Masculinités et féminités à la frontière maroco-espagnole. Miroirs d’un contrôle migratoire racialisé et genré
Authors: Tyszler Elsa 
Published: December 2020

Cette contribution éclaire une dimension peu étudiée des perceptions, stratégies et tactiques déployées par les acteurs et actrices confronté·es à l’articulation entre sécurité et migration en Afrique, ici autour du cas des ressortissant·es d’Afrique centrale et de l’Ouest tentant de franchir la frontière maroco-espagnole. L’article explore, d’un point de vue ethnographique, comment les masculinités et les féminités de migrant·es racisé·es sont reconfigurées aux portes des enclaves de Ceuta et Melilla. S’appuyant sur un travail de terrain de longue durée, réalisé entre 2015 et 2017, il présente plusieurs figures d’hommes migrants dans cet espace spécifique, celle des « sauteurs de barrières » et celle du « chairman », tout en montrant, en miroir, l’articulation de ces masculinités à la construction de féminités particulières. Étudier les conditions de production et de performance de ces positions sociales (plus ou moins) éphémères de genre, c’est entreprendre une compréhension beaucoup plus détaillée des conséquences actuelles des politiques migratoires et de ce qu’elles génèrent en termes de violences racistes, sexistes et sexuelles.
Les initiatives citoyennes de soutien aux migrants en Belgique. De l’humanitaire à la contestation politique

Published: December 2020

À l’instar de nombreux pays européens, la Belgique fait face depuis 2015 à l’arrivée de migrants marqués par une extrême vulnérabilité. Leur accueil a amené les sociétés européennes à se polariser autour de la question migratoire et a suscité de larges débats portant sur la gestion sécuritaire des migrations et les réponses humanitaires à apporter. Dans ce contexte, la Belgique a vu fleurir de nombreuses initiatives citoyennes désirant combler les manquements (perçus ou réels) des institutions d’accueil et d’intégration. Construites et structurées autour de l’aide humanitaire à pourvoir aux migrants, ces initiatives participent à l’émergence de dynamiques (et demandes) relationnelles dépassant la « simple » réponse aux besoins primaires et elles déclenchent des positionnements et des revendications d’ordre politique. Sur la base de deux études de cas engageant principalement des migrants provenant de pays africains, cet article présente une analyse micro des processus par lesquels les relations tissées au sein de l’action humanitaire participent à la redéfinition des finalités de ces mouvements citoyens, faisant entrer des objectifs politiques dans une action centrée sur un registre initialement éthique. Notre analyse s’adresse également aux espaces et formes de prise de parole des migrants au sein de ces dynamiques, et du processus de leur politisation.

ABSTRACTCOVID-19 is a global public health emergency affecting many countries around the world. Although African governments and other stakeholders are making efforts to contain the pandemic, the outbreak continues to impact human rights and exacerbates inequalities and disparities that are already in existence. The concept of inclusive health focuses on good health and well-being for everyone, and this entails health services that are equitable, affordable, and efficacious. Creating equitable access to mainstream health and healthcare services and ensuring inclusive health responses remain a means of addressing health inequities and disparities. In this article, we argue on the need for inclusive responses to public health emergencies in Africa using COVID-19 as a case example. Africa’s response to public health emergencies needs to recognize that for every marginalized/vulnerable group, it is important to strategize to address their particular needs in such a way to surmount any barrier to the right to health. For Africa’s public health response to be more inclusive, we therefore need to be more strategic and proactive in reaching out to specific groups and to identify and address their needs. Strengthening the healthcare systems of African countries through increased political will, increased funding to health care, collaboration and cooperation among stakeholders, and effective leadership remains essential in ensuring inclusive responses to health emergencies.

