Vesicoureteral Reflux in the Child with Lazy Bladder Syndrome: The Infrequent Voider by Marco Grasso, Fabrizio Torelli, Salvatore Blanco, Flavio Fortuna, Marco Baruffi

“…This patient has been submitted to a prompt bladder training and seems presently to have at last gained a physiological micturition after 9 months of follow-up, without actual evidence of vesicoureteral reflux. Therefore we must stress that it is prominently important considering about infrequent micturition in a paediatric case history or a large capacity bladder, possible presence of bladder dysfunction and vesicoureteral reflux too.…”

Le pouvoir laïque est-il profane ? Classement distinctif et spiritualisation seigneuriale en Haute-Allemagne à la fin du Moyen Âge by Joseph Morsel, Camille Noûs

“…The article proposes a different interpretation of this practice, starting from a specific empirical terrain – secular lords in Upper Germany in the late Middle Ages – and considering seriously the caro/spiritus schema – instead of the common, albeit dated profane/sacred binomial couple –, not only as a discursive system but also and above all as the actual ideational matrix of social practices. We can then deduce the generic correlation established in this society between social – secular as well as ecclesiastical – domination and the attribution of a more spiritual character to the dominant than to the dominated, who are relegated to the carnal.…”
