Hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for lung malignancies by means of helical tomotherapy: report of feasibility by a single-center expe…
2018
Background: Several experiences in the literature report SBRT as an effective treatment option for medically inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and oligometastatic disease. The optimal fractionation schedules and total dose remain controversial. In this study, we evaluated the safety in terms of toxicity and efficacy of using of 8â10 fractions schedules with Helical Tomotherapy (HT) for primary and metastatic lung lesions. Methods: Between March 2014 and May 2016, a total of 39 patients (median age 72 years, range 26â91) were treated with HT-SBRT for malignant lung lesions: 22 patients with early stage NSCLC, 17 with oligometastases. Patients received 8â10 fract…
The Potential Role of Lung Ultrasound B-Lines for Detection of Lung Radio-Induced Toxicity in Breast Cancer Patients after Radiation Therapy.
2016
Breast cancer patients exposed to doses of radiation after radiotherapy could develop toxicity to lung. Lung ultrasound (LUS) is able to detect interstitial lung disease by the evaluation of B-lines. The aim of our study was to assess the number of B-lines to diagnose lung involvement after chest radiotherapy.We measured LUS B-lines in the treated and contralateral lung of 20 breast cancer patients, 1-3 months after the end of radiotherapy and 1 year after previous LUS. The sum of the B-lines number in the 72 sites on anterior and posterior chest yielded a global B-lines score.B-lines were more numerous in treated (median: 21; 1st-3rd quartiles: 11-31) versus untreated hemithorax (median: 3…
The Use of Landmarks to Describe Ammonite Shap
1999
The use of landmarks and geometrical morphometric techniques is illustrated with examples from the Harpoceratinae (Ammonitina). This approach is useful in analysing morphological variations of characters such as rib pattern or ventral shape on the scale of the genus or species. It can be used to map forms so that similarities and dissimilarities between organisms can be read and quantified directly.
Existe-t-il une crise au passage Lias-Dogger chez les ammonites? Approche morphometrique par quantification de la disparite morphologique
2001
Abstract Morphological changes observed in ammonites at the Lias-Dogger (Toarcian-Aalenian) boundary are analyzed here. The study covers all known ammonites worldwide over some 2 m.y. (the last two biozones of the Toarcian: Pseudoradiosa and Aalensis and the first biozone of the Aalenian: Opalinum). Ammonite taxonomy at this boundary is still open to question, the main disagreements being over groupings at family or super-family level. The evolutionary schema developed by Tintant and Mouterde [1981] shows two main sets of Ammonitina for the time: (1) the dominant Hammatocerataceae (Graphoceratidae+Hammatoceratidae) and (2) the final representatives of the Hildocerataceae. Two conservative a…
World distribution of middle Jurassic ammonites (Upper Aalenian to Middle Bathonian): relationships between biodiversity and palaeogeography
2004
Abstract The break up of the Pangea takes place in the Jurassic; the palaeoceanographic consequences are the opening of seaways, particularly at the place of the future Atlantic and Indian oceanic areas. During the Toarcian, and from the late Aalenian to the middle Bathonian, the so-called “Hispanic corridor” (or “Atlantic seaway”) exists between the “western Tethys” and the “American Pacific border”, through the “Caribbean Tethys”. Two additional seaways which play as by-passes of the Pangea are proposed, one along the northern border of Laurasia (Boreal sea), and a second along the southern border of Gondwana (South Pacific Sea); however, if these two last could be effectively used for fa…

La sentenza della Grande Camera della Corte europea dei diritti umani nel caso S.A.S. c. Francia: una 'sentenza-monito', ma di che tipo?
2015
L'articolo commenta la sentenza S.A.S. c. Francia in cui la Corte EDU ha stabilito che la legge francese 2010-1192, che proibisce la coperura del viso in tutti i luoghi pubblici, non viola il diritto delle donne di religione musulmana di indossare il burqa e il Niqab. Il commento si concentra in particolare sulla questione del valore giuridico che può essere atttribuito ad alcuni "moniti" che la Corte indirizza alla Francia in questa sentenza, i quali sembrano difficilmente collocabili nel solco della precedente giurisprudenza della Corte. In the judgment S.A.S. versus France the ECtHR held that the French law «prohibiting the concealment of one’s face in public spaces» does not violate the…
Key advantages of the leverage points perspective to shape human-nature relations
2021
This perspective paper synthesises the special issue 'Human-nature connectedness as a leverage point for sustainability transformation'. Based on the articles in this special issue, we aim to foster the operationalisation of the leverage points perspective to shape human-nature relations to enable sustainability transformations. Specifically, we draw on four key advantages of the leverage points perspective: (i) the explicit recognition of deep leverage points; (ii) the ability to examine the interactions between shallow and deep system changes; (iii) the combination of causal and teleological modes of research; and (iv) the ability to function as a methodological boundary object. The contr…
Leptechioceras (Neomicroceras) Donovan, 1966 (Ammonitina, Echioceratidae, Sinémurien, Europe du Nord-Ouest): Taxon progénétique ou microconque?
1992
Resume Des faunes d'ammonites inedites collectees banc par banc dans des series epaisses a dominante argileuse duSinemurien terminal du Bassin parisien (Cher, France) sont decrites. Certains des peuplements etudies sont esentiellement constitues d'ammonites de petite taille attribuees au sous-genre Leptechioceras (Neomicroceras) ; le rattachement de ces formes aux Echioceratidae, alors qu'elles etaient initialement interpretees comme des Eoderoceratidae, est base sur des arguments cladistiques et est confirme par les observations stratigraphiques. Une nouvelle espece, la plus tardive du sous-genre, Leptechioceras (Neomicroceras) sparsicosta est decrite. L'originalite en termes d'heterochron…