BACKGROUND: The Guy’s stone score, S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry, CROES nomogram, and S-ReSC scoring system have recently been externally validated as effective predictors of stone-free rate after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.OBJECTIVE: We describe herein the advantages of identifying the most accurate scale and propose its standardized use.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed 188 patients that underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy for kidney stones within the time frame of October 2010 and July 2015 at a tertiary care referral center. Preoperative and postoperative non-contrast computed tomography scans were used in all patients to compare the four scoring systems, using the strict criterion of absolute absence of residual stone as the stone-free rate.RESULTS: The overall stone-free rate was 57.9%. All scoring systems presented a statistically significant stone-free rate (p<0.001). Only the Guy’s stone score had no correlation with postoperative complications. The four scoring systems had similar accuracy, none of them were more predictive for stone-free rate than the other, and there was no significant difference in the areas under the curve between them (p=0.2). In addition, each scale had a correlation with operative time and length of hospital stay.CONCLUSIONS: The four scales analyzed were excellent predictors for stone-free rate. They had similar receiver operating characteristic curves and areas under the curve, with no significant differences between them. However, the Guy’s stone score presented the best predictive capacity and the S-ReSC scoring system was the best method for predicting complications. It is up to the urologic community to decide which evidence-based scale is the most suitable. Meanwhile, the need for a standardized method continues to grow.

Complicaciones por el uso de bolsas recolectoras de orina con válvula antirreflujo versus modificada de Chavolla en pacientes con hematuria
Authors: Chavolla-Canal Alan Johan , Dubey-Malagon Luis Antonio , Mendoza-Sandoval Alejandra Ahtziri , Vazquez-Perez Daniel 
Published: December 2020

ANTECEDENTES: La disfunción de la bolsa recolectora de orina afecta todo el sistema de drenaje urinario y provoca consecuencias importantes para los pacientes.
OBJETIVO: Analizar las complicaciones originadas por el uso de la bolsa recolectora de orina tradicional disponible y compararlas con las de la bolsa modificada de Chavolla.
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio prospectivo, transversal, no aleatorizado, efectuado en pacientes con diagnóstico de hematuria persistente que requirieron sonda transuretral con cistoclisis y bolsas recolectoras de orina. Los pacientes se dividieron en grupo 1: bolsa tradicional y grupo 2: bolsa modificada de Chavolla. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron medias y desviación estándar de las variables cuantitativas y proporciones (frecuencias) de las variables cualitativas. Los resultados de las medias y desviación estándar se compararon con t de Student y las frecuencias con c2.
RESULTADOS: Se registraron 35 pacientes: 10 en el grupo 1 y 25 en el grupo 2. Ambos tuvieron edad y comorbilidades similares. En todos los pacientes del grupo 1 falló el sistema de drenaje y requirieron el cambio por la bolsa modificada de Chavolla (tiempo promedio de 3 horas). En el grupo 2 no se registraron fallas de la bolsa colectora de orina. La principal complicación en todos los casos fue la obstrucción de la bolsa por un coágulo, sin atribuirse per se a la intensidad del sangrado.
CONCLUSIÓN: La bolsa recolectora de orina modificada de Chavolla es efectiva en pacientes con cistoclisis por hematuria.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is a very rare diagnosis with only about 60 reported cases. To the best of our knowledge, the present report is the first on that tumor associated with prostate cancer. CLINICAL CASE: An 84-year-old man with a history of castration-resistant prostate cancer presented with a non-tender, solid, right testicular mass. Tumor markers were within normal limits. The patient underwent radical inguinal orchiectomy and the pathology study reported adenocarcinoma of the rete testis. Diagnosis was confirmed through immunohistochemistry and staining was positive for high molecular weight cytokeratin (CK HMW) and cytokeratin 5/6, and negative for PSA. CONCLUSION: Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is a very rare condition. Clinical presentation of those tumors is nonspecific, and the diagnostic immunohistochemistry profile has not been well defined. Prognosis is poor, with a short overall survival rate.

