Le rock progressif (1969-1976) et la scène indie montréalaise (1997-2021) : influence stylistique et filiation artistique
Authors: Coulombe Bruno 
Published: April 2024

Cet article explore le lien historique entre la scène indie montréalaise des années 2000 et le rock progressif, un genre qui a été très populaire au Québec dans les années 1970. M’inspirant des travaux de Brackett (2016), j’utilise une approche « généalogique » pour étudier l’influence du rock progressif chez les groupes indie montréalais. Un tel lien semble inconcevable de prime abord, l’indie préconisant la simplicité sur le plan de la production et du style (Fonarow, 2006), tandis que le rock progressif est centré sur la virtuosité et la théâtralité (Macan, 1997). Mon analyse révèle toutefois des contradictions dans la manière dont les genres opèrent. Dans la première partie, je retrace l’histoire du rock progressif de la période 1969-1976 dans le but d’expliciter son attrait auprès du public québécois, dans le contexte de la contre-culture. J’explore ensuite la notion de « scène » (Straw, 1991) pour en faire ressortir l’aspect intergénérationnel et établir des liens entre des époques distinctes (Bennett et Rogers, 2016). Enfin, j’explore diverses manifestations de l’influence du rock progressif sur les groupes indie de la période 1997-2021, comme l’illustrent la musique à grand déploiement de Godspeed You! Black Emperor, l’instrumentation élaborée d’Arcade Fire, les structures formelles non-conventionnelles de Malajube ou le post-psychédélisme des Besnard Lakes. En adéquation avec le modèle théorique de Brackett, je montre que ces groupes invoquent certaines conventions du rock progressif comme un ensemble de traits identifiables sans pour autant renier leur appartenance à leur genre d’origine.
June 1982, When Disco Became Dance
Authors: Haddon Mimi 
Published: April 2024

Cet article analyse la transformation du disco en « musique dance », au sein des musiques populaires nord-américaines au début des années 1980. Je reviens tout d’abord sur un supplément du magazine Billboard, paru le 19 juin 1982, et consacré à une nouvelle catégorie connue sous le nom de « dance music ». À l’aide d’idées développées par David Brackett en 2016, dans son ouvrage Categorizing Sound, j’analyse cette transition générique de deux manières différentes. Dans un premier temps, je m’intéresse à la transition entre le disco et la dance selon l’idée de « niveau » de genres musicaux, et du concept concomitant d’« échec de la coordination » d’usage des étiquettes génériques au travers différents supports médiatiques, comme les palmarès de Billboard, la radio, les pistes de danse et les magasins de disques. Dans un second temps, je m’appuie sur l’idée de « regroupements provisoires » afin de souligner que les musiques populaires peuvent participer de plusieurs genres musicaux à la fois, et que différents critères génériques peuvent produire différents regroupements, parfois étonnants. Je suggère que ces regroupements émergents peuvent servir l’historiographie de la dance-music. Plus spécifiquement, je me demande si les sociabilités pré-rock et les groupes féminins sont ressuscités par les esthétiques ludiques des musiques disco-dance. Pour finir, peut-être la nouvelle dance music des années 1980 a-t-elle autant à voir avec les sociabilités de groupes féminins noirs et une pratique musicale incarnée, qu’elle n’a de rapport avec les nouveaux synthétiseurs, les bruits électroniques granuleux et un minimalisme épars.
Drug holiday effect on osteoporosis: a narrative review of the current literature
Authors: Velitsikakis Paraskevas Asimakis , Psochias Philippos , Kopanos Stylianos , Perisynakis Nikolaos , Georgios Giovanidis 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are most common drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis being effective in reducing fracture risk. Although these drugs are quite safe and tolerable drugs, there has been an association with severe adverse effects after a prolonged period of use. The idea of ‘drug holiday’ is becoming a trend, because of the way these drugs work, absorbed by the bone and continuing the exertion of an antiresorptive effect even after discontinuation, meaning that the patient continues to benefit from anti-fracture efficacy, while the risk of side effects is reduced. Discontinuation of bisphosphonates should be considered in patients who have been treated for more than 5 years with alendronate or more than 3 years with risedronate or zoledronic acid, and reassessment should be done every 1 to 3 years if there is no new adverse event in the meantime.
Ultrasound-guided injection versus landmark-guided injection using corticosteroids for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis
Authors: Ghandour Tarek M 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Purpose
To compare the clinical results of corticosteroid injection using landmark-guided injection (LMGI) and ultrasound-guided injection (USGI) techniques.

Patients and methods
We injected corticosteroids in 55 patients with extraarticular tennis elbow using LMGI and USGI techniques. All patients suffered from lateral elbow pain for more than 3 months with a tender point on the lateral epicondyle. This pain was exaggerated by wrist extension and specific physical activity. For postprocedural evaluation, in a randomized controlled assessor-blinded clinical trial, visual analog score (VAS), pain-free grip strength (PFGS), and the Nirschl staging system were assessed at 1, 6, 24 weeks, and 12 months.

