Acute Knee Dislocation with Neurovascular Injury-Salvage or Amputation? A Case Report
Authors: Kurahatti Ajay , S Hariprasad , D Satyarup
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Traumatic knee dislocation is considered an orthopedic emergency. Knee dislocations are relatively infrequent injuries. This injury frequently occurs from high-energy impact trauma. Neurovascular injuries can result in debilitating consequences if the diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Associated complications include degenerative arthritis, permanent neurovascular injury, and amputation. The poorest prognosis is seen in patients with knee dislocation longer than 6-8 hours before reduction. History: The 25-year-old male patient presented with a history of a road traffic accident to the emergency department. The patient presented with swelling, pain, and deformity of the left knee and leg. Examination: On examination, the patient had tense swelling and tenderness of the left knee joint and leg. Visible deformity of the left knee joint is seen. The posterior tibial artery and dorsalispedis artery were not palpable. Active ankle and toe movements were absent. Investigations: Plain radiograph was taken at the emergency department of the left knee and leg. X-rays showed anterior dislocation of the knee joint. Treatment: After valid written informed consent, the dislocated left knee joint was reduced under sedation in the operation theatre and immobilized in the above knee plaster slab. Reduction of the knee joint was done within 4 hours of injury. Then the distal pulses were re-assessed. The posterior tibial and dorsalispedis artery was absent. Hence, MR Angiography of the left lower limb was done. It showed popliteal artery transection. So, the artery was explored and end-to-end vascular anastomosis was done. A knee-spanning external fixator was applied to the left lower limb. Fasciotomy was done for the tense leg compartments. After a week, the fasciotomy wounds were infected for which extensive debridement of the wounds was done and antibiotic beads were placed. Knee was mobilized with a gradual range of motion exercises and non-weight bearing mobilization with a foot drop splint. Gradually full weight-bearing ambulation was allowed. Conclusion: Knee dislocation is rare, albeit a serious and potentially limb-threatening condition. The prognosis of knee dislocations is variable and is heavily dependent on the time interval between trauma and initiation of management. Immediate, timely, and proper management can salvage the limb, and amputation is not the only solution. Keywords: Dislocation, Posterior tibial artery, Fasciotomy

Published: April 2023

A 10-week feeding trial was carried out to evaluate strain-specific effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on blood profiles of African catfish Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. A catfish diet was formulated and divided into five portions (experimental diets). The first portion served as control (with no probiotic added to it, labeled as NP) while the second portion received 2.5g kg-1 multi-species commercial probiotics (CP). The third, fourth and fifth portions were the experimental diets that contained 2×109cfu/g of L. plantarum strains of ascension numbers LC333558, LC333559 and LC333560, and labeled as LP58, LP59 and LP60, respectively. Fifteen apparently healthy C gariepinus fingerlings (4.86±0.59g) were stocked in an experimental tank of 70 litres capacity, while the experimental feed was fed to the fish in triplicate tanks. Similar rearing conditions were maintained in all experimental tanks. The results showed significant (p0.05) difference between the fish fed control diet and probiotics supplementation diets in some of the haematological parameters examined. Probiotics supplementations did not affect total and differential leukocytes among different experimental groups. Except for RBC counts, fish groups fed with strains LB59 and LB60 had similar effects and appeared to have better haematological values than groups fed with LB58. Strains-specific effect of L. planatrum was also observed in creatinine levels among the experimental groups. Hence, it can be concluded that strains of L. plantarum affected some haematological parameters of C. gariepinus fingerlings positively, while dietary supplementation of L. plantarum LC333559 strain could be employed to improve haematological parameters of C. gariepinus fingerlings.

