The compliance modelling of the pathology aorta of the type of aneurism

2015

The Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm (AAA) is a pathology that is defined by a localized and permanent dilation of the artery and which involves over 8.8% of the seniors. Currently, when a patient has a dilatation of the aorta leading to a surgery because of the rupture risk, the therapeutic decision is made depending on the diameter of the aneurysm. To determine this diameter, it is usually conducted an examination by medical imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI...). However, it notes that the diagnosis can’t be satisfied with a single dimensional measurement face to induced risks: first of all, when the diameter exceed a certain growth, the risk of rupture can reach 50% but more than 5% of surgical proce…

Intercomparison between MRI and stereovision/PIV measurements for diagnosis of aorta pathologies

2015

International audience; The objective of the study is to validate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to perform measurements of deformations and internal flow of an aortic phantom with aneurysm. An in-vitro measurement experimental device to simulate blood flow was developed. It was tested within MRI and within stereovision and particle image velocimetry (PIV) devices. The measurement results are well correlated and can be used to establish a preoperative diagnosis based on computed parietal stresses with a finite element model (FEM).

Combined Therapy of Interferon Plus Ribavirin Promotes Multiple Adaptive Solutions in Hepatitis C Virus

2009

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) presents several regions involved potentially in evading antiviral treatment and host immune system. Two regions, known as PKR-BD and V3 domains, have been proposed to be involved in resistance to interferon. Additionally, hypervariable regions in the envelope E2 glycoprotein are also good candidates to participate in evasion from the immune system. In this study, we have used a cohort of 22 non-responder patients to combined therapy (interferon alpha-2a plus ribavirin) for which samples obtained just before initiation of therapy and after 6 or/and 12 months of treatment were available. A range of 25-100 clones per patient, genome region and time sample were obtained…

Legge dei popoli e paradisi fiscali

2018

In questo articolo, si argomenta che la Law of Peoples di John Rawls è uno strumento utile per affrontare il problema etico-giuridico della tassazione del capitale mobile delle multinazionali. In particolare si mostra come l'opera di Rawls1) parta dall’accettazione della pretesa dei singoli stati di esercitare i loro poteri di sovranità fiscale senza però produrre esternalità negative sugli stessi poteri attribuiti agli altri stati , 2) giustifichi la preferenza per affrontare problemi di giustizia globale di strumenti regolativi (una coordinata regolazione minima della tassazione sui redditi delle società multinazionali, e una istituzione di controllo e di risoluzione delle controversie an…

Parent of origin effects in attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): analysis of data from the international multicenter ADHD genetics (IMAGE…

2008

Contains fulltext : 71540.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) There are conflicting reports suggesting that the parental origin of transmitted risk alleles may play a role in the etiology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A recent report by Hawi and colleagues observed a generalized paternal over-transmission of alleles associated with ADHD. This was not replicated in more recent studies. Using data from a large multicenter study we examined the overall and gene-specific parent of origin effect in 554 independent SNPs across 47 genes. Transmission disequilibrium and explicit parent of origin test were performed using PLINK. Overall parent of origin effect was tested…

Migmatites in the Ivrea Zone (NW Italy): Constraints on partial melting and melt loss in metasedimentary rocks from Val Strona di Omegna

2013

Abstract The mid to lower crustal metamorphic field gradient through amphibolite and granulite facies rocks in the Ivrea Zone offers the potential to study partial melting and melt loss in the crust. Metapelitic rocks in Val Strona di Omegna show a progressive evolution in migmatite structures from metatexites with rare isolated leucosome veins in the amphibolite facies rocks to stromatic migmatites and diatexites in granulite facies rocks. Little field or petrographic evidence for melting can be seen on crossing the position of the modelled wet solidus, consistent with the small amounts of melt predicted to occur by H2O-saturated melting. The first field evidence for partial melting, in th…

Circulating immune complexes in Fièvre boutonneuse.

1985

Circulating immune complexes (CIC) occurred in 36% of a group of 25 patients with Fièvre boutonneuse. CIC were present only in the first week of the disease and there was no evidence of other humoral immunological abnormalities or alterations of the coagulation factors studied. The presence of CIC was not associated with a more severe clinical manifestation or with symptoms or tissue injuries. It is considered that CIC do not play a major role in Fièvre boutonneuse.

Long-term deformation and fluid-enhanced mass transport in a Variscan peridotite shear zone in the Ivrea Zone, northern Italy: a microtextural, petro…

1995

The microtextural, petrological and geochemical study of a ductile shear zone in the phlogopite peridotite of Finero/Ivrea Zone (northern Italy) reveals the long-term deformation of this zone. The zone is divided into a protomylonitic and an ultramylonitic part. Both parts reflect different periods of deformation, although the orientation of the mineral lineations does not change. In the coarse-grained part (period 1) the deformation started under granulite facies conditions (about 775°C). Olivine, ortho- and clinopyroxene and phlogopite recrystallized dynamically. In the ultramylonitic part relics of the granulite facies event and evidence for a continuous or two-stage deformation history …
