Authors: Mokrani Sylia , Langlet Marie-France , Lavoie Carole , Mercier Audrey-Maude , Olivier Isabelle , Simard Isabelle 
Published: November 2024

La Semaine nationale de la sécurité des patients qui s’est déroulée du 29 octobre au 2 novembre 2018 a été l’occasion de diffuser les bonnes pratiques et les innovations organisationnelles auprès des usagers et des professionnels de santé à travers les initiatives des acteurs. Lors de cette campagne de sensibilisation annuelle, quatre établissements faisant partie de la communauté de pratiques sur l’expérience et le partenariat avec les usagers et leurs proches : le centre hospitalier universitaire de Montréal (CHUM), le centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte Justine (CHUSJ), le centre intégré de santé et services sociaux de Laval (CISSS de Laval) et l’institut universitaire de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec - Université Laval (Institut) ont fait le choix de consacrer au moins une journée aux rôles du patient et de sa famille dans la sécurité des soins. Ainsi, grâce à la créativité des équipes organisatrices de chaque établissement, des activités innovantes ont été proposées. Animées ou co-animées par des usagers ressources, elles ont permis aux établissements de relever un double défi : sensibiliser les usagers et les professionnels à la sécurité des médicaments et promouvoir le partenariat avec les usagers et les proches.
Un documento in cerca d’autore
Authors: Internullo Dario 
Published: November 2024

Il lavoro ha come principale obiettivo quello di rileggere e ricontestualizzare P.Ital. 3, un documento di papiro particolarmente discusso nella storiografia sull’economia fondiaria a cavallo tra tarda antichità e alto medioevo, dato che attesterebbe già nel VI secolo sistemi curtensi nella campagna di Padova. Una nuova interpretazione complessiva del pezzo, basata su un’analisi papirologica, topografica e storico-patrimoniale, riesce così a rischiarare alcuni punti problematici che esso ha finora comportato nel dibattito storiografico.
Un public captif ? Propositions pour une approche socioculturelle des possesseurs de volgarizzamenti (XIIIe-XIVe siècle)
Authors: Mabboux Carole 
Published: November 2024

Cet article propose une approche culturelle et sociale des possesseurs de volgarizzamenti en Italie avant les années 1410. À partir, d’une part, d’inventaires de bibliothèques médiévales (édités ou inédits) et, d’autre part, de marques de possession présentes sur les manuscrits, il tente un premier recensement des individus ayant acquis ou conservé des traductions vernaculaires de textes classiques et médiévaux latins. En isolant, dans ce relevé, les collections plurilingues mêlant œuvres latines et œuvres vernaculaires, l’enjeu est de questionner les usages du volgarizzamento, traditionnellement considéré comme un médium répondant à une nécessité linguistique de la part d’un public illitteratus.
La parole politique dans les campagnes médiévales
Authors: Huertas Emmanuel 
Published: November 2024

Le but de cet article est de retrouver la parole politique dans les campagnes médiévales en nous intéressant à une typologie documentaire bien particulière : les chartes de franchise. L’entreprise peut sembler paradoxale, car cette source juridique qui enregistre des décisions ponctuelles ou des normes coutumières n’a pas été élaborée pour rendre compte des discussions politiques. Un dossier documentaire original autour de l’élaboration d’une charte de franchise en 1240 dans l’Amiata (Toscane) a permis de retrouver les étapes de la négociation orale qui a eu lieu entre l’abbé de San Salvatore et la communauté paysanne de Montepinzutolo. Grâce à la reconstitution de cette oralité politique, il est alors possible de proposer de nouvelles pistes d’analyse diplomatique des chartes de franchise et de tenter une comparaison avec les modèles urbains de transcription de la parole politique qui apparaissent à la même époque en Italie.
Protomagistri al servizio di Carlo II d’Angiò: le figure di Pierre d’Angicourt e Francesco di Vico
Authors: Carannante Arianna 
Published: November 2024

