Global sales of tablets jumped to 78%

Total 128.3 million units were sold, against only 72 million in 2011.

IDC notes that the increase in sales has gone with a decline in average selling prices by 15% to $ 461.

This is the computer group Apple created the tablet market in 2010 with its first iPad, which continues to dominate the market but suffered increasing competition from devices smaller and less expensive such as Amazon Kindle Fire . Apple itself had also decided last year to launch a "mini iPad" cheaper.

Despite their strong growth, tablets still represent a small proportion (10.7%) of the market for devices connected to the Internet, where the lion's share of smart phones (60.1%), according to IDC.

Adding computers and laptops, the market recorded a total last year growth of 29.1% to 1.2 billion units sold.

Serial bomb blasts rock Hyderabad

Two bombs planted on bicycles exploded Thursday in a crowded market in the city of Hyderabad, in southern India, killing at least eleven people dead and 80 wounded, said the Chief Minister, Kiran kumar reddy.

According to TV channels, all the major cities of the Indian Union were placed on alert.

Hyderabad is an important center for information technology in India, behind Bangalore. Giants Microsoft and Google are particularly located.

"I spoke to the Prime Minister has indicated that the two explosions occurred within 150 meters," said Sushil Kumar Shinde to journalistes.Head of government, Manohan Singh, spoke on his side "attack odious. " "I urge the public to remain calm and maintain peace", "he said on his Twitter account.

Witnesses told Reuters they heard at least two explosions just after dusk.

The blasts come less than two weeks after the execution by hanging of a national Kashmir for an attack against the Indian Parliament in 2001 that federal sparked violent clashes

Cold: Vitamin C Useful in prevention for Childern

Athletes but also the children would benefit from taking the vitamin C supplementation in order to avoid colds and recover faster after taking cold. In any case it says a study by scientists at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

Also effective in children

These were given to a group of 11,000 volunteers a regular dose of vitamins C and then studied their resistance to viruses in winter. Among the participants, there were children, runners, soldiers or even making the teenagers swimming in competition

The researchers found that among people who work outdoors or who regularly practice a sport, taking vitamin C was shown to halve the risk of having a cold and otherwise, to heal faster. By cons no effect was noted in people who have no physical activity

Children also seem more susceptible to this supplementation. The results of the study, children who took a regular dose of one gram of vitamin C given the average length of their cold reduced by 18%. Harri Hemild and Elizabeth Chalker, the authors of the study conclude: "the failure of vitamin C supplementation to reduce the incidence of colds in the general population indicates that the habit of taking vitamin C is not justified but it may be helpful for people experiencing brief periods of intense physical activity. "

BREAST CANCER: ALCOHOL AS BAD AS CIGARETTE

"Drink two glasses of alcohol per day is enough to increase the risk of developing cancer. Even if it is a moderate consumption may seem, even reasonable, it is enough to increase the risk of suffering a cancer, particularly of developing breast cancer". These are the findings of a study conducted by doctors at the Medical School in Boston and has been published in the American journal of public health.

Classified as a carcinogen by the WHO since 1988, alcohol is often considered responsible for cancers of the mouth, throat and liver. This is essentially true for men. In women, however, alcohol consumption, even moderate, is associated with an increase in the number of breast cancers.

To better understand the damage caused by alcohol on health, Professor Mark Bellis, from Liverpool University, has calculated how many people died of alcohol-related disease in the United Kingdom. According to its latest statistics, alcohol is responsible for 9,000 deaths from cancer each year, with 1,500 deaths from breast cancer. "There is no level of consumption below which we could feel safe in terms of cancer risk. And the message on alcohol advertising should not be "in moderation" but a warning about the risks, including drinking less than two drinks per day. "Insists the doctor.

At the National Cancer Institute (Inca) as it is aware of the need to shed light on the role of alcohol in the development of the disease, which is the leading cause of death in France. Remember that every day 1,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed and 500 patients die. In a survey conducted in June 98% of respondents knew about the cancer that smoking favors the disease, but only 52% were aware that alcohol is also a risk factor. In contrast, 29% of respondents thought that wearing a tight bra promoted breast cancer!

