Vitruve à Thélème. Rabelais lecteur du De architectura
Authors: Séguin-Brault Olivier 
Published: December 2018

Cet article s’intéresse à la réception du De architectura dans l’œuvre de Rabelais, de la description de l’abbaye de Thélème dans le Gargantua à la première traduction française d’un passage de la « bible de l’architecture » dans le Tiers livre . À Thélème, l’application et le détournement des prescriptions de Vitruve participent de la création de principes alternatifs et témoignent de la maîtrise du corpus vitruvien par l’éditeur d’une topographie de la Rome antique.
De la translation à la traduction à la lumière de la translatio imperii
Authors: Gutbub Christophe 
Published: December 2018

Dans le vocabulaire de la traduction, le passage de la translation au terme actuel s’opère progressivement depuis le début du xv e jusqu’à la fin du xvi e siècle, d’abord en Italie, puis en France depuis le début du xvi e siècle. Le phénomène est complexe, et doit être examiné davantage dans la manière de penser un transfert ou un passage en général, dans des domaines très variés, que dans l’appréhension de la seule traduction. Le modèle de la translatio imperii offre un discours élaboré de manière explicite au moyen âge, qui s’appuie notamment sur un fondement théologique, tandis que c’est seulement peu à peu que le vocabulaire de la traduction s’oriente, en réduisant leur nombre, vers des termes techniques. En même temps se précise avec la traduction, de Bruni à Du Bellay, une idée de la langue. Au terme de ce parcours peuvent être proposées deux définitions : la translation est le transfert de ce qui est légitimement transférable ; la traduction est une œuvre qui, comme telle, et dans la conscience des réalités linguistiques, s’affranchit dans une certaine mesure d’un original dont elle se sait pourtant dépendante.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To describe interface corneal edema secondary to steroid-induced elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) following LASIK.
METHODS: Retrospective observational case series. Diffuse interface edema secondary to steroid-induced elevation of IOP was observed after LASIK simulating diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) in 13 eyes. Mean patient age was 31.4±5.3 years. Patients were divided into two groups according to provisional misdiagnosis: DLK group (group 1) comprised 11 eyes and infection group (group 2) comprised 2 eyes (microbial keratitis). Mean follow-up was 8.1±0.5 weeks.
RESULTS: In the DLK group, typical diffuse haze was confined to the interface and extended to the visual axis, impairing vision in all eyes. Provisional diagnosis was late-onset DLK and topical steroids were started. Repeat examination showed elevated IOP as measured at the corneal center and periphery using applanation tonometry (mean 19.1 mmHg and 39.5 mmHg, respectively), causing interface edema with evident interface fluid pockets. Steroids were stopped and topical anti-glaucoma therapy was started. The interface edema decreased and at the end of follow-up the corneal transparency was restored and IOP dropped to normal values. The infection group demonstrated a microbial keratitis-like reaction and underwent flap lifting and interface wound debridement and biopsy with administration of fortified antibiotics and steroids. After elevated IOP was detected, steroids and antibiotics were stopped and topical anti-glaucoma therapy was started, resulting in the resolution of the interface edema.
CONCLUSIONS: Interface fluid syndrome secondary to steroid-induced elevation of IOP might develop in steroid responders after LASIK with a misleading clinical picture simulating DLK or infectious keratitis. Management includes stopping topical steroids and starting topical antiglaucoma therapy. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:441-447.]
One-year Outcomes of a Bilateral Randomized Prospective Clinical Trial Comparing Laser Subepithelial Keratomileusis and Photorefractive Keratectomy
Authors: Pirouzian Amir , Thornton Jennifer , Ngo Sieu 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To compare laser subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in different eyes of the same patients in terms of visual acuity, refractive error, and complications over 1 year.
METHODS: This prospective, randomized, double-masked study comprised 30 active-duty military personnel with myopia who underwent LASEK in one eye and PRK in the other eye.
RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients' results were available for 1-year follow-up. The primary outcome measures were visual acuity and refractive error. The mean visual acuity for the LASEK group was 1.56 and 1.67 for the PRK group (z=-0.18, P=.15). The mean spherical equivalent refraction for the LASEK group was -0.007 D and +0.124 D for the PRK group (t=0.982, P=40). No significant differences were noted in visual acuity or refractive error in the eyes that had LASEK versus the eyes that had PRK.
CONCLUSIONS: After 1-year follow-up, LASEK and PRK show similar levels of visual acuity and refractive error. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:575-579.]
Macular Choroidal Neovascularization in Myopic Eyes After Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation
Authors: Ruiz-Moreno José Ma , Montero Javier A , de la Vega Concepción , Alió Jorge L , Zapater Pedro 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To analyze the development and characteristics of choroidal neovascularization in highly myopic patients corrected by the implantation of phakic intraocular lenses (PIOLs).
METHODS: This retrospective, noncomparative interventional case series studied the development of choroidal neovascularization in 522 consecutive highly myopic eyes (spherical equivalent refraction > -6.00 diopters [D] and/or axial length >26 mm) (323 patients) corrected by the implantation of PIOLs, the treatment performed, and the results obtained. Parameters evaluated were best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) before and after treatment of choroidal neovascularization, and the interval between refractive surgery and the development of choroidal neovascularization.
RESULTS: Follow-up ranged from 12 to 145 months (mean: 60.4 ± 39.1 months). In 12 (2.29%) eyes, choroidal neovascularization developed after PIOL implantation at a mean interval time of 33.7 ± 29.6 months (range: 1 to 87 months). Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, the risk of choroidal neovascularization in patients with high myopia corrected by PIOL implantation was 0.57% at 5 months, 0.81% at 18 months, 1.31% at 24 months, and 3.72% at 87 to 145 months. No statistically significant differences were found between patients with and without choroidal neovascularization in the following parameters: axial length [P=.826), age (P=.296), initial BSCVA (P=.085), spherical equivalent refraction (P=.663), and follow-up (P=.955).
CONCLUSIONS: Phakic intraocular lens implantation for the correction of high myopia does not play a role in the development of choroidal neovascularization. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:689-694.]

