L'évolution récente de l'agriculture brésilienne : entre enjeu alimentaire et globalisation
Authors: Lubello Pasquale 
Published: April 2013

La constante amélioration quantitative (kcal/personne/jour) des niveaux de disponibilité alimentaire, observée au Brésil depuis les années 1970, s’accompagne d’une dégradation qualitative de l’équilibre nutritionnel. Celle-ci est liée à une éviction progressive de certains produits alimentaires de base (céréales, légumineuses et tubercules) par des produits nouveaux riches en sucres et en matières grasses végétales et fortement liés au secteur d’exportation. Face à ces transformations récentes, le retour à une approche analytique dualiste nous paraît pertinent, puisqu’elle permet de caractériser la dynamique agricole sous-jacente à ce processus de transition alimentaire.
Le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge et les Nations Unies de 1945 à nos jours : oppositions, complémentarités et partenariats
Authors: Bugnion François 
Published: April 2013

En 1945, le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) a vu avec méfiance l’émergence de l’Organisation des Nations Unies, perçue comme la continuation de l’alliance des vainqueurs. Toutefois, le CICR et les Nations Unies ont été conduits à développer leur coopération à travers plusieurs crises majeures : le premier conflit israélo-arabe (1948-49), l’insurrection hongroise (1956), la guerre civile au Congo (1960) et la crise des missiles de Cuba (1962). Cette collaboration a débouché sur deux importantes actions conjointes et sur l’octroi, en octobre 1990, d’un statut d’observateur permanent auprès de l’Assemblée générale. Ce statut constitue depuis plus de vingt ans la pierre angulaire des rapports entre le CICR et les Nations Unies.
La place des ONG au Conseil de l'Europe de 1952 à nos jours
Authors: Wassenberg Birte 
Published: April 2013

Le Conseil de l’Europe est une organisation européenne qui, dès le départ, cherche à associer les ONG à ses travaux. De par leur statut consultatif créé en 1954, elles participent activement à l’élaboration des instruments juridiques du Conseil de l’Europe. En 2003, la mise en place du statut participatif constitue une première au niveau mondial : les ONG peuvent désormais participer aux réunions des organes statutaires du Conseil. Progressivement, leur rôle à Strasbourg et leurs moyens de participation se renforcent. Ainsi, dans des structures comme le Centre européen de la jeunesse, elles siègent dans les organes décisionnels, sur un pied d’égalité avec les représentants gouvernementaux des Etats membres.
SSRIs for Anxiety and Depression in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Camenisch David R. , Hilt Robert J. 
Published: April 2013

CME Educational Objectives

1.
Understand which indications are best suited for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) administration in children.

2.
Learn the rationale for monitoring and how to monitor for SSRI medication side effects.

3.
Learn how to manage the reported SSRI risk for suicidality in children.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the most commonly prescribed medications for pediatric anxiety and depression. Despite widespread use, providers who primarily work with adults can vary widely in their knowledge base about use of this class of medication for children. This article therefore reviews the child-specific indications, side effects, and recommended monitoring parameters that prescribers should know when prescribing this class of medication to young people.
Surgical Decompression Improves Symptoms of Late Peroneal Nerve Dysfunction After TKA
Authors: Ward Joseph P. , Yang Lynda J.-S. , Urquhart Andrew G. 
Published: April 2013

Acute peroneal nerve palsy is a well-known complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that causes a neurological deficit typically seen within hours or days postoperatively. Peroneal nerve dysfunction presents more subtlely than peroneal nerve palsy, with decreased knee range of motion, lateral knee pain, or both following TKA. The diagnosis of peroneal nerve dysfunction may not be suspected for weeks, months, or even years after TKA. Electromyography and nerve conduction studies can support the diagnosis. Historically, peroneal nerve palsy following TKA has been treated nonoperatively but has had an unsatisfactory rate of complete recovery. Recently, a few reports have demonstrated that patients with either peroneal nerve palsy or dysfunction after TKA have had excellent results with surgical decompression of the peroneal nerve.
The authors describe a 63-year-old woman who reported transient episodes of lateral knee and leg pain for years after undergoing TKA. She eventually underwent electromyography and nerve conduction studies that indicated a diagnosis of peroneal nerve dysfunction. Approximately 10 years after the TKA, she underwent surgical decompression of the peroneal nerve and has done well since, with significant pain relief and an increased activity level.
This case supports the recent literature describing peroneal nerve dysfunction as an uncommon but surgically treatable cause of lateral knee pain following TKA. Increased awareness of the condition and its facile treatment via surgical decompression may result in improved outcomes years after TKA.
PHYSICIAN’S ATTITUDE TOWARDS TREATMENT OF OLDER PATIENTS AND THE CHOICE OF THERAPY
Authors: Ferrara Felicetto 
Published: April 2013

