La fabrication contextuelle de l’hybridité en entreprise sociale : l’accompagnement socio‑professionnel en situation de travail
Authors: Bimonte Ayla
Published: October 2024

L’article s’intéresse à l’étude des pratiques d’accompagnement socio-professionnel en entreprise sociale. Au sein de ce dispositif « hybride », la dimension productive du travail constitue le moyen pour accompagner un public d’adultes vivant avec des troubles psychiques à (re)développer des compétences sociales et professionnelles. Dans ce contexte, l’article vise à analyser dans une perspective interactionnelle l’accompagnement accompli en situation de travail et à repérer les compétences interactionnelles déployées par les participants afin de concilier deux logiques d’action, l’une productive et l’autre formative. L’analyse séquentielle et multimodale d’un extrait d’accompagnement en situation de travail montre comment, à travers la mobilisation d’une pluralité de ressources sémiotiques, les accompagnateurs et les travailleurs en insertion co-construisent, dans le flux de l’activité productive, des contextes interactionnels orientés vers un objectif d’apprentissage socio-professionnel. Ainsi, d’un point de vue théorique, l’article propose une conception interactionnelle de l’hybridité : il s’agit de la fabrication collective, multimodale et séquentiellement ordonnée de cadres interactionnels orientés vers une focale constructive enchâssés au cadre productif. En fabriquant des cadres hybrides, les participants accomplissent simultanément plusieurs activités, qui se négocient et se transforment au fil de l’activité de production.
Accélération du rythme et flexibilisation. Le cas de la dégradation de la délibération dans un service comptable
Authors: Nusshold Patricio , Appéré Aurélien
Published: October 2024

L’objectif de ce texte est de présenter le déroulé et les résultats d’une investigation en psychodynamique du travail auprès d’un collectif de comptables dans l’industrie chimique et penser la place centrale de la qualité de la délibération collective. Le texte présente le cadre théorique, et la méthodologie d’enquête en psychodynamique du travail, ainsi qu’une étude de cas. L’équipe comptable analysée se retrouve dans un contexte hostile et tendu sur le plan relationnel, avec peu ou pas de réunions pour discuter du travail. À la suite de la présentation du contexte de la demande et son analyse, l’article se structure en deux parties. Une première partie traite des évolutions récentes dans l’organisation du travail, traversée par diverses formes de flexibilisation : changement de modèle économique, de hiérarchie, de logiciel, d’aménagement de l’espace, ainsi qu’une augmentation du nombre des intérimaires et des prestataires extérieurs et une réduction du nombre des salariés. La deuxième partie présente ce qui se passe dans ce contexte dans lequel les salariés accélèrent leur rythme défensivement : la délibération est mise à mal et les postures défensives se radicalisent. Ceci entraîne des difficultés sur le plan de la coopération et de la santé. Le texte met en évidence le lien entre la qualité de la discussion collective sur le travail et la capacité de penser le lien entre ces évolutions. Ce qui est à retenir de cette expérience de terrain est le mode dans lequel les pistes de transformation se sont dévoilées au fur et à mesure que le collectif de volontaires élaborait collectivement sur ce qui empêchait la coopération.
Resilience as stance: a linguistic-choreographic deconstruction
Authors: Lapaire Jean-Rémi , Neveux Julie , Blanc Mélissa
Published: October 2024

The words commonly used in English and French to describe people’s resilience in the face of adversity are related to force, movement and stance - literally or metaphorically. Resilience also bears a relationship to time and space, and ultimately to voice, silence and stillness. In this lecture-performance we propose a dynamic re-enactment of the main connections and processes involved.
La pluripatrimonialisation, conséquence des extensions patrimoniales
Authors: Marolleau Lucas
Published: October 2024

