    Rolandic epilepsy (RE) is the most common idiopathic focal childhood epilepsy. Its molecular basis is largely unknown and a complex genetic etiology is assumed in the majority of affected individuals. The present study tested whether six large recurrent copy number variants at 1q21, 15q11.2, 15q13.3, 16p11.2, 16p13.11 and 22q11.2 previously associated with neurodevelopmental disorders also increase risk of RE. Our association analyses revealed a significant excess of the 600 kb genomic duplication at the 16p11.2 locus (chr16: 29.5-30.1 Mb) in 393 unrelated patients with typical (n = 339) and atypical (ARE; n = 54) RE compared with the prevalence in 65 046 European population controls (5/393 cases versus 32/65 046 controls; Fisher's exact test P = 2.83 × 10−6, odds ratio = 26.2, 95% confidence interval: 7.9-68.2). In contrast, the 16p11.2 duplication was not detected in 1738 European epilepsy patients with either temporal lobe epilepsy (n = 330) and genetic generalized epilepsies (n = 1408), suggesting a selective enrichment of the 16p11.2 duplication in idiopathic focal childhood epilepsies (Fisher's exact test P = 2.1 × 10−4). In a subsequent screen among children carrying the 16p11.2 600 kb rearrangement we identified three patients with RE-spectrum epilepsies in 117 duplication carriers (2.6%) but none in 202 carriers of the reciprocal deletion. Our results suggest that the 16p11.2 duplication represents a significant genetic risk factor for typical and atypical R

    Abstract Background Following the results of randomized controlled trials on levosimendan, French health authorities requested an update of the current use and side-effects of this medication on a national scale. Method The France-LEVO registry was a prospective observational cohort study reflecting the indications, dosing regimens, and side-effects of levosimendan, as well as patient outcomes over a year. Results The patients included ( n = 602) represented 29.6% of the national yearly use of levosimendan in France. They were treated for cardiogenic shock ( n = 250, 41.5%), decompensated heart failure ( n = 127, 21.1%), cardiac surgery-related low cardiac output prophylaxis and/or treatment ( n = 86, 14.3%), and weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( n = 82, 13.6%). They received 0.18 ± 0.07 µg/kg/min levosimendan over 26 ± 8 h. An initial bolus was administered in 45 patients (7.5%), 103 (17.1%) received repeated infusions, and 461 (76.6%) received inotropes and or vasoactive agents concomitantly. Hypotension was reported in 218 patients (36.2%), atrial fibrillation in 85 (14.1%), and serious adverse events in 17 (2.8%). 136 patients (22.6%) died in hospital, and 26 (4.3%) during the 90-day follow-up. Conclusions We observed that levosimendan was used in accordance with recent recommendations by French physicians. Hypotension and atrial fibrillation remained the most frequent side-effects, while serious adverse event potentially attributable to levosimendan were infrequent. The results suggest that this medication was safe and potentially associated with some benefit in the population studied

    Elogio di Funny Guy Picabia, inventore della Pop Art (Johan & Levi, Milan, 2013)

    Full text link
    Elogio di “Funny Guy” Picabia, inventore della Pop Art prende spunto dal ritrovamento postumo di un corpus di dodici disegni di Francis Picabia risalenti al 1923 realizzati a inchiostro su carta per illustrare le copertine della rivista Littérature, fondata e diretta da André Breton. Per questi disegni, rimasti inediti, Picabia si appropria delle immagini pubblicitarie di una rivista o della brochure di un grande magazzino, le copia e fornisce nome e prezzo esatto di vendita di ciascun articolo. Semplice materiale pubblicitario su cui Picabia appone le proprie iniziali, per ironizzare forse sulla sua scarsa capacità di vendersi e forse anche per sdrammatizzare l’insuccesso della sua mostra alla galleria Dalmau di Barcellona, di cui Breton fu testimone. Essi rappresentano una svolta stilistica e tematica rispetto ai progetti realizzati fino a quel momento dall’artista. Picabia usa per la prima volta una strategia commerciale come strategia di sovversione artistica; eleva cioè la volgare propaganda commerciale a opera d’arte. Così facendo inventa la Pop Art e diventa precursore di Warhol, Lichtenstein e Rosenquist. In questo testo Lebel ricostruisce il contesto e le circostanze in cui furono realizzati i disegni. Gli anni 1922-23 sono quelli dell’implosione del movimento Dada e del suo slittamento nel Surrealismo, dell’esperienza della rivista Littérature (terreno di confronto e scontro per gli artisti e scrittori coinvolti), dell’amicizia e collaborazione tra Picabia e Breton, di un viaggio in macchina per Barcellona in occasione della mostra alla galleria Dalmau, preceduta da una conferenza all’Ateneu barcelonés. Non è un testo per specialisti e pur trattando una parte molto specifica e poco conosciuta della produzione debordante e caleidoscopica di Picabia, l’autore riesce a introdurre anche un lettore generico all’universo di questo artista e al contesto in cui operò. Lebel non è un detrattore della Pop Art americana: Warhol e gli altri artisti pop non avevano mai visto i disegni di Picabia che all’epoca non erano ancora stati ritrovati. Il testo quindi non vuole in nessun modo insinuare che gli americani abbiano “rubato” l’idea a Picabia. Corredano il testo una lettera inedita di Picabia a Breton, data 1923, e un disegno dello stesso anno, sempre inedito, che accompagnava la lettera.Johan & Lev
