Un diplomate européen à l’épreuve de la guerre en Afghanistan
Authors: Mayaudon Pierre
Published: November 2023

La guerre en Afghanistan a montré les limites de la diplomatie européenne, trop dépendante des positions de Washington et manquant de souplesse face à la rigidité du processus décisionnel en place à Bruxelles. Il faut accepter de prendre des risques et exister face à la suprématie américaine en étant davantage crédible.

Memories of Brazilian soccer players: between the profession of athlete and life outside of sport
Authors: de Albuquerque Cavalcanti Everton , Mendes Capraro André , Moraes e Silva Marcelo
Published: November 2023

Cet article vise à analyser la mémoire des footballeurs brésiliens sur les dilemmes entre le métier d’athlète et la vie en dehors du sport. La collecte des sources a eu lieu à travers l’histoire orale, qui est une méthode de recherche caractérisée par des entretiens qui permettent de comprendre un certain thème à travers l’expérience et l’approche de l’individu avec l’objet étudié. Cinq footballeurs professionnels masculins ont été interrogés. Ces participants étaient des hommes âgés de 25 à 35 ans au moment des entretiens. Tous ont fait la majeure partie de leur carrière dans des équipes plus petites au Brésil et ont commencé leurs activités dans des clubs de la ville de Curitiba/Brésil. La notoriété de ces joueurs dans leurs groupes sociaux respectifs a mis en évidence un sentiment d’accomplissement pour avoir atteint le professionnalisme dans une carrière professionnelle compétitive – niant ainsi l’hypothèse selon laquelle ils auraient échoué pour ne pas atteindre et/ou rester proéminents dans les divisions supérieures du football.
Twenty Years Facilitating Professional Learning Communities Across Difference
Authors: Peters Gregory , Holman RoLesia , Bocala Candice
Published: November 2023

Colleagues from the San Francisco Coalition of Essential Small Schools (SF-CESS) reflect on the evolution of its intentional learning community program called equity-based iGroups (individual inquiry groups). Over the past 20 years, a core component of the work has been intentional facilitation across difference – racial, gender, role, etc. These colleagues reflect on the ever-constant learning behind their planning, facilitating, and debriefing across difference and share a synthesis of learnings organized by a larger framework for transformation. The chapter includes examples of specific curricular design and facilitative moves and closes with an example of a protocol used to engage in anti-racist discourse.
How We Do the Work Matters
Authors: Phillips Jeanie M. , Martin Michael S.
Published: November 2023

How we spend our valuable professional learning time together says much about what we value. When designing agendas for intentional learning communities (ILCs), centering our core beliefs creates transformative learning experiences. Being intentional about what we believe builds learning communities that center beliefs in their work. The Freirean concept of praxis reminds us that convening is not enough: community members must intentionally shape their environment to “reflect upon their reality and so transform it through further action and critical reflection.” This chapter will outline how the authors continue to evolve their practice and turn beliefs into action in their Rowland Foundation ILCs. Their transparent meeting agendas, which explicitly connect purpose and practice, have helped strengthen metacognition and reflection in the ILC work. ILC meetings predicated on practice—with time built in to debrief along the way—have helped them reflect on how they do the work and develop their skills as a learning community.

