Authors: Saldarriaga-Noreña Hugo , Montiel-Palma Silvia , Márquez Rebecca López- , Sánchez Josefina Vergara- , Murillo-Tovar Mario Alfonso
Published: July 2021

This study was carried out from September to December 2012 and January-February 2013, in the Faculty of Chemical Sciences of the Autonomous University of Coahuila, in total 13 samples were taken. On that period, dry weather predominated, with an average temperature of 17.0 °C, relative humidity of 52.0% and wind speed of 3.5 m s-1. The mean concentration for PM2.5 was 36.0 μg m-3. The most abundant metal in PM2.5 was Fe, with an average concentration of 1386.4 ng m-3 and the lowest concentration was obtained for Cd with 4.1 ng m-3. On the other hand, within the ionic species the most abundant were sulfates (3569.0 ng m-3), while ammonium was the least abundant species (490.9 ng m-3). The ion balance indicated that during the study period the suspended particles had acidic characteristics, which means that the amount of cations was not sufficient to neutralize the sulfates, nitrates and chlorides. Finally, the risk assessment indicates that of heavy metal in the PM2.5, represent a potential danger for the health of the population exposed to the inhalation of breathable suspended particles.

Escribir en la universidad requiere poner en práctica ha­bilidades de escritura que provee la comu­nidad discursiva en la que participa un individuo. Carecer de estas habilidades dificulta el aprendizaje en cualquier disciplina, es por ello que su adquisición se considera esencial en la formación universitaria. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar la opinión de estudiantes y docentes en cuanto a las habilidades para escribir en el primer año de universidad.  El instrumento que se utiliza es la Encuesta Europea sobre la Escritura Académica (EEEA), en específico la dimensión de habilidades para escribir, la cual consta de 21 ítems. Los sujetos encuestados son 137 estudiantes y 15 de sus profesores. Los primeros expresan qué tan seguros están de dominar las habilidades para escribir en la universidad y los segundos indican qué tan importantes las consideran en la formación académica de los estudiantes. Como resultado se comprueba que, en la mayoría de los ítems excepto en el de “insertar e integrar tablas y gráficas en un texto“, si existe diferencia significativa (p<0.05). Los resultados son de importancia debido a que los participantes son los principales actores del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y es deseable que sus opiniones estén alineadas.
Molecular characterization and expression analysis of an antimicrobial peptide, mytimacin-6, in the small abalone, Haliotis diversicolor
Authors: Xie Zhilv , Yao Tuo , Ye Lingtong , Wang Jiangyong
Published: July 2021

Macin is a family of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and is involved in the immune responses of marine mollusks. In the present study, a novel Mytimacin (denoted as Hd-mtmc 6) was identified from the small abalone Haliotis diversicolor by RNA-seq and RACE techniques. Hd-mtmc 6 contained a coding sequence of 243 bp and encoded 80 amino acids, with a putative peptide mytimacin 6 consisting of 61 amino acid residues. The mature peptide of Hd-mtmc 6 exhibited typical characteristics of AMPs, including net positive charge (+4), higher hydrophobic residue ratio (37%), and lower molecular mass. Eight cysteines in the mature peptide formed four disulfide bond bridges (C1-C6, C2-C5, C3-C7, and C4-C8). Moreover, the presence of the macin domain, a three-dimensional structure similar to that of hydramacin-1, and a phylogenetic relationship suggested that Hd-mtmc 6 could be a new member of the invertebrate macin family. In unchallenged abalone, the Hd-mtmc 6 transcript was expressed in all tested tissues and could be detected at different stages of embryonic development. Vibrio harveyi challenge caused a significant Hd-mtmc 6 transcripts upregulation within 2 - 6 h in the mantle and hepatopancreas. Our results suggested that Hd-mtmc 6 may be involved in innate immune responses of small abalone. Further investigations are required to confirm its antibacterial activity at the protein level.

