Entre censure politique et domination masculine : représentations des sportives olympiques dans les biopics chinois (1981-2022)
Authors: Lin Siyao 
Published: July 2024

En 2021, l’affaire Peng Shuai, joueuse de tennis chinoise qui a osé dénoncer publiquement les abus sexuels dont elle aurait été victime de la part de l’ex-dirigeant communiste Zhang Gaoli, interpelle encore une fois sur la place des sportives en Chine. Si les autorités de ce pays promeuvent activement une image glorieuse des sportives dans les représentations médiatiques, et notamment dans les biopics olympiques, il faut éviter d’assimiler ces films à un réel mouvement d’émancipation féminine. À partir des analyses de huit biopics chinois centrés sur des sportives olympiques, cet article montrera tout d’abord comment ces biopics, en jonglant entre fiction et réalité, glorifient les exploits des sportives olympiques ; ensuite, une analyse figurative mettra en avant les stratégies narratives qui limitent les personnages à la figure de la « bonne fille de la patrie » dans les compétitions internationales ; finalement, une étude des sportives d’ethnies minoritaires permettra de mieux comprendre les multiples rapports de force et la métaphore des Jeux olympiques dans la propagande politique.
Transferts et greffes entre science, culture humaniste et littérature
Authors: Gamoneda Amelia 
Published: July 2024

Cet article aborde des zones de convergence entre science et culture humaniste qui intéressent le comparatisme. Envisager des transferts entre les deux cultures suscite des débats sur la possibilité d’assouplir leurs conceptions et leurs opérateurs respectifs : le modèle scientifique et la métaphore (donc, l’analogie). Le cas particulier des sciences cognitives et de la littérature permettrait d’aller plus loin en transformant le transfert en greffe, et on en exposera le cas d’un certain versant de la Poétique Cognitive.
The Olympic Art Competitions: Olympic medals for artworks, Pierre de Coubertin’s passion for art, the Fine Art Salon, and the social circles
Authors: Wilant Natalia Camps Y 
Published: July 2024

In 2024, the city of Paris will be hosting the Olympic Games for the third time, after 1900 and 1924. At that Olympic Games one competition was held at the Grand Palais for which, instead of physical effort, creativity was needed to win an Olympic medal. This means that Pierre de Coubertin’s Olympic program had an artistic element. Only a few people know that between 1912 and 1948, the Olympic Art Competitions were held in parallel to the sports contests. Male and female artists competed in the five disciplines of painting, sculpture, architecture, literature and music. Consequently, this paper traces the inspirational sources for Pierre de Coubertin to conceptualize such competitions. It unveils the link to the art worlds of the Fine Art Salon through his artistic family background. In addition, it explains the importance of the private salons to find like-minded people that helped him realizing his Olympic vision and who were companions along the way. The findings enable a better understanding of how and why the sports aficionado had an interest in art and find a way to combine both in the Olympic Art Competitions – the artistic element in the Olympic Program during the first half of the 20th century.
Vers une vie nouvelle, de Josef Suk, marche distinguée lors des Jeux olympiques de Los Angeles (1932) : modèle ou contre-modèle des musiques olympiques ?
Authors: Francfort Didier 
Published: July 2024

L’instrumentalisation de la musique et du sport dans les régimes totalitaires s’est accentuée dans les années 1930, en particulier lors de l’olympiade de Berlin. Des musiques d’allure allègrement martiale échappent pourtant à cette logique et restent en usage dans un contexte où le sport est placé au service d’un idéal universel pacifique. Une œuvre d’un compositeur tchèque, Josef Suk, composée initialement comme marche patriotique de la jeune république de Tchécoslovaquie, est devenue, non sans mal et sans débats, un symbole national grâce à une médaille olympique obtenue aux Jeux olympiques de Los Angeles en 1932.

