Abstract
Of all the gestational trophoblastic tumors, the gestational choriocarcinomas have the worst prognosis and the most uncommon. We report a case diagnosed on a full-term placenta, discovered incidentally. The patient, gravida 2, para 1, delivered a hypotrophic infant at 38 weeks gestation. The placenta was examined in the laboratory to perform anatomo-pathological examination in order to explain the growth retardation. This study revealed the presence of an intraplacental choriocarcinoma. Disease staging was negative for both mother and child, and beta-HCG levels remained at zero. These two factors are rather good prognosis for choriocarcinoma. With this observation, we highlight the added-value of placental examination, which seems essential for any fetal pathology, pathological pregnancy and intrapartum complications. Anatomo-pathological examination must be meticulous and systematized in order to not overlook an intraplacental tumor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An outbreak of shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli infections occurred in southwest France in June 2012. The outbreak was investigated to identify the source of infection, and guide control measures. METHODS Confirmed outbreak cases were patients who developed bloody diarrhoea or haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) between 28 May and 6 July 2012, with E. coli O157 isolates showing indistinguishable patterns on pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). A standardized questionnaire was administered to patients to document food consumption and other risk exposures. Their purchase was checked through their supermarket shopper card data. RESULTS Six patients (four with HUS and two with bloody diarrhea) were confirmed outbreak cases. Fresh ground beef burgers from one supermarket were the only common food exposure, identified by interviews and shopper card data. The PFGE profile of shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157 isolated from the suspected beef burgers was identical to those from the human cases. The suspected beef burgers were no longer on sale at the time of investigation but three patients confirmed as outbreak cases had deep-frozen some at home. CONCLUSION Shopper card data was particularly useful to obtain precise and reliable information on the traceability of consumed food. Despite the expired use-by date, a recall was issued for the beef burgers. This contributed to preventing other cases among consumers who had deep-frozen the beef burgers.

Abstract
In water, chlorine reacts with nitrogen-containing compounds to produce disinfection byproducts such as nitrogen trichloride which induces ocular and respiratory irritations in swimming pool workers. A technical solution has been used to reduce NCl3 exposure to acceptable levels, by adding a stripping step to the water recycling loop. The pollutants extracted are currently rejected into the atmosphere without treatment. However, the physical properties of NCl3 could be harnessed to induce its controlled degradation by direct or indirect light. This paper describes the way to transform NCl3 into oxidizing chlorine by photocatalysis under laboratory conditions. Photocatalytic oxidation efficiently degrades gaseous nitrogen trichloride, producing compounds such as HClO. About 60% of NCl3 decomposed was converted into HClO which could be used as a disinfection compound. A kinetic model is proposed for the photocatalytic process based on a convection/diffusion model. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood model was applied to the chemical part of the mechanism. The apparent quantum yield was also estimated to assess the optimal irradiance for NCl3 transformation. The results show that photocatalysis performs much better than photolysis alone for NCl3 removal, i.e. at least 25 times more efficient.

Abstract
The inflammasome is an innate immune signaling platform leading to caspase-1 activation, maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cell death. Recognition of DNA within the host cytosol induces the formation of a large complex composed of the AIM2 receptor, the ASC adaptor and the caspase-1 effector. Francisella tularensis, the agent of tularemia, replicates within the host cytosol. The macrophage cytosolic surveillance system detects Francisella through the AIM2 inflammasome. Upon Francisella novicida infection, we observed a faster kinetics of AIM2 speck formation in ASCKO and Casp1KO as compared to WT macrophages. This observation was validated by a biochemical approach thus demonstrating for the first time the existence of a negative feedback loop controlled by ASC/caspase-1 that regulates AIM2 complex formation/stability. This regulatory mechanism acted before pyroptosis and required caspase-1 catalytic activity. Our data suggest that sublytic caspase-1 activity could delay the formation of stable AIM2 speck, an inflammasome complex associated with cell death.

Abstract
A case of human brucellosis was diagnosed in France in January 2012. The investigation demonstrated that the case had been contaminated by raw milk cheese from a neighbouring dairy farm. As France has been officially free of bovine brucellosis since 2005, veterinary investigations are being conducted to determine the origin of the infection and avoid its spread among other herds. Hypotheses about the source of this infection are discussed.

Abstract
Health related quality of life (HRQoL) and the effect of selected socio-demographic and clinical intensive care variables on HRQoL of patients 12 months following adult surgical intensive care unit discharge in the Western Cape was evaluated. A prospective observational study was conducted. The sample comprised 46 patients who had survived 12 months following discharge. Structured telephonic interviews were conducted using a self-developed and SF-36v2 HRQoL questionnaire. Data was analyzed using Stastica 7 and values were accepted as significant at the 5% level. Low mean HRQoL domain scores (43% - 53%) were found implying a poor HRQoL outcome. Physical functioning [43.5%], Role Play [44.5%] and Role Emotion [43.1%] scores were specifically lower than the other HRQoL domain scores. Age and severity of illness scores (APACHE II) were significantly associated with the social functioning (p=0.01) and physical functioning (p=0.02) scores respectively. APACHE II may be a useful contributor in predicting long-term physical functioning outcomes in patients following surgical ICU discharge. The HRQoL outcomes are slightly lower than that found for inter-national ICU populations however responses in the domains affected are comparable. Low physical functioning, role play and role emotion scores indicate a need for further physical and emotional rehabilitation following surgical ICU discharge.

Abstract
Nanotechnologies are an important set of new technologies no longer at a very early stage in their development. The financial support for R&D in this domain is greater than a few Giga Euros/year for innovation and considerably lower (less than 1-2%) for risk management. At the factory level, As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) methods have to be used in order to protect workers against possible exposure. New "short-term" toxicological studies show that nano-particles are seldom exempt of effects in humans... Thus, for the general population, more and more anxious about the future, nanotechnologies are the object of numerous debates. Ultimately, the population is asking governmental bodies to take the required preventive measures. Social pressure is now initiated by the public towards innovative industries, which have to prove, before the marketing stage, the absence of any risk for the users and demonstrate a safety driven governance.
