Black Trans Girlhood, Healing, and Transformative Justice in Akwaeke Emezi's PET
Authors: Sansonetti Annie
Published: April 2023

In the fantasy/speculative fiction young adult novel PET (2019), Akwaeke Emezi's fifteen-year-old Black trans girl protagonist, Jam, disrupts the traditional socio-cultural and medico-legal hindrances to Black trans girlhood's “liveness” by actively devising and participating in carefully staged scenes of intracommunal healing and transformative justice. With Jam's knowledge, history, and experience among Black people and community as a guiding light, this article argues that PET serves as a counternarrative to the erasure of Black trans girls in the Black radical tradition and inspires new narratives for Black liberation with the wisdom and experience of Black trans feminine children in mind. What Jam knows—that another way of doing justice is possible, that revolution is not a one-time event, and that care and healing after the event of prison abolition will have to be constantly rehearsed anew—is shared with the young readers of this novel.
The Effect of Venture Capital on the Growth of Startups in Indonesia: A Case Study on BRI Ventures
Authors: Miraza Chairanisa Natasha , Shauki Elvia R
Published: April 2023

The low success rate of startups has caused venture capital firms to bear a large risk of investment failure (BRI Ventures, 2021). Venture capital firms play an important role in identifying potential startups and being the driving force for startup success. This study aims to find out the role of BRI Ventures (BVI) in increasing the success rate of startups in Indonesia, how BRI Ventures (BVI) makes funding decisions, and the criteria set before funding startups. The data analysis uses descriptive qualitative analysis, which includes content, thematic, and constant comparative analysis and is processed using the NVivo 12 Pro software application. This study uses the diffusion of innovation theory to examine the role of BRI Ventures (BVI) in increasing the success rate of startups in Indonesia. The results show that BRI Ventures (BVI) uses the 5Ps approach, a self-designed investment analysis tool to assess whether a startup is feasible to fund. The indicators of 5Ps include people, product, potential market, performance, and potential upsides. The people indicator, which consists of the founder and the team, plays an important role in the success of a startup. The findings of this study suggest that BRI Ventures proactively provide innovations through mentoring programs to increase the success rate of startups. This research is expected to be useful in the financial sector, especially in terms of funding and innovation, for the business sustainability.
On the lack of explicit internal criticism of contemporary personalists. An outline of the problem
Authors: Stachurski Michał
Published: April 2023

Contemporary personalism was born out of a certain anthropological disagree­ment with certain concepts that arose on the basis of naturalism and scientism in the nine­teenth and twentieth centuries. However, as practice shows, personalism has not achieved spectacular “success” in the world of philosophy in the form of neither clear external criticism from opponents (be it from the Frankfurt School or representatives of postmod­ernists), nor internal criticism within the framework of discussions within personalism itself. And yet it is difficult to deny the representatives of this trend a clear contribution to the development of such concepts and terms as: value, person (as a corporeal and spiritual being with social orientation), common good, commitment. The aim of this article is to try to answer the question why criticism within personalism could result in a certain exposure of views “outside” the world of philosophy.

Published: April 2023

Objectives

Salivary cortisol and cortisone at late night and after dexamethasone suppression test (DST) are increasingly used for screening of Cushing’s syndrome (CS). We aimed to establish reference intervals for salivary cortisol and cortisone with three liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) techniques and for salivary cortisol with three immunoassays (IAs), and evaluate their diagnostic accuracy for CS.

Methods

Salivary samples at 08:00 h, 23:00 h and 08:00 h after a 1-mg DST were collected from a reference population (n=155) and patients with CS (n=22). Sample aliquots were analyzed by three LC-MS/MS and three IA methods. After establishing reference intervals, the upper reference limit (URL) for each method was used to calculate sensitivity and specificity for CS. Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by comparing ROC curves.

