Mythologies barthésiennes: différents stéréotypes et imagotypes
Authors: Simões Maria João 
Published: December 2021

Roland Barthes, dans son œuvre Mythologies, interprète les signes de la société de son temps, surchargée de discours et d’images dont il faut comprendre la signification. Par ce biais, R. Barthes scrute les stéréotypes et les types sociaux. L’étude des stéréotypes se révèle importante pour comprendre la catégorisation stéréotypique étudiée par la Psychologie Sociale et l’Imagologie pour étudier la complexité des représentations littéraires. Cette étude vise à percevoir, dans un premier temps, certains aspects des représentations et des catégorisations culturelles ; dans un deuxième temps, nous noterons la reprise de la théorisation barthésienne par Stuart Hall dans ses réflexions sur les représentations culturelles et leur potentiel symbolique, essentiel au partage culturel. Dans un troisième temps nous examinerons comment la pratique interprétative, déclenchée dans Mythologies, se répercute sur les études imagologiques, en particulier, sur les auto-images nationales (imagèmes) véhiculée dans l’œuvre Nacional e Transmissível d´Eduardo Prado Coelho.
Entradas, disponibilidades luminosas: o luto como trabalho em Roland Barthes
Authors: Costa Cristiano Bedin da , Oliveira Marcos da Rocha 
Published: December 2021

O trabalho do texto consiste em afirmar a potência do isolamento barthesiano hoje. O luto, afeto vivo e presente, será o princípio que unifica a docência, a escrita e a vida: no último Roland Barthes, em nós. Aulas, datas, imagens e um arquivo de leituras translúcidas lancinadas por feixes de luz a demandarem uma atualização das formas em um corpo que escreve. Não há nada a superar, visto que a dor é ocasião. Escrevemos a fantasia de tal solidão tendo o texto barthesiano, a docência que praticamos e, como oximoro, o nosso viver-junto enquanto potencial ativo de uma Vita Nova. Assim, dispomos quatro precisões: o luto se manifesta pelo e no trabalho, como a marca a animar a produção presente; atualizado em uma aula, o luto harmoniza o afeto da perda e a criação didática: não poder desenvolver, não poder sustentar, não poder impor; o luto só pode ser experimentado de modo instantâneo: surpreende como experiência inaugural e, portanto, potencialmente mutativa (o insustentável como condição); e o luto permite apenas sua vivência (traduzida, inocentemente, em prática), jamais seu domínio. Lecionar, escrever, pesquisar, viver como se um Amador. Disponibilidades luminosas à beira-fôlego: entrar vivo na morte. É disso que se trata.

Published: December 2021

Background
Unlike T‐wave alternans (TWA), the relation between QRS alternans (QRSA) and ventricular arrhythmia (VA) risk has not been evaluated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We assessed microvolt QRSA/TWA in relation to HCM risk factors and late VA outcomes in HCM.

Methods and Results

Prospectively enrolled patients with HCM (n=130) with prophylactic implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators underwent digital 12‐lead ECG recordings during ventricular pacing (100–120 beats/min). QRSA/TWA was quantified using the spectral method. Patients were categorized as QRSA+ and/or TWA+ if sustained alternans was present in ≥2 precordial leads. The VA end point was appropriate implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator therapy over 5 years of follow‐up. QRSA+ and TWA+ occurred together in 28% of patients and alone in 7% and 7% of patients, respectively. QRSA magnitude increased with pacing rate (1.9±0.6 versus 6.2±2.0 µV;
P
=0.006). Left ventricular thickness was greater in QRSA+ than in QRSA− patients (22±7 versus 20±6 mm;
P
=0.035). Over 5 years follow‐up, 17% of patients had VA. The annual VA rate was greater in QRSA+ versus QRSA− patients (5.8% versus 2.0%;
P
=0.006), with the QRSA+/TWA− subgroup having the greatest rate (13.3% versus 2.6%;
P
<0.001). In those with <2 risk factors, QRSA− patients had a low annual VA rate compared QRSA+ patients (0.58% versus 7.1%;
P
=0.001). Separate Cox models revealed QRSA+ (hazard ratio [HR], 2.9 [95% CI, 1.2–7.0];
P
=0.019) and QRSA+/TWA− (HR, 7.9 [95% CI, 2.9–21.7];
P
<0.001) as the most significant VA predictors. TWA and HCM risk factors did not predict VA.

Conclusions
In HCM, microvolt QRSA is a novel, rate‐dependent phenomenon that can exist without TWA and is associated with greater left ventricular thickness. QRSA increases VA risk 3‐fold in all patients, whereas the absence of QRSA confers low VA risk in patients with <2 risk factors.