Unexplained weight loss reasons in women

Sometimes weight loss is completely unintentional. Although some in a dream, it is not necessarily a good thing, and without sounding the alarm, it is better to pay attention . There are certain symptoms which we pay scant attention. Losing weight is usually in part. Since it is rarely resented by women, it is not seen as a symptom and weight loss is not taken very seriously. Yet, when unexplained and involuntary, it may be indicative of some diseases.

A problem with the thyroid, for example, can cause significant weight loss. Hyperthyroidism - when our thyroid gland produces too much hormone - resulting in rapid weight loss and brutal without reducing appetite. This is also one of the first visible signs of the disease!

The mind affecting the functioning of our body, weight loss can also be the result of a psychological problem (depression) , or, more importantly, neurological . Less severe disease may also result in a significant weight loss, this is particularly the case for digestive infections which cause loss of appetite.

It is therefore very important to take seriously an unexplained weight loss. equilibrium weight is one of the key indicators of good health. As a precaution, if you are not on a diet, you have no limitations to your diet and you notice a significant weight loss, be watchful: your body informs you that struggle. Therefore, do not hesitate to consult your doctor, he will be able to tell you whether or not there is cause for concern and follow a specific treatment.

Liver cancer: a modified virus extends patients' lives

the modified virus helped extend the life of sick patients. Pexa-Vec, a genetically engineered virus, was developed to target cancer cells and destroy them. A recent American study shows positive effects on thirty patients with liver cancer.
This is a new hope for all cancer patients: a virus developed by the American company Jennerex would extend the life of patients with liver cancer terminal. This is revealed by the study recently published in the British journal Nature Medicine, which describes the clinical trial for four weeks on thirty patients. The life of these has been extended by several months.
After handling the HIV virus, the virus Pexa-Vec (or JX-594) represents a breakthrough in the search for the fight against cancer. One of the study's authors, David Kirn, told AFP: "This is the first time in the history of medicine as we have shown that a genetically engineered virus could improve survival of cancer patients. "
Promising results Of the thirty patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC or primary liver cancer), sixteen were given high doses of the virus, while fourteen were administered lower doses of Pexa-Vec. The researchers then found that the former have survived to 14.1 months on average, while the latter survived 6.7 months.
These results demonstrate that "the treatment Pexa-Vec two doses resulted in a reduction of tumor size," said Jennerex in a statement. In addition to destroying tumors, manipulated virus would strengthen the patient's immune system, which would slow further progression of the disease.
The Pexa-Vec could cure other cancers However, some patients experienced side effects "of short duration, transient and manageable," similar to the symptoms of the flu, scientists said. One patient suffered from such severe nausea and vomiting. The Pexa-Vec was developed from vaccinia virus, initially used as a vaccine against smallpox. The virus is administered either intravenously or directly into the tumor.
Moreover, apart from liver cancer, the Pexa-Vec could be effective against other cancers, as shown by the initial results of tests on 200 people. But according Jennerex, a new study should be conducted on 120 people to confirm this new treatment.
The French company Transgene Mérieux Group, has signed a partnership agreement with Jennerex in 2013 on the development and commercialization, including the European territory of Pexa-Vec.

The United States, targets of cyber attack

The United States is the target of a major cyber attack endangering its economic competitiveness, says a report by the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released last night by the "Washington Post".
The report, classified secret and from various U.S. intelligence agencies, says, first, China, the newspaper said, citing officials who requested anonymity. "This is the most aggressive country that seeks to penetrate the computer systems of U.S. companies and institutions in order to have access to data to acquire an advance in the economic field," according to sources.

According to the NIE document, companies related to energy, finance, aerospace, automotive, are the most frequently targeted by cyber attacks. The damage caused by these attacks are estimated at tens of billions of dollars, by external experts, the paper said.

The National Intelligence Estimate cites three other countries, the origin of cyberattacks against the United States U.S.: Russia, "Israel" and France. Faced with this situation, the administration of President Barack Obama is trying to counter the attacks of these countries, including by filing formal complaints, expelling the diplomatic staff, restricting the issuance of visas and making claims, with the General Organization (ILO) says "Post".

Holland, India to finalize major contracts

French President François Hollande, will visit India on Thursday, February 14th, for a state visit 48 hours, strong economic and commercial content.

