« Celles qu’on n’entend pas sont plus douces »
Authors: Kennaway James 
Published: November 2017

L’historiographie s’est intéressée jusqu’ici aux hallucinations musicales en lien avec les débuts de la médecine moderne, si bien que le xixe siècle a été considéré comme une période charnière marquant une rupture : les conceptions mystiques auraient été supplantées par une approche scientifique attribuant aux hallucinations le statut de symptômes. Mais la réalité est plus complexe, et cet article montre de quelle façon les différents discours – religieux, semi-scientifiques, romantiques et médicaux – ont permis le maintien de conceptions ambiguës et positives du phénomène.
Le désir de tuer
Authors: Morand Katell 
Published: November 2017

Un chant peut-il pousser à tuer ? Cet article explore les rapports étroits entre musique et homicide dans une ancienne région frontière des haut-plateaux éthiopiens. Émotions faisant perdre la tête, échauffements collectifs, précautions en tous genres : tout dans des récits de protagonistes porte à croire à une efficacité dangereuse du chant. Mais à quoi serait-elle due ? En filigrane de discours paradoxaux et au fil des performances apparaissent des enjeux cruciaux de légitimité dans le cadre de conflits interpersonnels. Mettre en lumière certains des ressorts du passage à l’acte revient à se demander ce qui dans le chant en fait une explication si convaincante au désir de tuer.
Cœurs brûlants
Authors: Bretèque Estelle Amy de la 
Published: November 2017

Chez les Yézidis d’Arménie, les
kilamê ser
(litt. « paroles sur ») constituent un genre musical intimement lié à la souffrance. On peut les entendre lors des enterrements, dans les maisons, ou sur des enregistrements commercialisés. Ils sont fréquemment énoncés par des femmes « au cœur brûlant », endeuillées éternelles qui se remémorent leurs souffrances. L’entretien de la douleur est une forme de sacrifice de soi, un acte qui offre le pendant féminin au martyr masculin exemplifié dans la mort tragique.
Voies de guérison, voix de sorciers

Published: November 2017

Les peuples indigènes d’Amazonie occidentale emploient fréquemment le chant comme une technique de guérison. Cette guérison est toutefois affaire de perspective : dans la mesure où elle implique une riposte contre celui ou celle qui cause la maladie, le bien des uns peut faire le désastre des autres. Pour être en mesure de chanter des chants de guérison puissants, il faut en tout cas connaître aussi le processus inverse.

ABSTRACTA 4-year-old male with headaches, papilledema, intracranial hypertension, and bilateral transverse sinus (TS) stenosis underwent attempted percutaneous placement of a right TS stent. Stent deployment was not technically feasible due to the stiffness of the stent and tortuosity of the patient's jugular bulb. Therefore, the patient underwent hybrid endovascular stenting of the right TS using neuronavigation and direct access of the TS following a single burr hole craniectomy. Two Express 8 mm × 17 mm balloon-mounted stents were deployed into the right TS, which resulted in obliteration of the preexisting trans-stenosis pressure gradient and decreased intracranial parenchymal pressure as monitored through an intracranial pressure bolt. The patient's headaches and papilledema resolved, and follow-up imaging demonstrated no in-stent or stent-adjacent stenosis. This case demonstrates the feasibility of combining minimally invasive open surgical access to allow direct cannulation for venous sinus stenting.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Review of literature revealed very limited studies considering a combination of serum prolactin (PRL) and serum creatine kinase (CK) as markers for differentiating epileptic and psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Therefore, in the present study, we analyzed the role of serum PRL and serum CK, individually and in combination. Methodology: This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary care medical teaching hospital over a period of 18 months. Patients aged over 15 years suspected to have new-onset seizures presenting within 5 h of ictus were included in this study. CK, serum PRL was measured at 0–1, 1–3, and 3–5 h after seizures. Results: Hundred subjects were studied for the role of serum PRL and serum CK in differentiating epileptic and PNES. The mean age was 42.24 years with a male:female ratio of 1.27:1. All patients of generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCS), who presented within 1 h, had elevated PRL, whereas 75% of patients with partial seizures had elevated PRL within 1 h of presentation. Nearly 91.66% of patients with GTCS who presented within 1 h had elevated CPK, whereas 70% of patients with partial seizures had elevated CPK. None of the patients diagnosed with PNES showed rise in either of the markers. Conclusion: In the present study, none of the patients with PNES showed raise in either serum PRL or CK. However, there was no correlation between the types of seizure and PRL or serum CK levels.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion and pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL) imaging are newer advanced magnetic resonance sequences which are capable of detecting vascular changes in patients with new-onset seizure disorder even when no significant abnormalities are visualized on conventional sequences. The purpose of our study is to establish utility of arterial spin labeling (ASL) in new-onset seizure patients and compare ASL with DSC perfusion sequence. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients coming to emergency department with new-onset seizure disorder were evaluated using DSC and ASL sequence. Perfusion asymmetry was assessed using region of interests taken at places where signal asymmetry was maximal. Results: PASL sequence showed focal vascular changes in form of hyperperfusion in four patients, hypoperfusion in nine patients, and normal perfusion in 13 patients. Altered perfusion whether hypo/hyperperfusion was detected in five out of 16 patients even when conventional sequences were normal. There was strong positive linear correlation between ASL and DSC with P = 0.001. Conclusion: Noninvasive PASL is capable of detecting vascular changes induced by seizure and is comparable to DSC sequence. Thus, it is recommended when there is a need for repeated evaluations; in follow-up/therapy response assessment and when contrast administration is contraindicated.

