Capillary malformation s affect 0.3 to 0.5% of newborn and pulsed dye laser is considered as the treatment of choice. The aim of this study is to characterize the malfonnation s that will better respond to the treatment in order to improve the management of such patients.Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of patient's data treated at the cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, université catholique de Louvain, between 2001 and 2014. The factors considered are the patient's age during initial treatment, the gender, location, presence of an hyper-or-hypotrophy, the number of sessions and the efficacy of the treatment. Clinical photograph s done before and after laser therapy, analysed by 2 independent persons, were used to evaluate the treatment's efficacy.Results: 88 out of the 126 selected patients were treated. No data was collected on hypotrophy as none of those patients desired to be treated. The well-responding lesions were associated to patients 1 year old or Jess, 10 years old or more and localised on the face or the upper limbs. However, children 1 year old or less needed an increased number of sessions. The lesions associated to hypertrophy or on peripheral locations (such as the foot) needed more sessions and had worse overall responses. For a similar number of sessions, males had a better response to laser therapy. This last resu lt needs confirmation fromfuture publications.Conclusion: Localisation, sex, association to a hypertrophy , age and the clinical response after around 10 sessions are factors influencing the response of port wine stain to laser therapy. Les malformations capillaires [MC] affectent 0.3 à 0.5% des nouveau-nés et le laser à colorant pulsé [LCP] est accepté comme étant leur traitement de choix. L'objectif de cette étude est de caractériser les MC répondant au traitement dans le but d'améliorer la prise en charge de ces patients.Méthode : Il s'agit d 'une étude rétrospective des patients traités aux Cliniques Universitaires Saint­ Luc entre 2001 et 2014. Les données prises en compte pour chaque patient comprennent l'âge lors du premier traitement, le sexe, la localisation de la MC, la présence d'une hypertrophie ou d'une hypotrophie, le nombre de séances effectuées ainsi que l 'efficacité du traitement. Une revue des photos avant et après traitement, par deux personnes indépendantes, a permis d'évaluer l'efficacité des séances de laser.Résultats : Sur 126 patients sélectionnés 88 ont été traités. Aucun patient présentant une hypotrophie n'a été traité. Les lésions répondant le mieux au traitement étaient situées sur le visage, les membres supérieurs et chez des patients âgés de 1 an ou moins et de 10 ans ou plus. Cependant il est à noter que les patients âgés de 1 an ou moins ont nécessité un nombre supérieur de séances. Les localisations périphérique s (tel que le pied) ainsi que les lésions hypertrophiques ont nécessité plus de séances et ont globalement moins bien répondu au laser. Pour un nombre de séances semblable, le traitement fut plus efficace chez les hommes. Cette dernière donnée devra être confirmée par des publications futures.Conclusion : La localisation, le sexe, la présence d'une hypertrophie , l'âge et l'amélioration clinique après une dizaine de séances sont des facteurs influençant l'efficacité du traitement par LCP.

"Introduction to Plant Pathology provides comprehensive coverage of plant disease for plant science, plant pathology, biology, forestry and agriculture students. This invaluable resource introduces the eleven types of organism that cause disease, ranging from higher plants to viroids and describes examples of cash and staple crop diseases that have caused human catastrophes. Other chapters cover serological and molecular techniques for the diagnosis of plant pathogens, epidemiology, methods for estimating disease severity and its effect on crop yields and techniques for limiting inoculum." "Later chapters are concerned with colonisation of the plant and symptom development and the underlying biochemical and genetic factors that control these events. Finally, the control of plant disease using a variety of techniques including "genetic modification" is discussed."--Jacket.

Once an uncommon clinical finding, the Chiari malformations are now frequently seen with the advent of more sophisticated imaging modalities. With more than one hundred years of experience with these entities, medicine currently has a much better understanding of the embryology and pathophysiology of the disorder. Long-term outcome studies are becoming more prevalent and patients are commonly operated on with generally favorable results. Comprehensive in design,  the The Chiari Malformations focuses on the two most common forms of hindbrain herniation, the Chiari I and II malformations.  Since the original description and classification of hindbrain hernias more than one hundred and twenty years ago, the Chiari malformations have revealed much of their pathophysiology and have become easily diagnosed radiologically.  Indeed with the availability of MRI, more and more patients are being labeled with the diagnosis but without symptoms or appropriate symptoms.  Timely and an invaluable addition to the literature, The Chiari Malformations thoroughly details the progress that has been made with our understanding of these conditions, their radiologic definition, details of operative intervention and prediction of outcome.
