Abstract
To broaden the knowledge about desert dust (DD) aerosols in western Mediterranean Basin, their fingerprints on optical and microphysical properties are analyzed during DD episodes in the north-central plateau of the Iberian Peninsula between 2003 and 2014. Aerosol columnar properties obtained from the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET), such as aerosol optical depth (AOD), Ångström exponent (AE), volume particle size distribution, volume concentration (VC), sphericity, single scattering albedo, among others, are analyzed in order to provide a general characterization, being some of them compared to particle mass surface concentrations PM10, PM2.5, and their ratio, data obtained from EMEP network. The mean intensity of DD episodes exhibits: AOD440nm=0.27±0.12, PM10=24±18μg/m3, AE=0.94±0.40 and PM2.5/PM10=0.54±0.16. The AOD and PM10 annual cycles show maximum intensity in March and summer and minima in winter. A customized threshold of AE=1 distinguishes two types of dusty days, those with a prevailing desert character and those of mixed type, which is corroborated by sphericity values. Three well established intervals are obtained with the fine mode volume fraction (VCF/VCT). Coarse-mode-dominated cases (VCF/VCT≤0.2) present a mineral dust character: e.g., particle maximum concentration about 2μm, non-sphericity, stronger absorption power at shorter wavelengths, among others. The relevance of the fine mode is noticeable in mixtures with a predominance of particles about 0.2-0.3μm radii. Conditions characterized by 0.2<VCF/VCT<0.45 and VCF/VCT≥0.45 present a larger variability in all investigated aerosol properties. Relationships between AOD and columnar particle volume concentration give volume extinction efficiencies between 1.7 and 3.7μm2/μm3 depending on VCF/VCT. Aerosol scale height is obtained from relationships between surface and columnar concentrations displaying very large values up to 10km. The uncertainty associated with the transformation between AOD and PM10 can be partially reduced when the aerosol microphysical properties are known.

Abstract
The study of atmospheric aerosol load over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) under a climatological perspective is accomplished by means of PM10 and AOD440 nm measurements from EMEP and AERONET networks, respectively, in the period 2000-2013. The PM10 annual cycles in five Iberian sectors show a main maximum in summer and a secondary maximum in spring, which is only observed in the southern area for the AOD climatology. The characteristics of PM10-AOD annual cycles of each geographical sector are explained by the different climatology of the air mass origins and their apportioning. The two magnitudes are correlated with a factor ranging between 20 and 90 depending on the sector. The temporal evolution of the aerosol load has shown a notable decrease in the IP since the 1980s. Statistically significant trends are obtained in the Northeastern sector with a reduction of 26% (period 1985-2000) for the total suspended particles, which continues for the PM10 data with a value of 35% per decade (2001-2013), and also in the whole column, 61% per decade in the AOD440 nm (2004-2013).

Abstract
Periungueal capillaroscopy is a simple and reliable non-invasive technique allowing evaluation of cutaneous microcirculation. It was promoted for decades in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon in order to differentiate between the benign primary Raynaud's phenomenon and the secondary form in connective tissue diseases, especially systemic sclerosis. Nevertheless, the value of this procedure has also been shown in numerous pathologies such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. This literature review points to the versatility of this useful exam and its results in a large spectrum of diseases with microvascular involvement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary embolism is a frequent disorder with a diagnostic approach based on probability estimation. Nevertheless, in some cases, prognosis may be impaired by delayed diagnosis resulting from atypical presenting manifestations. CASE REPORT We report a 37-year-old woman, admitted for a seizure as the presenting manifestation of pulmonary embolism, and review nine additional similar cases reported in the literature since 1945. Seizures were always generalized tonico-clonic in nature without a past medical history of epilepsy in any case. Tachycardia was noted in nine patients over ten. Prognosis was usually severe leading to death by cardiovascular deficiency in 70% of cases. CONCLUSION These observations suggest a systematic suspicion of pulmonary embolism in the presence of generalized convulsion with persistent tachycardia after resolution of the episode and no past medical history of seizures. More research is necessary to assess the role of d-dimer testing in these situations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The first manifestations of Becker's muscular dystrophy usually occur during childhood, as Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, a related disease. However, clinical presentation is usually more heterogeneous and less severe. CASE REPORT We report a 54-year-old man who presented with a late onset of Becker's muscular dystrophy, and review 12 additional similar cases previously reported in the literature. The disease onset ranged from 30 to 65 years old. Genetic deletion involved mainly exons 45 to 55 with variable phenotype: distal muscular hypertrophy in four cases, cardiac involvement (electrocardiography, radiography or echocardiography) in six out of the 12 studied cases. Compared to the paediatric form, functional impairment was milder, as only three patients after seven to 20 years of follow-up were wheelchair bound. CONCLUSION The first manifestations of Becker's muscular dystrophy may occur after the age of 30 with heterogeneous phenotypes. Severity and limb disability is milder in these patients.