Results

URLs for salivary cortisol at 23:00 h were similar for the LC-MS/MS methods (3.4–3.9 nmol/L), but varied between IAs: Roche (5.8 nmol/L), Salimetrics (4.3 nmol/L), Cisbio (21.6 nmol/L). Corresponding URLs after DST were 0.7–1.0, and 2.4, 4.0 and 5.4 nmol/L, respectively. Salivary cortisone URLs were 13.5–16.6 nmol/L at 23:00 h and 3.0–3.5 nmol/L at 08:00 h after DST. All methods had ROC AUCs ≥0.96.

Conclusions

We present robust reference intervals for salivary cortisol and cortisone at 08:00 h, 23:00 h and 08:00 h after DST for several clinically used methods. The similarities between LC-MS/MS methods allows for direct comparison of absolute values. Diagnostic accuracy for CS was high for all salivary cortisol and cortisone LC-MS/MS methods and salivary cortisol IAs evaluated.
Doping silver nanoparticles into reverse osmosis membranes for antibacterial properties
Authors: Zou Xiaofang , Zhu Tian , Tang Jiangquan , Gan Weixing , Nong Guangzai
Published: April 2023

Polyamide composite reverse osmosis (RO) membranes occupy an important position in water treatment. However, membrane fouling, especially biofouling, can lead to a significant decrease in membrane permeability. Therefore, reducing biological contamination is a significant and important property of an RO membrane. In this article, a hypothesis on the development of a new kind of RO membrane for antibacterial purposes was prepared by the modification of gallic acid (GA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Then, experiments were carried out to verify the hypothesis, getting a modified RO membrane with the composite of GA@AgNPs. The water flux of the GA@AgNPs RO membrane was 31.1 L·m−2·h−1, which was 46.7% higher than that of the original membrane, while the rejection rate of salt remained at 93.8–97.6%. Moreover, the GA@AgNPs RO membranes exhibited outstanding antibacterial properties with more than 99.9% antibacterial efficiency against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Our work provides a new idea for solving the problem of biofouling RO membranes.
A Note on Friedrich Schlegel’s Reception of the Wissenschaftslehre
Authors: Goh Kienhow
Published: April 2023

This essay investigates what a nuanced and revisionary interpretation of Fichte’s Critical-idealist philosophy could reveal about its impact on the philosophic thought of Friedrich Schlegel. It argues that Schlegel sees the Wissenschaftslehre through the lens of the distinction Fichte famous draws between the “spirit” (Geist) and the “letter” (Buchstaben) of a philosophy. He considers the spirit of the Wissenschaftslehre to lie in its acute awareness of its own limitation as a work of art and its letter in the deductive or demonstrative form it inevitably assumes upon being expounded. In the face of the discrepancy, Schlegel rejects the letter of the Wissenschaftslehre in favor of its spirit.

The Philippines in 2022
Authors: Oh Yoon Ah
Published: April 2023

In 2022, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the son and namesake of the late dictator, won a landslide victory in the presidential election after campaigning largely on nostalgia for the Philippines’ authoritarian past and perceived former greatness. The country was finally able to reopen from COVID-19 lockdowns after enduring a surge in the Omicron variant in the earlier months of the year. Global food and energy inflation, caused by excessive fiscal spending and monetary easing adopted during the pandemic, in addition to the aftershock of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has led to an unprecedented food crisis in the Philippines that has been particularly difficult for the poor. In terms of foreign policy, Marcos Jr.’s arrival marked a return to more conventional diplomatic interactions with Washington at a time of increasing tension between the United States and China.

Objective

This Italian survey aims to evaluate real-life long-term efficacy and safety of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy in children with short stature homeobox-containing gene deficiency disorders (SHOX-D) and to identify potential predictive factors influencing response to rhGH therapy.

Design and methods

This is a national retrospective observational study collecting anamnestic, anthropometric, clinical, instrumental and therapeutic data in children and adolescents with a genetic confirmation of SHOX-D treated on rhGH. Data were collected at the beginning of rhGH therapy (T0), yearly during the first 4 years of rhGH therapy (T1, T2, T3 and T4) and at near-final height (nFH) (T5), when available.

