Abstract: Composition containing a microorganism, preferably an Archaea, expressing a TMA methyltransferase and a TMA methyl group acceptor corrinoid protein, capable of metabolizing trimethylamine (TMA) in the presence of hydrogen in a human cavity, such as the intestine or the vagina, for use as a medicament for treating, reducing or eliminating TMA at the level of the human cavity. In addition, a composition containing a TMA methyltransferase and a TMA methyl group acceptor corrinoid protein. These compositions are of use for treating trimethylaminuria, for treating vaginal fluids in the case of bacterial vaginosis and for reducing or eliminating odours due to TMA. These compositions are also of use for reducing the level of plasma TMAO, for preventing the formation of atheroma plaques and/or for preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract: This method of calibration comprising the reconstruction of a 3D mapping of 3D landmarks of an environment on the basis of digital images of the environment captured by the computer-based vision system (10) during the movement of the craft (2) along a trajectory. It comprises the optimization of at least one 3D mapping corresponding to a first sequence of images by considering at least one extrinsic parameter and/or at least one intrinsic parameter and/or at least one parameter of poses and/or one parameter of 3D landmarks as constant and the optimization of at least one 3D mapping corresponding to a second sequence of images, longer than the first image sequence and including the first image sequence, by considering said at least one extrinsic parameter and/or said at least one intrinsic parameter and/or said at least one parameter of poses and/or said at least one parameter of 3D landmarks as variable so as to estimate it.

Abstract: This invention relates to riluzole for use in the treatment or prevention of adverse effects associated with the administration of anticancer agents having neurotoxic effects, such as, for example, platinum salts, taxanes and periwinkle alkaloids.

Abstract: The present invention relates to treating and preventing pain. More particularly the present invention demonstrates the involvement of K2P potassium channels in the antalgic effect of morphine. The present invention therefore provides a screening method for identifying antalgics.

Abstract: An antagonist of the interaction between the Gp96 receptor and E. coli AIEC strains, for the prevention or treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The antagonist is for specifically blocking or reducing the interaction between Gp96 receptor and the outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), typically the outer protein membrane OmpA of E. coli AIEC strains. The inventions provides for pharmaceutical compositions containing such an antagonist, which may be an antibody against gp96 or OmpA, or a gp96 or OmpA polypeptide. It may be combined to an antagonist of the interaction between the CEACAM6 receptor and E. coli AIEC strains, such as an anti-CEACAM6 antibody, a CEACAM6 polypeptide, or a mannoside or particle having a mannose unit. The invention also relates to a method for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, or of the determination of a predisposition of a person to develop inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to biomarkers allowing predicting breast tumor and solid tumor outcome using hypoxia related genes. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for predicting the survival of a patient suffering from cancer, said method comprising the steps of (a) measuring the expression of at least five genes selected from the group consisting of GLUT1, PGK1, LDHA, ENO1, CAIX, NHERF1, TPI, AMF/GPI, VEGFA, TGFB3, ENG, LEP, EDN1, MDR1, AK3, MXR1, TGM2, CDH1, MMP2, CK1 9, VIM, CXCR4, UPAR, CATHD, CTGF, C0X2, MET, IGF-2, CCND1, EPO, NDRG1, BNIP3, NIX, ETS1, PHD2, TWIST1, DEC1, SNAH, CEBPA, CITED2, F0X03A, NUR77, BRCA1, PTEN, VHL and ERBB2 in a biological sample of said patient, and (b) analyzing the expression values to generate a risk score of relapse, wherein a risk score superior or equal to three is indicative of high risk of relapse and a risk score inferior or equal to two is indicative of a low risk of relapse.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for simulating the stomach of a monogastric mammal or of a human being that includes at least two compression chambers (C2, C3) connected together by an intermediate chamber. Each compression chamber (C2, C3) includes a piston (72, 73) adapted for urging the content of a compression chamber (C2, C3) towards the other compression chamber (C2, C3). The device includes means (20) capable of generating turbulent flow of the device content when passing through the intermediate chamber (C8). The intermediate chamber (C8) is formed in an intermediate block (8) provided with an access means (11a, 12, 16) for supplying products (12) and/or tapping the content of the device at any moment of the operation cycle thereof.
