Anévrisme aortiqueAn aortic aneurysm is an enlargement (dilatation) of the aorta to greater than 1.5 times normal size. They usually cause no symptoms except when ruptured. Occasionally, there may be abdominal, back, or leg pain. The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm ("AAA") has been reported to range from 2 to 12% and is found in about 8% of men more than 65 years of age. The mortality rate attributable to AAA is about 15,000 per year in the United States and 6,000 to 8,000 per year in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Tanning lampTanning lamps (sometimes called tanning bulbs in the United States or tanning tubes in Europe) are the part of a tanning bed, booth or other tanning device which produces ultraviolet light used for indoor tanning. There are hundreds of different kinds of tanning lamps most of which can be classified in two basic groups: low pressure and high pressure. Within the industry, it is common to call high-pressure units "bulbs" and low-pressure units "lamps", although there are many exceptions and not everyone follows this example.
MAP kinasesLes Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) (ou tout simplement, MAP kinases) sont un ensemble de protéines kinases nécessaires à l'induction de la mitose dans les cellules eucaryotes. Elles appartiennent au groupe des kinases CMGC (incluant les kinases CDK, MAPK, GSK3 et CLK). Les MAP-K sont impliquées dans un certain nombre d'évènements de la vie de la cellule, comme la mitose, mais aussi très liées à des phénomènes apoptotiques, à la différenciation ou encore à la survie cellulaire.

TofacitinibLe tofacitinib ou CP-690550 est une molécule développée comme médicament, inhibiteur des janus kinases (JAK) 1 et 3 (un type de tyrosine kinase). Il est commercialisé par le laboratoire Pfizer sous forme de comprimés dénommés XELJANZ dosés à 5 et 10 mg et sous forme de comprimés à libération prolongée dosée à 11 mg . Il est administré par voie orale. Il a été testé au début chez l'animal pour la prévention du rejet de greffe par son effet anti JAK3. Il s'est révélé par la suite également anti-JAK1, respectant relativement le JAK 2.
