Follow-up Observations of the Second and Third Known Pulsating Hot DQ White Dwarfs (2009)

Dufour, P., Green, E. M., Fontaine, G., Brassard, P., Francoeur, M., Latour, M.

We present follow-up time-series photometric observations that confirm and extend the results of the significant discovery made by Barlow et al.(2008) that the Hot DQ white dwarfs SDSS...

Follow-up Studies of the Pulsating Magnetic White Dwarf SDSS J142625.71+575218.3 (2009)

Green, E. M., Dufour, P., Fontaine, G., Brassard, P.

We present a follow-up analysis of the unique magnetic luminosity-variable carbon-atmosphere white dwarf SDSS J142625.71+575218.3. This includes the results of some 106.4 h of integrated light...

The Solar Neighborhood. XXI. Parallax Results from the CTIOPI 0.9m Program: 20 New Members of the 25 Parsec White Dwarf Sample (2009)

Subasavage, John P., Jao, Wei-Chun, Henry, Todd J., Bergeron, P., Dufour, P., Ianna, Philip A., ...

We present accurate trigonometric parallaxes for 20 new members of the 25 pc white dwarf sample as part of the DENSE project (Discovery and Evalution of Nearby Stellar Embers,...

A Progress Report on the Carbon Dominated Atmosphere White Dwarfs (2009)

Dufour, P., Liebert, J., Swift, B., Fontaine, G., Sukhbold, T.

Recently, Dufour et al. (2007) reported the unexpected discovery that a few white dwarfs found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey had an atmosphere dominated by carbon with little or no trace of...

Pulsation in carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs: A new chapter in white dwarf asteroseismology (2009)

Fontaine, G., Brassard, P., Dufour, P., Green, E. M., Liebert, J.

We present some of the results of a survey aimed at exploring the asteroseismological potential of the newly-discovered carbon-atmosphere white dwarfs. We show that, in certains regions of parameter...

The 'DODO' survey - I. Limits on ultra-cool substellar and planetary-mass companions to van Maanen's star (vMa2) (2008)

Burleigh, M. R., Clarke, F. J., Hogan, E., Brinkworth, C. S., Bergeron, P., Dufour, P., ...

We report limits in the planetary-mass regime for companions around the nearest single white dwarf to the Sun, van Maanen's star (vMa2), from deep J-band imaging with Gemini North and Spitzer...

Oral capecitabine vs intravenous 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin: integrated efficacy data and novel analyses from two large, randomised, phase III trials (2004)

Hoff, P M, Harper, P, Bukowski, R M, Cunningham, D, Dufour, P, ...

This study evaluates the efficacy of capecitabine using data from a large, well-characterised population of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated in two identically designed phase...

Typology of atoll rims in Tuamotu Archipelago (French Polynesia) at landscape scale using (2001)

M. Claereboudt, P. Matsakis, J. Pageá S, P. Dufour

Abstract. The lagoon of an atoll is separated from the ocean by a rim. As the rim controls the ¯ ux of water between ocean and lagoon, its structure is one of the major forcing factors of the...

Pancreatic metastasis of alveolar soft-part sarcoma: A case report and review of the literature (2001)

Kurtz, J. E., Andrès, E., Rohr, S., Maloisel, F., Mechine, A., Meyer, C., ...

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma is a rare tumour. Patients commonly present with distant metastases both at the time of diagnosis and late in the course of disease. We present a case of pancreatic...

Haematopoietic growth factor in antithyroid-drug-induced agranulocytosis (2001)

Andrès, E., Dufour, P., Maloisel, F.

Drug‐induced agranulocytosis (DIA) is often caused by antithyroid drugs. We retrospectively studied the use of granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐CSF)...

Immunological aspects of endometriosis (1996)

Vinatier, D, Dufour, P, Oosterlynck, D

The immune system probably plays a role in the onset and development of endometriosis. A general picture can be proposed. In some women refluxing and endometrial cells are not destroyed, either...

5-Fluorouracil versus 5-fluorouracil plus {alpha}-interferon as treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma. A randomized study (1996)

Dufour, P., Husseini, F., Dreyfus, B., Cure, H., Martin, C., Prevost, G., ...

Background: In 1989, S. Wadler reported very promising results (76% response rate) with a combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus α-2a interferon (IFN) in the treatment of metastatic...
