La Cour constitutionnelle fédérale allemande vue de France – quelques perspectives
Authors: Gaillet Aurore 
Published: July 2024

Alors que la Cour constitutionnelle fédérale allemande fêtera bientôt ses soixante-quinze ans, son prestige et son rayonnement sont considérés comme sans pareil en Europe. L’article s’interroge sur sa perception « vue de France », en s’appuyant sur les regards de la doctrine, et en intégrant le résultat d’entretiens menés auprès de juges, d’anciens membres et de membres actuels du Conseil constitutionnel. Ces « vues de France » permettent de s’interroger sur les différences et rapprochements possibles entre ces deux institutions dont les spécificités structurelles se comprennent à la lumière du contexte historique de leur création et des cultures juridiques respectives. La perspective est en outre développée dans une direction européenne plus large : dans le cadre du « réseau européen des cours constitutionnelles », le rôle de la Cour constitutionnelle fédérale allemande est assurément considéré comme fondamental, pour sa jurisprudence – tour à tour saluée et critiquée – comme pour sa qualité de partenaire, avec laquelle le développement de relations étroites est particulièrement précieux, en nos temps de crise de l’État de droit.

Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Equipped with Thermal Cameras to Survey a Known Population of White-Tailed Deer
Authors: Pfeffer Deanna G. , Foster Justin A. , Kinsey John C. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
New technologies are emerging that may have potential for yielding more reliable population estimates for white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus than traditional manned aerial surveys. In a study conducted in a 116.55-ha enclosure in the Edwards Plateau ecoregion of Texas, USA, we tested the accuracy and precision of population counts by using an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a dual thermal–red green blue (heat detection and color video) camera to conduct a complete area count of a known, closed population of white-tailed deer. We flew surveys during 2–4 December 2019 in preprogrammed transects and replicated them three times, in both the morning and afternoon. Detection was higher during morning surveys, when we detected almost all deer that were present, compared with afternoon surveys. The accuracy and precision of morning surveys reported herein justify further research into the development of a method using this equipment for surveying large mammal populations in certain habitats.
Miguel de Molina dans Ésta es mi vida (1952) de Román Viñoly Barreto : le cinéma, de concert avec la musique, ou les multiples possibles du vrai et du faux
Authors: Le Vagueresse Emmanuel 
Published: July 2024

Nous souhaitons montrer ici comment le long-métrage de fiction argentin Ésta es mi vida de Román Viñoly Barreto (1952) est l’exemple d’une mise en scène filmique spécifique, inventive et sophistiquée, de l’art musical transsubstantié sur grand écran, coïncidant aussi avec la seconde carrière du chanteur espagnol de coplas (chanson et genre musical populaire espagnol, influencés principalement par le flamenco) Miguel Frías de Molina (Málaga, 1908–Buenos Aires, 1993), après des moments très difficiles vécus par ce dernier. C’est ce qui donne à l’écran un résultat à la fois étonnant et passionnant, et pas seulement pour les libertés prises par ce musical à propos de la biographie « réelle » de l’artiste. Des libertés que n’importe quel art a le droit de prendre, bien entendu, vis-à-vis de « la vraie vie ». On remarquera aussi qu’avec un tel film, on parvient à une sorte de « spectacle total », un peu comme Wagner le souhaitait avec ses opéras à Bayreuth, suivant en cela le projet de Gesamtkunstwerk – « œuvre d’art totale », justement, en allemand – élaboré par les romantiques allemands au xixe siècle. Ainsi, entre musique (et chant, danse) et cinéma, mais aussi jeu (voir les occurrences du jeu dans le film) sur les genres, Ésta es mi vida est une sorte de film hybride, entre miroirs ou reflets plus ou moins fidèles et mises en abyme de la même eau, à la limite de l’intermédialité, pour notre plus grand plaisir, et de spectateur et de chercheur.
Quand les textes et les sols se taisent : le cas de Cencelle (Tarquinia, Italie, ixe-xve siècles)
Authors: Stasolla Francesca Romana , Nardi Combescure Sara 
Published: July 2024