The treatment of acute myeloid leukemia in older patients is still object of controversies, because of considerable heterogeneity of patients and disease. Reluctance in administering conventional intensive chemotherapy relies on life-threatening complications induced by treatment in an often frail patient population. Nonetheless, while there is general consensus on the management of frail patients with supportive care only, a wide area of uncertainty remains for a considerable proportion of patients in whom treatment beyond support is feasible, with the aim of altering the natural history of the disease. Several predictive score have been proposed in order to prevent toxicity in absence of survival advantage, however in the daily practice patients’ and physician attitude do still have a major role in the final therapeutic decision.
Hereditary Disorders with Defective Repair of UV-Induced DNA Damage
Authors: Moriwaki Shinichi 
Published: April 2013

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is an essential system for correcting ultraviolet (UV)–-induced DNA damage. Lesions remaining in DNA due to reduced capacity of NER may result in cellular death, premature aging, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis of the skin. So, NER is an important protection against these changes. There are three representative genodermatoses resulting from genetic defects in NER: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (TTD). In Japan, CS is similarly rare but XP is more common and TTD is less common compared to Western countries. In 1998, we established the system for the diagnosis of these disorders and we have been performing DNA repair and genetic analysis for more than 400 samples since then. At present, there is no cure for any human genetic disorder. Early diagnosis and symptomatic treatment of neurological, ocular and dermatological abnormalities should contribute to prolonging life and elevating QOL in patients.
Representation Equivalent Bieberbach Groups and Strongly Isospectral Flat Manifolds
Authors: Lauret Emilio A. 
Published: April 2013

AbstractLet Γ1 and Γ2 be Bieberbach groups contained in the full isometry group G of ℝn. We prove that if the compact flat manifolds Γ1\ℝn and Γ2\ℝn are strongly isospectral, then the Bieberbach groups Γ1 and Γ2 are representation equivalent; that is, the right regular representations L2(Γ1\G) and L2(Γ2\G) are unitarily equivalent.
Use of Apitherapy as a Novel Practice in the Management of Oral Diseases: A Review of Literature
Authors: Ara Syeda Arshiya , Ashraf Sajna , Arora Vini , Rampure Prakash 
Published: April 2013

ABSTRACT
Man has always been ignorant of the plethora of natural products that are available around him. In his search for newer treatment modalities in medicine, he has reached back to the source of several vital materials that are available in nature. These natural products are not only highly bioactive, they also have several interactions that are synergistic in preventing infections, promoting healing and preserving health in total.
Bees have been around much longer than humans and the pinnacle of their evolution has been the development of honey. This multifaceted material is vital to the survival of the species and plays a major role in the physiologic development and maturity of bees. Man has been harvesting this natural resource of infinite applications and has been using it in traditional medicine since time immemorial.
Developments in science have led to us having a better understanding of the ingredients present in bee products and it has generated great interest in its use for medical treatment. This is the field of apitherapy. Its applications in oral diseases are not widely known. It has certainly shown great promise as being the next gold mine of therapeutic medicines that are useful in managing many oral diseases.

Published: April 2013

ABSTRACTLipomas are benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms of the oral cavity. Among its histological variants, fibrolipoma is a rare entity and is comprised of neoplastic fat cells embedded in dense collagen. Although, fibrolipomas may occur at various sites in the oral cavity, its etiology is obscure. The importance of differentiating an intraoral fibrolipoma from a mucocele, fibroma and pleomorphic adenoma is discussed through a case report of fibrolipoma in the buccal sulcus with review of literature.How to cite this articleAchath DD, Naik PR, Mukherjee JJ.

Published: April 2013

ABSTRACTThe conventional mandibular complete dentures are often associated with advanced ridge resorption and loss of retention. Dental implants in the anterior mandible were documented as being highly successful treatment option for overdenture. It has been use to improve the retention of mandibular dentures and also to improve patient's satisfaction. Because of high success rates, as well as lower costs, it is common to treat edentulous patients with just two implants and ball attachments for retention of the overdenture, instead of four implants and a bar. In this article a simple process of converting existing conventional denture into an implant supported overdenture by housing the retentive elements directly into the impression surface of the denture through a simple chairside technique is described.How to cite this articleMhatre S, Ram SM, Mahadevan J, Karthik M.