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTPURPOSE: To compare the preoperative characteristics of LASIK patients undergoing surgery in 1997 versus 2004 at one of the principal eye surgical centers in China.METHODS: Preoperative data of patients who underwent LASIK in 1997 and 2004 were recorded and retrospectively compared.RESULTS: In 1997, the mean spherical equivalent refraction of the 824 eyes of 428 patients undergoing LASIK surgery was -7.30+4.65 diopters (D), with a mean patient age of 24. 67 ±6. 76 years. Students represented 45.05% of patients undergoing surgery in 1997. In 2004, the mean spherical equivalent refraction of the 8434 eyes of 4286 patients undergoing LASIK surgery was -6.66+3.31 D, with a mean patient age of 25.20±6.59 years. Students represented >50% of patients undergoing surgery in 2004. There were significant differences in the constitution ratio of occupation and the spherical equivalent refractions between 1997 and 2004 (t= -2.712, χp 2=25.117, respectively, P<.05).CONCLUSIONS: At our center in China, the majority of LASIK patients are young and have myopia ranging from -3.00 to -10.00 D. Students were much more likely than any other occupation to undergo LASIK. The number of patients undergoing LASIK at our center in China has increased exponentially from 1997 to 2004, with an average annual increase in surgical volume of approximately 40%.

Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in High Myopic Eyes With Previous Radial Keratotomy
Authors: Han Eui Seok , Lee Jin Hak 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To determine an accurate method of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in highly myopic eyes with previous radial keratotomy (RK).
METHODS: Five eyes that had undergone RK with preoperative myopia >-14.0 diopters (D) were studied retrospectively. The keratometric values obtained with the clinical history method, contact lens over-refraction method, conventional keratometry, adjusted keratometry, and Orbscan Il were compared to the true keratometric value calculated retrospectively with the SRKyT formula.
RESULTS: The true keratometric value was closest to that from the contact lens over-refraction method in one eye and to the flatter keratometric value between simulated keratometry (Sim K) and the 3-mm diameter central zone mean keratometric value obtained with axial keratometric power map of Orbscan Il in four eyes.
CONCLUSIONS: The flatter keratometric value between Sim K and the 3-mm zone mean keratometric value from Orbscan Il was closest to the true postoperative RK keratometric value of the central cornea. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:713-716.]

Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To determine the effect of Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy size on refraction and visual acuity.
METHODS: A total of 128 Pseudophakie eyes (108 patients) were included in this study and divided into two groups by capsulotomy size: 80 eyes had small capsulotomies (<4 mm) without dilating the pupil and 48 eyes had large capsulotomies (>4 mm and <7 mm) after dilating the pupil. Visual acuities and refractive errors were measured preoperatively and 1, 14, 30, and 90 days postoperatively. Results were analyzed statistically.
RESULTS: The change in spherical equivalent refraction was 0.38 ±0.52 diopters (D) in the small capsulotomy group and 0.22 ±0.36 D in the large capsulotomy group. No statistically significant differences were noted in spherical equivalent refraction change (P= .47) or capsulotomy size (P=. 0387) between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The size of posterior capsulotomy does not significantly affect refraction and visual acuity. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:719-721.]

