The treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip diagnosed after the first year of life remains controversial. A series of 36 children (47 hips), aged between one and 4.9 years underwent gradual closed reduction using the Petit-Morel method. A pelvic osteotomy was required in 43 hips (91.5%). The patients whose hips did not require pelvic osteotomy were among the youngest. The mean age at fi...

Two experiments tested whether phonological phrase boundaries constrain online syntactic analysis in French. Pairs of homophones belonging to different syntactic categories (verb and adjective) were used to create sentences with a local syntactic ambiguity (e.g., [le petit chien mort], in English, the dead little dog, vs. [le petit chien] [mord], in English, the little dog bites, where brackets...

Il créa d’abord, autour de sa maison, un petit jardin botanique où il multiplia des espèces alpines ou étrangères, qu’il sema ensuite dans divers sites de la Vallée, au Mont Tendre en particulier. ...

A novel phage lambda mutation, called dc10, which interferes with proper lambda head assembly has been isolated and characterized. Phage lambda carrying this mutation is (i) unable to form plaques at 30 or 37 degrees C but does so at 42 degrees C and (ii) unable to form plaques at 42 degrees C on pN-constitutive hosts. Both properties are due to dc10 since all phage revertants for one phenotype...

The present study focuses on the books production of Le Corbusier in collaboration with Jean Petit and examines how such relationship endeavored Corbusier’s book production. In particular, it aimed at:

The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a novel approach for blocking the abdominal wall neural afferents via the bilateral lumbar triangles of Petit.

We evaluated its analgesic efficacy first 24 postoperative hours of patients, undergoing to surgical an...
