We also learned of an important number of neutral and negative trials that have benefited our patients. We discovered that adaptive servo-ventilation, positive airway pressure therapy, in central sleep apnea patients with HFrEF demonstrated an increase in mortality and cardiovascular mortality, and had no advantage on the composite endpoints of heart failure hospitalization, death, or other sec...

Les collections topologiques permettent de considérer uniformément de nombreuses structures de données dans un langage de programmation et sont manipulées par des fonctions définies par filtrage appelées des transformations. Nous présentons dans cet article deux systèmes de types pour des langages intégrant les collections topologiques et les transformations. Le premier est un système à typage ...

RÉSUMÉ. Les réseaux bayésiens sont des outils privilégiés pour les problèmes de diagnostic. Nous dressons dans cet article un panorama des algorithmes utilisés classiquement pour la mise en œuvre des réseaux bayésiens dans le cadre du diagnostic, et plus particulièrement du diagnostic médical. Pour cela, nous passons en revue un certain nombre de questions méthodologiques concernant le choix de...

αU (R) ⊆ R] ⇐⇒ { (ρ, a(i)) | (ρ, a) ∈ R, i ∈ [0, ρ(N)− 1] } ⊆ R] ⇐⇒ ∀(ρ, a) ∈ R : ∀i ∈ [0, ρ(N)− 1] : (ρ, a(i)) ∈ R] ⇐⇒ (ρ, a) ∈ R =⇒ ∀i ∈ [0, ρ(N)− 1] : (ρ, a(i)) ∈ R] ⇐⇒ R ⊆ { (ρ, a) | ∀i ∈ [0, ρ(N)− 1] : (ρ, a(i)) ∈ R] } ⇐⇒ R ⊆ γU (R]) Actually, we have a Galois embedding as αU is onto: any (ρ, x) ∈ EU is the abstraction αU ({ (ρ, a) }) of some (ρ, a) ∈ E such that ∀i ∈ [0, ρ(N)− 1] : a(i) = x.

This review looks back at important and clinically relevant new developments in the fields of invasive electrophysiology and device therapy in 2014. Many findings do not only apply to pure electrophysiologists, but also to every clinical cardiologist’s practice. The authors have extracted the key findings of studies with potential guideline impact and put those into a clinical perspective. Look...

The requirements for dentists in Lebanon for the year 2015 were estimated using the World Health Organization/World Dental Federation planning model. The aim was to help decision- and policy-makers in Lebanon to plan strategically for the supply of dental personnel in line with the recommendations of the Oral Health National Plan guidelines from 1995. Assumptions based on previous research in s...
