Rupture d'équilibres au Mali
Authors: Chena Salim , Tisseron Antonin 
Published: June 2013

L’intervention militaire franco-africaine au Mali, déclenchée le 11 janvier 2013, a permis la reconquête des régions du nord du pays, alors entre les mains de groupes jihadistes ayant évincé les rebelles touaregs du Mouvement national de libération de l’Azawad. La déstabilisation du Mali, si elle est la conséquence directe de la chute du régime de Mouammar Kadhafi, s’inscrit cependant dans des dynamiques plus anciennes renvoyant à la fois à la perception de l’autre, aux relations entre les pouvoirs et les territoires, aux évolutions du sacré et à l’attitude des principaux acteurs régionaux. Rendre intelligible la trajectoire du Mali durant l’année 2012 impose de la replacer dans le temps long, ne serait-ce que pour éviter tout manichéisme dans les analyses.
Peut-on parler de « seigneurs de guerre » dans la zone sahélo-saharienne ?
Authors: Bouquet Christian 
Published: June 2013

Une approche de géographie politique permet de donner à la crise sahélo-saharienne un éclairage particulier. Ainsi sont soulignés le rôle des conditions naturelles dans la vulnérabilité et la fragilité des populations, obligées d’être mobiles pour survivre, le poids de l’histoire, mal connue mais fort bien assumée par les générations d’aujourd’hui, la dynamique démographique, plus inquiétante que réconfortante, et la déliquescence des États, qui ne sont plus en mesure de contrôler leurs territoires. Dans ce contexte, les recompositions spatiales auxquelles nous assistons relèvent-elles davantage d’une volonté de faire prévaloir un islam plus radical que du crime organisé par des seigneurs de guerre, fussent-ils jihadistes ?
L'amélioration des conditions de travail à l'épreuve du système français de relations professionnelles : la négociation de l'accord interprofessionnel de 1975
Authors: Rochefort Thierry 
Published: June 2013

La France a connu au début des années 1970 un intense débat autour de la problématique des conditions de travail. L’article se propose de restituer le processus de négociation de l’accord national sur le sujet qui s’est déroulé de 1973 à 1975. L’analyse de ce processus montre les blocages liés à la spécificité du système français de relations professionnelles, en particulier la difficulté à négocier au niveau le plus décentralisé. Ces blocages persistent-ils ou sont-ils au contraire levés ? L’article s’efforce d’apporter une réponse nuancée.
Le rapport Sicard : une étape au milieu du gué
Authors: Mallet Donatien , Jacquemin Dominique 
Published: June 2013

Dans un contexte de campagne présidentielle où François Hollande, candidat élu à la présidence de la République française, s’était engagé à ouvrir une « assistance médicalisée pour terminer sa vie dans la dignité », le rapport de la « commission de réflexion sur la fin de vie en France » présidé par le professeur Didier Sicard était attendu avec intérêt. S’appuyant sur des débats publics, il dresse un bilan particulièrement critique sur les conditions du mourir en France. En écho, il formule de nombreuses propositions. Certaines sollicitent le pouvoir politique dans sa capacité à contribuer à l’amélioration des pratiques de soins. Cela passe par des recommandations de bonnes pratiques en soins palliatifs, des procédures de certification, des recherches épidémiologiques. Il s’agit aussi de favoriser une meilleure diffusion et application des directives anticipées par une organisation adaptée. D’autres nécessitent une volonté et une mobilisation du pouvoir politique dans une optique réformiste. Cela implique une mutation des pratiques, des organisations et de la formation médicales focalisées à l’excès sur le scientifique et le curatif. Ces propositions s’inscrivent dans une optique de santé publique. Elles ne bénéficieraient pas uniquement aux patients en fin de vie, mais à toutes les personnes atteintes de maladies graves, chroniques ou vieillissantes. Leur application requiert un engagement continu et cohérent afin de déplacer les habitudes, les conservatismes ou les oppositions. Le troisième groupe de propositions n’est pas encore précisément défini. Si la commission Sicard ne recommande pas l’ouverture à une dépénalisation de l’euthanasie, elle propose la possibilité de geste létal dans les phases ultimes de l’accompagnement de fin de vie. Ces pratiques seraient encadrées par des recommandations. Sans en faire une recommandation, la commission s’interroge aussi sur l’ouverture au suicide assisté. Dans cette hypothèse, elle souhaite une implication conséquente de la médecine. S’appuyant sur notre expérience de cliniciens, d’enseignants, d’animateurs de groupes d’éthique et de chercheurs, nous proposons une synthèse du rapport Sicard puis une analyse détaillée, pragmatique et critique de ses diverses propositions.
Les dates de vendange à Beaune (1371-2010). Analyse et données d'une nouvelle série vendémiologique
Authors: Labbé Thomas , Gaveau Fabien 
Published: June 2013