Background: The contribution of the pharmacist in influencing health behaviours and raising awareness of the impact of self-medication (SM) is valuable. During the COVID-19 pandemic, SM was triggered by multiple factors driven by the fear of becoming infected. This study aimed to identify the determinants of SM during the outbreak, with a focus on the role of social media, and to determine areas where the active contribution of the pharmacist needs strengthening.
Methods: A pilot cross-sectional study using snowball sampling was conducted in thirteen countries.
Results: A total of 2369 participants with a mean age of 30.62±11.57 years were enrolled in the study. The determinants of SM were 1) sociodemographic characteristics, including developing countries (ORa= 0.670; 95%CI [0.49, 0.91]); 2) communication channels, where Facebook was the most used social media platform (ORa=1.624; 95%CI [1.29, 2.05]); and 3) content and sources of unverified information, i.e. television interviews (ORa=1.357; 95%CI [1.03, 1.78]) and videos with someone confirming the effectiveness of medication used (ORa=1.353; 95%CI [1.06, 1.73]). The perceived risk severity was associated with elderly polypharmacy (ORa= 2.468; 95%CI [1.87, 3.26]).
Conclusion: The pharmacist should collaboratively and actively contribute to the design and implementation of health promotion programmes and convert to positive the influence of social media.
THE XENON OF THE KING (KRALJ) STEFAN UROŠ II MILUTIN AN IMPERIAL SCHOOL IN CONSTANTINOPLE OF THE 15TH CENTURY
Authors: Petrou Elias
Published: November 2023

The “Xenon of the Kral” was founded by the Serbian King Ste- fan Uroš II Milutin in the Byzantine capital’s Northwest part at the be- ginning of the 14th century. Since its establishment, the Xenon played a significant role in the social, political, intellectual, and cultural scene of Constantinople. From the existence of an inn and a hospital in its premises to the foundation of a scriptorium, a bookbinding workshop, and an imperial school, the Xenon became probably the most important institute during the last decades of the Byzantine Empire. The colorful miniature of the scholar John Argyropoulos teaching at the Imperial School of the “Xenon of the Kral” on the f. 33v if the codex Oxon. Barocci. gr. 87 confirms its significance among the contemporary intellectual circles of the Capital. This article focuses on the establishment and evolution of the Xenon in Constantinople, its geographical and intellectual identity through various sources, and the protagonists who were active inside its walls. Where and why was the Xenon founded? Who appears to be related to it? What happened to the Xenon after the events of 1453? These and many other questions are being attempted to be answered.
BEYOND CONSTANTINOPLE: CONSTRUCTING ΧΏΡΑ IN THE KING’S CHURCH OF STUDENICA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Ćirić Jasmina S.
Published: November 2023

This article explores the King’s Church of Studenica, and its connections to the Byzantine Chora Church in Constantinople. By examining the architectural and artistic elements of the King’s Church, the article argues that King Stefan Uroš II Milutin sought to create a choral experience for the viewer, immersing them in a world of divine beauty and tran- scendence. Through the use of art and architecture, King Milutin sought to establish his strong cultural and political identity and assure the viewer of his divinity, elevating the prestige of the Serbian Land and its monarch in the eyes of both local and foreign visitors.
THE WEAPON OF HERITAGE: CONTESTED ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE AS TOOLS OF IDENTITY ENGINEERING
Authors: Lazarević Dragana
Published: November 2023

The notion of “heritage” has two meanings. The first one is as- sociated with sites of historical value preserved for the future generations. The second defines heritage as shared values and collective memories of a nation – both necessary components of national identity – which require management by state institutions. Nationalism studies revealed that national compactness depends on the ability of states to provide official interpretations through appropriate institutions. Heritage, thus, becomes indispensable for the processes of “identity engineering.” This article identifies theoretical models which direct the creation of national narratives, always followed by the (mis)use of heritage in situ. Presented models analyse the interpretation of heritage through both historic and current case-studies.
CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN THE SACRED ART OF THE RAMIFIED BYZANTINE EMPIRE
Authors: Johnson Nicholas
Published: November 2023

This paper will look for evidence of continuity and change in the periphery and centre of the Byzantine Empire in the late Palaeologan period looking at examples of sacred art from before and after the Latin occupation of Constantinople (1204-1261), I shall attempt to identify examples of continuity which served to reestablish Orthodoxy and note changes in composition, style and symbolism which have come to be seen by some as a Palaeologan Renaissance. My contention is that the visual culture thrived even when the polity and economy of empire were compromised.
„RENAISSANCE“ BEFORE THE RENAISSANCE: HUMANLY ASPECTS OF LATE BYZANTINE PAINTING. CASE: “THE ANASTASIS: AN IMAGE OF LIBERATION AND RESURRECTION”, STUDENICA MONASTERY
Authors: Yandim Aydin Sercan
Published: November 2023