Increased Interannual Variability in the Dipole Mode of Extreme High-Temperature Events over East China during Summer after the Early 1990s and Associated Mechanisms
Authors: Zhu Baoyan , Sun Bo , Wang Huijun 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The dominant mode of the interannual variability in the frequency of extreme high-temperature events (FEHE) during summer over eastern China showed a dipole mode with reversed anomalies of FEHE over northeastern and southern China. This study found that the interannual variability of this dipole mode underwent an interdecadal increase after the early 1990s. The anomalous atmospheric circulation responsible for the FEHE dipole mode was associated with the air–sea interaction over the western tropical Pacific and North Atlantic. Due to the weakened correlation between the SST in the tropical Pacific and in the Indian Ocean after the early 1990s, a meridional atmospheric wave train induced by the anomalous SST around the Maritime Continent (MCSST) was intensified during 1994–2013, which was also contributed by the increased interannual variability of MCSST. However, under the influence of the anomalous SST in the Indian Ocean concurrent with the anomalous MCSST, the meridional wave train was weakened and contributed less to the dipole mode during 1972–93. In addition, the dipole mode was associated with the atmospheric wave trains at middle to high latitudes, which were different during the two periods and related to different air–sea interaction in the North Atlantic. The interannual variability of the dipole mode induced by the associated SST anomalies in the North Atlantic during 1994–2013 was significantly larger than that during 1972–93. Therefore, the interannual variability of the dipole mode was increased after the early 1990s.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The error characterization of rainfall products of spaceborne radar is essential for better applications of radar data, such as multisource precipitation data fusion and hydrological modeling. In this study, we analyzed the error of the near-surface rainfall product of the dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) on the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM) and modeled it based on ground C-band dual-polarization radar (CDP) data with optimization rainfall retrieval. The comparison results show that the near-surface rainfall data were overestimated by light rain and slightly underestimated by heavy rain. The error of near-surface rainfall of the DPR was modeled as an additive model according to the comparison results. The systematic error of near-surface rainfall was in the form of a quadratic polynomial, while the systematic error of stratiform precipitation was smaller than that of convective precipitation. The random error was modeled as a Gaussian distribution centered from −1 to 0 mm h−1. The standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution of convective precipitation was 1.71 mm h−1, and the standard deviation of stratiform precipitation was 1.18 mm h−1, which is smaller than that of convective precipitation. In view of the precipitation retrieval algorithm of DPR, the error causes were analyzed from the reflectivity factor (Z) and the drop size distribution (DSD) parameters (Dm, Nw). The high accuracy of the reflectivity factor measurement results in a small systematic error. Importantly, the negative bias of Nw was very obvious when the rain type was convective precipitation, resulting in a large random error.

Significance Statement
This study first compares the total and different rain types of near-surface rainfall measured by DPR and ground-based radar CDP, then separates the error of DPR near-surface rainfall into systematic and random errors and analyzes the possible causes of the error. The purpose of this study is to better apply the error model to applications such as optimal data fusion and hydrological modeling, and the analysis of the error can also provide a basis for improving the spaceborne precipitation retrieval algorithm.

Published: December 2021

Objective: The risk of invasive fungal rhinosinusitis is increased in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of its direct impact in altering innate immunity and is further exacerbated by widespread use of steroids/antibiotics/monoclonal antibodies. The study aims to describe this recently increased clinical entity in association with COVID-19. Method: A prospective, longitudinal study including patients diagnosed with acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFRS) who recently recovered from COVID-19 infection or after an asymptomatic carrier state. A single-center, descriptive study investigating demographic details, clinical presentation, radio-pathological aspects, and advocated management. Result: A total of 21 patients were included with a mean age of 49.62 years (SD: 14.24). Diabetes mellitus (DM) was the most common underlying disorder (90.48%), and 63.16% of all patients with DM had a recent onset DM, either diagnosed during or after COVID-19 infection. Nineteen patients (90.48%) had recently recovered from active COVID-19 infection, and all had a history of prior steroid treatment (oral/parenteral). Remaining 2 patients were asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers. Surprisingly, 2 patients had no underlying disorder, and 5 (23.81%) recently received the Covishield vaccine. Fungal analysis exhibited Mucor (95.24%) and Aspergillus species (14.29%). Most common sign/symptom was headache and facial/periorbital pain (85.71%), followed by facial/periorbital swelling (61.90%). Disease involvement: sinonasal (100%), orbital (47.62%), pterygopalatine fossa (28.58%), infratemporal fossa (14.29%), intracranial (23.81%), and skin (9.52%). Exclusive endoscopic debridement and combined approach were utilized in 61.90% and 38.10%, respectively. Both liposomal amphotericin B and posaconazole were given in all patients except one. Conclusion: A high suspicion of AIFRS should be kept in patients with recent COVID-19 infection who received steroids and presenting with headache, facial pain, and/or facial swelling. Asymptomatic COVID-19 carriers and COVID-19 vaccinated candidates are also observed to develop AIFRS, although the exact immuno-pathogenesis is still unknown. Prompt diagnosis and early management are vital for a favorable outcome.

