Prevalence of Dark without Pressure and Angioid Streaks in Sickle Cell Disease
Authors: Lott Pooi Wah , McKibbin Martin 
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the prevalence of areas of dark without pressure (DWOP) and angioid streaks (AS) in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This was a consecutive series of 77 adults with SCD.

RESULTS:
DWOP appeared as multiple patches in 35 of the affected eyes and as a single lesion in 3 eyes. OCT finding demonstrated the ellipsoid layer was hyporeflective in DWOP. AS were identified in six cases (3.9%) and were bilateral in five cases. The prevalence of AS was higher with increasing age, being 67% in the patients older than age 45 years.

CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of DWOP in adults with SCD is 25% in this study, which is higher than previously reported, and the prevalence of AS is around 4%, which is midway between prior estimates. Recognition of the clinical examination and imaging features of DWOP reduce the need for additional investigation.

Les processus de valuation de ressources pédagogiques numériques : le cas du collectif AECIUT
Authors: Seurrat Aude , Benkouar Benyoucef 
Published: November 2021

Cet article s’appuie sur une enquête menée actuellement dans le cadre d’un projet ANR (RENOIR-IUT) sur les ressources pédagogiques en IUT et vise à analyser les processus par lesquels des acteurs (des enseignants en IUT) attribuent de la valeur à des ressources pédagogiques qui leur sont proposées sur le site d’un collectif enseignant. Fondé sur une enquête consacrée à l’association AECIUT1 articulée à l’analyse techno-sémiotique de son site Web, le travail vise à questionner les conditions de production et d’appropriation des ressources. Ce qui fait que ces enseignants accordent une valeur particulière aux ressources numériques produites par ce collectif plus qu’à une pluralité d’autres ressources disponibles sur le sujet. Cet article part de l’idée que les valeurs peuvent être constituées comme des observables et que les pratiques de communication – en ligne et hors ligne – peuvent être appréhendées comme des processus d’attribution de valeurs.
Le numérique facilite-t-il l’accès ouvert aux communs scientifiques ?
Authors: Jullien Nicolas 
Published: November 2021

L’économie de la science et des revues scientifiques est complexe. Pour mieux comprendre les trajectoires de basculement vers les publications ouvertes, cet article propose de décrire leur « modèle économique » et ce qu’Internet a changé. Après un rapide rappel des questions soulevées par l’accès ouvert, nous proposons d’étudier la revue scientifique comme un « commun de connaissance ». Cela nous fournit un cadre afin de structurer les enjeux pour chaque acteur de la revue, et ainsi de décrire les différents types de revues scientifiques existantes, autour de l’adéquation format-lectorat d’une part et système de validation scientifique d’autre part. Selon les modèles, le format d’accès ouvert peut varier, mais l’enjeu global est plus au niveau de l’accès aux bases de données d’articles (comme données ouvertes), que sur l’évolution du fonctionnement des revues scientifiques.
Live Case Demonstrations are Essential for the Success of Pediatric Urology Meetings in India
Authors: Chandrasekharam VVS , Babu Ramesh , Srinivas S , Rao N Bhuvaneswar , Kumar A Narendra 
Published: November 2021

Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to survey the opinion of delegates attending national pediatric urology meeting regarding live case demonstrations (LCDs) to see whether these can be replaced with taped case demonstrations (TCDs) in future.

Methods:
A questionnaire-based survey was conducted at the end of the 3-day annual conference and live operative workshop in pediatric urology. Apart from general data such as age of the respondent and type of practice setting, four key questions on LCDs with yes/no responses included: would you have attended this meeting if there were no LCDs? Are unedited videos (TCDs) as effective as LCDs for teaching? Do you think LCDs should be continued? Would you allow your child to be operated in LCD by an expert? For question 3, the outcomes were compared between junior surgeons (<45-year-old) and senior surgeons (>45-year-old).

Results:
On analysis, 88/140 (62%) respondents (95% confidence interval [CI]: 54%–70%) said that they would not have attended the meeting if there were no LCDs; 70/139 (50%) respondents (95% CI: 42%–58%) felt that TCDs may be an effective alternative to LCDs; 129/144 (90%) respondents (95% CI: 83%–94%) felt that LCDs should be continued. For question 4, 101/129 (79%) said they would allow their child to be operated in LCD by an expert, while 28 (21%) did not agree for their child to be operated in LCD. There was no significant difference between junior and senior surgeons regarding support for LCDs (P = 0.15).