L’article propose de déduire de l’analyse géohistorique des patrimonialisations polarisées par le centre historique de Bologne (Italie) les logiques successives et simultanées qui accompagnent l’évolution temporelle du fait patrimonial, et ainsi définir ce que nous rendons par le néologisme de « pluripatrimonialisation ». Pour cela, nous menons une étude comparative des patrimonialisations architecturales et urbanistiques de ce territoire à partir des sites à portiques inscrits par l’Unesco au Patrimoine mondial en juillet 2021.Ce corpus est en effet l’occasion pour les acteurs locaux de mettre en valeur une forme patrimoniale typique et diffuse à l’échelle de la commune de Bologne, qui s’inscrit dans l’histoire patrimoniale locale. Sa définition suppose qu’ils se confrontent à la fois aux représentations exogènes dans un contexte de mondialisation culturelle (Gravari-Barbas, 2012) et à la sémiogenèse des corpus de biens nationaux et municipaux existants comme héritage et production de sens (Davallon, 2000 ; Rautenberg, 2003 ; Morisset, 2009). Le résultat labellisé est ainsi issu de rapports diachroniques aux patrimonialisations antérieures et synchroniques vis-à-vis du territoire et de ses dynamiques socio-spatiales. Ces chronologies patrimoniales donnent à voir les multiples extensions des statuts patrimoniaux et les différentes strates spatio-temporelles qui constituent un exemple de pluripatrimonialisation.
Les cas de conservation et de restauration de peintures dans l’Abecedario de Pierre-Jean Mariette
Authors: Salama Benjamin
Published: October 2024

L’Abecedario de Pierre-Jean Mariette renferme un nombre important de cas de restauration d’œuvres d’art, et en particulier d’œuvres peintes. Loin de se contenter d’un simple rapport de faits, l’auteur nous livre également une vision des plus critiques de cette activité, ce qui l’amène à s’interroger sur les méthodes employées ainsi que sur la finalité de telles interventions. L’intérêt porté aux nouveautés techniques promettant d’assurer aux œuvres une vie plus durable, ainsi qu’une série de remarques portant sur la conservation, montrent jusqu’à quel point l’auteur souhaitait éviter tout recours à ces opérations. Son sentiment, relativement original en France à cette époque, semble trouver son origine dans les rapports qu’il entretenait avec ses correspondants italiens.
Paul-Antoine Vigna (1856-1942), restaurateur de livres, d’estampes et de dessins
Authors: Coural Natalie , Desserrières Laëtitia
Published: October 2024

Auguste-Gabriel (1821-1873) et Paul-Antoine (1856-1942) Vigna se sont tous deux illustrés dans le domaine de la restauration des livres, estampes et dessins. Si Auguste-Gabriel, le père, s’est plus spécifiquement intéressé aux livres, Paul-Antoine Vigna, probablement formé à ses côtés, diversifie son activité : il s’oriente vers la restauration des estampes et des dessins après avoir repris l’atelier paternel, conforté par les connaissances techniques que lui apporte sa propre pratique de la gravure. Au début du xxe siècle, Paul-Antoine se consacre entièrement à la restauration des dessins et entame une collaboration avec le musée du Louvre et son conservateur, Paul Leprieur (ca. 1860-1918). Il œuvre dans diverses institutions et mène une activité d’expert parallèlement à celle de restaurateur. Il joue, au début du xxe siècle, un rôle premier dans le domaine de la restauration et de la conservation des œuvres sur papier et contribue à faire émerger une discipline spécifique.

La première restauration du retable de Beaune au Louvre (1875-1878)
Authors: Gerin-Pierre Claire
Published: October 2024

La première restauration de grande envergure du retable du Jugement dernier de Van der Weyden conservé aux hospices de Beaune a eu lieu de 1875 à 1878 au musée du Louvre, bien que l’œuvre ait été de statut privé. Cette restauration a donné lieu à un important échange épistolaire entre le directeur du Louvre et le président de la commission des hospices, désormais conservé aux archives des musées de France. Outre une précieuse documentation sur les étapes de la restauration de l’œuvre, cette correspondance est surtout une occasion inespérée d’avoir un témoignage sur les pratiques et la déontologie du temps, particulièrement sur le problème de la transposition de bois sur toile. En effet, un certain nombre de panneaux furent transposés à cette occasion et le directeur du Louvre dut à chaque fois expliquer et justifier ses choix de restauration devant les membres de la commission des hospices.
L’histoire de la restauration des peintures à la Médiathèque de l’architecture et du patrimoine
Authors: Pichon-Meunier Gaëlle
Published: October 2024