Results

One hundred and seventeen SHOX-D children started rhGH therapy (initial dose 0.23 ± 0.04 mg/kg/week) at a mean age of 8.67 ± 3.33 years (74% prepubertal), 99 completed the first year of treatment and 46 reached nFH. During rhGH therapy, growth velocity (GV), standard deviation score (SDS) and height (H) SDS improved significantly. Mean H SDS gain from T0 was +1.14 ± 0.58 at T4 and +0.80 ± 0.98 at T5. Both patients carrying mutations involving intragenic SHOX region (group A) and ones with regulatory region defects (group B) experienced a similar beneficial therapeutic effect. The multiple regression analysis identified the age at the start of rhGH treatment (β = −0.31, P = 0.030) and the GV during the first year of rhGH treatment (β = 0.45, P = 0.008) as main independent predictor factors of height gain. During rhGH therapy, no adverse event of concern was reported.

Conclusions

Our data confirm the efficacy and safety of rhGH therapy in SHOX-D children, regardless the wide variety of genotype.

Significance Statement

Among children with idiopathic short stature, the prevalence of SHOX-D is near to 1/1000–2000 (1.1–15%) with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Current guidelines support rhGH therapy in SHOX-D children, but long-term data are still few. Our real-life data confirm the efficacy and safety of rhGH therapy in SHOX-D children, regardless of the wide variety of genotypes. Moreover, rhGH therapy seems to blunt the SHOX-D phenotype. The response to rhGH in the first year of treatment and the age when rhGH was started significantly impact the height gain.
Experimental testing of elastic properties of LayWood pyramidal cores
Authors: Maslej Michał , Smardzewski Jerzy
Published: April 2023

Sandwich panels most commonly used in the furniture industry are layered structures composed of a hexagonal cell paper core. The use of wood-based composites in modelling truss and pyramidal cores of layered furniture panels is rather scarce. The effect of geometry in the auxetic truss core on the mechanical properties of manufactured wood-based materials was primarily explored in this study. Moreover, the need to conduct further studies was also stressed to determine the elastic properties of cells and cores manufactured from wood filaments using 3D printing. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the type of filament used in 3D printing and the geometry of pyramidal core cells on elastic constants in cores with identical relative density. This paper presented analytical models of manufactured cells, results of numerical calculations performed using the finite element method, as well as experimental tests determining elastic constants of the cores. Digital image analysis was used and showed that cell geometry had a considerable effect on elastic properties of the core while maintaining identical relative density of these structures. The angle of cell arms had a particularly marked effect on these properties.

Authors: Zhou Hongfang , Zhao Liang , Fu Xin , Zhu Yifeng , Pan Yadi
Published: April 2023

To investigate the influencing mechanisms of calcium and magnesium on the solid products of biomass torrefaction, cellulose was selected as the feedstock in this article. The experiments were conducted in the holding temperature range of 200 °C to 300 °C under the atmosphere of nitrogen. Based on the impregnation methods (chlorides, hydroxides, and acetates of Ca and Mg), the results showed that the solid product yield of torrefacted cellulose impregnated with calcium or magnesium salts was lower than that of raw cellulose torrefaction at 200 °C to 275 °C. However, at 300 °C, the solid product yield of impregnated cellulose torrefaction was higher. During torrefaction, the CaCl2 had a stronger effect than other calcium salts. The Mg(CH3COO)2 had less of an effect than other magnesium salts. The crystallinity of the torrefied cellulose with impregnated calcium or magnesium salts was considerably reduced from 51.1% (raw cellulose) to 7.7% (addition of CaCl2), 34.8% (addition of Ca(OH)2), 28.6% (addition of Ca(CH3COO)2), 9.2% (addition of MgCl2), 13.6% (addition of Mg(OH)2), and 12.0% (addition of Mg(CH3COO)2). The results of the thermal gravimetric analysis showed that the impregnated calcium or magnesium salts dramatically reduced the activation energy of the torrefaction.

