Full textSince twenty years ago, access and use of medical data become major issues for health professional and lay people. In this context, multiphe health terminologies were be developped. Theses terminologies have mostly different format and purpose : SNOMED International for clinical coding, CCAM and ISD10 used for epidemiological and medico-economic purposes, MeSH thesaurus for bibliographic databases. Hence, and given the growing need for cooperation between health practitioners, a new "intreoprable" terminoloy base is now required. This work take place in a more global InterSTIS project (french acronym of Semantic Interoperabiblity of terminologies in French Health Information Systems) funded by the French National Research Agency. The goal of InterSTIS is to make interoperable the main French medical terminologies within a "Health Multi-Terminology Server" (HMTS). We use also UMLS to provide a large coverage of relations between terminologies. We benefit in the case of this PhD of an extensive experience in the Natural Language Processing field from a multiple CISMEF and LERTIM research projects

Full textThis research work aims at studying the functioning of Arabic terms related to organ transplant. Our main interest is tackling expression and conceptualization modes through intra-and inter-term relations set within a large corpus of medical texts. Describing how terms work is essential for any terminological application representing medical knowledge in an ontological setting. This description must not favor one type of relation over another as this would cast a shadow over the multidimensional term realization which is built on both internal and external levels. Hence, we try to reflect, throughout this study, on the data provided by the Arabic medical discourse of organ transplant and to examine, on inter- and intra- term levels, various semantic and morpho-syntactic elements while focusing on four important issues: terminological units with adjectival extensions, terminological units with annective extensions, metaphors and loanwords. The choice of the issues covered in this work is neither random nor arbitrary: it was made based upon the lexicometric and textometric data obtained from the corpus of this study. As for the approach, it is a bottom-up inductive description, i. E. It starts with observing and extracting knowledge from the texts in order to establish classifications as a first step towards representing concepts and generalizing conclusions

Full textThis thesis focuses on the analysis of the technical lexicon developed by the Canon of medicine of Avicenna (al-Qānūn fī al-tibb d'Ibn Sīnā). The objective is to identify the methods used in the creation of medical terms in the Arabic language. The thesis also aims at discovering the principles utilized to define those terms starting of this lexicon of this book. The main scope of the study therefore is the Arabic terminology and the terms which were borrowed from various common languages at that time, namely: Greek, Persian, Latin, Hebrew, Syrian and Sanskrit. The conclusion is Avicenna went beyond being a physician and worked in the linguistic development of medical terminology

Full textIn the biomedical domain, there are almost as many knowledge resources in health as there are application fields. These knowledge resources, described according to different representation models and for different contexts of use, raise the problem of complexity of their interoperability, especially for actual public health problematics such as personalized medicine, translational medicine and the secondary use of medical data. Indeed, these knowledge resources may represent the same notion in different ways or represent different but complementary notions.For being able to use knowledge resources jointly, we studied three processes that can overcome semantic conflicts (difficulties encountered when relating distinct knowledge resources): the alignment, the integration and the semantic enrichment of the integration. The alignment consists in creating a set of equivalence or subsumption mappings between entities from knowledge resources. The integration aims not only to find mappings but also to organize all knowledge resources’ entities into a unique and coherent structure. Finally, the semantic enrichment of integration consists in finding all the required mapping relations between entities of distinct knowledge resources (equivalence, subsumption, transversal and, failing that, disjunction relations).In this frame, we firstly realized the alignment of laboratory tests terminologies: LOINC and the local terminology of Bordeaux hospital. We pre-processed the noisy labels of the local terminology to reduce the risk of naming conflicts. Then, we suppressed erroneous mappings (confounding conflicts) using the structure of LOINC.Secondly, we integrated RxNorm to SNOMED CT. We constructed formal definitions for each entity in RxNorm by using their definitional features (active ingredient, strength, dose form, etc.) according to the design patterns proposed by SNOMED CT. We then integrated the constructed definitions into SNOMED CT. The obtained structure was classified and the inferred equivalences generated between RxNorm and SNOMED CT were compared to morphosyntactic mappings. Our process resolved some cases of naming conflicts but was confronted to confounding and scaling conflicts, which highlights the need for improving RxNorm and SNOMED CT.Finally, we performed a semantically enriched integration of ICD-10 and ICD-O3 using SNOMED CT as support. As ICD-10 describes diagnoses and ICD-O3 describes this notion according to two different axes (i.e., histological lesions and anatomical structures), we used the SNOMED CT structure to identify transversal relations between their entities (resolution of open conflicts). During the process, the structure of the SNOMED CT was also used to suppress erroneous mappings (naming and confusion conflicts) and disambiguate multiple mappings (scale conflicts)

