Shaping a Collective Identity through Self-Representation: Early Suffrage Autobiographies and the Militant Experience
Authors: Clément Chloé 
Published: March 2024

This essay aims to demonstrate the interdependent relationship between self-representation and collective identity in the militant suffrage campaign by focusing on two early suffragette autobiographies, Emmeline Pankhurst’s My Own Story and Constance Lytton’s Prisons and Prisoners. Both published in 1914, these autobiographies establish a common militant experience in the suffrage campaign of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) through the personal accounts and testimonies of their authors. Transformed into political tools, these autobiographies blur the limits between private experience and public sharing. Constance Lytton and Emmeline Pankhurst indeed share how personal narratives fit with political objectives and manifest a collective purpose: that of promoting and legitimizing the militant suffrage campaign. Studying Lytton’s and Pankhurst’s militant experiences portrayed in their autobiographies, observing the reception of these personal writings, or identifying the way the militant spirit is built through reproductions of personal experiences will therefore demonstrate how self-representation shaped and supported the WSPU’s collective identity. The reproduction of imprisonments, hunger strikes or other militant actions assert defining characteristics of militant experience and contribute to emphasise a collective identity built upon self-sacrifice, devotion, and martyrdom. While these autobiographies demonstrate how the self-representation of individual experiences had a collective purpose and influence over a community, they also describe how notions of self-representation and collective identity are reciprocal. Lytton’s autobiography, for instance, represents her journey as a suffragette who sought to fit in by adapting her militancy to the movement’s collective identity. Therefore, My Own Story and Prisons and Prisoners not only act as platforms to share one’s story of the suffrage movement but also demonstrate the political power of personal experiences in creating a spirituality that included personal militant experiences into a greater collective environment. These early suffrage autobiographies thus become essential tools in questioning and understanding the relationship between personal and collective, private and public.
PAC 2023-2027 : applications et effets redistributifs de la surprime dans les États membres de l’UE
Authors: Lécole Pauline 
Published: March 2024

Les plans stratégiques nationaux rassemblent les choix d’application des États membres pour la PAC 2023-2027. L’autrice analyse les choix redistributifs des États. À partir de ces derniers, elle propose une projection de la distribution des aides pour 2023 qu’elle compare à une distribution des aides sans les outils de redistribution prévus. L’autrice identifie ainsi les États les plus volontaires. Puis, des scénarios ambitieux de redistribution des aides sont simulés en se concentrant sur un outil spécifique : le paiement redistributif. Ce paiement est distribué pour les premiers hectares de toutes les exploitations et vise à redistribuer une partie des aides vers les petites et moyennes exploitations. Les scénarios mettent en évidence différents arbitrages politiques selon les modalités d’application du paiement redistributif.
Exposer l’architecture vernaculaire
Authors: Labied Nadya Rouizem 
Published: March 2024

Pour un architecte, exposer l’art de bâtir traditionnel au début des années 1980 est un acte militant. Quinze ans après l’exposition manifeste de l’architecte théoricien et voyageur autrichien Bernard Rudofsky (1905-1988), « Architecture without Architects » au MoMA en 1964, c’est l’architecte belge Jean Dethier (né en 1939) qui réinterroge la place de l’architecte en revalorisant les savoir-faire vernaculaires à travers « Des architectures de terre », qu’il organise en 1981 dans la galerie du CCI au Centre Pompidou. Cependant, tandis que Rudofsky exclut l’architecte de ces techniques et ces savoir-faire ingénieux, qu’il présente justement comme instructives pour la profession, Dethier intègre ses confrères en exposant aussi leurs propres compétences. À travers plusieurs parallèles avec « Architecture without Architects », cet article s’attache à montrer comment exposer le vernaculaire au sein d’institutions consacrées à la modernité parvient à faire un succès mondial de chacune de ces deux expositions, tout en réinterrogeant la place de l’architecte dans la réactualisation des pratiques traditionnelles.
Montrer l’architecture au musée du Grand Siècle
Authors: Gady Alexandre 
Published: March 2024

Qu’elles soient monographiques, typologiques ou thématiques, les expositions d’architecture soulèvent des questions complexes de mise en scène, plus ardues peut-être pour les époques antérieures à 1800 que dans le cas de l’architecture contemporaine. Une longue expérience tirée de plusieurs commissariats a amené l’auteur à réfléchir à la mise en exposition de l’architecture, à destination d’un public le plus large possible, sans renoncer à une approche scientifique exigeante. Fondée sur la réunion d’une grande variété d’œuvres en deux et trois dimensions, sur leur juxtaposition au long du parcours et sur une scénographie qui cherche à être spectaculaire, cette « recette » empirique a ainsi permis de mettre en valeur de grands architectes, tels Jules Hardouin-Mansart (2009) ou Soufflot (2013), mais également des expositions thématiques, par exemple sur l’urbanisme des Lumières (2005), l’hôtel particulier parisien (2011) ou encore le métier d’architecte au XVIIe siècle (2017).Ces expériences et ces questionnements ont été essentiels dans la réflexion et la conception d’un nouveau musée, dédié au Grand Siècle, créé en 2019. L’architecture a pu y être intégrée dès l’origine, à différentes échelles : du site patrimonial au monument accueillant l’institution, des salles recréant des espaces du XVIIe siècle aux maquettes monumentales d’édifices-clefs, enfin au moyen des artefacts attendus (tableaux, dessins, livres, médailles, instruments, etc.).

