A l’écart de la frénésie des zones urbaines proches, facilement accessible, c’est une large vallée, peu peuplée, aux paysages verdoyants.
Depuis trois millénaires des hommes ont su tirer profit des richesses offertes par une nature généreuse. Sur 8 Km, le long de ce ruban d’eau tranquille, s’échelonnaient quatre cités romaines, aujourd’hui redevenues villages…
| Translation - English
Set well away from the frenzied atmosphere of the nearby towns, this is a wide valley, sparsely populated and easy to reach, an area of lush green countryside.
For three thousand years, Man has taken advantage of all that generous Mother Nature has had to offer here. There used to be four Roman towns on the banks of this quietly flowing river, over a distance of 8 km. Now they have become villages again.

Les mutations du gène de la dystrophine, situé en Xp21, peuvent être responsables de la myopathie de Duchenne et de la dystrophie musculaire de Becker (DMB). La DMB se caractérise par un déficit partiel en dystrophine et/ou par des anomalies qualitatives, avec un début plus tardif et une progression plus lente qu’au cours de la myopathie de Duchenne, maladie dans lequel le déficit en dystrophine est total (1). La DMB peut être révélée par une cardiomyopathie. Nous en rapportons un cas diagnostiqué à 57 ans, trois ans après un diagnostic de cardiomyopathie dilatée « primitive », et dont l’atteinte musculaire périphérique est devenue symptomatique à la faveur des traitements hypolipémiants (statine puis fibrate) | Translation - English
Mutations in the dystrophin gene located in Xp21 may be responsible for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). Symptoms of BMD include a partial lack of dystrophin and/or dystrophin of poor quality, with later onset and slower progression than with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease in which there is a total lack of dystrophin (1). BMD may be revealed by cardiomyopathy. We describe a case diagnosed in a 57-year-old patient, three years after a diagnosis of primary dilated cardiomyopathy. Peripheral muscle weakness became symptomatic with lipid-lowering drugs (statin then fibrate). |
