Oeil et Maladies systémiques

By: SÈVE Pascal, KODJIKIAN Laurent

Les maladies systémiques regroupent un cadre hétérogène de maladies (connectivites, vascularites, granulomatoses…) dont la pathogénie est caractérisée par une atteinte de plusieurs organes. Bien qu’il s’agisse pour la plupart de maladies orphelines, ces pathologies sont susceptibles d’intéresser tous les médecins du fait de leur polymorphisme clinique. L’atteinte ophtalmologique est fréquente dans bon nombre de ces maladies, principalement en rapport avec une atteinte inflammatoire ou vasculaire. Elle constitue souvent une clé pour le diagnostic et peut mettre en jeu le pronostic fonctionnel en raison du risque de cécité. La sémiologie oculaire des maladies systémiques et les moyens d’explorations ophtalmologiques sont souvent mal connus des internistes ou des spécialistes d’organes. Inversement, les maladies systémiques sont l’objet de nombreuses interrogations de la part des ophtalmologistes. De ce constat est né Œil et Maladies systémiques qui présente, en 50 chapitres : • les principaux syndromes ophtalmologiques et les moyens d’explorations, destinés principalement aux non-ophtalmologistes • l’expression ophtalmologique des maladies systémiques (connectivites et vascularites, certaines maladies infectieuses et autres affections multiviscérales) ainsi que les aspects diagnostiques, pronostiques et thérapeutiques. Le professeur Pascal Sève, interniste, et le professeur Laurent Kodjikian, ophtalmologiste, tous deux rattachés à hôpital de la Croix-Rousse à Lyon, ont coordonné l’ouvrage dont les rédacteurs sont issus des diverses spécialités concernées : ophtalmologistes et internistes bien sûr, mais également spécialistes d’organes tels que dermatologues, néphrologues, neurologues, etc., tous référents reconnus dans leur domaine d’expertise. Ce livre apporte des réponses utiles et précises aux praticiens confrontés aux atteintes ophtalmologiques des maladies systémiques. Il intéressera donc les ophtalmologistes, internistes, rhumatologues, neurologues, pneumologues et autres spécialistes d’organes.

Nile into Tiber: Egypt in the Roman World

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference of Isis Studies, Leiden, May 11-14 2005

By: Laurent Bricault,Miguel John Versluys,Paul G.P. Meyboom

Interest in all kinds of interactions between Egypt and Rome has grown considerably over the last decade. This debate has not only altered our views on the impact of Rome on Alexandria and Egypt but also strongly put to the fore the reverse direction of this cultural interaction: Egyptian influences on the Roman world. It is this topic, Egypt in the Roman World, that was central to the IIIrd International Conference of Isis Studies, held in Leiden in May 2005. This book, a selection of the papers delivered at the conference, gives a clear overview of the debate as it has developed in recent years. In two parts (I. Interpretations of the meaning of Aegyptiaca Romana and II. Understanding the cults of Isis in their local context)preceded by a general introduction it offers a broad perspective on the various aspects of cultural interaction between Egypt and Rome, also by bringing together different research traditions in this field.

Children Without Language

From Dysphasia to Autism

By: Laurent Danon-Boileau

Communication and language disorders are often considered from one particular point of view - either psychological or neurological. Danon-Boileau argues that this is a serious mistake. He emphasizes that a child's trouble can stem from a variety of causes: neurological problems similar to those of aphasia, cognitive impairments, and psychological disorders, and, thus, the interaction of these elements needs to be taken into account. In precise case studies, Danon-Boileau describes the situations he has confronted and traces the causes of changes in the child when they happen. Combining linguistic, cognitive, and psycholanalytic approaches, Children without Language provides a unique perspective on speech and communication disorders in children and will be an essential volume for speech therapists, developmental psychologists, linguistics scholars and anyone wishing to reflect seriously on why we speak and how communication occurs.

The Psychology of Good and Evil

By: Laurent Bègue

The Psychology of Good and Evil expertly analyzes the shape that morality takes in our minds, its consequences in our lives, and how it affects our relationships with others. By exploring the core of human nature, Laurent Bègue uncovers the hidden mechanisms underlying the moral self, the apprenticeship of morality, how we relate to social norms, and the foundations of our beliefs.

