Les effets du marketing sur les comportements alimentaires

Abstract: Resume Le marketing alimentaire est accuse d’etre l’un des principaux responsables de l’augmentation de l’obesite mais son role exact sur les comportements alimentaires reste mal connu, surtout par le monde medical. Cet article recense les resultats des etudes publiees dans les revues de marketing, d’economie, de nutrition et de sante publique. Nous examinons le role du prix et des campagnes de communication, mais aussi celui d’actions souvent ignorees telles que le changement des caracteristiques du produit et de l’environnement de consommation. Nous concluons par une discussion de la responsabilite du marketing ainsi que des possibilites qu’il offre pour promouvoir de meilleurs comportements alimentaires.

La Espiral Cave (Cuba): Guano and signs of Plant Substances Used as Paint Ingredients

Abstract: At La Espiral cave, located in Bahia Honda municipality (Artemisa province, Cuba), there are several pictographs, including two of particular importance due to the design used: one of concentric circles and another of a spiral. We analyzed the pigments and binders used in one of these pictographs. The chemical ingredients of the paint are considered in this article, as well as the use of bat guano as a major pigment compound. The apparent presence of ellagic acid, ellagitannin, or anthocyanins would strengthen the hypothesis that artists used vegetable protein as a paint binder or solvent.

Prenatal molecular diagnosis in RASA1-related disease

Abstract: RASA1-related disease is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by capillary malformations, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), and/or arteriovenous fistulas (AFVs). Penetrance is nearly complete and vascular malformations may cause serious complications such as organ injury due to oxygenation disorder, brain abscess, hemorrhage, and stroke. Early diagnosis is useful in order to discuss optimal management, including AVMs/AVFs embolization or surgical procedures, and try to prevent some of the complications. In this context, molecular testing of RASA1 gene mutation in relatives may help to better manage the family. All arteriovenous malformations are however not accessible to such procedures. In addition, these therapeutic procedures may result in potential side effects and complications. A couple was referred to our genetics unit and asked us for prenatal genetic testing about a RASA1 mutation. Here, we discuss about arguments that led our team to accept prenatal testing. To the best of our knowledge, no molecular prenatal diagnosis was reported until now in RASA1-related diseases. This first report of prenatal diagnosis in RASA1-related diseases may also offer perspectives for a more general discussion in the field of inherited arteriovenous malformations.
