Louis Wolfson: as palavras de escritura fina
No full textIn this paper, we propose to reflect about the functioning of the delirium in the
language, from Wolfson s production, considering two main aspects, his relation with several
languages and his refusal of the language taught by his mother. To make our discussion, we
will start from the articulation between language and psychoanalysis proposed by Jacques
Lacan, begining with the re-reading of Freud and his concepts brought from linguistic area
(based on Ferdinand Saussure).
Freud and Lacan worry about making a distinction between neurosis and psychosis to
define the structural mechanisms of each functioning. Lacan bases on some concepts
proposed by Ferdinand Saussure about the language functioning, principally the linguistic
sign to explain the inscription way of the subject in the language fields and the features of
each structure. Our focus will be destinate to a deepening in the area of the psychosis
structuration. In this way, it will be considered: the concepts concerning such strucuture, like
Verwerfung of the Father s Name, the peculiar organization of the meanings and the
predominance of the metonimic operation in the relation to the methaforic ones. Such
concepts are related to the constitution of the delirium and the logics of the functioning. The
delirium is presented in the phychoses like a possibility of the reconstruction of the reality and
a reorganization of the meaningful chain, wich is marked with a break due to the lack of the
father functioning. Maleval, in the book Le logique du délire, deepens in his conception about
the delirium both in the psychiatry and psychanalysis; the author bases on the psychanalysis
to detach the phases of the elaboration of the delirium, as well asw his way of systematization.
To understand the mechanisms that make the chain of the language funcioting of the
psychosis, as well as the elaboration and the work of the delirium, we base on the reports by
Louis Wolfson ( author of the book Le schizo et les Langues). With this discussion cocnerning
Wolfson s piece, we aim to detach the functioning of specific language and also the peculiar
relation with the meanings, caused by the lack of the father s function and ther relation of the
refusal of mother s wish and the language taught by her. Further more, we search to
investigate the systematization of the delirium from the author s reportrs, considering mainly
the aspects like the refusal of the language taught by his mother, the relation established by
Wolfson With his several other languages chosen to substitute the one that could be his
mother language.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorMestrado em Estudos LinguísticosNeste trabalho, propomo-nos a refletir sobre o funcionamento do delírio na linguagem,
a partir da produção de Louis Wolfson, considerando dois aspectos principais: sua relação
com as várias línguas e sua recusa dos sons da língua ensinada pela mãe. Para realizarmos a
nossa reflexão, partiremos da articulação entre linguagem e psicanálise proposta por Jacques
Lacan a partir da releitura de Freud e dos conceitos trazidos do âmbito linguístico, propostos
por Ferdinand Saussure.
Freud e Lacan preocupam-se em realizar uma distinção entre a neurose e a psicose
para definir os mecanismos estruturantes de cada funcionamento. Lacan se apoiará em alguns
conceitos propostos por Ferdinand Saussure acerca do funcionamento da língua,
principalmente o signo linguístico, para explicar o modo de inscrição do sujeito no campo da
linguagem e as especificidades de cada estrutura. Nosso foco será destinado a um
aprofundamento no campo de estruturação da psicose, e, sendo assim, serão abordados os
conceitos relacionados a tal estrutura, como a foraclusão do nome do pai, a organização
peculiar dos significantes e a prevalência das operações metonímicas em relação às
metafóricas. Tais conceitos se relacionam à constituição do delírio e à sua lógica de
funcionamento.
O delírio se apresentará na psicose como uma possibilidade de reconstrução da
realidade e uma reorganização da cadeia significante, que é marcada por uma ruptura devido à
carência da função paterna. Maleval, no livro Le logique du délire, aprofunda-se na
conceituação sobre o delírio tanto na psiquiatria como na psicanálise; o autor se apoia na
psicanálise para destacar as fases de elaboração do delírio, bem como seu modo de
sistematização.
