Les chemins de traverse de la parole habitante
Authors: Safa Audrey 
Published: February 2024

Cet article propose de s’intéresser aux participations habitantes à l’action publique locale en matière de vie nocturne. La municipalité étudiée a mis en place un dispositif participatif autour des enjeux nocturnes, un « Conseil de la Nuit ». L’enquête montre que si certain·es habitant·es sont invité·es à prendre part aux débats sur la vie nocturne, ces dernier·es ne sont pas au centre de l’instance participative, qui reste avant tout tournée vers les patron-nes de bar. Les habitant·es s’investissent peu dans le dispositif participatif. Néanmoins, l’article montre que ces dernier·es ont d’autres ressources. Les habitant·es empruntent des chemins de traverse afin de porter leurs causes auprès des pouvoirs publics. Cette enquête repose sur une ethnographie réalisée grâce un stage de sept mois auprès de l’élu à la vie nocturne, complétée d’une quinzaine d’entretiens et de l’étude d’articles de presse.
Des fêtes sauvages ?
Authors: Mangin Gaëtan 
Published: February 2024

Les rassemblements d’automobiles sont des événements festifs de premier plan dans le petit monde des passionnés de voiture. Ils prennent place sur des espaces publics (parkings, terrains vagues…) et consistent à exposer, admirer ou encore raconter l’histoire de ces objets éclectiques. Si la plupart sont organisés par des associations en collaboration avec les pouvoirs publics, d’autres s’affranchissent de déclaration et de toutes règles explicites d’organisation et/ou de régulation. Cet article s’intéresse à ces derniers, qualifiés de « sauvages » à la fois dans les discours médiatiques et dans la parole vernaculaire. À partir d’une observation ethnographique au long cours d’un rassemblement régulier de la banlieue lilloise, nous montrerons qu’il s’agit de fêtes qui n’ont de « sauvage » que le nom. Nous ferons la lumière sur leurs mécanismes de régulation et leurs définitions des « bonnes conduites ». Nous verrons que ces rassemblements sont traversés par une extrême ambivalence entre une norme de convivialité et de fortes logiques de régulation, ségrégation voire exclusion.
Le Mas des gwoup-a-po dans le carnaval guadeloupéen : une pratique de résistance ?
Authors: Pavy Flore 
Published: February 2024

C’est dans le cadre d’un rapport de force d’ordre politique que le carnaval guadeloupéen, qui était sur le déclin, est réinvesti à la fin des années 1970. Face à des dissidents qui appellent pour la première fois à manifester pendant les Jours gras, les institutions régionales commencent, quant à elles, à travailler à la construction d’un carnaval économiquement rentable et politiquement inoffensif, offrant aux touristes le spectacle d’une Guadeloupe unie. En réaction à ce qui est perçu comme la confiscation d’une culture populaire, représentée surtout par les anciens gwoup-a-mas (groupes de masques), dont les derniers représentants sont en train de disparaître, de petits groupes se forment pour tenter de sauvegarder et redynamiser certaines pratiques associées au carnaval du peuple guadeloupéen, mais aussi aux anciennes fêtes serviles et à leur potentiel subversif, toujours étroitement encadrées : les gwoup-a-po . Cet article repose sur une enquête ethnographique en immersion de deux ans dans l’un de ces groupes, Voukoum, et sur de nombreux entretiens menés en créole. Il propose de montrer comment le rituel propre aux gwoup-a-po – le Mas –, qui est d’abord l’expression d’une résistance contre la disparition de pratiques culturelles ouvrières, se construit progressivement à travers le récit de la réitération rituelle d’une forme de résistance quotidienne de leurs ancêtres réduits en esclavage.

