L’embourgeoisement, moteur du changement social en banlieue populaire au tournant du XXIe siècle
Authors: Clech Pauline 
Published: June 2024

Depuis la désindustrialisation, la question du changement social en banlieue populaire alimente une abondante littérature sociologique. À la suite des recherches françaises récentes étudiant la dimension spatiale des rapports sociaux, cet article propose une clarification conceptuelle des catégories sociologiques pour analyser le changement social « par le haut » en banlieue populaire. À partir d’une analyse statistique et cartographique du changement social affectant l’espace de la première couronne parisienne au début du XXIe siècle, cet article invite à sortir du binarisme pour analyser les transformations sociales en cours, ainsi qu’à distinguer les processus de gentrification (mineur) et d’embourgeoisement (majeur). Ce faisant, l’article montre l’utilité d’articuler les théories du changement socio-spatial, des classes sociales et de la mobilité sociale, en combinant l’échelle métropolitaine, locale et individuelle. À une analyse classique de la morphologie sociale localisée, il articule celle des stratégies d’accumulation pour stabiliser la position de classe.
« La plaine est morte et la ville la mange » : l’urbanisation planétaire vue de l’arrière-pays rural de Rabat-Salé-Témara (Maroc)
Authors: Amarouche Maryame , Rousseau Max , Salik Kawtar 
Published: June 2024

Au Maroc, pays profondément touché par la métropolisation, les zones agricoles situées à la périphérie des grandes villes subissent de rapides transformations économiques, sociales et paysagères. Ces changements sont particulièrement critiques pour le pays où l’agriculture et, plus généralement, la « ruralité » gardent une importance vitale. Au croisement du rural et de l’urbain, les périphéries sont prises entre une approche néolibérale, qui au nom de l’accumulation renforce l’assèchement des campagnes et l’étalement urbain, et une approche autoritaire, qui vise à préserver l’ordre social et politique impliquant de garder un œil sur la communauté rurale qui a traditionnellement soutenu le régime. Pour explorer cette contradiction, nous nous intéressons à la conurbation de Rabat-Salé-Témara. La première partie s’intéresse aux rapports de force entre les principaux acteurs de l’aménagement du territoire, afin d’analyser les contradictions affectant la fabrique des espaces périphériques. La deuxième partie expose les conséquences de ces rapports de force à travers les modèles de la ville nouvelle (Tamesna) et du grand projet (Bouregreg). La dernière partie analyse les enjeux de la reconfiguration des politiques étatiques face aux mutations produites par l’extension urbaine, en enquêtant dans deux communes rurales de deuxième couronne : Shoul et Sidi-Yahya-des-Zaërs (ZYS).
« Fini de jouer ». Entretien sur la sécurité dans les cercles anti-Jeux olympiques et paralympiques Paris 2024
Authors: Picaud Myrtille , Adam Matthieu 
Published: June 2024

Organisés tous les quatre ans, les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques (JOP) transforment les villes où ils ont lieu et font évoluer les législations des pays qui les accueillent. Les JOP 2024, qui se déroulent à Paris à l’été 2024 ne font pas exception. Leurs effets sont multiples sur les plans économiques, politiques, sociaux et environnementaux. Parce que ces effets peuvent être analysés comme inégalitaires et autoritaires, les JOP sont la cible de critiques et de contestations. Dans cet entretien avec des membres de quatre collectifs mobilisés, à Marseille et à Saint-Denis, contre les JOP de Paris 2024, nous revenons sur la contestation des politiques de sécurité qui les accompagnent, qu’il s’agisse de vidéosurveillance, de contrôle policier ou de militarisation de l’espace. Nous discutons d’abord des formes — collecte d’informations, formation de collectifs, actions — que prend la contestation d’un évènement le plus souvent présenté comme populaire et rassembleur. Nous échangeons ensuite sur la construction des discours critiques des JOP, en France et ailleurs, et plus spécifiquement sur les enjeux de sécurité qui y sont liés. Nous concluons enfin sur l’écho qu’ont rencontré les militant.es, à la fois auprès de la population et des relais médiatiques.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:

Otitis externa is the inflammation or infection of the skin of the external auditory canal, may be acute, subacute, or chronic and usually manifests by itching of the ear, otalgia, otorrhoea, aural fullness, and hearing loss. The causative agent is usually bacteria and occasionally fungi but may be associated with a variety of noninfective systemic or local dermatological conditions such as eczema, seborrhea, and contact dermatitis.

Aim:
This study aimed to determine the risk factors, bacterial profile, and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates from patients with Otitis externa.

Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted on 100 patients with Otitis externa. The ear discharge specimens were collected and analyzed by standard microbial techniques. The antibiotic susceptibility profiles were determined for 12 different antibiotics by the standard disk diffusion method. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 25 and the P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
The age of the 100 participants ranges from 4 to 57 years with a mean age of 18.78 ± 10.67 standard deviation, and the commonly affected age group was 11–20 years. Pathogens were isolated from 77 (62.1%) of the patients. The predominant isolate was Pseudomonas aeruginosa 32 (41.6%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus 13 (16.9%), others include Proteus mirabilis 7 (9.0%), Peptostreptococcus species 5 (6.5%), Escherichia coli 4 (5.2%), Streptococcus pneumonia 4 (5.2%), Klebsiella pneumonia 3 (3.9%), Streptococcus pyogenes 3 (3.9%), Enterobacter aerogenes 2 (2.6%), Fusobacterium species 2 (2.6%), and Bacteroides 2 (2.6%). Ofloxacin showed good susceptibility to isolated aerobes 65 (95.6%), followed by gentamicin 52 (76.5%) and ceftriaxone 50 (73.5%). All isolated anaerobes showed 100% susceptibility to metronidazole and clindamycin. Bacterial isolates identified in this study showed a trend of multiple drug susceptibility, majority (70%) being susceptible to three or more antimicrobials.

Conclusions:
Majority of the bacterial isolates were susceptible to more than one antimicrobial agent, hence efforts to isolate microorganisms and determine the susceptibility pattern should be strengthened to improve the treatment outcome of Otitis externa instead of the usual trend of empirical treatment.
Pediatric hearing screening: Exploring the need for a three-tier screening strategy
Authors: Das Soumyajit 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Pediatric hearing impairment is a global health problem and has implications on the individual as well as the society. Undiagnosed hearing impairment has immense economic burden on the family, society, and nation. The challenge lies in diagnosing pediatric hearing impairment early so that effective treatment or rehabilitation can be initiated. Even though universal newborn hearing screening has been implemented in many countries, yet the coverage of the program has not been uniform throughout. Further, many cases of childhood deafness are known to manifest later in the school going age. As such, reliance on hearing screening in the newborn period alone will lead to many undiagnosed cases of hearing impairment. Therefore, a viewpoint is provided here for a three-tiered screening strategy so that maximum cases of hearing impairment can be diagnosed and effective treatment can be initiated, thereby reducing the global economic burden of pediatric hearing impairment.

Authors: Jasti Navya , Arepalli Santhosh Kumar , Gopal G. Sivaram , Prasad V. Anjaneya , Ganti Eswar , Kadiyala Praneeth , Krishna Vadana Bala Murali 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We studied five patients who presented with complaints of swelling of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ), with pain and restriction of shoulder movements in some. There was no clinical or imaging evidence of pulmonary involvement in any of these patients. The diagnosis of SCJ tuberculosis (TB) was ascertained by histopathological evidence (n = 2), by Xpert MTB/RIF (n = 1) and based on clinical presentation and response to anti-TB treatment (n = 2). On follow-up, all patients had responded well to anti-TB treatment. TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with subacute/chronic SCJ arthritis, with or without pulmonary involvement, especially in high TB burden countries.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:
Pregnant women with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 disease 2019 [COVID-19] appear to be at greater risk of morbidity and mortality complications in pregnancy.

Objective:
This prospective analysis aimed to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes among hospitalized pregnant women with COVID-19.

Methods:
The present prospective study included COVID-19-positive pregnant women referred to our tertiary care centre. Data related to demographics, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, laboratory parameters, histopathological findings, procedure, treatment regimen and clinical outcomes were recorded. and analysed. We studied maternal and neonatal outcomes among hospitalised pregnant women with COVID-19.

Results:
During the period from April 2020 to April 2022, we studied 83 women clinically diagnosed with COVID-19. Placenta previa (n = 3), decrease in foetal movement (n = 2) and premature rupture of membranes (n = 1) were observed among pregnant women with COVID-19. A total of 31 women had pre-term delivery (<37 weeks gestation), 33 had normal term delivery (>37–<40 weeks gestation) and two had post-term delivery (>40 weeks gestation). Of these 83 patients, 17.6% had pneumonia, 14.7% had hypothyroidism, 8.8% had gestational diabetes mellitus and 5.9% had gestational hypertension. Elevated baseline C-reactive protein (21.6 mg/dL) and interleukin-6 (16.6 pg/mL) levels were observed. Mother-to-child COVID-19 transmission was observed in one neonate. The length of hospital stay had ranged from 2 to 77 days in COVID-19 positive mothers. Eighty two patients (98.8%) were managed conservatively and were successfully discharged.

Conclusions:
Our observations suggest that pregnant women with COVID-19 have a significant impact on maternal health and pregnancy outcomes.