Conclusions:
In the Indian scenario, LCDs were favored as an essential part of pediatric urology meeting, attract more participation, and are likely to be important for the success of the meeting.
Laparoscopic Surgery in Pediatric Upper Tract Urolithiasis
Authors: Gupta Chhabi Ranu , Khan Niyaz Ahmed , Sengar Mamta , Mohta Anup 
Published: November 2021

Introduction:
Incidence of pediatric urolithiasis has increased over the last few decades. Procedures such as extracorporeal short wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, and ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy are not widely available for pediatric age group in many developing countries. It is desirable that advantages of minimally invasive surgery be offered to selected cases with urolithiasis.

Materials and Methods:
All patients with pediatric upper tract urolithiasis managed laparoscopically from January 2015 to April 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.

Results:
A total of 38 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 8 ± 2.85 years. Thirty-four patients (renal and upper ureteric) were managed through retroperitoneal approach, while those with lower ureteric calculi (n = 4) were approached transperitoneally. A total of eight patients required conversion to open technique. The stone clearance rate was 79% by laparoscopic approach alone. There were no procedure-related complications.

Conclusion:
Our study suggests that laparoscopic management for pediatric upper tract urolithiasis is a radiation-free, single-time curative treatment and is feasible in centers where facilities for other endoscopic procedures are unavailable.

Published: November 2021

Objective:
Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental lung disease. The aim of this study is to analyze the histomorphological spectrum of CPAM in a series of 15 cases.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective descriptive study of 15 cases of CPAM was carried out from 2013 to 2018 in our hospital, and cases were classified based on the Stocker's classification.

Results:
The age ranged from 4 days to 9 years (66.6% were infants). The left lung was most commonly involved (66.6%). The most common lobe was the left upper lobe (60%), followed by right lower lobe (20%). Grossly, cysts measured 0.2–5 cm, filled with mainly serous fluid with few having hemorrhagic and brownish mucoid secretions. On microscopy, single to multiple noncommunicating cysts of size 0.2–5 cm were seen, lined by ciliated columnar epithelium (60%), pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium (26.7%), mucin-secreting columnar epithelium (6.7%), and flattened epithelium (6.7%). Few cases showed smooth muscle (20%) and cartilage (13.3%) in the cyst wall. Chronic inflammation (73.3%) with dense histiocytic infiltrate (13.3%) was also seen. Emphysematous changes were also observed (13.3%). Cytomegalovirus inclusions (6.7%), zygomycete fungus (6.7%), and red hepatization (6.7%) were observed. The most common type was type II (60%), followed by type I (33.3%) and type IV (6.7%).

Conclusion:
Type II was the most common variant in this study. A careful observation should be done to look for fungal hyphae or viral inclusions.

Published: November 2021

The world has been shaken and normalcy has been stifled due to Covid-19 pandemic leading the affected people to adapt to, adopt new ways of life and reconstitute habit inviting activities other than those previously practiced. Reading habits of university students have been affected adversely by the unprecedented pandemic. While the students, during this period being distanced from the regular academic environment, have opted for alternative engagements, the time for reading and number of books covered have dwindled remarkably. This article examined the changed dynamics of both academic and nonacademic reading habits of the students at public and private universities in Bangladesh. Data were collected from 700 students through a questionnaire using Google form. The results show that reading habits have been adversely affected during this pandemic as 44.6% students read books only 1-2 hours whereas 57.4% of them spend 5-6 hours using electronic devices for multiple purposes mostly other than reading. This study recommends developing a strategy by the concerned authority starting from the state level to institutions to attract the learners and facilitate learning online with a rich and reliable reservatory of study materials with easy accessibility.
La adicción al juego. Referentes claves para los procesos de intervención psicossocial
Authors: Miguel Pilar Blanco , Alés Yolanda Borrego 
Published: November 2021

