Combler la faille entre le texte et l’image dans le livre illustré : le cas des « métamorphoses, ou transformations d’images »
Authors: Collé Nathalie 
Published: May 2024

Cet article envisage la problématique de la faille du point de vue du livre illustré, et plus spécifiquement des « métamorphoses, ou transformations d’images », ces petits livrets inventés dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle et combinant textes et images dans un ensemble à la fois structuré et décomposé. Il s’intéresse en particulier aux métamorphoses inspirées de la célèbre allégorie en prose de John Bunyan, The Pilgrim’s Progress (1678), qui furent publiées à Hartford et New Haven dans le Connecticut, dans les années 1810-1870, « pour le divertissement et l’instruction de la jeunesse ». Dépliables et repliables à souhait, ces livrets offrent un récit condensé et fractionné, à recomposer à partir de textes courts et d’images découpées, et dont la lecture implique un maniement à la fois matériel et intellectuel. Le mode de représentation impliqué est quant à lui à la fois théâtral et emblématique, et le résultat un terrain accidenté à arpenter et à déchiffrer avec les mains et les yeux.

Abstract

Background:
Son preference is known to be prevalent in developing countries and has dire consequences for the family, particularly girls and women. It is speculated that the prevalence of son preference may be high among fertility clinic attendees, and that son preference may be the reason for seeking fertility care in Nigeria.

Objectives:
To determine the prevalence and risk factors for son preference among fertility seekers in Enugu, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
Questionnaire-based cross-sectional study of fertility clinic attendees from the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku-Ozalla Enugu and the Pink Petals Fertility Clinic Enugu from April 1 to September 30, 2023. Eligible and consenting participants were interviewed. Data collection was with a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire, which contained three sections: biodata, obstetrics and gynecological data and 3-point son preference questions. The proportion of those who scored 3 (son preference) was documented. The analysis was both descriptive and inferential using IBM SPSS statistics for Windows, version 22.0 Armonk, NY, USA: IBM Corp.

Results:
Of the 422 participants interviewed, 416 (98.6%) completed the study with a nonresponse rate of 6 (1.4%). The overall prevalence of son preference was 10.1% (42/416) and all 42 (10.1%) were in the clinic to have a male baby. The risk factors for son preference were less than tertiary education (P < 0.001, adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 6.46, confidence interval [CI] 2.79–14.98) and family pressure to have a male baby (P = 0.03, AOR = 3.41, CI 1.72–7.13).

Conclusions:
One in 10 couples who attend an infertility clinic in Enugu, Nigeria, has a preference for son, and having a male child is the sole purpose of such a visit. Being under family pressure and not having tertiary education were the predictive risk factors for son preference in the study population.

Authors: Yazawa Hiroyuki , Yazawa Riho , Matsuoka Ryo , Ohara Miki 
Published: May 2024

Objectives:
We aimed to evaluate the surgical results for ectopic pregnancy (EP) treated at Fukushima Red Cross Hospital for over a 20-year period from 2002 to 2021.

Materials and Methods:
We evaluated the incidence, surgical procedures, site of implantation, amount of hemoperitoneum, and the proportion of cases with risk factors of EP.

Results:
Two hundred and fifty-nine cases of EP were treated surgically. The incidence of EP seemed to be gradually decreasing in recent years. By pregnancy site, 235 (90.7%) of EPs were tubal pregnancies (TPs), 13 in interstitial pregnancies (IPs), 7 in ovarian pregnancies, and 4 in peritoneal pregnancies. For IPs, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels were statistically higher than with TP and intraperitoneal bleeding was less than with other EP sites. Thirty-nine patients (15.0%) were with massive hemoperitoneum (>500 mL), and laparoscopic surgery was performed in all patients with massive hemoperitoneum except in two patients. The proportion of cases with risk factors for EP such as Chlamydia trachomatis infection or history of smoking was 5.4% and 40.6%, respectively. Epidemiological research shows that the number of patients with chlamydia infection, rates of smokers, or the occurrence of EP with assisted reproductive technology has been decreasing in recent years in Japan.