High exploration activity is feared to have an impact to mackerel populations. A sustainable management approach should be taken to provide information about the status of mackerel populations. Study of mackerel population status can be carried out through genetic information. The DNA of the fish samples were collected at traditional fish markets (Morotai, Bacan and Ternate). Laboratory works such as extraction, amplification, electrophoresis and DNA sequencing were analysis at the Indonesian Biodiversity Laboratory (Bionesia). The molecular characteristics of Rastrelliger kanagurta were 374 base pairs (bp). The composition of nucleotides showed the similarity of frequencies between species. Phylogenetic relationship of R. kanagurta in North Maluku Sea suggested that there was any differentiation. The genetic diversity of R. kanagurta was high with a total number of haplotypes and diverse nucleotide diversity. The minimum spawning networks (MSN) found 5 haplotype networks from a total of 12 samples. Morphological measurements of standard length, head height, body width, pectoral fin length and tail were found to have variable values. The length of the weight of the fish is obtained of b = 3, indicating that the growth pattern was isometric or weight gain was equivalent to the growth of the fish length.Keywords: Biodiversity, conservation, ecology, morphology, species
Determination of the coefficient of thermal expansion of ultra-low-expansion glass using an ultrasonic immersion testing method
Authors: Wei Wenqing , Qi Xue , Deng Hu , Shang Liping , Zhang Yuanyuan , Liu Hong
Published: April 2023

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of ultra-low-expansion (ULE)
glass is critical to the development of precision optical systems.
Herein, an ultrasonic immersion pulse-reflection method is proposed to
characterize the CTE of ULE glass. The ultrasonic longitudinal wave
velocity of ULE-glass samples with significantly different CTE values
was measured using a correlation algorithm combined with
moving-average filtering, which can achieve 0.2 m/s precision
with a contribution to the ultrasonic CTE measurement uncertainty of
0.47 ppb/°C. Furthermore, the established ultrasonic CTE
measurement model predicted the 5°C–35°C mean CTE with a
root-mean-square error of 0.9 ppb/°C. Notably, a complete
uncertainty analysis methodology was established in this paper, which
can provide directional guidance for the subsequent development of
higher-performance measurement devices and the improvement of relevant
signal processing procedures.
LaserNet: a method of laser stripe center extraction under non-ideal conditions
Authors: Shang Jiawei , Chen Yuzhou , Nie Jianhui
Published: April 2023

The extraction of the center of a laser stripe is a key step in line-structure measurement, where noise interference and changes in the surface color of an object are the main factors affecting extraction accuracy. To obtain sub-pixel level center coordinates under such non-ideal conditions, we propose LaserNet, a novel deep learning-based algorithm, to the best of our knowledge, which consists of a laser region detection sub-network and a laser position optimization sub-network. The laser region detection sub-network is used to determine potential stripe regions, and the laser position optimization sub-network uses the local image of these regions to obtain the accurate center position of the laser stripe. The experimental results show that LaserNet can eliminate noise interference, handle color changes, and give accurate results under non-ideal conditions. The three-dimensional reconstruction experiments further demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the strategic responses of Chinese firms on digital transformation and led to a call for enhancing competitive advantage via accelerating digital transformation. Besides the physical health issue, the pandemic has triggered an extraordinary social and economic crisis in which service industries have been attacked hard. In this situation, firms are meeting increasing competitive pressure, which urges them to achieve better performance with the help of digital transformation. Based on the technology-organization-environment framework and dynamic capabilities theory, this research proposed two studies with two methods, including a structural equation model and a regression discontinuity design with a fixed-effect model. The findings suggest digital transformation mediates the relationship between competitive pressure and firm performance among Chinese small- and medium-sized enterprises and large firms after the outbreak of COVID-19, respectively. It confirms that digital transformation is a practical strategic decision for Chinese service firms to respond to increasing competitive pressure in the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides, the results also illustrate the moderating effects of absorptive, innovative, and adaptive capability on the relationship between digital transformation and firm performance among large firms.