Published: July 2024

Cet article présente une première synthèse des résultats du programme de recherche « Américanisation par les arts. États-Unis, France (1860-2019) » mené par une équipe d’historiens et de musicologues, avec le soutien de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme Paris-Saclay et de l’Université de Princeton. Centré sur l’étude des œuvres, il interroge les processus d’appropriations artistiques entre les États-Unis et la France depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Il en dégage les modes opératoires et en cerne les effets sur l’univers sensible à partir du corps, de la voix, de la langue et des formes. Sont ici envisagés, dans une perspective comparée associant divers domaines de la création, les temporalités, les acteurs et les effets des processus d’américanisation sur les pratiques artistiques et les imaginaires.

Les Jeux olympiques de Paris en 1924, une fête du muscle
Authors: Chèbre Aurélien 
Published: July 2024

En nous appuyant sur des archives variées, tant imprimées qu’audiovisuelles, notre article se propose d’analyser les Jeux olympiques de Paris 1924 – en particulier la semaine athlétique du 6 au 13 juillet – au prisme de la fête et des émotions qu’elle suscite. Ces dernières, partie intégrante de la culture olympique, font l’objet d’une attention particulière de la part des organisateurs. La technologie du stade olympique de Colombes autorise une mise en spectacle inédite des émotions, catalysant ainsi une forme de « sympathie musculaire » entre spectateurs et athlètes. La médiatisation des performances complète cette aide en direct dont bénéficie le profane pour mieux apprécier les courses. Les journalistes rappellent les enjeux sportifs et symboliques des épreuves dans leurs chroniques ou donnent les impressions à chaud des athlètes après les courses. Pourtant, malgré cette démarche pédagogique, la fête sportive ne se déroule pas sans accrocs. La démonstration des affects chez les athlètes ne correspond pas toujours aux attentes des spectateurs ou des journalistes, à l’instar du champion finlandais Paavo Nurmi, trop peu démonstratif. Par ailleurs, l’épreuve du cross-country, disputée sous une chaleur torride, suscite de vives réactions non seulement en raison des circonstances exceptionnelles de la course, mais aussi de son inadéquation avec l’essence émotionnelle de la pratique.
Doc’s Kingdom (1989), Route One/USA (1989), Dear Doc (1990) : la trilogie de Doc
Authors: Singer Isabelle 
Published: July 2024

Avec Route One USA (1989), Robert Kramer revient aux États-Unis faire le bilan de ce que le pays est devenu après huit ans de reaganisme : pauvreté, violence, discriminations, montée des intégrismes. C’est aussi le retour du personnage de Doc qui apparaît dans Ice (1970), Doc’s Kingdom, Route One USA en enfin Dear Doc, et avec lui vingt ans d’engagement. Ce personnage de fiction est au cœur du dispositif de Route One USA, nous faisant mettre en doute ce que nous estimons documentaire. Dans la structure rhizomatique des films, s’élabore la dimension critique de l’œuvre : rejet d'un état social injuste et violent, rejet aussi du cinéma dominant, cette « monoforme » dirait Peter Watkins, aliénante et simplificatrice.
Assessment of Anxiety Levels in Patients Scheduled to Undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Chail Amit , Muthanna B. A. , Soneji Dharmesh , Singh Harpreet , Lahel Ranjit Singh 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been known to induce elevated levels of anxiety in patients due to multiple factors such as fear of closed spaces when they are scanned in a confined tube for a long duration and loud noise during scans. This study aims to objectively assess anxiety levels in patients scheduled to undergo MRI, using a psychometric scale known as Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Methods:
The study was conducted involving 2413 patients who presented to the MRI Centre of a tertiary care hospital for 1 year. All patients scheduled to undergo MRI were explained the objective of the study and those willing to participate were given a self-administered set of questionnaires of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score – Anxiety subset. Out of 2413 eligible patients, 2027 completed the questionnaires and were included in the study.

Results:
The prevalence of anxiety among the prescan sample group was detected to be 52.5% and in the postscan group 66.5%. There was a greater proportion of females detected with anxiety at 60.3%. The most common age group involved was in the range of 41–50 years (37.7%). The fear of confinement in closed spaces and apprehension of high noise levels was detected to be the most common cause of anxiety at 44%.