Tips to speed metabolism

To most people would like to be more fit. A better body means you will not be frankly round. Many factors play a role in how a person looks and how it is shaped. One factor is exercise. Another is diet.You've already heard it all before, and while it is true that you need to have a general plan of exercise and dietary goals, there are things you can do right now to ensure that these goals are a little easier to reach.
Certainly nothing will replace a sensible diet and a good exercise routine. There is no magic formula that you can use that suddenly what (the) become (s) supermodel, but I hope you can benefit from the tips and tricks that I'm about to share with you.

The Key to Your Metabolism

The key for you to show off a body fit and healthy is in your metabolism and how your body is clean inside. The metabolism is a biochemical process that determines how quickly converts calories into energy.

You use energy and burn fat when you do physical activity and digests food, but also continues to burn fat even when at rest. The rate at which you burn fat at rest is called basal metabolic rate (BMR are its acronym in English). In fact there are ways to speed it up for you to burn fat faster when not making much effort.

Every coin has two sides, and the opposite face of accelerating your metabolism is what decelerates. You may be doing things that lethargic metabolism and allow your body to store excess fat without noticing. Some of the things that make your metabolism slow are:

* Evil Eats - Let sodas and muffins! Splurging Okay, just make sure they are organic foods, healthy, natural. Avoid highly processed and fatty foods.

*Not getting enough sleep - If your body is exhausted then the efficiency with which burns calories goes down the toilet. A well rested body is more efficient.

*Being stressed - Stress causes high levels of a hormone called cortisol in your body, which causes abdominal fat. Relax and ... Get rid of those extra kilos!

*Dieting - Believe it or not, follow a strict diet can slow your metabolism. Avoid fad diets and those that are too low in calories. Low calorie diets cause your body to suffer starvation level, with which their metabolism becomes very slow to try to prevent you from burning too many calories, then eat again when your body stores calories as fat. Fad diets may work to cost term, but the real way to a healthier body is improving all long-term habits.

*A Toxic Body - The accumulation of toxins in the body slows your metabolism because your body has to work extra hard to eliminate these toxins daily. I suggest you do a colon cleanse , a liver cleanse and gallbladder or cleaning harmful organisms to boost your metabolism naturally.

There are factors that affect your metabolism that are beyond your control. The metabolism slows naturally as you age, especially this happens to women.

Some people suffer from an underactive thyroid, adrenal glands or an unfortunate dysfunctional family genetics that causes weight gain, but still there are ways to speed up your metabolism, but you have a terrible diet and are genetically predisposed to carry more weight whatever they wanted.

Tips for exercise to speed up your metabolism

1. Exercise! Whether you cycling, anything, walk or jog, but move. A regular exercise routine is the best thing, but remember to make small changes from time to time so that your body does not reach the point where you stop improving. Ten minutes from your busy day does not seem much when first started exercising, but if you make a routine of 10 minutes, six days a week, will be an hour of exercise last week! As you and your family to get used to your routine will be easier to increase 10 minutes to 12, 15 to 20 minutes per day. I recommend you jump on a trampoline. It's easy, safe and very effective.

2. Make and Take Shape Muscle! If you work for muscle mass weight then ensures that burn more calories doing cardio alone. Why? Because muscle burns calories even when you rest, raises your BMR to help you burn fat!

3.Right Timing. When you train on and off, for example, if jogging 12 minutes total, but every two minutes increases speed running so fast for 1 minute, your body will work more, then you have a more intense routine.

4.Get up! Get up from your desk and walk around the office, up and down the stairs a few times, park further away or play with the dog. If you use these little sprouts of energy during the day and your metabolism will burn more calories fast.

Foods that speed up your metabolism

I've given you some tips and some tricks to help boost your metabolism without even mentioning what is easier than you can do-eat!

Here are some dietary habits and lifestyle can boost your metabolism. You can also see the diet plan I suggest here.

*Start your day early with a smart breakfast includes fresh fruit only.

*Eat often because it will boost your metabolism all day, and when it does many small meals during the day tend to eat less at a time, which makes your digestive system and make less effort to work more efficiently.

*Eat spicy foods, if sufficiently enchilosas full boost their metabolism and make you sweat!

*Eat healthy snacks that contain lean protein such as nuts, seeds or hemp milk. The protein has many amino acids so your body has to work harder to break down these foods, which means you burn more calories while digesting.

*Chew your food 25 times before swallowing. This will save the energy your body stores and speed up your metabolism.

*Eat foods that speed up your metabolism.