Cloud leakage in higher education in South Africa: A case of University of Technology
Authors: Ntloedibe Tshepiso , Foko Thato , Segooa Mmatshuene A. 
Published: February 2024

Background: Users with knowledge of an organisation can pose risks to Cloud Computing, including current and past employees and external stakeholders with access to the organisation’s cloud. These insiders may engage in intentional or unintentional disruptive behaviors, causing significant harm to the organisation. A study focused on insider threats in South African higher education examined the tactics used by cybersecurity leaders to enforce cybersecurity policies.Objectives: The goal of this study was to develop a comprehensive insider mitigation framework for cloud leakage in a South African University.Method: The study employed qualitative methodologies and a case study approach. Open-ended interviews were conducted to collect data from the participants. The collected data was coded and analysed using ATLAS.ti 22.Results: The study’s findings revealed that some of the major sources of cloud leakage are a lack of effective training, ineffective information security (IS) policy regulation, and the implementation of information security awareness workshops that provided advice on how information security should be managed in the university.Conclusion: Insider threats pose a serious risk to organisations. To mitigate this threat, it is crucial for organisations to establish strong security policies and closely monitor employee activities. By conducting a thorough assessment of insider threats, organisations can enhance their understanding of this dynamic threat and strengthen their defenses.Contribution: Although every employee is ultimately responsible for an organisation’s security, the most effective IS programmes demonstrate strong top-level leadership by setting a ‘tone at the top’ and promoting the benefits of IS through careful policy and guidance.

Authors: Chethana Ramegowda , Kiruffi Divyarajan Vinitha , Seema K. S. , Shivalingaiah Anwith Huluvadi 
Published: February 2024

Background and Aim:
Adolescent pregnancy has become an important health and social issue in both developing and developed countries. According to the National Family Health Survey-5, the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in India is 6.8%. Adolescent pregnancy has shown association with preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal death, miscarriage, puerperal sepsis, mental illness, and maternal death. With this background, this study was taken up with the objective to delineate the maternal and neonatal complications seen in teenage pregnant women.

Materials and Methods:
This study was a retrospective case record analysis with descriptive study design of all adolescent pregnancies delivered between October 2021 and September 2022 with mother’s age being ≤19 years, at a first referral hospital in Bengaluru were included in the study. Participants who could not be contacted were excluded from the study.

Results:
Out of the 1005 deliveries during the study period, 55 were adolescent pregnancy with a proportion of 5.47%. The most common maternal complication is pregnancy-induced hypertension (8.5%) and the most common neonatal complication is low birth weight (21.2%).

Conclusions:
Despite continuous and consistent efforts by the health-care administration and health-care personnel under maternal and child national health program, the expected outcomes in terms of usage of contraception and delaying first pregnancy have not been attained.
Seroprevalence Study of Dengue at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jaipur, Rajasthan
Authors: Singla Ashina , Ali Afreen , Galav Himanshi , Mamoria Ved Prakash 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Dengue is one of the most severe mosquito-borne viral infection. In the absence of specific treatments and vaccines for dengue fever (DF), vector control is the only method by which the spread of dengue can be prevented. This study investigates the seroprevalence of DF cases by detecting NS1 antigen and immunoglobulin (Ig)-G and IgM antibody by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test.

Materials and Methods:
This study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, at a Tertiary Care Hospital, Jaipur (Rajasthan), done between 6 months. Blood samples from clinically suspected cases of dengue were tested immediately for qualitative detection of NS1 Ag, IgM, and IgG antibodies by ELISA.

Results:
One thousand seven hundred and sixty-three serum samples were tested for dengue NS1 antigen, IgM, and IgG, out of which 1066 were positive for one or more serological parameters. Dengue cases for the NS1 infection are 52.53%, for the IgM infection is 33.39%, and for the IgG infection is 14.07%. Sixty-two percentage positive samples were of male patients and 57% of positive samples were from 19 to 40 years of age group (adult population) (59%). The seasonal trend showed a gradual increase in dengue-positive cases that started in September with a peak in October (46.24%).