Present paper aims to readdress the idealized Renaissance con- ception of painting starting with the writings of Giorgio Vasari, which paved the way to a widely stereotyped and prejudiced evaluation of the Byzantine art within the general art historical framework. Consequently, placing the latter one inferior to the Renaissance. Further the paper attempts to revise the conventional assumptions about Byzantine painting. Visual interpre- tation of a dodecaorton subject, Anastasis Christi, is taken to provide evi- dence in understanding the humanly aspects in terms of iconography and reception of the scene. Material evidence is obtained from the monumental panting of the Studenica monastery, (ca. 1313-ca. 1320). General outline of its iconography, communal versus individual resurrec- tion, and specific depiction of one of the basic elements of iconography, Hades, reveal the fact that there is difference in the mind sets of Eastern and Western Christianity. Libri Carolini in the eighth century signifies the different visual understanding and reception. Also, the text-image relation is greatly influenced by the involvement of either theologians of a col- lective monasticism or individual aristocratic prayer. Thanks to the recent scholarly studies on cultural history and art history, a wider perspective is possible in order to comprehend the content of their cultural memories that comes into play in interpreting and reflecting religious subjects/imageries. As a result, artists and patrons of medieval Serbia were able to not just to inherit but also improve the inherited Byzantine artistic language in a com- plex positive way. Altogether referring to a renaissance in their rethinking and execution of the Byzantine models and beyond.

Burden of Depression and Associated Factors among Patients with Sickle Cell Disease in Fako Division, Cameroon
Authors: Monono Naiza
Published: November 2023

Background: Depression is a major public health challenge causing significant suffering and disability worldwide. Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) suffer from various complications during their lifetime and are prone to depression. However, there is a paucity of information on depression and associated factors among sickle cell patients in Cameroon.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of depression and associated factors among patients with SCD aged 7-40 years receiving care in three hospitals in Fako Division.

Methods: We carried out a hospital based cross-sectional descriptive and analytic study. Socio-demographic data, clinical variables and depressive symptoms were evaluated using a structured questionnaire. Depression was evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire Module 9 and the Children’s Depression Inventory. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used for analysis of data. Statistical significance was set at p value <0.05 while bivariate and multivariate analysis was used to test for associations.

Results: We recruited 163 participants and the prevalence of depression was 43%(n=70), of which 30.67%(n=50) were mildly depressed and 12.27%(n=20) were moderately depressed. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was 20%. On multivariate analysis, an unmarried status (AOR 7.41; 95%CI 1.74-31.54, P<0.007) high pain intensity (AOR 8.70; 95%CI 17.77-42.82, P<0.008) and history of painful crises within the previous month (AOR 7.31,95%CI 1.52-35.14, P<0.013) were associated with depression among these patients.

Conclusion: Almost half of our patients with SCD are depressed, with 2 of them out of 10 thinking of suicide. Some socio-demographic and clinical factors induce this depressive state.
Pandangan Keselamatan menurut Luther dan Tanggapan Gereja Katolik
Authors: Serin Petrus
Published: November 2023

Artikel ini membahas tentang pandangan Martin Luther tentang keselamatan, ia menyatakan dengan tegas bahwa ia tidak menyetujui perbuatan manusia sebagai amal untuk mendapat keselamatan, melainkan seorang diselamatkan hanya melalui iman semata dan berdasar rahmat Allah sebab walaupun ia berdosa ia dibenarkan oleh Allah. Hanyalah rahmat Allah manusia diselamatkan dan dibenarkan. Hal ini disebabkan karena Martin Luther punya pengalaman-pengalaman yang mencekam. Lambat laun Kitab Suci menjadi kekuatan dominan yang membentuk pengetahuannya tentang Allah dan dirinya sendiri, lebih khusunya dalam penafsirannya terhadap surat Paulus kepada umat di Roma. Di situlah ia menelaah pernyataan tersebut dan kegelisahan hatinya terjawab dalam Kitab Suci. Oleh karena itu Martin Luther mengajarkan: “manusia diselamatkan hanya oleh rahmat Allah yang diterima melalui iman”.
Pengalaman Hidup Mistik Santa Teresa Dari Avila Serta Relevansinya Bagi Penghayatan Hidup Imamat Zaman Ini
Authors: Lolowang Ray Legio Angelo
Published: November 2023

