    After the publication in this same revue of an article treating of some “desert kites” found in Yemen, the author wonders about the structure’s interpretation as hunting traps. Indeed, the comparison between these structures with some found in the Middle-East shows some important structural differences. These differences seem to be significant enough to reappraise the interpretation of the Yemeni forms as hunting traps

    AprĂšs la publication dans cette mĂȘme revue d’un article traitant de « desert kites » retrouvĂ©s au YĂ©men, l’auteur s’interroge sur la validitĂ© de l’interprĂ©tation de ces structures en tant que piĂšges de chasse. Les principales hypothĂšses proposĂ©es dans la littĂ©rature quant Ă  la fonction de ces « desert kites » au Proche‑Orient invitent Ă  affiner l’observation. La comparaison entre les Ă©difices yĂ©mĂ©nites et les Ă©difices syriens, qui laisse apparaĂźtre d’importantes diffĂ©rences structurelles, met en doute la pertinence d’un tel schĂ©ma pour les structures yĂ©mĂ©nites. Ces diffĂ©rences semblent assez significatives pour remettre en question l’interprĂ©tation des structures yĂ©mĂ©nites en tant que piĂšges de chasse.<br>After the publication in this same revue of an article treating of some “desert kites” found in Yemen, the author wonders about the structure’s interpretation as hunting traps.

Durant deux campagnes ont Ă©tĂ© fouillĂ©s deux ensembles publics localisĂ©s de part et d'autre du wādÄ« Hām : une forteresse Ă  Bithnah-24 et un complexe cultuel Ă  Bithnah-44/50. Tandis que la forteresse se rattache Ă  d'autres monuments connus dans la rĂ©gion (Husn Madhāb), le site religieux comporte de nombreux Ă©lĂ©ments inĂ©dits, qui nous renseignent sur les pratiques cultuelles de l'Ă©poque. Deux types d'autels s'y distinguent : un autel Ă©tabli en hauteur, auquel on accĂ©dait par un chemin amĂ©nagĂ© et plusieurs autels construits Ă  l'intĂ©rieur de structures en " chapelles " . Ces lieux de culte se distribuent autour d'un bĂątiment central comportant une salle Ă  piliers, qui a pu servir de lieu de rĂ©unions et de cĂ©rĂ©monies. Ces deux ensembles sont datĂ©s du Fer II (1100-600 av. J. C.) et faisaient vraisemblablement partie d'un mĂȘme territoire qui tĂ©moigne d'un degrĂ© de spĂ©cialisation de l'espace aussi important que dans les grandes oasis du piĂ©mont occidental des montagnes.L'exploitation du cuivre dans la partie orientale de la vallĂ©e (Bithnah-54) apparaĂźt comme l'un des moteurs du dĂ©veloppement de cette rĂ©gion durant cette pĂ©riode

    Cranial and ventricular size following shunting or endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in infants with aqueductal stenosis: further insights from the International Infant Hydrocephalus Study (IIHS)

    Purpose The craniometrics of head circumference (HC) and ventricular size are part of the clinical assessment of infants with hydrocephalus and are often utilized in conjunction with other clinical and radiological parameters to determine the success of treatment. We aimed to assess the effect of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and shunting on craniometric measurements during the follow-up of a cohort of infants with symptomatic triventricular hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal stenosis. Methods We performed a post hoc analysis of data from the International Infant Hydrocephalus Study (IIHS)-a prospective, multicenter study of infants (&lt; 24 months old) with hydrocephalus from aqueductal stenosis who were treated with either an ETV or shunt. During various stages of a 5-year follow-up period, the following craniometrics were measured: HC, HC centile, HCz-score, and frontal-occipital horn ratio (FOR). Data were compared in an analysis of covariance, adjusting for baseline variables including age at surgery and sex. Results Of 158 enrolled patients, 115 underwent an ETV, while 43 received a shunt. Both procedures led to improvements in the mean HC centile position andz-score, a trend which continued until the 5-year assessment point. A similar trend was noted for FOR which was measured at 12 months and 3 years following initial treatment. Although the values were consistently higher for ETV compared with shunt, the differences in HC value, centile, andz-score were not significant. ETV was associated with a significantly higher FOR compared with shunting at 12 months (0.52 vs 0.44;p = 0.002) and 3 years (0.46 vs 0.38;p = 0.03) of follow-up. Conclusion ETV and shunting led to improvements in HC centile,z-score, and FOR measurements during long-term follow-up of infants with hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal stenosis. Head size did not significantly differ between the treatment groups during follow-up, however ventricle size was greater in those undergoing ETV when measured at 1 and 3 years following treatment
