SEMI-AUTOMATIC VOLUMETRIC SEGMENTATION OF THE UPPER AIRWAYS IN PATIENTS WITH PIERRE ROBIN SEQUENCE
2014
Pierre Robin malformation is a rare craniofacial dysmorphism whose pathogenesis is multifactorial. Although there is some agreement in non-invasive treatment in less severe cases, the dispute is still open on cases with severe respiratory impairment. We present a semi-automatic novel diagnostic tool for calculating upper airway volume, in order to eventually address surgery in patients with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS). Multidetector CT datasets of two patients and two controls were tested to assess the proposed method for ROI segmentation, upper airway volume computation and three-dimensional reconstructions. The experimental results show an irregular pattern and a severely reduced cross-s…
Mandibular-pelvic-patellar syndrome (mpp) is a novel pitx1-related disorder due to alteration of pitx1 transactivation ability
2020
International audience; PITX1 is a homeobox transcription factor essential for hindlimb morphogenesis. Two PITX1-related human disorders have been reported to date: PITX1 ectopic expression causes Liebenberg syndrome, characterized by malformation of upper limbs showing a "lower limb" appearance; PITX1 deletions or missense variation cause a syndromic picture including clubfoot, tibial hemimelia, and preaxial polydactyly. We report two novel PITX1 missense variants, altering PITX1 transactivation ability, in three individuals from two unrelated families showing a distinct recognizable autosomal dominant syndrome, including first branchial arch, pelvic, patellar, and male genital abnormaliti…

The dry stone wall of 'Paretone dei Greci': an anthracological approach
2011
International audience; Dry stone constructions are a common occurrence in many Mediterranean landscapes. One of these structures known as "Paretone dei Greci" (Taranto, Southern Italy), was subject to an archaeological investigation. Soil and sediment material within this wall, as well as those above and below it, were sampled and processed for archaeobotanical studies. In this manner it was possible to understand its building technique as well as giving it a chronological context. Through an anthracological analysis it was possible to insert the "Paretone" within the surrounding agricultural landscape, thus better highlighting its function in relation to the history of the territory
La pierre pour elle-même. Gestion, statut et perception d'un matériau en Bourgogne à la fin du Moyen Âge
2017
L'observation du parcours de la pierre est l'occasion d'observer les pratiques et la gestion que son emploi impose, le statut qu'elle a pour les bâtisseurs du Moyen Âge dans et hors du chantier. La richesse des sources dijonnaises des XIVe et XVe siècles, et la confrontation des données textuelles et archéologiques, sont l'occasion de réfléchir aux aspects de ce processus. Cet article s'articule autour de trois idées, liées au lieu, à la valeur, et au statut de cette pierre qui n'a plus de lien avec la carrière.
Pierre Boulez: del temps de les utopies
2014
Seria certament difícil pensar avui la història de la música occidental de la segona meitat del segle xx sense la figura de Pierre Boulez. Qualsevol temptativa de revisió històrica que evités esmentar-lo hauria d’aparcar per força tot un capítol de la creació musical recent. Ho va demostrar Célestin Deliège a través dels seus escrits, i no sense raó. Altres hi han vist, en canvi, la institucionalització unívoca de l’avantguarda musical i l’acumulació d’un poder que s’ha exercit des d’una mena de dictadura estètica. Sigui com sigui, el cert és que Boulez ha sabut reunir les figures de compositor, intèrpret, pedagog i gestor cultural alhora que les dotava d’una unitat i d’una coherència incon…

El esqueleto de la viuda Houet: Frenología y medicina legal en Francia durante la década de 1830
2015
This paper deals with the judicial identification of corpses in nineteenth-century France. The case of the widow Houet (1833) is particularly interesting for this purpose because two contrasting techniques of identification were employed: forensic medicine and phrenology. Mateu Orfila, dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, had recently developed a quantitative method for the identification of corpses, which was later regarded as a landmark in nineteenth-century forensic medicine. Pierre-Marie Dumoutier, an outstanding member of the Society of Phrenology, analysed the skull and offered surprising data about the personality of the widow. The episode stirred up controversies on the evidentiar…
Measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 10^18 eV using the Pierre Auger Observatory
2010
We report a measurement of the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision and Statistics using the Pierre Auger Observatory Based on fluorescence observations in coincidence with at least one Surface detector we derive a spectrum for energies above 10(18) eV We also update the previously published energy spectrum obtained with the surface detector array The two spectra are combined addressing the systematic uncertainties and, in particular. the influence of the energy resolution on the spectral shape The spectrum can be described by a broken power law E-gamma with index gamma = 3 3 below the ankle which is measured at log(10)(E-ankle/eV) = 18 6 Above the ankle the spectrum is describe…
