Text description provided by the architects. SITE & PROGRAMIn 2010, the town of Saint Germain lès Arpajon wants to acquire new equipment comprising a media library and a school of music and dance. This cultural center will replace the current school of music & dance and the current public library which are located in a small and malfunctioning existing building. The site chosen by the city is a long and narrow strap plot which fits in a larger scale between Chanteloup park overlooking the West and Orge Valley in low-cons in the East. The plot is steep and looks down to the valley. It’s framed by Rolland Garros High School on a side and by a cemetery on the other side.

A new path, created along the school to connect the main road to the path Chemin du Roy, distributes an eventual project of nursery which could take place at the bottom of the site. Courtesy of Ateliers O-S architectesORGANISATION IN PLANSThe program is organized as a continuous loop, joining the top square to the bottom square. The structural programmatic entities of the cultural center are the library, the school of music & dance and a centralized lobby (including animation spaces, auditorium, expectations and exhibition spaces) from where the whole building and the administration are vertically distributed. Floor PlanAt the Leuville Road, the project is approaching the ground to emerge from it down below the slope. The equipment clearly appears from the road Leuville, thus affirming this main access with a mineral and generous square. The public entrance of the cultural center opens between the two branches of the equipment as a welcoming hand to guide you through the building. © Cyrille WeinerThe design of the wall- panels, based on a meticulous framework gradually alternating with different shaded of glazed- panels and printed-panels, gives rhythm to the façade of the public building. Solid wall-panels are made of extruded aluminum measured elements to create a random feeling and hide all mechanical fixations. The roof is vegetated to increase significantly the inertia of the building and to preserve a pleasant views over the surrounding buildings. complemented by an clear architectural style allows the public building to become an attraction in the neighborhood but also a link between the Leuville road and the rive l’Orge The project was designed according to a comprehensive though about location

set up three world's records at Arpajon The car which was promised had not shown up as the Major and I were anxious to go to Arpajon There were several attractions in the vicinity of Paris on that day but the magnet that drew us in the direction of Arpajon was the Tentatives de Records du Monde organised by the Moto-Cycle Club de France on remarking that he was going to Piccadilly No sooner had he learnt our intended destination than he produced a copy of that morning’s paper in which was set out full details of the speed meeting we were to visit all three of us started away with much eclat—which is cryptic French for keen anticipation of “the doings.” through which showed the twin towers of Notre Dame on our port quarter through “the Boro,” and so to the gates of the city for Arpajon lies on the Paris-Orleans road A brief but irritating halt was called here an anachronism hardly less out of place than the modern English custom that permits one to buy cherries at an hour when the purchase of tobacco is forbidden and mixed population was already on the scene; and someone had built a fence across the road and with lordly disregard of the fact that it would cost us eight francs an hour and followed in our footsteps to view the proceedings I will not trouble you with an account of those footsteps slipping and slithering in the trampled grass over dry ditches and along the raw edge of cultivated fields After a mile or so our attention was thankfully diverted to the course on our left for a sound as of a bee in torment smote the ear the babiest little motor-cyclette that ever called itself an automobile Chéret lay prone along the spider-like frame The irrepressible Ernest Eldridge was an unstoppable force in matters of velocity becoming the last man to set a land speed record on an open road in 1924 and later still at the centre of the course where officials and others of the cognoscenti were gathered There was also a vigorous electrical generator busy making the ” juice ” for the timing apparatus and a huge loud speaker which swung about and reported progress to the crowds up and down the course Everything seemed to have been provided for including a first-aid outfit discreetly hidden behind the official stands Fortunately the latter was called out but once and so scared a gendarme that he made a wild jump into a ditch Meanwhile I had toddled on to the parking point at the further end of the course leaving the Major in company with George Brough—he of the cheery voice— to glean any good news during my absence those second two miles—did I say that the day was bright and hot?