ABSTRACT
Background: There is a paradigm shift in health loss due to premature mortality and disability from neuropsychiatric disorders with major burden in low- and middle-income countries. Objective: To study the trend of admissions with neuropsychiatric and substance-use disorders in 3 years in psychiatry and medicine wards of tertiary care hospital in rural Himachal Pradesh. Methodology: A retrospective data mining was done from records of Inpatient wards of Dr. R. P. Government Medical College, Tanda, Himachal Pradesh, for the year 2013–2015. Demographic details and diagnosis of neuropsychiatric disorders, licit and illicit drug use, and their consequences in the form of hanging and poisoning were analyzed. Results: Majority of admissions were attributed to alcohol abuse which increased in 3 years significantly in the months of July–September (P = 0.02) and October–December (P = 0.00). Almost all cases of neuropsychiatric disorders and majority of poisoning (58.2%) were observed among females. The productive young and middle age group (21–40 years) was mostly affected by all cause neuropsychiatric disorders (80.9%) and presented with poisoning (66.2%). Illicit drug abuse was on increasing drift among females. Conclusion: Indoor admissions were attributed to alcohol use and poisoning while neuropsychiatric disorders and substance abuse were probably dealt with at outpatient level. Treatment pertaining to mental illnesses was sought in severe cases only. Data demonstrating population burden are needed urgently to address the barriers to treatment to reduce burden.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Due to Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm Arising from a Vertebral Artery-Bihemispheric Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Bifurcation
Authors: Ogasawara Yasushi , Kashimura Hiroshi , Aso Kenta , Saura Hiroaki 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTAlthough the anatomy of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is highly variable, a solitary PICA supplying both hemispheres of the cerebellum is rare. A 76-year-old woman presented with severe headache and subsequent loss of consciousness and was admitted to our hospital. Initial computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemorrhage. Three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography revealed a saccular aneurysm arising from the right vertebral artery (VA)-PICA bifurcation. The PICA branching from the right VA was enlarged, tortuous, and crossed the midline to supply both cerebellar hemispheres. This right PICA was interpreted as a bihemispheric PICA. Recognizing this variant preoperatively could help prevent complications of surgery. Careful follow-up studies are necessary in cases with bihemispheric PICA to monitor for the development of aneurysm at the junction between the bihemispheric PICA and the VA or the distal portion of the bihemispheric PICA.

