Adult Coats’ Disease Successfully Managed with the Dexamethasone Intravitreal Implant (Ozurdex®) Combined with Retinal Photocoagulation
2012
Purpose: To report a case of Coats’ disease managed with the dexamethasone intravitreal implant Ozurdex® (Allergan, Inc., Irvine, Calif., USA) combined with retinal photocoagulation. Methods: A 46-year-old female with 20/200 visual acuity was diagnosed with Coats’ disease with secondary retinal vasoproliferative tumor. An initial approach was performed with an intravitreal injection of the sustained-release dexamethasone implant Ozurdex. After reattachment of the retina, the telangiectatic vessels were treated with laser photocoagulation. Results: The patient’s visual acuity improved to 20/25 after the intravitreal Ozurdex. No further recurrences of exudation were evident through the 12-mon…
Serous Macular Detachment Associated with Dome-Shaped Macula and Tilted Disc
2011
Introduction: An entirely new type of staphyloma has been recently described as dome-shaped macula (DSM). It is characterized by an abnormal convex macular contour within the concavity of a posterior staphyloma. We found DSM associated with serous macular detachment (SMD) and tilted disc in two consecutive cases. Case Reports: Case 1: A 37-year-old female presented to our department because of sudden onset blurred vision in her right eye (OD). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.5 in both eyes. Funduscopy evidenced bilateral tilted disc associated with posterior staphyloma. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated a DSM with SMD in her OD. After 15 months of follow-up, BCVA…
Delayed-Onset Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome Presenting as Oesophageal Peptic Stricture
2012
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is an infrequent cause of vomiting and weight loss due to compression of the third part of the duodenum by the SMA. We describe the case of a 17-year-old woman, admitted to our department for progressive dysphagia and severe weight loss due to an oesophageal peptic stricture, caused by chronic acid reflux secondary to duodenal compression by the SMA. Symptoms improved after (par)enteral nutrition and repeated oesophageal dilatation, thus supporting the role of intensive medical and endoscopic intervention as an alternative to surgery, at least in some cases.
Obesity and functional gait recovery after total hip and total knee arthroplasties : clinical and biomechanical analysis
2018
Introduction : Body Mass Index (BMI) impact on gait recovery after total hip and total knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) remains misunderstood. Few studies have analyzed the influence of BMI on the recovery of hip and knee range of motion (ROM) during gait or walking speed after THA and TKA. Our objective was to assess this impact preoperatively and post-operatively using both 3D gait analysis and clinical assessment. Our hypothesis was that obesity (BMI> 30kg /m2) would be a negative factor in the recovery of gait parameters.Material and methods: After conducting a systematic review of the literature on functional recovery after total prostheses of the lower limb (THA and TKA) to ensure the …
Educational attainment and permanence in NEET situation among youth
2018
Using the French Labour Force Survey, this paper analyses the individual and institutional effects on the transitions into and out of NEET status before and after the crisis. In particular, we question whether the profiles or the labour market transition patterns of young people have changed since the economic crisis. The econometric results indicate that the NEET risks vary according to age, sex, educational level and social origins. They also show that the transition out of NEET status is more related to the educational attainment, after 2008. Conversely, the lack of human capital and social capital increases the retention of youth in NEET situations.
El cambio en la epistemologia y en la práctica docente de profesores universitarios de química.
2008
Esta Tesis Doctoral fundamenta los problemas tratados desde el cuerpo de conocimientos elaborado en la investigación en Didáctica de las Ciencias Experimentales. La situación de partida que justifica esta investigación, tienen que ver con el hecho que desde este cuerpo de conocimientos, uno de los factores que más ha impactado en la Formación inicial y continuada de Profesores, ha sido plantearse y reflexionar argumentadamente sobre todo aquello que hemos de saber y saber hacer los profesores de ciencias. En la actualidad, hay un consenso generalizado por considerar con toda atención la formación de profesores si queremos que en un amplio número puedan llevarse a las aulas de clase los abun…
Estudios sobre la familia de problemas aritmético-algebraicos
2008
La resolución de problemas de matemáticas en los sistemas educativos es el campo de trabajo de la tesis, esta consta de estudios teóricos y empíricos sobre los problemas de la familia de problemas aritmético-algebraicos.En los estudios teóricos se consideran los elementos del problema: cantidades y relaciones entre ellas y se describe la estructura de un problema mediante un diagrama producido por el método de análisis- síntesis o por medio de grafos trinomiales que representan una lectura analítica del enunciado del problema. A partir de la descripción estructural se considera el carácter aritmético o algebraico del problema, cuando dos problemas dados son isomorfos y se describen diversas…
Workshop DSSM. Numeri e marchi
2009
Solo chi ha letto le pagine di Flatlandia può comprendere l’emozione provata nello scoprire che esiste, seppure in una estensione puramente matematica, uno spazio in cui vi sono più delle sole tre dimensioni che hanno accompagnato, e continuano diligentemente a farlo, tutte le nostre esperienze di vita e lavoro. Ho sempre pensato il concetto di armonia, che i numeri sanno raccontare meglio di ogni altro, come stabile residente dell’universo matematico, dove accadono strane cose. Alcuni numeri ad esempio, tutt’altro che grigi e monotoni impiegati statali, sono un po’ svagati, e uscendo di casa per compiere delle commissioni, finiscono per perdersi nelle loro passeggiate aleatorie. Molti altr…
Le "vrai portrait" du Grand Comte Roger. De Florence à la Sicile: aux origines d'une équivoque
2006
Partendo da due dipinti pressoché identici del XVII secolo conservati a Patti (ME) e Troina (EN), che raffigurano il ritratto ideale del Gran Conte Ruggero Hauteville, protagonista della liberazione della Sicilia dal dominio islamico, se ne è riconosciuto il modello in un dipinto di Cristofano Allori firmato e datato 1590, oggi agli Uffizi ma proveniente dalla Badia Fiorentina, avente per soggetto il Marchese Ugo di Toscana. Il saggio propone inoltre di riferire le opere siciliane al medesimo pittore e alla comune committenza del vescovo Vincenzo Napoli (+1648). Starting from two almost identical paintings from the 17th century preserved in Patti (ME) and Troina (EN), which depict the ideal…
L’organisation des circuits courts par les intermédiaires.
2016
The dissertation deals with the institutionalisation of proximity in agri-food markets and the place occupied in this process by non-economic intermediaries (employees of associations, researchers, members of staff from the ministry of Agriculture, advisers of the chambers of agriculture). By varying the scales of investigation, from the national to the departmental level, and by articulating qualitative and quantitative methods, this work points out the paradox that constitute the development of those intermediary agents, as proximity is progressively defined and objectified as a virtuous component of the merchant relationship. On the basis of a sociology of merchant institutions attentive…