Published: July 2021

Groundwater resources have become an important fresh water supply due to its increasing demandsfor agricultural, drinking and industrial uses. Groundwater is often contaminated by the process ofindustrial development and suburbanization that has gradually advanced over time without anyconcern for environmental consequences. The objective of this study is to analyse the groundwaterquality of shallow dug wells in parts of Tanah Merah district by conducting quality assessment ofgroundwater using WHO and MHO guide lines. Groundwater samples were collected from dugwells uniformly spread out across the study area to investigate the major ion chemistry of thegroundwater as well as physical parameter. The major ion being investigated are sodium,magnesium, calcium, potassium, sulphate, nitrate, chloride and bicarbonates. Various methods havebeen were employed to determine the major ions concentration in the samples such as atomicabsorption spectrophotometer for cations, gravimetric method for sulphates, titration method forchloride and bicarbonates and colorimetric method for nitrate ion. From the analysed data’s, mostwells are safe for drinking purpose although quite a small amount of ion concentration has surpassedthe permissible limit set by WHO and MOH. The graphical presentation of major ion chemistryaids in identifying two types of groundwater. Ionic species such as Na-K-HCO3 and mixed typewaters are likely to occur in the groundwater system. The analysed major ions concentrationsindicates that majority of the shallow dug wells reported adequate or lower values compared topermissible limit which are safe and can be utilized for various domestic purposes includingdrinking. Several recommendations has been suggested to proliferate the groundwater quality suchas strictly monitoring and supervising the dissipation of waste such as pesticides, industrial effluentand domestic sewage into the aquifer.

The objectives of this study were to determine morphology of Japanese quail strains andhatchability rate and egg quality between commercial strain which is Poultry Progress Institute(IKTA) strain and White Texas strains of Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica) rear in Malaysia. Atotal of 300 quails were randomly picked and the breastbone length, chest girth, body weight,body length, shank length and drum length were measured for the morphology. Then, 270 eggs ofCommercial and White Texas strains were used to test the hatchability rate (n=150) and eggquality (n=120). The ratio of the parents of the quails between male and female of each type ofstrain were 1:3. The cleanliness, shape, weight, and texture of the eggshell were observed,weighed and measured. The eggs were incubated for 17 days (37.6 °C, 65% humidity). The shapeindex, egg weight, egg volume and eggshell surface were weighed and measured for the exteriortrait of eggs. For interior trait, the albumen index, Haugh units, and internal quality units (IQU)were measured. Significant findings were observed in all of the features (P<0.05), except for thewing length in morphology. For hatchability rate, there was a high significant in the percentage ofhatchability of incubated eggs, hatchability of fertile eggs and smoothness texture of the eggshell.In egg quality there was high significant in Haugh unit but low significant internal quality unit.The significant variability might be due from the genetic information that inherited from theparents. The IKTA and White strains were not the same in morphology, hatchability rate andinterior trait of eggs but same exterior trait of eggs. In conclusion, this research is important ingiving information about Japanese quail strain in Malaysia and more genetic study should be donein the future to determine good strain and increase understanding about quail strain.

This experiment goal was to identify the effect of parity and body condition score (BCS) on oestrusexpressions (OE), post breeding reproductive performance (PBRP) of Katjang crossbred andchanges of progesterone (P4) concentration. Twenty-four does were treated with 14 dayssynchronisation followed by visual observation of oestrus expressions (standing heat (SH),mounted by other buck but not standing (MBNS), vocalization (VC), tail swaging (TW), andsniffing of the genital of other buck (SGB)) and blood sampling twice daily up to 72 hours followingControl Internal Drug Release (CIDR) removal. PBRP data was recorded for evaluation whichincluded pregnancy rate (PR), abortion rate (AR), mortality rate (MR), litter size (LS), litter birthweight (LBW) and gestation length (GL). Result revealed that there was no significant effect(P>0.05) of parity and BCS on OE, PBRP and progesterone concentration except for birth weightwhich had been affected by parity. Based on observation of OE of SH, it was found that accuracyof pregnancy prediction was up to 50%. Analysis of OE established reliability of OE in wassequence from SH>SGB>TW>MBNS>VC and onset of oestrus began approximately 33h post toCIDR removal. Analysis of PBRP shown parity?2 had heavier birth weight in single litter size thanparity?3 which was associated with no MR. Progesterone concentration indicated all of the doeswere on oestrus and highly susceptible as early as 48 h post to CIDR removal. In conclusion, thisstudy demonstrated that both non-genetic factors; parity and BCS are very poor in determining theeffect of OE, PBRP and P4 concentration due to limitation of sample size and greater influences ofexternal factors such as weather, extreme environmental condition and farm management. It isrecommended to improve program in future by focusing on enhancing the fertilization rate andreducing embryonic loss for optimum conception rate.

