[Warning systems: a priority in epidemiological surveillance].

One of the functions of public health is to reduce the impact of emergency situations; hence the need to establish an early warning and response system. Community reactions to emerging and reemerging diseases, exposure to environmental risks, and potential terrorist acts are the factors that have that have mainly contributed to the instauration of warning systems based on mathematical models. Information is obtained from diverse sources (for example, laboratory data, sentinel physicians, or visits to particular websites). Once the data are gathered, and the situation provoking the alert is detected, control measures to reduce risks and minimize damage are taken at the earliest.

[Levels of chromatin condensation and activity].

The main progresses which occurred last years in the knowledge of chromatin, in its biochemical components, structure and organization levels, are briefly outlined. Inhibition of transcriptional activity is examined at the molecular, cellular and chromosomal levels. The different states of chromatin condensation according to physiopathological conditions are more particularly reviewed together with recent data on transcriptional regulation depending on histone and DNA modifications.