The Banjo

America’s African Instrument

By: Laurent Dubois

The banjo has been called by many names over its history, but they all refer to the same sound—strings humming over skin—that has eased souls and electrified crowds for centuries. The Banjo invites us to hear that sound afresh in a biography of one of America’s iconic folk instruments. Attuned to a rich heritage spanning continents and cultures, Laurent Dubois traces the banjo from humble origins, revealing how it became one of the great stars of American musical life. In the seventeenth century, enslaved people in the Caribbean and North America drew on their memories of varied African musical traditions to construct instruments from carved-out gourds covered with animal skin. Providing a much-needed sense of rootedness, solidarity, and consolation, banjo picking became an essential part of black plantation life. White musicians took up the banjo in the nineteenth century, when it became the foundation of the minstrel show and began to be produced industrially on a large scale. Even as this instrument found its way into rural white communities, however, the banjo remained central to African American musical performance. Twentieth-century musicians incorporated the instrument into styles ranging from ragtime and jazz to Dixieland, bluegrass, reggae, and pop. Versatile and enduring, the banjo combines rhythm and melody into a single unmistakable sound that resonates with strength and purpose. From the earliest days of American history, the banjo’s sound has allowed folk musicians to create community and joy even while protesting oppression and injustice.

Shapes and Diffeomorphisms

Shapes and Diffeomorphisms

By: Laurent Younes

Shapes are complex objects to apprehend, as mathematical entities, in terms that also are suitable for computerized analysis and interpretation. This volume provides the background that is required for this purpose, including different approaches that can be used to model shapes, and algorithms that are available to analyze them. It explores, in particular, the interesting connections between shapes and the objects that naturally act on them, diffeomorphisms. The book is, as far as possible, self-contained, with an appendix that describes a series of classical topics in mathematics (Hilbert spaces, differential equations, Riemannian manifolds) and sections that represent the state of the art in the analysis of shapes and their deformations. A direct application of what is presented in the book is a branch of the computerized analysis of medical images, called computational anatomy.

The De Palma Decade

Redefining Cinema with Doubles, Voyeurs, and Psychic Teens

By: Laurent Bouzereau

Journey with award-winning filmmaker and author Laurent Bouzereau through acclaimed director Brian De Palma’s renowned—and controversial—horror and thriller films that redefined cinema in the 1970s and early 80s with interviews conducted over three decades and fresh takes. Among a crop of fresh filmmakers including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola revolutionizing Hollywood in the ’70s, Brian De Palma—a director from Philadelphia with a few social satires under his belt—charted a cinematic path unlike any of his peers. At times he was unfairly dismissed as a Hitchcock copycat; other times he was misunderstood for his peculiar mix of sexuality, humor, and violence. But, over the course of ten years, he created a new cinematic language, melding his signature themes with specific filmmaking techniques that are now synonymous with his name. Acclaimed filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau explores the seven films that came to define the De Palma decade: Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise, Obsession, Carrie, The Fury, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out. Combining film analysis, detailed production histories, and interviews with De Palma himself, his casts, and collaborators, Bouzereau presents the definitive record on this unrivaled period of cinematic creativity and the emergence of an auteur who would continue to influence filmmaking in the decades that followed.

Dirichlet Forms Methods for Poisson Point Measures and Lévy Processes

With Emphasis on the Creation-Annihilation Techniques

By: Nicolas Bouleau,Laurent Denis

A simplified approach to Malliavin calculus adapted to Poisson random measures is developed and applied in this book. Called the “lent particle method” it is based on perturbation of the position of particles. Poisson random measures describe phenomena involving random jumps (for instance in mathematical finance) or the random distribution of particles (as in statistical physics). Thanks to the theory of Dirichlet forms, the authors develop a mathematical tool for a quite general class of random Poisson measures and significantly simplify computations of Malliavin matrices of Poisson functionals. The method gives rise to a new explicit calculus that they illustrate on various examples: it consists in adding a particle and then removing it after computing the gradient. Using this method, one can establish absolute continuity of Poisson functionals such as Lévy areas, solutions of SDEs driven by Poisson measure and, by iteration, obtain regularity of laws. The authors also give applications to error calculus theory. This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in the fields of stochastic analysis and finance, and in the domain of statistical physics. Professors preparing courses on these topics will also find it useful. The prerequisite is a knowledge of probability theory.
