Stratégies de manipulation d'outil chez les humains et les bonobos by Ameline Bardo, Anthony Borel, Helene Meunier, Mathilde Lemaire, Emeline Lempereur, Jean Pascal Guery, Emmanuelle Pouydebat

“…L'utilisation des deux mains chez les humains pourrait s'expliquer par une saisie plus stable et puissante de l'outil pendant que l'utilisation de deux outils chez les adultes, plus complexe sur le plan de la coordination, pourrait apporter à certains individus une optimisation du trajet de la noix par dissociation des actions de la main droite versus de la main gauche (pousser vs contrôler). …”

Nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTAPP) effectively eliminates skin tumors in a mouse model of UV-induced carcinogenesis with a short-term treatment regimen by Szabolcs Bozsányi, Ruby Acquah, Rhea Carmel Glen Rodrigues, Erin C. Tracy, Sean P. Murphy, Gregory Fridman, Wendy J. Huss, Peter C. Friedman, Gyorgy Paragh

“…Of the 31 treated tumors, 23 completely disappeared; in contrast, only six non-treated internal control tumors disappeared (p = 0.0139, two-sided chi-square test). Simultaneously, optically guided HFUS revealed a significant decrease in tumor thickness in treated areas (paired t-test, p = 0.0006), with no significant changes observed in the internal control tumors (paired t-test, p = 0.5555). …”