Introducción. ¿Es posible dejar de jugar? Esta es una pregunta que cada día se hacen muchas personas cuando su situación de juego les pone entre la espada y la pared, haciéndoles pensar si existe una salida real a su problema. En la actualidad, las posibilidades de tratamiento y prevención del juego patológico son claras y patentes, aunque debemos de tener en cuenta tres cuestiones básicas: la necesidad de hacer una correcta identificación del problema, una consideración profesional del caso y su remisión a los dispositivos especializados para su tratamiento. Objetivos. Identificar las situaciones en las que un adicto o adicta al juego es capaz de plantearse dejar de jugar y por tanto iniciar el proceso de rehabilitación. Conocer qué implicaciones tiene esa decisión a nivel individual y familiar y que vienen a determinar el proceso de rehabilitación. Metodología. Se ha optado por una perspectiva metodológica que se sirva de estrategias que permitan conocer el fenómeno de la adicción al juego de mano de los propios afectados. De entre las técnicas posibles, se ha optado por la Historia de Vida y la Entrevista en Profundidad. Resultados. De manera general hemos avistado que, tarde o temprano, el ludópata se ve obligado tener que confesar la adicción a su familia, ya que su situación de juego se hace insostenible. De igual modo, hemos podido ver que, afrontar el problema debe ir más allá del loable propósito de encararlo de forma individual, ya que esto no suele funcionar, y que es necesario, tanto la ayuda familiar, como la profesional para poder llevar a cabo el proceso de rehabilitación con una cierta garantía de poder superar la adicción. Conclusiones. Es fácil advertir que para dejar de jugar tienen que operarse un gran cambio en el pensamiento del ludópata, es decir, tomarse en serio el querer dejar de jugar y partir de ahí solicitar la colaboración de los profesionales (entre ellos el Trabajador Social); ayuda que debe ser complementada con el apoyo familiar, quedando ambos determinados como los principales factores a tener en cuanta en los procesos de recuperación.

Purpose: To determine the outcome of microscopic carpal tunnel release in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome who failed to respond to conservative treatment.
Methodology: This descriptive case series was carried at Department of Neurosurgery, D.H.Q Hosptial Charsadda over 1 year from Jan 2019 to Dec 2020, indicate the sampling method used to select the study participants involving 94 patients; both men and women with ages in the range 30-70 years diagnosed of carpal tunnel syndrome who failed to respond to conservative treatment and were planned for surgical release. Microscopic CTS release was performed and outcomes were assessed in terms of improvement in VAS score for wrist pain, symptom severity score and function status scale 3 and 6 months after the surgery. Recurrence of symptoms was also noted. A written informed consent was obtained from every patient. Indicate the method of data collection and data analysis
Findings: The mean age of the patients with carpal tunnel syndrome was 41.6±7.9 years. There was slight female predominance with male to female ratio of 1:2.1. History of diabetes was recorded in 29 (31.0%) patients while 34 (37.0%) patients were obese. Right hand was more frequently involved (53.0%) than the left hand (47.0%). The mean VAS score for wrist pain reduced from 7.9±1.2 at baseline to 1.8±0.7 3 months after the surgery (p- value<0.001). Similar improvements were also noted in symptom severity score (3.8±0.8 to 1.6±0.8; p- value<0.001) and function status scale (2.7±0.8 to 1.5±0.8; p-value<0.001) at the end of 3 months after the surgery. Recurrence was not observed in any patient at the end of 6 months follow-up.
Recommendation: Microscopic carpal tunnel release was found to relieve patient’s symptoms and improve wrist function yet with minimal scarring and without recurrence which advocates its preferred use in future practice provided necessary surgical skills and hardware are available.
Entre conflitos e harmonias: o assistencialismo empresarial na América Latina
Authors: Andújar Andrea Norma , Palermo Silvana A. 
Published: November 2021

Este dossiê aborda o assistencialismo empresarial na Argentina, no Chile e no Brasil. Seu objetivo é reconsiderar sua complexidade e relevância, com base em investigações cuja riqueza empírica estimula o debate sobre as categorias com as quais este tema foi conceitualizado: paternalismo, "company welfare", assistencialismo empresarial, entre outros. Trata-se, portanto, de reconstruir alguns dos capítulos da complexa relação entre capital e trabalho nestas nações, em que conflitos e harmonias convergem em espaços de trabalho heterogêneos e diversos atores sociais. O dossiê reúne artigos que, mesmo sem ter deliberadamente visões comparativas, estimulam diálogos entre experiências de diferentes casos nacionais, em diversos ramos produtivos e segmentos de trabalhadores durante o século XX. Reafirma a necessidade de historicizar a vocação empresarial assistencialista através de ensaios, múltiplas iniciativas e processos contingentes, ponderar seu alcance e limites, e reconsiderar a agência histórica, tanto de empresários quanto de trabalhadores. O dossiê está organizado de acordo com um critério temático – sensível às comparações por tipo de atividade – e ao mesmo tempo cronológico - atento às variações do assistencialismo empresarial em um mundo transformado, mas tão turbulento quanto incerto.
Johann Wier
Authors: Valente Michaela 
Published: November 2021

