Effect of immobilization on the EEG of the baboon. Comparison with telemetry results from unrestricted animals

The EEG of the baboon was studied under two very different sets of conditions: 37 were totally immobolized while 12 were studied in their free movements with 4 channel telemetry. For the immobilzed, 3 stages were described: (1) activation, record desynchronized; (2) rest with 13-15 cm/sec rhythm, like the human alpha rhythm stage but with eyes open or closed; (3)relaxation with a decrease in 13-15 rhythm and the appearance of 5-7 cm/sec theta waves, eyelids closed, animal apparently sleeping. For the free animals the rest stage appeared when the animal's attention was not directed anywhere and there was no relaxation stage. It is concluded that the EEG pattern of the immobilized animal that was described as the "relaxation" stage really represents a special functional state which one must distinguish clearly from the physiological stages of sleep

Einfluss der Fütterung auf die Milchfettzusammensetzung: Naturwiesenfutter im Vergleich zu Kunstwiesenfutter

A trial was carried out to investigate the influence of forage from temporary or from permanent grassland as well as permanent grassland supplemented with maize silage on the milk fat composition. The trial lasted seven weeks: two weeks of adaptation period and five weeks of experimental period. The forage was offered ad libitum in the stable. None of the cows received concentrates, only a mineral supplement was added. Both feed intake as well as milk production were recorded daily. Before the trial and three times during the trial milk samples were taken and in addition to the fat, protein and lactose content different fatty acids in the milk fat were analysed. The variant with the forage from the permanent grassland had, in comparison with the forage from the temporary grassland, higher proportions of unsaturated fatty acids and higher contents of omega-3 and of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). With increasing age of the forage, the contents of omega-3 and CLA decreased. The addition of maize silage had a stronger influence on these fatty acids, as the lowest amounts of omega- 3 and CLA were found

Comparison of acute non-visual bright light responses in patients with optic nerve disease, glaucoma and healthy controls.

This study examined the effect of optic nerve disease, hence retinal ganglion cell loss, on non-visual functions related to melanopsin signalling. Test subjects were patients with bilateral visual loss and optic atrophy from either hereditary optic neuropathy (n = 11) or glaucoma (n = 11). We measured melatonin suppression, subjective sleepiness and cognitive functions in response to bright light exposure in the evening. We also quantified the post-illumination pupil response to a blue light stimulus. All results were compared to age-matched controls (n = 22). Both groups of patients showed similar melatonin suppression when compared to their controls. Greater melatonin suppression was intra-individually correlated to larger post-illumination pupil response in patients and controls. Only the glaucoma patients demonstrated a relative attenuation of their pupil response. In addition, they were sleepier with slower reaction times during nocturnal light exposure. In conclusion, glaucomatous, but not hereditary, optic neuropathy is associated with reduced acute light effects. At mild to moderate stages of disease, this is detected only in the pupil function and not in responses conveyed via the retinohypothalamic tract such as melatonin suppression

Recent observation of Neomida haemorrhoidalis (Fabricius) in Isère (Rhône-Alpes region, France) (Coleoptera Tenebrionidae) Neomida haemorrhoidalis (Fabricius, 1787) has been collected in the Isère department in limit of the Ain department. Probably this insect has not been observed in Rhône-Alpes region since the middle of the XIXth century.Le Ténébrionide Neomida haemorrhoidalis Fabricius, 1787 a été récolté en Isère à la limite départementale avec l'Ain. Il semblerait que l'insecte n'ait pas été trouvé dans la région Rhône-Alpes depuis la première moitié du XIXe siècle.Collomb Gérard, Ollagnon Jean-Louis, Dalmon Jacques.

Talaria: Continuous Drag & Drop on a Wall Display

International audienceWe present an interaction technique combining tactile actions and Midair pointing to access out-of-reach content on large displays without the need to walk across the display. Users can start through a Touch gesture on the display surface and finish Midair by pointing to push content away or inversely to retrieve a content. The technique takes advantage of wellknown semantics of pointing in human-to-human interaction.These, coupled with the semantics of proximal relations and deictic proxemics make the proposed technique very powerful as it leverages on well-understood human-human interaction modalities. Experimental results show this technique to outperform direct tactile interaction on dragging tasks. From our experience we derive four guidelines for interaction with large-scale displays

MRI/TRUS data fusion for brachytherapy

BACKGROUND: Prostate brachytherapy consists in placing radioactive seeds for tumour destruction under transrectal ultrasound imaging (TRUS) control. It requires prostate delineation from the images for dose planning. Because ultrasound imaging is patient- and operator-dependent, we have proposed to fuse MRI data to TRUS data to make image processing more reliable. The technical accuracy of this approach has already been evaluated. METHODS: We present work in progress concerning the evaluation of the approach from the dosimetry viewpoint. The objective is to determine what impact this system may have on the treatment of the patient. Dose planning is performed from initial TRUS prostate contours and evaluated on contours modified by data fusion. RESULTS: For the eight patients included, we demonstrate that TRUS prostate volume is most often underestimated and that dose is overestimated in a correlated way. However, dose constraints are still verified for those eight patients. CONCLUSIONS: This confirms our initial hypothesis