Authors: Juhrmann Madeleine L , Vandersman Priyanka , Butow Phyllis N , Clayton Josephine M 
Published: December 2021

Background: There is a growing demand for community palliative care and home-based deaths worldwide. However, gaps remain in this service provision, particularly after-hours. Paramedicine may help to bridge that gap and avoid unwanted hospital admissions, but a systematic overview of paramedics’ potential role in palliative and end-of-life care is lacking. Aim: To review and synthesise the empirical evidence regarding paramedics delivering palliative and end-of-life care in community-based settings. Design: A systematic integrative review with a thematic synthesis was undertaken in accordance with Whittemore and Knafl’s methodology. Prospero: CRD4202119851. Data sources: MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Scopus databases were searched in August 2020 for primary research articles published in English, with no date limits applied. Articles were screened and reviewed independently by two researchers, and quality appraisal was conducted following the Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool (2018). Results: The search retrieved 5985 articles; 23 articles satisfied eligibility criteria, consisting of mixed-methods ( n = 5), qualitative ( n = 7), quantitative descriptive ( n = 8) and quantitative non-randomised studies ( n = 3). Through data analysis, three key themes were identified: (1) Broadening the traditional role, (2) Understanding patient wishes and (3) Supporting families. Conclusions: Paramedics are a highly skilled workforce capable of helping to deliver palliative and end-of-life care to people in their homes and reducing avoidable hospital admissions, particularly for palliative emergencies. Future research should focus on investigating the efficacy of palliative care clinical practice guideline implementation for paramedics, understanding other healthcare professionals’ perspectives, and undertaking health economic evaluations of targeted interventions.

Published: December 2021

Background Early diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) is an important clinical challenge. Purpose To summarize the latest diagnostic performance of different ultrasonic (US) features for BA. Material and Methods MeSH terms “biliary atresia” and “ultrasonography” and related hyponyms were used to search PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Eligible articles were included and data were retrieved. The methodologic quality was assessed by version 2 of the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. Estimated sensitivity and specificity of each US feature were calculated by Stata 14.0. Results Fifty eligible studies on 5622 patients were included. Respective summary sensitivity and specificity were 77% (95% CI=69–84) and 98% (95% CI=96–99) for triangular cord sign (TCS) in 32 studies, 86% (95% CI=78–92) and 86% (95% CI=72–94) for shear wave elastography (SWE) in seven studies, 75% (95% CI=65–83) and 92% (95% CI=86–95) for gallbladder and biliary system abnormality (GBA) in 25 studies, and 81% (95% CI=69–90) and 79% (95% CI=67–87) for hepatic artery (HA) enlargement in seven studies. The overall US features from 11 studies yielded a summary sensitivity of 84% (95% CI=72–92) and specificity of 86% (95% CI=77–92). Conclusion TCS and GBA were the two most widely accepted US features currently used for differential diagnosis of BA. The newly developed SWE was an objective and convenient method with good diagnostic performance. HA enlargement can be used as an auxiliary sign.

Published: December 2021

Objective Smoking is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and a known factor influencing the severity and pattern of CAD. We summarized evidence regarding the effect of smoking on the number of occluded coronary arteries and the severity and pattern of CAD. Methods We extracted data from observational studies reporting the pattern and severity of CAD in smokers. The quality of studies was assessed using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist, and results are reported in the Garrard table. The review process followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Results We screened 11 studies including 6037 samples. Six studies reported no relationship between smoking and the number of damaged arteries. One study reported that smoking was related to occlusion in the left anterior descending artery, but there was no relationship between smoking and the location of occlusion in the arteries. Smoking was related to CAD severity in five studies. Conclusions Smoking was found to be related to CAD severity and location of the damaged artery in the heart. However, there was no significant association of smoking with the number of damaged arteries and location of arterial occlusion.