Results
Only 48 participants were included in the final analysis (seven were excluded). Preoperatively, the average VAS scores, tenderness over lateral epicondyle, PFGS values, and Nirschl stages were almost the same (P=0.620, 0.505, 0.784, and 0.455). After 1 week of injection, there was no significant difference noticed in the VAS for pain at rest, tenderness during palpation, the PFGS and Nirschl stages between group 1 and group 2 (P=0.947, 0.724, 0.484, and 0.677, respectively). A statistically significant difference between the two groups was observed from 6 to 48 weeks. At the final follow-up, group 2 had a statistically significant better outcome when compared to group 1 (P<0.05).

Conclusion
USGI had a better long-term outcome than LMGI in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.

Abstract

Introduction
The intracystic injection of methylprednisolone acetate, curettage with bone grafting, osteoinductive treatments employing demineralized bone matrix, and intramedullary fixation with flexible nails are being used to treat unicameral bone cysts (UBC) in children. The purpose of this study was to assess the functional results of elastic stable intramedullary nails for symptomatic UBC with or without a fracture.

Methods
From March 2012 to March 2022, 18 patients with UBC were treated with intramedullary flexible nails. Pathological fractures were present at the cyst site in 6 individuals. 12 patients had discomfort and swelling in the afflicted extremity. Cysts were found in the humerus in 13 (72%) patients and the femur in 5 (28%) cases. The average age of the patient at the time of surgery was 7.8 (6–12 years), and the average follow-up period was 16 months. The Capanna et al. criteria were used to do the radiographic evaluation.

Results
According to radiological evaluation by Capanna et al., 5 cysts healed completely (Stage I), 5 cysts healed with residual radiolucent areas visible on radiographs that were less than 3 cm in size (Stage II), and 7 cysts healed with residual radiolucent areas that were visible on radiographs that were larger than 3 cm in size (Stage III). An infection at the surgery site affected one patient. A 12 (60%) patients had their implants removed.

Conclusion
Elastic stable intramedullary nailing promotes early stabilization, enables early mobilization, eliminates the need for a plaster cast, and reduces the occurrence of a pathological fracture with early return to functional activity.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Abnormalities of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and its tributaries are rare anomalies detected more frequently by computed tomography scans with intravenous contrast. Its importance lies in identifying them by the possible clinical and surgical implications. They originate from the persistence or regression of the three embryonic veins (posterior cardinal, subcardinal, and supracardinal) and their anastomosis. There are three cases, the first with double IVC type I, which has a prevalence of 0.2%–3%. The second case has a left vena cava, which has a 0.2%–0.5% prevalence. The third case is with retroaortic left renal vein, which has a prevalence of 3.4%.

Published: April 2024

Abstract

Background:
Acute upper-limb ischemia (AULI) is a sudden loss of perfusion to the affected limb. The annual incidence of AULI has been reported as 1.3 cases/100,000 patients. It can be due to vaso-occlusive or vasospastic disorders. It is often the result of thromboembolic disease, trauma, or iatrogenic factors. AULI has multiple modalities of treatment including surgical and nonsurgical options.

Materials and Methods:
Our study is a retrospective study where patients who have been conservatively treated at a single center between January 2015 and January 2018 were followed up for 5 years.

Results:
The analysis included 31 patients (61.3% males), with a mean age of 57 years. Only three patients presented within 6 h, and 16 patients presented more than 12 h after symptom onset. Of the 31 patients, 19% had a cardiac source of embolus, 65% had arterial thrombosis, and 16% had other etiologies. The axillary and brachial arteries were noted to be the most affected sites. All the patients underwent conservative management with anticoagulation. Results of this study showed that patients had amputation-free survival with improvement in clinical symptoms and functional outcomes at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years. None of the patients required a surgical intervention for revascularization. At the end of 5 years of follow-up, two patients underwent partial amputations of one or more fingers, and limb salvage was achieved in all the patients. Most of the patients improved in terms of limb functionality from Grade 3 or Grade 4 at the time of presentation to Grade 1 according to functionality grading.

Conclusion:
Patients treated with conservative management for AULI have good amputation-free survival and good functional outcomes after 5 years as per our study.

Relevance of tongue types and depth of the retromylohyoid fossa in fabrication of mandibular removable dentures - A clinical study
Authors: Rastogi Isha 
Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Successful denture fitting depends on three key factors: retention, stability, and support. While creating a denture for the upper jaw is relatively easy, the lower jaw presents more challenges due to greater issues with retention and stability. This is because dentures tend to move around relative to the underlying bone during use. To address this problem, a customized tool (an impression and cast) was used in a study to measure the depth of the retromylohyoid fossa.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to analyze the type of tongue and depth of the retromylohyoid fossa using an impression and cast.

Materials and Methods:
This study was conducted in the department of prosthodontics, where all patients received regular check-ups and dental treatments. The retromylohyoid fossa(extension) and tongue were examined in a sample of 500 patients aged between 20 and 50 years, and impressions were taken.

