SmartSight Correction of Compound Myopic Astigmatism Treatments With Preoperative Astigmatism > 1.00 Diopter Using the SCHWIND ATOS: A Retrospective Case Series
Authors: Pradhan Kishore Raj , Arba Mosquera Samuel 
Published: May 2024

Purpose:
To evaluate moderate to high astigmatism corrections on the outcomes of SmartSight lenticule extraction for myopic astigmatism with a new femtosecond laser system.

Methods:
Two hundred ninety-two eyes consecutively treated for myopic astigmatism with astigmatism magnitude greater than 1.00 diopter (D) were evaluated at the 6-month follow-up visit. The mean age of the patients was 29 ± 6 years with a mean spherical equivalent of −5.06 ± 2.20 diopters (D) and a mean magnitude of refractive astigmatism of 1.74 ± 0.61 D.

Results:

At 6 months, astigmatism was 0.10 ± 0.20 D. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuities (UDVA and CDVA, respectively) were both 0.0 ± 0.1 logMAR. Differences between postoperative UDVA and preoperative CDVA and the change in CDVA were both +0.4 ± 0.7 lines better than preoperatively (
P
< .0003).

Conclusions:
Lenticule extraction treatment using Smart-Sight is safe and efficacious at 6 months. Findings suggest that moderate to high astigmatism improves after SmartSight lenticule extraction in the treatment of myopic astigmatism.

Héritage littéraire, topiques et polymorphie dans le commonitorium d’Orientius
Authors: Martin Lucie 
Published: May 2024

La conversion des élites cultivées au
christianisme s’est notamment exprimée dans le cadre de la Gaule du
Ve siècle par la conversion
littéraire des formes légères de la poésie classique – le commonitorium d’Orientius,
protreptique à la conversion ascétique rédigé en distiques élégiaques,
en est l’une des expressions. Cette étude examine la manière dont
l’auteur exploite la tradition littéraire qui lui est antérieure,
jouant d’effets de convergence, de décalages et de métamorphoses et
exploitant des outils et des formules variés issus de genres
différents. Une telle exploration permet de mettre en valeur, sur les
plans macro‑ et microstructurels, la riche culture d’Orientius et la
personnalité littéraire de ce dernier qui, sensible à l’esthétique de
la uariatio, présente un
goût certain pour la polymorphie et le jeu littéraire. Cet article est
le fruit du remaniement d’un passage de notre thèse de doctorat

Cris, réprimandes, rumeurs et murmures : les réponses des mères aux acteurs armés et à la militarisation dans deux quartiers de Caracas
Authors: Zubillaga Verónica , Hanson Rebecca 
Published: May 2024

Comment les mères font-elles face à la violence chronique et à la présence constante d’armes dans leurs quartiers ? Comment construisent-elles du sens situé et des pratiques discursives à partir de leurs expériences et relations avec des acteurs armés ? Nous comparons les expériences de femmes dans deux quartiers populaires de la classe ouvrière à Caracas. Dans ce projet ethnographique comparatif, nous voulons montrer comment, au milieu d’une déprédation étatique et de la présence envahissante des armes dans leur vie, les femmes utilisent leurs rôles culturels de mères pour accomplir des formes de résistance quotidienne vis-à-vis des différents acteurs armés imposant leur présence dans les barrios. Dans leurs épreuves de tous les jours, les mères font appel à des actions discursives dramatiques – de celles plus ouvertement frontales, comme les cris, les réprimandes et les discussions, à d’autres plus occultées, telles que les « rumeurs circulantes » et les « rumeurs captives », sans oublier les formes plus vulnérables, comme les chuchotements – qui sont des ressources principales dans la micropolitique de leurs quartiers. Notre recherche suggère que les stratégies dépendent du contexte et varient très probablement en fonction de nombreux facteurs, y compris l’histoire de l’organisation citoyenne, les pratiques policières et le type d’acteur armé avec lequel elles cohabitent dans leur quartier.
L’étagement des anciennes terrasses marines de Basilicate (Italie du sud) : un double patrimoine géomorphologique et épistémologique
Authors: Comentale Bruno 
Published: May 2024