Published: December 2021

Objective The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) is a clinically beneficial instrument that has been proven to be correlated with various experimental pain sensitivity assessments in healthy people and in patients with chronic pain. In this study, we aimed to translate the PSQ into Turkish (PSQ-T) and validate it for the measurement of pain sensitivity among Turkish people. Methods Seventy-three patients with chronic back pain who were planning to undergo an interventional procedure completed the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and PSQ prior to their procedure. Subcutaneous infiltration of lidocaine was used as a standardized experimental pain stimulus. Pain was evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS 1: infiltration in the hand, and VAS 2: infiltration in the procedure area) Results Scores on the PSQ-T were significantly correlated with those on the BPI-SF. A significant positive relationship was observed between VAS 1 and VAS 2 values and the PSQ-T score, BPI pain score, and BPI interference score. Conclusions The PSQ-T can be used as a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of pain sensitivity in the Turkish population.
Joint Line Obliquity Does Not Affect the Outcomes of Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy at an Average 10-Year Follow-up

Published: December 2021

Background: A significant number of high tibial osteotomies (HTOs) result in an overcorrected tibia and subsequent excessive lateral joint line obliquity (JLO). The correlation between excessive JLO and poor outcomes is controversial. Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic factors (including a pathological postoperative JLO) related with the outcomes of opening wedge HTO at 10 years of follow-up. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: All patients undergoing HTO between 2004 and 2017 for medial osteoarthritis and with a postoperative hip-knee-ankle angle between 176° and 185° were included. Clinical evaluation included Knee Society Score (KSS; knee score and function score), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and visual analog scale for pain. Several mechanical and anatomic angles were measured pre- and postoperatively on long-leg weightbearing radiographs. Abnormal JLO was defined as a Mikulicz–joint line angle (MJL) ≥94° or a mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA) ≥95°. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between independent variables and each outcome. A Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival analysis was performed. Results: A total of 92 knees in 76 patients were included. The mean age of the patients was 53.5 years (SD, 9.7 years), and the mean follow-up was 129.4 months (SD, 44.4 months). Increased JLO was associated with a significant preoperative varus deformity (small preoperative hip-knee-ankle angle), increased mechanical lateral distal femoral angle, increased joint line congruency angle, and increased knee-ankle joint angle. Male sex was associated with better WOMAC scores ( P = .0277), and increased body mass index (BMI) was associated with inferior WOMAC scores ( P = .0024). A good preoperative range of motion was associated with better knee score ( P = .0399) and function score ( P = .0366) on the KSS. An increased BMI was associated with inferior KSS function scores ( P = .0317). MJL ≥94° and mMPTA ≥95° were not associated with inferior WOMAC or KSS outcomes. With indication to total knee arthroplasty as an endpoint, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a survival rate of 98.7% at 5 years, 95.5% at 10 years, and 92.7% at 12 years. Conclusion: Increased lateral JLO (MJL ≥94° or mMPTA ≥95°) was not correlated with the clinical outcomes of opening wedge HTO at 10 years of follow-up.

Published: December 2021

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue and violation of human rights. The prevalence of IPV in South Asia is especially pronounced. We examined the associations between socioeconomic position (SEP), geographical factors and IPV in Sri Lanka using nationally representative data. Data collected from Sri Lanka’s 2016 Demographic and Health Survey were analysed using multilevel logistic regression techniques. A total of 16,390 eligible ever-partnered women aged 15-49 years were included in the analysis. Analyses were also stratified by ethnicity, type of violence, neighbourhood poverty and post-conflict residential status for selected variables. No schooling/primary educational attainment among women (OR 2.46 95% CI 1.83-3.30) and their partners (OR 2.87 95% CI 2.06-4.00), financial insecurity (OR 2.17 95% CI 1.92-2.45) and poor household wealth (OR 2.64 95% CI 2.22-3.13) were the socioeconomic factors that showed the strongest association with any IPV, after adjusting for age and religion. These associations predominately related to physical and/or sexual violence, with weak associations for psychological violence. Women living in a post-conflict environment had a higher risk (OR 2.96 95% CI 2.51-3.49) of IPV compared to other areas. Ethnic minority women (Tamil and Moor) were more likely to reside in post-conflict areas and experience poverty more acutely compared to the majority Sinhala women, which may explain the stronger associations for low SEP, post-conflict residence and IPV found among Tamil and Moor women. Policies and programs to alleviate poverty, as well as community mobilisation and school-based education programs addressing harmful gender norms may be beneficial. Trauma informed approaches are needed in post-conflict settings. Further exploratory studies investigating the complex interplay of individual, household and contextual factors occurring in this setting is required.