Abstrak Pengenalan akan Allah Bapa dan Putera-Nya melalui Roh Kudus dipahami dalam teologi Katolik sebagai hidup mistik. Kehidupan mistik dalam scope ajaran Gereja Katolik itu nyata dalam kesucian hidup para kudus. Salah satunya ialah Santa Teresa dari Avila. Pengalaman hidup Sta. Teresa dari Avila telah banyak memberi sumbangan berarti bagi perkembangan hidup spiritual banyak orang terlebih bagi seorang imam Kristus. Seorang imam sebagai promotor kehidupan spiritual sejatinya berkaca dari pengalaman Sta. Teresa dari Avila ini. Secara eksplisit gambaran tentang hidup saleh, suci dan yang berkenan kepada Allah seperti yang Sta. Teresa dari Avila hidupi itu ditunjukkan dalam berbagai ajaran Gereja. Telaah tentang Teologi Mistik dari sudut pandang Gereja Katolik dalam artikel ini didasarkan pada pengalaman pribadi orang kudus Gereja, Santa Teresa dari Avila bersama dengan Allah dalam hidup doa. Semakin Ia mengenal-Nya dalam kehidupan doa yang mendalam, semakin ia mengalami persatuan cinta mesra dengan Allah. Hidup dan Karyanya menjadi acuan hidup bagi imam di zaman sekarang dalam hidup spiritual dan usaha membangung keakraban yang mesra dengan Allah. Hidup doa dan relasi dengan Allah akan membawa pada keakraban dengan sesama sebagai wujud kesatuan tubuh mistik Kristus. AbstractThe knowledge of God the Father and His Son through the Holy Spirit is understood in Catholic theology as mystical life. The mystical life within the scope of the teachings of the Catholic Church is embodied in the sanctity of the life of the saints. One of them is Saint Teresa of Avila. The life experience of S. Teresa of Avila has made many important contributions to the spiritual development of many people, especially for a priest of Christ. The pastor as a mover of spiritual life actually reflects the experience of S. Teresa from Avila. A clear description of a pious, holy and pleasant life as stated by S. Teresa Avila's life is featured in various Church teachings. The study of mystical theology from the point of view of the Catholic Church in this article is based on the personal experience of the saint of the Church, S. Teresa of Avila with God in the life of prayer. The more she knows Him in a life of deep prayer, the more she experiences a passionate union of love with God. His life and work become a reference for priest this era in their spiritual life and efforts to build intimacy with God. A life of prayer and relationship with God will lead to intimacy with others as a manifestation of the unity of the mystical body of Christ.
Urgensi Dialog Dalam Menjembatani Hidup Beragama di Indonesia (Telaah Filosofis menurut Armada Riyanto)
Authors: Bandung Sonideritus -
Published: November 2023