Conclusion:
The monsoon and postmonsoon seasons are times of high virus activity and enhanced vector breeding. The population must thus be constantly monitored to prevent the virus from spreading further, and serological tests are crucial for making an early diagnosis. ELISA is advised for all suspected dengue patients to initiate therapy and decrease the morbidity and fatality rate.

Authors: Sheetal S. , Gladson Nikhil , Ram Chandana , Sujan Joel Varghese 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an abnormal vascular shunt from the carotid artery to the cavernous sinus. The characteristic clinical features include chemosis, proptosis, ocular bruit, headache, diplopia, and ophthalmoplegia. The classical radiological features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) include proptosis, extraocular muscle enlargement, dilatation of the superior ophthalmic vein, and ipsilateral cavernous sinus enlargement. We report the case of a 66-year-old female who presented with headache, redness of the right eye, and double vision, who had features of CCF on MRI.
Bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis in a Malaysian tertiary hospital: Report of four cases
Authors: WH Kang , Wahab Norasyikin Abdul 
Published: February 2024

Rationale:Adrenal histoplasmosis can present as bilateral adrenal enlargement with constitutional symptoms and/or adrenal insufficiency. Often these patients are initially investigated as secondary adrenal metastases before eventually their diagnosis established by histopathological examination of the adrenal tissues.Patients concerns:We report 4 cases of patients aged 55-78 who presented with hypocortisolism and bilateral adrenal masses.Diagnoses:Bilateral adrenal histoplasmosis.Interventions:Three patients received antifungal treatment for at least one year while 1 patient passed away before the initiation of antifungal treatment.Outcomes:Two patients’ adrenal function recovered not requiring any steroid replacement, while 1 patient still requires long-term steroid replacement.Lessons:Adrenal histoplasmosis should be excluded in patients from endemic areas presenting with bilateral adrenal masses and adrenal insufficiency. Usually patients have an exposure to bird droppings, bat guano or soil contaminated with histoplasmosis fungi. Histopathological examination of biopsied adrenal tissues is still the gold standard investigation as serology and molecular diagnostic methods are still not widely available in most centers in Malaysia.

Authors: Verma Damini , Mendiratta Vibhu , Garg Taru , Tripathi Smita , Tomer Shaili 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
Many studies have associated male androgenetic alopecia with the risk of cardiovascular disorders but very few studies have addressed this association in women with FPHL.

Materials and Methods:
This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study in which a total of 50 women (18-45 years) were recruited. The objective was to measure carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) by doppler ultrasound, Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin, testosterone, Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), hs-CRP, ESR and fibrinogen, in pre-menopausal women having FPHL and to correlate these parameters with severity of FPHL. The prevalence of Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and Insulin resistance were evaluated.

Results:
Metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance were found in 12 (24%) and 17 (34%) cases respectively. Hypercholesterolemia, elevated LDL levels and hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL levels and hyperinsulinemia were found in 11 (22%), 31 (62%), 9 (18%), 17 (34%) and 7 (14%) cases respectively. 8 (16%) cases were diabetics. Elevated ESR, increased fibrinogen levels and elevated hs-CRP were found in 43 (86%), 10 (20%) and 21 (42%) cases respectively. CIMT was found to be within its normal range. Correlation of CIMT, anthropometric indices (BMI and WC), biochemical markers (serum cholesterol, triglycerides, FBS, and fibrinogen), and presence of metabolic syndrome with severity of FPHL in terms of Ludwig grade was found to be statistically significant.

Conclusions:
The determination of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and acute phase reactants such as hs-CRP and fibrinogen may be useful screening methods to detect increased cardiovascular risk in women with FPHL.
Quality of Life in Psoriasis: A Cross-Sectional Study from North India
Authors: Arora Khushboo , Hazarika Neirita , Kumari Ranjeeta , Chawla Himanshu 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory papulo-squamous disease characterized by multiple remissions and relapses. This study aimed to assess the impact of psoriasis on the quality of life of patients.