Published: April 2023

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with over 40,000 deaths annually in the United States alone. Clinicians often rely on the breast cancer recurrence score, Oncotype DX (ODX), for risk stratification of breast cancer patients, by using ODX as a guide for personalized therapy. However, ODX and similar gene assays are expensive, time-consuming, and tissue destructive. Therefore, developing an AI-based ODX prediction model that identifies patients who will benefit from chemotherapy in the same way that ODX does would give a low-cost alternative to the genomic test. To overcome this problem, we developed a deep learning framework, Breast Cancer Recurrence Network (BCR-Net), which automatically predicts ODX recurrence risk from histopathology slides. Our proposed framework has two steps. First, it intelligently samples discriminative features from whole-slide histopathology images of breast cancer patients. Then, it automatically weights all features through a multiple instance learning model to predict the recurrence score at the slide level. On a dataset of H&E and Ki67 breast cancer resection whole slides images (WSIs) from 99 anonymized patients, the proposed framework achieved an overall AUC of 0.775 (68.9% and 71.1% accuracies for low and high risk) on H&E WSIs and overall AUC of 0.811 (80.8% and 79.2% accuracies for low and high risk) on Ki67 WSIs of breast cancer patients. Our findings provide strong evidence for automatically risk-stratify patients with a high degree of confidence. Our experiments reveal that the BCR-Net outperforms the state-of-the-art WSI classification models. Moreover, BCR-Net is highly efficient with low computational needs, making it practical to deploy in limited computational settings.
A Comparative Analysis of Glaucoma Feature Extraction and Classification Techniques in Fundus Images
Authors:   UFC, de Assis Débora , Cortez Paulo Cesar ,   UFC
Published: April 2023

Glaucoma is a chronic asymptomatic eye disease that, if not treated in the initial stages, can induce blindness. However, early detection and proper treatment can prevent vision loss. Therefore, this work aims to evaluate the identification of glaucoma by non-invasive methods in fundus images. Initially, we have extracted the characteristics of images from the REFUGE and ACRIMA databases through the descriptors: Local Binary Patterns (LBP), Oriented Gradient Histogram (HOG), Zernike moments, and statistical information after the application of the Gabor filter. Then, we are given these characteristics to Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) classifiers. The ranking is performed by each classifier individually and using a voting classifier. Additionally, we apply the cut-off threshold to define the predicted output due to the unbalance of the classes. To compare the results, we applied nonparametric tests. The voting classifier results reach an average rate for balanced accuracy equal to 93.29 \%, precision 88.74 \%, recall 92.04 \%, specificity 94.54 \%, and F2 score 91.33 \%. Therefore, using the cut-off threshold is essential for improving the recall results and reducing false negatives.

The receptors evaluated the risk assessment are 9 and composed of people, industry, public facilities, educational and research facilities, medical and welfare facilities, amenity facilities, agriculture, livestock industry, and roads. All indicators are composed of 107,555 grid-based data having the codes of the region in the country. With Jenks natural breaks classification, the disaster risk assessment criteria for each receptors were presented per the disaster risk grade (Level 1 ~ Level 4). All of the criteria were evaluated with the grid-base data per the receptors and the evaluated results were presented by the maps of Korea. Through this study, the disaster risk assessment criteria can be used as the reference and forecasting for the natural disaster in Korea.
Regionalization of the Elements of National Input-Output Tables: Comparative Testing of Approaches (On the Example of the Khabarovsk Territory)
Authors:   Economic Research Institute FEB RAS, Belousova Anna , Isaev Artem ,   Economic Research Institute FEB RAS
Published: April 2023

Using the non-survey regionalization methods of national input-output tables (the method of location quotients of Flegg – Webber and the Kronenberg’s Cross-Hauling Adjusted Regionalization Method), a quantitative analysis of the multipliers of intersectoral interactions in the economy of the Khabarovsk Territory was carried out. In particular, estimates of total cost coefficients in the intersectoral balance model of the region, quantitatively identifying the impact of intersectoral relations in case of changes in demand for final products on gross outputs of types of economic activity in 2014, were obtained. It is revealed that all the values of the multipliers for the region are less than the corresponding values in the whole of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the estimates obtained using the Kronenberg’s method are close to the national ones, while the values of the multipliers calculated using the Flegg – Webber method (for non-specialized activities) are close to the unit value, which means that there are no multiplier effects. Structural differences between the national and regional economies necessitated the refinement of the estimates obtained for the subject of the Russian Federation. In connection with the latter circumstance, the authors performed a hybridization of the Kronenberg’s method, involving the use of actual statistical data on the total (interregional and international) import and export of the Khabarovsk Territory. Expert verification of the final estimates showed their relatively greater realism
Droga Johna Henry’ego Newmana do uznania autorytetu papieża
Authors: Lisowska Natasza
Published: April 2023

