This book was released on 2010 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis le début des années 1990, l'imagerie de l'oreille et de la base du crâne s'est considérablement développée. Des pathologies récentes, mal connues ont été explorées en imagerie, en particulier en IRM. L'objectif de mes travaux de recherche, a été de développer des séquences Haute Résolution (HR) sur l'oreille et la base du crâne permettant une analyse sémiologique fine et une caractérisation de ces différentes pathologies dans l’objectif d’une prise en charge plus adaptée. Le début de mes travaux a été orienté vers le conduit auditif interne. Mon but initial a été de mettre point et de développer une séquence 3 HR T2 sur l'oreille interne et le conduit auditif interne ainsi qu’une séquence spin écho T1 HR en coupes fines. Ces séquences ont permis l’analyse précise de l'extension des schwannomes vestibulaires dans le fond du conduit auditif interne. Cette étude a permis de dégager des critères intéressants en imagerie dans le choix thérapeutique (chirurgie versus radio-chirurgie) et dans le choix de la voie d'abord chirurgicale. Mon travail s’est également orienté vers le développement des séquences de diffusion en base du crâne, le but était de développer une séquence de diffusion HR dans le suivi des cholestéatomes opérés de l'oreille moyenne. Les récidives de cholestéatome sont fréquentes et les oreilles opérées sont parfois difficiles à analyser en TDM en cas de comblement de la cavité opératoire. Des séquences IRM spécifiques sont alors nécessaires pour différencier une récidive de cholestéatome, du tissu fibro-inflammatoire fréquemment présent. Plusieurs auteurs avaient montré l'intérêt des séquences de diffusion du fait de coefficients de diffusion très différents entre le tissu fibro-inflammatoire et le cholestéatome. Cependant ces premières séquences de diffusion EPI basse résolution, étaient peu adaptées au rocher et la base du crâne. Notre travail a été de mettre au point et de développer une séquence de diffusion HR Turbo Spin écho adaptée à l'oreille et à la base du crâne permettant le dépistage des récidives de cholestéatome et de valider cette séquence par comparaison au gadolinium tardif et à la chirurgie. Mon travail sur la base du crâne haute résolution m'a également permis de développer des séquences Spin Echo T1 et 3D Echo de gradient T1 en Haute Résolution avec saturation de la graisse permettant une analyse fine des extensions tumorales périnerveuses à la base du crâne principalement dans les cancers du nasopharynx. Ces travaux ont permis de définir les voies d'extension précises de ces tumeurs afin de ne pas sous-évaluer le stade initial de ces tumeurs dans la classification TNM de l'UICC. Ces travaux associés à ceux d'autres chercheurs ont permis de mettre à jour récemment cette classification UICC des tumeurs du nasopharynx. Une de mes principales voies de recherche a été le dépistage, l'analyse et la description des pathologies de l’oreille interne. Une étude longitudinale menée de 1998 à 2008 incluant toutes les pathologies intra-labyrinthiques découvertes au CHU de Lille, a permis de définir et de caractériser trois grands types de pathologies distinctes: les schwannomes intra-labyrinthiques, les labyrinthites, les hémorragies intra-labyrinthiques. Ces pathologies nécessitent des prises en charge différentes. Nous avons pu également définir des critères pronostics en particulier des critères de gravité nécessitant une prise en charge rapide adaptée. Dans le cadre ce travail de recherche sur les pathologies de l’oreille interne, nous nous sommes également intéressés au Syndrome de déhiscence du canal semi-circulaire supérieur, syndrome clinique récemment décrit par Minor en 1998. Une étude précise des cas découverts entre 2007 et 2009, associant le scanner HR de l’oreille et la fusion des images HR en IRM (fusion entre une séquence d’angio-IRM HR et la séquence 3D HR T2), a permis de mettre en évidence une variante de la forme classique, correspondant, non pas à une déhiscence osseuse isolée du canal semi-circulaire supérieur, mais à une déhiscence du sinus pétreux supérieur venant au contact du labyrinthe membraneux au niveau du canal semi-circulaire supérieur. La prise en charge chirurgicale étant très différente en cas de déhiscence vasculaire. Mon travail sur la base du crâne et l'imagerie haute résolution m'a également conduit à m'intéresser aux outils d'aide à la planification et à la prise en charge chirurgicale des tumeurs de la base du crâne. En effet, ces tumeurs, souvent bénignes, sont d'accès difficile en raison de l'importance des rapports nerveux et vasculaires à ce niveau. Le but est de développer une méthode de reconstruction tridimensionnelle de ces tumeurs dans leur environnement vasculaire et nerveux permettant au chirurgien de modéliser et de choisir sa voie d'abord. Ces reconstructions 3D des tumeurs de la base du crâne et de leur environnement montrent l’intérêt de l’imagerie HR de la base du crâne non seulement pour les radiologues mais également pour les chirurgiens et pour l’enseignement de cette région.

Download or read book CAA2015 written by Stefano Campana and published by Archaeopress Archaeology. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together all the successful peer-reviewed papers submitted for the proceedings of the 43rd conference on Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology that took place in Siena (Italy) from March 31st to April 2nd 2015. Altogether, within the four days of the conference 280 papers were presented in 48 sections divided into ten macro topics, 113 posters, 7 roundtables and 12 workshops. That number, in itself, has prompted a thought or two. Above all it says that CAA is very much alive and kicking, that it is in robust good health, and that it remains a wholly relevant force in the scientific community, fully engaged with the questions of the day, and a continuing focal point for the profession. All of that speaks well for the motto of CAA 2015: KEEP THE REVOLUTION GOING. Although the significance of the motto is obvious, it is worth some thoughts. Few would deny that in the past 30 years or so, digital technologies have profoundly revolutionised archaeology - in the office and laboratory, in the field and in the classroom. The progressive introduction of digital techniques in the archaeological process has of course led to a general increase in efficiency. But perhaps more importantly it has provided a spur to the discussion of methodology and through that has strongly influenced not only the way we go about things but also the outcomes that we have been able to achieve. The pioneering phase in the application of digital techniques in archaeological research has clearly been fruitful and today computer applications such as GIS, databases, remote sensing and spatial analysis as well as virtual and cyber archaeology are deeply embedded within our universities. This is all good, of course, but we must not assume that the task has been completed. An intrinsic revolutionary instinct towards technological development has been awakened. But it will only survive by virtue of the results that it brings about. Or using the words of our Chairman Prof Gary Lock: 'Computers not only change the way we do things, but more importantly they change the way we think about what we do and why we do it'. The general thrust of this statement can be summed up and reinforced by recalling a quote from the philosopher Don Ihde, who has argued we should never forget that all technologies should be regarded as 'cultural instruments', which as well as strategies and methodologies implemented in our researches are also 'non-neutral'. So KEEP THE REVOLUTION GOING! is a motto that lays stress on the need to maintain innovation in archaeology through technological advances. But innovation must have at its root the fostering of critical thought and the framing of new archaeological questions. So there is much work still to be done, and fresh challenges to be faced in the months, years and decades ahead. -from the introduction by Stefano Campana and Roberto Scopigno

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Download or read book The Story of Crass written by George Berger and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movement--Crass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant--detail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules by putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world's press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellers that were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom. As detailed in this history, their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. This definitive biography of the band not only gives backstage access to their lives, philosophies, and the movement that followed, but also to never-before-seen photographs and rare dialogues.