ANTECEDENTES: La incidencia de fístula urinaria posterior a un trasplante renal varía de 1.2-8.9%; esta complicación se ha relacionado con necrosis isquémica del uréter. Se recomienda la aplicación de un catéter doble J para disminuir su incidencia. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente femenina de 42 años que recibió trasplante renal de donador cadavérico, con reimplante ureterovesical mediante la técnica Lich-Gregoir para anastomosis. Catorce días después del procedimiento inició con salida espontánea de orina por el sitio donde se localizaba el drenaje quirúrgico. El tratamiento inicial consistió en derivación vesical durante cuatro semanas, sin mejoría del cuadro clínico, por lo que se decidió la colocación de un balón de oclusión de 34 Fr x 65 cm (Boston Occluder®) junto al catéter vesical, además de nefrostomía percutánea. Se logró disminuir el gasto urinario después de una semana y en la tercera se realizó pielografía anterógrada sin evidencia de fuga urinaria; se le retiró el balón de oclusión y se colocó un catéter doble J, con permanencia del catéter de nefrostomía pinzado y la derivación vesical por catéter transuretral. A seis semanas del procedimiento se retiró el catéter ureteral. Luego de 12 meses de seguimiento se observó el cierre completo de la fístula, los volúmenes urinarios y las concentraciones de azoados se encontraron dentro de los parámetros normales, y no se evidenciaron datos de afectación del injerto renal. CONCLUSIONES: La colocación de un balón de oclusión ureteral, además de nefrostomía, representa una nueva alternativa para tratar pacientes con fístula proximal de alto volumen. PALABRAS CLAVE: Balón de oclusión; fístula urinaria; trasplante renal; tratamiento endoscópico.
Ultrasonido Doppler de pene en la evaluación posterior a prostatectomía radical. Revisión bibliográfica y recomendaciones
Authors: Uribe Juan Fernando , Aluma Luis Javier 
Published: December 2020

Changes in sexual function are common in patients following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Sexual rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy requires a complex process in which the diagnosis is refined, and an accurate treatment program is chosen. Penile Doppler ultrasound is a commonly used method for diagnosing erectile dysfunction and it is very useful in certain cases after surgery to improve the assessment of arterial evaluation, venous leaks, and quality of the cavernous tissue and fascia. A literature search was conducted using the databases from Google and PubMed to identify original and review articles that examined the uses of penile Doppler ultrasound in post-radical prostatectomy evaluation or post-surgery rehabilitation. Search terms included: Erectile dysfunction post radical prostatectomy, sexual function post radical prostatectomy, Penile evaluation post-prostatectomy, Diagnosis of erectile function after radical surgery, Penile Doppler ultrasound AND prostatectomy, Penile Doppler ultrasound AND sexual rehabilitation. The initial search resulted in 415 articles. After applying additional filters, 46 studies were included in the present review. Backgrounds of the most relevant guidelines were cited: Standard practice in sexual medicine, Standard operating procedure in sexual medicine, International Consultation on Sexual Medicine, and the EAU and AUA guidelines. Information on the use of penile Doppler ultrasound before surgery is extremely inconsistent in the literature. The recommendations for a successful evaluation of post-radical prostatectomy patients were included. Sexual rehabilitation after radical prostatectomy requires a complex process. There is great inconsistency in the literature with respect to the definition of what is considered normal erectile function before surgery and what may be considered normal erection after radical prostatectomy. The cost of penile Doppler ultrasound is a modest component of the penile post-radical prostatectomy rehabilitation process. Current evidence does not support the systematic use of penile Doppler ultrasound, but it must be included in the management algorithm of the patient undergoing radical prostate surgery so that erectile function can be properly evaluated.

Authors: Balasubramanian Meera , Palayyan Muralidharan , Rajeswary Hari 
Published: December 2020

Introduction and Aim: PCOS is a complicated endocrinopathy of women in reproductive age with unknown etiology causing ovulatory dysfunction and metabolic disturbances. The present study investigated the effects of ethanolic seed extract of Caesalpinia bonducella (ESECB) in a mifepristone model of polycystic ovarian syndrome, which has the same clinical and metabolic features as in PCOS women.
Materials and Methods: A daily administration of mifepristone (4mg/kg b.w.) to female rats for 8 days induces PCOS by indicating persistent estrous cycle. PCOS induced rats were treated with ESECB 200mg and 400mg/kg b. w. per oral for 28 days and at the end, the weight of the body and reproductive organs were determined. Biochemical parameters were also estimated. Metformin was used as a standard drug.
Results: A significant increase (p<0.01)in the weight of the body and reproductive organs as well as hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia were observed in the PCOS induced animals, which were reduced considerably in the ESECB drug treated animals. Among two concentrations the animals which received 400mg/kg b. w. of ESECB drug showed significant effect when comparable to the animals which received 200mg/kg b. w. of ESECB.
Conclusion: Based on these observations the ethanolic seed extract of Caesalpinia bonducella (ESECB) can be used as a potential drug in the management of PCOS.

