Rwanda, 1994-2014. Histoire, mémoires et récits

2017

International audience; Un ouvrage choral et transdisciplinaire pour mieux repenser le génocide des Tutsi, au Rwanda comme en France : chercheurs, artistes et témoins présentent un état des savoirs et des réflexions sur le sujet, à travers un ensemble de contributions abordant les problématiques de l'écriture et de la transmission de l'histoire du génocide, de ses dimensions politiques et judiciaires et de ses représentations médiatiques et artistiques.Tandis que les productions artistiques, littéraires et visuelles – cinéma, théâtre, photographie – sur le génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda en 1994 se sont très vite multipliées, l'écriture de l'histoire a dû se frayer un chemin entre les exigence…

Enseigner le génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda de la fin du collège à l'université

2017

International audience; Ouvrage issu de la journée d'étude organisée le 8 octobre 2014 à l'Université de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté"L'objectif d'Enseigner le génocide des Tutsi au Rwanda de la fin du collège à l'université est de présenter un bilan de la recherche où spécialistes, didacticiens, enseignants et artistes témoignent de leurs pratiques de classe, notamment en Histoire, et un questionnement didactique sur les intérêts et les difficultés de cet enseignement. Mais il s'agit surtout de proposer des supports et démarches pédagogiques en Histoire, en Lettres, en Histoire des arts et en Philosophie. Cet ouvrage prend donc le parti de mener une réflexion transversale et pluridisciplinaire…

Measurements of anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter using two Scheimpflug imaging devices.

2014

Purpose: To compare the ocular anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, as measured with two different Scheimpflug imaging devices. Methods: This transversal study included 80 right eyes from 80 subjects aged from 20 to 40 years. Their spherical equivalents ranged from -4.25 to +1.00 diopters (D). Each eye's anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, were measured for far vision using both the Galilei G4 (double Scheimpflug camera) and the Pentacam HR (single Scheimpflug camera) systems. Results: Mean anterior chamber depths were calculated as 3.12 ± 0.23 mm and 3.19 ± 0.24 mm when measured…

Addition of a fixed combination of brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% to prostaglandin monotherapy in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension

2011

Katrin Lorenz1, Klaus Rosbach2, Andreas Matt3, Norbert Pfeiffer11University Medical Center, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Mainz, Germany; 2Private practice, Mainz, Germany; 3Private practice, Köln-Hohenhaus, GermanyBackground: This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of adding a fixed combination of brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% to prostaglandin analog (PGA) monotherapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, pigment dispersion glaucoma, or ocular hypertension who require additional intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction.Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter (n = 5), open-label, single-arm, Phase IV clinical trial in which patients cur…

Nonsurgical Procedures for Keratoconus Management

2017

Objectives. To describe the past 20 years’ correction modalities for keratoconus and their visual outcomes and possible complications.Methods. A review of the published literature related to the visual outcomes and possible complications in the context of keratoconus management using nonsurgical procedures for the last 20 years (glasses and contact lenses) was performed. Original articles that reported the outcome of any correction modalities of keratoconus management were reviewed.Results. The most nonsurgical procedure used on keratoconus management is the contact lens fitting. Soft contact lenses and soft toric contact lenses, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, piggyback contact lens sy…

The influence of storage method on the transparency of pig crystalline lens

2019

Este artículo se ha publicado de forma definitiva en: http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abo/v82n1/0004-2749-abo-82-01-0056.pdf Purpose: The porcine eye is frequently used as a research model. This paper analyzes the effect of different storage methods on the transparency of pig crystalline lens. Methods: A spectral transmission curve (from 220 to 780 nm) for the crystalline lens was determined experimentally after storage in different conditions: saline solution, formalin, castor oil, and freezing at -80°C. The total transmission in the visible spectrum, which was used as an index of transparency, was calculated from these curves. For comparative purposes, fresh lenses were evaluated and used as con…

Outcomes of cataract surgery in diabetic patients: results of the Pan American Collaborative Retina Study Group.

2014

Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the visual and anatomical outcomes after cataract surgery in diabetic patients with different intraoperative therapeutic strategies. Methods: The research design comprised of a multicentric, retrospective, interventional study conducted at 6 centers in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Venezuela. We included 138 diabetic patients with at least 6-month follow-up following phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central subfield thickness were collected at baseline and at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up. Of these, 42 cases were not treated with any intraoperative coadjuva…

Retroespalhamento luminoso das córneas de pacientes com diabete melito dependente e não dependente de insulina: estudo piloto

2017

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare central corneal backscatter obtained from Scheimpflug images between patients with insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM and NIDDM, respectively) and healthy controls. Methods: Seven patients with IDDM (7 eyes), eleven patients with NIDDM (11 eyes), and sixteen healthy subjects (16 eyes) were included in this pilot study. Scheimpflug imaging system (Pentacam, Oculus Inc., Germany) was used to obtain optical sections of the cornea. Seven meridians were analyzed for each eye, oriented from 70° to 110°. Optical density values for the central 3-mm and 5-mm zones of the cornea were obtained by image analysis using external software. Resu…

Refractive lens exchange with a multifocal diffractive aspheric intraocular lens

2012

PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety, efficacy and predictability after refractive lens exchange with multifocal diffractive aspheric intraocular lens implantation. METHODS: Sixty eyes of 30 patients underwent bilateral implantation with AcrySof® ReSTOR® SN6AD3 intraocular lens with +4.00 D near addition. Patients were divided into myopic and hyperopic groups. Monocular best corrected visual acuity at distance and near and monocular uncorrected visual acuity at distance and near were measured before and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS: After surgery, uncorrected visual acuity was 0.08 ± 0.15 and 0.11 ± 0.14 logMAR for the myopic and hyperopic groups, respectively (50% and 46.67% of patients ha…