Published: March 2024

Background:Establishing a link between diet and cancer is an epidemiological challenge, and such relationships have not been thoroughly investigated.Objectives:We aimed to explore the presence of a possible relationship between diet and colorectal cancer.Material and Methods:This case–control study was conducted at the Government Medical College, Jammu, a regional cancer center in Jammu and Kashmir in North India. We collected the dietary information from 1 year prior to the date of diagnosis for a total of 100 patients with colorectal cancer, 100 hospital controls, and 100 healthy controls. Data were collected by administering the food frequency questionnaire as a part of a personal interview. Data were analyzed using the Chi-squared test, and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results:The risk of colorectal cancer among men who consumed alcohol was greater than that among the healthy controls (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.27–5.31). Similarly, risk was greater among those who consumed hot tea (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 0.99–3.31). The odds of developing colorectal cancer were 4–19 times higher with the consumption of red meat, while of consumption of fruits, vegetables, wheat and pulses with rice once a day conferred significant protection to participants in both the control groups. Consumption of dairy products and ghee also seemed to confer protection against colorectal cancer, ranging from 39% to 95% and 77% to 85%, respectively. The odds of consumption of pickled foods were significantly higher among those with colorectal cancer as compared to the healthy controls (OR: 2.0–3.63).Conclusions:The consumption of certain foods and beverages such as alcohol, hot tea, red meat, and pickles is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Thus, our results suggest that the risk of developing colorectal cancer is associated with dietary habits and that effective prevention is possible.

Background:
Choriocarcinoma is the most common form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia seen by medical oncologists. It is a rare condition and data related to its long-term outcomes from the Indian subcontinent are sparse.

Objectives:
The primary objective of this study was to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with of choriocarcinoma; the secondary objective was to assess the correlation of outcomes with risk stratification.

Materials and Methods:
This single-center retrospective study was conducted at the Tata Medical Center, a tertiary cancer center in West Bengal, India. We identified all the cases of choriocarcinoma treated at our hospital from the electronic medical records and noted their baseline characteristics, treatment details, and clinical outcomes. Descriptive statistics were used for baseline characteristics, and the Kaplan–Meier method was used for the survival analysis.

Results:
A total of 24 patients were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 29 years (interquartile range, 25.9–39.5). The median time interval from the last pregnancy was 5 months (range, 0 months to 11 years). The World Health Organization risk score was low in 8 (33.3%) and high in 16 (66.7%) patients. There were 6 (25%) patients who received single-agent chemotherapy, 14 (66.7%) received the EMA-CO (etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine) regimen, and 1 (4.7%) received the VIP (etoposide, ifosfamide, and cisplatin) regimen, with the latter 2 being given only to high-risk patients. The median follow-up was 10.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.2–28.5). The median progression-free survival was not reached (NR) (95% CI, 7.2–NR). Similarly, the median overall survival was NR (95% CI, 10.56–NR).

Conclusion:
Our study provides real-world data for this rare malignancy and reinforces the fact that choriocarcinoma is a highly curable disease. Despite the clinicopathological variations in the different parts of the country, the long-term outcomes are favorable.
Oncologists’ perceptions of the need for assessing individual domains in the geriatric assessment and worthwhile outcomes in treating older patients with cancer
Authors: Noronha Vanita , Kalra Devanshi , Ramaswamy Anant , Gattani Shreya C , Menon Nandini , Patil Vijay M , Prabhash Kumar 
Published: March 2024

Background:
Although the multidimensional geriatric assessment (GA) is considered the standard of care, it is not uniformly practiced. In older patients with cancer, shared decision-making requires a clear understanding of the goals of therapy.

Objectives:
We aimed to understand the perceptions of health-care professionals of the need to assess the various domains in the GA and what would constitute worthwhile outcomes in older patients with cancer.

Materials and Methods:
An online questionnaire survey was conducted by the geriatric oncology group of the Department of Medical Oncology at the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, India. Participants in the survey included various health professionals with an interest in the care of older patients with cancer. Data were collected in Microsoft Excel and basic descriptive statistics were performed.