Authors: de Lima Douglas Mateus , Lima Júnior Humberto Correia , Medeiros Iálysson da Silva
Published: April 2023

Certain bamboo species have mechanical properties that are compatible with construction material. Despite this, their low shear strength, the presence of nodes in their culms, and their circular geometry inhibit the expansion of the use of this material as construction material. One technique that can solve these problems is glued laminated bamboo (GLB). Based on such findings, this paper aims to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of glued laminated bamboo of the Dendrocalamus giganteus species. Two glues were used: resorcinol-formaldehyde (PRF) and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc). The following physical and mechanical characterization tests were performed on glued laminated bamboo: water absorption, density, compression parallel to fiber direction, tension parallel to fiber direction, shear parallel to the glue layer, shear parallel to fiber direction, and bending. The results, analyzed using statistical models, showed that the GLB has physical and mechanical properties comparable to those of hardwoods.
What Drives and Hinders the Use of New e-Customs Systems in Developing Countries of Sub-Saharan Africa? An Empirical Study from Cameroon
Authors: Chung Hyorim , Cha Kyungjin , Lee Heejin
Published: April 2023

While the adoption and replacement projects of e-government systems are increasing in developing countries, empirical research is rare. Moreover, studies on factors affecting user satisfaction of e-customs systems are limited. To fill the gap, this paper empirically investigates the e-customs system implemented by Korea and currently in operation in Cameroon, examining its facilitators and hindrances. This study marks a new approach to studying e-government systems as an ICT4D project in a developing country by creating and validating a newly developed model based on the UTAUT and the SQBT. An empirical study using a survey was conducted. Data were collected from internal and external users who had experienced both the old system (ASYCUDA++) and the new one (CAMCIS). Performance expectancy and uncertainty costs strongly affect the switching benefits and costs. Sunk costs have no significant impacts. The switching benefits and costs significantly influence the behavioral intention and user satisfaction regarding the system. The study adds value to the research fields of user resistance and IT/IS acceptance by conducting empirical research on e-customs systems implemented by a donor in a recipient country. The study gives insights to those policymakers, system developers and managers involved in ICT4D projects about the factors that are important to maximize the benefits and avoid the losses in using a new system.
Railway mobility: social history and implementation practices
Authors: Nikolaienko Volodymyr , Nikolaienko Leonid , Yakovenko Yuriy
Published: April 2023

The article raises questions of the social history (history of institutionalization) of railways and railway mobility (or mobility of railway passenger's), which are becoming popular in the English-speaking sociology of transport, which is the reason for mainstreaming this topic in Ukraine. The questions raised are considered from the point of view of empires’ history, in particular, Great Britain, where the institutionalization of the internal railway, and later of railways in the colonies, led to the development of not only English, but also world industry, and at the same time contributed to world socio-cultural development, including the development of warfare. Our goal is to provide the reader with a preliminary introduction to a large series of books published under the general title “Studies in Imperialism”, where there are works on the institutionalization of railway transport, in particular the passenger railway, their functions, etc. The series is dominated by the idea that imperialism as a cultural phenomenon had the same significant impact on the dominant society as it did on the dependent one and that the development and operation of railways is a direct consequence of imperial ideology. It was the imperial ideology of the institutionalization of railway transport both in the metropolises themselves and on the colonized territories that gave rise to contradictions of the social order, including massive outrage, as it led to radical institutional and mental changes associated with the traditional space and time orientation of local residents, limited them in the right to voluntary movement, accustomed to movement according to someone’s and somewhere developed schedules and life according to the principle of movement from work to work, etc. Finally, the authors make a conclusion that all this fit into the postulates of the ideology of modernization and rationalization of public life, but was interpreted in terms of the colonization of others living space/time, as it accustomed to the appropriate life regime and not only while travelling by rail.
ESC Congress 2022 Imaging Highlights
Authors: Puntmann Valentina O , Valbuena-López Silvia
Published: April 2023

