Published: April 2024

Abstract
We present an observational study of wind acceleration based on four low-ionization broad absorption line (BAL) quasars (J0136, J1238, J1259, and J1344). J0136 and J1344 (group 1) are radio-quiet and show large BAL-velocity shifts as opposed to stable line-locking associated absorption lines (AALs). Notably, J1344 displays a linear relation between BAL-velocity shift and time interval over three consecutive epochs, characteristic of compelling evidence for BAL acceleration. J1238 and J1259 (group 2) exhibit small BAL-velocity shifts along with steep-spectrum, weak radio emission at 3.0 and 1.4 GHz. All four quasars have spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with a peak at λ
rest ∼ 10 μm, suggesting a link between the BAL acceleration and hot dust emission. The group-2 quasars are redder than group-1 quasars and have a steeper rise at 1 μm < λ
rest < 3 μm in their SEDs. All but J1238 exhibit a steep rise followed by a plateau-like time evolution in BAL-velocity shift. Our investigations, combined with previous studies of BAL acceleration, indicate that (1) the coupling process between the BALs and the interstellar medium (ISM) is one of the major avenues for the origin of quasar reddening and patchy obscuration, (2) AAL outflows are ubiquitous and likely signify large-scale remnants of BAL winds coupled to the ISM, and (3) wind deceleration that is closely linked to the BAL–ISM coupling process may produce weak radio emission in otherwise radio-quiet quasars.
Covid-19 et responsabilité pénale en milieu professionnel
Authors: Tchatchouang Tchejip Rodrigue 
Published: April 2024

L’analyse de la thématique « Covid-19 et responsabilité pénale milieu professionnel » vise à s’appesantir sur les considérations de la Covid-19 dans la mise en œuvre de la responsabilité pénale en milieu professionnel. Il s’agit de questionner son influence dans la mise en œuvre de la responsabilité pénale en milieu professionnel. Il est évident qu’entre la santé et la liberté, les agents en milieu professionnel devront à l’occasion de cette pandémie contrôler leur attitude personnelle et collective pour éviter la contamination et préserver leur santé, ou éviter la responsabilité pénale qui pourrait résulter de leurs agissements. Cette double action de l’agent illustre la double considération que l’on peut avoir de la Covid -19 face à la responsabilité pénale en milieu professionnel. D’abord qu’elle serait prise en considération pour établir le fondement de la responsabilité pénale, mais aussi qu’elle s’illustre comme une variable de détermination des pénalement responsables.
Engaging Undergraduate Nursing Students in Collaborative Research
Authors: Sullivan Louise , McCarty Ellen F. , Wood Emily , Cabral Emily 
Published: April 2024

Background
Nurses are expected to base practice on evidence from research, which requires an understanding of the research process. However, baccalaureate nursing students may find research courses uninteresting or feel unprepared to conduct research. Participation in experiential research projects may affect their research attitudes, knowledge, and skills.

Method
Nursing investigators engaged nursing students in an experiential, active learning research project centered on the effects of pet interaction involving university students. Faculty mentored and partnered with nursing students, immersing them in all research processes.

Results
Students confirmed that participation in the project enhanced their understanding of research, improved their clinical and communication skills, and fostered professional growth. Students presented results in a scientific poster at the University's research event.

Conclusion

Collaborative faculty-student research projects enhance students' interest in and appreciation of evidence-based research, and support professional development, confidence in assuming research roles, and feelings of connection with faculty, each other, and the university.

D’un « je décris » à un « jeu d’écrits ». À propos de la transmission des pratiques de la pédagogie institutionnelle
Authors: Benasé-Rebeyrol Sandrine 
Published: April 2024

L’observation d’une séance d’un cours de licence, sur et avec les outils de la pédagogie institutionnelle, a fait l’objet d’un compte-rendu écrit. Sa rédaction a fait émerger deux séries de questions. En premier lieu : comment décrire ce qui a été observé et vécu ? Comment décrire l’inobservable ? J’y ai répondu par le choix d’une forme d’écriture, permettant de faire des allers-retours entre l’observé et les textes fondateurs de la pédagogie institutionnelle, afin de rendre compte, par un jeu de miroir, de la modalité d’enseignement choisie. En second lieu : dans quelle mesure cette pratique de la pédagogie institutionnelle, utilisée dans un contexte différent de celui des textes fondateurs, en est-elle une transposition ? Cette seconde interrogation permet d’élaborer une analyse des processus de transmission et de filiation sous-jacents, fondée sur une approche clinique d’orientation psychanalytique.
L’université entre fonction culturelle et fonction professionnelle avec Habermas, Renaut et Ricœur
Authors: Psomas Sandra 
Published: April 2024

