Descreve-se um caso de sarcoide fibroblástico em um asinino em Ipaumirim-CE. A equipe do Hospital Veterinário do IFPB atendeu um asinino, macho, três anos de idade, raça Nordestina, apresentando um nódulo adjacente à narina direita e outro na cernelha, caracterizados por superfície alopécica, ulcerada, irregular e multilobulada. Realizou-se a exérese e exame histopatológico. Microscopicamente observaram-se massas infiltrativas de células mesenquimais dispostas em feixes e redemoinhos entremeados por fibras colágenas distendendo a derme, e na epiderme áreas de acantose e projeções pseudoepiteliomatosas para a derme e acentuada hiperqueratose paraqueratótica. O diagnóstico baseou-se nas características macroscópicas e histopatológicas das lesões, sendo este o primeiro relato desta neoplasia acometendo um asinino Nordestino no estado do Ceará.

Fístula é uma conexão entre um espaço patológico e uma cavidade do corpo anatômico ou superfície da pele. Mucocele refere-se a um acúmulo de saliva no tecido subcutâneo resultante de uma glândula ou ducto salivar rompido. O presente trabalho objetiva relatar um caso de fístula oral interna como diagnóstico diferencial de mucocele salivar, em cão sem raça definida não descrito em literaturas, atendido no hospital Adílio Santos de Azevedo no IFPB, campus Sousa. O tutor relatou que após uma briga entre cães notou um “caroço” na parte inferior do queixo à esquerda, que vinha crescendo progressivamente. No exame físico o animal apresentava aumento na região submandibular esquerda com áreas centrais firmes e extremidades com conteúdo fluido, drenando secreção serosanguinolenta de dentro da cavidade oral com odor fétido e lesões de mordidas na face. Apenas no procedimento cirúrgico foi identificado a presença de uma fístula oral interna. Entretanto, não foi suficiente para confirmar o diagnóstico de fístula oral e descartar o diagnóstico de mucocele salivar, pois na reavaliação o animal apresentou uma fístula cutânea externa com presença de tecido de granulação. As mucoceles salivares são revestidas por tecido de granulação ocasionada pela inflamação causada pela saliva. No caso relatado, após acompanhamento diário e avaliação de 60 dias de pós operatório a ferida apresentava cicatrizada, ausência de aumento de volume na região submandibular, confirmando o diagnóstico de fístula oral interna. Com isso, vimos a importância de incluir como diagnóstico diferencial de mucocele salivar as fístulas orais internas fato não descrito na literatura.

Recenzowaną książkę Michała Piepiórki Rockefellerowie i Marks nad Warszawą. Polskie filmy fabularne wobec transformacji gospodarczej (2019) autor uznaje za inspirującą i kompetentną próbę zbadania, jak rodzime kino fabularne (z lat 1989-2013) opowiadało o polskiej rzeczywistości po roku 1989, czyli po przełomie ustrojowym. Autor recenzji przedstawia założenia metodologiczne badacza, precyzuje jego zainteresowania tematyczne (skupione wokół kwestii gospodarczych), sugeruje też pewne uzupełnienia dotyczące bibliografii. Za jeden z największych atutów książki Piepiórki recenzent uznaje jego założenie, by właściwie całkowicie zrezygnować z estetycznego wartościowania dzieł filmowych na rzecz zdystansowanej interpretacji tych wszystkich tytułów, które wydają się istotne w kontekście przedsięwziętego działania badawczego.
Obrazy, zmysły i ciała. O wizualnej dynamice u progu biomediów
Authors: Celiński Piotr
Published: November 2020