Cardiac imaging is an ever-evolving area, with imaging parameters and application in constant re-evaluation. This was reflected in many imaging debates and by the increased number of scientific contributions at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in 2022. While clinical trials tried to answer clinical questions related to the performance of different imaging modalities, many high-quality presentations focused on new imaging biomarkers in different scenarios, such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, valvular heart disease or long COVID. This highlights the need for the translation of cardiac imaging technology from research interests towards established measures of clinical practice.

Some Thoughts on Biopesticides
Authors: Matthews Graham
Published: April 2023

Although Rachel Carson warned that the use of chemical pesticides can result in adverse effects on the environment, relatively few insecticides, such as DDT were banned, except where it was used inside houses to control mosquitoes. Many highly hazardous pesticides have continued to be used by farmers, but more attention is now given to use eco-friendly safer products such as biopesticides with the number of scientific research papers being increased by 71.24% between 2011 and 2021. However, the adoption of these biopesticides has been relatively modest as their impact on pests is often slow and the persistence of spray deposits exposed to sunlight can be significantly reduced. Certain biopesticides are not new as pyrethrum was known in Iran as far back as 400BC. With more attention to it early in the 19th Century in Europe where it initially referred to as “Dalmatian powder”, obtained from the flower heads of a plant now called Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, grown in the Balkans. Later it was shown that pyrethrum consisted of two active components Pyrethrin I and Pyrethrin II which could be synergised by mixing with piperonyl butoxide, but it was confined to indoor use as it was not persistent when exposed to sunlight. Much later in studies at Rothamsted a photostable pyrethroid was developed which was persistent when sprayed on crops. Today, biopesticides have been derived not only from extracts from plants, but also by using pathogenic microorganisms to provide bioinsecticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis, biofungicides (e.g. Trichoderma) and bioherbicides (e.g. Phytopthora) indicated biopesticides have benefits.

Authors: Lee Dajung , Kim Dongil ,   The Korean Society of Special Education
Published: April 2023

The purpose of the this study is to explore the special education teachers’ perception of the support elements for transition from school to adulthood of students with developmental disabilities. Accordingly, the concept mapping method, effective in establishing the conceptual framework of a group for a particular topic, is used to confirm the dimensions, clusters, and importance of support elements for the transition form school to adulthood of students with developmental disabilities. In this study, 15 special education teachers participated in interviews to derive ideas for the topic, and finally 61 statements were confirmed. In order to examine the special education teacher’s perception of the statement, similarity classification and importance rating task were performed on 20 special education teachers. As a result of the multi-dimensional scale analysis, two dimensions were found to be appropriate, the first dimension was ‘learner-centered - provided-centered’ and the second dimension was ‘school-closed - society-connected’. In addition, as a result of the cluster analysis, four clusters and seven sub-clusters have been drawn, and each cluster was ‘implementation of the curriculum for the transition considering longitudinal linkage‘, ‘competency reinforcement of school-centered support system’, ‘establishment of social support system’, ‘practical education that strengthens students’ competency’. Lastly, the importance of the statement related to the actual educational support was found to be high. Based on the result, the implication of the support elements necessary for the transition to adulthood of students with developmental disabilities recognized by special teachers and the limitations of this study were discussed.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to thoroughly examine the labor rights-related competency and experiences of young adults with developmental disabilities through the labor rights education program by using a flipped learning-based app. This will assist workers with developmental disabilities in solving problems related to labor rights, as well as defend their own rights within an employment environment. Therefore, the labor rights education program that uses a flipped learning-based app was implemented for 10 young adults with developmental disabilities that attend special schools. As a result, there was a statistically significant difference in the pre-post-score changes in labor rights knowledge, social problem-solving, and self-advocacy, which are the labor rights-related competencies of people with developmental disabilities who participated in the labor rights education program using a flipped learning-based app. In addition, as a result of the group and individual interviews, the participants showed a high level of satisfaction with the overall program and showed a positive response to the use of app content. This study is meaningful in that it provides young adults with developmental disabilities with intervention in their labor rights education programs by using a flipped learning-based app. This study reflects the modern development of technology following both the 4th Industrial Revolution and COVID-19 pandemic.
The Effects of School Gardening Program with Visual Supports on Peer Relationships of Students in an Inclusive Classroom and Social Behaviors of a Student with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Jeong Minwoo , Lee Heeyeon ,   The Korean Society of Special Education
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect a school gardening program can have on peer relations in an inclusive classroom, as well as investigate the effect of visual supports in the gardening program on the social behaviors of a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Participants included 16 6th-graders from a rural area in Gyeonggi-do, one of which was a student with ASD. A single-group pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate the effect of the school gardening program on peer relations of the class. Additionally, a multiple baseline design across behaviors was used to evaluate the effect the visual supports in the school gardening program had on the social behavior of the student with ASD. The results were as follows. First, peer relations improved through the program. Second, visual supports in the program greatly improved the social behaviors of the student with ASD. Third, the improved social behaviors of the student with ASD was generalized in art activities immediately after the withdrawal of the intervention. Fourth, the improved social behaviors of the student with ASD were maintained three weeks after withdrawal of the intervention. This study is meaningful in that it used the school gardening program to improve students’ peer relations in the inclusive classroom, which has been static for nearly six years in both peer relations and class member changes. It is also significant that multiple visual supports for the student with ASD improved social behaviors.