Results:
The measurements were recorded, and the depth of the retromylohyoid fossa was assessed. The tongue was also studied.

Conclusion:
This retromylohyoid fossa and tongue are a suspense itself, and our method is just a suggestion for the mandibular denture prosthesis success.
Comparison of three supraglottic airway devices for blind tracheal intubation by novice practitioners: A randomized manikin study
Authors: Sonmez Osman , Colak Nese , Bayram Basak , Kara Suleyman Gokhan , Halac Sebnem Sakar 
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVES:
Supraglottic airway (SGA) devices are good alternatives for failed intubations or difficult airways. The aim of our study was to compare the success of intubation with SGA devices such as LMA Fastrach® (LMA Fastrach), Ambu Aura-i® (Aura-i), and Cookgas Air-Q® (Air-Q) in an airway manikin by novice practitioners.

METHODS:
This study was conducted in a randomized crossover design using a manikin model. Following training on the equipment used, 36 6th-year medical students were randomized into six groups. Participants performed three stages of intubation as follows: the first stage (1S) as SGA insertion, the second stage (2S) as intubation through the SGA, and the third stage (3S) as the removal of the SGA over the intubation tube. The primary outcomes were intubation success and duration.

RESULTS:
The successful intubation rate (Stage 1S + 2S + 3S) was 100% for LMA Fastrach and Air-Q and 83.3% for Aura-i (P = 0.002). The median time to intubation was 54.4 s, 55.8 s, and 58.7 s for LMA Fastrach, Aura-i, and Air-Q, respectively (P = 0.794).

CONCLUSION:
Our study shows that novice practitioners can proficiently utilize LMA Fastrach, Air-Q, and Aura-i as SGAs in airway management. LMA Fastrach and Air-Q are more successful for endotracheal intubation than Aura-i. While the successful intubation time with SGA is similar for all three devices, the successful SGA insertion time is shorter with LMA Fastrach and Aura-i compared to Air-Q. Practitioners preferred LMA Fastrach and Air-Q more than Aura-i.

Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE:
The objective is to evaluate the outcome of early emergency intubation and early dialysis in formic acid (FA) poisoning and to determine the clinical features associated with its mortality.

METHODS:
It is a retrospective cohort study of 78 patients who presented to the emergency medicine department from July 2008 to June 2015 with alleged history and clinical features of FA poisoning. The outcome of early intubation and early dialysis was studied in terms of 7-day and 30-day mortality. The outcome was compared in severe and not severe groups separately. Severity was graded according to Med-Tu chart used for corrosive poisoning.

RESULTS:
In the severe group (n = 53), early dialysis was done in 15 patients. There was 53% (n = 8) 30-day mortality. In the group where early dialysis was not done there was a significant increase in mortality 92.1% (n = 35). This was statistically significant with a P = 0.003. In a similar fashion 7-day mortality was analyzed in the severe group where mortality was higher when early dialysis was not done. In not severe group early dialysis has minimally decreased the mortality. Early intubation in severe group did not demonstrate any mortality benefit. Patients who were intubated early and not intubated early had equally high mortality. In not severe group, intubation could not make any significant difference in mortality.

CONCLUSION:
In this retrospective study, we observed that early dialysis in the severe group has a better outcome in terms of 7-day and 30-day mortality.

Modern materials science sets itself the task of developing new materials with multifunctional coatings. Materials with such coatings are widely used in various fields of technology: construction and energy, microelectronics, aviation and others. The main reason for the emergence and development of technology for applying multifunctional protective coatings is the desire to increase the durability of parts and assemblies of various machine mechanisms. Wear-resistant hard coatings based on transition metal nitrides and carbonitrides are widely used to extend the life of forging and extrusion dies and high-speed machining tools. Over the past two decades, the widespread use of these coatings has stimulated and supported the development of new processes and materials in an attempt to further improve their properties. Among these coatings, the higher hardness, excellent oxidation resistance and high thermal stability of coatings such as TiSiN and TiSiCN make them the most promising candidates for demanding tribological applications. In addition, TiSiCN coating is a promising material used in marine environments due to its excellent anti-wear and corrosion resistance, as well as high hardness and low friction coefficient. These combinations of properties make TiSiCN coatings potential candidates for protective layers in the automotive and petroleum industries.The article briefly examines the possibilities of producing TiSiCN coatings using different deposition methods to control the properties of the resulting films and the features of the reactive plasma spraying method. The work describes the most common methods and technologies for producing carbonitride coatings currently used. The latest developments and current trends in the field of plasma spray coating technologies are reviewed, taking into account important innovations for industrial coatings. New conclusions that were obtained as a result of fundamental and applied research in physics or chemistry are based on them. The article provides a comparative review of the characteristics of obtaining wear-resistant TiSiCN coatings and the features of using reactive plasma spraying to obtain wear-resistant coatings. Based on an analysis of the literature, it can be argued that the further development of reactive plasma technology is associated with the development of a new resource-saving method for the formation of composite coatings with increased corrosion and tribological characteristics, which corresponds to the development trends of world science.