Cet article propose la reconstitution d’une nouvelle série inédite de bans de vendange bourguignons, correspondant à la ville de Beaune de 1371 à 2010. Elle est désormais la plus longue série constituée en Europe et vient compléter les données déjà connues de la série « Dijon » (1385-1906). À la tête d’un vignoble considéré comme plus prestigieux depuis la fin du Moyen Âge, une analyse comparative des deux séries suggère que les pratiques de récolte furent plus constantes à Beaune sur le temps long quant à la recherche de la bonne maturité des fruits. Partant, l’influence du facteur social sur la variation des dates de récoltes y semble légèrement moindre, ce que confirme un meilleur coefficient de corrélation entre ces dates de vendange et les températures franciliennes d’avril à septembre depuis 1676. Comme son analogue dijonnaise, cette nouvelle série transcrit assez fidèlement les pulsations connues de l’histoire du climat depuis la fin du xiv e siècle. Disposant enfin de chiffres véritablement comparables pour une seule et même station entre les périodes récentes et anciennes, on relève que les décennies de tous les records en terme de précocité, et donc logiquement de chaleurs printanières et estivales, sont les années 1540 et 1550. Avec notamment trois millésimes ultra précoces (1540-1556-1559), celui de 1556 formant le record absolu de la série, elles constituent bien un précédent vendémiologique aux années 1990 et 2000. Un « très beau mi- xvi e siècle » bourguignon ?
Leur avant-guerre. Jeunesses socialistes en Isère (1938-1940)
Authors: Dereymez Jean-William 
Published: June 2013

De 1938 à 1940, loin de s’étioler, les organisations socialistes, notamment de jeunesse, ont connu une existence dynamique, marquée par des activités régulières, tant « récréatives » que politiques. Les JS constituèrent une pépinière de futurs militants. L’Isère devint alors un des départements où cette vie des JS fut la plus intense. La mobilisation de l’automne 1939 désorganisa bien entendu ces groupes en les privant de cadres. La guerre approchant, ces Jeunesses socialistes, marquées par un pacifisme dont il faut souligner les différentes nuances, peinèrent parfois à mesurer le danger représenté par la politique de l’Allemagne national-socialiste. Comme leurs aînés, qui les considéraient parfois avec méfiance, ils hésitèrent pour finalement choisir, pour nombre d’entre eux, l’Union sacrée devant l’agresseur, pour la liberté et le droit.
Visual Acuity Outcomes in Eyes With Flat Corneas After PRK
Authors: Varssano David , Waisbourd Michael , Minkev Liza , Sela Tzahi , Neudorfer Meira , Binder Perry S. 
Published: June 2013

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the impact of corneal curvatures less than 35 diopters (D) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) on visual acuity outcomes.

METHODS:
Visual acuity outcomes of 5,410 eyes that underwent PRK from January 2006 to November 2010 were retrospectively analyzed for the impact of postoperative corneal curvatures on visual outcomes. All procedures were performed on a single platform (Allegretto 200Hz excimer laser; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Irvine, CA). Main outcome measures were postoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and loss of CDVA.

RESULTS:

Corneas with a measured or a calculated postoperative flat meridian less than 35 D and those with a measured postoperative steep meridian less than 35 D had worse postoperative CDVA than corneas with meridians of either 35 D or more (
P
⩽ .021). However, the preoperative CDVA was worse in the flatter curvatures in all comparisons performed (
P
⩽ .024). Consequently, the measured or calculated meridian curvature had no effect on CDVA loss (
P
⩾ .074).