En bordure du golfe de Tarente, d’anciennes terrasses marines quaternaires soulevées à proximité de l’Apennin lucanien réalisent un étagement de plateaux, entre 30 et 330 mètres d’altitude. Elles sont corrélées aux niveaux marins de la chronologie isotopique enregistrés depuis 600 000 ans. Elles reposent sur le substratum argilo-marneux de la fosse bradanique, qui affleure au-dessus de 400 mètres d’altitude. Ce matériel meuble est raviné sous forme de bad-lands (calanchi) qui confèrent à ce paysage un cachet esthétique propre à susciter une activité géotouristique encore à venir. La présence d’un patrimoine archéologique de l’Antiquité (cité de Métaponte) et de l’âge du Fer (colline d’Incoronata au voisinage de la troisième terrasse en altitude) est un argument supplémentaire en faveur de cette activité.
Cinéma et solidarité internationale : La Bataille du Chili dans les festivals
Authors: Amaral de Aguiar Carolina 
Published: May 2024

Cet article étudie l’importance du thème de la dictature chilienne dans les festivals de cinéma des années 1970, en se reposant sur la présence de La Bataille du Chili (Patricio Guzmán, 1975, 1976, 1979) à ces événements. La trilogie de Guzmán a été projetée notamment à la Quinzaine des réalisateurs de Cannes (1975 et 1976), au Festival international du nouveau cinéma de Pesaro (1975), au Festival international du film documentaire de Leipzig (1976) et au Forum de Berlin (1975, 1976 et 1979). Les projections ont été accompagnées d’interviews, de déclarations, de dénonciations, de manifestes, de critiques et de nouvelles dans la presse locale. La diffusion du documentaire a généré des événements politiques qui ont rassemblé des exilés chiliens et des étrangers solidaires. Ce cas d’étude permet de comprendre une certaine autonomie du champ culturel à l’époque de la guerre froide et de mesurer l’ampleur des dénonciations des violations des droits humains dans des pays aux spectres idéologiques les plus divers.

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Anesthetic induction plays a pivotal role in determining the operative course and the outcome in patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study compared the effect of anesthetic induction with etomidate, thiopentone, and propofol primarily on systemic hemodynamics and regional cerebral oxygenation (rScO2) and secondarily on the serum cortisol levels in TBI patients.

Material and Methods:
In this prospective observational study, eligible patients were recruited and divided into three groups as per the induction agent received. Data collected were hemodynamic parameters and rScO2 levels at baseline, following 3 min of preoxygenation, and over 10 min of induction. Serum cortisol levels were measured before and after 24 h of induction. The statistical analysis was done using R software.

Results:
A total of 115 patients were included: 32, 33, and 50 in thiopentone, propofol, and etomidate groups, respectively. A significant increase (P < 0.001) in bilateral rScO2 was noted in all three groups following anesthetic induction. Intergroup comparison of the propofol and the etomidate groups revealed significantly lesser increase in contralateral rScO2 (P = 0.019) and a greater fall in mean arterial pressure (P = 0.003) on using propofol as an induction agent. Trend changes in bilateral rScO2 and hemodynamic parameters were comparable between thiopentone and etomidate groups. An insignificant fall in serum cortisol was observed in etomidate (P = 0.332) and thiopentone (P = 0.364) groups, but a significant increase was observed in the propofol group (P = 0.004). The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at discharge improved significantly in all the groups (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
In TBI patients, anesthetic induction with etomidate resulted in least hemodynamic changes compared to induction with thiopentone and propofol. The rScO2 increased in all three groups after induction, with the maximal increase observed with etomidate compared to propofol and thiopentone. Insignificant fall in serum cortisol was observed with etomidate and thiopentone, but not with propofol. Outcome at discharge, assessed with GCS, was comparable in all the groups.
Comparison of the effects of two amino acids, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and L-theanine, on sedation, anxiety, and cognition in preoperative surgical patients – A randomized controlled study
Authors: Deshpande Shrinidhi S. , Kurdi Madhuri , Baiju Amrita , Athira A. S. , Sarasamma Athira G. , Gangadharan Arunima K. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Preoperational anxiety affects the outcome of anesthesia and surgery. Benzodiazepines impair psychomotor performance and cause excessive sedation. L-theanine is a unique amino acid found in green tea. It prevents stress, produces anxiolysis, modulates alpha activity, and provides beneficial effects on mental state, including sleep quality. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid and a phytochemical that is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. It is beneficial in anxiety and stress regulation. Hence, alternative premedicants such as L-theanine and GABA will have a widespread appeal and are safer. The primary objective was to study and compare the effects of L-theanine and GABA on preoperative anxiety, sedation, and cognition in patients posted for major elective surgeries. The secondary objective was to study adverse reactions.