Conclusion:
Anxiety among patients scheduled to undergo MRI scans is a major issue that though known has not been given due importance in terms of actions instituted by the hospitals to assess the anxiety and stress levels of these patients. Physicians and hospital administration must make dedicated efforts to put in place psychological support measures to generate the best results out of the scheduled MRI exams, both in terms of clinical outcomes in the form of good quality scans to enable definitive diagnosis, and in financial terms to make the best use of time, workforce and commercial resources available and avoid loss in form of cost increments due to delay/cancellation of scans owing to patient anxiety.
Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption with Extensive Cutaneous Involvement
Authors: Anderson Zeynoire , Fotouhi Audrey , Tolliver Starling , Mehregan Darius 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Recently, there has been discussion to reclassify pediatric Stevens–Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) as drug-induced epidermal necrolysis (DEN), separating it from infectious etiologies and redefining pediatric mucocutaneous eruptions as either reactive infectious mucocutaneous eruption (RIME) or DEN. In this report, we describe a previously healthy 4-year-old girl with rapidly progressive mucocutaneous blistering involving four mucosal membranes and 37.5% of total body surface area (BSA) following a prodromal rhinovirus and enterovirus infection. The symptoms occurred in the absence of an inciting medication and improved with only supportive care. This case illustrates a rare occurrence of RIME with TEN-like BSA involvement, prompting a review of the literature exploring the relationship between BSA involvement in RIME and its influence on patient outcomes. Findings support the proposed reclassification of SJS/TEN as DEN and postinfectious mucocutaneous eruptions as RIME.

Abstract

Introduction:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a unique viral infection causing multiorgan failure, can lead to diverse dermatological manifestations, unlike other viral exanthems. There is a scarcity of Indian literature describing these manifestations.

Aims and Objectives:
To study the dermatological manifestations due to COVID-19 infection.

Materials and Methods:
It was a retrospective analysis (6 month) of patients with dermatological manifestations related to COVID-19 infection. Medical records were evaluated with respect to demography, detailed clinical presentations, real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction/rapid antigen test positivity, and related investigations.

Statistical Analysis:
It was done using proportion, mean, and percentages.

Results:
A total of 76 cases were recruited. Out of the 76 COVID-19-related cases, there were 67 diagnosed and 9 suspected cases (later came positive). The overall female predominance (n = 69) was observed. The most common age affected was 31-40 years. The most common presentation during prodromal, acute, and postacute phases was urticaria. Other manifestations were chilblain-like, varicella-like, pityriasis rosea-like, erythema multiforme-like, petechial rash, multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children and confirmed cases of mucormycosis seen with cutaneous manifestation.

Conclusion:
Our study highlights the need for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing in patients presenting with rash in otherwise asymptomatic individuals having contact with confirmed case and when associated with systemic symptoms. Dermatological manifestations may play an important role in identifying cases early and serve as an important proxy in managing further spread of this disease in the midst of the global pandemic. Urticaria with fever has diagnostic significance since this combination can be a symptom of an otherwise not confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Curious Case of Swelling over the Back: A Case Report of Sebaceous Cell Carcinoma in a Patient of Airborne Contact Dermatitis
Authors: Jain Sonia , Galui Sangeeta , Sonkusale Pratiksha 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Sebaceous carcinoma is a rare variety of malignant tumor involving sebaceous glands. Compared to its ocular counterpart, the extraocular variant is even more rare, accounting for only one-fourth of all cases. It is a great mimicker of a plethora of benign and malignant tumors, hence often misdiagnosed. Surgical excision is the preferred mode of treatment in most cases. Here, we present the case of a 72-year-old male with airborne-contact dermatitis who was initially misdiagnosed with acrochordon, which was later found to be a case of sebaceous carcinoma on histopathology. There is a paucity of literature regarding sebaceous gland carcinomas located outside the head-and-neck region, which makes this case even more interesting.
A Cross-sectional Observational Study of Noninfectious Dermatoses in Geriatric Population
Authors: Rajpoot Prachi Singh , Poojary Sheetal , Pathave Hari 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
The geriatric population is expected to constitute 21.1% of total population in India by 2051. Geriatric population is associated with increased prevalence of various chronic diseases, physical disabilities, mental illness, and comorbidities. The trend is changing towards dermatoses of noninfective etiology owing to factors such as increased literacy rates and hygienic practices. Thus, our study is to focus on pattern of dermatoses of noninfective etiology in the most neglected yet important section of our population, that is, geriatric population.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to measure the prevalence of various noninfectious dermatoses among geriatric patients attending the skin outpatient department (OPD) at a tertiary care center.