Tulisan ini meletakkan fokus pada dimensi dialogalitas, persahabatan dan pluralisme agama di Indonesia. Dialogalitas menjadi jembatan yang baik untuk menyeberangi manusia menuju kesadaran baru akan pentingnya membangun persaudaraan yang sejati antara satu dengan yang lain. Cetusan dari persahabatan itu akan dibuktikan dalam situasi, relasi, dan cara hidup manusia sehari-hari. Daya pikat persahabatan kiranya juga diidentikkan sebagai obat penenang bagi segala perbedaan yang melekat dalam diri manusia, baik dari segi  budaya, agama, ras, dan sebagainya. Negara Indonesia yang memiliki latar belakang yang berbeda-beda, mesti memerankan persahabatan yang baik untuk merangkul segenap perbedaan yang ada dan tak terkecuali mengenai agama. Metode yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah metode kepustakaan dengan dielaborasi dari berbagai macam buku sumber. Terutama berkaitan dengan tema persahabatan dan pluralisme agama. Diinterpretasi secara spesifik dari buku “Relasionalitas.” Studi ini menemukan bahwa persahabatan adalah hal yang mutlak untuk terus digemakan di tengah arus perbedaan yang semakin kental. Disaat ada agama yang masih primitif, tidak mau berdialog atau membuka diri terhadap agama-agama lain, justru saat itulah kesempatan yang paling baik untuk menengok, berintrospeksi diri mengenai kepercayaan yang sedang dianut.
La correspondance d’Adolf Michaelis. Relations et échanges au sein de la communauté archéologique franco-allemande au tournant du XXe siècle
Authors: PEYRARD Alix
Published: November 2023

Résumé

Au lendemain de la guerre franco-prussienne, alors que les tensions entre les anciens pays ennemis sont encore vives, Adolf Michaelis, figure majeure de l’archéologie allemande, défend la reprise des collaborations franco-germaniques. En 1872, il devient titulaire de la chaire d’archéologie classique de Strasbourg. Suivant les principes de l’Altertumswissenschaft, il fonde une gypsothèque qui s’élève rapidement au rang de modèle pour les universités françaises et justifie des échanges réguliers entre le savant allemand et ses homologues français. Dans un contexte de professionnalisation de l’archéologie, analyser les relations entre Adolf Michaelis et son réseau de correspondants français permet ainsi d’établir le rôle que ce dernier a tenu dans la constitution d’une communauté archéologique transnationale et, plus largement, de remettre en lumière les échanges scientifiques qui marquèrent le tournant du siècle et contribuèrent aux avancées de l’archéologie européenne.

Abstract

Title: The correspondence of Adolf Michaelis. Relationship and exchange within the Franco-German archaeological community at the turn of the 20th century

In the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War, even though tensions between the former enemy countries were still high, Adolf Michaelis, a major figure in German archaeology, advocated for the resuming of Franco-Germanic collaborations. In 1872, he became holder of the classical archaeology chair in Strasbourg. Following the principles of the Altertumswissenschaft, he founded a cast museum which rapidly became a model for French Universities and justified regular exchanges between the German scholar and his French counterparts. In a context marked by the professionalization of archaeology, analysing the relations between Adolf Michaelis and his network of French correspondents enables us to establish the role that the latter played in the constitution of a transnational archaeological community and to highlight, more broadly, the scientific exchanges that marked the turn of the century and contributed to the progress of European archaeology.
Alimentação e desempenho escolar: uma análise sobre os impactos do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar – PNAE
Authors:   , Deus Caroline da Costa Nascimento de
Published: November 2023