Au sein des archives de la Médiathèque de l’architecture et du patrimoine (MAP) se présentent deux ensembles utiles à l’étude de la restauration des œuvres peintes. D’une part, se trouvent les archives administratives (rapports rédigés par les inspecteurs présentés au cours de la commission des Monuments historiques et les procès-verbaux correspondants, pièces comptables, correspondance entre le conservateur – ex-inspecteur – et le restaurateur), les dossiers de restauration proprement dits et surtout les fonds photographiques.D’autre part, la MAP a entrepris de rassembler les archives d’ateliers de restauration ayant travaillé notamment pour les Monuments historiques, comme par exemple, en 2001, celles de Malesset-Genovesio. Des documents et des photographies nourrissaient déjà la documentation des objets mobiliers mais ces archives apportent un éclairage supplémentaire sur des restaurations non renseignées par ailleurs, sur des techniques d’intervention ou fournissent des tirages comparatifs avant et après restauration pour de nombreux tableaux conservés dans les musées de France ou dans les églises de Paris ; ils permettent même de connaître, dans certains cas, des commandes publiques ou privées plus originales de création ou re-création de décor.
L’oracolo delfico dei Praxiergidai e il suo contesto epigrafico (IG I3 7)*
Authors: Camia Francesco , Del Monaco Lavinio
Published: October 2024

Il decreto ateniese di V secolo IG I3 7 preserva un oracolo delfico sulle prerogative cultuali del genos dei Praxiergidai, responsabili della cura dell’arcaica statua di culto di Atena poliade sull’Acropoli. Il responso, in prosa, prescrive di vestire del peplo la statua di Atena e di celebrare sacrifici alle Moire, a Zeus Moiragetes e a Ge. Dopo avere presentato una nuova analisi dell’iscrizione, basata sul controllo autoptico, l’articolo si concentra sulla ricostruzione (e interpretazione) del testo del responso oracolare e del suo contesto epigrafico.
Taranto e l’enigma del tragos (PW 46 = Fo Q34). Oracoli, narrazioni locali, letteratura
Authors: Nafissi Massimo
Published: October 2024

Gli estratti bizantini che trasmettono da Diodoro (VIII fr. 29 Cohen-Skalli) l’oracolo Parke-Wormell 46 e da Dionigi di Alicarnasso (ant. XIX 1, 2-4) la sua parafrasi chiudono una lunga vicenda culturale e letteraria. L’analisi dei testi fa ritenere che la fonte di Diodoro, Myron di Priene, rielaborasse un parzialmente diverso vaticinio di tradizione locale, noto a Dionigi. Myron vi inserì tra l’altro un proverbio, τὸ μεταξὺ Κορίνθου καὶ Σικυῶνος, per mettere in luce la sete di ricchezza degli Spartani. L’oracolo descriveva il paesaggio quale sarebbe stato all’arrivo dei coloni, secondo le genealogie locali che volevano Satyrion mitico nome di Taranto. Si valuta il senso del paragone tra la vite e il tragos e tra il porto e il tragos, e si assegna l’oracolo a una fase della storia cittadina in cui, dopo il φόνος Ἑλληνικὸς μέγιστος di Hdt. VII 170, 3, non si poteva più immaginare Apollo che promette ai Tarentini di essere «flagello agli Iapigi», come faceva Parke-Wormell 47 (Antioco FGrHist 555 F 13).
The dark side of law ‘in context’: ex parte populi law as a new
Authors: Santoro Emilio
Published: October 2024

My strategy is to define the ‘dark side’ of law by contrast, starting from its ‘light side’. It seems to me that the latter can only be defined from what has been called the ‘logicist-positivist paradigm’ that identifies the clarity of law with the certainty of the judicial decision deduced from norms, assumed to have a clear meaning. This paradigm is based on the identity between normative text and norm, which has been commonly considered implausible by legal philosophers, but perhaps we could say by jurists, over the last seventy years. Nevertheless, the paradigm continues to be handed down and considered the framework for reflections on law. I argue, referring to Kuhn’s conception of a paradigm, that this is because the legal-philosophical thought of recent decades has been unable to develop an alternative paradigm, and I suggest that this is because the logicist-positivist paradigm appears inextricably linked to the liberal-democratic structuring of our legal systems: a law-making judge fundamentally denies the rule of the people through the legislature. As a starting point for the elaboration of a new paradigm, I propose a conception of law that is no longer regulative of people’s behaviour, but of public power. In it, the judiciary emerges as the interlocutor to whom one turns to transform the private troubles of marginalised and socially abandoned citizens into legal problems. I argue that this conception is able to recover, in the current context, the fundamental values of ‘democratic societies’.
Proposição, sentido e referência na lógica de Gottlob Frege

