Le syndrome de Klinefelter à 20 ans: A propos de 426 observations

Based on a personal series of 426 consecutive observations, the authors look into the different clinical, psychological and biological aspects of Klinefelter' syndrome in subjects aged around twenty. They emphasize the misleading forms and the need to get the karyotype in all patients presenting with any genitalia or pubertal development abnormalities. Testosterone treatment must be given as early as possible around the age of 11–12 years. This therapy is always beneficial in all aspects including the improvement of the psychosocial adjustment.     

Comparative analysis of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Caenorhabditis elegans</Emphasis> protein interaction networks

Background  

Protein interaction networks aim to summarize the complex interplay of proteins in an organism. Early studies suggested that the position of a protein in the network determines its evolutionary rate but there has been considerable disagreement as to what extent other factors, such as protein abundance, modify this reported dependence.