Eight things you should know about cancer

The "guardian of the genome." There is a protein called p53 that while in their "normal" repairs damaged DNA in cells, why is nicknamed the "guardian of the genome" - when mutated leaves operate and allows cancer proliferate uncontrollably. Scientists look for chemical compounds that activate this protein to adequately curb cancer. For example, just check that one of its mechanisms of action is to detect metabolic stress and make aging (senescence) damaged cells to prevent proliferate and form tumors.

Sugar Spanish researchers at the University Rey Juan Carlos have shown excess sugars in the diet increases the activity of a protein called b-catenin, closely related to tumor progression. This explains why the epidemiological data show that the frequency of certain types of cancer can be doubled in populations with high levels of blood sugar, such as obese or diabetic.

Infectious. Infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria and parasites are the cause of two million cases of cancer worldwide, according to an international study published in The Lancet Oncology . Put another way, 16% of cancer cases worldwide in 2008 were due to an infection that could have been prevented or treated. The primary infection-related cancers are associated with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and papilloma virus, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Ten instead of one. thing we now call breast cancer should be considered as ten different diseases , as evidenced by a revolutionary British and Canadian study published by the journal Nature. The new classification, based on the genetic fingerprint of tumors, could improve treatment by allowing tailor drugs to each case, increasing survival rates.

caloric restriction. A steady decline over time in food intake resulting in an increase in the length of telomeres of chromosomes ends in adult mice, which exerts a protective effect on DNA and genetic material. These beneficial effects on youth of chromosomes result in a lower incidence of cancer, among other diseases associated with aging.

Cancer and electricity. Scientists at Tufts University have identified a bioelectrical signal which can identify which cells are at risk of becoming tumors. But not only help predict: bioelectric signals are an important control mechanism to regulate how they grow and multiply cells. So much so that scientists have shown that it may reduce the incidence of cancer cells by manipulating the cell membrane voltage. Or use these signals to damaged organs are repaired.

Fritos. Eating at least once a week chips, breaded chicken or fish and other foods fried in plenty of oil is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, as well as predisposing to a more aggressive course of the disease, according to researchers recently demonstrated Research Center Fred Hutchinson Cancer U.S.

Accomplices To invade organs, cancer cells often need accomplices. For example, a team of researchers from the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) recently discovered that the ability of colon cancer metastasis to falls in healthy cells surrounding the tumor, called the stroma. In an article disclosed in Cancer Cell, scientists also show that removing the signal of TGF-beta in the stroma may block the induction of metastasis.

Three syndromes caused by videogames

Wiiitis. The term was coined by the Spanish Julio Bonis, Research Group in Biomedical Informatics in Barcelona, ​​in a letter to the journal New England Journal of Medicine in 2007. This is a type of tendonitis , similar to that caused by sports injuries, suffered by those who play virtually tennis, golf, bowling and other sports with the Wii console from Nintendo. The risk of injury is increased in these cases because, as a real sport like tennis dissipates the energy to strike the ball, with the command of the Wii hit the air, and the energy builds up in the joint and tendons. Furthermore, it is inadvisable to use the Wii without a physical warm.

Hidradenitis the PlayStation palmar. described skin disease in 2009 in the journal British Journal of Dermatology by Professor Vincent Piguet, University Hospital of Geneva (Switzerland). The main symptoms are painful irritation and red bumps on the palms of the hands . Specialists suspect appears maintain controlled by firmly game for many hours, which adds to excessive sweating due to the tension of the game. Cured with a few days of "withdrawal."

Computer Vision Syndrome. headache, eyestrain, double vision , difficulty focusing, dry or red eyes, photophobia (intolerance to light) ... are the symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome, recently described by the American Association of Ophthalmology and quite common among those who spend hours playing in front of the screen. One of the possible explanations is the deficit in the blink , because if one person talks while flashes about 22 times per minute, compared to the computer screen alone makes it seven times, increasing eye irritation.