Assim, a partir de revisão de literatura realizada nas bases Scopus e Scielo, demonstra-se fissura a ser discutida a partir dos fundamentos do modelo lógico e filosófico de Gottlob Frege. Confrontando sua proposta teórica com a tradição da lógica aristotélica, são apresentadas as características elementares da noção renovada de proposição. A análise de tais elementos indica a originalidade e genialidade da proposta defendida por esse autor.
Análise crítica quanto à virtualização das audiências de conciliação e de mediação no âmbito do Poder Judiciário e os seus reflexos na garantia dos direitos de personalidade
Authors: Da Silva Gregório Daniely Cristina , Valente Giublin Teixeira Rodrigo
Published: October 2024

Embora previstas no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro desde 2015, as audiências de conciliação e de mediação no âmbito do Poder Judiciário passaram a ser realizadas na modalidade virtual, sem organização e planejamento, somente após a pandemia de covid-19. Tem-se, assim, como objetivo da presente pesquisa, verificar como essa súbita mudança refletiu no resultado dessas audiências e, principalmente, como a garantia de direitos essenciais ao ser humano, como os direitos da personalidade, foram afetados. A partir do método dedutivo e da metodologia bibliográfica, utiliza-se da análise de diversas obras e artigos científicos, bem como da legislação interna e de dados divulgados por importantes instituições. Conclui-se pela necessidade de se proporcionar que todos tenham acesso aos meios adequados para participar das audiências de conciliação e de mediação online, mas, mais do que isso, que os terceiros facilitadores e as técnicas autocompositivas sejam preparadas para essa nova sistemática processual, sob pena de causar prejuízos irreversíveis aos titulares dos direitos da personalidade.

Published: October 2024

With the acceleration of urbanization in China, urban and rural construction land continues to expand. In order to avoid “urban street view disease” in the process of urbanization, dynamic simulation of urban street view land is of great significance. The dynamic model of urban street view land can simulate the dynamic expansion process of street view concretely and effectively, and predict the distribution and form of urban street view land in the future more accurately. How to improve the accuracy of urban street view dynamic model based on geographic cellular automata has always been the direction of unremitting exploration in academic circles. In view of the limitations of the traditional genetic algorithm model, this study constructs a genetic algorithm-logistic regression model, and takes Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone as a case, and optimizes the best regression coefficient of the logistic regression model through genetic algorithm fitting, so as to realize the accurate simulation of the dynamic change of urban street view land.

Authors: Ruan Panchen , Fang Yifan , Li Zetong , Tang Qiansheng , Xu Liangyuan
Published: October 2024

To realize the automatic orientation and decapitation of shrimp, an integrated device for shrimp orientation and decapitation was designed based on the shape and size characteristics of shrimp, which was mainly composed of oriented rollers, shrimp pushing boards, adaptive clamping claw and knife for the decapitation of shrimp. Three kinds of shrimp of small, medium, and large size were selected. Taking the speed of the shrimp pushing boards, the horizontal speed of the adaptive clamping claw, the rotational speed of oriented rollers and the radius of the oriented rollers as the test factors, and the success rate of the shrimp decapitation as the index, the single factor test and the orthogonal test were carried out to study the effect of each factor on the shrimp decapitation, and then the main parameters of the device were optimized. The results showed that the optimal parameter combinations of the three sizes of shrimp were the speed of shrimp pushing plates of 60mm/s, the horizontal speed of adaptive clamping claw of 70mm/s, the rotational speed of oriented rollers of 60r/min, and the radius of oriented rollers of 20mm. Under the optimal combination of parameters, the device has the highest decapitation success rate and the success rate of shrimp decapitation was 91.5% for small shrimp, 94.6% for medium shrimp, and 92.8% for large shrimp, the decapitation speed was 36pcs/min for small shrimp, 38 pcs/min for medium shrimp, and 37 pcs/min for large shrimp. Therefore, the feasibility of the device design is verified.

YBT scores in the anterior, posterolateral (PL), and posteromedial (PM) directions in the healthy and reconstructed limbs.