Authors: Neethu Francis , Arun Kizhakkepurakkal Vijayan , Pulluvelickal Mohanan Kesavan , Ajith Thekkuttuparambil Ananthanarayanan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:
Hypocalcaemia following thyroidectomy is a relatively common complication, which is sometimes difficult to correct.

Methods:
In this cohort study, we assessed the predictive factors for laboratory hypocalcaemia and symptomatic in patients who underwent thyroidectomy between January 2018–June 2019.

Results:
A total of 170 patients (153 women) were studied. Laboratory hypocalcaemia was found in 91.2% of patients, while 62.7% manifested symptomatic hypocalcaemia. Of the patients with symptomatic hypocalcaemia/(36%) had hypomagnesaemia as well. Univariate analysis revealed that type of disease (P = 0.0001), duration of surgery (P = 0.001), duration of disease (P = 0.005), type of surgery (P = 0.032) and hypomagnesaemia (P = 0.002) were significantly associated with hypocalcaemia. Age did not play a key role in the development of hypocalcaemia. Hypocalcaemia did not respond to supplementation without correcting the hypomagnesaemia.

Conclusions:
Type of disease, duration of disease, duration of surgery, type of surgery and hypomagnesaemia were risk factors. Age did not play a key role in the development of hypocalcaemia. Hypocalcaemia did not respond to supplementation without correcting the hypomagnesaemia. Adequate intervention can be started earlier to reduce the duration of hospital stay.

Authors: Konakanchi Sai Venkat , Chalamalasetty Manoj Kumar 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:
Hypertension is a serious public health issue in the general population, with a considerable proportion of cases inadequately being treated.

Methods:
This hospital-based prospective study was carried out at our tertiary care teaching hospital between November 2019 and November 2021. One hundred patients who were recently diagnosed to have hypertension were studied.

Results:
The age of the subjects ranged from 31 to 78 years with a mean age of 49 years. Of these, 40% were in the 40–49 years’ age group; there were 68 males. The body mass index (BMI, Kg/m2) distribution of the study subjects showed 22% with normal weight, 62% in overweight and 16% in obese category. Microalbuminuria was evident in 28% of newly diagnosed hypertensives. The sex-wise distribution of microalbuminuria revealed that 17 of 68 males (25%) and 11 of 32 females (34.4%) had microalbuminuria.

Conclusions:
The chronicity of hypertension, age and BMI were the main factors determining microalbuminuria.

Authors: Narayan Ankitha Teja , Savith Akshatha , Madhuri M. S. , Kumar R. Mahesh , Halambar C. Jithendra 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the joints along with various other extra-articular manifestations. Mortality due to coronary artery disease is higher in patients with RA when compared to the general population. Hence, this study is undertaken to assess the predictors of sub-clinical atherosclerosis in patients with RA, so that early prompt management can prevent cardiovascular complications.

Methods:
A case–control study with 42 patients of RA and 42 healthy age- and sex-matched controls was undertaken. Relevant investigations were done. Disease Activity Score (DAS)-28 was calculated. Carotid artery doppler was performed on both sides to examine the common carotid artery.

Results:
The mean carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) (mm) was significantly higher in RA patients compared to controls on the right side (0.57 ± 0.11 Vs 0.40 ± 0.03; P < 0.001) as well as left side (0.56 ± 0.11 Vs 0.39 ± 0.06; P < 0.001). Only age (P = 0.006) and DAS-28 (P = 0.002) showed a positive correlation with CIMT.

Conclusions:
CIMT can be used as a marker for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis and the risk of atherosclerosis increases with the increasing age and increasing disease severity.
Effect of Timing of Pars Plana Vitrectomy on Visual Outcome in Cases of Nucleus Drop during Phacoemulsification
Authors: Sharma Deepa , Ish Somya , Jeria Satish , Dalla Ritu , Pathak Ashok 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:

PURPOSE:
The purpose of the study was to study the relationship between the timing of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) in cases of nucleus drop during phacoemulsification.

METHODS:
This retrospective analysis included 83 patients, who underwent PPV for nucleus or nuclear fragment drop from July 2017 to November 2019. Timing of PPV (≤2 weeks and >2 weeks) after the primary cataract surgery was noted. The primary endpoint was CDVA at 1 month, which was compared with the time of PPV. Visual outcome was assessed as good if CDVA was better than or equal to 20/40 and poor if CDVA was worse than 20/40. Mode of management along with type of secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implanted was also evaluated.

RESULTS:
Out of the 83 cases (55 males and 28 females) in which vitrectomy for nucleus drop was performed, 36 cases were operated within 2 weeks and 47 were operated between 2 weeks and 1 month. In cases which were operated within 2 weeks, CDVA of 20/20–20/40 was achieved in 33 cases. For those who were operated on after 2 weeks, CDVA of 20/20–20/40 was achieved in 43 cases. The difference in visual outcome in both the groups was statistically nonsignificant (Fisher’s exact t-test, P = 0.97). In 64 (77%) cases, adequate sulcus was present, in which foldable 3-piece IOL was placed in 29 (35%) cases.