Five things to do for good morning

Lighten
According to a study from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (USA), if you sleep poorly or less than 8 hours and you just get up to go to school or work, is a good idea to expose yourself to light "blue" , as it contributes to meet the challenges of the day and cope better with stress . According to the researchers, the effect is that the blue light accelerates the cortisol awakening response (CAP, for its acronym in English), which prepares us to deal with any contingency and take activity. Thus we pay more, we get depressed less and suffer fewer car accidents , according to the authors concluded in the journal International Journal of Endocrinology .
Burns fat
We burn 20% more fat if you do exercise in the morning with empty stomach if we wait for after breakfast, according to a Northumbria University study published last week in the journal British Journal of Nutrition . Researchers say that, after a night of rest and fasting, the energy we consume comes from playing sports fat . Vaccinated
 If you have to get a vaccine, for example influenza, better do it in the morning. According to a study published in the journal Psychophysiology , at this time the body responds by producing more antibodies. This occurs mostly in adult men whose immune system responds twice as effective at this hour that afternoon. Listen to soothing music
According to a study presented at the meeting of the American Society of Hypertension, classical or Celtic music every morning for 30 minutes reduces blood pressure and maintained at healthy levels during the day. Eat protein
If you include protein at breakfast (eggs, sausage, tuna ...) feel more satisfied throughout the day and your brain produces less signal "pull" toward food and better appetite control, as demonstrated by a study from the University of Missouri (USA) based on magnetic resonance neuroimaging obtained. Moreover, as shown Judith Wurtman, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the brain provided by protein tyrosine , an amino acid that increases the production of neurotransmitters that keep the mind alert and concentration , such as norepinephrine.

Vitamin D and omega-3 Alzheimer's

The vitamin D and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Type -3 omega enhance the ability of the immune system to clear amyloid plaques that are deposited in the brain of patients with Alzheimer , the latter study reveals a computer Researchers at the University of California (USA). In his work, published in the journal Journal of Alzheimer's Disease , scientists have identified genes and signaling networks regulated by these elements, which in turn control the process eliminating inflammation and β-amyloid , the main component of senile plaques that accumulate in persons with the disease. To this end, scientists isolated macrophage of a series of blood samples taken from a group of persons suffering from Alzheimer's . The macrophages are one type of immune system cells that address 'clean' the waste products in the brain and elsewhere in the body. These cells were incubated with β-amyloid plaque-forming compound . The next day was added active forms of vitamin D3 so as DHA, and analyzed their effect on the swelling and the absorption of β-amyloid. Results indicated that both compounds improved the ability of macrophages to engulf `'to the β -amyloid, and also inhibited cell death which usually causes this element. On the other hand, each molecule using different receptors and signaling pathways to accomplish this task. Nevertheless, there are still many steps to take in research. Previous studies have identified two distinct groups of patients with the disease. His inflammatory macrophages express different genes, and thus the effect of vitamin D and omega-3 on these people could be different depending on the group affected. "It is necessary to carefully balance supplementation with vitamin D3 and omega-3 depending on the patient," says Milan Fiala, a researcher.

The Japanese have long had a soft spot for the robotic technique, so that their unconventional ideas in this regard were hardly a surprise to anyone. Another illustration of this is the recent proposal by the Japanese company Takara Tomy, called AutoMee-S . In this case for mini-robot that just a few minutes you can clean without any trace fingerprints, dust and dirt on the screen of a smartphone or tablet, saving its owner quarrel looking microfiber towels and struggling with this thankless task .

Unusual manifestation of robotic cleaners is round propelled widget diameter 7 cm, which is powered by a standard AA battery. To use the device, the smartphone / tablet should be placed on a flat surface and AutoMee-S to put on it. Walking along the surface of a smartphone or tablet gadget completely self cleaning surface, by using the special paper, while the built-in computer system monitors the robot movement and careful not to go beyond the edges of the cleaned equipment.

According to official data, new cleaner robot displays for smartphones and tablets will begin in Japan next month for about $ 16.80. If you happen to have their way to the Land of the Rising Sun and you can invest a small amount in this AutoMee-S, it is still good to keep in mind that the manufacturer (which is actually a specialist in the development and marketing of toys and products for children) assumes no responsibility for any damage that their robot can cause a smartphone or tablet. 

In 2014, may appear and Microsoft Office for Linux?

Since Microsoft provides versions of Office for Linux-based Android OS release of Microsoft Office for Linux seems perfectly logical next step.

