BEFORE WORLD WAR II there were no regular international physics conferences, with the notable exception of seven « SOLVAY COUNCILS ». The first Council in 1911 was the result of a miraculous chain of events. Impressed by Einstein’s specific heat paper, Nernst wanted its quantum basis to be discussed by international experts. By a series of coincidences the planned « summit » was convened by Solvay, the Belgian industrialist and Maecenas. Thanks to chairman Lorentz, the meeting was so successful that to this day similar Councils have been convened by the International Physics Institute, founded by Solvay and supported by his family. Lorentz chaired five Councils that testify to the transition from classical to modern physics. The first stimulated the physicists’ interest in the quantum problem. The fifth, in 1927, solved the problem by marking, according to Heisenberg, the completion of Quantum Mechanics. The book focuses on the personal relations between the physicists who actively participated in the quantum revolution. These relations came under great strain during the Great War, but the Councils survived thanks to Lorentz’s and Solvay’s faith in the universality of science.

Background: Since a few years, the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become the most performed bariatric operation worldwide. However, as with all bariatric procedures, SG also leads to vitamin and mineral deficiencies post-operatively and standard multivitamin supplements are probably not sufficient. Objective: The present study evaluates the effectiveness of a specialized multivitamin supplement for SG patients (WLS Optimum 1.0, FitForMe, Rotterdam, the Netherlands), compared to a standard multivitamin supplement (sMVS). Design: A double-blind randomized controlled trial was performed. For 12 months, patients in the intervention group received WLS Optimum, containing elevated doses of multiple vitamins and minerals. Patients in the control group were provided with sMVS, containing 100% of the recommended dietary allowance. Results: In total, 139 patients were available for analysis (WLS Optimum, n = 69; sMVS, n = 70). Intention-to-treat analyses revealed more folic acid deficiencies and higher serum vitamin B1 levels in the WLS Optimum group. Per protocol analyses showed that in patients using WLS Optimum, serum folic acid and vitamin B1 levels were higher, serum PTH levels were lower, and only one patient (2.6%) was anemic compared to 11 patients (17.5%) using a sMVS (p < 0.05 for all). No differences were found in prevalence of deficiencies for iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and other vitamins and minerals. Conclusions: This optimized multivitamin supplement only affected serum levels of folic acid, PTH and vitamin B1, and anemia rates compared to a sMVS. There is a clear need to further optimize multivitamin supplementation for SG patients. Besides, non-compliance with multivitamin supplements remains an important issue that should be dealt with. Clinical Trial Registry: The study protocol was registered at the clinical trials registry of the National Institutes of Health (ClinicalTrials.gov; identifier NCT01609387).

Les conférences de physique sont nombreuses aujourd'hui. Avant la deuxième guerre mondiale le débat international se limitait pour l'essentiel aux discussions qui avaient lieu aux Conseils Solvay. Ce livre retrace l'histoire du Conseil de 1911 - un « sommet » hautement improbable - et celle de la création d'un Institut international de physique (l'IIPS) chargé d'organiser de nouveaux Conseils et de subsidier des projets de recherche sélectionnés par des scientifiques de premier plan (tels que Marie Curie, Lorentz, Nernst et Rutherford). L'incroyable passion de Solvay pour la science (amplifiée par une foi inébranlable en ses propres conceptions) et le concours inespéré qu'il obtint de Lorentz furent à la base du succès de l'aventure. C'est grâce aux efforts de Lorentz et à la décision de Solvay de ne pas exclure formellement les physiciens allemands et autrichiens que l'IIPS eut la chance inouïe de survivre à la Grande Guerre. Le Conseil de 1927 rouvrit ses portes aux experts issus des Empires centraux et marqua de manière éclatante la naissance de la Mécanique des quanta. Lorentz étant décédé en 1928, la direction de l'IIPS fut confiée à P. Langevin, un vétéran du Conseil de 1911.

Background: Studies in mice have shown that PPARα is an important regulator of lipid metabolism in liver and a key transcription factor involved in the adaptive response to fasting. However, much less is known about the role of PPARα in human liver. Here we set out to study the function of PPARα in human liver via analysis of whole genome gene regulation in human liver slices treated with the PPARα agonist Wy14643.