Newman’s way to conversion was made possible by his overcoming of his youthful convictions adopted from Protestant theologians (Luther, Cranmer, Bale, Fox, Sandys, Warburton, Isaac, and Thomas Newton), that the office of the pope was related to the case of the Antichrist. Their accusation is summed up in the statement that the pope, by enacting and enforcing ecclesiastical laws, has obscured the true primary meaning of God’s commandments and has thus established himself in the place of God, making himself the master of Catholic consciences. Newman’s idea of the Antichrist evolved from associating him with the place and the office of the pope to recognizing only his hallmarks as significant: open infidelity, ungodlieness, arrogance, worldly spirit, and false liberalism. At the same time, he took a futuristic position, not excluding the view that the “secret of godlessness” is already at work, and the Antichrist has his precursors, types, images and shadows. He overcame the mental flaw that identified the pope with the Antichrist through in-depth studies of the history of the Church, a change withwhich was signaled in A Letter to the Rev. Godfrey Faussett (1838), matured in an apology of the papacy in The Protestant Idea of Antichrist (1840) and led to the recognition of the pope as the true Vicar of Christ and Sacramentum Unitatis and the revocation of anti-Roman views in 1843, and again in 1845. Newman understood that the primacy of the pope is part of an evolving Catholic doctrine, and the pope has become the goal of prosecution because of his close resemblance to Christ, whom Satan is trying to imitate.
The first diagnostic excellence conference in Japan
Authors: Shimizu Taro , Harada Yukinori
Published: April 2023

In February 2023, the first national conference on Diagnostic Excellence was held in Japan. As the conference covered a wide range of academic areas, we placed particular emphasis on topics related to excellence in physicians’ clinical reasoning. This focus reflected the culture of Japanese medical professionals, especially of physicians, who have shown passion for clinical diagnosis for decades, having held non-profit voluntary multi-institutional conferences during off-duty hours. Of the over 1,400 participants who attended the two-day conference, 80% were generalist physicians and residents, 10% were medical students, and the remainder were healthcare professionals and participants from other academic areas. Given the background of Japanese physicians’ passion for clinical diagnosis, the conference organizers believed that focusing on the diagnostic thinking of physicians as part of the Diagnostic Excellence concept would have strong appeal to participants. Simultaneously, the organizers believed that it was important to target participants in their 20s–40s, and made efforts to utilize social networking services and advertising strategies, including creating individual posters with the help of professional designers. On reflection after the conference, consideration of the local characteristics of the population, particularly their interest in the target population, and the expansion of the conference’s focus to include younger participants may have served as drivers of the success of the conference. This outcome of the conference in Asia is an intriguing step in the world deployment strategy of Diagnostic Excellence, and is expected to promote cooperation among Asia and the United States, Europe, and Oceania.

Role of La-based perovskite catalysts in environmental pollution remediation
Authors: Jain Anusha , Tamhankar Sarang , Jaiswal Yash
Published: April 2023

Since the advent of the industrial revolution, there has been a constant need of efficient catalysts for abatement of industrial toxic pollutants. This phenomenon necessitated the development of eco-friendly, stable, and economically feasible catalytic materials like lanthanum-based perovskite-type oxides (PTOs) having well-defined crystal structure, excellent thermal, and structural stability, exceptional ionic conductivity, redox behavior, and high tunability. In this review, applicability of La-based PTOs in remediation of pollutants, including CO, NO
x
and VOCs was addressed. A framework for rationalizing reaction mechanism, substitution effect, preparation methods, support, and catalyst shape has been discussed. Furthermore, reactant conversion efficiencies of best PTOs have been compared with noble-metal catalysts for each application. The catalytic properties of the perovskites including electronic and structural properties have been extensively presented. We highlight that a robust understanding of electronic structure of PTOs will help develop perovskite catalysts for other environmental applications involving oxidation or redox reactions.
The CEP170B‐KIF2A complex destabilizes microtubule minus ends to generate polarized microtubule network
Authors: Guan Cuirong , Hua Shasha , Jiang Kai
Published: April 2023

