Isolated systolic hypertension is predominantly observed in the elderly because of increased arterial stiffness. Aggressive treatment leads to excessive lowering diastolic blood pressure and favors presence a J-shaped curve association with mortality. We investigated whether, elderly, this pattern simple epiphenomenon stiffness impaired cardiac function. In cohort 331 hospitalized subjects >70 years old (mean age±SD: 85±7 years), aortic pulse wave velocity reflections, by analysis,...
Large anatomical variations occur during the course of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC). The risks are therefore a parotid glands (PG) overdose xerostomia increase. purposes study were to estimate: - PG risk increase “standard” IMRT (IMRTstd); benefits an adaptive (ART) with weekly replanning spare PGs limit xerostomia. Fifteen patients received radical (70 Gy) LAHNC. Weekly CTs used estimate dose distributions delivered...
The diets of the two Amazonian brocket deer (the red Mazama americana and grey gouazoubira) were studied in French Guiana through examination stomach contents. species are mainly frugivore^granivores, even during annual period fruit scarcity (56% diet brockets 68% brockets). Both rely heavily on fruits seeds, but overcome fall availability by eating significant quantities fibres, leaves flowers, particularly brocket. Seasonal variation quantity consumed was observed only for gravid females,...
In the context of head and neck cancer (HNC) adaptive radiation therapy (ART), two purposes study were to compare performance multiple deformable image registration (DIR) methods quantify their impact for dose accumulation, in healthy structures. Fifteen HNC patients had a planning computed tomography (CT0) weekly CTs during 7 weeks intensity-modulated (IMRT). Ten DIR approaches using different (demons or B-spline free form deformation (FFD)), preprocessing, similarity metrics tested. Two...
The diets of the acouchy Myoprocta exilis , agouti Dasyprocta leporina and paca Agouti three largest terrestrial rodents French Guiana forests, were investigated from stomachs collected over several years. These species are primarily frugivores. percentage fruit in their diet decreased, seasonal variation increased smallest species, acouchy, to largest, (contents dry mass: respectively, 98.5% ± 0.6%, 87.4% 3.5%, 83.9% 7.6%). They differed each other proportions pulp secondary foods (leaves,...
This study described the diet of orange-rumped agouti Dasyprocta leporina in French Guiana. Five food types were identified stomach contents: seeds, pulp, fibre, leaves and animal matter. D. ate mainly fruit parts, pulp although ingestion animals, fibre was not negligible. Food intake differed from one season to another. a pulp-eater (64.8% March) when fleshy plentiful available on ground (February–May). The level globally accordance with production. When resources low (June–September),...
Background The validation of self-measurement devices for clinical use by elderly patients has been recommended. Omron HEM-722C device recently validated according to the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol general populations and HEM-735C is a new fully automatic with high capacity storage measurements that integrated personal computer. Objective To perform people revised BHS criteria Association Advancement Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). Methods We carried out main test procedures...
The objective was to analyze locoregional (LR) failure patterns in patients with head-and-neck cancer (HNC) treated using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) whole salivary gland-sparing: parotid (PG), submandibular (SMG), and accessory glands represented by the oral cavity (OC).Seventy consecutive Stage I-II (23%) or III/IV (77%) HNC definitive IMRT were included. For all LR patients, FDG-PET CT scans documenting recurrence rigidly registered initial treatment planning CT. Failure...
ABSTRACT The effects of dispersal pattern (seeds in small clumps vs. seeds scattered pairs) and distance to the nearest Carapa procera (Meliaceae; a tree that produces preferred by terrestrial vertebrates) on survival seedlings were examined for animal–dispersed species Virola michelii (Myristicaceae) mature forest‘at Paracou, French Guiana, 1992 1993. We assessed putative role ground–dwelling mammalian herbivores, rodents, ungulates filter seed shadow, acting either as dispersers or...
Numerous studies have addressed the ecology of collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) in North America, but very few were conducted tropical rain forest, 1 their main natural habitats. Between October 1994 and December 1996, 5 (3 subad M, ad F) from 3 herds comprising 5-11 individuals followed by radiotracking forest French Guiana. Home range varied 157 to 243 ha overlapped greatly space (46-81 ha) not time (herds monitored simultaneously). Habitat loss due inundation floodwater a dam could...
To determine the preferences of French elderly inpatients concerning medical information and surrogate designation in life-threatening situations.Intention-to-act questionnaire was completed by two geriatricians during a patient interview week following admission three geriatric units France. The participants were patients (> or =70 years) with adequate cognitive performance for decision making as assessed Mini Mental State Examination. impact socio-demographic factors, level confidence...
Residual distal parametrial involvement after radiochemotherapy is a true challenge for brachytherapists since the width and asymmetry of high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) are difficult to cover properly with standard implant.Dosimetric plans five patients treated Venezia advanced gynecological applicator at our institution were reviewed. For each patient, we compared original plan new where oblique needles removed re-optimized manually. Optimization process was halted when EQD210...
Gérard Dubost, and Olivier Henry (2017) Seasonal changes in tropical forests have been documented dry semi-deciduous forests, but not evergreen ones. Owing to its high level of annual rainfall, French Guiana is considered be a rainy region, despite pronounced season. therefore appropriate for studying the impact season on phenology rainforest animals. For this purpose, reproductive characteristics six terrestrial mammals were studied during four main seasons year. Reproduction was more or...
In deserts, rainfall is rare and often irregular, this directly conditions the growth, flowering fruiting of plants. Consequently, food can become seasonally scarce for plant-eating vertebrates. The relationship between reproduction rodents, rainfall, plant production has been partly studied in some Asian African desert regions, but not Saudi Arabia. We therefore sought to define breeding periods most common rodent that country, Gerbillus cheesmani. More than 540 specimens were collected...
The diet of Saguinus midas is characterised by analysis stomach contents samples on an annual and seasonal basis. comprises significant proportions both fruit insects all year round, although use shows important variations. tamarins reduce their resources during the peak fruiting season instead exploit increased opportunities for insectivory. This suggested to be a response differences in gross availability as function patterns presence competitors available resources.
The diets of males and pregnant nonpregnant females were studied in four French Guianan mammal species, three rodents one artiodactyl, illustrating a gradient size, mass, gestation, thus energy protein requirements. In the (Oryzomys capito, Proechimys cuvieri, Dasyprocta leporina), more frugivorous than females, whereas reverse was case artiodactyl (Tayassu tajacu). For all ate most pulp, while focused on seeds or animal matter. Nevertheless, appeared to be opportunistic foragers, with...
In order to optimize cardiovascular risk assessment, we compared the association of common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) with and/or iliofemoral (C/IF) plaques according presence or absence disease (CVD) and belonging a high group.The study was conducted in 323 subjects presenting one several factors an internal medicine hospital department; 96 patients had more manifestations disease.Compared no C/IF plaques, at 1-4 sites presented adjusted odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence...
Cette etude porte sur les saisons de reproduction 4 especes forestieres mammiferes terrestres guyanais comprenant 3 Rongeurs (Oryzomys capito velutinus, Proechimys cuvieri et Dasyprocta leporina) 1 Artiodactyle (Tayassu tajacu), essentiellement frugivores, mais taille differente presentant des besoins energetiques durees gestation tres dissemblables. En etudiant, tous 2 mois, variations du taux mensuel naissances (observees directement ou calculees d'apres le poids embryons), rapporte au...
