de la rétine causée par le diabète toucherait 99 % des diabétiques de type 1 et 60 % des diabétiques de type 2 diagnostiqués depuis 20 ans. Le dépistage est donc devenu un enjeu majeur de la lutte contre la rétinopathie diabétique, d'autant plus que des traitements très efficaces existent et permettent non seulement de ralentir sa progression, mais aussi - souvent - d'améliorer la vision déjà affectée. Ce livre permet de mieux comprendre les signes qui caractérisent la rétinopathie diabétique et les symptômes qui en résultent. Il aborde les principaux facteurs de risque et les moyens de prévention, et explique en détail comment on établit le diagnostic, quels sont les traitements proposés et comment mieux vivre avec la maladie au quotidien. Enfin, il donne un aperçu des avancées de la recherche qui ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives thérapeutiques. 2013.Par Jean-Daniel Arbour. 2010

homosexuels. Des militants comme Thomas Mann et Albert Einstein ont ouvertement milité pour les droits des gais. Mais tout cela change quand le Parti nazi arrive au pouvoir. La vie des homosexuels devient alors rapidement un enfer : raids, arrestations, emprisonnement et expulsions deviennent monnaie courante. Lorsque les camps de concentration sont construits, les homosexuels sont emprisonnés en même temps que les autres groupes que les nazis veulent supprimer. Le triangle rose, cousu sur les uniformes des camps, devient ainsi le symbole de la persécution des homosexuels, une persécution qui continuera pendant de nombreuses années après la guerre. 2018.

The true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as…
well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions. Very quickly three groups emerged within the battalion: a core of eager killers, a plurality who carried out their duties reliably but without initiative, and a small minority who evaded participation in the acts of killing without diminishing the murderous efficiency of the battalion whatsoever. 2017.Par Annie Jacobsen. 2014