Microtubule (MT) minus ends are stabilized by CAMSAP family proteins at noncentrosomal MT‐organizing centers. Despite progress in identifying diverse positive regulators, knowledge on the negative regulation of the MT minus‐end distribution is lacking. Here, we identify CEP170B as a MT minus‐end‐binding protein that colocalizes with the microtubule‐stabilizing complex at the cortical patches. CEP170B depends on the scaffold protein liprin‐α1 for its cortical targeting and requires liprin‐α1‐bound PP2A phosphatase for its MT localization. CEP170B excludes CAMSAPs‐stabilized MT minus ends from the cell periphery in HeLa cells and the basal cortex in human epithelial cells and is required for directional vesicle trafficking and cyst formation in 3D culture. Reconstitution experiments demonstrate that CEP170B autonomously tracks growing MT minus ends and blocks minus‐end growth. Furthermore, CEP170B in a complex with the kinesin KIF2A acts as a potent MT minus‐end depolymerase capable of antagonizing the stabilizing effect of CAMSAPs. Our study uncovers an antagonistic mechanism for controlling the spatial distribution of MT minus ends, which contributes to the establishment of polarized MT network and cell polarity.

Topoisomerase 3α (TOP3A) is an enzyme that removes torsional strain and interlinks between DNA molecules. TOP3A localises to both the nucleus and mitochondria, with the two isoforms playing specialised roles in DNA recombination and replication respectively. Pathogenic variants in TOP3A can cause a disorder similar to Bloom syndrome, which results from bi‐allelic pathogenic variants in BLM, encoding a nuclear‐binding partner of TOP3A. In this work, we describe 11 individuals from 9 families with an adult‐onset mitochondrial disease resulting from bi‐allelic TOP3A gene variants. The majority of patients have a consistent clinical phenotype characterised by bilateral ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, myopathy and axonal sensory‐motor neuropathy. We present a comprehensive characterisation of the effect of TOP3A variants, from individuals with mitochondrial disease and Bloom‐like syndrome, upon mtDNA maintenance and different aspects of enzyme function. Based on these results, we suggest a model whereby the overall severity of the TOP3A catalytic defect determines the clinical outcome, with milder variants causing adult‐onset mitochondrial disease and more severe variants causing a Bloom‐like syndrome with mitochondrial dysfunction in childhood.

Narratives of Public Diplomacy in the post-Truth Era: The decline of Soft Power
Authors: Saliu Hasan
Published: April 2023

This article aims to build a better understanding of today’s communicative changes of public diplomacy in the post-truth era. Today, our communication environment has changed compared to decades ago: about 5 billion people communicate online and compete among themselves through their social media narratives, which are the main platform for the distribution of fake news in the post-truth era. The question posed here is: what are the winning narratives in the complex global environment of public diplomacy? Through problematizing review, this article analyses the sources of soft power which were described at the end of the Cold War, and which remain effective even in today’s communication environment. Also, the purpose and influence of public diplomacy has been problematized, analysing how to influence foreign government by influencing its citizens. The paper concludes that the values of soft power described three decades ago only have limited and specific effects on non-European publics, but not on European ones. Additionally, it is impossible to influence European governments by influencing their publics through public diplomacy because the context has changed and the values of soft power in these countries no longer have the former distinctive gap between them.

Published: April 2023

This paper explores editorials and opinion columns published in four Chilean mainstream newspapers and analyzes how China is represented within the context of Chinese economic advances in the region and the contextual narratives surrounding bilateral relations. Through a content analysis of editorials and opinion pieces of elite media between 2018 and 2021, this study allows an understanding of how China and its growing influence are perceived locally. Ultimately, despite an overall alignment with China’s public diplomacy centered around an economic-commercial dimension, there are still nuances in how China is represented in Chilean op-eds.