Abstract
Although rare in occidental countries, leprosy is an endemic disease throughout the world. Physicians may encounter imported cases and thus need to be aware of this diagnosis. We here report a 41-year-old male patient from French West Indies who presented with nonspecific extensive skin lesions and a peripheral neuropathy. Skin biopsy examination led to the diagnosis of borderline lepromatous leprosy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Localized scleroderma also called morphea is a skin disorder of undetermined cause. The widely recognized Mayo Clinic Classification identifies 5 main morphea types: plaque, generalized, bullous, linear and deep. Whether each of these distinct types has a particular clinical course or is associated with some patient-related features is still unclear. METHODS We report here a retrospective series of patients with localized scleroderma with an attempt to identify features related to the type of lesion involved. The medical records of all patients with a diagnosis of localized scleroderma were reviewed by skilled practitioners. Lesions were classified according to the Mayo Clinic Classification. The relationship between each lesion type and various clinical features was tested by non-parametrical methods. RESULTS The sample of 52 patients included 43 females and 9 males. Median age at onset was 30 y (range 1-76). Frequencies of patients according to morphea types were: plaque morphea 41 (78.8%) (including morphea en plaque 30 (57.7%) and atrophoderma of Pasini-Pierini 11 (21.1%)), linear scleroderma 14 (26.9%). Nine patients (17.3%) had both types of localized scleroderma. Median age at onset was lower in patients with linear scleroderma (8 y (range 3-44)) than in others (36 y (range 1-77)) (p=0.0003). Head involvement was more common in patients with linear scleroderma (37.5%) than in other subtypes (11.1%) (p=0.05). Atrophoderma of Pasini-Pierini was never located at the head. Systemic symptoms, antinuclear antibodies and the rheumatic factor were not associated with localized scleroderma types or subtypes. CONCLUSION These results suggest that morphea types, in adults are not associated with distinct patient features except for age at disease onset (lower) and the localization on the head (more frequent), in patients with lesions of the linear type.