Authors: Lee Jae Hwan , Kim Min , Kim Eung Kweon 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report a case in which an improperly rotated free flap was successfully repositioned using peripheral chatter lines as a reference.
METHODS: A 30-year-old woman with irregular astigmatism as the result of an improperly rotated free flap during LASIK underwent repositioning of the corneal flap correspondingly along the chatter lines.
RESULTS: Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity improved from 20/100 to 20/20 following the procedure. Corneal topography showed improvement in the astigmatism and the Placido disk pattern.
CONCLUSIONS: When marks on a free flap are obscured during LASIK, periodic chatter lines can be used for realignment if no other landmarks are available. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:721-723.]
Keratectasia After LASIK But Not After PRK in One Patient
Authors: Javadi Mohammad Ali , Mohammadpour Mehrdad , Rabei Hossein Mohammad 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report a case of keratectasia in a patient who underwent LASIK in the right eye and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in the left eye for correction of compound myopic astigmatism.
METHODS: A 30-year-old man underwent LASIK in the right eye and PRK in left eye for refraction of -1.75 -1.50 × 48° and -1.00 -1.75 × 100°, respectively. Preoperative corneal thickness was 447 µm in the right eye and 446 µm in the left eye.
RESULTS: Postoperative corneal thickness decreased to 341 µm? and 384 µm in the right and left eye, respectively. Uncorrected visual acuity in the left eye was 20/20, but the right eye developed keratectasia, which led to severe visual loss (20/400).
CONCLUSIONS: Photorefractive keratectomy may be better than LASIK for ablative refractive surgery for low myopic astigmatism in eyes with low central corneal thickness. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:817-820.]

Abstract
Sepsis is the leading cause of death in the intensive care unit with an overall mortality rate of 20%. Individuals who are obese and have type 2 diabetes have increased recurrent, chronic, nosocomial infections that worsen the long-term morbidity and mortality from sepsis. Additionally, animal models of sepsis have shown that obese, diabetic mice have lower survival rates compared with nondiabetic mice. Neutrophils are essential for eradication of bacteria, prevention of infectious complications, and sepsis survival. In diabetic states, there is a reduction in neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation; however, few studies have investigated the extent to which these deficits compromise infection eradication and mortality. Using a cecal ligation and puncture model of sepsis in lean and in diet-induced obese mice, we demonstrate that obese diabetic mice have decreased “emergency hematopoiesis” after an acute infection. Additionally, both neutrophils and monocytes in obese, diabetic mice have functional defects, with decreased phagocytic ability and a decreased capacity to generate ROS. Neutrophils isolated from obese diabetic mice have decreased transcripts of Axl and Mertk, which partially explains the phagocytic dysfunction. Furthermore, we found that exogenous GM-CSF administration improves sepsis survival through enhanced neutrophil and monocytes phagocytosis and ROS generation abilities in obese, diabetic mice with sepsis.

health concerns in Cameroon. Its treatment is frequently initiated at home, most often with street drugs. The home management of malaria cases entails the prescription of Artemisinin-based combination (ACTs) as first-line therapy for treatment of uncomplicated malaria after having confirmed the malaria case using rapid diagnostic tests. But induced adverse reactions of this therapy are not well known in Cameroon. Thus, a prospective, observational, cohort study of adverse events associated with ACTs was conducted from January 2013 to November 2013 in the health district of Mfou. Children under 5 years receiving ACTs for malaria treatment at home were enrolled. Suspected ADRs and other clinical events were recorded. Data were managed and analysed using Epi Info version 3.5.3 and Statistical Package for Social Sciences, statistical software version 20. Of the 479 children investigated, 56.8% (n=272/479) were males, the age group 25-59 months (49.5%; n=237/479) was most represented, 27.1% (n=130/479) had experienced one form of ADRs, male children (56.2%; n=73/130) and the age group 25-59 months (50.8%; n=66/130) were most affected. No significant association was found between age, sex and incidence of adverse ACTs reactions. The main experienced ACTs reactions were tiredness (43.1%; n=56/130) followed by lack of appetite (24.6%; n=32/130). The incidence ACTs ARDs was found to be relatively low and tolerable. Home management of malaria cases using ACTs should be encouraged and community members should be trained to improve the recognizing and reporting of adverse effects.
Production et gestion des déchets solides des établissements de tourisme dans la région du centre Cameroun : cas du Mérina hôtel de Yaoundé
Authors: Foyet Gankam Arsène Delors , Tchawa Paul 
Published: December 2018