A insegurança alimentar é um fator importante na influência sobre o desempenho escolar. A literatura tem aproveitado os programas de alimentação escolar como objeto de estudo. Nessa seara, este estudo avaliou o efeito do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) sobre o desempenho escolar, medido pelas proficiências dos alunos do 5º e 9º anos no exame do SAEB. A influência do PNAE foi analisada a partir de dois componentes separadamente: as escolas com nutricionistas; e o percentual de compras de alimentos da agricultura familiar. A fim de conceder evidências robustas, foi adotada uma estratégia de identificação, considerando o viés de seleção do programa. Embasando-se nas suas diretrizes, utilizou-se a abordagem do Local Average Treatment Effects (LATE), uma vez que há endogeneidade e efeitos heterogêneos no programa. Por isso, diversas bases de dados foram reunidas para ambas as análises. Os efeitos do programa foram positivos, mostrando que um aumento de 1 ponto percentual (p.p.) no valor destinado à aquisição de produtos da agricultura familiar eleva em 1,15 e 1,4 pontos nas proficiências de português e matemática, respectivamente. Já para o 9º ano, o aumento é de 0,9 e 1,2 pontos nos referidos testes. Em relação aos nutricionistas, as escolas que contam com sua presença proporcionam um acréscimo, em média, de 9,5 e 18,4 pontos nas notas de português e matemática, para o 5º ano. Com relação ao 9º ano, o aumento é de 28 e 89,09. As evidências encontradas contribuem para mostrar a importância do PNAE, dos alimentos da agricultura familiar no cardápio da escola e do papel do nutricionista sobre o desempenho escolar, já que os dois componentes promovem alimentação escolar saudável, o que contribui para o desenvolvimento cognitivo infantil. No âmbito familiar, fomenta a conscientização sobre a importância da alimentação saudável para o desempenho escolar e econômico e guiar o comportamento alimentar das famílias. No que tange à construção de políticas públicas, o estudo traz a reflexão sobre a aprovação do projeto de Lei 3.292 de 2020, que altera a Lei nº 11.947/09, ao estabelecer percentual mínimo de 40% para compra de leite em forma fluida, o que pode desfavorecer a diversidade alimentar regional e os mecanismos construídos em prol de uma alimentação saudável.

The effects of human capital and private investment in technology on economic structure
Authors:   , Leite Deyvid William
Published: November 2023

It is well known that economic structure is linked to human capital, private investment in technology and income growth. Even though disentangling how this relationship happens is crucial for policy screening, this still needs a better understanding. We shed light on this debate by analyzing economic structure in two investigations. The ﬁrst investigation is on the effect of human capital on economic structure. I exploit a signiﬁcant expansion in the Brazilian federal network of technological and professional education since 2002 as an instrument for human capital. Data are on human capital for Brazilian micro-regions from 2003 to 2015. Results indicated that higher levels of economic structure are associated with a larger stock of human capital. The second investigation studies the effect of private investment in technology on economic struc- ture. A federal law fostering private investment in research and development is used as an instrument for investment in technology. Data are on investment in technology for Brazilian municipalities from 2002 to 2016. Results showed the federal law was effective and private investment in technology has a positive and signiﬁcant effect on economic structure. We concluded human capital and investment in technology should be promoted due to their effect on economic structure. Keywords: Economic structure. Human capital. Technological education. Investment in technology. Economic complexity.

L’apparition de l’édition musicale à Lyon est un parfait exemple de l’utilité des sources archivistiques en complément des travaux bibliographiques classiques. En effet, si seulement trois éditions ont été retrouvées avant l’année 1532 (date des premières éditions musicales datées de l’imprimeur Jacques Moderne), la comparaison avec les mentions trouvées dans les inventaires de libraires ou de collections, essentiellement espagnols, révèle qu’une bonne quinzaine d’éditions ont été publiées entre 1525 et 1530, avec au moins trois procédés techniques : le procédé d’Antico en gravure, le procédé d’Attaingnant en typographie ou le procédé hybride du Contrapunctus (gravure en double impression). Il y a donc eu à Lyon, à cette époque, des essais et des hésitations multiples quant au choix du procédé et, pour les musicologues de notre temps, une perte sensible d’une part du répertoire musical de cette époque.

Introduction: Chronic anal fissure (CAF) is a common anorectal condition with treatment modalities being introduced to avoid the complications of surgical intervention.

Aims & Objectives: To compare LIS versus combination of botulinum toxin injection and topical diltiazem in terms of frequency of healing in patients with chronic anal fissure. The outcome was measured frequency of healing of CAF within four weeks after treatment. Study design was randomized controlled trial (RCT)

Place and duration of study: The place was Surgical Department, Chaudhry Mohammad Akram Lahore. And duration of study is 6 months (1st Jan 2022 to 31stJune 2022)

Material & Methods: Total 100 patients were enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups A& B (50 in each group). In Group A patients LIS (open technique) was performed. While in group B, patients were administered, 20 U of botulinum toxin A diluted in 2 ml normal saline was injected via 27 G insulin needle into the internal sphincter around the fissure area. Furthermore, diltiazem paste was applied twice daily up to two weeks. All patients were assessed for healing of the fissure weekly up to four weeks. Data was analyzed using SPSS version-24, P-value<0.05 was taken as significant

Results: Out of 100 patients, 82 (82%) patients showed complete healing within four weeks of treatment. The healing within four weeks was 94% in group A and 70% in group B (p value 0.002).