Published: April 2023

The present age is called the age of communication. Undoubtedly, in all matters of the world, the most incredible information is on the shoulders of the mass media. Today, the media have influenced the identity of contemporary man by expanding geographical, cultural and political boundaries so that the identity of modern man can be called media identity. The increasing role of new means of mass communication in various parts of human life has led to multiple fields. One area that social media have influenced in the present age is political participation. The present paper sought to test the effect of social media on the Iranian citizens’ willingness to electoral participation political actions using the World Values Survey (WVS) wave 7 data release (49 countries/territories). The results show that social media indirectly, through the mediator variable of political trust, reduces the willingness of individuals to participate in elections. Moreover, the results show that social media, both directly and indirectly, increases citizens’ willingness to engage in political protests.
El Concilio de Nicea y los inicios de una nueva relación entre el poder imperial y la jerarquía eclesiástica
Authors: Teja Ramón , Acerbi Silvia
Published: April 2023

Nicea (325) y Calcedonia (451), son los dos concilios más importantes en la historia de la Iglesia por sus definiciones teológicas del dogma trinitario. Sin embargo, es el peor conocido de todos los ecuménicos porque no se han conservado, si es que existieron, las Actas oficiales, y la fuente histórica más importante, la Vita Constantini de Eusebio de Cesarea es muy poco objetiva por la ideología del autor y su protagonismo en el propio concilio. Todo ello ha condicionado el conocimiento, tanto del desarrollo de la asamblea como del papel desempeñado por los obispos. Este debe ser interpretado, tal como se pretende en el presente artículo, en función de las nuevas relaciones que se establecieron entre Constantino y el episcopado cristiano antes del propio sínodo desde la entrada del emperador en Roma en el 311 y el protagonismo que se adjudicó a los obispos en la administración del Imperio.
Concilio di Nicea: la fine della controversia sulla data della Pasqua?
Authors: Di-Berardino Angelo
Published: April 2023

Il giorno della celebrazione della Pasqua, a partire dal secondo secolo, era stato un argomento molto dibattuto tra le chiese. Nel corso del terzo secolo sorgono sistemi computistici per determinare per il futuro il giorno di celebrazione e distaccarsi dalla varietà dei calcoli ebraici. L’imperatore Costantino, profondamente desideroso di una sola chiesa unanime, anche per ragioni politiche, è convinto che il corretto culto favorisce anche l’Impero. Convoca il concilio di Nicea (325) per risolvere la disputa tra Alessandro di Alessandria e Ario, ma anche sulla celebrazione della Pasqua in una unica data tra tutti i cristiani. Costantino trasforma una questione interna alle chiese in un problema di politica religiosa e sociale di primaria importanza. Nel corso del quarto e quinto secolo lentamente si stabilisce una convergenza su una data unica: la domenica successiva alla luna piena dopo l’equinozio di primavera. Tuttavia, restano difficoltà dipendenti dal sistema di computo e dal giorno di equinozio.

Analysis of the Functioning of the Automatic Exchange of Information about Financial Accounts after Implementation of the Common Reporting Standard
Authors: Matras Tomasz
Published: April 2023

The adoption of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) by the OECD in 2014 raised many concerns. Banks were particularly obliged to implement many changes in order to properly collect and aggregate data on tax residence of their clients and correctly report them to the tax administration authorities. The aim of this article was to assess the functioning of the CRS, taking into account the benefits of implemented changes and critical voices regarding the functioning of the standard. The efficiency of the solution based on OECD data and a critical analysis of some aspects of the CRS were presented. The adopted research method was based on verification of official OECD documents and comparative analysis of data presented by the organization with the research conducted by scientific institutions and other private and public entities. According to the results of the research, the automatic exchange of financial information is not functioning optimally, and reforms need to be carried out. The additional revenues generated by the CRS are relatively low compared to the tax losses still generated by tax optimization.
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF TWO IMMISCIBLE FLUIDS IN POROUS MEDIA BY THE MULTISCALE AND HOMOGENIZATION METHODS
Authors: Mahrous Elaf , Hoda Asif , Alsheikh Dina
Published: April 2023

This paper proposes a numerical model for simulating an immiscible compressible two-phase flow in a periodic heterogeneous porous media with application to a coal-bed methane extraction system. Methane flow in a coal sample
submerged in water is simulated using the multiscale homogenization method and the averaged macroscopic approach.
A weak formulation is used to discretize the governing equations coupled with the boundary conditions using the finite
element method and solved using the open-source code Freefem++. It was observed that the general behavior of both methods was in good agreement with actual gas saturation evolution. However, the multiscale approach provided more
information regarding the global pressure evolution behavior of the mitigating gas.
Etude d’un cas de trouble de conversion en opération extérieure
Authors: BOURGUÈS R. , COUDRAY O.
Published: April 2023