Results:
Between July and August 2020, 234 health-care professionals responded to the survey. The respondents included predominantly medical oncologists (146, 70.9%), practicing in academic centers (148, 65.6%) from India (168, 87%). According to 46% of the respondents, over 30% of the patients in their practices were in the geriatric age group; yet, 144 (73.8%) respondents reported that they referred <10% of their older patients with cancer for a GA. Almost all the respondents agreed that it was important to check for the presence of polypharmacy, inappropriate medications, comorbidities, drug interactions, falls, function, psychological status, cognition, nutrition, social support, and quality of life in the older patients with cancer. Over 95% of the respondents thought that formal training in the GA should be part of the oncology training programs. According to 139 respondents (63%), an improvement in the quality of life or a decrease in toxicity were more important goals of cancer-directed therapy in older patients with cancer, compared to prolongation of overall survival.

Conclusion:
There is a recognition of the importance of performing a multidimensional GA in older patients with cancer; however, this has not translated into a widespread performance of the GA in actual practice. It would be important to address the barriers to implementing the GA in the clinic, to help optimize the care of older patients with cancer. The goals of cancer-directed therapy should be clearly discussed with the patients in order for true shared decision-making to occur.
Clinical outcome of intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation with two different nomograms in keratoconus patients
Authors: Mounir Amr , Saghir Ahmed H. , Radwan Gamal , Aldghaimy Ahmad H. 
Published: March 2024

Aim
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effects of Keraring implantation in patients with keratoconus (KC) using a newly created nomogram (NN) based on cone location and Q value compared with the manufacturer’s standard nomogram (SN).

Patients and methods
This is a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial that included 100 keratoconic eyes of 100 patients. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups: group NN and group SN. Group NN underwent Keraring implantation based on the newly developed nomogram, while group SN followed the manufacturer’s standard nomogram. The primary outcome measures included visual acuity, different refractive measurements, keratometry values, and Q values, while the secondary outcome measure was Belin ABCD KC grading. All outcome measures were evaluated at 12 months postoperatively.

Results
The mean age of group NN was 22.96±7.45 years and that of group SN was 24.12±7.00 years, with no statistically significant difference (P=0.46). At 3 months postoperatively, group NN demonstrated substantial improvements compared with group SN. Group NN exhibited a greater improvement in uncorrected distance visual acuity [mean difference (MD) in LogMAR visual acuity=−0.61 compared with −0.31 in group SN, P<0.0001] and corrected distance visual acuity (MD: −0.34 LogMAR compared with −0.05 LogMAR in group SN, P<0.0001). Significant reductions were noted in sphere (MD: 4.22 D in group NN compared with 2.33 D in group SN, P<0.0001), refractive cylinder (MD: 2.87 D in group NN compared with 1.74 D in group SN, P=0.003), and spherical equivalent (MD: 5.56 D in group NN compared with 3.12 D in group SN, P<0.0001). Keratometric values and Belin ABCD grading system (particularly A and D categories) also showed more pronounced improvements in group NN than in group SN (P<0.0001).

Conclusion
The personalized approach of the new nomogram (NN) based on cone location and Q value resulted in superior visual, refractive, and corneal topographic outcomes compared with the standard nomogram (SN) during the implantation of Keraring in KC patients. The individualized nomogram allowed for more precise corneal reshaping and restoration of corneal asphericity.
Bicanalicular silicone intubation versus probing for the treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in children older than 2 years
Authors: Bayoumy Ahmed S. , Elmohamdy Mohamed N. , Abousaif Walid S. , Abdin Emad M. 
Published: March 2024

Background
One of the most common conditions presenting to the oculoplastic clinic is congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO), with an incidence of up to 20% in young children. Early probing as early as 18 months of age is usually associated with very good results. Conversely, the results of probing in older children and the need for intubation, either primary or secondary, are debatable in different studies.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of probing versus primary intubation in children older than 2 years having CNLDO.

Patients and methods
This prospective cohort comparative study was carried out on 40 eyes of 36 children, aged 2–7 years of both sexes, with epiphora due to CNLDO. The eyes were divided into two groups: group A that included 20 eyes that underwent probing, and group B that included 20 eyes that underwent intubation in whom the tube was removed after 3 months. The enrolled children were subjected to local ophthalmological examination, eye lid examination, puncti evaluation, regurge test, nasal evaluation, lacrimal pathway evaluation, and computed tomography dacryocystography before the procedure and 3 months after the procedure.

Results
The intubation group (group B) was found to have a higher success rate (90%) compared to the probing group (group A) (80%), although the difference was statistically insignificant (P=0.661). On univariate regression analysis, age, contrast volume, and most dilated portion of the lacrimal sac before the procedure were significant predictors for the success rate (P<0.001). In addition, there was a significant relationship between the success rate and age, most dilated portion, and contrast volume after the procedure (P<0.001).