Material and Methods:
A total of 168 patients aged between 18 and 55 years, belonging to the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class I and II, and satisfying all inclusion criteria were randomly divided into three groups that received either oral L-theanine, oral GABA, or oral alprazolam 0.25 mg. The anxiety score, sedation score, and psychomotor and cognitive performance scores were noted 60 minutes before and after the administration of the drugs.

Results:
Alprazolam produced more sedation than GABA and L-theanine (P = 0.0001). Psychomotor and cognitive functions improved with L-theanine and GABA (P = 0.0001) and decreased with alprazolam (P = 0.0001).

Conclusion:
GABA and L-theanine result in effective preoperative anxiolysis with minimal sedation and improvement of cognitive skills.
Stabilisation, scanning, and handle cancellation
Authors: Budney Ryan 
Published: May 2024

In this note, we describe a family of arguments that link the homotopy type of (a) the diffeomorphism group of the disc

D^{n}

, (b) the space of co-dimension one embedded spheres in

S^{n}

, and (c) the homotopy type of the space of co-dimension two trivial knots in

S^{n}

. We also describe some natural extensions to these arguments. We begin with Cerf’s “upgraded” proof of Smale’s theorem, showing that the diffeomorphism group of

S^{2}

has the homotopy type of the isometry group. This entails a cancelling-handle construction, related to recently studied “scanning” maps of spaces of embeddings

\operatorname{Emb}(D^{n-1}, S^{1}\times D^{n-1}) \to \Omega^{j} \operatorname{Emb}(D^{n-1-j}, S^{1} \times D^{n-1})

. We further give a Bott-style variation on Cerf’s construction and a related embedding calculus framework for these constructions. We use these arguments to prove that the monoid of Schönflies spheres

\pi_{0} \operatorname{Emb}(S^{n-1}, S^{n})

is a group with respect to the connected-sum operation for all

n \geq 2

. This last result is perhaps only interesting when

n=4

, as when

n \neq 4

, it follows from the resolution of the various generalised Schönflies problems.

El debate entre la virginidad y el matrimonio en el Espejo de ilustres y perfectas señoras
Authors: Montalvo Mareca Sergio 
Published: May 2024

Este artículo analiza uno de los debates que surgen dentro del Espejo de ilustres y perfectas señoras, obra escrita a finales del siglo XVII por el dramaturgo José Rojo. Para este texto, y de manera excepcional en el conjunto de su producción literaria, el autor conquense se sirve de la forma del diálogo para abordar un tema aún en boga en su momento: la educación de las mujeres y el perfeccionamiento de las esposas. Por ende, una de las enseñanzas más importantes que el padre (interlocutor protagonista) pretende inculcar a su hija (también interlocutora) es el valor del matrimonio, razón que ella no comparte en tanto que posee vocación religiosa y desea permanecer virgen. Este trabajo abundará en los argumentos que una y otra parte emplean, a lo largo de las conversaciones, para defender cuál es el estado más loable en las señoras, motivos que, a su vez, combinarán con sus propios intereses personales, generando así una disputa entre el estado virginal y el de esposa.

Da'wah patterns have changed over time. Written sermons have now become more important and effective than oral sermons. Especially for works that contain preaching messages and social media. The benefit of da'wah using this model is that as Rasulullah SAW once said, "Indeed, the ink of the ulama is better than the blood of the martyrs", does not mean that the content of the da'wah will disappear even though the preacher or writer has died. Analysis of the impact of media on the growth of Islamic Da'wah is the aim of this research. This research approach uses qualitative techniques derived from actual field data. It is proven that Allah SWT requires da'wah to other humans when He states in the QS. Saba':28, "And we did not send you but to all mankind as a bearer of good news and as a warning, but most people do not know." The study presented in the findings of this paper shows that the use of mass media as a channel for da'wah offers advantages. This shows the importance of media involvement in spreading religious beliefs among society.