Le trouble de conversion est une voie d’expression de la souffrance psychique par le corps qui n’est pas rare en milieu militaire. Ce travail a pour but de partager l’expérience de la prise en charge diagnostique et thérapeutique, par un médecin des forces, d’une urgence psychiatrique originale. Cette situation est survenue en mer sur un bâtiment de la Marine nationale. Le patient a présenté de façon brutale au milieu de la nuit une paralysie de la jambe droite. Le trouble s’est dévoilé de façon spectaculaire, entraînant l’arrêt de toute activité de quart. L’histoire de la maladie, les conflits au coeur desquels il se situait, la présentation clinique et la normalité des examens complémentaires, nous ont conduits à envisager un trouble de conversion. Après l’évacuation médicale stratégique, une pathologie neurologique a été écartée et le trouble suspecté retenu. Une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire a permis l’amendement des symptômes en trois mois. L’enjeu thérapeutique est de prendre en considération la plainte somatique, tout en amenant le sujet à s’en distancier pour retracer la symbolique du symptôme. Le trouble de conversion est une énigme à résoudre pour le patient comme pour le médecin des forces.

Des manifestations de souffrance psychique peuvent survenir chez certains militaires en mission en dehors du territoire métropolitain et nécessiter parfois une évacuation médicale stratégique. À partir d’une étude observationnelle a été analysée la population des militaires ayant bénéficié d’un rapatriement sanitaire vers l’hôpital d’instruction des armées Percy au cours des années 2016 et 2017, soit 132 sujets. La plupart étaient des hommes (89,4 %) jeunes (61,4 % de moins de 29 ans) appartenant à l’armée de Terre (79,6 %). Le trouble de l’adaptation est le diagnostic le plus fréquemment porté (35,6 % des sujets). Dans 24,2 % des situations étudiées, un trouble de stress aigu ou un trouble de stress post-traumatique sont observés. La proportion des troubles psychiques en relation avec un événement traumatisant tend à augmenter par rapport aux données d’études similaires menées antérieurement, ce qui peut être probablement expliqué par une intensification du contexte opérationnel. Notre travail met en évidence l’importance d’un dispositif de soutien médico-psychologique précoce et continu pour prendre en charge le personnel en mission et la nécessité d’une évaluation de sa santé mentale avant le départ en opération.
Le soutien médico-psychologique du militaire et de sa famille

Published: April 2023

L’approche systémique invite à changer de regard sur les relations humaines, en s’intéressant à la circulation de l’information dans leurs interactions. La systémie peut être appliquée de manière thérapeutique à nos militaires qui sont en interaction permanente avec leur environnement constitué de systèmes changeants. Du groupe de combat à la famille, la position relationnelle du militaire nécessite qu’il se réajuste en permanence à son environnement. L’étude de son attachement à ces différents systèmes permet d’envisager une approche thérapeutique du soutien du militaire et de sa famille. Le travail thérapeutique a ici pour fonction de mettre en lien et en mémoire les histoires individuelles pour en faire un récit collectif. L’ordonnancement des histoires imbriquées et du vécu de chacun permet d’offrir une distanciation des évènements subis, et constitue une première étape thérapeutique de la prise en charge d’un groupe de combattants ou d’une famille d’un militaire déstabilisée par un événement grave, potentiellement traumatique. Les soignants agissent ainsi auprès des groupes et des familles comme une « base de sécurité » provisoire, souhaitable dans l’accompagnement des déséquilibres individuels et collectifs inhérents aux contraintes de la vie militaire.
Gelatinous peritoneal disease secondary to appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma: a case study and review of the literature

