Low levels of Alkaline phosphatase alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are a biochemical hallmark of the disease. Scarce knowledge about the prevalence of ALPL HPP in Scandinavia exists, and the variable clinical presentations make diagnostics challenging. The aim of this Hypophosphatasia study was to investigate the prevalence of ALPL variants as well as the clinical and biochemical features among Osteoporosis adults with endocrinological diagnoses and persistent hypophosphatasaemia. Bisphosphonates Methods: A biochemical database containing ALP measurements of 26,121 individuals was reviewed to identify adults above 18 years of age with persistently low levels of ALP beneath range (≤ 35 ± 2.7 U/L). ALPL genetic testing, biochemical evaluations and assessment of clinical features by a systematic questionnaire among included patients, were performed. Results: Among 24 participants, thirteen subjects (54.2%) revealed a disease-causing variant in ALPL and re­ ported mild clinical features of HPP, of which musculoskeletal pain was the most frequently reported (n = 9). The variant c. 571G > A; p.(Glu191Lys) was identified in six subjects, and an unreported missense variant (c.1019A > C; p.(His340Pro)) as well as a deletion of exon 2 were detected by genetic screening. Biochemical analyses showed no significantdifferences in ALP (p = 0.059), the bone specificalkaline phosphatase (BALP) (p = 0.056) 0 and pyridoxal-5 -phosphate (PLP) (p = 0.085) between patients with an ALPL variant and negative genetic screening. Patients with a variant in ALPL had significantlyhigher PLP levels than healthy controls (p = 0.002). We observed normal ALP activity in some patients classifiedas mild HPP, and slightly increased levels of PLP in two subjects with normal genetic screening and four healthy controls. Among 51 patients with persistent hypophosphatasaemia, fifteen subjects (29.4%) received antiresorptive treatment. Two patients with unrecog­ nized HPP were treated with bisphosphonates and did not show complications due to the treatment. Conclusions: Pathogenic variants in ALPL are common among patients with endocrinological diagnoses and low ALP. Regarding diagnostics, genetic testing is necessary to identify mild HPP due to fluctuating biochemical findings. Antiresorptive treatment is a frequent reason for hypophosphatasaemia and effects of these agents in adults with a variant in ALPL and osteoporosis remain unclear and require further studies. * Corresponding author.

  • Fernando Canovas
    FERNANDO CANOVAS Born in Argentina in 1960 to an inventor/sculptor father, it was always clear that Fernando Canovas was destined to be an artist. Impressed by the personality, originality and impeccable execution of his earliest works as a child in Buenos Aires, his teachers encouraged him to further his artistic studies in Europe or the United States. Following his arrival at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Canovas began to win accolades. He was chosen from among hundreds of applicants to study with Pierre Alechinsky and was also chosen as a student by surrealist Roberto Matta. By the beginning of his third year, Canovas was the top student at the school, and his work was coveted by many galleries who fought to represent him. In his work, he shows a deep concern about space and time. His intent is to capture them, and, as a result, his paintings emanate a strong sensation of vertigo and have a no-space, no-time feeling. In his latest spatial projects, he incorporates collage in his compositions to take the image into the three dimensional world. Renowned critics, including Bonito Oliva and Lyle Rexer, have written about his art, and his works today are part of many important collections. He currently splits his time between Buenos Aires, Paris and New York.

  • The Perception of the Body in Diderot's Art Criticism and in Modern Aesthetics and Visual Art1
    The percepTion of The body in dideroT's arT criTicism and in modern aesTheTics and visual arT1 by else marie bukdahl ''The landscape thinks itself in me and i am its consciousness'' paul cézanne (in merleau-ponty 1948a: 17) The french philosopher, encyclopédiste and art critic ('avant la lettre'), denis di- derot, was in many ways a precursor to contemporary theoreticians and theories of art, especially as embodied in the intertwining of spectator and art work in the modern tradition, inspired by the phenomenologist maurice merleau-ponty. in this tradition, mind and body are not separated in a cartesian cleavage; rather, the mind (including our perception of the world) is intimately related to the world that we perceive. When interacting with a work of art, we do not merely look at it, we 'enter' it, 'walk' through it, using all our senses. referring to pictorial examples and quotations from painters, sculptors, and art critics, the article epitomizes these features, by which the interactive viewer is experientially drawn into the space of the art forms as spectacularly instantiated in works by artists like barnett newman or richard serra. descartes' philosophy, which had a great impact on Western art and culture, is predicated on a separation of mind from body, much like disembodied eyes with a single perspective. an important early philosopher central to dismantling the car- tesian model and introducing the idea of embodied perception as a basis for this was maurice merleau-ponty (1908-1961). When he wrote Eye and Mind (1964)2 he instigated an important turning point in the history of the aesthetics of art.

  • Louise Bourgeois: Ma Maison À Easton
    Louise Bourgeois: Ma Maison à Easton The neatly ordered jars set in the oak cupboard were a great comfort to Louise Bourgeois in the summer of 1942. Food rationing had begun that same year as the Second World War heavily burdened US supply chains. Government posters encouraged women to preserve local harvests and help feed their families, but Louise did more than set up food storage. She literally preserved the image of her kitchen pantry, and captured that moment in time through the lines and colors of her printmaking. Within her design, she reveals something of herself with the symbolic use of red-a color that signaled complex emotions for the artist. Bourgeois, Louise, During the War: Shortage of Food in Easton, 1942-44, woodcut on paper, © The Easton Foundation As a new mother of three young boys, she had all the concerns one would expect of a parent facing economic challenges, only for her, there were added anxieties: the traumatic memories of her childhood and the horrors she witnessed during the First World War in France. On top of deep seated fears of harm and abandonment were layers of guilt and shame at having left behind her family and friends in Europe. Here in Connecticut, she found a measure of safety that allowed her to reflect on these feelings and use the creative process to liberate herself from the disquiet that plagued her. Often, she would sit at the kitchen table for hours carving into wood with a small knife creating blocks for printing and sculptural forms. Her sons would marvel at how she worked with her hands as diligently as any typical mother might have been knitting.

It is only the second significant survey of Bourgeois’ work in Australia. The first was organised by the National Gallery of Victoria in 1995 and travelled to the MCA in 1996. That first exhibition, simply titled Louise Bourgeois, included works from two critical decades in her career: the mid 1940s to mid 1950s, when Bourgeois first exhibited her personages sculptures; and the mid 1980s to early 1990s, the years following her acclaimed 1982 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art In New York. Heide’s 2012 exhibition has been curated to follow on from the 1995 exhibition with a tightly selected group of works that are central to Bourgeois’ late oeuvre, and which represent the diverse subjects and forms produced in the last years of her life.

ABSTRACT Pycnodysostosis (Greek, pycnos - density, dys - defect, ostosis - bone) is a rare inherited disorder of the bone, first described by Maroteaux and Lamy. Pycnodysostosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, with incidence estimated to be 1.7 per 1 million births. Clinical presentation of this disorder include short stature, dolichocephalic skull, frontal bossing, obtuse mandibular angle, dysplastic clavicles, and short hands and feet, diffuse osteosclerosis, acro- osteolysis along with the finger and nail abnormalities. The main oral aspects are midfacial hypoplasia, a grooved palate, and dental abnormalities include double row of teeth, delayed eruption of permanent dentition, multiple caries. Pathological fractures of the bones occur due to sclerosis. Radiologically, skull bones appear thickened with open fontanels which look like ‘lakes of bones’, hypoplasia of facial bones, generalized osteosclerosis, open fontanels and cranial sutures, non pneumotization of paranasal sinuses, and fractures commonly in lower limbs.
