Enhancement by diuretics of the antihypertensive action of long-term angiotensin converting enzyme blockade

Thirty-nine patients with various types of hypertension were treated by chronic blockage of the angiotensin converting enzyme, i.e. by twice daily administration of captopril, 50 to 200 mg p.o. The blood pressure reduction observed 1 hour following administration of the inhibitor was directly related to the baseline plasma renin activity (r=- 0.67, p < 0.001). Whenever blockade of the renin system alone did not lower blood pressure to normal levels additional sodium subtraction brought it under control. With the renin system neutralized, blood pressure becomes exquisitely sensitive to changes in sodium balance. Diuretics seem to preserve optimal natriuretic efficacy despite blood pressure reduction, probably because aldosterone levels are reduced and renal blood flow increases. Blockade of the renin system together with individually tailored salt subtraction provides an attractive new approach to long-term treatment of clinical hypertension.

Récits, imaginaires collectifs et forme d'action protestataire. Une approche constructiviste de la contestation antiraciste

Cet article vise à repenser l'influence de la culture sur les phénomènes contestataires par le biais des récits sociaux et imaginaires collectifs. Les narrations collectives mettent à disposition un stock spécifique de ressources culturelles et symboliques, elles façonnent les identités des acteurs et, finalement, elles dessinent des opportunités discursives qui facilitent ou, au contraire, limitent l'engagement et l'expression politique des acteurs contestataires. En examinant l'action des organisations antiracistes et des acteurs qui se solidarisent au sort des migrants en France et en Suisse, nous verrons que les imaginaires de la nation et les récits collectifs de la citoyenneté nous offrent des outils conceptuels qui nous permettent de comprendre la présence de ces acteurs dans l'espace public, le répertoire d'action qu'ils mobilisent pour porter leurs revendications dans la sphère politique, mais aussi le contenu de leurs interventions publiques.

Estudio y construcción de herramientas de validación HTML

The Final Year Project consists of two essentially different parts, which share acommon theme: HTML code validation. The first of these two parts focuses on the study of the validation process. It supplies a brief introduction to the evolution of HTML and XHTML, the new tags introduced in HTML5 and the most common errors found in today's websites. Already developed HTML validation tools are analyzed and examined in detail in order to compare their features and evaluate their performances. Lastly, a comparison of the parsing process in the most common browsers found nowadays is provided. In the second part of the project the focus of the project is shifted towards the development of a XHTML5 validation tool. The input is a XHTML5 file whose content may or may not comply with the W3C specification, and therefore, may or may not be a valid XHTML5 document. The output provided by this tool will be a fixed XHTML5 document and an error log returned in the form of a XML file. Information as to the course of action pursued to fix the error and its location will also be included.
