Sleepless in Carver Country: Insomnia and Existential Crisis in Raymond Carver’s Short Fiction
2020
Chez Raymond Carver, la nuit n’est jamais uniquement une toile de fond réaliste. Dans ses nouvelles se déroulant après la tombée de la nuit, Carver joue à déconstruire les clichés généralement associés au confort de l’intimité nocturne et du lit conjugal. L’insomnie qui frappe certains de ses personnages les renvoie au contraire à leur complète solitude et à leur condition de mortels. Cet article cherche donc à voir comment la nuit blanche carvérienne est utilisée métaphoriquement pour exprimer l’angoisse de personnages souvent peu expansifs, qui veulent leur part du Rêve américain mais se retrouvent pris au piège d’un cauchemar existentiel. In Raymond Carver’s short fiction, the night is n…
Efficacy of Long-Term Treatment of Autosomal Recessive Hypercholesterolemia With Lomitapide: A Subanalysis of the Pan-European Lomitapide Study
2022
Backgroundand aim: Autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia (ARH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism caused by pathogenic variants in the LDLRAP1 gene. Like homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, ARH is resistant to conventional LDL-lowering medications and causes a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs) and aortic valve stenosis. Lomitapide is emerging as an efficacious therapy in classical HoFH, but few data are available for ARH.Results: This is a subanalysis carried out on nine ARH patients included in the Pan-European Lomitapide Study. The age at starting lomitapide was 46 (interquartile range (IQR), 39.0–65.5) y…
Warming temperatures and ectoparasitic sea lice impair internal organs in juvenile Atlantic salmon
2021
As a consequence of climate change and open net-pen salmon farming, wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar are increasingly likely to encounter elevated temperatures and parasite abundances during their early marine migration. Such stressors can compromise fitness by diminishing liver energy stores and impairing cardiac muscle. To assess whether temperature and infestation by salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis are important correlates of liver energy stores and cardiac muscle performance in juvenile salmon, we experimentally infested fish at 3 abundances of louse infestation (zero, low, and high) and 5 temperatures (10, 13, 16, 19, and 22°C). At the end of the experiment (i.e. when sea lice reac…
Environmental factors influencing the distribution and prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium in school attenders of ILembe and uThungulu Health Distr…
2017
Schistosoma haematobium infection is reported to facilitate the development of urogenital diseases. Its symptoms include haematuria, dysuria and tiredness, and it may cause cognitive decline in children. The prevalence of S. haematobium infection needs to be known in endemic areas and a mass treatment programme against the disease implemented. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and intensity of S. haematobium infection in ILembe and uThungulu health districts, using the major symptom, haematuria, as an indicator. A total of 6 265 urine samples, from 96 rural schools, was collected for analysis using dipsticks. The prevalence of haematuria in the ILembe health district w…
New Gynandromorph Records for Chirocephalus diaphanus (Branchiopoda, Anostraca, Chirocephalidae)
2021
We report and describe new Chirocephalus diaphanus Prévost, 1803 gynandromorphs from Tunisia and review the literature of anostracan gynandromorphy and other, possibly associated, somatic aberrations, with comments on their evolutionary significance. Our material has three specimens that are specifically deformed on the left side of the head.

Bodily obsessions : intrusiveness of organs in somatic obsessive–compulsive disorder
2022
AbstractIn this paper, I will provide a phenomenological analysis of somatic obsessions at times present in obsessive–compulsive disorder. I will compare two different types of bodily obsessions, which have a different neurological-physiological underpinning: anguishing awareness of one’s own heartbeat and of one’s own breathing. In addition, I will contrast these two with how one experiences one’s own liver. I will use the concepts "tactility obsessions” and "motility obsessions”, which I have coined for the purpose of this comparison. In other words, these are obsessions concerning the felt sense of one’s autonomous organs and obsessions concerning one’s ability to voluntarily move. Ultim…
Musiikkipsykoterapia somaattisesti sairastuneen potilaan sairaalahoidossa : the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine -musiikkiterapiaosaston…
2011
Tiivistelmä – Abstract Tämän laadullisen tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää musiikkiterapian sovellusmahdollisuuksia osana somaattisesti sairastuneen potilaan kokonaishoitoa. Tutkimusaineistoa kerättiin opintomatkalla, jonka aikana tutkija perehtyi käytännön työn kautta somaattisessa sairaalassa toimivan The Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine -musiikkiterapiaosaston työskentelymalleihin. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan millaisiin ongelmiin ja millaisin musiikkiterapiamenetelmin Louis Armstrong -musiikkiterapiaosaston työskentelyllä pyritään vaikuttamaan somaattisesti sairastuneen potilaan hoidossa. Tutkimuksen lähtökohta on fenomenologinen. Tutkimuksen aineistoanalyysissä on käy…
Vecāku audzināšanas stilu saistība ar somatizācijai raksturīgiem somatiskiem simptomiem 15-17 gadus veciem pusaudžiem
2019
Bakalaura darba pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādas saistības pastāv starp vecāku audzināšanas stiliem un somatizācijai raksturīgiem somatiskiem simptomiem, kā arī vai pastāv dzimumu atšķirības pusaudžu pašnovērtējumā par somatiskiem simptomiem. Pētījuma grupa sastāv no 92 respondentiem, 58 ir sievietes, 34 vīrieši. Grupas vidējais vecums ir 16 gadi (M = 16,33, SD = 0,83). Audzināšanas stilu novērtēšanai tika izmantota vecāku audzināšanas stilu aptauja (Parental Authority Questionnaire /PAQ; Buri, 1991). Somatizācijai raksturīgi somatiski simptomi tika mērīti ar Bērnu somatizācijas aptauju (Children’s Somatization Inventory, Child Report Form /Walker et.al., 1991). Pētījuma rezultāti par…