Conclusion: The frequency of healing of CAF by LIS is significantly higher than the combination of botulinum toxin plus topical diltiazem. The results can be applied after satisfactory confirmation from the larger RCTs.

Introduction: Lung fissures are responsible for uniform expansion. These fissures may be complete, incomplete or absent causing lobar variation. A detailed knowledge of variations of classical and accessory fissures is necessary for proper pulmonary radiological interpretation. Patients benefit from accurate assessment of integrity of pulmonary fissures during cardiothoracic surgery as surgeons can perform segmental lung resections and lobectomies safely to have an uncomplicated perioperative outcome. So, the cadaveric study was done to note the morphological variation of the fissures of lung in Pakistan cadaveric population and compare it with the previous study.

Aims & Objectives: To determine the frequency of variations in fissures and lobes of the lungs on cadaveric Pakistani population.

Place and duration of study:   Anatomy Departments of KEMU and AIMC, Lahore. Duration of study was from 2020 to 2022

Material & Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 cadaveric lung specimens from AIMC and KEMU Anatomy Departments. They were preserved in 10% formalin and were studied for morphological details of their lung lobes and fissures. Data was collected and graded using Craig and Walker classification. Data was analysed using SPSS 22 version. p value ? 0.05 was taken as significant

Results: Out of 160, 77% of the left lung and 75% of the right lungs were normal. Among the variations, horizontal fissure had shown to be more variable as compared to oblique fissure .18% of the right-side specimens were shown to have incomplete horizontal fissures and in 4% of the specimen, they were totally absent. 15% of the left side specimen had incomplete oblique fissures whereas only 2% of the right-side specimen had incomplete oblique fissures. Accessory fissures were more common in the left side specimens as compared to the right-side specimens.

Conclusion: Morphological variations do occur in normal population, and they must be kept in mind during radiological and surgical interventions.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: Pleural effusion is the commonest extra-pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis in endemic populations. This is managed in routine, by diagnostic aspiration and treated with anti-TB medicines. A significant number of treated patients remain visiting pulmonology and thoracic surgery departments, for chest pain, abnormal chest x-ray, and shortness of breath due to residual pleural thickening (RPT).
Aims &Objectives: The study was conducted to determine the usefulness of complete thoracentesis under ultrasound guidance over diagnostic aspiration in preventing residual pleural thickening.
Place and duration of study: This case-control study was conducted from 01-07-21 to 30-06-2022 at Pulmonology- OPD of Gulab Devi Teaching Hospital Lahore-Pakistan.
Material & Methods: After approval from IRB and informed consent, 300 consecutive patients with age 14-85 years, diagnosed TB-pleural effusion, willing for intervention and participation in study were included in the study while pediatric patients, non-TB effusions and unwilling for aspiration or participation were excluded. Two groups of 150 each were allocated through odd   and even numbers. Therapeutic aspiration under ultrasound guidance for interventional group and diagnostic aspiration of 50-100 ml for control group was performed. All patients were treated with same standard and followed up according to the principles of DOTS. Pleural thickness was measured utilizing ultrasonography at day 0, 60 and 180. Outcome was compared in both groups. SPSS-24, software was utilized for analysis. p ? 0.05 was taken as significant.
Results: Only 31/150 patients (20.66%) from interventional group displayed residual pleural thickening while148/150 cases (98.66%) with residual pleural thickening were noted in control group. The P-value was 0.00001
Conclusion: Complete thoracentesis under ultrasound guidance is a tremendous tool for precluding residual pleural thickening in tubercular pleural effusions.