Nell’ambito della lettura critica delle fabbriche di committenza angioina nel Regno di Napoli rimane tutt’oggi oggetto di indagine la questione del ruolo dei protomagistri citati dai Registri Angioini. Alcuni di questi, ben noti alla storiografia, sono stati definiti dagli studiosi della fine del XIX secolo con l’appellativo di architetti. Si cercherà di delineare la figura di due di questi, Pierre D’Angicourt e Francesco di Vico, attraverso la lettura delle fonti e l’analisi autoptica di alcuni edifici in cui i due protomagistri sembrerebbero esser stati coinvolti. Pierre D’Angicourt, di origine transalpina, appartiene alla prima generazione di maestranze attive nel Regno ed è noto alla critica principalmente per il suo legame con l’architettura militare della costa adriatica. Francesco di Vico, di origine locale, è attivo a partire dal XIV secolo e rappresenta, quindi, la seconda generazione di maestranze attive nel Regno: figura poco nota alla critica, eppure non di marginale interesse. L’acquisizione di nuovi dati relativi alla circolazione delle maestranze e al loro ruolo negli esiti formali e stilistici degli edifici ecclesiastici, costruiti nel regno di Carlo II d’Angiò (1285-1309), ha permesso un ampliamento delle conoscenze relative all’architettura ecclesiastica prodotta a cavallo tra i due secoli. Il lavoro si pone come un punto di partenza per l’approfondimento su temi quali la struttura dei cantieri angioini e la figura dell’ideatore formale delle fabbriche di committenza angioina.
Women, technology and rationalization
Authors: Brayet Aurélie , Rojas Luc 
Published: November 2024

Publié en 1928 par Paulette Bernège, De la méthode ménagère représente l’aboutissement du travail d’un groupe de femmes qui a créé une nouvelle science appliquée en France, pendant l'entre-deux-guerres. Inspirées par la rationalisation technique aux États-Unis, ces femmes théorisent un tout nouveau sujet : la science domestique. Elles militent activement pour la rationalisation et l'édification des activités ménagères en tant que science. Au-delà de cette construction, il convient de s'interroger sur le rôle des femmes dans la diffusion de la rationalisation technique durant l'entre-deux-guerres. Comment parviennent-elles à légitimer cette science ? Comment l’ont-elles édifié et sur quelles théories se sont-elles appuyées ? Eriger ce champ de connaissances en science et le revendiquer aux yeux de tous n’est pas chose évidente. Ainsi, cette recherche offre une fenêtre sur leur travail, en soulignant les difficultés, les succès et les théories, de et sur ces femmes, qui par leurs actions donnent accès à toutes les femmes à la technique.
«Hombres sin Dios ni razón»: El bandolerismo valenciano durante los reinados de Felipe IV y Carlos II según los dietarios de la época
Authors: Llinares Planells Alejandro 
Published: November 2024

Los bandoleros y las facciones dominaron el Reino de València en el siglo xvii, generando una violencia estructural que se manifestaba de manera prácticamente cotidiana en la sociedad valenciana del Barroco . En este trabajo analizamos este fenómeno a través de los diarios personales que se elaboraron durante los reinados de Felipe IV y, sobre todo, de Carlos II, coincidiendo con un momento de auge de este crimen organizado. De esta manera, estudiaremos qué elementos les interesaron más a los escritores, qué bandidos aparecen con mayor frecuencia, cómo vivió la sociedad de la época este fenómeno, cómo se representaron las ejecuciones públicas o qué opinión tenían los dietaristas sobre el bandidaje.
Las cosas que no son
Authors: Chamouleau Brice 
Published: November 2024

Cet article discute le projet d’une histoire des cultures matérielles sous la dictature franquiste. Cette histoire des choses s’inscrit dans un tournant affectif et émotionnel marqué qui rend mal compte d’un rapport historique aux « choses » sous la dictature et que cet article prétend restituer. En redonnant à la pensée du philosophe Xavier Zubiri sa centralité dans les savoirs catholiques produits sous la dictature, les choses n’y font déjà sens qu’arrimées à l’instance subjective qui les investit par le langage, la personne humaine chrétiennement saisie. En exhumant ce rapport personnaliste aux choses, l’article invite à réévaluer la présence du paulinisme et ses effets à l’heure de l’inventaire des choses du nouveau consumérisme sous la dictature, suscitant une discussion métahistorique autour du projet théorique de ce tournant historiographique qui étend la performativité au-delà du langage. Faute de restituer un rapport théologique à la matière, ce tournant contraint à se demander si le seul pari d’une performativité extensive élimine effectivement les héritages cognitifs des savoirs élaborés sous la dictature.

