International audience; The fall of the Communist regime in Albania in 1991 caused a massive rural urban migration along the coast. The main objective of this paper was to investigate the impact of this phenomenon on agricultural land use in the northeastern region of the country, most affected by migration. A comprehensive approach was adopted based on a survey of 594 families that had migrated into the area around Tirana. The results were analysed focussing on three main issues: 1) the dynamics of families’ settlement in the area around Tirana in the period 1990-2000, 2) the main features of the 1991 agrarian reform (law 7501) applied in the northeastern region, and 3) the limited use of the agricultural land in the migrants’ area of origin (43% of uncultivated land in the Northeast). The agricultural land is not generally sold nor rented: it is temporarily assigned to the family members who have not migrated.; La chute du gouvernement communiste en 1991 en Albanie a entraîné un exode rural massif vers les grandes villes du littoral. L’objectif principal de la recherche est d’étudier l’impact de ce phénomène sur l’utilisation des terres agricoles dans la région du Nord-est qui a été particulièrement touchée. L’analyse est menée avec une approche compréhensive à partir d’une enquête effectuée auprès de 594 familles issues de l’exode rural et s’étant installées autour de Tirana. Les résultats sont présentés en trois points : (1) la dynamique d’installation des familles autour de Tirana entre 1990 et 2000, (2) les spécificités de la réforme agraire de 1991 (loi 7501) dans le Nord-est albanais et (3) la faible utilisation des terres agricoles dans les zones d’origine de l’exode (43% non cultivés dans le Nord-est). Les terres ne sont généralement ni vendues ni louées : elles restent en attente, confiées à des membres de la famille n’ayant pas migré.

Dysimmune neuropathies encompass an acute form, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and mainly 3 chronic forms: chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy, and polyneuropathy associated with anti-MAG (myelin-associated-glycoprotein) IgM monoclonal gammopathy. Recent concepts have concerned both incidence and mortality rates, and better scoring system for predict outcome in GBS, but new therapeutical strategy is needed for the so-called "benign" forms and for relapsing forms after first-line IVIg therapy. In chronic forms, criteria for diagnosis and guidelines for management have been edited in the recent years, together with recommendations for outcome measures. However, there is still a need for knowing the better outcome measures, and to elaborate new trials, mainly focusing on the long-term management of the patients.
