Grâce aux techniques de biologie moléculaire, le diagnostic prénatal est rendu possible dès la 10-12 semaine d’aménorrhée, permettant un conseil génétique. Quant a...

By the application of Poiseuille's law to the rate of flow of water through collodion membranes, it is calculated that the membranes used had pore radii of the order of 0.3 to 2 x 10(-6) cm. On the same basis the number of pores per sq. cm. appears to vary from 270 x 10(10) to 7 x 10(10), decreasing with increase in pore size. Reasons are given for preferring these figures for the radii to figu...

In a study of some of the factors affecting the formation of protein films on collodion membranes,' it was found that the amounts of protein adhering to the membranes varied with the pH in a way similar, in the case of gelatin, to the variation of the fluidity of the protein solutions with the pH. The connection between the viscosity of gelatin solutions and the swelling of gelatin particles ha...
