FREQUENCY OF ANTERO POSTERIOR PELVIC TILT IN POSTPARTUM PATIENT OF CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN
Authors: Saif Hiba 
Published: December 2024

Background: In postpartum patients with low back aches, postural changes have been visible to keep them away from pain. In case of continual low back ache, those modifications adaptively might also adjust muscles strength and body mechanics, which lead to adaptations in the role of pelvic anterior superior and posterior superior iliac spines. It may cause an exaggerated or decreased attitude of pelvic inclination. However, the frequency of this phenomenon is not acknowledged.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data using the Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and goniometer from a conveniently selected sample of 190 postpartum females with low back pain visiting Sir Gangaram Hospital, LGH, and Mayo Hospital in Lahore. After collection, data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: Mean age of participants was 31.29±5.4, with a mean BMI of 24.29±3.4. On average, the pain score was 3.98 ±3.1. About 41.1% had anterior pelvic tilt, 25.8% had posterior pelvic tilt, and 33.2% were neutral. The angle of inclination had a mean of 29.68 ±10.23 degrees.
Conclusion: Pelvic tilt was frequent (41.1%) in postpartum patients with chronic lower backache. There was a substantial correlation between pain and pelvic tilt for the postpartum low back pain patient.

Authors: Course Didier 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
For over a century, French nuns followed the lead of a pioneer, Emilie de Vialar (1797–1856), who with a handful of nuns and against all odds established the first missionary congregation of women in Algeria, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Apparition, in August 1835. This article retraces the work and political, social, and linguistic roles of these women in the colonial geopolitics of the nineteenth century during the French Third and Fourth Republics as well as their part in the decolonization process.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: Preeclampsia and eclampsia are hypertensive disorders of pregnancy associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological complication observed in these conditions, yet its impact on fetomaternal outcomes remains underexplored. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PRES and fetomaternal outcomes in women with preeclampsia and eclampsia.
Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 64 singleton pregnant women beyond 20 weeks of gestation with preeclampsia and eclampsia having neurological symptoms. Participants underwent clinical evaluation and radiological assessment, including non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Maternal outcomes, including high dependency unit (HDU)/intensive care unit (ICU) stay, intubation, mode of delivery and maternal mortality. Fetal outcomes, i.e., stillbirth, prematurity, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay, were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to compare outcomes between PRES and non-PRES groups.
Results: The majority (92.18%) of participants were unscheduled and (56.2%) were primigravida. PRES was diagnosed in 62.5% of cases, predominantly associated with antepartum eclampsia (47.5%). Neurological symptoms such as headache (85.9%) and blurring of vision (68.8%) were common in PRES cases. Cesarean section rate was significantly higher in PRES group (75%), along with adverse outcomes including increased HDU/ICU stay, intubation, postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), abruption, maternal mortality, stillbirth, prematurity, fetal growth restriction (FGR), meconium-stained liquor (MSL), and NICU stay, which were observed significantly higher in women with PRES (p < 0.001) and low Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration (APGAR) scores (p < 0.05). However, no significant association was observed between PRES and early neonatal death (ENND).
Conclusion: PRES is associated with adverse fetomaternal outcomes in women with preeclampsia/eclampsia, including higher cesarean section rate and increased maternal and neonatal morbidity. Early recognition and management of PRES are crucial for improving outcomes in these high-risk pregnancies. Further research with larger sample sizes is warranted to validate these findings and explore potential interventions.
EL EMPODERAMIENTO ECONÓMICO FEMENINO. EL CASO DE LAS MUJERES RURALES DE ECUADOR
Authors: Sánchez Gordillo Olinda , Pin Mirava Suleydi , Rizo Barberán July 
Published: December 2024

A medida que las mujeres van teniendo acceso al empleo e ingresos propios trascienden los roles atribuidos al género femenino, ya que se insertan en el papel de proveedoras, habitualmente imputado a los hombres. Los emprendimientos manejados por mujeres, en general, se caracterizan por el bajo reconocimiento a su labor y porque generalmente permanecen en el sector informal de la economía. Tampoco son valorados los tiempos que las mujeres dedican al trabajo productivo y reproductivo, sean estos remunerados o no. Con base en esta situación, el articulo aborda la problemática relacionada al empoderamiento económico femenino tomando como caso de estudio las mujeres rurales del Ecuador, para a través del método deductivo, establecer un análisis, de lo general a lo particular. Por otra parte, el acceso a créditos de entidades públicas o privadas es complejo, razón por la cual estas optan por solicitar créditos en cooperativas o a través de familiares; ya que en dichas entidades deben presentar una serie de requisitos que no se adaptan a sus realidades. El común denominador es la falta de oportunidades, por lo que cada actividad para ellas representa mayor esfuerzo, trabajo y perseverancia. Por tanto, es prioritario que las políticas públicas creen cimientos sostenibles para que las mujeres alcancen el empoderamiento, focalizando su atención en el reconocimiento al trabajo y a la labor de cuidado que ejercen en todos sus ámbitos, familiar, personal y organizacional.

Abstract: Researchers worldwide are developing innovative luminescent systems with exceptional features like high sensitivity. Luminescent frameworks based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) have emerged as promising candidates for various applications. Over the past decade, porous materials like metal-organic cages (MOCs) incorporating AIE luminogens (AIEgens) have demonstrated exceptional performance. Chirality plays a significant role in specific non-racemic luminescent systems, particularly circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Chiral organic materials coordinated with metals, including MOCs, have gained importance as they combine organic ligands and coordination-bonded metal centers, enabling the design of novel structures with CPL. These materials have shown exciting potential applications in fields like CPL-OLED, chiral recognition, and sensing. This review article provides an overview of the recent progress in emissive porous materials, specifically MOCs, and their possible applications. Additionally, the review focuses on the recent progress in AIEgen-based cages, CPL-active cages, and non-AIEgen-based cages, their practical applications in sensing and enantioselectivity, and future prospects. Key challenges in AIE-based POCs and MOCs include limited stability, affecting their use in wide-surface thin films, and the need to understand molecular structure and topology impacts. Future efforts should enhance luminescence efficiency and explore applications in chiral sensing, supramolecular assemblies, bioimaging, and optoelectronics, driving innovation in smart materials.