—but a pressman knows only duty and there was compensation in seeing some of our own men flash by on their attempts to win more world’s records for Britain A happy party were busy at the further end Cyril Pullin and his brother; Vivian Prestwich partially disguised in an Alpinist chapeau; and several others who are familiar figures at Brooklands all hard at work helping our trio of speed cracks An alfresco buffet reminded me that I had broken fast early that morning a flask of wine—but no “thou”—helped to fill the gap and it was time to start on the return tramp On the way back I was passed by the big Fiat and marvelled at the lack of confidence in his steering abilities displayed by the onlookers who took cover behind tree trunks or in the ditch they had not seen him pirouette around the brink of the Byfleet banking and streamlined in all except the tyres: what a ” bus” for a week-end run to Brighton as the mean speed of two runs in reverse directions over the kilometre but as a reverse gear had been left out of the car’s make-up the performance could not qualify as a record where he put up two world’s records at over 100 M.P.H Riding solo he attained the speed of 123.08 M.P.H Dissatisfied with the peculiar position arising out of the above Eldridge made arrangements for a reverse gear to be fitted to his car [Subject to official acceptance by the I.F.A.C had achieved the wonderful speed of 122.44 m.p.h All along the course they waved hats and cheered the appearance of the green jersey as our ‘Erb handed out the grand vitesse in the most approved fashion and I rather fancy that a goodly few of the 34 records put up that day will adorn the record list for some little time to come Let me add that the arrangements for the meeting evidenced careful and thorough preparation and the only criticism one could offer was that the meeting the standing start runs had yet to be carried through we started upon the two mile tramp to our taxi pausing only to enjoy a wordy altercation between a farmer and a hobbledehoy cyclist caught riding over his flourishing crop of chicory Of our reunion with our chauffeur—of our dash back to headquarters over pavé whereon our ample tyres enabled us to pass it through many “sports” cars less well shod—of our graceful acknowledgment of the hat-raisings of villagers who clearly mistook us for more famous persons—and of our pleasant surprise on finding that the hire of the car was amply settled by a payment of a pound apiece These were but sideshows to the big picture I append a few

tear in the esophagus It is most commonly caused by a sudden increase in intraesophageal pressure Early diagnosis of Boerhaave’s syndrome is crucial for improving patient outcomes The classic triad of symptoms includes severe chest pain and subcutaneous emphysema (air under the skin) especially in patients without the typical symptoms we present the clinical details of a 52-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe abdominal pain and vomiting for several days The patient had a history of chronic alcohol abuse and a recent episode of vigorous vomiting All clinicians need to be aware of this lethal disease its frequently unusual presentations and the importance of early diagnosis The focus of this case report is on an adult patient who experienced a spontaneous rupture of the esophagus The significance of discussing this case lies in the rarity of the condition and the negative impact that delayed diagnosis can have on the patient's outcome the patient presented with severe abdominal pain and vomiting which raised suspicion for Boerhaave’s syndrome The patient's history of chronic alcohol abuse and recent episode of vigorous vomiting further supported the diagnosis A 52-year-old man with a past history of chronic alcoholism presented to the ARPAJON emergency department (ED) on July 4th with abdominal pain and a four-day history of bowel obstruction He appeared distressed and showed signs of respiratory distress with low blood pressure and a rapid heart rate requiring an immediate volume expansion with crystalloids The Thoraco-abdominal examination revealed an acute abdomen reduced air entry at the right base of his chest Initial blood chemistry demonstrated a rise in inflammatory markers—white cell counts 19.42 G/liter (normal upper limit 10 G/liter) and a C-reactive protein 7 mg/l (normal upper limit 12 mg/l) with a significant elevation in Lactates 20.4 mmol/l (normal upper limit 2 mmol/l) The initial arterial blood gas analysis showed a metabolic acidosis with a pH of 7.09 and a alkaline reserve level of 5 mmol/L there was evidence of acute functional renal failure with a urea level of 18.1 mmol/L and a creatinine level of 226 µmol/L The CT scan with contrast revealed a perforation of the lower third of the esophagus with pneumomediastinum, right apical pneumothorax, bilateral pleural effusion, and cervical emphysema, along with gastric distension (Fig. 1). CT scan with contrast revealed a pneumomediastinum requiring the initiation of NOREPINEPHRINE and subsequent oro-tracheal intubation He was then transferred to the Saint Antoine Surgical Intensive Care Unit An endoscopy performed upon his arrival confirmed a 5 mm esophageal perforation located 39 cm from the dental arches within a mucosa that appeared to have a circumferential esophagitis starting at 25 cm from the dental arches and extending to the cardia which is situated 40 cm from the dental arches Initial treatment was broad-spectrum antibiotics using MEROPENEME with a later addition of with a later addition of FLUCONAZOLE The patient underwent interventional endoscopy on his arrival which revealed a 10 mm orifice located 40 cm from the dental arches within an esophagus where the mucosa seemed to have completely disappeared circumferentially over a ten- centimeter