Blaptica dubia is a cockroach that used as feed for most reptiles and amphibians because of itnutritive value. Its alternative protein sources can replace the current high priced imported animalfeed such as fishmeal, soybeans and meat. It has potential as an animal feed and minimize highlivestock farming cost of the farmers. A study was conducted to determine the nutritionalcomposition (moisture, ash, crude protein, chitin and fat) of B. dubia in different growth stages.Moisture and ash determine using AOAC protocol, protein using Kjeldahl method, chitin usingchemical treatment and fat analysis using soxhlet extraction method. The proximate analysis ofadults and nymph of B. dubia contained 59.06-62.70% moisture, 2.47-4.17% ash, 47.50-54.32%crude protein, 3.83-5.58 % chitin and 35.49-44.22% fat on dry weight. Thus, the tested feed pelletscould be an alternative protein source as the animal feed especially in pet industry.

Published: July 2021

The utilisation of wet soya waste as feed is low due to difficulties of storage and transportation,which needs to reach normal technical standard and comprehensive utilisation. The aim of thisstudy was to investigate the effect of cracked corn grain as a source of moisture absorbent andenergy in a wet soya waste based total mixed ration silage on goat performance. Ten growing goatswere assigned to two feeding treatment groups for 84 days. Goats in Group 1 received Napier grass(Pennisetum purpuerum) ensiled with 30% soya waste (w/w) and 8% molasses (w/w) (T1) ascontrol, and Group 2 received same grass ensiled with 30% soya waste (w/w) and 15% crackedcorn grain (w/w) (T2). All goats received their respective silage ad libitum after 2 months offermentation. The pH in T1 silage was 4.1, while pH in T2 silage was 4.0. Goats fed T2 diet showedhigher intakes of dry matter, organic matter and metabolisable energy than those of goats fed T1diet, while it was observed vice versa for neutral detergent fibre intake. However, there was nodifference in average daily gain and feed conversion ratio between two treatment diets. Results ofthis study indicate that cracked corn grain, as a source of moisture absorbent and energy, can beused successfully in wet soya waste based total mixed ration silage for growing goats.

Cinnamomum iners (Lauraceae) is a traditional plant that widely used to relieve headache, breathingand appetite problems. This plant has been used over the centuries on several illnesses with bacterialsymptoms such as fevers, digestive ailments and coughs. However, lack of scientific studies havebeen conducted to identify its toxicity. Thus, an evaluation on the toxicity of this plant extracts iscrucial to support its therapeutic claims as well as to ensure that there was no side effects toconsumers. Various extracts from C. iners barks were screened for their toxicity against brineshrimp using the brine shrimp lethality test. All extracts exhibited very high LC50 (50% lethalconcentration) values greater than 1mg/ml (1000 ?g/ml) with the hexane extracts showed thehighest toxicity to the brine shrimp with LC50 value of 1306.79 ?g/ml, while the lowest toxicitywas the ethyl acetate extract at 3370.13 ?g/ml. This finding corroborates the traditional uses of thisplant and could be developed as another alternative natural sources in treating various diseases.
Escaping the Western Cosm-Ethical Hegemony: The Importance of Cultural Diversity in the Ethical Assessment of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Goffi Emmanuel
Published: July 2021