Les résultats des fouilles archéologiques, comparés à l’iconographie et aux textes médiévaux, fournissent de multiples croisements permettant de mieux cerner la civilisation matérielle, dans la perspective d’obtenir une vision globale et évolutive. Si l’historien et l’archéologue ont longtemps minoré « les illustrations », ces dernières sont aujourd’hui prises en compte comme des sources documentaires à part entière. Une étude intégrant textes, images et résultats de fouilles s’avère nécessaire dans le cas de Cencelle, cité médiévale italienne. Cencelle fait l’objet de fouilles depuis plus de trente ans, et nous a fourni un nombre important de données archéologiques relatives à la vie quotidienne de ses habitants. Le Moyen Âge italien est notamment riche en sources iconographiques, qui renvoient aux différents aspects de la vie urbaine, ce qui fait de Cencelle un cas d’étude particulièrement intéressant. Le recours à l’iconographie nous permet ainsi de mieux cerner certains aspects liés au contexte social et économique de la cité, comme ses loisirs ou ses croyances. À titre d’exemple, les croyances liées aux rites funéraires seront évoquées à la fin de cet article.
Les écrits de Cratès de Thèbes selon Diogène Laërce
Authors: Gugliermina Isabelle 
Published: July 2024

Pourquoi Diogène Laërce ne rend-il pas compte de toute la produc­tion littéraire de Cratès et en traite-t-il autrement qu’il ne le fait pour Antisthène et Diogène ? Plusieurs réponses s’avèrent plausibles : soucieux d’équilibrer les différentes parties de son ouvrage, il omet volontairement des textes qui consti­tueraient des redites par rapport à ceux qu’il a déjà cités ; choisissant Antisthène comme fondateur du cynisme, il passe sciemment sous silence des textes de Cra­tès qui, le rapprochant davantage de Diogène, mettraient en relief la place pré­pondérante de ce dernier au sein du mouvement cynique ; enfin, cherchant à produire un nouvel ouvrage d’historiographie de la philosophie, c’est à dessein qu’il néglige les sources étrangères à cette discipline.
An Audit of Histopathological Pattern of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma - A Retrospective Study
Authors: Sahoo Nanda Kishore , Mowar Apoorva , Dubey Prajesh , Maheshwari Isha 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a type of reactive hyperplastic lesion in the oral cavity that develops due to local irritation or chronic trauma, originating from the periosteum or periodontal membrane. It primarily affects the alveolar mucosa of the posterior mandibular region and has a peak incidence in the age range of the fourth to sixth decades of life, with a 2:1 female predilection. The aim of the study was to analyse the histopathological pattern of peripheral giant cell granuloma.

Materials and Methods:
This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital from 2018 to 2023 after obtaining the required institutional ethical board approval (SMC/UECM/2023/627/296). All the cases of maxillofacial lesions referred/reported to and which conformed to the set inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. Data were analysed by calculating the percentage of the variables. IBM SPSS version 20 software was used to analyse the descriptive data.

Results:
Out of 12 patients, four were males and eight were females. The age ranged from 20 to 60 years with an average age of 40 years. All the patients included in the study showed multinucleated giant cells and inflammatory cells, 83.3% showed fibrous stroma and 50% showed para-keratinisation and haemosiderin pigments.

Discussion:
PGCG, a reparative lesion, seems to occur mostly in the 40–60 years of life with female predilection and commonly seen histopathological features included multinuclear giant cells, inflammatory cells in all cases, 83.3% fibrous stroma and 50% both para-keratinisation and haemosiderin pigments.

Authors: Ansari Umair Hussain , Mcneilage Amy Gray , Ashton-James Claire Elizabeth , Campbell Jake , Wong Eugene , Lim Lydia 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Understanding patient motivations and expectations of orthognathic surgery are critical aspects of the perioperative assessment, as these factors have been demonstrated to influence patient satisfaction with surgical outcomes.

Materials and Methods:
Consecutive patients undergoing orthognathic surgery by a tertiary oral and maxillofacial surgeon underwent two structured interviews to explore their pre-operative motivations for orthognathic surgery, their post-operative reflections on the surgery and their outcomes. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.

Results:
Eighteen patients were recruited and interviewed preoperatively, and seven completed interviews postoperatively. Pre-operative themes describe patient hopes for aesthetic improvements, socio-emotional improvements, functional improvements and reduced pain, as well as fears about surgical risks, surgical recovery and changing appearance. Post-operative themes describe the challenging recovery process, the absence of regrets and functional, aesthetic and socio-emotional improvements.

Discussion:
Orthognathic surgery patients may be motivated by functional, aesthetic and socio-emotional improvements before surgery.
Anesthesia-free In-office Hysteroscopic Morcellation for Endometrial Polyps: A Prospective Study
Authors: Hiratsuka Daiki , Tsuchiya Akira , Fujimoto Akihisa , Nishii Osamu 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Objectives:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and quality of anesthesia-free in-office hysteroscopic morcellation for the treatment of endometrial polyps.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective, single-center, open-label, single-arm clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of hysteroscopic morcellation for endometrial polyps or retained products of conception. All surgical procedures were performed using the TruClear™ 5C system in the office setting without anesthesia. The primary endpoint was the success rate of surgery, defined as the completion of the operation. The secondary endpoints were operating time, fluid deficit, adverse events, pain evaluated by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, and recurrence rate.