ABSTRACT
Background: There is no information on the prevalence of symptoms related to neurotoxicity among carpenters working in underserved populations. To assess the magnitude of the problem, we conducted a population-based study in Atahualpa, a rural Ecuadorian village, where most men work as carpenters under poor safety conditions. Methods: All men aged 40–75 years living in Atahualpa were identified during a door-to-door survey and evaluated with a general demographic questionnaire, the Q16 questionnaire, the depression axis of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Results: Among 230 participants, 63% were carpenters. Seventy participants (30%) had a positive Q16 questionnaire (≥6 points), which suggested neurotoxicity. In a logistic regression model adjusted for age, education, alcohol intake, symptoms of depression, and MoCA score, the proportion of Q16 positive persons was 39.1% for carpenters and 15.9% for noncarpenters (odds ratio: 3.53, 95% confidence interval: 1.75–7.15, P < 0.0001). In a generalized linear model, adjusted mean scores in the Q16 questionnaire were 4.9 for carpenters and 3.6 for noncarpenters (β: 1.285, standard error: 0.347, P < 0.0001). There was no correlation between scores in the Q16 questionnaire and the MoCA (Pearson correlation coefficient = −0.02), and the only significant covariate in the multivariate linear model was age, with every 10 years of age difference contributing 0.64 points in the Q16 questionnaire. Conclusion: This study shows a high prevalence of symptoms associated with neurotoxicity among carpenters after adjusting for a number of confounders. Long-term exposure to toxic solvents is the most likely explanation to this finding.
Chromosome 15 Duplication and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Authors: Gnanavel Sundar 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTChromosome 15 duplication has been associated with a number of psychiatric illnesses including psychosis and autism. However, literature on association with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is scant. This case report describes a patient with chromosome 15 duplication diagnosed with ADHD in our neurodevelopmental clinic. The possible biological underpinnings are discussed along with possible challenges in diagnosis and management. The need for better understanding ADHD as a behavioral phenotype in such cases along with need for tailored management strategies is emphasized.
Postepidural Spinal Intradural Arachnoid Cyst: A Rare Case Report

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTCompression of the neural structures in spine by an intradural arachnoid cyst is a rare entity. At times such a cyst is an incidental finding. Spinal epidural injection is one of the few rare etiological factors for its development. Symptomatic cysts can present with variable neurological manifestations depending on the spinal level involved. This includes back pain, lower limb weakness, and sphincteric dysfunction. If asymptomatic, they can be followed radiologically. Surgical decompression along with a histological diagnosis is reserved for cysts that are enlarging, symptomatic or the ones for whom the diagnosis is uncertain. Incomplete excision of cyst wall or simple fenestration and decompression mandates close follow-up, clinically and radiologically for further recurrences.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACT
Background: Epilepsy is the most common chronic neurological disease and has neurological impairment as an important comorbidity. Objective: To find behavioral problems and intelligence quotient (IQ) changes associated with epilepsy and to know the association of variables such as frequency, type of seizures, and duration of disease with cognitive impairment. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study, consisting of 50 cases (patients of epilepsy) and 50 controls (other patients of same socioeconomic status) was conducted at S.P. Medical College, Bikaner. The patients were subjected to detailed clinical history, thorough examination, Pediatric Symptom Checklist, and Bhatia's Battery of Performance intelligence Test. Data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS 22 software. Results: The prevalence of behavioral problems in generalized and partial seizure group was high (42% and 53.8%) as compared to control group (9%). Low IQ was present more in the patients (44%) of generalized and partial seizure group as compared with the control group, and results were statistically significant. Furthermore, behavioral problems were more in patients who were having more number of seizures (≥3 per year) with significant P values (χ2 = 5.067, P = 0.024). Conclusion: We conclusively found that behavioral problems and cognitive factors, apart from control of seizures, must be kept in mind to determine how well a child with epilepsy progresses toward independence.
Control de Tracción para un Vehículo Eléctrico basado en Observadores no Lineales

