« Donner à manger aux dieux du théâtre »Petite chronique du compromis ou les périls d’une rencontre interculturelle

Lundi 3 août 1992 Le stage débute autour d'une table. On présente les nouveaux et on retrouve les autres avec grand plaisir. Tout le monde est venu pour la même chose : travailler sur ce spectacle commun, donner une réalité à ce projet fou. On choisit quatre répliques de Cymbeline et le groupe se divise en trois pour travailler sur ce court passage et venir le présenter une demi-heure plus tard. Inévitable et pourtant abordé de trois façons différentes, le problème est posé d'emblée. Il est é..

Bled-La traversée

« Bled-La traversée » de Michel Azama est une coproduction Théâtre de Poche, Compagnie Bacchus. La pièce a été jouée au théâtre Bacchus du 17 au 28 mars 1992, dans une mise en scène de Jean-Claude Meignan, avec Nina Moreno, Mohamed Guellati, Alexandre Picard. Alexandre Picard a 22 ans. Dès le lycée, il a voulu devenir comédien professionnel et a commencé un peu comme tout le monde par un atelier théâtre au collège. Il a ensuite passé trois ans avec Jean Pètrement et Jackie Castan à l'atelier ..

Combined anterior segment OCT and wavefront-based autorefractor using a shared beam

We have combined an anterior segment (AS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) system and a wavefront-based aberrometer with an approach that senses ocular wavefront aberrations using the OCT beam. Temporal interlacing of the OCT and aberrometer channels allows for OCT images and refractive error measurements to be acquired continuously and in real-time. The system measures refractive error with accuracy and precision comparable to that of clinical autorefractors. The proposed approach provides a compact modular design that is suitable for integrating OCT and wavefront-based autorefraction within the optical head of the ophthalmic surgical microscope for guiding cataract surgery or table-top devices for simultaneous autorefraction and ocular biometry

The fraternal and the criminal act : from family psychological grip to the violence of annihilation. A group and individual clinical study in prison

Quel rapport entre le lien fraternel (le complexe fraternel tel que l'a défini R. Kaës) et le crime commis ? Pourrait-il y avoir ce lien et la nature des actes criminels ? Dans les contenus autant que dans les événements et dans les mouvements transférentiels de la thérapie de patients auteurs de faits criminels (faits que nous serons amenés à préciser ou définir dans la partie 1 de notre travail), nous pouvons relever l'empreinte d'une rivalité fraternelle dominée par la cruauté. Le relevé de ces traces et de l'évolution de ces patients nous permet de poser l'hypothèse que certains actes criminels seraient commis à des moments où l'ombre de cette rivalité empreinte de cruauté menacerait à nouveau le sujet.What is the relationship between the fraternal bond (the fraternal complex as defined by R. Kaës) and the crime committed? Could there be this connection and the nature of the criminal acts? In the content as well as in the events and in the transferential movements of the therapy of patients who are perpetrators of criminal acts (facts which we will have to specify or define in part 1 of our work), we can note the imprint of a fraternal rivalry dominated by cruelty. The recording of these traces and the evolution of these patients allows us to hypothesize that certain criminal acts would be committed at times when the shadow of this rivalry of cruelty would threaten the subject again

Complications of Corneal Inlays (Inlay Displacement)

Corneal inlay repositioning is considered an uncomplicated procedure. However, care should be taken to place the cornea inlay in an appropriate position. In patients with a significant kappa angle, the inlay should be placed halfway between the corneal vertex and the center of the entrance pupil [1, 2]

Applications of femtosecond lasers in ophthalmic surgery

Purpose: To review recent advancements in applications of the femtosecond (FS) laser in ophthalmology. Design: Literature review and commentary. Results: With the FS laser, it is now possible to produce a more precise flap diameter, hinge and depth of the flap in laser in situ keratomileusis surgery. Recently, the FS laser has been used for both flap creation and refractive correction by lenticule extraction. This laser can also be used for preparing host and donor tissue in different shapes so as to obtain faster recovery and improved postoperative visual acuity. Intracorneal ring segments for keratoconus and post-laser in situ keratomileusis ectasia can be placed using the FS laser. Higher precision of capsulorrhexis and lens softening is also achievable with FS laser-assisted cataract surgery. Conclusion: Innovations focused on improving FS laser technology will continue and will lead to expanded applications of the FS laser in ocular surgery

Long-Term Outcomes of Radial Keratotomy, Laser In Situ Keratomileusis, and Astigmatic Keratotomy Performed Consecutively over a Period of 21 Years

Purpose. To describe a case of 3 refractive procedures performed in one eye over 2 decades. Methods. Case report. Results. A 41-year-old patient presented for refractive surgery evaluation. His ocular history includes bilateral radial keratotomy performed 21 years ago for moderate myopia: spherical equivalence of −4.25 D bilaterally. Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/30; however, over time he developed a hyperopic shift and UCVA decreased to 20/40 in the right eye. Thus, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) was performed at an outside institution 6.5 years later, and the patient had initial improvement of UCVA to 20/25. Due to a change in refractive error, the patient underwent uneventful astigmatic keratotomy 13 years after LASIK in the right eye, and 1.5 years after surgery best-corrected visual acuity was 20/25 with manifest refraction of −1.00+5.50×134°.  Conclusion. We report the outcomes and natural refractive progression in a patient who underwent three corneal refractive procedures over two decades. This case underlines the difficulties of long-term management of post-RK hyperopia and astigmatism

Preliminary Results of Femtosecond Laser Assisted Corneal Ring Segment Implantation for Keratoconus

ABSTRACT Purpose To present refractive, visual and topographic outcomes of femtosecond laser assisted intrastromal ring segments (ISRS) implantation. Settings Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami, FL, USA. Materials and methods Nineteen eyes of 15 patients with keratoconus, clear central corneas, and contact lens intolerance had implantation of a symmetrical 0.45 mm Inta cs segment (Addition Technology Inc, California, USA) using 200 kHz femtosecond laser (WaveLight GmbH, Erlangen, Germany). The outcomes of the procedure were evaluated in terms of uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), average keratometry value (K-value) and spheric equivalent (SE). Results Femtosecond laser assisted ISRS implantation could be performed with ease, while no intra- or postoperative complications were encountered. Mean UCVA improved from 0.95 ± 0.39 to 0.66 ± 0.28 logMAR, mean BSCVA improved from 0.46 ± 0.13 to 0.29 ± 0.21 logMAR, mean spherical equivalent considerably reduced from −7.15 ± 4.57 to −4.38 ± 4.07 and K value reduced from 52.39 ± 5.79 to 49.78 ± 6.84 D at the last follow-up. Conclusion Using a 200 kHz femtosecond laser is a safe procedure providing optimal refractive, visual and topographic outcomes in our preliminary study.
