Trends in excess mortality in follicular lymphoma at a population level
2015
Background Since the 1990s and since the development of humanised monoclonal antibodies in 1998, the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma has undergone profound changes. Follicular lymphoma (FL) was the first to benefit from this treatment, and several clinical trials have shown a significant improvement in overall survival, but little information is available at a population level. Objective Our objective was to estimate changes in FL-specific mortality at a population level, with an appropriate methodology. Methods Two French retrospective population-based studies on FL were conducted, one from 1995 to 2004, in 1477 patients, and one from 1995 to 2010, in 451 patients. Trends in excess morta…
Arcadio Blasco: : Cinco esculturas urbanas (1986-1991)
2013
Con las primeras elecciones municipales democráticas en España después del franquismo, los nuevos ayuntamientos establecieron programas para reconstruir las ciudades españolas. Un aspecto de estos proyectos fue la creación de espacios públicos donde la gente pudiera encontrarse en un ambiente agradable. Estas áreas se cerraron al tránsito y se amueblaron con árboles, bancos y un nuevo tipo de esculturas artísticas. En la zona de Alicante, el ceramista Arcadio Blasco, ya conocido en Madrid y en Roma, creó cinco monumentos urbanos de gran escala. Después de veinte años, el destino de cada escultura ha sido diferente: alguna permanece en buenas condiciones, pero otras han sido tratadas de tal …

Beatas sojuzgadas por el clero: la imagen de las mujeres en el discurso anticlerical en la España del primer tercio del siglo XX
2003
En los últimos años la historia cultural ha llamado la atención sobre la importancia de la representación, principalmente por sus repercusiones en la construcción de identidades individuales y colectivas y por sus implicaciones en el terreno político. Este artículo analiza cómo representaba a las mujeres el discurso anticlerical difundido por la prensa republicana y obrera en la España del primer tercio del siglo XX, y qué imágenes gráficas se utilizaban para ilustrarlo. Muestra que existía un antifeminismo de izquierdas basado en el anticlericalismo, cuyos efectos políticos se hicieron especialmente visibles durante la II República, en la medida en que sirvió para cuestionar el reconocimie…
Inside the Thompson laboratory during the “cerebellar years” and the continuing cerebellar story
2011
This paper is based on the talk by one of the authors (DL) given at the symposium for the retirement of RF Thompson (RF Thompson: A bridge between 20th and 21st century neuroscience). We first make some informal observations of the historical times and research conditions in the Thompson laboratory when the cerebellum was found to play a critical role in eye lid classical conditioning, the "cerebellar years". These conditions influenced our collaborative international program on the phenomenon known as "transfer of training" or "savings". Our research shows that the appearance of "savings" is an artifact of the order of testing, and depends upon the functioning of the contralateral interpos…
The neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses: A historical introduction
2013
AbstractThe neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (Batten disease) collectively constitute one of the most common groups of inherited childhood onset neurodegenerative disorders, and have also been identified in many domestic and laboratory animals. The group of human neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses currently comprises 14 genetically distinct disorders, mostly characterised by progressive mental, motor and visual deterioration with onset in childhood or adolescence. Abnormal autofluorescent, electron-dense granules accumulate in the cytoplasm of nerve cells, and this storage process is associated with selective destruction and loss of neurons in the brain and retina. The present paper outlines near…
El 'Journal du voleur' de Jean Genet. Una experiencia literaria sin voluntad de recepción
2017
La experiencia literaria de Jean Genet está marcada por el aislamiento y la soledad de la cárcel. La experiencia del mal a través del crimen y la búsqueda de la virtud están presentes en el Journal du voleur. En el presente artículo estudiamos algunos de los aspectos estéticos que se observan en una escritura que es practicada como ascesis y que se manifiesta en una obra que no presenta voluntad de recepción alguna, pero que la encuentra paradójicamente a través de una canonización involuntaria. Jean Genet’s literary experience is marked by the isolation and loneliness of jail. The experience of evil through crime and the pursuit of virtue are both present everywhere in the Journal du voleu…
Tecniche costruttive antisismiche in Calabria tra la fine dell'Ottocento e l'inizio del Novecento,
2016
La presente memoria intende indagare lo sviluppo delle costruzioni antisismiche in Calabria in un periodo compreso tra gli anni Ottanta dell'Ottocento e i primi anni del Novecento. Lo studio è incentrato sulle tecniche costruttive adottate nelle ricostruzioni post-terremoto realizzate in un periodo immediatamente antecedente il sisma che colpì Messina e Reggio Calabria nel 1908, dopo il quale si registra un progressiva affermazione della tecnologia del cemento armato. In questo arco cronologico si assiste a un notevole sviluppo degli studi nel campo della costruzione antisismica, con una prevalente riproposizione di sistemi costruttivi tradizionali e con le prime sperimentazioni sul cemento…
Teaching Language and Literature: A Question of Balance?
2015
Abstract Regarding the teaching of Catalan, four textbooks were created in the 1970s and 80s, which included a complete work of literature, with numerous grammar and lexical commentaries, and exercises about the literary text. The author who is the link between these books is the grammarian Albert Jane i Riera, a writer and linguist who has been a leading figure in Catalan culture as the editor of the children's magazine Cavall Fort . Our aim with this synchronic and diachronic study is to vindicate the importance of the educational proposals we have analysed, as well as the appropriateness and the need of teaching language and literature to regain and consolidate their mutually enriching r…