Published: November 2017

<p>En este trabajo se propone una estrategia de control de tracción para un vehículo eléctrico de cuatro ruedas, basada en observadores no lineales que permiten estimar la fuerza máxima que se puede transferir al suelo. El conocimiento de la fuerza máxima permite realizar un control del deslizamiento de los neumáticos de tracción, evitando que las ruedas patinen aún en superficies de baja adherencia. La estrategia propuesta permite además evitar que se produzca un momento de guiño no deseado en el vehículo cuando las condiciones de suelo a cada lado del mismo son diferentes. Con ello se logra mejorar la eficiencia y el control del vehículo, evitando posibles pérdidas de estabilidad que pueden resultar en riesgos para sus ocupantes. Tanto el observador como el control propuestos son diseñados en base a un modelo dinámico rotacional de la rueda y un modelo de fuerzas de brush. Se presentan resultados de simulación obtenidos empleando un modelo completo de vehículo sobre la plataforma Simulink/CarSim</p>
Austrian and Dustbowl Refugees Unite in Three Faces West (1940)
Authors: Vansant Jacqueline 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Released in July 1940, a little over two years after Austria had been incorporated into Nazi Germany and ceased to exist as an independent state, Bernard Vorhaus's Three Faces West takes a bold stand on contemporary issues through its Austrian-American romance. The filmmakers use the dire situation of farmers in a drought-ravaged area to elicit sympathy for the refugees from Europe and to challenge nativist and isolationist attitudes. The film features two refugees from Vienna, Austria—a renowned surgeon (Charles Coburn) and his attractive daughter (Sigrid Gurie)—who must adjust to living in a rural community in the American heartland. When the celluloid Americans meet these foreign individuals, serious cultural commentaries emerge. The promise of unity between foreigners and American-born is most pronounced when the young Austrian woman and the handsome, farmer protagonist (John Wayne) fall in love. In this rare Austrian-American romance set in the United States, the filmmakers counter perceptions of the refugees as alien others and suggest that cultural differences can easily be overcome. By weaving together the stories of the Austrians fleeing Hitler and their American counterparts fleeing the Dust Bowl, the film proposes a radical alternative to the misery of the displaced Americans familiar from the news and presented most graphically in John Ford's filming of John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath (March 1940).
Retrospectively reported month-to-month variation in sleeping problems of people naturally exposed to high-amplitude annual variation in daylength and/or temperature
Authors: Putilov Arcady A. 
Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTCompared to literature on seasonal variation in mood and well-being, reports on seasonality of trouble sleeping are scarce and contradictive. To extend geography of such reports on example of people naturally exposed to high-amplitude annual variation in daylength and/or temperature. Participants were the residents of Turkmenia, West Siberia, South and North Yakutia, Chukotka, and Alaska. Health and sleep-wake adaptabilities, month-to-month variation in sleeping problems, well-being and behaviors were self-assessed. More than a half of 2398 respondents acknowledged seasonality of sleeping problems. Four of the assessed sleeping problems demonstrated three different patterns of seasonal variation. Rate of the problems significantly increased in winter months with long nights and cold days (daytime sleepiness and difficulties falling and staying asleep) as well as in summer months with either long days (premature awakening and difficulties falling and staying asleep) or hot nights and days (all 4 sleeping problems). Individual differences between respondents in pattern and level of seasonality of sleeping problems were significantly associated with differences in several other domains of individual variation, such as gender, age, ethnicity, physical health, morning-evening preference, sleep quality, and adaptability of the sleep-wake cycle. These results have practical relevance to understanding of the roles playing by natural environmental factors in seasonality of sleeping problems as well as to research on prevalence of sleep disorders and methods of their prevention and treatment in regions with large seasonal differences in temperature and daylength.
El hipertexto o el nuevo espacio comunicativo multimodal
Authors: Celis Sánchez Ángela 
Published: November 2017

Como resultado de la aparición del espacio telemático y la comunicación hipertextual, las conocidas como metafunciones, enunciadas en primera instancia por el funcionalista M.A.K. Halliday en su teoría del lenguaje conocida como sistémico funcional, cobran un cariz diferente del que se describe para los tradicionales entornos oral y escrito. Así, las clásicas metafunciones del lenguaje deberán ser enunciadas a partir de ahora como hiperfunciones o multifunciones, precisamente por la esencia multimodal (texto, imagen y sonido) que las alberga. Nos proponemos acercar teóricamente las distancias producidas por el salto del entorno analógico al entorno digital, para proponer una suerte de teoría específica para este nuevo espacio comunicativo.