As Culturas Organizacionais Territorializadas
Authors: Mendes Luciano , Cavedon Neusa Rolita 
Published: April 2013

O objetivo fulcral neste ensaio foi o de estabelecer a articulação entre as noções de cultura organizacional e território, com o intuito de se analisar as manifestações culturais como fenômenos territorializados. Para tanto, inicialmente, teceu-se considerações visando ao aprofundamento das discussões sobre cultura organizacional e espaço / tempo nos estudos organizacionais. Após esse percurso, o propósito foi o de enfatizar as teorizações sobre território procurando elucidar suas peculiaridades, aprofundando as convergências e as divergências existentes entre os conceitos de território, espaço e lugar. Para finalmente se articular os intercruzamentos, objetivando a apreensão da cultura organizacional territorializada. Algumas considerações, ainda que parciais, encontram-se apresentadas no final do artigo e apontam para o fato de que a produção simbólica e política nas assertivas sobre a cultura organizacional apresentam significado efetivo quando situadas, delimitadas ou alocadas, ou seja, no momento em que for possível se evidenciar nos postulados sobre cultura organizacional a existência de territórios, espaços e lugares articulados nas relações de poder que os constituem.

The purpose of this review of clinical guidelines and best practices literature is to suggest prevention options and a treatment approach for intermittent catheter users that will minimize UTI. Recommendations are based both on evidence in the literature and an understanding of what is currently attainable within the Alberta context, through collaboration between both major tertiary care centres (Edmonton and Calgary) and between various professionals who regularly encounter these patients, including nursing, physiatry, and urology. Key references used to prepare this document included Canadian sources such as; SCIRE, along with the American Urological Association (AUA) and European Urological Association (EUA) documents on the topic and resources from Paralyzed Veterans of America. No details on neurogenic bladder management exist in the Canadian Urological Association list of publications. Finally, the impetus for preparing these protocols arose due to concerns identified by a survey of individuals with SCI regarding perceived gaps in knowledge and practice among caregivers and physicians about SCI and UTI prevention and management.
Urologists in cyberspace. A review of the quality of health information from American urologists’ websites using three validated tools
Authors: Wong Lih-Ming , Yan Hanmu , Margel David , Fleshner Neil E. 
Published: April 2013

Objectives: To evaluate a sample of urologists’ websites, based in the United States of America (USA), using three validated instruments: the Health on the Net Foundation code of conduct (HONcode), DISCERN and LIDA tools.To discuss how medical websites can be improved. Materials and Methods: The 10 most populous cities in America , identified from the US Census Bureau, were searched using www.google.com to identify the first ten websites using the terms “urologist + city”. Each website was scored using the HONcode, DISCERN and LIDA instruments.The median score for each tool was used to dichotomize the cohort and multivariable logistic regression used to identify independent predictors of higher scores. Results Of the 100 websites found, 78 were analysed. There were 18 academic institutions, 43 group and 17 solo practices. A medical website design service had been used by 18 websites. The HONcode badge was seen on 3 websites (4%). Social media was used by 16 websites.Multivariable logistic regression showed predictors of higher scores for each tool were: HONcode - academic centers (OR 6.8, CI 1.2-37.3, p=0.028) and use of medical website design service (OR 17.2, CI 3.8-78.1, p=0.001);DISCERN - academic centres (OR 23.13, p=0.002, CI 3.15-169.9 and group practices (OR 7.19, p=0.022, CI 1.33-38.93). LIDA tool - there were no predictors of higher scores. Pearson correlation did not show any correlation between the three scores Conclusions Using 3 validated tools for appraising online health information, we found a wide variation in quality of urologists’ websites in America. Increased awareness of standards and available resources, coupled with guidance from health professional regulatory bodies, would improve the quality health information on medical websites.
Clinical significance of suboptimal hormonal levels in men with prostate cancer treated with LHRH agonists
Authors: Kawakami Jun , Morales Alvaro 
Published: April 2013

Purpose: We examined the serum levels of testosterone (T) (total and bioavailable) dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), follicle stimulating (FSH), luteinizing (LH), and prostate specific antigen (PSA) in men receiving treatment with luteinizing hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH) agonists for metastatic prostate cancer, to determine the efficacy of these agents in lowering T levels and whether a possible relationship exists between PSA values, as a surrogate measure of tumor activity, and hormone levels. Materials and Methods: This was a single center prospective study of patients on LHRH agonists. Of all 100 eligible patients, 31 did not qualify: 10 were receiving their first injection, 13 were on intermittent hormonal therapy, 7 refused to enter the trial, and 1 patient’s blood sample was lost. Therefore, 69 patients were included in the final analysis. Each patient had their blood sample drawn immediately before the administration of a LHRH agonist. The new proposed criteria of <20ng/dL (0.69 nmol/L) of total testosterone was used to define optimal levels of the hormone in this population. Results: Of the 69 patients, 41 were on goserelin injections, 21 on leuprolide, and 7 on buserelin. There was no statistical difference in hormone levels between any of the medications. Overall, 21% of patients failed to reach optimal levels of total testosterone. PSA levels were higher in this group. There was a statistically significant correlation between PSA and testosterone levels as well as between PSA and FSH. Serum levels of PSA however, did not correlate with those of bio-available testosterone. Conclusions: Failure to reach optimal levels of testosterone occurs in patients on LHRH agonist therapy. Higher PSA values are more commonly found in patients with sub-optimal levels of testosterone receiving LHRH analogs but the clinical importance of this finding has not been established. There is no significant difference with respect to hormonal levels reached among patients on a variety of LHRH agonists. Total testosterone determinations should be considered in patients on LHRH agonist therapy, particularly when the PSA values begin to rise since it may lead to further beneficial hormonal manipulation.
A unique scrotal extratesticular epidermod cyst attached to the seminal vesicles
Authors: Sağlam Hasan Salih , Kumsar Şükrü , Köse Osman , Adsan Oztuğ 
Published: April 2013