Abstract. Some available processing algorithms used to calculate the aerosol optical depth from radiometric measurements were tested. The aim was to evaluate the associated uncertainties in polar regions due to the data processing, in order to adjust the methodology of the calculation and illustrate the importance of these error sources. The measurements were obtained during a sun photometer campaign in Ny-Ålesund within the framework of the POLAR-AOD project.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Systemic sclerosis (SSc) has an heterogenous clinical pattern, with variable organ involvement and degrees of severity. Like in other rheumatic diseases, the self-questionnaires have been used to evaluate SSc globally. The aim of the study is as to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in patients with either diffuse or limited SSc, and to examine the impact of pain on the QoL scores. METHODS Patients with SSc, either diffuse or limited SSc, were included in a cross-sectional study. The QoL was evaluated with the short-form 36 (SF-36) and the functional repercussion with the SSc-modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (S-HAQ). RESULTS A total of 89 patients (67 with diffuse and 22 with limited SSc) were included. The SF-36 score values were lower in SSc patients than those reported in the general population. The physical component scores (PCS) of the SF-36 was significantly worse in diffuse compared with limited SSc (P < 0.05). The PCS was significantly negatively related to the number of clinical manifestations (ANOVA, P < 0.0001). The mental component score (MCS) was not influenced by the type of SSc or the number of clinical manifestations presented by the patient. The QoL of SSc patients was highly correlated with pain (R = 0.69) and disability (R = 0.70). Interestingly, the QoL of SSc patients was only slightly correlated with cutaneous (R = 0.42) and pulmonary involvement (R = 0.57). CONCLUSION The QoL of patients with SSc is strongly influenced by the type of SSc, the burden of clinical manifestations, the functional disability and by the pain, whatever its cause. The treatment of pain should be considered as priority to improve the QoL of SSc patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cyclophosphamide in monthly intravenous bolus is used to treat severe forms of systemic sclerosis with pulmonary involvement. Since 1996, cyclophosphamide therapeutic intensification with autologous haematopoietic stem cells transplantation allowed significant improvement in skin and functional scores in severe systemic sclerosis. Cyclophosphamide potential cardiotoxicity in this setting has been questioned. METHODS To analyse cyclophosphamide potential cardiopulmonary toxicity (as graded with WHO classification), we retrospectively studied all severe systemic sclerosis patients treated with cyclophosphamide either during autologous haematopoietic stem cells transplantation procedure (group A) or intravenous cyclophosphamide (group B) recruited in 7 French centers volunteers for the study. Parameters to evaluate heart and lung functions at inclusion, then at last follow-up between 6 and 12 months after start of treatment, were compared using the Mann-Whitney test. RESULTS (Mean+/-standard deviation): Groups A (N=14) and B (N=13) were similar at the beginning of the study in terms of skin, renal, heart and lung involvement. Cyclophosphamide total dose (/m(2)) received in group A was superior (P=0.02) to the one in group B. After respective follow-up of 10+/-2.8 (group A) and 9.9+/-2.7 (group B) months, cyclophosphamide cardio toxicity (group A: N=3; group B: N=2), evolution of the left ventricular ejection fraction and arterial and pulmonary pressures did not differ in the two groups. CONCLUSION In spite of higher cyclophosphamide doses during autologous haematopoietic stem cells transplantation than bolus treatment, cardiopulmonary toxicity appeared not increased. The ongoing European ASTIS trial will compare the respective benefits of these 2 cyclophosphamide regimens in severe Systemic sclerosis.

Abstract
THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY of most autoimmune diseases is often poorly understood. EXPERIMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS and clinical experience suggest that high doses immunoablation followed by stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic option to consider for certain severe autoimmune disorders. THE CONCEPT OF RESTORING NORMAL IMMUNE REACTIVITY must in part br true since current results of 466 transplants (445 autologous, 21 allogeneic) patients suffering from various autoimmune diseases show a beneficial outcome in approximately 2/3 of the patients. TO IMPROVE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF SUCH AN AGGRESSIVE PROCEDURE in patients with potentially affected vital organs by the underlying autoimmune disease, it is especially important to follow international consensus guidelines and to centrally collect clinical data for in depth analysis in the EBMT International Stem Cell Project for Autoimmune Disease in Basel, Switzerland. PHASE III STUDIES ARE RUNNING FOR SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS (Astis, Autologous Stem cell Transplantation International Rheumatoid Arthritis Trial) started in 2003. A STUDY PROJECT IS PLANNED FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (Astims, Autologous Stem cell Transplantation International Multiple Sclerosis).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb lymphedema results from incompetence of the lymphatic system, and treatment of both primary and secondary forms involves manual lymphatic drainage and support. The effectiveness of treatment varies from patient to patient and can be unpredictable. OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical and paraclinical criteria able to predict responses to combined physical treatment (lymphatic drainage and multilayered support) during hospitalization. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed in 45 patients admitted for one week's intensive treatment of limb lymphedema in the Lymphology Unit of the Department of Dermatology of the University Hospital of Tours. Lymphoscintigraphy was performed for all patients on admission. Loss of volume in affected limbs was studied to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. RESULTS Two criteria were predictive of resistance to combined treatment, i.e. venous insufficiency and continuing lymph node evidence of scintigraphic activity four hours after lymphoscintigraphy. The two factors were significantly related. CONCLUSION Failure of combined physical treatment for lymphedema appears to be related to venous insufficiency. It is therefore essential to investigate and treat venous insufficiency, particularly in patients with continuing evidence of scintigraphic activity in lymph nodes.

