Faust, père et fils : savoirs et tragique, savants et satire ? by Gérard Laudin

“…D’autre part, les représentations de Faust père et fils combinent des éléments tragiques et satiriques, mais s’écartent, tout comme celle du famulus, des traditions satiriques associées aux médecins et savants qu’on trouve par exemple chez Molière ou Hans Sachs, chez Mencke (De charletaneria eruditorum, 1715) ou chez Faßmann (Der Gelehrte Narr, 1729). …”

Fine needle aspirative cytology in the diagnosis of parotid gland neoplasms by Yanet García Fonte, Kenia Betancourt Gamboa, Miriela Betancourt Valladares, Dianelys Busquets Carballo

“…The changes that determined positivity varied according to histological type and tumor malignancy grade, and in 100% an increase in the number of cells was observed. Conclusions: Fine needle aspiration cytology allows us to characterize parotid gland conditions and establish prompt treatment by distinguishing negative and positive lesions.…”

Localisation of Abundant and Organ-Specific Genes Expressed in Rosa hybrida Leaves and Flower Buds by Direct In Situ RT-PCR by Agata Jedrzejuk, Heiko Mibus, Margrethe Serek

“…In situ PCR is a technique that allows specific nucleic acid sequences to be detected in individual cells and tissues. In situ PCR and IS-RT-PCR are elegant techniques that can increase both sensitivity and throughput, but they are, at best, only semiquantitative; therefore, it is desirable first to ascertain the expression pattern by conventional means to establish the suitable conditions for each probe. …”