A 46-year old man was admitted with a scrotal long standing painless mass. The work up included physical examination, alpha- fetoprotein (αFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) analyses, scrotal ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and urethrocystoscopy. The patient underwent surgery. Surgical exploration revealed a separate mass between the testes extending superiorly with a thin stalk. It was dissected easily to the anterior aspect of the seminal vesicles and removed from the junction to the seminal vesicles. Pathology reported an epidermoid cyst. To our knowledge this is the first case of a scrotal extratesticular epidermoid cyst attached to the seminal vesicles. Epidermoid cysts can be seen anywhere in the midline from the cranium to the anus. Embriologically abnormal closure of neural groove or epithelial fusion lines is one of the theories that seem more probable. Genital epidermoid cysts are rare, painless and usually located in the testes. Up to date less than 10 case reports of extratesticular epidermoid cysts have been published. For those cases malignancy may not be ruled out, so the surgical removal was advocated.
Metastatic prostate cancer with malignant ascites: A case report and literature review
Authors: Ani Ifeanyi , Costaldi Mark , Abouassaly Robert 
Published: April 2013

Malignant ascites from advanced prostate cancer is a rare entity with only few cases reported. It represents a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 57 year old African American male presenting with weight loss, lower urinary tract symptoms, and voiding dysfunction, found to be in renal failure with metabolic abnormalities associated with significant abdominal distention and pain. CT imaging showed ascites which was pathologically confirmed by immunostaining and cytological identification of malignant cells. Prostate biopsy identified high grade prostate cancer which responded to hormonal therapy with a significant decrease in serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA). Ascites was managed with paracentesis and renal failure with hemodialysis as needed.
Gérer la tentation en situation d’apprentissage : comparaison de la réévaluation cognitive avec l’obéissance à un ordre
Authors: Leroy Véronique , Dayez Jean-Baptiste , Mikolajczak Moïra , Grégoire Jacques 
Published: April 2013

Quand un étudiant se retrouve en situation de tentation, ses parents/professeurs usent fréquemment de leur autorité pour le convaincre de persister dans son apprentissage. La présente étude propose une autre stratégie : la réévaluation cognitive. Elle consiste à changer la signification de la situation. Quatre-vingt-dix participants ont mémorisé des informations tout en étant tentés de regarder des images. Comparés à ceux qui n’avaient pas effectué de réévaluation ou qui avaient reçu l’injonction de bien faire, le groupe ayant réévalué la tâche (1) s’est moins laissé distraire, (2) a amélioré sa performance et (3) a attribué plus de valeur à la tâche.
« Savoir-y-faire » avec les élèves ; repérer une compétence professorale d’énonciation par une étude de cas
Authors: Montagne Yves Félix 
Published: April 2013

L’objet de ce travail est d’analyser l’acte ou la parole non préméditée qui permet à un enseignant de retisser le lien éducatif face à des élèves emportés qui désorganisent le cours. Depuis l’éclairage de la psychanalyse, par l’interprétation des paroles d’une professeure, on proposera une construction de cas pour vérifier que ce genre d’invention peut s’apparenter à un « savoir-y-faire ». Ce texte tente ainsi de préciser la structure de cette compétence professorale d’énonciation et envisage diverses manières de l’intégrer à la formation professorale.
La radicalisation, une résultante de stratégies de démarcation : la cause azerbaïdjanaise en Iran dans les années 2000
Authors: Riaux Gilles 
Published: April 2013

Les mouvements nationalistes sont souvent associés à une forme de radicalité à cause de demandes indépendantistes et de l’usage de la violence. La cause azerbaïdjanaise en Iran invite à se départir du lien créé entre positionnement idéologique radical et passage à la violence. Il permet de considérer d’autres pratiques dans la radicalisation que le passage à la violence ; celles-ci ont en commun d’instaurer une rupture entre un regroupement volontaire d’individus et le reste de la société. La radicalisation apparaît alors comme une évolution visant à séparer un groupe de l’univers social dans lequel il évolue habituellement par l’adoption d’un projet de subversion de l’ordre politique.