The world of Artificial intelligence (AI) is struggling to set standards that would be globally applied. In this struggle, ethics is extensively summoned to regulate the development and use of AI systems, but also to promote vested interests. The potential benefits associated with AI are such that many actors, public and private, have entered a race for AI dominance led by the United States and China. In this context some actors, such as the European Union, are slowly taking over AI regulation and setting the limits regarding what is ethically acceptable and what is not. Aware of the power of norms, the West has slowly spread its normative influence all around the world, releasing hundreds of documents pertaining to ethical principles, and denying the reality of a world made of a diversity of ethical stances. To impose its own views on ethics applied to AI, the West has developed an ethical narrative transforming ethics into cosm-ethics, that is mere make up through communication. This paper aims at opening a debate on the reality of ethics applied to AI. It contextualizes the subject in a wider setting of race for AI dominance, stressing the Western ethical hegemony over AI established through a pseudo ethical narrative. To illustrate these points, it focuses on the case of the European Union, to eventually stress the urgent need for cultural pluralism in the field of ethics applied to AI.
Good AI for the Present of Humanity Democratizing AI Governance
Authors: Corrêa Nicholas , Fernandes de Oliveira Nythamar
Published: July 2021

What do Cyberpunk and AI Ethics have to do with each other? Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that explores the post-human relationships between human experience and technology. One similarity between AI Ethics and Cyberpunk literature is that both seek to explore future social and ethical problems that our technological advances may bring upon society. In recent years, an increasing number of ethical matters involving AI have been pointed and debated, and several ethical principles and guides have been suggested as governance policies for the tech industry. However, would this be the role of AI Ethics? To serve as a soft and ambiguous version of the law? We would like to advocate in this article for a more Cyberpunk way of doing AI Ethics, with a more democratic way of governance. In this study, we will seek to expose some of the deficits of the underlying power structures of the AI industry, and suggest that AI governance be subject to public opinion, so that ‘good AI’ can become ‘good AI for all.’
How to Improve Fairness Perceptions of AI in Hiring: The Crucial Role of Positioning and Sensitization
Authors: Hunkenschroer Anna
Published: July 2021

Companies increasingly deploy artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in their personnel recruiting and selection processes to streamline them, thus making them more efficient, consistent, and less human biased (Chamorro-Premuzic, Polli, & Dattner, 2019) . However, prior research found that applicants prefer face-to-face interviews compared with AI interviews, perceiving them as less fair (e.g., Acikgoz, Davison, Compagnone, & Laske, 2020) . Additionally, emerging evidence exists that contextual influences, such as the type of task for which AI is used (Lee, 2018) , or applicants’ individual differences (Langer, König, Sanchez, & Samadi, 2019) , may influence applicants’ reactions to AI-powered selection. The purpose of our study was to investigate whether adjusting process design factors may help to improve people's fairness perceptions of AI interviews. The results of our 2 x 2 x 2 online study (N = 404) showed that the positioning of the AI interview in the overall selection process, as well as participants’ sensitization to its potential to reduce human bias in the selection process have a significant effect on people’s perceptions of fairness. Additionally, these two process design factors had an indirect effect on overall organizational attractiveness mediated through applicants’ fairness perceptions. The findings may help organizations to optimize their deployment of AI in selection processes to improve people’s perceptions of fairness and thus attract top talent.
Ethical Review in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Published: July 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning, has made significant strides in the past decade. Due to the widely applicable nature of this technology, the emergence of increasingly intelligent machines is poised to transform today’s society. Recently, the rate of AI development has aroused significant concerns due to the lack of guiding policy and regulation. Thus, it is integral for the public to recognize the technology and make informed choices regarding the future of AI. This paper serves to acquaint the layperson and other stakeholders involved in AI development with the current progress of AI and the ethical concerns that must be addressed before significant advancements. The subject of discussion is narrowed down to three fields of AI’s most prominent use: (1) the internet; (2) the automotive industry; and (3) the healthcare industry. For each sector, the foundation of the domain-specific AI technique is introduced, the benefits and ethical ramifications are discussed, and a final cost-benefit analysis is provided.
Insults and prejudices against Kosovar women politicians that are present in the media
Authors: Sylejmani Nimani Arbenita
Published: July 2021

Offensive and sexist statements against women politicians in Kosovo and women in general are no longer unknown, especially when they are made public, either through various media or through statuses on various social networks. But, in Kosovo, recently there have been insults against Kosovar women politicians by their colleagues, Kosovar men politicians, which insults clearly tend to increase. These statements contain the following epithets: dealing with their body weight, calling them 'cows', 'beautiful', 'prostitutes', and even inviting them on a date. Also, in the media several times and recently, bias has been noted regarding women’s jealousy by calling them jealous, even of those fighting for human rights.