CONCLUSION:
Postoperative corneal keratometry values (flat and steep meridians) less than 35 D did not have a predictive effect on the risk of losing visual acuity following myopic PRK performed on the Allegretto 200Hz excimer laser.

Rotation Stability of the Cachet Angle-Supported Phakic Intraocular Lens
Authors: Kermani Omid , Oberheide Uwe , Gerten Georg 
Published: June 2013

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the rotational stability of an acrylic angle-supported phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) 12 months after implantation in myopic eyes.

METHODS:
Patients with a history of moderate to high myopia underwent unilateral or bilateral implantation of an acrylic angle-supported PIOL (AcrySof Cachet; Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX). All were followed up for 12 months. IOL rotation was assessed using digital overlay of ocular photographs captured within 2 weeks of implantation and at postoperative month 12. The secondary outcomes of refractive power (spherical equivalent, refractive sphere, and cylinder) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were assessed preoperatively and again at 3 months after implantation.

RESULTS:
Fifty eyes of 28 patients with a mean age of 32 years were included in this retrospective cohort study. All underwent successful IOL implantation and follow-up. A mean 12-month rotation of 11° was observed (standard deviation: 15.1°, range: 0 to 60°). All preoperative measures (mean) of refractive power improved by 3 months postoperatively (spherical equivalent = −0.35 ± 0.79 diopters [D], spherical refraction = 0.04 ± 0.82 D, and cylindrical refraction = −0.77 ± 0.91 D). Two percent of eyes requiring additional laser adjustment by postoperative month 12, primarily due to corneal astigmatism.

CONCLUSION:
The study findings suggest that AcrySof Cachet angle-supported PIOLs offer moderate 1-year rotational stability. Because this type of IOL also corrects myopia effectively, it appears to be a good treatment option for myopic eyes. However, the rotation that occurs makes it unsuitable for cylinder corrections.

Moderate Keratoconus With Thick Corneas
Authors: Berti Thaís Bacha , Ghanem Vinícius Coral , Ghanem Ramon Coral , Binder Perry S. 
Published: June 2013

PURPOSE:

To describe two patients with moderate keratoconus and a corneal thickness exceeding 600
μ
m at the thinnest point.

METHODS:
Case report.

RESULTS:

In the first case, the steepest keratometric power was 51.50 diopters (D) in the right eye and 53.4 in the left eye and the thickness at the thinnest point was 658 and 625
μ
m, respectively. In the second case, the steepest keratometric power was 46.70 D in the right eye and 49.60 D in the left eye and the thickness at the thinnest point was 618 and 608
μ
m, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:
Keratoconus may develop despite a very thick cornea, reinforcing the idea that biomechanical changes can signify an important factor in the development and progression of this pathology.

Round Blue Cell Tumor arising in the Background of Ameloblastic Fibrosarcoma
Authors: Hussain Raza , Loya Asif , Jamshed Arif , Hassan Usman 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTWorld Health Organization (WHO) blue book of head and neck tumors reports 64 cases of ameloblastic fibrosarcoma and 14 cases of ameloblastic fibrodentinosarcoma/fibro-odontosarcoma. We present a unique case that does not fit into any of the WHO classified odontogenic sarcomas. The patient presented in 2006 with a densely sclerotic lesion arising from the left sphenoid bone, displacing the orbital contents and extending up to the inferior margin of the maxillary sinus. He was treated with left maxillectomy orbital exenteration. He relapsed 6 years later, salvage surgery was unsuccessful and subsequent care was supportive. Histologically the malignant neoplasm showed follicles comprising of peripheral columnar cells lined up in palisaded fashion with hyperchromatic nuclei displaced away from basement membrane. Center of the follicles comprised of spindle-shaped cells resembling stellate reticulum. Intervening areas showed fibrosarcomatous areas. Other areas revealed predominant sheets of round cells having hyperchromatic nuclei, inconspicuous nucleoli and scant cytoplasm. These round cells revealed strong membranous positivity for CD99.How to cite this articleHussain R, Hassan U, Jamshed A, Loya A.

Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTThyroglossal cyst is a congenital condition of the neck where the painless swelling is found in the midline of the neck in between the foramen cecum of tongue base and sternal notch. Condition is common in children.Thyroglossal fistula is either secondary to infection or drainage of a misdiagnosed abscess.Here we are presenting a case of thyroglossal fistula with its opening over the chest and a cord extending from the hyoid bone to the chest causing restriction of the neck movement. Thyroglossal fistula opening in the chest, i.e. over the sternum is very rare and not been reported in any literatures.Treatment of this type of thyroglossal fistula is same as other types, i.e. Sistrunk's operation, where tract along with part of the hyoid bone is to be removed to prevent recurrence. We are reporting this case for its rare occurrence.How to cite this articleRout MR, Mohanty D, Bobba K, Meta C, Karri S. Presternal Thyroglossal Fistula: A Rare Case Report.

Dentigerous Cyst of Mandible
Authors: Aggarwal Priyanka , Sohal Barjinder Singh , Uppal Kuljit Singh 
Published: June 2013

ABSTRACT
Dentigerous cyst of mandible is a rare entity in routine clinical practice. A dentigerous or follicular cyst is formed from the accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the completely formed tooth crown or in the layers of the reduced enamel epithelium. Pulp necrosis is a commonly observed sequel in traumatized primary teeth and is one of the possible etiologic factors for the development of dentigerous teeth. The dentigerous cyst is found in children and adolescents; the highest incidence is in the second and third decades. This article reports the case of a dentigerous cyst associated with the germ of a permanent mandibular right lower canine. The therapeutic approach included endodontic treatment of the primary tooth and marsupialization of the lesion. In conclusion, with proper case selection, marsupialization might be a good treatment option for conservative management of dentigerous cysts.

Published: June 2013

ABSTRACTThe common carotid artery usually bifurcates into the internal and external carotid arteries at the level of C3-C4. Injury to common carotid artery during neck dissection is encountered rarly. Knowing the anatomical variation of common carotid like low lying bifurcation would prevent inadvertent injury especially by budding head-neck surgeons. We report a case of 46-yearold male undergoing surgery for carcinoma of tongue with Supraomohyoid neck dissection. He had low-lying bifurcation of the common carotid artery.How to cite this articleChauhan YS, Mukherji S. An Anatomical Variant: Low Lying Common Carotid Artery Bifurcation.

"Walking Like a Crab": Analyzing Maskanda Music in Post-Apartheid South Africa
Authors: Titus Barbara 
Published: June 2013

Abstract
This article addresses a South African music genre: maskanda, often marketed as "Zulu blues." It describes the various ways maskanda is musically analyzed and interpreted by musicians, audiences, producers, and scholars, including myself. By treating music analysis as a form of participant observation (and indigenizing my own analytical conventions) the article aims, foremostly, to foster a cross-cultural dialogue about musical experiences (hearings) and the practices of finding words for these experiences (conceptualizations). Music analysis as participant observation also sheds light on local historiographies, critiques, and structural analyses of maskanda, and it bridges the artificial academic dichotomy of object-related observation (music analysis) and discourserelated theorization (cultural analysis) that still impairs much music research.
Trends in Laboratory Test Volumes for Medicare Part B Reimbursements, 2000–2010