After major announcements Office a few days ago and the fact that consumers have yet to get used to the new production packages from Microsoft, probably few people think of what the future of the company's Office product. This, of course, does not apply to redmantskata corporation which already plans to develop further. And the interesting thing is that Microsoft has seen an opportunity to launch its office suite in a version for Linux, according to a online resource Phoronix

In the published information states that during the conferences FOSDEM , a Microsoft representative said that the company is "ambivalent view" about the idea of a Microsoft Office suite for Linux OS. According to preliminary data from the event then, the appearance of this version of the office suite can be expected next in 2014

Unfortunately, so far other details on this are not reported, but the fact that Microsoft Office has at least two very viable and completely free open source alternatives will indeed be interesting to see how the corporation intends to compete. On the other hand, since Microsoft provides versions of Office for iOS and Android , and the last is based on Linux, then release of Microsoft Office for Linux seems perfectly logical next step.

Pomegranate, already known for its health benefits and anti-aging, would be an excellent ally thin! This fruit help less hungry but also to better appreciate the meal.

The more difficult when you want to lose weight is to regulate appetite. Difficult to reduce the proportions, eat light without the famous peckish between meals ... British researchers may have come to find the solution: the grenade ! This fruit native to Asia would conceal thinness unsuspected virtues.
A greater sense of satiety
The study by Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh focused on 29 volunteers. Half of them took a tablet containing extract skin, flesh and seeds of a pomegranate every day for three weeks. The other half of the participants took a placebo. After three weeks, each volunteer drank a glass of pomegranate juice before sitting down to enjoy a plate of pasta with tomato sauce. Before eating, and at intervals of 15 minutes for two hours, participants recorded their feelings of hunger and satisfaction in a questionnaire widely used in scientific studies to measure the feelings and states of mind.

The people who took pomegranate extracts reported feeling less hungry (- 12% compared to others), have less desire to eat (- 21%), have a greater sense of satiety (16%) and are generally more satisfied with their meals (15%). They also ate an average of 22% less than the others and found their food tastier.

An ally in the fight against obesity?
Scientists estimate that the regular consumption of pomegranate extract may reduce the feeling of hunger, while increasing the feeling of satiety .
Dr. Emad Al-Dujaili, who led the research, is delighted: "These results indicate that consumption of pomegranate extract can help to help reduce risk factors for overweight and obesity. "

Liver cancer: lose weight to reduce the risk

Liver cancer is a serious complication of cirrhosis.

"Treat the cause of cirrhosis before the latter expresses is essential, says Dr. Serfaty (Saint-Antoine Hospital, Paris). The risk of liver cancer " is 3 to 4% per year in patients with cirrhosis and overweight plays an aggravating role, especially abdominal fat. This is explained by the fact that fat tissue produces growth factors play a significant role in the growth of tumor cells "Insists Professor Hillon (CHU Dijon).


This risk is even greater than it is a man, that we have passed the 40 years that we have inherited a particular genetic mutation (called the PNPLA3 polymorphism, found in 2-3% of the general population) due to this mutation, the enzyme that breaks down fats in the liver plays less role, where their accumulation at this level. The risk of cancer of the liver is then multiplied by two. "Diabetics who are obese and this polymorphism are at the forefront. Only positive point: they may have less risk of vascular complications, probably because bad fats, which are stored in their liver, do not settle on their vessels, "says Dr. Hillon.

Mediterranean diet
If overweight increases the risk of gastrointestinal cancer in general, on the contrary, weight loss followed with a Mediterranean diet and practicing regular exercise (at least three hours per week) reduces this excess risk . These dietary measures are most useful there are few treatments now capable of preventing the passage of cirrhosis and liver cancer. "Metformin seems well reduce the risk of liver cancer, but this oral antidiabetic may be required in cases of diabetes and is cons-indicated in patients with cirrhosis and liver failure, which greatly limits the interest. About the possible protective effect of statins, it is still a hypothesis studies are underway to learn more, "says Professor Hillon.

To test
Meanwhile, we also monitor the liver closely. And to avoid having to multiply unnecessary liver biopsy (a test that requires several hours then remain elongated and avoid effort in days), simpler tests are developed. "In addition to conventional examinations such as palpation looking for a big hard liver, a blood test to check liver function and coagulation factors are very disturbed and ultrasonography of the liver, others appeared . This is the case of Fibroscan, which is to measure the elasticity of the liver and goes a little like an ultrasound. Or Fibrotest from FibroMeter or Hepascore, based on the measurement of biochemical markers (blood tests), "says Dr. Nalet (Hospital, Montelimar).

These reviews do not replace biopsy, but can better select those who really need it. A step towards better support ...
