[Maternal toxoplasmosis before conception and chorioretinitis in twin sisters].

A maternal toxoplasmosis before conception is exceptionally transmitted to the fetus. We report an observation of twin sisters who presented congenital toxoplasmosis with chorioretinitis detected at nine months of age. The anamnesis revealed that the mother had had toxoplasmosis one month before conception. In the event of preconceptual infections, we propose fetal ultrasonography, histological examination of the placenta at delivery, as well as a pediatric follow-up of the infants (serological samples every month, cranial ultrasonography, fundus oculi).

Microwave single walled carbon nanotubes purification.

A new single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) purification procedure has been developed; it consists in a combination of air treatment and acid microwave digestion leading to a high purity SWCNTs material; the procedure reaches high metal removal percentages and the operation time is drastically reduced compared to conventional acid reflux treatments.

On the origin of the square root of (7) x square root of (7) superstructure and the anomalous magnetic and transport properties of the layered compound Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2).

We examined why the 1T-VS(2) layer of the layered compound Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2) has the x superstructure in terms of electronic band structure calculations and metal-metal bonding across the shared edges of adjacent VS(6) octahedra. On the basis of this analysis we explored how the anomalous magnetic and transport properties of Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2) can be explained. Our work shows that the x superstructure is not caused by a charge density wave instability associated with Fermi surface nesting but by the metal-metal bonding through the shared edges of adjacent VS(6) octahedra. The weak and strong electron localizations observed for Sr(6)V(9)S(22)O(2) were discussed in terms of three-center two-electron and two-center two-electron V-V bonds in the 1T-VS(2) layers.
