Whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (WB‐MRI) in lymphoma: State of the art
2019
The improvements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology and the concern related to the increased cancer risk in patients with lymphoma, also due to radiation exposure associated with imaging examinations, have led to the introduction of whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) as a radiation-free alternative to standard imaging procedures. WB-MRI seems a less histology-dependent functional imaging test than 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT (18 F-FDG-PET/CT). In patients with FDG-avid lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), 18 F-FDG-PET/CT remains the imaging reference standard for staging, with WB-MRI potentially being a complementar…
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up of multicentric infantile myofibromatosis: A case report
2017
Myofibromatosis is an uncommon disorder of infancy, characterized by proliferation of myofibroblasts in solitary or multiple nodules. The clinical characteristics depend on the involved sites: Myofibromatosis may develop as a musculoskeletal form, with non-painful swellings and eventual mass effect symptoms, or as a generalized form with visceral involvement and organ failure. Prognosis and therapy vary between the abovementioned patterns. When there is no visceral involvement, the tumors may regress spontaneously; however, the visceral form may represent a lifethreatening condition with poor outcome and it requires aggressive management. Imaging assessment of disease spread is mandatory to…
Changements de stratégie temporelle durant des tâches motrices complexes chez des sujets âgés sains
2017
International audience; Cette étude a permis d’analyser des points temporels clefs de la réalisation de mouvements impliquant l’ensemble du corps (Whole Body Reaching movements - WBR). Lors de ce mouvement, le sujet déplace son Centre de Masse (CdM) vers l’avant pour l’atteindre une cible. Ceci implique une inclinaison du tronc créant des modifications posturales et un risque de chute. Ces différentes considérations nous ont poussées à étudier une population de sujets âgés (SA) en comparaison à des sujets jeunes (SJ). Nous avons analysé des points stratégiques au cours de la tâche, dont deux plus particulièrement. La décomposition axiale de la vitesse du CdM en deux composantes (Verticale-V…
Whole-body magnetic resonance for staging and response assessment of lymphoma in a pregnant woman treated with antenatal chemotherapy
2017
A 32-year-old pregnant female presented with bilateral supraclavicular swelling, diffuse itching and right shoulder pain. After lymph nodal biopsy, a diagnosis of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's lymphoma was obtained. A multidisciplinary team decided to start chemotherapy before the delivery, and whole-body MRI was used to stage the disease and evaluate the response after antenatal chemotherapy. This case shows that whole-body MRI is an attractive procedure that avoids radiation exposure and contrast administration, and enables staging and follow-up of a pregnant patient without risk to the fetus.
Aufbau und Arbeitsweise eines 12-Kanal- funktionsmeβstandes zur Erfassung und Auswertung schnell ablaufender hämodynamischer Vorgänge

Hemodynamic function studies with radioactive tracers A new set-up, a multichannel function test device, is described for performing hemodynamic function studies with radioactive tracers. After injection of radioactive labelled particles of definite physical and chemical properties, the distribution of radioactivity can be registered simultaneously as function of time at 6 different sites of the body. Each of the 6 detectors used, one of them can be replaced by a fore-arm counter, is equipped with two channels, which can be individually adjusted to the photopeaks of two different radioisotopes. The data are either/not only stored on magnetic tape or/but also fed into a memory unit operating…

Overdiagnosis and overimaging: an ethical issue for radiological protection
2019
Aims and objectives: This study aimed to analyse the key factors that influence the overimaging using X-ray such as self-referral, defensive medicine and duplicate imaging studies and to emphasize the ethical problem that derives from it. Materials and methods: In this study, we focused on the more frequent sources of overdiagnosis such as the total-body CT, proposed in the form of screening in both public and private sector, the choice of the most sensitive test for each pathology such as pulmonary embolism, ultrasound investigations mostly of the thyroid and of the prostate and MR examinations, especially of the musculoskeletal system. Results: The direct follow of overdiagnosis and overi…
Experimental analysis of occupational whole-body vibration exposure of agricultural tractor with large square baler
2015
Abstract This study investigates longitudinal whole-body vibration in agricultural tractors powering a large square baler. The aim is to test the hypothesis that four-wheel drive has an influence on the longitudinal dynamic response. A number of experimental measurements are carried out on a specific vehicle combination driving uphill and downhill. The whole-body vibration exposure is measured at the operator seat under different conditions. The statistic results show a significant difference on the whole-body vibration exposure depending on operating conditions. Driving uphill and downhill with four-wheel drive activated showed the highest difference with increased vibration level at downh…
Análisis de contenido de la representación del cuerpo en un libro de texto de Educación Preescolar
2012
La construccion social y cultural del cuerpo influye en el conocimiento personal y de los otros. Los libros de texto transmiten el capital cultural de una sociedad a sus ciudadanos mas pequenos. El objetivo del estudio consiste en describir la forma en que se representa el cuerpo en las imagenes de un libro de texto de educacion preescolar. Se realizo un analisis de contenido de las imagenes a traves de un codigo elaborado en estudios previos. Las ninas y ninos son representados con gran diferencia respecto a otros sectores poblacionales y se observo igualdad de presencia de mujeres y hombres independientemente de su edad. Con gran diferencia se representa un cuerpo entero vestido con ropa …
A new species ofAnadrymadusaKarabağ (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) from Al Mujeb Nature Reserve, Jordan
2000
Abstract Anadrymadusa jordanica n. sp. from Jordan is described from one female specimen; it has elytra fully developed, longer than the whole body, a bi-concave ventral plate, between 7th sternite and subgenital plate, just longer than subgenital plate and showing a large median keel; the subgenital plate is as long as wide, with lobes with obtuse apical edge and a deep subacute excision.