Results:

A main effect for limb was observed for the anterior (Healthy: m4: 78.8cm±5.8, m5: 79.5cm±5.2, m6: 79.4±5.8; Reconstructed: m4: 77.2±5.9, m5: 78.5±5.1, m6: 78.1±6.4, p=0.023) and PM (Healthy: m4: 80.0cm±8.7, m5: 81.0cm±9.1, m6: 82.9cm±8.9; Reconstructed: m4: 79.3cm±6.8, m5: 79.4cm±8.2, m6: 81.1cm±8.5, p=0.013). directions indicating that the reconstructed limb performed worse than the healthy limb. A main effect for time was observed for the PL direction (Healthy: m4: 78.8cm±5.8, m5: 79.5cm±5.2, m6: 79.4cm±5.8; Reconstructed: m4: 77.2cm±5.9, m5:78.5cm±5.1, m6: 78.1cm±6.4, p=0.023).

Conclusions

The YBT measured improvement in the PL direction across time in the reconstructed limb. In the PM and anterior directions, the YBT did not measure these same improvements across this period.
Decolonisation is not even a footnote: On the dominant ideologies and smokescreens in South African higher education
Authors: Heleta Savo , Dilraj Isha
Published: October 2024

The turn to democracy in South Africa brought hope for a higher education sector that would play a key role in tackling racial inequalities and injustices. However, transformation promises ended up being largely smokescreens for maintaining entrenched racist and capitalist logics rooted in colonialism and apartheid. Instead of focusing on epistemic decolonisation, universities became commodified and commercialised neoliberal enterprises focused on the maintenance of Eurocentric epistemic hegemony. In this conceptual article framed within the decolonial theoretical framework, we critically interrogate how two dominant ideologies – the Rainbow Nation and neoliberalism – have sidelined fundamental transformation and epistemic decolonisation in South Africa. Focusing on the Department of Higher Education and Training’s Strategic Plan 2020–2025, we illustrate that decolonisation is not government’s priority and that neoliberal visions continue to dominate strategic planning for higher education. We argue that the lack of political will and policy alignment from the government will contribute to the further entrenchment of coloniality, Eurocentricity and neoliberal logics at universities. We conclude with the call for critical engagement with the history of universities and their role in propagating and supporting colonialism and apartheid and argue that progressive scholars and students must continue to organise within South Africa and beyond and work on the radical dismantling of the Eurocentric and neoliberal universities.Contribution: While other scholars have engaged separately with neoliberalism and the Rainbow Nation and their impact on higher education in South Africa, in this article, we bring these two ideologies together to show how they have combined to prevent decolonisation of higher education.

Published: October 2024

Congenital atrichia a rare form of alopecia in children, presents with complete absence or sparse hair over the scalp and body, while the teeth, nails, and sweat glands are normal. Uncommonly, this hair abnormality can be associated with any systemic or cutaneous abnormalities. We report three cases of congenital atrichia with parental nonconsanguinity and central nervous associations such as developmental delay,spastic quadriparesis, failure to thrive, myoclonic seizures, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The presence of papular lesions in two among the three children further supplemented our case report. Genetic analysis and counseling regarding the constancy of the condition will be the foremost important part of management.
Assessment of Food Wastage in Hostel Messes – An Exploratory Qualitative Study
Authors: Rajalakshmi M. , Harshavardhini S.
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

The level of food waste must be assessed to ensure food security, as increasing agricultural productivity alone will not be sufficient. A common contributor to food waste is unintentionally heaping the plate with more food than is intended. In areas with a mass group and an endless supply of food, like a hostel mess, the amount of food wasted rises drastically. Thus, we planned to explore the reasons of food wastage amongst the resident students in the hostel mess and to know the possible solutions to reduce its waste.

Methodology:

It was a qualitative exploratory study carried out amongst 50 students residing in girls’ and boys’ hostel of tertiary care teaching hospital. Informed consent was taken from all the study participants. Free listing was done to find the reasons and possible solutions of food wastage with validated interview guide. The data were entered and analysed using Visual Anthropac software.

