Patterns of primary growth increments in otoliths of Sparus aurata larvae in relation to water temperature and food consumption

Sparus aurata larvae reared under controlled water-temperature conditions during the first 24 days after hatching displayed a linear relationship between age (t) and standard length (SL): SL = 2.68 + 0.19 t (r2 = 0.91l). Increments were laid down in the sagittae with daily periodicity starting on day of hatching. Standard length (SL) and sagittae radius (OR) were correlated: SL(mm) = 2.65 + 0.012 OR(mm). The series of measurements of daily growth increment widths (DWI), food density and water temperature were analyzed by means of time series analysis. The DWI series were strongly autocorrelated, the growth on any one day was dependent upon growth on the previous day. Time series of water temperatures showed, as expected, a random pattern of variation, while food consumed daily was a function of food consumed the two previous days. The DWI series and the food density were correlated positively at lags 1 and 2. The results provided evidence of the importance of food intake upon the sagittae growth when temperature is optimal (20ºC). Sagittae growth was correlated with growth on the previous day, so this should be taken into account when fish growth is derived from sagittae growth rates.

Etat de stress post-traumatique : quel type de psychothérapie proposer? : Revue cochrane pour le praticien

L'état de stress post-traumatique (ESPT) apparaît dans les mois qui suivent un ou plusieurs événements potentiellement traumatiques (EPT) (par exemple, guerre, violences, accidents, chirurgie invasive). Les symptômes comprennent des souvenirs intrusifs, des cauchemars, un évitement et des émotions négatives (par exemple, honte, culpabilité, perte d'espoir, sentiment d'étrangeté), ainsi qu'une hypervigilance. Sous-diagnostiqué et sous-traité, l'ESPT a un impact négatif sur la qualité de vie et le fonctionnement des patients. Sa prévalence en Suisse est de 0,7 % (plus élevée dans certaines populations, par exemple, 13 % chez les hommes requérants d'asile déboutés). L'approche psychothérapeutique est centrale dans la prise en charge, un traitement médicamenteux pouvant également être utile. Cette revue (systématique) cherche à actualiser les connaissances sur l'efficacité des psychothérapies pour le traitement de l'ESPT.