Conclusion:
Appropriate surgical intervention should be selected while considering such as facility capabilities, context, and surgeon skill, especially in critical cases, such as cases involving massive hemoperitoneum and hemorrhagic shock. The recent presumed decrease in the occurrence of EP may partly be associated with the decrease in the occurrence of risk factors.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Ipsilateral fractures of femoral shaft and neck of femur fracture are rare but challenging and typically caused by high energy trauma. Review of literature shows various options for implants and surgical techniques for the treatment of Ipsilateral femoral neck shaft fractures but still none of them can be considered as standard, or even preferable. This is a case of 25 year old male who had suffered injury to his left hip and left thigh following an RTA. Radiographs of pelvis and thigh showed fracture of neck of right femur [basicervial] with fracture of shaft of right femur [junction of proximal 2/3rd and distal 1/3rd]. He was managed using reconstruction nail for both fractures 3 days after injury. The patient has attained bony union of both fractures in 8 months and was able to carry out his all routine activities and has attained good functional range of motion at hip and knee joint. We concluded that reconstruction nail is an acceptable implant for the management of ipsilateral neck and shaft of femur fracture with good radiological and clinical outcomes.
Precontoured anatomical plate fixation is not superior to recon plate fixation for intercondylar fracture humerus in adults
Authors: Adil Mohd , Julfiqar  , Sabir Aamir Bin , Aziz Mohd Hadi , Anwar Mohd Adnan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Intercondylar fractures are intraarticular distal humerus fractures that are frequently linked to osteopenia, comminution, and displacement. Due to its intricate anatomy, fractured bone frequently consists of many fragments and has few fixing possibilities. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is the best treatment option for these fractures, most commonly either with precontoured anatomical locking plates or recon plates. This study aims to compare the functional and radiological outcomes and rate of complications in the management of intercondylar fracture of the humerus with recon plates and precontoured anatomical plates.

Materials and Methods:
We have prospectively evaluated the outcome of precontoured anatomical plate vs recon plate fixation in the management of adult intercondylar fracture of the humerus in 20 patients having 10 patients in each of the groups. The study was done between November 2020 and November 2022. The recon plate group was designated as group 1 and the precontoured anatomic plate group as group 2. Orthogonal plate fixation was done in both groups. Ulnar nerve transposition was not done in any case. The study included seven patients of AO13C1, eight patients of AO13C2, and five patients of AO13C3 type of intercondylar fracture of the humerus. The mean follow-up period was 8.4 months. The functional outcome was assessed by the Mayo Elbow Performance Scoring (MEPS) system and the radiological outcome was by elbow anteroposterior/lateral radiographs. The minimum follow-up duration was 6 months.

Results:
In both groups, the average duration of operation and hospitalization was comparable. At 3 months follow-up after surgery, the mean MEPS in the locking precontoured anatomical plate group (group 2 = 82) was significantly higher than that of the traditional recon plate (group 1 = 69.50; P = 0.026). However, the mean MEPS was comparable in both the study groups (group 1 = 81.50, group 2 = 88, P = 0.154) at 6 months after the surgery. Range of motion (ROM) was comparable for each study group after 3 months and final follow-up as well. The patients in group 2 took much less time to achieve union than the patients in group 1 (P = 0.001); however, in total 95% of the study patients achieved union. The rate of complications including wound infection, tension band wire backout, implant loosening, and joint stiffness was similar in both groups.

Conclusion:
Precontoured anatomical plates and recon plates did not significantly differ in the functional results of distal humeral fractures (AO type 13C), including the ROM and MEPS at a mean follow-up duration of 8.4 months; however, there was a considerable variance in the union time, in which patients operated with precontoured anatomical plates showed much less time to achieve union than the recon plates.

Authors: Rathore Pankaj , Garg Sahil , Bhati Shivam 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
Plantar fasciitis is a common orthopedic issue that affects the quality of life. Various modalities of treatment have been tried for this condition, extending from conservative treatment to surgical treatment. Various studies have been conducted in different parts of the world to compare the results of local platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and steroids with varying results.

Materials and Methods:
We collected data at Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, India with the approval of the IEC (Ethical Committee). From April 2016 to March 2017, 67 patients were included in the study through random sampling after obtaining written consent.

Results:
Plantar fasciitis was more common in the age group between 31 and 40 years. Plantar fasciitis was seen more commonly in females than males. Plantar fasciitis was seen more commonly in housewives and service providers. Both local steroid injection and autologous PRP injection are effective modes of treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis, but local steroid injection is effective for short-term pain relief, afterwards its effect gradually deteriorates, while autologous PRP injection provides better long-term pain relief. Patients were evaluated using the AOFAS score and the Visual Analogue Score, ranging from 0 to 10, at the onset of treatment, the 12-week follow-up, and the 24-week follow-up. An assessment was conducted in both categories.

Conclusions:
Both local steroid injection and autologous PRP injection are effective modes of treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis, but local steroid injection is effective for short-term pain relief (up to 12weeks as per our study), afterwards its effect gradually deteriorates, while the autologous PRP injection has better long-term pain relief.
