La bibliothèque de survie de Charles Sagalane

La bibliothèque de survie du poète Charles Sagalane est installée dans un archipel d'îles du Lac Saint-Jean. Elle est, au dire de son créateur, "une sorte d’annexe sauvage de la bibliothèque municipale". J’ai profité d’un séjour dans la région, au mois d’août 2014, pour aller visiter les lieux avec Sagalane et son acolyte, Diégo Audet.

Effects of dobutamine on gut mucosal nitric oxide production during endotoxic shock in rabbits

Background: Dobutamine is the agent of choice for increasing cardiac output during myocardial depression in humans with septic shock. Studies have shown that beta-adrenoceptor agonists influence nitric oxide generation, probably by modulating cyclic adenosine monophosphate. We investigated the effects of dobutamine on the systemic and luminal gut release of nitric oxide during endotoxic shock in rabbits. Materials/Methods: Twenty anesthetized and ventilated New Zealand rabbits received placebo or intravenous lipopolysaccharide with or without dobutamine (5 mu g/kg/min). Ultrasonic flow probes placed around the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta continously estimated the flow. A segment from the ileum was isolated and perfused, and scrum nitrate/nitrite levels were measured in the perfusate solution and the serum every hour. Results: The mean arterial pressure decreased with statistical significance in the lipopolysaccharide group but not in the lipopolysaccharide/dobutamine group. The abdominal aortic flow decreased statistically significantly after lipopolysaccharide administration in both groups but recovered to base-line in the lipopolysaccharide/dobutamine group. The flow in the superior mesenteric artery was statistically significantly higher in the lipopolysaccharide/dobutamine group than in the lipopolysaccharide group at 2 hours. The serum nitrate/nitrite levels were higher in the lipopolysaccharide group and lower in the lipopolysaccharide/dobutamine group than those in the control group. The gut luminal perfusate serum nitrate/nitric level was higher in the lipopolysaccharide group than in the lipopolysaccharide/dobutamine group. Conclusions: Dobutamine can decrease total and intestinal nitric oxide production in vivo. Those effects seem to be inversely proportional to the changes in blood flow.

Say, Sismondi e o debate continental sobre os mercados

O artigo versa sobre o debate travado entre Say e Sismondi a respeito da possibilidade de saturação geral dos mercados. Na primeira seção, descreve-se o contexto histórico da Europa continental nas primeiras décadas do século 19, destacando-se as particularidades da experiência francesa de industrialização ante a liderança britânica nesse campo. A seguir, traça-se breve perfil da formação intelectual de Say a fim de apresentar sua visão sobre o funcionamento dos mercados. Na continuação, examina-se a perspectiva histórica de Sismondi em sua crítica da ortodoxia clássica, bem como sua versão para a tendência do sistema capitalista à superprodução. Nas duas últimas partes, recuperam-se os comentários recíprocos de Say e Sismondi a respeito de suas divergências teóricas sobre os limites da acumulação de capital.

A economia clássica contra os fatos ou Sismondi entre os ricardianos

O artigo trata do debate ocorrido entre Sismondi e os economistas ricardianos, na primeira metade do século dezenove, a respeito do equilíbrio dos mercados, do papel da competição e dos efeitos da maquinaria nas sociedades industriais. A seção inicial reconstitui os principais termos do discurso crítico de Sismondi direcionado à ortodoxia clássica. A seguir, detalham-se as respostas elaboradas por McCulloch e Torrens em defesa da livre concorrência, do caráter ilimitado da demanda e do avanço da mecanização na atividade produtiva. A terceira seção considera a argumentação posterior de Sismondi na qual ele reitera sua teoria das crises de superprodução a partir de uma abordagem histórica do capitalismo. Ao final, procede-se a uma breve avaliação da herança ricardiana à economia política em vista da controvérsia examinada.