Pour penser l’université, l’enjeu de ses fonctions, de ses finalités s’avère essentiel, en soulevant la question de son orientation, de son sens, à l’instar des rôles de l’éducation scolaire, et il se renouvelle dans des réflexions philosophiques contemporaines prenant en considération son évolution. Au sein des débats et controverses, la tension entre fonction culturelle et fonction professionnelle s’avère saillante, comme le montrent les pensées de trois figures, soit Habermas, Renaut et Ricœur. L’université, ayant connu des transformations notamment avec la massification et l’élargissement de la professionnalisation, doit-elle détenir un rôle essentiellement voire exclusivement professionnel ou culturel ? Doit-elle articuler ces deux pôles fonctionnels ? Doit-elle se consacrer à la théorie ou à la technique, à la pratique, ou doit-elle articuler, relier ces dimensions ? Nous verrons en quoi les thèses de Renaut, de Ricœur et de Habermas se rapprochent et se différencient, se singularisent.

Abstract
Ag-specific effector CD4+ T cells play a crucial role in defending against exogenous pathogens. However, the mechanisms governing the differentiation and function of IFN-γ–producing effector CD4+ Th1 cells in immune responses remain largely unknown. In this study, we elucidated the pivotal role of zinc finger protein 335 (Zfp335) in regulating effector Th1 cell differentiation and survival during acute bacterial infection. Mice with Zfp335 knockout in OT-II cells exhibited impaired Ag-specific CD4+ T cell expansion accompanied by a significant reduction in resistance to Listeria infection. Furthermore, Zfp335 deficiency restricted the effector CD4+ Th1 cell population and compromised their survival upon Listeria challenge. The expression of T-bet and IFN-γ was accordingly decreased in Zfp335-deficient Th1 cells. Mechanistically, Zfp335 directly bound to the promoter region of the Lmna gene and regulated its expression. Overexpression of Lmna was able to rescue the survival and function of Zfp335-deficient effector Th1 cells. Therefore, our study provides novel insights into the mechanisms governing effector Th1 cell differentiation and survival during acute infection.

Abstract

Introduction:
Carcinoma esophagus has heterogeneous and changing epidemiology and clinicopathological characteristics. A thorough literature search revealed a knowledge gap regarding esophageal cancers in this sub-Himalayan region.

Materials and Methods:
This prospective, descriptive, observational study was conducted at a tertiary institute in the sub-Himalayan region, including 119 patients from January 2021 to December 2022. Patients above 18 years of age with histologically proven cancer esophagus and giving their informed consent were recruited. The aim was to study the clinicopathological characteristics of adult patients with carcinoma esophagus. Descriptive data were collected, and statistical analysis was done using the SPSS version 23 software.

Results:
The mean age of presentation was 58.55 ± 10.76 years, with the male-to-female ratio of 1.70:1 and rural-to-urban distribution of 2.05:1. Distribution was higher at higher altitudes. The majority of patients consumed large amounts of hot beverages on a regular basis (83.2%). The disease was more common in the lower (V) and upper lower (IV) socioeconomic status. Progressive dysphagia (Grade III to V in 96.6%), loss of appetite, and unintentional significant weight loss were the common presenting symptoms. The most common involved subsite was middle thoracic (53.4%), followed by lower thoracic (40.5%), upper thoracic (28.4%), and cervical esophagus (12.1%). Only 12.6% of patients presented as Stage II, the rest were in a higher stage. All patients were having squamous cell carcinoma except one case (0.8%) of adenocarcinoma and small-cell carcinoma and two cases (1.6%) of NET. The mean primary delay was 1.73 ± 0.90 months, and the mean secondary delay was 1.02 ± 0.77 months.

Conclusion:
Our results align with the published literature with additional observations of changes in disease distribution with altitudes. However, a following study is required for trend analysis and develop policies for the primary prevention and early detection of carcinoma esophagus.
Theory of mind deficit in women with breast cancer and depression
Authors: Datta Arunima , Guha Prathama , Rathi Megha , Chaudhuri Tamohan 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Studies have established that Theory of Mind (ToM) is impaired in patients with depression, but few studies have investigated the status of ToM in breast cancer patients who often suffer from depression. Our objective was to compare the ToM deficits in women with breast cancer with and without depression with a control group.