Abstract
The modified Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SSc HAQ) is a functional score to assess systemic sclerosis (SSc) comprising the HAQ disease index (HAQ-DI) plus five specific visual analogue scales (VAS). Since it was validated in English-speaking patients only, its general use in any other language necessitates prior cross-cultural adaptation and validation. We designed this study to assess its value in French-speaking patients and to validate the French version according to international recommendations. We elaborated a French version using the "forward-backward" method. We then validated its psychometric properties with 100 consecutive SSc French-speaking patients who had undergone simultaneous clinical and paraclinical examination. In addition, we calculated the SSc HAQ score, a new outcome measure, which is obtained by pooling the eight domains from the HAQ-DI with the five organ VAS. Our study confirmed the psychometric properties of the SSc HAQ in non-English-speaking patients with (a) structural validity: the major component analysis, performed on the HAQ-DI and the five VAS, yielding a two-factor structure; (b) convergent validity: with high correlation coefficients between the SSc HAQ score and the physical component score of the SF-36 (r=-0.74, p<0.0001); (c) discriminant validity: the SSc HAQ score was better in patients with limited than with diffuse SSc (0.5+/-0.5 vs 1.1+/-0.7, respectively, p<0.0001) in relation to the number of clinical involvements; (d) reproducibility was high using the test-retest procedure (r=0.98). This study showed the value of the SSc HAQ, which is a simple, discriminant, reproducible self-administered questionnaire to evaluate French-speaking SSc patients. In addition, we suggest the use of a new outcome measure, the SSc HAQ score, to assess this systemic disease more accurately.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the metric properties and the validity of the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36 (SF-36), a questionnaire to assess the quality of life, in patients with either diffuse or limited systemic sclerosis (SS), and to examine the effect of the disease on quality of life. METHODS Cross sectional study of 86 patients with a SS (64 diffuse SS, 22 limited SS). Disease severity was assessed by clinical examination, pulmonary functional tests and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) modified for scleroderma. RESULTS The SF-36 scores values were lower in diffuse than in limited sclérodermie systémique. The Physical Component Score was worse in patients with than without any clinical involvement. This score increased in relation with the number of clinical involvements. The quality of life of patients with SS was correlated to its functional repercussion. CONCLUSION The quality of life in SS patients is correlated with the clinical severity of the disease. The use of SF-36 to measure the quality of life is useful for the clinical evaluation of patients with SS.

Abstract
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 is a well known marker for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. However, its limitation is its nonspecificity, because elevated levels may be encountered in other gastrointestinal disorders, both benign and malignant. The following case is a patient with a true (epithelial) splenic cyst with elevated serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9.

Abstract
We report a French pedigree with members having an inherited combination of non-epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (NEPPK) and sensorineural deafness. The penetrance of both features was incomplete. Additional ectodermal defects were absent. The expression of numerous epidermal proteins (keratins, fillagrin, cornified envelope proteins, intercellular junction proteins including connexin 26, and loricrin) defined with immunolabelling was normal in the proband. The combination was shown to be associated with the A7445G point mutation in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). This mutation is responsible for a subtype of NEPPK which is so far the only mtDNA mutation-associated keratoderma.
