The campomelic syndrome: review, report of 17 cases, and follow-up on the currently 17-year-old boy first reported by Maroteaux et al in 1971.

1983

We report 17 cases of the campomelic syndrome (CS) and a follow-up of one of the original patients of Maroteaux et al who is now 17 years old. Our review is based on 97 patients, including our own. An infant with the CS presents at birth with spectacularly short and bowed femora and tibiae. The initial chest radiograph confirms the diagnosis by demonstrating extremely small bladeless scapulae and hypoplastic pedicles of many thoracic vertebrae. Ossification of the sternal segments, pubis, talus, and knee epiphyses is also retarded. Usually the hips are dislocated and talipes equinovarus deformities are present. There is a small chondrocranium and a disproportionately large neurocranium. The…

Novel Digital Technique to Quantify the Area and Volume of Cement Remaining and Enamel Removed after Fixed Multibracket Appliance Therapy Debonding: …

2020

The aim of this study was to construct a novel, repeatable, reproducible, and accurate measurement protocol for the area and volume of the remaining cement after removal of fixed multibracket appliances, the area and volume of remaining cement after cement removal, the area and volume of enamel removed after cement removal, and the volume of cement used to adhere fixed multibracket appliances. A total of 30 brackets were cemented and removed with over 30 extracted teeth embedded into three experimental models of epoxy resin. The models were scanned before and after bracket placement, bracket debonding, and polishing the remaining cement. The brackets were submitted to micro-computed tomogra…

Association between Serum Osteoprotegerin Levels and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

2021

International audience; Background. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily, is one of the main biomarkers for vascular calcification. Aim. We aimed to evaluate the association between serum OPG levels and extent of coronary lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods. Consecutive patients hospitalized for an acute MI who underwent coronary angiography were included. SYNTAX score was calculated to assess the severity of coronary artery disease. The population was analysed in low (5 (3–6)), medium (11 (9–13)) and high (20 (18–23)) tertiles of SYNTAX score. Results. Among the 378 patients included, there was a gradual increa…

La dimension musicale des textes des troubadours

2016

Saggio di complemento alla traduzione francese della grande antologia di testi trobadorici curata nel 1975 da Martin de Riquer. Si tratta di una introduzione alla tradizione musicale dei trovatori in cui si cerca di integrare la prospettiva musicologica a quella filologico-letteraria. Il saggio è articolato in tre paragrafi: 1. "Filologi e musicologi", in cui si discutono le diverse posizioni dei due ambiti disciplinari riguardo alle melodie dei trovatori; 2. "Tradizione scritta delle melodie", in cui si illustrano le modalità di trasmissione dei testi musicali con particolare riguardo alla tradizione stravagante e indiretta di melodie trobadoriche; 3. "Tipi musicali, generi poetici, genera…

Management of Statin Intolerance in 2018: Still More Questions Than Answers.

2018

Statin therapy is generally well tolerated and very effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, regardless of cholesterol levels; however, it can be associated with various adverse events (myalgia, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and diabetes mellitus, among others). Patients frequently discontinue statin therapy without medical advice because of perceived side effects and consequently increase their risk for cardiovascular events. In patients with statin intolerance, it may be advisable to change the dose, switch to a different statin, or try an alternate-day regimen. If intolerance is associated with all statins—even at the lowest dose—non-statin drugs and certain nutra…

Three-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction in patients with different diabetic status

2021

Introduction: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) is estimated at about 25%. Short and long-term prognoses are worse in DM and hyperglycemia compared with non-diabetics. Objectives: Our aim was to analyze the impact of DM and transient hyperglycemia on in-hospital complications and long-term outcomes in MI patients. Patients and Methods: We evaluated a prospective cohort of 58,394 MI patients in the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome in terms of in-hospital complications and 30-day, 12-month, and 36-month outcomes between 2009–2012. Results: Type 1 and 2 DM patients underwent invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures less frequen…

Äitimyyttejä ja äitisubjekteja. Sukupuolen ja kansallisuuden representaatio saamelaisessa lyriikassaa

2013

Äitiyden teema nousee usein esille saamelaisessa nykylyriikassa. Tässä artikkelissa käsitellään neljän saamelaisrunoilijan tuotantoa, jossa esiintyy monenlaisia äitihahmoja: Äiti maa, muinaiset naisjumalat, äitiyttä himoitseva nainen ja väsynyt äiti. Äitiys-kuvasto saa runoissa symbolisia ja kansallisia merkityksiä, mutta yhtä lailla se peilaa naisen yksilöllistä, sensuaalista kokemusta. peerReviewed

Du "non-public" d’un Centre de culture scientifique aux appropriations des sciences et techniques

2011

National audience; Dans le cadre d'une recherche de doctorat, nous abordons la place et l'image du musée parmi d'autres pratiques culturelles consacrées aux sciences et tech- niques, dans le quotidien des publics et des « non-publics » de la structure. En proposant une analyse centrée sur les publics individuels des expositions mais aussi des manifestations hors-les-murs, nous nous interrogeons sur les formes d'appropriations non-formelles et informelles des sciences et techniques, et sur la mise en perspective de la visite de ce type d'institution muséale, en mobilisant de façon complémentaire des techniques d'enquêtes quantitatives (question- naires, statistiques) et qualitatives (entreti…