Status oraz strukturę obrazów i wizualności kształtują dziś dwie strategie kulturowe. Pierwsza dotyczy restrukturyzacji sposobów ich postrzegania na skutek zmian w obrębie kulturowej organizacji zmysłów; druga polega na unieważnianiu bądź pomijaniu percepcji zmysłowej oraz łączeniu obrazów bezpośrednio z systemem nerwowym i organami ciała za pomocą biomediów. Celem autora eseju jest przyjrzenie się obu tym strategiom na podstawie teorii mediów i kultury wizualnej proponowanej przez Maurice’a Merleau-Ponty’ego, Johna Bergera, Didiera Anzieu czy Melinę Diaconu. Refleksji towarzyszy charakterystyka wybranych przykładów z twórczości Yvesa Kleina, Björk i Jasona Derulo. Takie zestawienie teorii i praktyk kultury mediów wizualnych skłania do stawiania pytań o przyszłe losy patrzenia, widzenia i zdolności do posługiwania się komunikatami wizualnymi w porządku cyfrowym i sieciowym.
Odczuwanie obcości. Afektywność współczesnego science fiction
Authors: Szczekała Barbara
Published: November 2020

Artykuł jest afektywną analizą współczesnych filmów science fiction z perspektywy specyfiki kobiecego doświadczenia. Cechą charakterystyczną najnowszych produkcji fantastycznonaukowych jest afektywno-emocjonalny kontakt z pozaziemską obcością. Doświadczenie to jest ucieleśniane także przez widzów. Mimo ikonografii oraz prób popularyzacji nauki właściwych gatunkowi, trybem narracyjnym omawianych filmów (m.in. Anihilacji /2018/, Interstellara /2014/ i Nowego początku /2016/) jest melodramat, w którym bohaterki poznają i działają nie tylko dzięki wiedzy i rozumowaniu, lecz także poprzez emocje i afekty. W artykule analizowane są następujące aspekty filmów science fiction ostatniej dekady: cielesne doświadczanie obcości, afektywne sprzężenia między obcym a swoim, alternatywne doświadczanie czasu mediowanego niestandardową narracją, fokalizacja i kinodynamika kosmicznych spektakli oraz afektywne doświadczenia odbiorcze: ucieleśnienie, empatia i identyfikacja.
Z zimną krwią. Doświadczeniowy wymiar „Zapisu zbrodni” Andrzeja Trzosa-Rastawieckiego
Authors: Dudziński Robert
Published: November 2020

Przedmiotem artykułu jest film Zapis zbrodni (reż. Andrzej Trzos-Rastawiecki, 1974), którego scenariusz bazował na prawdziwej historii Konstantego Federa i Janusza Dębińskiego – w 1972 r. zamordowali oni w celach rabunkowych dwóch przypadkowych mężczyzn. Autor stara się opisać konstruowaną przez reżysera sytuację komunikacyjną oraz afektywne i emocjonalne oddziaływanie filmu na odbiorcę. W tym celu analizie zostały poddane: zastosowany w Zapisie zbrodni model narracji, sylwetki głównych bohaterów oraz zmysłowy i cielesny wymiar filmu. Bliższe przyjrzenie się tym aspektom dzieła Trzosa-Rastawieckiego pozwala zauważyć, że przedstawiony w filmie obraz zbrodni wymyka się potocznym wzorcom myślenia, regulującym nasze postrzeganie młodocianych przestępców. Tym samym Zapis zbrodni nie oferuje prostej odpowiedzi na pytanie „dlaczego doszło do morderstwa?”. Zamiast tego film mnoży kolejne pytania, dając widzom emocjonalny impuls do uważnego przyjrzenia się całej sprawie i ponownego jej przemyślenia. Trzos-Rastawiecki sygnalizuje bowiem, że personalny, moralny i społeczny wymiar historii dwóch nastoletnich morderców jest zdecydowanie bardziej złożony, niż mogłoby się nam w pierwszej chwili wydawać.