Un siècle d’histoire et de guerres, nous permet de retracer les impasses de la clinique et le cheminement des constructions psychopathologiques, jusqu’à la délimitation de la pathologie psychotraumatique. Affection tour à tour méconnue, ignorée, incomprise, elle s’impose d’elle-même, à la faveur des désordres générés par les conflits armés. Nous suivrons ses tentatives de capture dans le discours médical, depuis les premières hypothèses commotionnelles, pour saisir en quoi la prise en compte de la subjectivité constitue un apport précieux. Par ailleurs, l’incidence sociétale de la question nous invite à considérer tant les efforts entrepris par les praticiens, que les effets directs ou indirects sur le lien social et les représentations. Cette relecture nous donne des indications précieuses pour la pratique clinique et nous éclaire sur la question du repérage et, plus avant, de la reconnaissance des troubles.

La détermination de l’aptitude médicale à servir dans les forces armées est l’une des missions du Service de santé rompu aux différentes situations d’engagement des militaires, du temps de la préparation à celui de la projection sur les théâtres d’opérations. L’expertise médico-psychologique en milieu militaire procède d’une solide connaissance de la pathologie psychiatrique, de la psychopathologie du combattant, des contraintes environnementales – souvent qualifiées d’extrêmes – et des normes réglementaires spécifiques à chaque spécialité. Elle est aujourd’hui de la responsabilité du médecin des forces qui peut s’appuyer sur les spécialistes des services de psychiatrie des hôpitaux d’instruction des armées. Médecin généraliste au contact des unités, il a une double mission de soins et d’évaluation de l’aptitude à l’emploi en tout temps, en tous lieux et en toutes circonstances.

Les psychologues cliniciens des forces armées françaises ont tout d’abord participé à la sélection du personnel militaire, plus particulièrement dans certaines spécialités, grâce à l’entretien clinique et à des outils psychotechniques. Ils ont ensuite été impliqués dans la mission de soin des services de psychiatrie des hôpitaux d’instruction des armées et des services de psychologie appliquée. Plus récemment, ces psychologues sont devenus des acteurs du soutien opérationnel intervenant sur les théâtres d’opérations et lors d’évènements graves. Cet article propose d’historiciser la pratique de la psychologie clinique appliquée au milieu militaire en mettant en perspective ses enjeux contemporains. Cette pratique, centrée sur l’individu et sur le groupe en situation, s’exerce aujourd’hui du temps de la préparation à celui du déploiement opérationnel.