height with only the uppermost 5 cm of the esophagus having a normal mucosa There was also a Forrest grade 3 ulcer and a 15 mm subpapillary Forrest grade 2 ulcer The fistula tract was catheterized and treated with the placement of three double-tailed pigtail stents which were pushed towards the basithoracic right pleural collection A naso-jejunal feeding tube was also inserted The patient remained febrile and in septic shock requiring the reintroduction of Norepinephrine A repeat CT scan on July 13th showed the pigtail drains still in place in the postero-inferior mediastinal collection A new digestive endoscopy was scheduled and performed on July 17th The surgical management involved abdominal esophageal suturing with right anterolateral thoracotomy for right pleural decortication Left pleural drainage and jejunostomy for feeding were also performed The esophageal suture was covered with an anterolateral tuberosity valve extending into the posterior infra-mediastinal space The occurrence of external cardiac arrhythmias prompted the necessity for an external cardiac pacemaker which was successfully implanted on July 13th Surgical repair was successful and he made a full recovery discharged home within 1 month of initial presentation The timing of the diagnosis and treatment plays a significant role in determining the outlook for patients with Boerhaave’s syndrome Early diagnosis and surgical repair within 24 h of the rupture generally result in better outcomes and immediate surgical intervention are crucial for the management of this life-threatening condition this case report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive management in improving outcomes for patients with Boerhaave’s syndrome Boerhaave’s syndrome is characterized by a spontaneous rupture of the esophagus This condition is associated with significant morbidity and mortality with a higher mortality rate compared to ruptures of other parts of the digestive tract Early diagnosis and intervention are critical in the management of Boerhaave’s syndrome as delayed treatment can lead to life- threatening complications such as mediastinitis and sepsis Various studies have highlighted the importance of accurately distinguishing Boerhaave’s syndrome from other conditions with similar presentations Many published case reports comment on Mackler’s triad of vomiting, chest pain and emphysema, as key clinical signs and symptoms [9] Recognizing the various signs and symptoms of this syndrome is crucial for physicians to consider it as a possible diagnosis This becomes especially important when initial treatment approaches yield inconsistent results in symptom control Boerhaave’s syndrome has a high mortality rate early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention significantly improve the patient's chances of survival it is essential for healthcare professionals to consider Boerhaave’s syndrome in patients presenting with acute chest pain and a history of vomiting Boerhaave’s syndrome is often misdiagnosed initially due to its resemblance to other common conditions but a careful history and thorough evaluation can help reveal key clinical features that are characteristic of Boerhaave’s syndrome Some of the common presenting symptoms of Boerhaave’s syndrome include vomiting can aid in the identification of radiographic signs such as pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum It is essential for healthcare providers to be aware of these clinical features and radiographic findings in order to make an accurate diagnosis and initiate timely management These endoscopic techniques offer a less invasive alternative to surgery and have shown promising results in select cases of Boerhaave’s syndrome Surgical repair is seen as the gold standard with significant reduced mortality from early intervention within the first 24 h from presentation the patient underwent two attempts with interventional endoscopy it is crucial to accurately diagnose Boerhaave’s syndrome in order to provide timely and appropriate treatment including a careful history and diagnostic imaging such as chest X-rays and computed tomography can help in accurately diagnosing this rare condition Healthcare providers should be aware of the characteristic clinical features and radiographic findings associated with Boerhaave’s syndrome it is important to differentiate Boerhaave’s syndrome from Mallory-Weiss syndrome to ensure proper treatment and avoid complications endoscopy can be used to differentiate between the two conditions and guide appropriate treatment Accurate diagnosis of Boerhaave’s syndrome is crucial due to its potential life-threatening nature Prompt recognition and early management of Boerhaave’s syndrome can greatly impact patient outcomes Boerhaave’s syndrome is a rare condition characterized by a spontaneous rupture of the esophagus Timely identification and treatment are crucial for improved prognosis Preferred management involves surgical procedures such as mediastinal and chest drainage This case report highlights the importance of considering Boerhaave’s syndrome in patients presenting with acute chest pain and a history of vomiting or retching Increased awareness among healthcare professionals can lead to earlier diagnosis and potentially better outcomes in patients with Boerhave’s syndrome No datasets were generated or analysed during the current study Oesophageal
