Abstract: A method of achieving contraception in a woman which comprises administering orally to said woman an estroprogestative composition comprising nomegestrol acetate and an estrogen is provided.

Abstract: A process for the milling of a nuclear graphite contaminated with radioelements includes subjecting the graphite, immersed in a liquid medium, to high-voltage pulses. The liquid medium has a resistivity such that, owing to the effect of the energy conveyed by the said pulses, electric arcs are initiated and, upon contact with the graphite, break the carbon-carbon bonds that make up the graphite. The number of high-voltage pulses is set so as to obtain a given particle size.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of a nuclear graphite contaminated with radioelements includes subjecting the graphite, immersed in a medium containing water, to high-voltage pulses. The pulses have sufficient energy for electric arcs to be initiated and to break the constituent bonds of the water molecules and the carbon-carbon bonds of the graphite. The number of high-voltage pulses is determined so as to convert the graphite into gas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the area of chemotherapy and more especially to the development of new galenic forms for application to the skin. It relates more particularly to a topical hormonal composition with systemic action for the correction of progesterone deficiency in premenopausal women and for hormone replacement in menopausal women, characterized in that it contains, as the active principle, a progestogen derived from 19-nor progesterone, a vehicle permitting systemic passage of the said active principle chosen from the group comprising a solubilizing agent, an absorption promoter, a film-forming agent, a gelling agent or their mixtures, combined with or mixed with suitable excipients for production of a pharmaceutical form as a gel and/or a film.

Abstract: A bicycle including an impact detection device and a monitoring central processing unit connected to said impact detection device.

Abstract: A method of achieving contraception in a woman which comprises administering orally to said woman an estroprogestative composition comprising nomegestrol acetate and an estrogen is provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutic chemistry and more especially to the realization of new galenic forms intended to be applied on the skin. More particularly it relates to a topical hormonal composition with a systemic effect for the hormonal treatment of the perimenopause and of the menopause as well as for the treatment of the ovarian hormonal deficiencies in women with amenorrhea, characterized in that it comprises, as active ingredients, a progestogen derived from 19-nor progesterone and estradiol or one of its derivatives, a vehicle which allows the systemic passage of said active ingredients, chosen from the group constituted by a solubilizing agent, an absorption promoting agent, a film-forming agent, a gelling agent and their mixtures, in combination or in a mixture with suitable excipients for the realization of a gelled and/or film-forming pharmaceutical form.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of chemistry and more particularly to that of therapeutic chemistry. The invention relates more particularly to novel contraceptive compositions formed from a progestative agent and an oestrogen. The invention relates specifically to novel pharmaceutical contraceptive compositions, characterized in that they contain, as active ingredients, a nomegestrol ester and oestradiol, in combination or admixture with an inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable vehicle or diluent which is suitable for oral administration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the treatment of a nuclear graphite contaminated with radioelements, the said process comprising a milling step consisting in subjecting the said graphite, immersed in a liquid medium, to high-voltage pulses, the said liquid medium having a resistivity such that, owing to the effect of the energy conveyed by the said pulses, electric arcs are initiated and, upon contact with the said graphite, break the carbon-carbon bonds that make up this graphite, the number of high-voltage pulses being set so as to obtain a given particle size.

Abstract: A method of treating estrogenic deficiencies in women while further avoiding the appearance of osteoporosis, withdrawal bleeding and cardiovascular diseases in post-menopausal women without any androgenic effect, and no deleterious effects on blood vessels comprising continuously without interruption administering to said women, a combination of 0.5 to 3 mg of an estrogenic compound and 1.5 to 3.75 mg of nomegestrol acetate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of achieving contraception in a woman, comprising daily administering to said woman, from the first day of her cycle, a pharmaceutical composition comprising (i) estradiol, an ester thereof or an equine conjugated estrogen and (ii) nomegestrol acetate.

Abstract: The focal distance (f) of a laser (1) beam (2) is adjusted by projecting the beam (2) onto the center of a mirror (3) of variable curvature and controlled by a depression circuit or by electrostatic forces. Thus the focus (4) can be displaced in a direction which is inaccessible to the usual means such as turning but rigid mirrors.