Conclusion
There was a high success rate for both probing and intubation in older children above 2 years suffering from CNLDO. Although intubation was found to have a higher success rate, the difference was statistically insignificant.
Prevalence of punctal stenosis as a cause of obstructive epiphora
Authors: El-Wakil Farah R. , Elwan Sheriff , Zaki Rania G. , Elkitkat Rania S. 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of punctal stenosis in the patients presenting with eye watering due to obstructive epiphora.

Patients and methods
This descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective study included 75 eyes of 51 patients. The enrolled patients were classified into two groups; group 1 that included patients with punctal stenosis and group 2 that enrolled patients with obstructive epiphora due to other causes. Age subgrouping was performed to determine the prevalence of punctal stenosis among various age groups.

Results
The mean age of the patients was 52.32±16.19 years. Punctal stenosis was the most encountered cause of obstructive epiphora (32 patients=62.75%) in the study population. Punctal stenosis was also the most prevalent cause of obstructive epiphora (56.3%) in the oldest age subgroup (>60 years).

Conclusion
Punctal stenosis is the most common cause of obstructive epiphora in patients presenting with eye watering. Increasing age is the most important determinant of punctal stenosis.
Superior versus inferior conjunctival rotational flap in primary pterygium surgery
Authors: Mohammed Sahar I. , Gouda Ahmed T. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Conjunctival rotational flap is one of the surgical treatment options for pterygium with variable recurrence rates. Taking a conjunctival flap from the superior bulbar area is sometimes unfeasible due to scarring, ocular surface disease, or previous trabeculectomy.

Aim
This study aimed to compare the superior versus the inferior conjunctival rotational flap results following primary pterygium excision.

Patients and methods
This is a retrospective, interventional, comparative study that enrolled 120 patients having primary pterygium. The patients were recruited from the Ophthalmology Department, Beni Suef University Hospital, Beni Suef, Egypt during the period from June 2020 to June 2022. The patients were classified into two groups: group I that included 73 (60.8%) patients who underwent the superior conjunctival flap technique, and group II that included 47 (39.2%) patients who underwent the inferior flap technique. Slit-lamp findings were reported during the scheduled appointments, with a focus on pterygium recurrence and other complications. Postoperative follow-up was performed for 6–18 months.

Results
The recurrence rate among the inferior conjunctival flap group (12.8%) was higher than in the superior conjunctival flap group (9.6%), with no statistically significant difference (P=0.585). No additional postoperative complications, such as flap separation, dullen formation, or granulomas occurred in either group.

Conclusion
There was no statistically significant difference in the outcome of the superior and inferior conjunctival rotational flaps in primary pterygium excision. We propose that inferior conjunctival flap preference can result in favorable outcomes in circumstances where the superior bulbar conjunctiva is required for protection or cannot be used.
Comparative study between topical insulin, autologous serum, and honey-based eye drops as adjunctive treatment in resistant corneal ulcer
Authors: Mehrez Sarah M. , Ghoraba Mohammed E. , Hasby Hesham A. , Khater Mohammad M. 
Published: March 2024

Background
Resistant keratitis is a difficult situation faced every day in ophthalmology clinics. Resistance to healing may be attributed to many factors. Many adjunctive agents are widely used in a trial to accelerate healing and to prevent resistance to eliminate the chance of development of disabling complications.

Purpose
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of topical insulin, autologous serum, and honey-based eye drops as adjunctive therapies in resistant corneal ulcers.

Patients and methods
This prospective study investigated 45 eyes of infected keratitis not responding to culture-based medical treatment for 2 weeks. The eyes were divided into three groups each of 15 eyes. The insulin group was treated with topical insulin drops, the serum group with autologous serum drops, and the honey group with honey-based drops. Culture-based medical treatment was also continued in the three groups till complete healing was achieved. The results of the three groups were compared regarding the time needed for healing and best-corrected visual acuity outcome.

Results
Best-corrected visual acuity improved by one or more lines in 11 (73.33%) cases in the insulin group, in 10 (66.67%) cases in the serum group, and in nine (60%) cases in the honey group, with no statistically significant difference (χ
2=1.525, P=0.822). Healing occurred in 14–28 days in 12 (80%) cases in the insulin group, in 13 (86.67%) cases in the serum group, and in 10 (66.67%) cases in the honey group, with no statistically significant difference (χ
2=1.8, P=0.407). The remaining cases in each group required amniotic membrane transplantation due to thinning.

Conclusion
The effects of topical insulin, autologous serum, and honey-based eye drops, when used as adjunctive methods added to the culture-based medical therapy in the management of resistant corneal ulcers, were comparable. Autologous serum gave slightly higher effect than topical insulin and honey-based eye drops but the difference was statistically insignificant.