Authors: Mathekga Mokgokong , Mdaka Nokhutula , Talatala Mvuyiso 
Published: November 2024

Background: Limited research exists on mortality rates and contributing factors among individuals with severe mental illness (SMI) in long-term psychiatric care, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Aim: To analyse mortality rates and associated factors at Solomon Stix Morewa Memorial Hospital (SSMMH), a long-term psychiatric care facility in Johannesburg, South Africa.Setting: SSMMH, a private facility in Selby Park, Johannesburg, has been contracted by the Gauteng Department of Health since March 2017 to provide inpatient care for SMI patients.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on records of 406 SMI patients admitted to SSMMH from March 2017 to February 2022. Mortality rates were calculated, and associated factors were analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression.Results: Of the 406 participants, 34 (8%) died over five years, yielding a standardised mortality ratio (SMR) of 1.28 (95% CI: 0.85–1.71). Mortality was highest in the 60–69 years age group (SMR 2.7), with most deaths occurring in 2020–2021, likely due to COVID-19. Cardiovascular conditions were the leading cause of death (53%). Age at admission (OR: 2.35, 95% CI: 1.55–3.58) and transfer site (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.42–0.81) were significant predictors of mortality.Conclusion: Individuals with SMI face elevated mortality rates, with age, diagnosis, and comorbidities as key factors.Contribution: This study provides insights into the comprehensive management of people with SMI to reduce mortality. Further research is needed to guide psychosocial and palliative care approaches.

Authors: Mohamed Rehab S. , Hashim Alaa M. , Moshrif Abdelhafeez M. , Sobhy Ali 
Published: November 2024

Background and aim
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic condition resulting in pain, fatigue, functional limitations, increased healthcare utilization, and high economic costs to society. Therefore, this study aims to assess the role of T memory cells in the pathogenesis of knee OA.

Patients and methods
This case–control study was carried out on 30 symptomatic patients with radiographic evidence of knee OA, who were attending Al-Azhar University Hospital, Assuit and 30 healthy volunteers. All the included patients were subjected to radiographic examination, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities score, Kellgren–Lawrence grade, and laboratory investigations (complete blood count–C-responsive protein–erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and assessment of T memory cells by flow cytometry.

Results
The mean CD3+CD4+CD8− T cells level, CD3+CD4+CD45Ro+ memory T cells level, CD3+CD8+CD4− T level, and CD3+CD8+CD45RO+ memory T was lower in OA cases (4.8±3.1) in comparison with controls. There was a significant moderated positive correlation between both grading scales and monocyte%, and between Kellgren–Lawrence grade and CD3+CD8+CD4− T cells (r=0.491, P=0.011) with an increase in disease severity, there was an increase in the CD3+CD8+CD4− T cells.

Conclusion
T memory cells have critical importance in the pathogenesis of knee OA. CD4+ T cells may serve a role in inducing inflammation in the early stages of OA, as well as being instrumental in causing inflammatory damage to the articular cartilage in the latter stages.
Antibacterial effect of 940 nm diode laser on Enterococcus faecalis-infected root canals
Authors: Abdollahi Amir Ardalan , Seyyedi Seyyed Amir , Lotfollahi Lida , Javan Navid Yekadast 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
This study compared the antibacterial effects of 940 nm diode laser and sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine irrigations on Enterococcus faecalis in human permanent single-rooted teeth.

Materials and Methods:
In this in vitro study, 65 extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared using the crown-down method using rotary files. The root canals were irrigated with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and normal saline solution. After placing the roots in microtubules, they were transferred into an autoclave. The teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15): laser, sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and saline. Three teeth were assigned to the positive control group and two to the negative control group. The root canals were sampled, and the colony counts were determined 24 h later. Then, antibacterial agents were applied to the canals, and immediately after, the root canals were sampled, and the colony counts were determined 24 h later. The data were analyzed using Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U-tests using the SPSS software version 26. The significance level was defined at P < 0.05.