1. Higher Education and Alien Ecologies: Exploring the Dark Ontology of the University
Authors: BENGTSEN SØREN S.E. , BARNETT RONALD
Published: November 2020

The meaning of Anthropocene rests on the idea that there is a specific rationale behind the university and higher education, which is in itself progressive, educational, and redeeming. Institutions for, and students and teachers within, higher education, are more or less directly linked
to the structures and rational of their political surroundings and social and cultural environments. However, just as there is depth to ecologies in the natural environment, and just as there is strangeness and even alien forms hidden within those environments, so it is with universities and
higher education. They harbor hidden aspects, and these presences call from the dark, with their deeper and more unknown voices, even alien ones that seem to reach into universities not only from a future but also from a present that we cannot easily see or even understand. In this essay,
we shed light on these more alien strands of higher education reality; what we term an “ontological excess” of universities. This darker ontology helps us argue that the foundations of the university go much deeper, and is societally more tangled, than the immediate pillars of
the Anthropocene.
The Socio-Cultural Factors in the Common Strategic Planning in European Territories: Principles for Sustainable Development Extracted from Borderlands
Authors: Castanho Rui Alexandre , Loures Luís , Cabezas José , Garrido Velarde Jacinto
Published: November 2020

The large number of borderlands existing in European territory contains many ventures of Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC). Nonetheless, the management strategies related to such projects and the sustainable development they bring to the regions still raise many questions. Considering the little knowledge regarding the management and governance of borderland territories, the present research through the analysis of nine CBC projects (eighteen European border cities) aims to provide further insights from a common strategic planning perspective. The study was projected to locals, experts, and technicians related to the border cities' planning. In this regard, the participants were asked through questionnaires about their perceptions and feelings about the success of the border-cooperation projects in their area of residence or work. Thereby, the investigation enabled us to identify and isolate the five essential factors and challenges to consider from a socio-cultural perspective: (i) Sense of belonging and break cultural barriers; (ii) Diverse infrastructural offer - Euro Citizenship; (iii) Better life's quality standards; (iv) Retain young and talented people; and Public participation
THE ROLE OF AFFECTIVE UPDATING IN THE COGNITIVE REAPPRAISAL STRATEGY OF EMOTION REGULATION
Authors: Mohammed Abdul-Raheem , Lyusin Dmitry
Published: November 2020

Recent studies show that executive functions play an essential role in different strategies of emotion regulation (ER). The present study explored updating of information in working memory as a possible cognitive basis of cognitive reappraisal. Updating of affective information was examined, in particular, because cognitive tasks using affective material might be more relevant for the research relating to executive functions and ER. Sixty-three participants with mean age of 21.31 (SD = 4.03; 61% female and 39% male) took part in the experiment. To measure affective updating, an affective version of the n-back task had been developed using emotional faces as stimuli. Cognitive reappraisal was measured with Gross Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. A positive relationship was obtained between affective updating and cognitive reappraisal. It was suggested that ER should be more strongly related to affective rather than non-affective updating because ER requires the ability to control the processing of the emotional information particularly.

Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Linder N. V. , Kuznetsova M. O. ,   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: November 2020

The article examines the relationship of stakeholders associated with trans-Eurasian railway containerized cargo transportation along transport corridors from the Far East to the western border of the Russian Federation (hereinafter RW CT). A stakeholder map has been generated, which allows us to identify the degree of influence of stakeholders on the achievement of strategic goals, as well as the impact of activities on the implementation of RW CT on stakeholders. Using the method of analyzing hierarchies, a hierarchy of stakeholders was established according to their importance in terms of achieving strategic goals (in particular, increasing the competitiveness of RW CT). Also, a hierarchy of goals and interests of stakeholders is defined to achieve strategic goals.

A k-Nearest Neighbor Based Algorithm for Human Arm Movements Recognition Using EMG Signals
Authors: Al-Faiz Mohammed , Ali Abduladhem , Miry Abbas
Published: November 2020

In a human–robot interface, the prediction of motion, which is based on context information of a task, has the potential to improve the robustness and reliability of motion classification to control human-assisting manipulators. The electromyography (EMG) signals can be used as a control source of artificial arm after it has been processed. The objective of this work is to achieve better classification with multiple parameters using KNearest Neighbor for different movements of a prosthetic arm. A K- Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) rule is one of the simplest and the most important methods in pattern recognition. The proposed structure is simulated using MATLAB Ver. R2009a, and satisfied results are obtained by comparing with conventional method of recognition using Artificial Neural Network(ANN), that explains the ability of the proposed structure to recognize the movements of human arm based EMG signals. Results show the proposed technique achieved a uniformly good performance with respect to ANN in term of time which is important in recognition systems, better accuracy in recognition when applied to lower SNR signal .

