✦ Synopsis

We studied a population of paraplegic patients in order to give prominence to a possible relationship between the topography of their spinal lesion and the occurrence of special articular diseases (P.O.A.).

According to the motor and sensory state of their spinal cord, we first tried to obtain a classification of these lesions (the usual one schematically separates 'flaccid' and 'rigid' paraplegics).

We mainly put the emphasis on this clustering step of the study:

-choice and meaning of the data and their coding;

explanation and justification of the method used: the similarity aggregation;

interpretation of results and discussion.

In this paper, we examine four classes of procedures of aggregation of local valued relations, with weights. These procedures are based on the use of a valued implication or coimplication. We highlight the existence of a hierarchy among those procedures, and show that some of them preserve the trans

Mutations in the DMD gene, encoding the dystrophin protein, are responsible for the dystrophinopathies Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD), and X-linked Dilated Cardiomyopathy (XLDC). Mutation analysis has traditionally been challenging, due to the large gene size (79
