Le nivellement des aqueducs de Lyon et leurs aménagements de régulation et de ralentissement : analyse et mise en perspective by Laetitia Borau

“…In addition, a decision had to be made about the type of canal to be built, as this would affect the speed of construction and hence the overall cost of the project, but would also affect ease of maintenance: we can therefore distinguish between the simplest cases –slab-covered concrete canals– and conduits with masonry walls and a vaulted roof through which a maintenance man could walk.The objective here is to put into perspective, on the one hand, the means employed to guarantee a constant slope and to control the flows (regulation and maintenance structures), and on the other hand to overcome the obstacles, particularly the steep slopes (with chutes or dropshafts) and to compare them with other aqueducts in the Roman world, mainly in the western part.The examination of the four conduits demonstrated the small number of regulation and/or decantation structures found across the whole of the Lyon hydraulic network, with three exceptions. …”

Comments on: “Early High-Titer Convalescent Plasma Therapy in Patients with Moderate and Severe COVID-19” [Transfusion and Apheresis Science 61 (2022) 103321] by Seyed Reza Hosseiniara

“…Specifically, 88% of patients experienced cardiac events, and 66% encountered thrombotic events while undergoing convalescent plasma treatment for COVID-19.10 Moreover, some studies reporting positive outcomes associated with convalescent plasma therapy did not utilize this treatment in isolation but rather as an adjunct to standard therapies.11Among studies that employed convalescent plasma therapy alone, Agarwal et al.,12 noted minor improvements in shortness of breath and fatigue; however, the evaluators were not blinded to subject data, which raises concerns about the reliability of their findings. …”