Le règlement sanitaire international, dans sa version révisée (2005), a pour objectif prioritaire de prévenir la propagation internationale des maladies. Il est le seul instrument international juridiquement contraignant en matière de sécurité sanitaire. Il a pris une dimension particulière suite aux crises sanitaires récentes, de portée internationale (ex : Ebola, MERS-CoV). En France, un processus est en cours pour le décliner dans le droit national. Le ministère des Armées, bien qu’il ne soit actuellement pas directement concerné par le dispositif de droit commun lié au règlement sanitaire international, ne peut toutefois pas s’en exonérer, compte tenu des risques sanitaires spécifiques liés aux flux de matériels et de personnel déployés lors d’opérations militaires hors métropole. De nombreuses questions demeurent à ce stade. De nécessaires adaptations devront être prises, au regard des spécificités et des contraintes opérationnelles des forces armées. Des rappels sur les objectifs, les obligations du règlement sanitaire international et de son dispositif d’application sur le territoire national sont présentés dans cet article. Les enjeux et les obligations du règlement sanitaire international pour le ministère des Armées, ainsi qu’un état des lieux sur le dispositif de mise en oeuvre du règlement sanitaire international au sein des forces armées, les expériences acquises dans ce domaine et les perspectives d’évolution sont également proposés.

Dans le contexte opérationnel actuel, en cas de blessure, les évacuations sanitaires sont précoces afin de respecter le paradigme de la médicalisation et chirurgicalisation de l’avant. L’explosion d’une bombe sale radio-contaminée est un scénario envisageable. Afin de respecter le principe du damage control, un patient catégorisé « alpha » devra être évacué précocement en confinant la contamination afin de prévenir le transfert vers les personnels soignants et la dispersion dans l’aéronef. Ce confinement est réalisé à l’aide d’une double couche de vinyle et d’une protection des voies aériennes supérieures. En développant les connaissances des intervenants (personnels sanitaires et navigants), cette technique autorise la prise en charge rapide du blessé hémorragique radio-contaminé selon le principe que l’urgence médico-chirurgicale prime sur la décontamination en ambiance NR. Il s’agit du concept de Damage control radiologique.
L'ESCRIM : le Service de santé des armées au service de l’hôpital de campagne de la sécurité civile

L’Élément de Sécurité civile rapide d’intervention médicale ou ESCRIM est l'hôpital de campagne de la Sécurité civile française. Structure médico-chirurgicale et obstétricale modulaire et projetable, sa mission est d’intervenir rapidement partout dans le monde pour porter assistance aux populations victimes de catastrophe humanitaire ou naturelle. Il est capable d’assurer quotidiennement 150 consultations et 15 interventions chirurgicales avec une capacité d’hospitalisation d’environ 80 lits. Ambassadeur du savoir-faire médical français, il offre une qualité de soins très proche de celles édictées par les sociétés savantes et évolue donc en permanence pour s’adapter aux règles de bonne pratique médicale. Armé conjointement par les formations militaires de la sécurité civile et le service d’incendie et de secours du Gard, c’est un parfait exemple de collaboration civilo-militaire. Travailler au sein de l’ESCRIM permet d’exercer dans un contexte rustique et inhabituel tant par l’originalité de la structure que par la variété des patients pris en charge. L’expérience ultra-marine et de médecine de guerre des médecins et infirmiers du Service de santé des armées qui sont amenés à y servir est pour l’ESCRIM une plus-value incontestable. Une mission avec l’ESCRIM constitue une formidable expérience humaine et professionnelle.