Methods:
Two hundred and seventy-seven geriatric patients visiting skin OPD at a tertiary care center presenting with various noninfectious dermatoses were included, and the prevalence of various noninfectious dermatoses in this section of population was studied.

Results:
Eczemas were the most common group of noninfectious dermatoses (29.6%), followed by papulosquamous disorders (20.6%). Simultaneously associated systemic diseases and physiological changes were studied. Out of 277 patients, 156 (56.3%) had associated systemic illness. Eighty-seven (31.4%) patients were hypertensive, followed by diabetes mellitus (18.4%). The most common physiological change observed was wrinkling (47.6%), followed by seborrheic keratosis (46.2%). The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score between 2 and 5, i.e., small effect on a patient’s life, was significant in 100 (36.1%) patients, followed by moderate (DLQI 6–10 score), no effect (DLQI 0–1), very large (DLQI 11–20 score), and extremely large (DLQI 21–30) in 70 (25.3%), 57 (20.6%), 30 (10.8%), and 20 (7.2%) patients, respectively.

Conclusion:
In our study, eczemas were the most common group of noninfectious dermatoses in the elderly. So, simple measures such as diligent use of moisturizers, avoidance of harsh soaps and detergents along with adequate bathing time can decrease its prevalence.
Role of Serum IFN-γ and IL-10 as Predictive Biomarkers of Vitiligo Disease Activity: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Desai Karishma , Yadalla Hari Kishan Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background and Objectives:
IFNγ is a pleiotropic cytokine and through the regulation of immunologically relevant genes, they coordinate a wide range of cellular programs.[1] As a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine, it plays a pivotal role to induce depigmentation in vitiligo. In this study, we aim to assess the role of IFNγ in the activity, duration and extent of the disease and the antagonistic action of IL-10 is also assessed in vitiligo.

Materials and Methods:
A case-control study was conducted with 100 study participants with 50 cases clinically diagnosed as Vitiligo and 50 controls. All patients underwent complete evaluation with detailed demographic parameters, history and physical examination. The severity of the disease was assessed clinically by Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) and Vitiligo Disease Activity Score (VIDA). And blood investigations done were IFN-γ and IL-10.

Results:
We observed significantly higher levels of serum IFNγ levels in the patient group when compared with those of the normal controls (p=0.002) and showed a positive correlation with the activity and severity of the disease with a significant VASI (p=0.05) and VIDA score (p=<0.001). The mean serum IL-10 (p<0.001) in patients with vitiligo was significantly lower than that in the control group.

Conclusion:
This study showed significantly high serum levels of IFN-γ and correspondingly low levels of IL-10. New strategies, such as the combination of IFNγ blockade with inhibition of other signalling pathways, may further improve IFNγ targeted immunotherapy of the disease.
Mucocutaneous Manifestations among Patients with Malignancies at a Tertiary Care Center in Maharashtra: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Kachare Supriya Ashok , Belgaumkar Vasudha A , Pradhan Shekhar N. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background:
Malignant disorders are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Cutaneous manifestations may be presenting features of internal malignancies, leading to diagnosis of occult tumors, while others may occur as adverse reactions to therapeutic modalities.

Aims and Objectives:
To classify cutaneous manifestations among patients with malignant disorders, document their clinical profile, and analyze them with respect to age, gender, type of malignancy, and treatment.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred twenty patients with proven malignancy presenting with mucocutaneous lesions were enrolled in the cross-sectional study. On the basis of history, clinical examination, investigations and skin biopsy, the lesions were classified as (1) Primary cutaneous malignancy, (2) Cutaneous metastasis, (3) Paraneoplastic syndromes, (4) Mucocutaneous manifestations not related to malignancies, (5) Adverse effects secondary to treatment modalities.

