micro-perforated panels design
2010
International audience; Most models for predicting the acoustic response of perforated panels are based on the assumption that there are no interactions between the holes. This paper investigates the Hole Interaction Effect (HIE) and distribution effect on the sound absorption coefficient of perforated panels when submitted to medium and high sound pressure levels. It is experimentally demonstrated that though the HIE is mostly an added mass effect, the nonlinear resistance parameters depend on the separation distance between the apertures. Analysis of the data reveals the fact that even with HIE, the nonlinear reactance dependency with velocity is very low compared to the resistance-veloci…