In this paper, content analysis is used, where the contents of some media are analyzed, such as television and some online media. The contents of the messages written against the Kosovar woman politician were analyzed.

Offensive statements and prejudices against Kosovar women politicians were pointed out to be very harmful, because this could damage the chances of women politicians to be successful and could contribute to the woman being further qualified only on the basis of her beauty and not to be treated according to its wisdom.

On the Use of "Snow" in Turkish Poetry in the Republican Period
Authors: UYGUR Emin Osman
Published: July 2021

Elements of nature have an important place in Turkish literature, as in almost every other literature. This situation is reflected as an indicator in terms of conceptual richness. Turkish literature of the Republican period covers a long period (1923-1980 and later). Although he did not write a poem with the title of snow in this long period, many poets used the image of snow in different ways. Thus, good examples were created in terms of the richness of meaning of the Turkish language in poems. In the study, semantic classification and analysis were made on the snow poems, which have a special place in the works of the poets of the Republican period. Along with 29 poems with snow in the title, 30 poetry books of 27 poets were scanned in terms of the word snow. The data obtained as a result of the scans were itemized according to the usage characteristics in the forms such as literal meaning, metaphorical meaning, idiom, simile and name transfer in terms of semantics. In addition, the frequency rates of the words snow and rain in these poetry books are given in tables. Based on the frequency-scanned works, it was possible to compare the poets' use of snow and rain. Mixed method was used in the research. As a result of the study, it was seen that the snow was used in almost all poets whose works were scanned and in semantic forms.

A metaphor is the use of a word in a non-original meaning to a similar relationship with evidence that is prohibited from the original meaning. It is known that the metaphor is not understood without the context in which it is based. For the researcher who studies its conditions, he must understand its context and find out the meaning. From here, we preferred to study the rhetorical structure in the Tafseer of a scholar Ibn Ashur who is known for his own understanding of the Qur’anic text, in order to investigate the connotations of metaphor on the one hand, and to find out his understanding of Quranic metaphor on the other hand. This research aims to highlight the impact of metaphor in Tafseer of Ibn Ashur and explore his rhetorical thinking, relying on the analytical and rhetorical method.

Crimes against women include many crimes, but this research paper focuses on rape cases and seeks to find out when television channels cover rape cases, what are the consequences of it, how they affect the Islamic society and what has been said about it in the light of Qur'an and Hadith? This topic is also important because no significant research paper on this subject has been written in Pakistan before and no clear picture has emerged. The pamphlet assumes that the broadcasting of incidents of rape of women on television channels is having a negative impact on the society, which has been investigated in every possible way. In this regard, various incidents of rape from 2012 to 2014 have been studied in the broadcasts of two television channels. A survey was also conducted to gauge public opinion, which revealed a variety of views. The survey included all kinds of questions that cover the entire subject. On the other hand, an interview with a victim has been conducted to find out the opinion of the rape survivor; while an interview with an individual associated with electronic media and a psychologist is also part of this pamphlet. The study found that news channels do not pay attention to a single statement while covering rape incidents, while on the other hand, the identity of the victim is revealed, which is also denied by our religion Islam and the Qur'an. According to the findings, more research is needed in the near future, and television channels need to collaborate with researchers and give them access to content. Similarly, there is a need for a large-scale comprehensive study in which data from all over the country is collected so that a complete picture can emerge.

Providing its services in accordance with the principles of Shariah and maintaining the trust of stakeholders is essential for the existence of Islamic financial institutions. Islamic banks should be run under an integrated and regulated standard system called Shariah Governance Framework (SGF) The SBP, AAOFI and IFSB have proposed separate governance frameworks, However, the framework issued by the SBP is characterized by the fact that external Shariah audit is an important component of it which to ensure the independent and sovereign accountability of Islamic financial institutions. This means that Islamic financial institutions will no longer be content with internal sources such as internal Shariah audits and reviews to verify Shariah compliance, but will necessarily have to verify it with a third external party called an external Shariah audit. But after the mandatory implementation of this type of audit in Pakistan, there are many problems such as disinclination of experts, uniformity in the duration of audit and burden of responsibilities, non-standardization in the affairs of Islamic financial institutions, lack of precautionary measures taken by regulators, lack of curriculum and proper training, lack of detailed framework or format and lack of career counseling etc. This research paper covers these difficulties in the light of expert opinions.