Full textThis terminological study permits us to make a trip through the concepts of hospital security, risk, ethics, etc. We want to show the necessity of a reflection on hospital risk management, coherence of concepts, designations that put a name on them, etc. Also, we wanted to show the importance of taking into account globallly the notion of risk, not only confined in the notion of management. We marked, through our studies in ethics, some elements that indicate us that, within hospital risk management, an important work of interrogation on hospital practices exists : on a managerial level but also on values. Thus, we use terminological concepts and methods to describe – descriptive terminology – and to act – constructive terminology – on hospital security

Full textThe aim of the study is to characterise the generic features, both linguistic and discursive, of oral scientific research papers. To this end a corpus has been collected and transcribed comprising video recordings of 90 research papers given in english at international scientific conferences in 1993-1994 in the fields of geology, medicine, and physics (30 papers in each field, equally distributed between native and non-native english speakers), and a second, comparative corpus of proceedings papers in physics. The data are strictly controlled for the three variables of mode (oral/written), scientific field, and speaker origin (native/non-native). The approach is ethnographic and constructivist. Computer-aided text analysis reveals that oral scientific discourse exhibits a highly different set of linguistic characteristics from scientific research articles. The variable of mode is shown to exert the greatest influence, but certain features are field-dependent, while others vary as a function of speaker origin. The discourse analysis highlights two key features of the genre : the nature of the claims, and visual communication. The position of conference papers in the life of a fact (between laboratory work and certified knowledge), and the role of question time, leads us to attribute the status of 'proto-claim' to the knowledge claims of this genre. A four-part typology of the visual channel - the scriptovisual pyramid - is proposed and each scientific field shown to have a specific visual profile. Recurrent sequences of visuals are analysed and reveal the existence of field-specific modes of visual argument and of a hierarchy of visuals. It is claimed that in oral scientific papers the visual channel plays an important role in conveying discourse structure to a specialist audience

Full textThe goal of our search consists in analysing the metaphor in the speciality language which still constitute a reflexion theme not very well clarified. In this perspective, the analysis of the metaphor in the cardiology language represents a real ambitious adventure, as it is a will to demostrate that it is not only a simple way to talk, but also a key element of our thought and world experience. One of the major point of this work is to bring a reflexion and a contribution to nature and to the various functions hold by the metaphor in the medical terminology. To do it, we have presented a possible data basis model which throw light on the elucidation of certain questions reguarding the terminological metaphor. Thus, for us, there is no doubt that in the scientific activity, the metaphor is a need, a precious tool, but endowed with characteristical operating instructions. Yet, for a long time this vision of the metaphor was not in favour, as it contrasted with the Wusterian tradition wich had considered the metaphor as a non rational entity aiming at vague representations said to be not only subjectives but also devoid of any scientific rigour, and carrier of ambiguity. Our position is different. The metaphor is a path often followed by scientists who can appreciate its ability to produce knowledge and to denominate. We have also seen that the terminological metaphor has an undeniable walk-on part in the specialized communication, a fact that had been refutated for a long time. The terminological metaphor in the cardiology field carries out five functions : cognitive, heuristic, denominative, metalinguistic, didactic. Finally we will end with the idea of the metaphor presenting itself as a linguistic key with cognitive conceptualization amoung sciences field

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to prepare a French-Romanian / Romanian-French dictionary of veterinary medicine. In order to achieve this purpose, a first step was to study the methods used over time by the masters of the language. Our work methods have been offered by our more experienced colleagues and the ISO terminology norms. Thus, our research consisted in an essay to modeling the terminology work, on the way to find the best methods. In a second step, we established a research corpus, based on the methods of corpus linguistics. We have assembled a corpus of 2193 veterinary theses from 11 years (1998-2008) of the four French veterinary schools - VeThèses, on the theme of domestic vertebrates, theses available in digitized format. The term extraction step includes an essay to systematize the terms. The results of this work on the corpus formed a nomenclature and the VeTerm database. We plan to continue the researches in the direction of creating an ontology of the veterinary field, in order to create a dictionary of veterinary medicine that covers this field as best possible