Para compreender os mecanismos que encadeiam o funcionamento de linguagem da
psicose, bem como a elaboração e o trabalho do delírio, recorreremos aos relatos produzidos
por Louis Wolfson, autor do livro Le schizo et les langues. Com essa reflexão a partir da obra
de Wolfson, objetivamos destacar seu funcionamento de língua específico e, ainda, sua
relação peculiar com os significantes, movidos pela carência da função paterna e uma relação
de recusa ao desejo materno e, portanto, à língua ensinada por sua mãe. Além disso, buscamos
investigar a sistematização do delírio a partir dos relatos do autor, considerando
fundamentalmente aspectos como a recusa dos sons da língua ensinada por sua mãe e a
relação estabelecida por Wolfson com as várias outras línguas escolhidas por ele para
substituir aquela que poderia ter sido a sua língua materna

Preventative therapies for healthy women at high risk of breast cancer
No full textIvana Sestak Centre for Cancer Prevention, Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Queen Mary University of London, Charterhouse Square, London, UKAbstract: Tamoxifen has been shown to reduce the risk of developing estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer by at least 50%, in both pre- and postmenopausal women. The current challenge is to find new agents with fewer side effects and to find agents that are specifically suitable for premenopausal women with ER-negative breast cancer. Other selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), such as raloxifene, arzoxifene, and lasofoxifene, have been shown to reduce the incidence of breast cancer by 50%–80%. SERMs are interesting agents for the prevention of breast cancer, but longer follow-up is needed for some of them for a complete risk–benefit profile of these drugs. Aromatase inhibitors have emerged as new drugs in the prevention setting for postmenopausal women. In the Mammary Prevention 3 (MAP3) trial, a 65% reduction in invasive breast cancer with exemestane was observed, and the Breast Cancer Intervention Study-II trial, which compared anastrozole with placebo, reported a 60% reduction in those cancers. Although SERMs and aromatase inhibitors have been proven to be excellent agents in the preventive setting specifically for postmenopausal women and ER-positive breast cancer, newer agents have to be found specifically for ER-negative breast cancers, which mostly occur in premenopausal women. Keywords: breast cancer, preventive therapy, selective estrogen receptor modulators, aromatase inhibitors, high-risk wome
Microbial transformations of naphthalene and pharmaceuticals under anaerobic conditions
No full textAnaerobic microbes are integral to the fate of organic contaminants in the environment. Polyaromatic pollutants are regularly found in anoxic environments, including wastewater treatment and subsurface sediments. In this dissertation, I combine microbial and chemical techniques to understand how microorganisms metabolize aromatic contaminants in anoxic marine sediment and anaerobic wastewater treatment. The first substrate described is naphthalene, the model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that established the field of anaerobic PAH degradation. Stable isotope probing of a new sulfidogenic naphthalene degrading culture revealed two organisms responsible for initial naphthalene degradation and a third probable initial naphthalene degrader. Two were closely related to the known isolated anaerobic naphthalene degraders, while the third was distantly related to its closest described organism. This third organism likely represents a new taxon of naphthalene degraders. Using classic anaerobic enrichment techniques, I also enriched for communities able to transform the pharmaceuticals naproxen and diphenhydramine. Unlike naphthalene, however, microbes did not mineralize the pharmaceutical substrates to CO2. Rather, microbes removed the methyl substituent, leaving demethylated metabolites. These accumulated in culture with no further metabolism of the carbon skeleton. Naproxen was readily O-demethylated by microbes in both methanogenic wastewater and marine sediment. Community analysis of each culture illustrated the heterotrophic communities enriched during demethylation. In the methanogenic naproxen culture, bacterial and archaeal sequencing revealed a three-tiered trophic transfer of the methyl carbon from acetogens to syntrophic acetate oxidizing bacteria/methanogens. In the marine naproxen transforming culture, a diverse fermentative community was enriched. The microbial community in the wastewater diphenhydramine culture was also enriched for fermenting organisms. In all cultures, the removal of the methyl substituent supported heterotrophic microbial communities. As seen in naproxen, the phenylmethyl ether structure is also abundant in many other pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Because of this, I also examined the ability of the methanogenic and marine naproxen cultures to O-demethylate diverse PPCPs. Both marine and methanogenic naproxen enrichments O-demethylated oxybenzone, guaifenesin, and methylparaben. We thus propose that in anoxic environments, phenylmethyl ether contaminants will be demethylated, and the desmethyl metabolites will comprise a critical portion of total contaminants. Systematic phenylmethyl ether O-demethylation can be extrapolated to a variety of PPCPs, with unknown ecosystem impacts.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sarah J. Wolfso