Introduction: la chirurgie stabilisatrice de l'épaule par butée coracoïdienne selon Latarjet est un traitement chirurgical reconnu dans l'instabilité antérieure d'épaule. Cette pathologie concerne fréquemment les militaires. En postopératoire, le risque potentiel de récidive et d'omarthrose secondaire explique l'inaptitude des candidats à l'engagement dans l'armée française. L'objectif de cette étude était d'analyser à long terme les résultats de cette chirurgie, afin d'en évaluer l'implication éventuelle sur l'aptitude médicale des militaires français. Patients et méthodes: une étude rétrospective a été menée en incluant 20 patients opérés d'une butée coracoïdienne selon Latarjet par le même opérateur avec un recul minimum de 15 ans. Le nombre de récidives de luxation, le score fonctionnel et le taux d'arthrose radiographique ont été évalués. Résultats: au recul moyen de 16,3 ans, aucun patient n'a présenté de récidive de luxation. Le score de Rowe moyen était de 91,8 ± 9,9. Le Subjective Shoulder Value moyen était de 89,2 ± 9,7. Trois patients ont développé des signes radiologiques d'arthrose de niveau I ou 2 selon Samilson. Aucune arthrose de stade 3 ou 4 n'était retrouvée. Discussion: les résultats fonctionnels et radiologiques à long terme des butées d'épaule dans l'instabilité d'épaule semblent bons. Ces résultats sont en accord avec ceux de la littérature, mais ne permettent pas de remettre en question les normes d'aptitude à l'engagement.
Respect des recommandations en matière de prévention bucco-dentaire par les militaires

Objectif : dans le domaine de l’odontologie, l’objectif du Service de santé est de permettre aux armées de disposer en opération de militaires capables d’effectuer leurs missions sans perte de temps ni d’efficacité attribuable à une cause dentaire. Pour atteindre cet objectif, les militaires doivent respecter les recommandations en matière de prévention dentaire (hygiène alimentaire et bucco-dentaire et suivi dentaire). L’objectif de l’étude HALBUMIL (Hygiène ALimentaire et BUcco-dentaire des MILitaires) est d’objectiver le respect de ces recommandations par les militaires. Méthode : un questionnaire portant sur les recommandations internationales en matière de prévention bucco-dentaire a été complété par les militaires des trois armées, de la gendarmerie et des services se présentant dans le cadre de leur visite médicale périodique dans l’une des antennes médicales des centres médicaux des armées de Draguignan, Toulon, Istres ou Clermont-Ferrand du 1er avril 2015 au 1er février 2016. Résultats : sur les 2 431 questionnaires recueillis durant l’étude, les 2 416 entièrement complétés (99,4 %) ont été analysés. Les recommandations sont respectées par 7,2 % des militaires pour l’hygiène alimentaire, 13,8 % pour l’hygiène bucco-dentaire de base, 71,5 % pour le suivi dentaire. Aucun militaire (0 %) ne respecte l’intégralité des recommandations. Le taux de respect de chaque recommandation est influencé par des facteurs qui lui sont propres : armée et catégorie de grade du militaire, âge, etc. Seul le genre influence tous les aspects de la prévention bucco-dentaire, les femmes étant plus respectueuses des recommandations que les hommes. Conclusion : en ne respectant pas les recommandations en matière de prévention bucco-dentaire, les militaires présentent un risque élevé de survenue de pathologies bucco-dentaires. Ceci est en concordance avec les taux élevés de consultations dentaires relevés en opération. Le déficit de connaissances et d’intérêt pour la santé bucco-dentaire semble jouer un rôle primordial dans le non-respect des recommandations contrairement au niveau socio-éducatif et au niveau de revenus. Pour pallier cette situation, la sensibilisation des militaires à la santé bucco-dentaire est indispensable. Pour être efficiente, cette sensibilisation devrait s’inclure dans une stratégie globale d’amélioration de la santé bucco-dentaire des militaires comprenant le dépistage, la prévention et la réalisation de soins dentaires précoces.