Results:
Ninety-five patients underwent hysteroscopic morcellation without anesthesia and received the treatment. The success rate of surgery was 100% (95/95), and the mean operating time was 7.3 min. Adverse events occurred in only 2.1% (2/95), with vasovagal reflex. The mean VAS scores during the procedure ranged from 2.4 to 3.1, and the recurrence rate after 6 months was 2.1% (1/47), with a pregnancy rate of 33% (11/33). When comparing nulliparous and parous patients, the success rate and the operating time were equivalent, and the mean VAS scores during the procedure were both within tolerable levels but significantly higher in nulliparous patients (3.3–4.5 vs. 1.6–1.9, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that anesthesia-free in-office hysteroscopic morcellation for endometrial polyps can be safely performed with feasible quality and only tolerable pain. This less-invasive procedure is expected to become more widespread in future.

Authors: Sherpa Dicky , Samanta Koustav , Dutta Gouranga , Halder Pankaj Kumar 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Pancreatic injury following blunt abdominal trauma is rare (<2%) in the pediatric population and is often catastrophic and difficult to diagnose. For the appropriate management of pancreatic injury proper assessment and diagnosis are essential. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who had Grade III pancreatic injury following blunt abdominal trauma after a fall from a tree. The child came 2 days after the incident and had a speedy recovery on emergency surgical intervention in the form of spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy with a satisfactory outcome.

Authors: Shivaswamy Rajendra Prasad , Inaganti Nithin Sai , Varsha Tandure , Ashok P , Adarsh L. S , Kiran H. S , Chandra B. J Subhash 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
The ability to predict the fate of critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit is very important as there are only a few studies which have focused on this aspect. Our study focused to determine the relationship between C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) and lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) and intensive care unit stay, the requirement for vasopressor and mechanical ventilator support, and recovery and mortality in the patients admitted to critical care units.

Methods:
The study group comprised 100 patients who were admitted to critical care units. These patients were evaluated using a structured proforma, detailed case history, and clinical examination. Blood sample collection was done immediately after admission, and serum albumin, lactate, and C-reactive protein levels were estimated in these patients.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 54.05. 74% of the patients were males. The common diagnosis was COVID bronchopneumonia. The patients with high LAR and high CAR values had either increased risk of mortality or increased duration of stay in the hospital (P = 0.0001). Patients with a low albumin level and high CRP required ventilator support, which was statistically significant. Patients who needed inotropic support and mechanical ventilator support had higher CAR (P = 0.001). Patients who received inotrope support had higher ESR and CRP levels.

Conclusions:
CAR and LAR are better indicators of mortality and duration of stay. CAR was found to be a better indicator of mortality than LAR, and it was also noted that the patients who required inotropes and mechanical ventilator support were found to have a higher CAR.

Authors: Murty Pemmaraju R. , Pasagadugula Venkata K. , Begum Dilruba , Sravani Kalagarla 
Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT
Glomus bodies are highly specialized arteriovenous anastomoses that are responsible for thermoregulation by regulating the blood flow. Glomus tumor consists of vascular channels and glomus piles separated by connective tissue stroma. Approximately, 75% of all tumors occur in subungual tissues of fingers. Glomus tumors in foot are uncommon. We report a case of glomus tumor in a young male who is having pain in the left great toe since 5 years duration. For diagnosis, MRI and excisional biopsy were done. After excision of tumor, the complaints of the patient were relieved.

Published: July 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Several pneumonia cases caused by new corona virus were reported in Wuhan, China, since December 2019. This evolved into global pandemic and the World Health Organization (WHO) named this virus as severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS COV-2) by the WHO. Corona viruses can manifest many infections such as respiratory, neurologic, and hepatic diseases.

Materials and Methods:
This is a prospective study conducted in a tertiary hospital from March 2020 to January 2021. A total of 8017 cases were included in the study. The complete blood counts data were collected from records and analyzed. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were calculated.

Results:
The laboratory parameters studied in 8017 cases showed the following results, the NLR and PLR ratios were increased in most of the cases 45.4% and 61.5%, respectively. Also lymphopenia was seen in maximum cases (46.6%). The remaining parameters such as hemoglobin, total counts, and platelet count were in normal range in most of the cases, that is, 67.7%, 68.7%, and 81.3%, respectively.

