ÉCHANGES TRANSCULTURELS CHEZ MONIQUE PROULX ET INÊS PEDROSA
Authors: De Souza Licia Soares 
Published: March 2021

Cette étude examine comment deux écrivaines, l’une du Québec, l’autre du Portugal/Brésil, collaborent à la féminisation de la littérature contemporaine par le prisme de leurs réflexions sur certains déplacements historico-symboliques, tout en mettant en lumière le formidable réseau de savoirs qui circulent dans ces espaces du continent américain depuis la colonisation. La première écrivaine que nous présentons est Monique Proulx, auteure de Ce qu/il reste de moi (2015). La deuxième est Inês Pedrosa, d’origine portugaise, journaliste et auteure de plusieurs récits pour enfants, qui a milité contre la criminalisation de l’avortement et pour le mariage de personnes du même sexe. En 2008, elle a publié le roman A Eternidade e o Desejo (L’Éternité et le Désir) qui se déroule dans la ville de Salvador, première capitale du Brésil, qu’elle avait visitée quelques années auparavant. Proulx et Pedrosa abordent un imaginaire de mouvance, tout en mettant en évidence une multiplicité de trajectoires qui fonctionnent comme des connexions contradictoires et des croisements de narratives formant des espaces toujours en conflit. Elles font ressortir, de la sorte, les ambivalences des écritures des mouvements migrants qui ont marqué les métissages issus des rencontres différenciées sur les territoires des Amériques. Proulx évoque les textes de La Folle Entreprise, de Jeanne Mance comme texte fondateur qui prône pour la convivialité des cultures différenciés dans le Nouveau Monde, et Pedrosa utilise les textes du Père Vieira pour montrer des enseignements de savoir-vivre entre les autochtones et les colons dans la Nouvelle Lusitanie. Elles montrent comment la fiction fait jouer les figures renouvelées de certaines utopies du Nouveau Monde dans les textes littéraires, textes qui témoignent d’une puissante facture féminine pour porter un regard neuf sur l’histoire.

Published: March 2021

The internship period provides the first level of postgraduate medical training and serves as one of the fundamental strides in every doctor’s career. An inadequate internship program in terms of duration, skills and quality may pose serious concerns on the overall healthcare sector. Hence, the aim of this study was to explore the adequacy of the duration of internship program in medical colleges of Bangladesh. Till date, any significant study has not been reported to address the issue. A cross-sectional descriptive study with pre-tested self-administered questionnaires was performed. The study was carried out in 8 medical colleges (4 public and 4 non-government; 4 inside Dhaka and 4 outside). 300 completed questionnaires (250 interns, 50 supervisors) were statistically analyzed with SPSSv20 software. Majority of the interns and teachers voiced that the current duration of One-year Internship Program was inadequate and they further suggested that the duration can be revised to at least a year and half. Further opinions were put forward to modify the community placement duration period from two weeks to at least three weeks as the current duration was also deficient. These findings thus can help the policy makers, medical practitioners and academicians to review the current structure and duration of the internship program in medical colleges of Bangladesh for the betterment of the undergraduate medical education as well as the overall healthcare system.

Published: March 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 which has crowded out services for both covid and non-covid patients, in a country where the health care system was already under huge stress even before the pandemic.
Objectives: To postpone non-urgent surgeries along with active surveillance of thyroid cancer patients to make sure the hospitals are not unnecessarily occupied. Methods: Document based categorization of thyroid cancer patients, like- low risk, high risk and clinically extremely vulnerable groups who are at greatest risk of severe illness from coronavirus are to be done accordingly. Individuals with thyroid cancer are mostly not susceptible to COVID- 19. However, patients with thyroid cancer (papillary or medullary) having lung metastases or undergoing certain types of cancer treatment might be at increased risk of viral infection or complications. Risk benefit ratio is checked and explained to the patient and their attendants.
Recommendations: As COVID-19 is spreading across the Bangladesh, hospitals are being forced to reallocate resources to the care of critically ill. So it is crucial to adhere to the advice from experts to reduce the risk of infection. All non-essential surgeries and hospital admissions can be postponed to make sure that hospitals are not unnecessarily occupied.
Conclusion: In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer care has had to adapt rapidly given recommendations to postpone nonurgent surgeries with active surveillance of thyroid cancer patients except thyroid tumors requiring acute airway management.

Authors: Khan Nahid Ahmed , Nahid Nuzaira , Choudhury Melia , Islam Khaleda , Mehzabin Shafinaz 
Published: March 2021

Pre – Eclampsia is a disorder of 2nd half of pregnancy, which is characterized by a combination of hypertension, proteinuria and edema, secondary to decreased placental perfusion. Clinical studies suggest that there are morphological changes in the placenta of pre-eclamptic women, compared to normotensive pregnant women. In developing countries, pre-eclampsia causes an estimated 50,000 maternal deaths per year. Only a small number of studies have however, been conducted in Bangladesh.
Objective: To compare the morphology of placenta in selected pre-eclamptic and normotensive pregnant women.
Methods: 220 pregnant women were selected with inclusion and exclusion criteria from 3 different medical colleges and divided into 2 groups – A study group, consisting of 110 pre-eclamptic women and a control group consisting of 110 normotensive pregnant women. Dietary information was collected by 7 days food frequency questionnaire and food score was determined. Anthropometric and biochemical tests were performed. To measure the weight of the placentas, the decidual part of the placentas were removed. The umbilical cords were then cut, nearest to the placenta, to drain the blood from the placental vessels, and the weight was recorded upto nearest gram with weighing machine. The diameters of placentas were measured by taking the average of two maximum diameters of placentas with measuring tape (cm).The cotyledons were counted from maternal side after removal of deciduas basalis. Number of placental infarcts were counted from fetal side.
Results: The mean weights, diameters, number of cotyledons were found to be significantly lower in the study group, compared to the control group. The number of infarcted areas was significantly higher in the placentas of pre-eclamptic women
Conclusion: Therefore, weight, diameter and number of cotyledons are decreased and number of infarcted areas are increased in the placenta of pre-eclamptic women, compared to normotensive pregnant women.