Authors: Abdalla Turki , Hairik Haroution , Dakhil Adel
Published: November 2020

This paper presents a method for improving the speed profile of a three phase induction motor in direct torque control (DTC) drive system using a proposed fuzzy logic based speed controller. A complete simulation of the conventional DTC and closed-loop for speed control of three phase induction motor was tested using well known Matlab/Simulink software package. The speed control of the induction motor is done by using the conventional proportional integral (PI) controller and the proposed fuzzy logic based controller. The proposed fuzzy logic controller has a nature of (PI) to determine the torque reference for the motor. The dynamic response has been clearly tested for both conventional and the proposed fuzzy logic based speed controllers. The simulation results showed a better dynamic performance of the induction motor when using the proposed fuzzy logic based speed controller compared with the conventional type with a fixed (PI) controller.

L’interdiction française de The Birth of a Nation (la Naissance d’une nation) (D.W. Griffith, 1915) vue par la presse africaine-américaine
Authors: Spiers Aurore
Published: November 2020

Par un chemin détourné, cette étude s’intéresse à la réception de The Birth of a Nation (Naissance d’une nation) (D.W. Griffith, 1915) en France, notamment son interdiction à Paris en août 1923. À travers l’analyse des articles publiés au sujet de cette affaire dans la presse noire américaine entre août et novembre 1923, cet article montre que la France participe à une politique afro-américaine de résistance contre la suprématie blanche fondée sur la notion d’uplift et sur une conception transculturelle, cosmopolitaine et panafricaine de la conscience noire vécue à travers le cinéma. Ces documents d’archives révèlent aussi le rôle du cinéma dans la construction du mythe afro-américain d’une France dite « color-blind » égalitaire au début des années 1920, en même temps qu’ils nous invitent à réfléchir sur l’expérience des spectateurs noirs en France à la même époque.

Cette présentation du texte d’Eisenstein « Organicité et imagicité », examine l’histoire de cet essai et des différentes versions qu’il a connues afin de mesurer l’intérêt de la version complète ici publiée à partir des sources manuscrites. Elle examine ensuite la place qu’occupe l’œuvre de Hogarth chez Eisenstein, de l’œuvre graphique et picturale à la théorie de la « ligne serpentine » et comment celle-ci vient s’inscrire de manière structurante dans la réflexion esthétique du cinéaste qui, dans les années 1930-1940, tente d’articuler selon un continuum phénomènes naturels, processus psychiques et pratiques artistiques.
Buster Keaton, ou le travail de la comédie à l’âge de la reproduction mécanique
Authors: Gunning Tom
Published: November 2020

La lecture des films de Buster Keaton que propose Tom Gunning, dans cet article de 1995 traduit pour la première fois en français, envisage la relation qui se noue entre la manière de se mouvoir de Keaton et les mouvements caractéristiques du monde industriel taylorisé et fordien. Très différent du vagabond romantique de Chaplin, Keaton, réputé sans expression, reflète la concentration de celui qui essaie de trouver sa place dans un système impersonnel, trop grand et complexe pour qu'il parvienne à le contrôler. Il incarne la détresse de l'homme moderne essayant de trouver, dans le chaos de la circulation rapide et des machines, un endroit où il ne sera pas blessé. Ses glissades acrobatiques et ses trajectoires fluides peuvent alors apparaître comme le signe de l'adaptation à un système qui n'est plus conçu en fonction des besoins humains au sein duquel il est désormais contraint de se mouvoir.