Results:

The three categories emerged from the reasons of food wastage were student-related factors, mess staff-related factors and management-/warden-related factors. The most salient student-related factors voted for food wastage were 20% ordering food from outside without prior intimation, 15% said that they deliberately waste food as they paid for it, 60% of the participants felt that the taste of the food was not up to the level and 45% proclaimed that cooking more food than required. The management-related factors were monotonous menu (35%).

Conclusion:

Despite surplus food production wastage of food occurs due to the lethargic behaviour of everyone on food wastage. It is imperative for each one of us to judiciously consume food which is required which solves half of the problems of wastage and the unmanageable wasting can be used to create energy or other purposes in order to prevent complete wastage and produce energy.
Perioperative approaches to prevent delayed neurocognitive recovery and postoperative neurocognitive disorder in older surgical patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Published: October 2024

Background and Aims:

Delayed neurocognitive recovery (DNR) and postoperative neurocognitive disorder (P-NCD) are common postoperative complications affecting older patients. This review evaluates perioperative approaches for preventing DNR and P-NCD in older noncardiac surgical patients.

Material and Methods:

We searched databases for relevant articles from inception through June 2022 and updated in May 2023 (PROSPERO ID CRD42022359289). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) utilizing intervention for DNR and/or P-NCD were included.

Results:

We included 39 RCTs involving anesthetic (25 RCTs, 7422 patients) and other pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches (14 RCTs, 2210 patients). Seventeen trials investigating four interventions were included in the meta-analysis for DNR. Perioperative dexmedetomidine (relative risk [RR]: 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.35–0.97; P = 0.04) and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) (RR: 0.81, 95% CI: 0.66–0.98; P = 0.03) significantly decreased the risk of DNR versus control. There was no significant decrease in the risk of DNR with regional anesthesia (RA) versus general anesthesia (GA) (RR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.63–1.26) or bispectral index (BIS) monitoring (RR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.60–1.04) versus the control groups. Evidence regarding the effects of interventions on P-NCD is limited. Although all included trials were at low risk of bias, the quality of meta-analysis pooled estimates was low.

Conclusions:

Our meta-analysis of RCTs showed that dexmedetomidine and TIVA decrease the risk of DNR in older patients undergoing noncardiac surgery by 41% and 20%, respectively, versus control. Further RCTs of adequate power and methodology on the effects of interventions on DNR and P-NCD are warranted.
Can Inactivated Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccine Cause Bilateral Neurotrophic Keratopathy?
Authors: Belviranli Selman , Oltulu Refik , Mirza Enver , Adam Mehmet , Gundogan Ali Osman
Published: October 2024

Purpose:

To present a case of bilateral neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) following an inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine administration.

Methods:

Case report.

Results:

A 46-year-old female patient was referred to our cornea department with unhealing corneal epithelial defects in both eyes. The patient’s complaints, including ocular redness, sensitivity to light and blurred vision, started 1 week after the second dose of CoronaVac® vaccine and continued to increase for 2 months. Ophthalmological examination revealed mild ocular redness, epithelial defects in the central cornea, and decreased corneal sensitivity in both eyes. No pathology that could cause NK was detected in the patient’s anamnesis and tests. Treatment including bandage contact lens application, autologous serum eye drops, preservative-free artificial tears, and oral doxycycline resulted in closure of the epithelial defect on the 10th day, and on the 2-month follow-up visit, it was observed that corneal sensitivity had increased.

Conclusions:

In the presented case, it is thought that bilateral NK may be associated with the vaccine due to the chronological relationship between the vaccine administration and the lack of any other explanatory etiology. A cure was achieved in a short time with appropriate treatment, and the increase in corneal sensitivity over time indicates that the corneal neuropathy was reversible. Nowadays, with the worldwide administration of COVID-19 vaccines, ophthalmologists should keep in mind that, although rare, NK manifestation may still be encountered after vaccination.

Published: October 2024

Objective:

There have been few reported cases of muscle arteriovenous malformations in the literature to date.

Case Report:

We present the case of a 24-year-old male with an arteriovenous malformation involving the quadriceps tendon, presenting with recurrent episodes of pain and swelling in the right knee. The patient was treated with selective embolization of feeding arteries to the tumor, followed by surgical excision of the mass, and showed resolution of symptoms at 1 month follow-up.

Conclusion:

Selective embolization of the feeding artery results in the reduction of the tumor mass, and excision of the tumor becomes bloodless, easy, and safe.