Judaism is a racial religion because in Jewish sacred literature the Isaiah have always been addressed. Even the God is addressed as the God Isaiah and Isaiah is declared as the favorite people of God. This highlights the concept of a racial God. However, the teachings and sharia of Moses is also reduced to only Isaiah. It shows that the honorable nation of the world is Isaiah and it is Isaiah who will get salvation in hereafter. No other religion or nation has any value in the eyes of God so it is forbidden to have any social, economic or political relationship with other religions or nations.

Considerando a magnitude da ‘Sífilis na Gestação’, buscou-se avaliar o serviço de testagem oferecido através da Atenção Básica em Altamira. Através de estudo ecológico descritivo de base documental, as seguintes variáveis foram investigadas: número de gestantes atendidas, quantitativo de testes realizados, resultado dos testes e período gestacional de testagem. Foi avaliado também o fluxo de atendimento preconizado pela Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. Do total de 27.280 gestantes acompanhadas durante o período do estudo, 100% foram submetidas ao teste rápido e em 390 casos houve confirmação diagnóstica através de VDRL (1,42% do total). Na maioria, essas ocorrências foram registradas durante o terceiro trimestre da gestação. Em nenhum caso houve diagnóstico por ocasião do parto. O ‘Protocolo’ adotado parece estar adequado às necessidades diagnósticas e assistenciais relacionadas à Sífilis entre a população gestante, bem como atende às recomendações das principais políticas de cuidado obstétrico do país. No entanto, essas medidas não foram suficientes para reduzir o número de pessoas infectadas. Sugere-se a ampliação da testagem desde o primeiro contato com a gestante e celeridade na divulgação dos diagnósticos, para oportunizar o tratamento em tempo adequado. Enquanto isso, mais e melhores ações de educação em saúde podem colaborar para o controle da doença.

Le diverticule de Zenker est une hernie acquise de la muqueuse postérieure de la jonction pharyngo-esophagienne. C’est une pathologie rare qui se manifeste en général par une dysphagie et des régurgitations. Son traitement est soit chirurgical associant une diverticulectomie et une myotomie du muscle cricopharyngien , soit endoscopique par une oesophago-diverticulostomie. Nous rapportons un cas de diverticule de Zenker traité dans le service de chirurgie carcinologique du CAC Batna en 2015, en précisant les modalités diagnostiques, thérapeu-tiques et les caractéristiques évolutives. Il s’agit d’une femme à l’âge de 62 ans. La symptomatologie clinique était dominée par la dysphagie progressive et les régurgitations alimentaires ainsi que des picotements pharyngés. L’examen cervical n’a pas révélé d’anomalies. La fibroscopie oesogastroduodénale retrouvait une poche diverticulaire au niveau de l’orifice supérieur de l’oesophage. Un transit oesophagien retrouvait un diverticule de Zenker. Cette femme a été opérée par voie cervicale externe. Elle a bénéficié d’une diverticulectomie. Les suites opératoires étaient simples et favorables. Le diverticule de Zenker est une entité rare qui touche essentiellement le sujet âgé de sexe masculin. Il se manifeste par une dysphagie, des régurgitations, et moins fréquemment par des manifestations respiratoires. L’amaigrissement s’observe dans 20 % des cas. Le transit baryté permet de porter le diagnostic. Son traitement peut être chirurgical ou endoscopique. Les suites opératoires sont plus simples après un traitement endoscopique ; cependant, l’amélioration des signes est moindre. Pour les sujets âgés, la myotomie extra-muqueuse et le traitement par voie endoscopique semblent plus adaptés.