Full textStories of Plant Names : the Jardin médicinal by Antoine Mizauld is a PhD thesis in French literature and French language supervised by Fleur Vigneron.This thesis is part of a CIFRE agreement between the company Herboristerie Au temps des fées and the Imaginary Socio-Anthropology (ISA) component of the CNRS 5316 Litt&Arts research unit at the Grenoble Alpes University. The aims of this agreement are to carry out researches on the images of names of medicinal plants and to participate in the development of the brand Comme des tisanes, by Herboristerie Au Temps des fées.At first, our research works focus on the edition of the Jardin medicinal by Antoine Mizauld, a sixteenth century medical treatise explaining the properties of plants with mythical stories and entertaining anecdotes. These works are followed by glossaries pointing out the names of medicinal plants and practical definitions to better understand Antoine Mizauld's words. The second part is a commentary on the Jardin medicinal which analyses the position of the author and the formation of images of medicinal plants emphasizing the use of myths and current uses of plants in the wellness industry. The last part presents an analysis of seven medicinal plants (french designations, etymology, uses and myths), in order to study their archetypical traits and to establish their cultural history.Thanks to synchronic and diachronic approaches, this thesis presents a theory about the formation of images of medicinal plants in the French language. It also allows to implement an innovative protocol to create goods or services, by using researches in literature and methods of studying images

Full textOur research was motivated by the desire to elaborate, through application of the linguistic theory of operations, an original treatment of english grammar in a course designed for french-speaking health professionals. As we felt we first needed to bring to light the specificity of those for whom we intended our didactic work, we carried out a survey of our target group. This survey, the results of which make up the first part of our study, aimed at specifying the profiles, linguistic needs and expectations of the health-professionals interested in following a medical english course. In addition, there is to be found a summary statement of the various types of courses and modules, the many learning devices and tools on the market, and the certificates and diplomas that can be prepared by the students. We present, in the second part of our thesis, our suggestions concerning the use of a metaphorised version of grammar: a result of our concern about the need to offer learners a coherent and comprehensible vision of the english grammatical system through vectors carefully chosen from medicine-related fields. All the operations associated with the three basic grammatical categories - the noun, verb and sentence - are analysed in contrast to those corresponding in other indo-european languages, and put back, for some, in a diachronic dimension. Examples in context, including articles taken from english medical journals, jokes and cartoons illustrate operations and general principles. Our "linguistic transgenesis" effort would probably have been considered to be sheer utopianism if it had not been tested out on students by means of questionnaires designed to assess both the popularity and the "therapeutic" effectiveness of our approach. The results of these evaluations comprise the third part of our research

Full textMy work begins with a study of terminology, retracing terms used during the eighteenth century to discuss what would eventually be recognized as hysteria. I t studies doctors' formation of symptoms into a category and efforts to convey an idea of hysteric maladies despite their contradictory expressions. It delves into how power relationships structure encounters between doctors and patients. It analyzes physicians' writing strategies and employ of literary genres. It regards the use of hysteria as a pretext for theorizations around class, sexual difference, geography, and race, and its invocation during the crisis of the Convulsionaries and French Revolution. In theatrical pieces, fables, and anecdotes, symptoms function as a system of signs. In novels, pathology is used to contrast conflicting interpretations of expressions and interrogate representation. French and English medical, political, philosophical and literary texts constitute the corpus of this study

Full textExamining the conditions of insertion of allophone medical doctors in migration, with a very partial knowledge of the language used in the field – francophone hospitals in France, this study, suggests a reverse positioning : acquiring / appropriating language while practising in the professional context and not learning it in a decontextualised way, to achieve social integration. Professional competence and especially its recognition are factors that facilitate access to language and to its appropriation through professional integration. This study seeks to cause a change in the attitudes of those working in the field of Language Teaching, Educational Sciences, and Medical Studies, so that account should be taken of what constitutes individuals’profiles (their historicity and knowledge) in the search of a more productive articulation between achievements and learning experiences (academic or professional) to be constructed