In the town of Yaoundé, the head quarter of the Centre Region, tourism establishments (hotels, restaurants…) produce large quantities of solid waste. These sold wastes especially those from hotels are similar to household sold waste. The different services of these establishments are lodging, catering, administration and maintenance. All these services and activities produce different types and quantities of waste based on the frequency of visits into the establishments. We therefore distinguish two seasons of visits (the high and the low). Catering (kitchen, bar, restaurant) is the highest producer of waste with an average ranging between 80 and 102 kg per day representing 82% of the total quantity produced by the establishment. These wastes are largely wet, made up at 69% of fermentable waste. The fraction that can be put to use represents 97%. Individually, a tourist produces 3.92 and 5.27 kg of waste per day contrary to 0.6 and 0.8 kg for a normal resident of the town.Apart from the informal collection circuit, that collects bottles in PET and plastic gallons of maintenance products, no other fraction is neither sorted nor put to use. The quasi-totality of these wastes is dumped in the dust bin of the municipal council and later emptied at the rubbish dump without any form of treatment in spite of the legal exigencies and the existing valorisation sectors.
Dans la ville de Yaoundé, capitale du Cameroun et chef-lieu de la région du Centre, les établissements de tourisme produisent d’importantes quantités de déchets solides. Ces déchets, précisément ceux hôteliers de par leur nature sont assimilables aux déchets solides ménagers. Les différents services offerts par ces établissements sont : l’hébergement, la restauration, l’administration et l’entretien. Toutes ces activités ou services produisent des déchets de natures et de compositions différentes, mais surtout de quantités variables en fonction des saisons de fréquentation. La restauration (cuisine, bar, restaurant) produit le plus de déchets avec une moyenne comprise entre 80 et 102 kg par jour, soit 82% de la quantité totale de déchets produits. Ces déchets sont en majorité humides, constitués à 69% de fermentescibles. La fraction valorisable représente un total de 97%. Individuellement, un touriste ou un résident de l’hôtel produit entre 3,92 et 5,27 kg de déchets par jour contre 0,6 et 0,8 kg pour un résident ordinaire de la ville.En dehors des circuits de collecte informels, qui récupèrent les bouteilles en PET et les bidons plastiques issus de l’utilisation des produits d’entretien, aucune autre fraction n’est véritablement triée, ni valorisée. La quasi-totalité de ces déchets est déversée dans les bacs à ordures municipaux puis transportée à la décharge sans aucune forme de traitement en dépit des exigences règlementaires et des filières de valorisation existantes.

The use of oyster shells as a naturally applied as the media in biomass-fixed biological reactors has been studied in the presence of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum fungi for the treatment of dairy effluents. The objective is to compare the purification performance between several biofilms biological treatments, different by the use of colonization supports and also by their design. The common Kadnes commercial media (Kaldnes K3) was thus studied in the case of biological treatment of the same effluent, and the abatement performances of the organic pollution in both cases were compared. The results show comparable performance after 24 hours of treatment. These yields were better compared to the biological treatment that does not use media of colonization.
L’utilisation de coquilles d’huîtres comme support, d’origine naturelle, dans les réacteurs biologiques à biomasse fixe a été étudiée en présence de champignons Aspergillus niger et Penicillium chrysogenum pour le traitement des effluents de laiteries. L’objectif étant de comparer les performances d’épuration entre plusieurs traitements biologiques à biofilms, différents par l’utilisation de supports de colonisation et aussi par leurs conceptions. Le support commercial commun Kadnes (Kaldnes K3) a été ainsi étudié dans le cas de traitements biologiques du même effluent, et les performances d’abattement de la pollution organique dans les deux cas ont été comparées. Les résultats révèlent des performances comparables après 24 heures de traitement. Ces rendements étaient meilleurs comparés au traitement biologique qui n’utilise pas de supports.
TPVTrack v1.0: a watershed segmentation and overlap correspondence method for tracking tropopause polar vortices
Authors: Szapiro Nicholas , Cavallo Steven 
Published: December 2018

Abstract. A new free modular software package is described for tracking tropopause
polar vortices (TPVs) natively on structured or unstructured grids. Motivated
by limitations in spatial characterization and time tracking within existing
approaches, TPVTrack mimics the expected dynamics of TPVs to represent their
(1) spatial structure, with variable shapes and intensities, and (2) time
evolution, with mergers and splits. TPVs are segmented from the gridded flow
field into spatial objects as restricted regional watershed basins on the
tropopause, described by geometric metrics, associated over time by overlap
similarity into major and minor correspondences, and tracked along major
correspondences. Simplified segmentation and correspondence test cases
illustrate some of the appeal, sensitivities, and limitations of TPVTrack,
including effective representation of spatial shape and reduced false
positive associations in time. Tracked TPVs in more realistic historical
conditions are consistent in bulk with expectations of life cycle and mean
structure. Individual tracks are less reliable when discriminating among
multiple overlaps. Modifications to track other physical features are
possible, with each application requiring evaluation.