Results:
The results showed that sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, laser, and normal saline significantly reduced bacterial colony counts, confirming their antimicrobial effects (P < 0.001). Sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine showed the highest antimicrobial effects, with no significant differences between the sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine groups (P = 0.512); however, there were significant differences between the other groups (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
According to the results, 940 nm diode laser beams significantly reduced E. faecalis counts and could be used as a new, effective, and complementary treatment in disinfecting the root canal.
Efficacy of autologous platelet concentrates for root coverage of Miller’s Class I and II gingival recession defects: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Yaghini Jaber , Mogharehabed Ahmad , Feizi Awat , Yazdanfar Fatemeh 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of autologous platelet concentrate (APCs) in comparison with coronally-advanced flap alone or in combination with connective tissue graft or other biomaterials or bioactive agents for root coverage (RC) of Miller’s Class I and II gingival recession defects by measuring the keratinized mucosa width (KMW).

Materials and Methods:
This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. An electronic search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, Magiran, Scientific Information Database, and Irandoc for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that used APCs for RC in their intervention group. Eligible articles were retrieved by assessment of titles and abstracts and then the full texts. The risk of bias was assessed by the Cochrane Library Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. Meta-analysis was carried out by RevMan 5.3 software. In the case of homogeneity, variables were reported as weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for each group.

Results:
The search yielded 689 articles; out of which, 32 were eligible for study inclusion. Meta-analysis did not show any additional effect for RC and KMW with APCs. Clinical parameters were as follows: RC: WMD = −1.57 mm (95% CI: −2.49, −0.659; P = 0.001) and KMW: −0.106 mm (95% CI: −0.3222, 0.110; P = 0.337).

Conclusion:
The application of APCs for RC of Miller’s Class I and II gingival recession defects does not seem to improve the clinical parameters.
Evaluating the efficacy of combining fractional CO2 laser and topical tranexamic acid for burn scar and hyperpigmentation treatment: A prospective, randomized, single-blinded, split-body study
Authors: Huang Ching-Ya , Lin Cen-Hung , Tsai Yueh-Ju , Lin Ko-Chien , Kuo Spencer Chia-Hao , Wong Lai-San , Lin Hui-Ping , Hsieh Ching-Hua 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
A fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser can improve the appearance of burn scars. In addition, tranexamic acid (TXA) inhibits melanin production for whitening effects. Laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) technology utilizes lasers to enhance the percutaneous absorption of drugs.

Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the use of a fractional CO2 laser in combination with TXA can further improve pigmentation in burn scars.

Methods:
This prospective, randomized, single-blinded, split-body study included patients aged 20 years and older who had burn scars with associated hyperpigmentation for more than 6 months. A total of 12 patients were included between September 1, 2019, and August 31, 2020. For each patient, their pigmented burn scar was divided into two sides along the midline. One scar side received fractional CO2 laser alone, and the other combined fractional CO2 laser and topically applied TXA solution. Treatment sessions were conducted monthly for a total of three times. Photographs were captured at baseline and 3 months after completing the 3 monthly treatment sessions. Four plastic surgeons, blinded to the treatment sides, compared the improvement on both sides of each patient based on the photographs. The patients’ reported satisfaction levels were also recorded.

Results:
In the physician assessments, both methods showed a noticeable improvement in scar appearance and pigmentation. On a scale of 1 to 10, physicians rated the overall improvement in scar appearance between 4.6 and 5.6 points, while the improvement in overall hyperpigmentation ranged from 6.0 to 6.9 points. The average patient satisfaction score was 8.4 ± 1.6 points. However, there was no significant difference in the improvement of outcomes between the two methods, with or without the addition of TXA treatment.

