Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the in vitro detection of strains of Legionella pneumophila, resistant to antibiotics, in particular to the fluoroquinolones. Also disclosed are nucleotide probes and a kit of reagents allowing the detection of Legionella pneumophila bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics, in particular of the fluoroquinolone type.

Abstract: The invention proposes a casing (30) of an aircraft turbine (16), intended to support a set of ring sectors (28) which partly delimits a channel for the passage of a gas stream through the turbine (16), where the casing (30) includes means for dynamic adjustment of the radial position of the ring sectors (28) by controlled injection of an air stream on to portions (36) of an annular wall (34) of the casing (30), where the casing (30) includes an upstream radial tab (38) which connects an upstream end of each ring sector (28), in the flow direction of the gas stream, to the casing (30), and a downstream radial tab (40) which connects a downstream end of each ring sector (28) to the casing (30), where both upstream and downstream radial tabs (38, 40) are made from a single piece with the casing (30), characterized in that each radial tab (38, 40) is made as two portions (42, 44) from different materials.

Abstract: An intermediate casing comprising an inner annular hub, an outer annular barrel and an annular part for separating flows situated between the hub and the outer barrel. A primary stream is delimited between the hub and the separation part. A secondary stream is delimited between the separation part and the outer barrel. At least one hollow arm extends radially from the hub to the outer barrel, passing through the primary and secondary streams. A transmission shaft extends radially in the hollow arm. The hollow arm comprises a hydraulic-fluid outlet situated downstream of the transmission shaft. The arm further comprises a bypass channel or pocket able to bypass the transmission shaft.

Abstract: The present disclosure aims at achieving a mounting of a turbomachine stator blading while avoiding a delicate machining process of the engine casing. It also aims at simplifying the mounting as well as at reducing the costs, and at decreasing the number of item references for the engine. To achieve these objects, the turbomachine uses an extension of the engine casing. A turbomachine comprises at least one stator blading for air or gas stream flowing on the internal engine casing. The stator blading comprises a rim which is assembled on a radial extension of engine casing with an axial fastener. In a preferred embodiment of the turbomachine, the engine casing presents an annular wall provided with fingers originating axially from this wall and extending according to a curvature so that they present a radial extension tip against the rim of the stator blading.

Abstract: The use of classical superantigens for treatment of cancer has resulted in a low response rates and serious toxicity in humans which is attributable, in part, to the presence of preformed superantigen specific antibodies in the plasma of treated patients. The present invention addresses this problem by providing a method for treating tumors comprising the administration of one or a plurality of egc (enterotoxin gene cluster) staphylococcal enterotoxins comprising staphylococcal enterotoxins G, I, M, N, O. These superantigens in native unmodified form can be administered intrathecally, intratumorally, intravenously to humans with advanced lung cancer while resolving pleural effusions and prolonging survival to 300% above control patients treated with talc pleurodesis. Intratumoral egc superantigens induces a significant and sustained reduction of the tumor size.
