His headband holding a bone vibrator on his forehead will soon be just a bad memory. Alfred, a dynamic 72-year-old retiree, was able to find common ground with this device allowing him to hear. But, following months of living together, he will finally part with it. The reasons for this amicable divorce: the placement of a bone-anchored hearing implant behind the ear. A new innovative surgical technique from which he can benefit like a dozen patients in France. This advanced intervention carried out for the first time by the team of the ENT department of the Hôpital de la Conception in Marseille should allow him to resume an almost normal life. Like the one before his accident.”There

Packed with experience, the Genevans have very solid arguments. If the attack, the power-play and the defense seem to hold the shock, the goalkeeper position remains the one that is most subject to questions. Excellent, will Robert Mayer and Gauthier Descloux be up to it?

First element of response once morest Lugano, who came out of the pre-playoffs by beating Friborg 2-0. The Eagles will be favourites, but the Ticino people are already on the pace and their goalkeeper Mikko Koskinen seems to be perked up in recent weeks. With an omnipresent Markus Granlund, the Luganese will not let themselves be eaten without a fight.

Biel favorite once morest Bern

Second, Bienne will challenge the great cantonal rival Bern with the cap of favorites. Only the Seelanders, so beautiful to see playing in the regular season, have the ability to change their style at the time of these intense battles?

Like Lugano, Bern had to go through the pre-playoff box and needed 3 games to dismiss Kloten. How will Chris DiDomenico deal with his emotions? The Bears’ best hot-blooded pointer, “DiDo” holds one of the keys to this series. It notably cost a victory once morest Kloten.

Foot-and-mouth disease is an extremely contagious disease of livestock that requires special attention from health authorities. Being a major pathology, it can indeed seriously affect the production and international trade of foodstuffs of animal origin, as well as food security and economic development at local and global levels.

A new European Union Reference Laboratory for foot-and-mouth disease

ANSES, via its Animal Health Laboratory in Maisons-Alfort, in association with the Belgian Veterinary and Agrochemical Study and Research Center (CERVA), has just been designated European Union Reference Laboratory (LRUE) for foot-and-mouth disease. The Franco-Belgian consortium was selected following a call for applications launched by the European Commission in May 2017. The implementation of this new European reference mandate should begin on 1^is January 2019, to take over from the Pirbright Institute in the UK which currently holds it.

By granting ANSES and CERVA the status of European Union Reference Laboratory, the European Commission salutes not only the work and the scientific influence of the two organizations at European and international level, but also their coordinated mobilization in the face of major sanitary facilities.

ANSES and CERVA long-time partners

Linked by a collaboration agreement since 2009, also recently renewed, the two organizations have joined forces on many occasions in recent years, particularly in the context of joint participation in research projects in animal health and food safety. . For some time now, ANSES and CERVA have been collaborating in the areas of diagnosis and reference activities, both in terms of pathogens responsible for epizootics and zoonoses and chemical agents liable to contaminate the food chain.

Associated with the Med-Vet-Net network, the European network on foodborne zoonoses, CERVA is also a partner in the European “One Health” research project coordinated by ANSES. This project will start in January 2018 and will focus on foodborne zoonoses, antibiotic resistance and emerging infectious disease risks. Finally, CERVA is associated with the editorial committee ofEuroreferencethe European reference magazine piloted by ANSES, and now co-produced by 18 European organisations.

When a person experiences stress, The adrenal glands secrete cortisol, a hormone that increases appetite. And people, being in a stressful state, are drawn to foods containing carbohydrates and sugar. In order not to jam problems, you need to understand and eliminate the cause of stress, as well as prevent such conditions with the help of regular rest, meditation, and exercise.

Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland. In this case, it consumes a lot of energy that a person wants to replenish with food.

Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop so low that they are unable to provide the body with the energy it needs. This happens if a person is too hungry or has been exercising without eating properly.

Other causes of hypoglycemia may include:

• alcohol consumption;

• metabolic problems;

• diseases of the kidneys, liver or pancreas.

Low blood sugar is also very common in people suffering from diabetes. A person with this diagnosis may experience excessive hunger symptoms because the body does not have enough glucose to provide the energy it needs to function properly.

Some medicines, such as antidepressants, can stimulate appetite and hunger.

All medical causes should be diagnosed and treated under medical supervision.