This book deals with a fascinating and original claim in 16th-century Europe. Witches should be cured, not executed. It was the physician and scholar Johann Wier (1515-1588) who challenged the dominant idea. For his defense of witches, more than three centuries later, Sigmund Freud chose to put Wier’s work among the ten books to be read. According to Wier, Satan seduced witches, thus they did not deserve to be executed, but they must be cured for their melancholy. When the witch hunt was rising, Wier was the first to use some of the arguments adopted in the emerging debate on religious tolerance in defence of witches.
This is the first overall study of Wier which offers an innovative view of his thought, by highlighting Wier’s sources and his attempts to involve theologians, physicians, and philosophers in his fight against cruel witch hunts. Johann Wier: Debating the Devil and Witches situates and explains his claim as a result of a moral and religious path as well as the outcome of his medical experience. The book aims to provide an insightful examination of Wier’s works to read his pleas emphasizing the duty of every good Christian to not abandon anyone who strays from the flock of Christ. For these reasons, Wier was overwhelmed by bitter confutations, such as those of Jean Bodin, but he was also celebrated for his outstanding and prolific heritage for debating religious tolerance.
Case Series of Pancytopenia Secondary to Pernicious Anemia
Authors: Jian Low Qin , Weng Eric Hong Qiu , Wee Cheo Seng 
Published: November 2021

Pernicious anaemia is an autoimmune disorder where vitamin B12 deficiency is caused by autoantibodies that interfere with vitamin B12 absorption by targeting intrinsic factor or parietal cells or both. It is commonly associated with anaemia, rarely pancytopenia. Here we reported two cases of pancytopenia due to undiagnosed pernicious anaemia. The first case was a 26-year-old man presented with lethargy and reduced effort tolerance, associated with postural giddiness and palpitation. Clinically, he was pale with no other findings. On blood investigations, the patient has diagnosed pancytopenia secondary to pernicious anaemia.He was treated with daily subcutaneous injection of vitamin B12 cyanocobalamin 1 mg for one week followed by weekly injection for a month and subsequently with lifelong monthly subcutaneous injection. After receiving 2 weeks of B12 replacement, his full blood count had normalized and his symptoms resolved. The second case was a 65-year-old man presented with yellowish discolouration of the eyes with lethargy. On examination, he was pale with jaundice. On blood investigations, the patient has diagnosed pancytopenia secondary to pernicious anaemia. He was started with an intramuscular injection of 1000 mcg vitamin B12 replacement daily for one week followed by monthly for 6 months. After one week of B12 replacement, his full blood count had normalized. He was started on lifelong 3 monthly injections of vitamin B12 replacement and he remained symptom-free. Patients with pernicious anaemia often present with general signs and symptoms which occurinsidiously. It is important that early diagnosis is made to avoid harmful complications such as neuropsychiatric disorders.
Detection of Four Mismatched Nucleotides between DENV4 Specific C-prM Primer (rTS4) and Current DENV 4 Sequences in Sabah

Published: November 2021

Dear Sir/ Madam,
Dengue is the mosquito borne viral disease caused by dengue virus serotype 1 to 4 (DENV 1 to 4).
Dengue outbreaks are common in both east and west Malaysia. Between July 2016 and December 2017, 200 serum samples positive for dengue by rapid test were collected from patients in Sandakan and Kudat of Sabah state during dengue outbreaks. Serotypes of the dengue viruses were determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by nested PCR. We used C-prM primers designed by Lanciotti et al1 and later redesigned by Chien et al2. We detected all the four dengue serotypes with PCR products with specific sizes in gel electrophoresis. However, in four samples, no serotype-specific band was amplified by the nested PCR, while they were dengue-positive in RT-PCR showing 511 bp amplicon. We first presumed that these DENV might belong to a new DENV serotype, accordingly nucleotide sequences of the 511 bp amplicons of the four samples were determined. As a result, all the four samples (K35, K81, S23 and K75) (K and S stands for Kudat and Sandakan respectively) were found to belong to DENV4. We aligned the sequences of these samples with that of DENV 4 reverse primer (rTS4) (Fig.1).
The DENV4 specific primer rTS4 was found to have four mismatched nucleotides to the current DENV4 sequences. Therefore, for the local DENV4 in Sabah, we recommend a modified rTS4 reverse primer TTCTCCTATTCAAGATGTTT (or CTTCTCCTATTCAAGATGTTTAAC) (red nucleotides are modified ones) to be included in the dengue C-prM primers in future research.