Authors: Pathak Ravi Kant , Singh Deepika , Gupta Krishna Kumar , Maurya Shweta 
Published: December 2020

Introduction and Aim: Worldwide, people are suffering from the increased risk of cancer due to change in lifestyle, feeding habit and quality of food. To overcome this global problem, Mushroom act as a magic wand. The recent investigations reveal that cancer prevalence is inversely proportional to the intake of mushroom; this is because of its proteins, vitamins, carbohydrate and antioxidants contents.
Materials and Methods: Among various species of mushrooms, Pleurotus mushrooms are considered as nutraceuticals i.e. it has nutritional and medicinal values. However, mushroom products and extracts possess immunomodulating and direct cytotoxic effect on cancer cells.
Results: The results from the present study shows the potential cytotoxic effect of Pleurotus from Florida against cervical cancer (SIHA) cell line through apoptosis. When SIHA cells were incubated with varying concentration of methanolic extract of Pleurotus from Florida for time (48 hrs). The MTT assay revealed the cytotoxic activity of MME of Pleurotus from Florida in a dose dependent manner. The cell cycle analysis of the SIHA cells revealed that MME of Pleurotus from Florida have anti-cancerous activity.
Conclusion: The study could be concluded as the Pleurotus from Florida extract can be useful in the treatment of cervical cancers. The chemical compounds present in the P. from Florida might be useful in the development of drug for the treatment of cancer patients.

Published: December 2020

Background/Objective: Asia-Pacific Initiative for Rheumatology nurse Education (ASPIRE) is a faculty-led initiative established to meet the educational needs of rheumatology nurses in Asia Pacific in recognition of the expanding role of nurses in daily rheumatology clinical practice. The objective of this study is to measure the impact of ASPIRE workshop training on nurses’ levels of knowledge, confidence, attitudes and beliefs using a Before-after-control-impact (BACI) survey.Methods: A total of 210 nurses who completed both pre- and post-surveys were included in the BACI analysis. The intervention group (n = 111) refers to nurses who attended the ASPIRE workshop training held during the China Chronic Disease Management Forum in Baotou, Inner Mongolia in September 2019 whereas the control group (n = 99) refers to Chinese nurses that have never attended the ASPIRE training. Results: Overall level of knowledge significantly increased by 30% (5.63 pre- vs. 8.34 post-survey; p < .001), and overall level of confidence significantly increased by 29% among nurses who attended ASPIRE training (5.83 pre- vs. 8.39 post-survey; p < .001). Nurses in the control group demonstrated no significant increase in knowledge (6.18 pre- vs. 6.50 post-survey; p = .097) or confidence (6.46 pre- vs. 6.71 post-survey; p = .169) over the same period.}Conclusions: Nurses who attended the ASPIRE training workshop reported a significant increase in their levels of knowledge and confidence compared with a control group of nurses who have never undergone ASPIRE training. Training rheumatology nurses to acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills can help optimize their role in clinical practice to meet the greater demands of disease monitoring and long-term management of rheumatology patients.

Electrochemical, Thermodynamic, Surface, and Spectroscopic Study in Inhibition of Iron Corrosion with Turmeric Root Extract (TRE)
Authors: Almzarzie Khuloud , Almassri Ayman , Falah Ahmad , Kellawi Hassan 
Published: December 2020

Turmeric root extract was tested as corrosion inhibitor for iron in 0.5 M HCl, using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The inhibition efficiency increases as the time of immersion rises but decreases with temperature rise. The Nyquist plots showed that the charge transfer resistance increases and the double-layer capacitance decreases as the time of immersion increases. Tafel results show that both corrosion current and corrosion speed are reduced with time of immersion. All impedance spectra of EIS tests exhibit one capacitive loop, which indicates that the corrosion reaction is controlled by charge transfer process. Inhibition efficiency increases with the concentration of the inhibitor reaching its maximum value, 88.90%, at 8 g/100 mL. Thermodynamic parameters, Ea, ∆H*, and ∆S*, were estimated, and the mechanism of corrosion and inhibition was discussed. The adsorption of turmeric root extract followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm.