Results:
One hundred twenty patients comprised 70 females (58.3%) and 50 males (41.7%). They were categorized as primary cutaneous malignancy (20.2%), hematological malignancies (15%), solid organ malignancy (50.9%), and gastrointestinal malignancies (5%). HIV seropositivity was seen in two patients (1.6%). Maximum belonged to Category 5 (60, 50%), of which 52 (86.7%) were adverse effects of chemotherapy with single patient showing radiation dermatitis and one patient in Category 3 (0.8%). Eleven patients showed cutaneous metastasis (9.1%), predominantly carcinoma breast. Clinically, primary cutaneous malignancies often presented as ulceronodular growths with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common histopathological type (30%). Anagen effluvium was the most common (35%) manifestation overall and in solid organ malignancies followed by melanonychia (16, 13.33%), cutaneous xerosis (9, 7.5%), and mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation (23, 19.16%).

Conclusions:
Mucocutaneous manifestations need prompt attention to facilitate timely diagnosis and improved outcomes.
Acitretin induced primary hypothyroidism in Darier’s disease: A rare case report
Authors: Babu Betsy Susan , Fernandes Carol Z. , Bhat Balachandra 
Published: July 2024

Abstract:
Acitretin is a synthetic, second-generation retinoid mainly used for the treatment of Darier’s disease (DD), which impacts biological processes by binding to a nuclear receptor from the corticosteroid/thyroid receptor superfamily, thereby altering gene expression. Our report outlines the case of a 41-year-old male patient who has received a clinical diagnosis of DD and does not exhibit any other coexisting comorbidities, who developed hypothyroidism posttreatment with acitretin, an unusual and rare side effect of the drug. His baseline routine investigations fell within normal limits before the initiation of acitretin. Acitretin-induced hypothyroidism was treated with thyroxine. Although a good therapeutic response was seen with acitretin, it could not be continued due to the development of side effects and was continued on topical therapy. This case emphasizes the likelihood of adverse effects linked to therapeutic levels of acitretin in patients without any prior history and signifies the critical importance of consistent blood monitoring throughout drug therapy.
Thermoresponsive gel containing bilirubin nanoparticles exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting neutrophil infiltration and augmenting interleukin-10 levels in carrageenan-induced rat paw edema
Authors: Kamothi Dhaval J. , Kant Vinay , Jangir Babu Lal , Ahuja Munish , Joshi Vinay G. , Kumar Vinod 
Published: July 2024

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:
Topical corticosteroids treat cutaneous inflammation but have side effects. In earlier studies, bilirubin exhibited anti-inflammatory effect, but its hydrophobicity and poor absorption limit its potential.

AIM:
Synthesis of bilirubin nanoparticles (BNP) and bilirubin nanoparticles gels (BNP gel) to study the anti-inflammatory effect of topical BNP gel against carrageenan-induced rat paw edema in Wistar rats.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
BNP were synthesized, and BNP gels were prepared by mixing BNP of different concentrations with pluronic F-127 (PF-127). A different group for each formulation was assigned with five rats in each group. After 1 h of carrageenan (1% [w/v]) injection in each group, different gels were applied topically to their respective groups. Paw edema size, percent inflammation, percent edema inhibition, and inhibition time50 were evaluated. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels and neutrophil infiltration in rat paw tissue were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and hematoxylin and eosin, respectively.

RESULTS:
Synthesized spherical-shaped BNP had negative zeta potential. BNP gels markedly reduced paw edema size and % inflammation as compared to carrageenan and bulk bilirubin gel (Bulk B gel) treated group and significantly increased IL-10 levels and inhibited neutrophil infiltration.

CONCLUSION:
BNP gels exhibited a better anti-inflammatory effect than bulk B gel and comparable anti-inflammatory potential with clobetasol.