Acteur de music-hall et de Caf’con’ venu au cinéma à l’époque des séries comiques françaises, Aimos connaît paradoxalement ses heures de gloire durant le parlant où il incarne dans une centaine de films des personnages secondaires extravagants. Face à des vedettes comme Gabin, Vanel ou Fresnay, au jeu réservé, intériorisé, il combine avec sa gouaille la gesticulation et les mimiques du muet en une véritable chorégraphie, celle-là même qui intéressait les danseurs d’avant-garde comme Rolf de Maré ou Valeska Gert dans les années 1920.
Marcel Martin, étudiant en filmologie
Authors: Forestier Laurent Le
Published: November 2020

Le critique de cinéma Marcel Martin soutint une thèse en philosophie et filmologie en 1955 à la Sorbonne (le Langage cinématographique) et à cette fin fut un auditeur assidu des cours qui se dispensaient dans le cadre de l’Institut de filmologie créé en 1946 par Gilbert Cohen-Séat. Tirés de ses archives personnelles déposées à l’Université de Lausanne, on publie dans cette première livraison des notes de cours de Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Étienne Souriau, Mikel Dufrenne et Georges Friedmann.
Le Comte de Griolet de Raoul Grimoin-Sanson (1920-1924) et l’opéra filmé synchronique au temps du muet
Authors: Huzar François
Published: November 2020

Cette étude vise à nous faire redécouvrir un film méconnu de Raoul Grimoin-Sanson (1860-1941), inventeur et cinéaste connu pour son Cinéorama notamment. Ce film, le Comte de Griolet, exploité de façon sporadique au début des années 1920, se proposait d’intégrer de façon originale le son à la représentation cinématographique. Ce faisant, Grimoin-Sanson estimait possible de voir se développer un genre nouveau, l’opéra filmé. L’innovation technique mise en œuvre, qui a fait l’objet de plusieurs brevets, est à replacer dans un contexte d’expérimentations de la synchronisation de l’image et du son. L’étude de sa réception et de son impact permet d’en évaluer le potentiel véritable.
De la scène à l’écran, dans les premières années du cinéma : le parcours musical et cinématographique d’un compositeur insolite, Michel-Maurice Lévy, dit Bétove (1883-1965)
Authors: Denis Michel
Published: November 2020

Michel-Maurice Lévy (1883-1965) appartient à une génération de musiciens français dont la carrière a commencé au moment de la naissance du cinéma et qui ont été particulièrement attirés par cette nouvelle forme d’art. Retracer la carrière de compositeur de Lévy nous permet également d’explorer le contexte culturel dans lequel ces musiciens curieux et audacieux se sont mis à produire de la musique pour le grand écran. Michel-Maurice Lévy a poursuivi une carrière parallèle en tant que musicien de théâtre parisien et compositeur d’œuvres lyriques plus sérieuses, tout en composant des partitions originales pour d’éminents cinéastes des années 1920 et 1930, dont Abel Gance et Henri Diamant-Berger. Cependant, sa carrière de musicien a connu des hauts et des bas. Sans abandonner son activité de compositeur sérieux, il se forge une nouvelle carrière réussie dans le music-hall sous le nom de scène de « Bétove », spécialisée dans la comédie musicale et le pastiche. Dans les premières années du cinéma sonore, il travaille également avec le réalisateur d’avant-garde Eugène Deslaw, créant des bandes sonores pour des comédies cinématographiques à une bobine d’avant 1914.
Accorder des droits à la nature : des retours d’expérience qui invitent à la prudence
Authors: Rouleau Juliette , Roy Loraine , Boutaud Benoit
Published: November 2020

