Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) as an upper respiratory tract model for respiratory syncytial virus infection by Sophie M. Kolbe, Kate Guilfoyle, Wencke Reineking, Geert van Amerongen, Guido van der Net, Sandra Lockow, Wolfgang Baumgärtner, Martin Ludlow, Albert D.M.E Osterhaus

“…Fluorescent regions indicating virus infection were macroscopically visible under UV-light in the nasal turbinates and histological assessment showed mucosal inflammation with necrotic cells in this tissue. In summary, Syrian hamsters generally displayed less severe systemic and pulmonary changes than ferrets, but do appear to be a promising model for upper respiratory tract infection with RSV.…”

La forêt : un stade comme un autre ? by Romain Lepillé

“…Quelles sont les activités qui se prêtent le plus à la digitalisation et celles qui semblent résister à ces offres ?Cet article propose d’étudier des niveaux et des formes de digitalisation des activités, et d’examiner en particulier ce qui, avec les possibilités de géolocalisation (GPS), affecte ou non la socialisation de la forêt d’une part, la territorialisation des activités d’autre part.Le terrain d’étude est constitué par l’ensemble des massifs forestiers de la Métropole Rouen Normandie.Outre les observations de terrain (N≈150) l’article prend appui sur la méthode mixte qui combinent une enquête quantitative par questionnaire (n=332) ; la collecte de traces numériques (N≈1000) laissées par les pratiquants de loisirs sportifs équipés de dispositifs de traçage et une enquête qualitative par l’intermédiaire d’entretiens semi-directifs (N=10).La première partie de l’article décrit le terrain d’étude, le matériel et les méthodes de recueil employés et distingue deux catégories de pratiquants de loisirs sportifs en forêt en fonction de l’utilisation du numérique. …”

Role of Cerebellum in the Treatment of Dystonia and Application of Cerebellum Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation by WENG Yajing, WU Yi, LIU Gang, CHENG Huilan, XIE Hongyu, TIAN Shan

“…Existing animal studies suggested that the cerebellum affects dystonia through at least three mechanisms: 1) abnormal cerebellar efferent signal patterns; 2) abnormal connections between the cerebellum and basal ganglia nuclei; 3) abnormalities in the shape or structure of cerebellar cells. The specific role of cerebellum in dystonia has been explored from clinical and pathological observations, neuroelectrophysiology and neuroimaging. …”
