Book excerpt: Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" and redefined romance for a generation (New York Times). Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife -- between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite. It's here! #1 bestselling author Stephenie Meyer makes a triumphant return to the world of Twilight with the highly anticipated companion, Midnight Sun: the iconic love story of Bella and Edward told from the vampire's point of view.

Download or read book Tyssot De Patot and His Work 1655 1738 written by A. Rosenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the novel, V oyages el avantures de] aques Masse, caused some thing of a stir during the first half of the eighteenth century, its author, Simon Tyssot de Patot (1655-1738), remained largely unknown in his lifetime, and it is only in this century that he has been recognized as one of the countless soldiers in the vast army of philosophes that assaulted the bastions of religious, political and sodallife in Europe of the late seven 1 teenth and early eighteenth centuries. Tyssot was a Huguenot who lived most of his life in Holland where he pursued a career as professor of mathematics in the sodal and cultural 1 Tyssot and his work seem to have been first brought to the attention of modem writers by the German critics during their investigation of the type of desert island or robinsonade literature that preceded and followed Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. The earliest reference I have found occurs in A. Kippenberg, Robinson in Deutschland bis zur Insel Felsenburg (1713-43), Hanover, 1892, pp. 66-67. Tyssot's name and work appear to have been first linked with the development of socialism in A. Lichtenberger, Le Socialisme au XVIIIe siecle, Paris, 1895, p. 44. Tyssot's Voyages et avantures de]aques Masse was discussed for its literary merits in A. LeBreton, Le Roman au dix huitieme siecle, Paris, 1898. LeBreton did not know that Tyssot was the author.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte : La recommandation de l'HAS publiée en 2009 sur « le diagnostic et la prise en charge de l'asthme du nourrisson de moins de 36 mois » donne des outils concrets pour détecter ces asthmes encore sous diagnostiqués et donc sous traités. Méthode : L'étude est mono-centrique descriptive et analytique, réalisée sur des données prospectives collectés à l'aide de questionnaire orale composé de deux parties, la première intégrant la totalité des nourrissons présentant une symptomatologie respiratoire et la seconde consacrée aux nourrissons diagnostiqués asthmatique avec retard. Cette étude a été réalisée dans le service de pédiatrie du Centre hospitalier de l'arrondissement de Montreuil sur Mer du premier novembre 2013 au 28 février 2014. Étaient intégrés à l'étude, tous les nourrissons de moins de 36 mois consultants aux urgences pédiatriques ou étant hospitalisés en pédiatrie pour un motif respiratoire. Une partie du questionnaire était consacrée à la prise en charge réalisée par le pédiatre du CHAM à travers la réalisation d'une radiographie thoracique et la mise en route du traitement au long cours. Résultats : Sur les 270 entrées aux urgences pédiatriques, 101 consultaient pour un motif respiratoire, dont 44% pour une toux (IC95%[34-54]). 13% d'entres eux présentaient une exacerbation d'asthme méconnu (IC95%[7-21]). Le diagnostic était posé en moyenne à l'âge de 16 mois. 92% de ces nourrissons diagnostiqués tardivement (IC95%[64-81]) avaient reçu une corticothérapie inhalée brève, des bronchodilatateurs et de la kinésithérapie respiratoire lors des épisodes antérieurs. 62% (IC95%[32-84%]) avaient reçu une antibiothérapie et 38% (IC95%[15-67]) avaient reçu un sirop antitussif. Le pédiatre du CHAM a réalisé une radiographie thoracique dans 85% des cas (IC95%[55-99]) et un traitement au long cours a été instauré pour 92% des cas (IC95%[64-99]). Conclusion : Diagnostiquer à temps ces nourrissons permet d'éviter des hospitalisations itératives, des exacerbations répétitives et de faire le bilan de cette maladie à distance pour éliminer les diagnostics différentiels. Cela permet également d'éviter des traitements inutiles voire dangereux lors des épisodes aigües.
