Système cardiovasculaire et particularités du choc chez les personnes âgées
La prise en charge des sujets âgés (≥ 65 ans) doit tenir compte de deux facteurs: la physiologie du sujet âgé est différente de celle du sujet jeune (notion de vieillissement); le sujet âgé est un sujet souffrant...

Photo- and Biodegradation of Atrazine in the Presence of Soil Constituents
The photo- and biodegradation of atrazine in the presence of several soil constituents, in particular earthworm casts collected from agricultural soils, were investigated. Earthworm casts were found to favour ...

Critical Analysis of Venoarterial CO2 Gradient as a Marker of Tissue Hypoxia
The venoarterial carbon dioxide (CO2) tension (PCO2) gradient (ΔPCO2 ) is the difference between PCO2 in mixed venous blood (PvCO2) and PCO2 in arterial blood (PaCO2): $$ \Delta {\text{PC}}{{\tex...

Dynamics in Information System Design and Management
Our research goal is in information system (IS) design and management (the REMORA project). In the first instance, we were interested in the definition of a model of IS design. This model allows a complete rep...