Conclusion:
This study shows that fractional CO2 laser treatment significantly improves burn scars and hyperpigmentation. However, adding TXA shows no clear additional benefits. Before making the final conclusion based on the results from the small patient sample size, further research is encouraged to clarify the delivery pathways in applying TXA and explore the mechanisms behind LADD.
Comparison of Dental Arch Measurements on Conventional and Digital Study Model: A Validity, Reliability, and Reproducibility Study in Himachal Pradesh
Authors: Sharma Disha , Gurung Deepak 
Published: November 2024

Aim:
The objective of this study was to assess the validity, reliability, and reproducibility of dental arch measurements between conventional study models and digital study models.

Materials and Methods:
The study sample comprised 50 pretreatment diagnostic conventional study models. Six dental arch measurements were assessed. The conventional study model’s measurements were done with digital vernier caliper (Precision, IP54). For three-dimensional (3D) model measurements, scanning of the conventional study models was done with the Maestro 3D dental scanner (Italy).

Results:
Measurement on conventional study models shows the mean value of the upper arch length was 72.33 and the mean value of the lower arch length was 64.68 for the conventional study model and the mean value of the upper arch length was 72.41 and the mean value of lower arch length was 63.11 for 3D model. There was a statistical difference between the measurements of overjet and overbite obtained between the study model and the 3D model. There was no statistical difference in intermolar width, intercanine width, and arch length of both the arches and curve of spee between conventional study models and 3D models. The Cronbach’s alpha (internal consistency) ranged from 0.81 to 1, intraclass correlation ranged from 0.70 to 0.99, and the concordance correlation coefficient ranged from 0.81–1, respectively, for various arch parameters.

Conclusion:
Digital study models were accurate, efficient, and easy-to-use alternatives to conventional study models. Hence, dental arch measurements of digital study models were as valid, reliable, and reproducible compared to conventional study models for all arch parameters except nonvalidity was observed for overjet and overbite measurement in the study.
Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Masseter Muscle in Patients with Oral Submucous Fibrosis
Authors: Jaganathan Ranjit Kumar , Maheswari Subramani Uma , Appukuttan Devapriya , Victor Dhayanand John , Prakash P. S. G. , Crena Jasmine 
Published: November 2024

Purpose:
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a potentially malignant disorder associated with gutkha chewing habit, and India has the greatest number of people affected, worldwide. Constant chewing leads to untoward forces on the masticatory muscles, especially the masseter muscle (MM). Hence, with an interdisciplinary approach, diagnosis and cessation of the habit and treatment will improve the well-being of the patient.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to assess the changes in the structure and function of the MM in patients with OSF using B-mode and M-mode ultrasonography.

Methodology:
The study sample was drawn from male patients attending the outpatient department of oral medicine and radiology. Subjects were divided into three groups of 20 subjects each as follows: Group I – 20 consecutive patients with the clinical diagnosis of OSF which constituted the case group; Group II – 20 consecutive patients with a history of areca nut use but no clinical evidence of OSF; and Group III –20 consecutive patients with a negative history of areca nut use and with no clinical evidence of OSF, who reported to the department for some other dental problems.

Results:
Based on the results of our study, we hypothesize that the reduction of amplitude of contraction and fractional shortening of MM as determined by ultrasonography could be one of the first and significant indicators of declining muscle function in OSF patients.

Conclusion:
The reduction of amplitude of contraction and fractional shortening of masseter muscle as determined by ultrasonography could be one of the first and significant indicators of declining muscle function in OSF patients.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Sickle cell disease (SCD), thalassemia, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are significant genetic disorders prevalent in Central India, particularly among tribal populations. Early detection through the neonatal screening can improve health outcomes.

Aim and Objective:
This study aims to assess the prevalence of SCD, thalassemia, and G6PD deficiency in a cohort of newborns from tribal regions in Central India and to evaluate the effectiveness of neonatal screening programs.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 382 newborns were screened using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for hemoglobinopathies and a colorimetric method for G6PD deficiency. Data on demographics and family history were collected and analyzed.

Results:
The screening revealed 22 cases of SCD (5.8%), 37 cases of thalassemia (9.7%), and 29 cases of G6PD deficiency (7.6%). A significant correlation was found between family history and the prevalence of these disorders.

Conclusion:
The findings highlight the need for comprehensive neonatal screening programs in tribal populations to enhance early detection and management of genetic disorders.
