Control of the refractive index in photopolymerizable materials for (2+1)D solitary wave guide formation.

We report an experimental and theoretical study on the optimization of (2+1)D self-written waveguide formation inside a photopolymerizable material. The accurate control of the refractive index value inside the bulk of the material during the polymerization process gives us the opportunity to define a virtual core and a virtual cladding for the system. The V value which characterizes the guidance properties of a fiber can be applied to this propagation. The control of the V value allows us to propagate single mode or multimode waveguides on a few centimeters. Numerical simulations of these waveguides based on a paraxial model including both photopolymerization and Kerr effect give very good agreement with our experimental results.

[Early education in autonomous bronchial drainage in the management of patients with hypersecretion].

In the context of excess bronchial secretions respiratory physiotherapy too often involves treatment by the therapist alone for the bronchial secretions. A more detailed analysis of the causes of the secretions often show evidence of the incapacity of the patient to manage autonomous bronchial drainage. Education thus becomes a priority in an attempt to improve the quality of life, and to slow the alteration of respiratory function linked to chronic hypersecretion and perhaps to reduce the consumption of medication and care. Such an outcome does not exclude regular supervision of respiratory prescriptions and treatment; maintenance of the learning process is also required to assist the patient when autonomy becomes too difficult to cope with.

[Moebius syndrome : one case (author's transl)].

The Moebius syndrome is a congenital anomaly characterized by paralysis of the sixth and seventh nerves. In some instances, there may be weakness of the adductors. The other muscles are normal. Visual acuity is not affected. Other congenital defects may be associated: polydactyly, defects of the ear and of the tongue. Etiology is probably an embryonal egression, cause of aplasia of the facial and abducens nucleï. The impossibility to move the eyes laterally in either direction, points to supranucleus involvement by defective development of the medial longitudinal fasciculus. Some people suggest that a myogen disturbance should be the principal and unique etiology. No evolution. No treatment.

[Hepato-diaphragmatic interposition of the colon in children. Chilaiditi's syndrome].

The interposition of the colon between the diaphragm and the liver is reported in an infant aged 12 days who presented in the neonatal period with intestinal obstruction. The syndrome which was described by Chilaiditi in 1910 under the name of hepatoptosis or diaphragmatic-hepatic interposition of the colon, is rare in adults and exceptionally rare in children. Nevertheless it is important to recognise at it is part of the differential diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum and a right sided diaphragmatic hernia. The treatment was surgical in our case.

[De novo trisomy 4p by 4p isochromosome].

A new example of trisomy 4p is reported, due in this case to formation of an isochromosome i(4p). The long arm of chromosome 4 was translocated onto the short arm of chromosome 1.