Full textDescription : Support Cares appeared in France in the 90s. Heirs of Palliative Care Mouvement and chronic diseases medicine take a singular place in cancer departments. Nevertheless, the definition of Support Cares is not harmonized within studies, practices and speeches.The stake in this work is to put this report, to analyze the causes then to propose perspectives leading to a common positioning in the contemporary medical landscape. It will so be a question of demonstrating that a definition of Support Cares is advisable and that a base of appropriate convictions allows it. Methods : A literature review by keywords was led to describe the use of Support Cares definition in the studies concerning them. Then, Recurring axes were cleared. The Support cares are defined as the quality of life improvement, treating the side effects, the care organization model or from the care duration. This literature review gives rise to a return by themes.A field work, based on the observation and interviews with 32 professionals, patients, relatives and associations was conducted within four Care establishments : Curie institute, Saint Cloud Curie Institue, Kremlin Bicêtre Institute, Henri Mondor Hospital. It allowed to test axes stemming from the literature review and to highlight new ones. Time, projects, body and notion of collective proved to be in the heart of the Care Actors speeches.This work is qualitative and not representative.Analysis and discussion : A first time reveals the references with which Support Cares are connected and the tensions they produce in relation to each other. The Support Cares are shared between philosophies of the action defining the disease as reduction of capacities, and Care philosophies repressing notions such as autonomy by studying the relationship. A second time allows to condense in three unanimous axes the Support cares positioning. First of all, Support Cares opress their actions an understanding time as real-life thickness. It is a question of accompanying the patient in a unique path progress, and registering the time of clocks, techniques and physiology in the time of the one who lives the disease event. Then, the Support Cares implement an understanding of the care as a collective act. The Care team establishes with the ill person during his disease. It understands nursing and not nursing professionals, as well as members of the civil society. It forms in the wills of needs and according to the stakes which mark out the route of the patient. Finally, the Support Cares break the knowledge medical monopoly on the disease. Every situation requires the collective construction of the desease understanding. It is a question of understanding the disease as crossroads of medical, technical, social, cultural, pasychological knowledge, but also as existential and emotional questioning.The deep conviction of the Support Cares is that the plurality of the approaches and the looks enable by exchanging to draw with the patient his possibilities and to bring that about

Full textThe first part of this thesis addresses the design of siamese neural models trained for semantic similarity between biomedical texts and their application to NLP tasks on biomedical documents. The training of these models was performed by embedding the titles and abstracts from the PubMed corpus along with the MeSH thesaurus into a common space. In the second part, we use these models to align and enrich the terminologies of UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) and automate the integration of new relationships between similar concepts, particularly from diseases (DOID), drugs (DRON), and symptoms. These enriched relationships enhance the usability of these ontologies, thereby facilitating their application in various clinical and scientific domains. Additionally, we propose validation approaches using resources such as LLMs, OpenFDA, the UMLS Metathesaurus, and the UMLS semantic network, supplemented by manual validation from domain experts

Full textMedical information collected during clinical care must be re-used to address other more collective goals. In this context of re-using data from a clinical information system for epidemiological research, the objective of this work is to study the contribution of semantic interoperability across a number of practical situations we have met and discussed which illustrate the nature of semantic consistency problems associated with processing of medical data.Coexistence at a given time, of several semantic repositories should not be considered as an obstacle to interoperability. Generic tools can be designed and developed to move seamlessly from one component to another with as little loss of information as possible. The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is one of the semantic integration tools. Its use in this work shows the generality of this method and its potential for solving this class of semantic interoperability problems.The richness of each of the terminology can, when combined into a single pivot semantic repository, enrich the set of terminologies individually for a better representation of knowledge.Semantic interoperability improves the availability and quality of reusable data for public health research. It also enriches existing data. It provides access to new sources of data, aggregated in a valid manner, allowing benchmarking or richer analysis
Cardoso, Silvio Domingos. "MAISA - Maintenance of semantic annotations." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SACLS338/document.
Full textSemantic annotations are often used in a wide range of applications ranging from information retrieval to decision support. Annotations are produced through the association of concept labels from Knowledge Organization System (KOS), i.e. ontology, thesaurus, dictionaries, with pieces of digital information, e.g. images or texts. Annotations enable machines to interpret, link, and use a vast amount of data. However, the dynamic nature of KOS may affect annotations each time a new version of a KOS is released. New concepts can be added, obsolete ones removed and the definition of existing concepts may be refined through the modification of their labels/properties. As a result, many annotations can lose their relevance, thus hindering the intended use and exploitation of annotated data. To solve this problem, methods to maintain the annotations up-to-date are required. In this thesis we propose a framework called MAISA to tackle the problem of adapting outdated annotations when the KOS utilized to create them change. We distinguish two different cases. In the first one we consider that annotations are directly modifiable. In this case, we proposed a rule-based approach implementing information derived from the evolution of KOS as well as external knowledge from the Web. In the second case, we consider that the annotations are not modifiable. The goal is then to keep the annotated documents searchable even if the annotations are produced with a given KOS version but the user used another version to query them. In this case, we designed a knowledge graph that represent a KOS and its successive evolution and propose a method to extract the history of a concept and add the gained label to the initial query allowing to deal with annotation evolution. We experimentally evaluated MAISA on realistic cases-studies built from four well-known biomedical KOS: ICD-9-CM, MeSH, NCIt and SNOMED CT. We show that the proposed maintenance method allow to maintain semantic annotations using standard metrics
