Introduction:La CRP est produite en grande quantité dans les processus inflammatoires aigus et chroniques. L'hypothèse de ce travail est que la CRP permet, à faible coût, d'apprécier la sévérité des patients admis en réanimation. Méthodes: La valeur journalière du taux sérique de CRP a été corrélée aux scores APACHE II à l'admission et SOFA pris quotidiennement durant le séjour en réanimation. ...

L’atrésie colique est la moins fréquente des atrésies de l’appareil digestif. Le trouble de vascularisation anténatal est l’hypothèse étiologique la plus communément admise pour expliquer les formes complètes. Cette anomalie peut être isolée ou faire partie d’un syndrome poly malformatif. Nous rapportons deux cas d’atrésie du colon: le premier admis dans un tableau d’occlusion néonatale basse, ...

Recently the authors have proposed a homogeneous and self-dual algorithm for solving the monotone complementarity problem (MCP) 5]. The algorithm is a single phase interior-point type method, nevertheless it yields either an approximate optimal solution or detects a possible infea-sibility of the problem. In this paper we specialize the algorithm to the solution of general smooth convex optimiz...

A framework for the validation of axiomatic structure metrics is presented. In a case study, the comprehen-sibility of type expressions in the functional programming language Miranda' has been investigated. A structure metric for the comprehensibility of type expressions has been developed together with internal and external axioms. This structure metric has been validated experimentally. The c...

This paper discusses the important issue of knowledge base comprehensibility and describes a technique for comprehensibility improvement. Com-prehensibility is often measured by simplicity of concept description. Even in the simplest form, however, there will be a number of dierent DNF (Disjunctive Normal Form) descriptions possible to represent the same concept, and each of these will have a d...

Recently several algorithms have been deveh|ped which achieve high e|tMent:y index in enclosing a na~t of the equati|m f (x ) = 0 in an interval [a, b] ,ver whk:h f ( x ) is continu|ms and f (a) f (b) < 0. The highest efficiency index, 1.6686 . . . . was achieved in [4] using the inveme cuhic interl~|latitat. This paper studies the po.~sibility of impr|wing eftlciency index by using high order ...