CONCLUSION:
Timing of intervention has no bearing on the final visual outcome after vitrectomy in cases of nucleus drop during phacoemulsification. The continuity of the capsulorrhexis and the availability of capsular support determines the type of placement of the lens. A foldable lens can be placed in the sulcus if continuous capsulorrhexis is present.
Recurrence of Idiopathic Orbital Inflammation: An 11-year Retrospective Study
Authors: Anggraini Neni , Siregar Nurjati C. , Sitorus Rita S. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:

PURPOSE:
The high recurrence rate of idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) has been reported. This study aims to determine existing predictive factors for the recurrence of IOI.

METHODS:
This was an 11-year retrospective study with at least a 12-month follow-up. Fifty patients with biopsy-proven IOI admitted between 2006 and 2017 at our tertiary hospital were observed. We compared the clinical characteristics, histopathological profile, and biomarker expressions (mast cell, immunoglobulin G4, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and transforming growth factor-beta) of 16 patients with recurrence (Group I) and 34 patients with no recurrence (Group II). Statistical comparison and multivariate analysis were performed to establish the predictive factors.

RESULTS:
We discovered five recurrence predictive factors: presentation of proptosis (odds ratio [OR] 4.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36–18.03), visual impairment (OR 15, 95% CI 1.58–142.72), extraocular muscle (EOM) restriction (OR 3.86, 95% CI 1.07–13.94), nonanterior involvement (OR 7.94, 95% CI 1.88–33.5), and corticosteroid (CS) alone treatment (OR 7.20, 95% CI 1.87–27.8). On multivariate analysis, nonanterior involvement and CS alone treatment were validated as predictive factors (area under the curve = 0.807 [95% CI 0.69–0.92]). Histopathological profile and biomarker expressions were not associated with recurrence. However, there was a 22-fold higher recurrence risk for granulomatous-type patients given CS alone treatment.

CONCLUSION:
Unlike the five clinical characteristics mentioned, both histopathology and biomarker variables were not associated with recurrence. CS alone treatment for patients with nonanterior involvement or granulomatous type is proven to increase the risk of recurrence. Therefore, we suggest not giving CS without any combination treatment with other modalities for this group of patients.
Spontaneous Globe Rupture following Prolonged Uncontrolled Elevated Intraocular Pressure
Authors: Aina Akinsola S. , Adeleke Olumide T. , Aina Ifeoluwasemilojo 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:
We report two glaucoma patients who experienced unusual instances of spontaneous globe rupture. The patients arrived at the Bowen University Teaching Hospital’s emergency ophthalmology unit with a history of bleeding from one eye without any history of ocular trauma. They were known glaucoma patients with poor control of their intraocular pressures (IOP). They eventually underwent evisceration shortly after presentation. Spontaneous eyeball rupture in glaucomatous eyes is extremely unusual and has a very poor prognosis for vision. Proper management and appropriate follow-up of glaucoma patients are very important to avert this dreaded complication of uncontrolled IOP.
Radiopathological Correlation in Orbital Lesions
Authors: Mukherjee Bipasha , Backiavathy Varsha , Umadevi C. , Noronha Olma V. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:

PURPOSE:
The objective is to analyze the radiological diagnosis of orbital lesions and their correlation with the final histopathological findings. We compared the initial reports by extramural radiologists and an in-house radiologist specialized in orbital imaging to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy in the interpretation of orbital imaging.

METHODS:
This was a retrospective chart review of forty patients referred to a Tertiary Eye Care Center in South India over a period of 7 years. These patients already had their imaging done elsewhere. The imaging was re-evaluated by an in-house radiologist. The radiological findings were correlated with the histopathological diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracy between the two radiologists was compared. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value in differentiating malignant from benign lesions were calculated in both groups. The sensitivity and PPV of the radiological diagnosis for neoplastic and inflammatory lesions in both groups were analyzed.

RESULTS:
The accuracy in differentiating malignant from benign and inflammatory lesions by our in-house radiologist and extramural radiologists was 95% (κ = 0.9 [0.764, 0.997]) and 50% (κ = 0.036 [−0.160, 0.232]), respectively. The sensitivity and PPV of the radiological diagnosis by our in-house radiologist were 93.31% and 100% for benign lesions and 95.24% and 95.24% for malignant lesions. On the contrary, reports from the extramural radiologists showed a sensitivity and PPV of 76.92% and 66.67% for benign lesions and 14.28% and 60% for malignant lesions.

CONCLUSION:
A high radiological diagnostic accuracy is possible when analyzed by radiologists experienced in orbital imaging.
