  • Publication number: 20240269675
    Abstract: The mobile, autonomous device (10) for detecting analytes in air includes: air inlet means (11), means (12) for liquifying the only moisture present in the incoming air into droplets containing the analytes to be detected, in the absence of any input in the air stream whose humidity is subject to liquefaction, means (13) for bringing droplets into contact with a plurality of markers, each marker presenting, after contact with a droplet containing an analyte to be detected, a physical quantity representative of the amount of this analyte present in the droplet, means (14) for capturing the value of this physical quantity, configured to provide a signal representative of this physical quantity, and means (15) for processing the signal from the capture means, configured to provide information representative of the concentration of each analyte to be detected in the incoming air, Figure for the abstract: FIG. 1.

  • Patent number: 9168250
    Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a ligand of the 5-HT4 receptor or of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of this ligand and to a nucleic acid coding for a 5-HT4 receptor or of a functionally equivalent receptor for a drug for treating and/or preventing a pathology associated with an obsessional behavior such as anorexia, bulimia and the addiction to drugs of abuse or obesity. The invention also relates to a method for identifying a compound that is biologically active in the treatment and/or the prevention of a pathology associated with an obsessional conduct or obesity including: a) placing the 5-HT4 receptor or a functionally equivalent receptor in contact with this biologically active compound, and b) the determination of whether this biologically active compound is capable of modulating the basal activity of the 5-HT4 receptor or of a functionally equivalent receptor.
