A Forgotten reason of dysphagia “Forestier syndrome”

Forestier syndrome or diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a chronic disease characterized by diffuse formation of osteophytes on the spine that increase with age and occur as a result of enchondral ossification of paravertebral ligaments and muscles. The exact etiology of disease is not known. It is more common in males and usually it occurs over sixty-five years of age. Stiffness, limi...

Treatment of Two Cases of Forestier-Rotes-Querol’s Disease Tratamiento de dos casos de enfermedad de Forestier-Rotes Querol

A 63-year-old male was referred to our department from Primary Care with odinophagia of several years’ evolution, with episodes of fluctuating dysphonia and dyspnoea. He has a history as a smoker and moderate drinker, COPD, hiatus hernia with gastroesophageal reflux and ankylosing spondulitis. Physical exploration showed no changes to the larynx, with protrusion of the posterior wall of the hyp...

Silence as the Ultimate Fulfillment of the Philosophical Quest

Etude du couvert forestier par processus ponctuels marqués. (Tree crown extraction using Marked Point Processes)

This thesis addresses the problem of tree crown extraction from Colour InfraRed (CIR) aerial images of fo-rests. Our models are based on object processes, otherwise known as marked point processes. These mathema-tical objects are random variables whose realizations are configurations of geometrical shapes. This approachyields an energy minimization problem, where the energy is compo...