Devant l’urgence des mesures à prendre pour contenir les effets néfastes des activités humaines sur l’environnement et l’insuffisante efficacité des approches traditionnelles à y parvenir constatée jusqu’ici, certaines voix proposent d’accorder des droits à la nature. Dans leur grande majorité, celles-ci considèrent cette attribution comme le fait de doter d’une personnalité juridique la nature ou une composante de celle-ci, et d’en faire un sujet de droit pouvant être défendu pour sa valeur intrinsèque par l’intermédiaire d’un représentant comme n’importe quel être humain. Cette proposition radicale, formulée dès les années 1970, a déjà été expérimentée dans plusieurs pays. Cet article propose une réflexion sur les apports et les limites des droits à la nature dans le contexte particulier de la réparation des dommages environnementaux et, pour ce faire, analyse plusieurs retours d’expérience internationaux. Il en ressort que malgré l’intérêt que présentent ces nouveaux droits, plusieurs incertitudes sont apparues lors de leur mise en œuvre dues en particulier à une définition imprécise de ce qu’est la nature et à de possibles antagonismes avec d’autres droits comme les droits humains ou le droit au développement. Les effets d’une telle mesure demeurent en effet largement inconnus et pourraient, compte tenu de leur force, être préjudiciables aux sociétés humaines et même s’avérer contre-productifs, alors même que l’introduction en 2016 récente du préjudice écologique en droit français offre un cadre législatif moins radical, mais potentiellement puissant pour une réparation rigoureuse des dommages environnementaux. C’est pourquoi il paraît à ce stade plus opportun de mettre préalablement en pratique les récents changements législatifs concernant le préjudice écologique, tout en continuant de chercher à mieux saisir les effets exacts que pourrait apporter un jour l’octroi de droits à la nature.
Évaluation des valeurs d’usage indirect des récifs coralliens et écosystèmes associés de Mayotte
Authors: Trégarot Ewan , Failler Pierre , Cornet Cindy C. , Maréchal Jean-Philippe
Published: November 2020

Les récifs coralliens de Mayotte (342 km2), ainsi que ses mangroves (8,46 km2) et ses herbiers (7,60 km2) procurent des services écosystémiques dont les plus importants sont la protection côtière, la séquestration de carbone, le traitement des eaux et la production de biomasse halieutique. La quantité et la qualité de ces services diminuent de manière régulière depuis plusieurs années et elles devraient continuer de la sorte si aucune mesure n’est prise pour contenir les pressions anthropiques. La couverture corallienne des récifs frangeants a ainsi diminué de 60 % en 15 ans et celle du récif barrière de 15 % en 8 ans, alors que les fronts pionniers de Sonneratia des mangroves ont régressé de 13 % en 6 ans. La qualité écologique des masses d’eaux suggère quant à elle un état dégradé des herbiers. La valeur monétaire annuelle de l’ensemble de ces services est actuellement estimée à 151 millions d’euros. Si les écosystèmes étaient en parfait état écologique, elle s’élèverait alors à 188 millions d’euros. Cet article montre ainsi que la préservation des écosystèmes côtiers est primordiale d’un point de vue économique.
Depression in older adults: prevalence and risk factors in a primary health care sample
Authors: Padayachey Uschenka , Ramlall S , Chipps J
Published: November 2020

Background: Depression in the geriatric population has been identified as a significant problem in view of the associated negative outcomes regarding poor functioning, increased perception of poor health and increased utilisation of medical services. Significantly associated with increased morbidity and mortality, depression has been found to be an independent cause of disability as well as adding to disability due to primary physical illnesses. Early identification and treatment of depression reduces medical costs and lessens caregiver burden. Epidemiological data and prevalence rates of geriatric depression in Africa are limited, although such data are vital to mobilise and plan government mental health initiatives aimed at screening and early intervention. Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression and associated clinical and socio-demographic factors amongst older adult patients attending a primary health care clinic in the Ethekwini District in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

Methods: The 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale and a socio-demographic questionnaire were administered in English to 255 geriatric outpatients, randomly selected, at a local community clinic in Durban.

Data analysis: Data were analysed using SPSS version 23®. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the sample demographics and response rate and non-parametric statistics were used to test for associations and differences.

Results: A Cronbach’s alpha for the GDS was calculated (p = 0.793). Some 40% of participants screened positive for depression. Female gender, widowhood and a negative subjective health status rating were significantly associated with depression and marriage appeared to be protective (p < 0.001). Participants with a poor subjective health rating were 21 times more likely to be depressed and widowhood conferred an almost fourfold increased risk of being depressed, with widows at greater risk than widowers. No association between depression and specific medical conditions was identified.