Methods:
The study was conducted at the Oncology department of a multi-speciality hospital in Kolkata. It was a cross sectional matched control study. We compared the ToM performance of women with breast cancer and depression (N=39), breast cancer without depression (N=63) and a healthy control group (N=34) using the widely used ToM task, Reading the Mind in the Eyes test (Eyes Test). Depression was diagnosed using Mini - International Neuropsychiatric Interview following International Classification of Diseases - 10th edition guidelines. Chi-square and one-way analysis of variances was done.

Results:
Both groups of patients had greater impairment in ToM compared to healthy controls (p<0.05). Among breast cancer patients, presence of depression predicted even greater impairment of ToM (p<0.05). Lower income, less education and not being in any occupation other than homemaking were associated with greater ToM impairment across all groups (p<0.05).

Conclusion:
Breast cancer patients suffering from depression may have an additional burden of impaired social cognition, which may reduce their ability to shore up social support when it is most required. This needs to be addressed urgently to ensure better quality of life.
Assessment of health-related quality of life in cancer patients undergoing treatment using Health Utilities Index (HUI-3Ò) in East Delhi, India
Authors: Gupta Utsav , Upadhyay Madhu K , Sharma Rahul 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a construct that focuses on the capacity for living afforded by the health status of a patient. Measurement of HRQOL allows a composite estimation of the capacity for living of a patient and can help capture the suffering experienced by the patient due to adverse effects of therapeutic interventions. This study was conducted to understand the health-related quality of life of cancer patients undergoing various modalities of treatment to generate evidence source for need-based intervention, to assess patients diagnosed with cancers, using Health Utilities Index - 3 (HUI-3Ò) and assign them single-score values to gauge HRQOL and to measure the various domains of HRQOL and change in HRQOL after a period of three months of treatment.

Methods:
A descriptive, longitudinal study was conducted amongst patients aged more than 18 years, who were diagnosed with cancer at a tertiary care multispecialty hospital in New Delhi. They were administered a standardized HUI-3 QuestionnaireÒ and their responses were recorded, simultaneously. Statistical significance for change in HRQOL score was assessed with paired t-test. Multivariate linear regression was used to identify the various correlates of HRQOL.

Results:
The mean (± standard deviation) overall HRQOL score for all participants was 0.71 (± 0.262) [range=-0.09 to 1.00]. A follow-up assessment was carried out after three months and changes in health scores were subsequently recorded. A significant decrease in mean overall HRQOL score was seen for the entire group after three months of having been administered treatment. Single-attributes of emotion and ambulation were maximally affected amongst cancer patients after three months of treatment. On linear regression analyses, baseline HRQOL was a significant correlate of HRQOL at follow-up after three months.

Conclusion:
Addressing the HRQOL of a cancer patient before starting treatment would address morbidity that might be present even after three months.
How common is burnout? Are there protective factors? A study from a tertiary cancer center
Authors: Hota Arati , Khan Joad Anjum S. 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Heathcare professionals (HCPs) in the field of oncology face challenging clinical situations, difficult conversations, and death. This can seriously affect their physical and psychological health.

Methods:
One hundred and eighty doctors and nurses participated in this descriptive study. The primary objective was to determine the proportion of burnout in HCPs in a tertiary care cancer hospital. The secondary objectives included assessment of psychological morbidity, correlation of burnout with demographic factors and years of experience, and resilience and its correlation with burnout. Data were collected using Maslach Burnout Inventory, General Health Questionnaire–28 (GHQ-28), and a Resilience scale (Dr. Vijaya Lakshmi and Dr. Shruti Narain). Descriptive statistics correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data.

Results:
One hundred and twenty-six (70%) respondents were young adults. Thirty-two (17.78%) respondents had a high Emotional Exhaustion (EE) score. A high Depersonalization score (DP) was seen in 24 (13.33%) and a low sense of Personal Accomplishment (PA) was perceived by 22 (12.22%). More nurses (55, 52.4%) had high resilience scores compared with doctors (21, 28%). Doctors (21, 28%) experienced more psychological morbidity than nurses (15, 14%). Among the domains of GHQ-28, high scores were observed in Somatic, Anxiety/Insomnia, and Social Dysfunction (mean 4.44 ± 3.92, 4.61 ± 3.85, and 4.54 ± 3.16, respectively) and low scores in the severe depression domain (mean 2.48/±3.29).