Published: April 2023

Pseudomyxoma peritonei also referred to as gelatinous ascites, is a rare disorder, described for the first time by R. Wyerth in 1884. It is characterized by the presence of mucous disseminated throughout the peritoneal cavity generally arising from the rupture of an appendicular mucocele. Pseudomyxoma peritonei can be asymptomatic, discovered during a laparotomy. The most common symptom is abdominal distension associated with diffuse abdominal pain. An abdominal CT scan is the most specific diagnostic tool. It shows pathognomonic signs of gelatinous ascites. Mucinous neoplasms of the appendix are the most frequent cause of pseudomyxoma peritonei accounting for 90% of cases. Pseudomyxoma peritonei needs to be considered as a borderline malignant disease because of its inevitable persistence and progression without an adapted therapeutic approach: cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy in specialized centers. The principal prognostic factors are the prior surgical history, the completeness of cytoreduction and especially the histopathologic grade. We report the case of pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma.
Ucrania: La guerra que se pudo evitar y que pudiera arrastrar a Europa a una confrontación mundial
Authors: Pontijas Calderón José Luis
Published: April 2023

La invasión de Ucrania, por parte de Rusia, que comenzó el 22 de febrero de 2022, ha supuesto un cambio absoluto en el escenario de seguridad europeo y occidental. Pero el conflicto no surgió de la nada. Una serie de acciones, por parte de unos y otros, nos han conducido a la situación actual, para la que se vislumbra una salida incierta y potencialmente amenazadora. Estados Unidos se configura como el gran vencedor, mientras la Unión Europea sufre las consecuencias (económicas, energéticas, sociales, etc.) de la estrategia impuesta desde Washington, lo que podría arrastrarle a una confrontación mundial, cuando debería diseñar una estrategia que defiendo sus intereses, le permita recuperar su deseada autonomía estratégica.
Relaciones estratégicas entre la Unión Europea y la OTAN: en el camino de la defensa en Europa
Authors: Rodríguez Barrigón Juan Manuel
Published: April 2023

En un contexto de transformaciones, la seguridad y la defensa recobran gran importancia en Europa. La voluntad declarada de la Unión Europea de posicionarse como un actor internacional ha requerido la puesta en aplicación de políticas que, aunque soportadas sobre los Tratados, habían sido continuamente postergadas por la ausencia de concordancia en las prioridades nacionales en estos campos. El debilitamiento del vínculo transatlántico, fundamental para comprender la defensa, y la oportunidad de avanzar en una definición estratégica propiamente europea han impulsado una política de defensa aún con importantes carencias. La existencia de un conflicto armado de gran intensidad en el este del Continente ha revitalizado las relaciones entre la Unión Europea y la OTAN, que exige conformar una cohesión más completa entre los miembros a ambos lados del Atlántico. Las consecuencias graves que se deducen de este conflicto animan a que los debates sean reconducidos a la necesidad de fijar posiciones geoestratégicas de gran entidad, lo que enlaza inevitablemente a las organizaciones con funciones en materia de defensa.

Una solidaridad de hecho: La configuración del sistema europeo de marcas
Authors: Gil Celedonio José Antonio
Published: April 2023

La construcción europea, desde la Declaración Schuman de 1950, ha venido produciéndose mediante la construcción de solidaridades de hecho entre los Estados Miembros en muy diferentes materias. Una de las ellas, estrechamente vinculada al establecimiento de un mercado interior, fue la creación de un sistema europeo de marcas, que protege estos títulos de propiedad industrial en todo el territorio de la Unión Europea y convive e informa los sistemas nacionales de marcas. En este artículo se examina su funcionamiento y caracteres, así como el impacto de la jurisprudencia europea en la materia.
Transformaciones socio-económicas y su reflejo en el ordenamiento jurídico mercantil: Del Estado liberal al Estado social
Authors: Vega Vega José Antonio
Published: April 2023

Uno de los rasgos más característicos del ordenamiento jurídico es el de su relatividad histórica. Dentro de las diferentes ramas, el Derecho Mercantil es una disciplina jurídica en permanente proceso de transformación y evolución. Lo que hoy pertenece a su ámbito normativo es posible que no pertenezca mañana y no tiene por qué haberle pertenecido en el pasado. Ello significa que el estudioso del Derecho Mercantil ha de enfrentarse constantemente a la cuestión de qué debe ser en cada momento la disciplina objeto de su estudio. En otras palabras, es una materia progresiva­mente cambiante a lo largo de la historia. Pero el proceso de mayor cambio se produce desde la óptica del paso del Estado liberal al Estado social con la introducción de las constituciones económicas. Al análisis de los cambios operados en este periodo se dedica este trabajo.