Conclusion: There is a high rate of undetected depression among the elderly attending a local primary health care clinic with widowhood and poor subjective health being strong predictors of mood disorders. The findings warrant replication in bigger samples.

Background: Osteoporosis is a silent disabling clinical condition often attributed to ageing. It is of public health importance because of its complications and attendant morbidity and mortality.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken of 2401 older patients (60 years and above) at the Geriatric Centre, University College Hospital, Ibadan. Candidate variables such as socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric indices, physical and lifestyle habits were assessed. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were carried out using SPSS 17®.

Results: The point prevalence of osteoporosis was 56.9% (males = 43.7% and females = 65.8%). The most significant factors associated with osteoporosis on logistics regression analyses were increasing age, female sex, lack of formal education, lack of engagement in occupational activities and living with relatives/friends. Receiving social support from relatives/friends, nonparticipation in sporting activities at younger ages, prolonged use of medications for peptic ulcer disease, hospitalisation on or after the age of 60 years and asthenic build were also found to be significant. Yearly increase in age shows a 6.9% (95% CI 5.4–8.4%) increase in the odds of having osteoporosis.

Conclusion: The high prevalence of osteoporosis among older persons in this study calls for concerted efforts by the healthcare workers to prevent osteoporosis among older patients.

A qualitative study of young Nigerian family physicians’ views of their specialty
Authors: Yakubu Kenneth , Hoedebecke K , Pinho-Costa L , Popoola O , Okoye I
Published: November 2020

Background: In Nigeria, the specialty of family medicine (FM) has endured its own share of identity crises. This study was aimed at generating hypotheses about what describes a practising family physician (FP) and the specialty, according to young Nigerian FPs.

Methods: Using the online platform for young African FPs alongside text messages and emails from volunteer research assistants over an eight-week period (March 3 to April 30, 2015), a purposive sample of young Nigerian FPs were asked to describe their favourite aspect of FM in a single word/phrase. Responses were provided in English/individual’s mother tongue. Translation of the words was performed by respondents and additional collaborators fluent in these languages. Thematic analysis using the grounded theory approach was performed.

Results: Twenty-four responses were received consisting of four themes: Scope, Family, Skills/Feelings/Values, and Professional Fulfilment. The resulting data portrayed the FP as one who possesses a unique skill-set, enjoys fulfilment in the profession, deals with undifferentiated diseases and is able to provide holistic care for patients (irrespective of age and gender) from a family-centred perspective. When compared with accepted domains of FM for Africa and Europe, roles of the FP in community-oriented care and primary care management were absent.

Conclusion: While this showcases the young Nigerian FPs’ acceptance of their role in providing comprehensive primary care, it suggests a lesser acceptance of their role in community-oriented primary care as well as primary care management. This study provides a basis for future, quantitative research describing attitudes and competence in these areas.

“I’ve got a long list for you today, doctor”
Authors: Ellis Chris
Published: November 2020

Every now and then a patient comes in to see me and starts with the statement, “I’ve got a long list for you today”, and I find myself gripping the edge of my consulting room desk just a little firmer than normal. They then unfurl, like a long scroll, their list or open a diary with two full pages of recordings on it. There is a law of the universe that states that this patient only comes in when I am already running 30 minutes late.
An overview of allergy and sinusitis
Authors: Magongwa Nicholus , Schellack Natalie
Published: November 2020

Allergic diseases affect many people across the globe. They are considered to significantly disturb the quality of life of the people who are affected, creating personal and economic predicaments. Some of the most commonly diagnosed allergic diseases include atopic dermatitis, rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and sinusitis. Some conditions, such as eosinophilic esophagitis, are on the rise and are being diagnosed across all continents except for Africa. The use of antihistamines has been the mainstay of therapy for most allergic conditions, except for other conditions that require corticosteroids, or in severe allergic conditions such as anaphylaxis where antihistamines are ineffective as main therapy. It is important to consider first versus second-generation options when treating allergic diseases, also bearing in mind the duration of therapy and any comorbid conditions that a patient might have. This article provides an overview of these conditions and their current management options.