Introduction : Les complications emboliques de l’endocardite infectieuse sont graves et mettent en jeu le pronostic vital. Parmi ces complications emboliques, les complications cérébrales. Leur prévalence varie entre 10 et 65 % selon les études et selon la technique d’imagerie utilisée. Leur spectre est large. Il comprend les AVC ischémiques et hémorragiques, les AIT, les AVC silencieux. La constatation échocardiographique d’une végétation de plus de 15 mm, mobile, dont la taille varie au cours du suivi ou à staphylocoque doré doit faire craindre un risque embolique accru. Le but de ce travail est de montrer qu’une coronarographie peut se compliquer d’endocardite et que cette dernière peut se compliquer d’une rupture d’un anévrisme mycotique cérébral. Observation : Nous rapportons l’observation d’un adulte âgé de 47 ans connu pour syndrome coronarien ayant bénéficié d’une coronarographie et qui a présenté quelques jours après une fièvre à 40°c qui a été rattachée à une endocardite vu le contexte. Le malade a présenté deux jours après son admission un hématome cérébral suite à la rupture d’un anévrysme mycotique cérébral sans séquelle. En préopératoire, la radiographie pulmonaire objective un ICT a 0 ,58 et des opacités floconneuses bilatérales ; l’ECG : Tachycardie sinusale ; Echocardiographie : insuffisance aortique massive, végétation aortique à 13 mm, VG non dilaté, FE : 60 %, PAPS : 55 mm hg ; l’ETO a confirmé l’insuffisance aortique et la présence de végétation et a objectivé un abcès du trigone mitro-aortique. Hémoculture positive à staphylocoque doré et bilan rénal perturbé. IRM cérébrale : hématome cérébral suite à la rupture d’un anévrysme mycotique cérébral. TDM abdominale : Multiples abcès et foyers de nécrose splénique et hépatique. Exploration per opératoire : Grosse végétation au niveau de la cusp non coronaire avec déchirure de cette dernière et présence d’un abcès annulaire détergé au niveau non coronaire. Le geste était la résection des cusps aortiques et les végétations ont été envoyées en bactériologie, réparation de l’anneau aortique du coté non coronaire et remplacement valvulaire aortique par une prothèse mécanique. Les suites post opératoires étaient simples. Conclusion : Les manifestations emboliques cérébrales de l’EI sont associées à une discrète surmortalité. Un diagnostic rapide et l’instauration d’une antibiothérapie appropriée sont d’une importance majeure pour limiter le risque de complications emboliques neurologiques.

Introduction : Les traumatismes vasculaires ouverts sont relativement fréquents ; ils peuvent engager le pronostic fonctionnel et vital des membres. Ils sont toujours associés à des lésions des parties molles ou des organes de voisinage. La présentation clinique est variable. Le but de ce travail est de montrer l’intérêt d’explorer chirurgicalement l’artère humérale ainsi que la bifurcation humérale lors des traumatismes pénétrants du coude avec abolition des pouls. Méthodes : Nous rapportons l’observation d’un jeune maçon âgé de 21 ans victime d’un traumatisme pénétrant du coude gauche par une barre en fer à la suite d’une chute d’un échafaudage présentant une abolition du pouls radial gauche sans lésion osseuse lors de l’examen physique, avec main et avant-bras gauche bien colorés sans troubles sensitivomoteurs. L’exploration per opératoire après ablation de la barre en fer on trouvait une perte de substance artérielle humérale de 3 cm avec des bouts rétractés et thrombosés sans lésion nerveuse ni veineuse associée. Le geste consistait en un rétablissement de la continuité artérielle humérale par la veine basilique homolatérale après préparation des extrémités artérielles humérales. Résultats : Les suites post-opératoires étaient simples avec réapparition du pouls radial homolatéral. Conclusion : Les traumatismes vasculaires ouverts peuvent se révéler soit par une hémorragie soit par une ischémie. L’exploration de l’artère humérale doit être systématique après luxation ouverte du coude. La présence d’une lésion d’un vaisseau doit être suspectée et explorée devant une ouverture sur le trajet d’un axe vasculaire. Le traitement est adapté aux lésions vasculaires et éventuellement aux lésions associées. Il est chirurgical conventionnel ou endovasculaire. L'urgence de sa mise en oeuvre est fonction de l'intensité du choc hémorragique ou des répercussions ischémiques d’aval. Le syndrome de Walkmann peut se voire en post opératoire.