Conclusion:
Our study examined the hematological parameters of large number of cases of SARS–COVID-19 patients. The significant findings of the study were that higher values of NLR, PLR, leucocytosis, neutrophilia, lymphopenia, and thrombocytosis were observed in good number of cases. Hence, lymphocytes, NLR, and PLR ratios can be used to predict the severity of disease.
UNITED NATION’S ROLE IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION: AN ANALYSIS OF PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT
Authors: Mamoona Bashir  
Published: July 2024

The main purpose of the establishment of the UN is to ensure global amity and security in the world. The international body is primarily mandated to achieve international peace through peaceful means. It can even resort to the use of force if the peaceful intervention fails to achieve the goals of peace and stability and the issue has potential threats to world peace. The main institutions of the United Nations i.e. General Assembly, the Security Council and the International Court of Justice are responsible for the maintenance of peace and stability in the world. The UN Secretariat acts as the center for coordination for operation of the UN main organs and agencies in different regions in the world. The issue of Palestine is one of the continuing disputes on the UN’s agenda associated with it since its establishment. The perpetuation of the unresolved conflict between Israel and the people of Palestine has raised questions on the role of international peace keeping body in Middle East. Keeping in view the gravity and potential threats associated with the issue, this study critically examined the UN’s role in conflict resolution efforts in the Palestinian- Israeli conflict. Qualitative inquiry was opted in this study that involves employing literature review for data gathering, especially documents of UN related to Palestine. The data was analysed using an inductive approach, which involved the extraction of its concepts from the bulk of specific detail that makes up the database. US being influential member of Security Council, has effectively prevented the United Nations from participating in negotiations regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since 1967 by exercising its right to veto any binding resolutions on the issue. The analysis indicates that the United Nations' involvement in this conflict is restricted to humanitarian aid. The future success of the UN in this conflict depends on a renewed global commitment, impartial involvement with both parties.
Implementasi Hukum Adat dalam Pembagian dan Penyelesaian Sengketa Waris pada Masyarakat Minangkabau: Studi Kasus Kerapatan Adat Pagaruyung
Authors: Karimah Ismatul , Gunawan Ade 
Published: July 2024

Indonesia also recognizes customary inheritance law that encompasses a variety of different traditions and legal systems, depending on the ethnic group and region. Referring to inheritance law in Minangkabau, the indigenous community is known for its matrilineal kinship system, where lineage and inheritance are inherited through the mother's lineage. This study aims to determine the implementation of the distribution of customary inheritance law in Minangkabau indigenous peoples. This research uses the Normative-Empirical method, because the researcher combines elements of normative and empirical law, and the author also examines a legal case from an interview with the Chairman of the Nagari Pagaruyuang Customary Density. In Minangkabau society, the applicable inheritance law is different from inheritance law in civil law, the kinship system adopted is a matrilineal kinship system with the distribution of inheritance in the form of sako and pusako. Dispute resolution involves the active role of the customary clan/elder as mediator, decision-maker, and implementation of the decision. Inheritance disputes in Minangkabau society are a complex phenomenon involving various cultural, social and legal factors. Minangkabau customary law plays a central role in regulating inheritance distribution and conflict resolution. Values such as kinship, social justice and deliberation are key principles in this process, with deliberation as a means to reach mutual agreement in dispute resolution.

Published: July 2024

A Hemimelia Tibial Bilateral corresponde a uma rara anomalia encontrada em recém-nascidos com ausência congênita da tíbia, podendo estar associada a várias outras malformações. Neste trabalho, relatamos um caso de um recém-nascido, sexo masculino, nascido de 38 semanas e 5 dias de vida, de mãe previamente hígida, sem intercorrências durante período gestacional, com ultrassom pré-natal evidenciando feto com pé torto congênito bilateral. Durante o exame físico ortopédico, o paciente apresentava ambos os joelhos flexionados e mantidos a 30°, o terço distal do membro inferior direito apresentava-se aduzido, com o pé direito totalmente invertido e supinado. O pé esquerdo parcialmente invertido e supinado. Proeminência óssea no aspecto lateral da articulação do tornozelo bilateral foi visualizada. O raio x de pernas revelou articulação coxofemoral normal. A extremidade inferior do fêmur normal e a patela presente em ambos os lados. Na perna esquerda a ausência completa da tíbia foi observada, e na perna direita foi observada ausência da tíbia com pequena anlage cartilaginosa. A fíbula estava presente em ambas as pernas sem sinais de duplicação. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso de Hemimelia Tibial Bilateral, destacando-se a baixa incidência da anomalia frente aos demais casos e com importante impacto no desenvolvimento da criança, tornando necessária uma avaliação e condução multiprofissional e especializada frente aos diversos tratamentos.