Conclusion:
Fifteen to eighteen percent of HCPs scored high levels of EE, DP, and low PA. Burnout was more common in doctors who had worked in the cancer center for longer. However, the converse was true for nurses. HCPs with high resilience scores had less burnout. Age and resilience protect from burnout.

Published: April 2024

Background:
The aim of this study was to investigate the application value of laparoscopic ultrasound (LU) in retroperitoneal radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma with Type II inferior vena cava tumor thrombectomy (RRN-RCC-TII-IVCTT).

Methods:
The clinical data (operative time, length of tumor thrombus, tumor length, intraoperative bleeding, clinical stage, histological type, residual tumor tissue, and postoperative follow-up) of 6 patients who underwent LU-guided RRN-RCC-TII-IVCTT were retrospectively analyzed, and the intraoperative experience of LU was also summarized.

Results:
All 6 patients recovered well with liver and kidney functions returning to normal, and no tumor recurrence, metastasis, or vena cava tumor thrombus.

Conclusions:
LU-guided RRN-RCC-TII-IVCTT is a feasible treatment option, which locates the tumor accurately by retroperitoneal approach and provides the additional benefit of reduced intraoperative bleeding and shortened operative time, also achieving the much sought-after goal of precision.

Authors: Edesa Wael A , Ayad Noha N , Mounir Ashraf M , Haggag Mamdouh H 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) are a spectrum of tumors that develop from placental tissue. We aimed to evaluate the management and treatment outcome of GTN.

Methods:
Patients diagnosed with GTN presented to Kasr Alainy Center of Clinical Oncology between 2008 and 2017 were included in this study. Patients were assigned to low or high-risk according to the World Health Organization (WHO) scoring system. All data were tabulated and statistically studied by descriptive analysis; comparison between the two groups was done using student t-test for continuous data and Chi-square test for categorical data.

Results:
A total of 111 patients were studied; the majority of them had WHO low-risk score. In low-risk group, the overall response rate to methotrexate-folinic acid (MTX- FA) or actinomycin D (ActD) was 48.5%, comparable response rate observed between MTX and ActD was 48.2% vs 50%, respectively. Those who received MTX-FA 8-day regimen had higher response rate compared to a weekly schedule, however, no statistical significant difference was observed (51.6% vs 44.4%, respectively, P = 0.586), all low-risk patients who failed MTX or ActD achieved complete remission (CR) with subsequent chemotherapy. Patients with WHO score 5–6 had a significantly lower CR rate compared to patients with scores <5, (28% and 60%, respectively; P = 0.01). Five-years overall survival was significantly lower in high-risk than low-risk patients (79.3% vs 100%, respectively, P = <0.001).

Conclusion:
Low-risk patients have a survival rate of 100% even if they did not respond to first-line chemotherapy, MTX-FA 8-day regimen seems to be more effective than MTX weekly regimen.
Prevalence and determinants of breast and cervical cancer screening among women aged between 30 and 49 years in India
Authors: Krishnamoorthy Yuvaraj , Ganesh Karthika , Sakthivel Manikandanesan 
Published: April 2024

Background:
Breast and cervical cancers are the two leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in India. Early diagnosis of these cancers through screening offers the best chance to achieve successful treatment outcomes. Hence, the current study was done to determine the prevalence and predictors of breast and cervical cancer screening among women aged 30-49 years in India.

Methods:
We have analyzed the most recent National Family Health Survey-4 data (NFHS-4) gathered from Demographic Health Survey program. Stratification and clustering in the sample design were accounted using svyset command. Adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was reported.

Results:
In total, 336,777 women aged 30-49 years were included. Proportion of women aged 30-49 years with history of breast cancer examination in their lifetime was 12.9% (95% CI: 12.6-13.2%), while it was 29.8% (95% CI: 29.3-30.3%) for cervical cancer. It was found that women aged 45-49 years (aPR=1.09), married (aPR=2.18), higher educational level (aPR=1.28), richest quantile (aPR=1.96), no history of pill use (aPR=1.24), obese (aPR=1.06), and healthy dietary habits (aPR=1.47) were more likely to be screened for breast cancer. Predictors for cervical cancer screening were higher age group (aPR=1.06), married (aPR=2.94), secondary educational level (aPR=1.05), richest quantile (aPR=2.24), nonpill user (aPR=1.24), nontobacco user (aPR=1.07), and lower parity (aPR=1.09).

Conclusion:
A total of 1 out of 10 women in reproductive age group were screened for breast cancer while less than one in three for cervical cancer. Hence, it is important to spread awareness and increase access to screening services to achieve early diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.
