La Société de Biologie de Strasbourg : 100 ans au service de la science et de la société.

Founded in 1919, the Society of Biology of Strasbourg (SBS) is a learned society whose purpose is the dissemination and promotion of scientific knowledge in biology. Subsidiary of the Society of Biology, the SBS celebrated its Centenary on Wednesday, the 16th of October 2019 on the Strasbourg University campus and at the Strasbourg City Hall. This day allowed retracing the various milestones of the SBS, through its main strengths, its difficulties and its permanent goal to meet scientific and societal challenges. The common thread of this day was the transmission of knowledge related to the past, the present, but also the future. At the start of the 21st century, the SBS must continue to reinvent itself to pursue its objective of transmitting scientific knowledge in biology and beyond. Scientific talks performed by senior scientists and former SBS thesis prizes awardees, a round table, and informal discussions reflected the history and the dynamism of the SBS association. All SBS Centennial participants have set the first milestone for the SBS Bicentennial.

TITLE: La Société de Biologie de Strasbourg : 100 ans au service de la science et de la société. ABSTRACT: Filiale de la Société de Biologie, la Société de Biologie de Strasbourg (SBS) est une société savante qui a pour objet la diffusion et la promotion du savoir scientifique en biologie et en médecine. Fondée en 1919, La SBS a célébré son Centenaire le mercredi 16 octobre 2019. Cette journée a permis de retracer les différents jalons de la SBS, à travers ses lignes de forces, ses difficultés et sa volonté permanente de mettre en exergue les défis scientifiques et sociétaux auxquels participent les recherches strasbourgeoises. Le fil rouge de cette journée a été la transmission d'un savoir en lien avec le passé, le présent, mais également le futur. En ce début du 21e siècle, la SBS se doit de continuer de se réinventer pour poursuivre son objectif de transmission des connaissances scientifiques en biologie et au-delà. L'ensemble des participants du Centenaire de la SBS a ainsi posé la première pierre du Bicentenaire de la SBS.

[History of the Strasbourg Society of Biology]. / Histoire de la Société de Biologie de Strasbourg.

The Society of Biology of Strasbourg (SBS) is a learned society that was created in 1919 based on the model of the Society of Biology of which it is a subsidiary. Like its Parisian colleague, SBS aims at diffusing and promoting scientific knowledge in biology. To achieve this goal, SBS initiated since its creation a dialogue interface between researchers in biology and physicians, and more recently with other scientific disciplines, industry and the civil society. At the dawn of its first century, the Society of Biology of Strasbourg must continue to reinvent itself to pursue its development and to fulfil its mission of sharing scientific knowledge. This work continues in strong collaboration with our partners that share with SBS the willingness to foster excellence in biological research in Strasbourg, its region and beyond.

[Birth of the "Social Security" in Alsace-Lorraine]. / Naissance de la Sécurité Sociale en Alsace-Moselle.

For a long time healthy and socially disabled people have been helped by caritative institutions, primarily religious ones, with only occasional involvement of the state. The problem was raised by the economic revolution in the XIXth century, with particular emphasis on the highly industrialized countries, such as Alsace and Lorraine. The development of public healthcare, as well as the help to socially disabled people in these two areas (particularly in the spinning factories of Mulhouse, the iron works and the coal-mines of Moselle) have undoubtedly come before and lead to the social laws that were promulgated between 1883 and 1889 by Bismark and then in France after 1919.

Superinfecçäo e rotura de aneurisma da aorta abdominal por Salmonella dublin: relato de um caso / Superinfection and rupture of abdominal aorta aneurysm by Salmonella dublin: a case report

Os autores relatam o caso de uma paciente que apresentou superinfecçäo e rotura de um aneurisma da aorta abdominal, após septicemia por Salmonella dublin. As infecçöes endovasculares associadas a rotura de aneurismas preexistentes säo um risco potencial nos pacientes acima de 50 anos de idade, que apresentaram uma bacteremia ou septicemia por Salmonella sp. A alta mortalidade da aortite por salmonelose é devida a septicemia grave ou a rotura desses aneurismas. Qualquer tecido orgânico pode ser a sede de infecçöes metastáticas. Porém os locais mais susceptíveis säo os tecidos necróticos e as lesöes crônicas degenerativas. Enfim, os autores discutem a importância do diagnóstico precoce para reduzir a mortalidade dessa entidade