Published: June 2013

Context.—Changes in reimbursements for clinical laboratory testing may help us assess the effect of various variables, such as testing recommendations, market forces, changes in testing technology, and changes in clinical or laboratory practices, and provide information that can influence health care and public health policy decisions. To date, however, there has been no report, to our knowledge, of longitudinal trends in national laboratory test use.Objective.—To evaluate Medicare Part B–reimbursed volumes of selected laboratory tests per 10 000 enrollees from 2000 through 2010.Design.—Laboratory test reimbursement volumes per 10 000 enrollees in Medicare Part B were obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (Baltimore, Maryland). The ratio of the most recent (2010) reimbursed test volume per 10 000 Medicare enrollees, divided by the oldest data (usually 2000) during this decade, called the volume ratio, was used to measure trends in test reimbursement. Laboratory tests with a reimbursement claim frequency of at least 10 per 10 000 Medicare enrollees in 2010 were selected, provided there was more than a 50% change in test reimbursement volume during the 2000–2010 decade. We combined the reimbursed test volumes for the few tests that were listed under more than one code in the Current Procedural Terminology (American Medical Association, Chicago, Illinois). A 2-sided Poisson regression, adjusted for potential overdispersion, was used to determine P values for the trend; trends were considered significant at P &lt; .05.Results.—Tests with the greatest decrease in reimbursement volumes were electrolytes, digoxin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, and lithium, with volume ratios ranging from 0.27 to 0.64 (P &lt; .001). Tests with the greatest increase in reimbursement volumes were meprobamate, opiates, methadone, phencyclidine, amphetamines, cocaine, and vitamin D, with volume ratios ranging from 83 to 1510 (P &lt; .001).Conclusions.—Although reimbursement volumes increased for most of the selected tests, other tests exhibited statistically significant downward trends in annual reimbursement volumes. The observed changes in reimbursement volumes may be explained by disease prevalence and severity, patterns of drug use, clinical or laboratory practices, and testing recommendations and guidelines, among others. These data may be useful to policy makers, health systems researchers, laboratory directors, and industry scientists to understand, address, and anticipate trends in laboratory testing in the Medicare population.
Assessment of Chronic Postsurgical Pain After Knee Replacement: A Systematic Review
Authors: Wylde Vikki , Bruce Julie , Beswick Andrew , Elvers Karen , Gooberman‐Hill Rachael 
Published: June 2013

ObjectiveApproximately 20% of patients experience chronic pain after total knee replacement (TKR), yet there is no consensus about how best to assess such pain. This systematic review aimed to identify measures used to characterize chronic pain after TKR.MethodsMEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases were searched for research articles published in all languages from January 2002 to November 2011. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they assessed knee pain at a minimum of 3 months after TKR, yielding a total of 1,164 articles. The data extracted included the study design, country, timings of assessments, and outcome measures containing pain items. The outcome measures were compared with domains recommended by the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) for inclusion in the assessment of chronic pain–related outcomes within clinical trials. Temporal trends were also explored.ResultsThe review found use of a wide variety of composite and single‐item measures, with the American Knee Society Score the most common. Many measures used in published studies did not capture the multidimensional nature of pain recommended by the IMMPACT; of those commonly used, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and Oxford Knee Score were the most comprehensive. Geographic trends were evident, with nation‐specific preferences for particular measures. A recent reduction in the use of some clinically administered tools was accompanied by an increased use of patient‐reported outcome measures.ConclusionThere was wide variation in the methods of pain assessment alongside nation‐specific preferences and changing temporal trends in pain assessment after TKR. Standardization and improvements in assessment are needed to enhance the quality of research and facilitate the establishment of a core outcome set.
Evaluation of Histologic, Serologic, and Clinical Changes in Response to Abatacept Treatment of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: A Pilot Study
Authors: Adler Sabine , Körner Meike , Förger Frauke , Huscher Dörte , Caversaccio Marco‐Domenico , Villiger Peter M. 
Published: June 2013

ObjectiveTo prospectively evaluate histopathologic, blood cellular, serologic, and clinical changes in response to abatacept treatment in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS).MethodsBlood, saliva, and minor salivary gland biopsy samples were obtained before and after the last of 8 doses of abatacept in 11 primary SS patients. The histologic data evaluated the numbers of lymphocytic foci and B and T cell subtypes (CD20+, CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+). The numbers of FoxP3+ regulatory T cells were measured and the FoxP3:CD3 ratio was calculated. Histologic data were compared with results from peripheral blood and with changes in saliva secretion.ResultsThe numbers of lymphocytic foci decreased significantly (P = 0.041). Numbers of local FoxP3+ T cells decreased significantly in percentage of total lymphocytic infiltrates (P = 0.037). In the peripheral blood, B cells increased (P = 0.038). This was due to an expansion of the naive B cell pool (P = 0.034). When adjusting for disease duration, an increase was also noted for total lymphocytes (P = 0.044) and for CD4 cells (P = 0.009). Gamma globulins decreased significantly (P = 0.005), but IgG reduction did not reach significance. Adjusted for disease duration, saliva production increased significantly (P = 0.029).ConclusionCTLA‐4Ig treatment significantly reduces glandular inflammation in primary SS, induces several cellular changes, and increases saliva production. Remarkably, this increase in saliva production is significantly influenced by disease duration.
