A long-term perspective on Neanderthal environment and subsistence: Insights from the dental microwear texture analysis of hunted ungulates at Combe-Grenal (Dordogne, France).

Large bovids and cervids constituted major components of the European Middle Palaeolithic faunas and hence a key resource for Neanderthal populations. In paleoenvironmental reconstructions, red deer (Cervus elaphus) occurrence is classically considered as a tree-cover indicator while Bovinae (Bison priscus and Bos primigenius) and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) occurrences are typically associated with open landscapes. However, insights into the ecology of extant ungulate populations show a more complex reality.

[Superior oblique muscle paralysis and ocular torsion. What is the effect of measuring method on the results?].

Background: The rotation of the eye-ball around Fick's Y-axis is called ocular torsion. A precise measurement of the torsional deviation can be clinically as critical in the diagnosis of some complex strabological disorders as in the assessment of some systemic diseases.

Materials And Methods: We measured the ocular torsion under binocular conditions by five measurement devices on 50 patients with superior oblique palsy.

[Prostaglandin E1 (misoprostol) and S-adenosylmethionine in the prevention of hemorrhagic gastritis induced by aspirin in the human. Endoscopic, histologic and histochemical study].

On 58 healthy subjects, it was evaluated in endoscopic and histopathologic form, the cytoprotective effect on the gastroduodenal mucosa, such of T.G.E 1 (misoprostol) as of SAMe, in the present of acute bleeding gastritis induced by 1300 mg aspirin in a single dose and during 2 hours.
