Abstract: Methods and systems of the present invention generally relate to questionnaires and diagnostic algorithms. Features and principles of the present invention may include a method of generating a diagnostic algorithm. The method may involve receiving information reflecting a plurality of individuals' answers to questions, performing an analysis on the received information to generate a synthetic variable, and generating a diagnostic algorithm from at least the synthetic variable using a tree segmentation technique.

Abstract: The invention relates to the nontherapeutic cosmetic use of at least one cannabinoid compound chosen from the compounds corresponding to general formula (I): and also the geometric isomers and optical isomers thereof, the cosmetically acceptable acid or base salts thereof, and the hydrates thereof; in which compounds of formula (I): R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-C30 alkyl group; it being possible for said alkyl group to be optionally substituted with a hydroxyl (OH) group; R2 represents a halogen atom or a group chosen from hydroxyl, thiol (SH), and amino optionally substituted with one or two C1-C6 alkyl groups; R3 and R4 form, together with the carbon atom which bears them, an oxo group or else R3 and R4 represent a hydrogen atom; R5 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group; X represents a heteroatom chosen from oxygen and sulfur atoms and the divalent group —N(R6)—, with R6 representing a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group; represents a single or double bond; n is 1, 2 or 3, prefe

Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological topical composition, of particular use for the preventional and/or treatment of sensitive and/or dry skin, comprising an effective amount of at least one particularly probiotic microorganism and/or a fraction or metabolite thereof in combination with an effective amount of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid and/or polyunsaturated fatty acid ester and/or a salt or derivative thereof in a physiologically-acceptable vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to new non-therapeutic methods allowing the level of skin neurosensitivity and/or the state of neurosensorial skin reactivity of an individual to be evaluated by applying a peripheral nervous system stimulant to one skin area, the method being implemented under conditions of safety and comfort acceptable for the user, irrespective of his or her skin type.

Abstract: Compositions for preventing and/or treating sensitive and/or dry skin include at least an effective amount of at least one agent and at least an effective amount of at least one divalent inorganic cation, wherein the at least one agent includes at least one member selected from the group consisting of at least one microorganism, a fraction of the at least one microorganism and a metabolite of the at least one microorganism. Methods for preparing such compositions and cosmetic treatment methods employing such compositions are also provided.

Abstract: An evaluation or diagnostic kit includes a plurality of applicators containing test substances of various kinds. Each applicator can include a tube, a plug inside the tube, and at least one test substance inside the tube. The plug can be arranged, in use, to be expelled together with the substance when the substance leaves the inside space of the tube. A diagnostic or evaluation method is also provided.