Materials and Methods:
A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted enrolling 198 adult patients of psoriasis. The STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines for observational studies were followed. Clinical severity of psoriasis was measured using Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), and quality of life was measured by EuroQoL 5D (EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS) and Psoriasis Quality-Of-Life-12 (PQOL-12) Questionniares.

Results:
Of the 198 patients, 71.7% (n = 142/198) were males with a mean age of 41.65 ± 13.19 years. The mean PASI score was 12.46 ± 11.51, and the mean PQOL-12 score was 50.18 ± 23.36. Up to 22.7% (n = 45) cases had ‘severe’ and 6.1% (n = 12) cases has ‘very severe’ PQOL-12 scores. Statistically significant correlation (P < 0.05) was observed between PASI scores and almost all domains of EQ-5D-5L and PQOL-12.

Conclusion:
Psoriasis affects most psycho-social domains of a patient’s life. Coping with these QOL issues remains a challenge to the patients in everyday life. The goal of management of psoriasis therefore must include measures to improve quality of life along with long-lasting remittance of physical symptoms.
Description of Occupational Contact Dermatitis Related to the Use of Personal Protective Equipment with a History of Atopy in Health Workers at Prof. DR. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara and H. Adam Malik Hospital
Authors: Hazlianda Cut P. , Nababan Kristo A. , Elvira Yesie , Nahrisyah  
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Coronavirus disease 2019 was declared a pandemic by WHO in March 2020. The Indonesian Ministry of Health has recommended many prevention strategies including the use of hand sanitizers (HSs) and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), especially for healthcare workers. Previous research reported that the increase in the use of HS and PPE is directly proportional to the increase in the incidence of occupational skin diseases.

Aims:
To find out the prevalence of work-related contact dermatitis patients related to the use of PPE in healthcare workers at Prof. DR. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara and H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, with a history of atopy dermatitis.

Materials and Methods:
This was a descriptive study including 104 healthcare workers. The results of the study were analysed using prevalence and frequency data distribution.

Results:
In this study, we found that the majority of occupational skin diseases in healthcare workers are female (n = 64; 62.5%), and the most common age group was 31–33 years old (44.2%). The incidence of contact dermatitis due to the use of PPE in healthcare workers at Prof. DR. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara and H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, was found only in 15 subjects (14.4%), and only 5 (33.3%) of them had a history of suffering from atopy dermatitis.

Conclusion:
There is high prevalence of contact dermatitis due to PPE at Prof. DR. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara and H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan; in 104 research subjects, only 15 people (14.4%) suffered from work-related contact dermatitis with a history of atopy in 5 people (33.3%).
Systemic Sclerosis in Males—Deciphering the Enigma of Erasmus Syndrome
Authors: Sharma Reena K. , Gupta Mudita 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease characterized by fibrosis in skin and internal organs. Chronic exposure to silica may not only lead to silicosis of lungs but also systemic sclerosis. Systemic sclerosis is relatively commoner in females; however, occupational exposure to silica in males makes them vulnerable to silica--associated systemic sclerosis (Erasmus syndrome).

Objective:
To describe the clinico-epidemiological aspects of systemic sclerosis in males in a retrospective cohort study.

Materials and Methods:
The data were analysed retrospectively for demographic profile and clinical characteristics including examination findings, laboratory investigations, and treatments of all male patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis with or without silica exposure, managed from January 2018 to December 2021.

Results:
Eight out of twelve patients were having silica exposure in the form of stone cutting, cement exposure, and working with concrete. The average age was 55 ± 10.72 years with average smoking exposure of around 24.4 ± 12.8 pack years. Skin thickening was reported by all patients with an average modified Rodnan score of 18.33/51 in diffuse and 7/51 in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Raynaud’s phenomenon and sclerodactyly were universal findings, while 9 (75%) patients had digital pitted scars. Antinuclear antibodies were present in all patients and specific antibodies substantiated the clinical assessment in almost all patients. Interstitial lung disease was the most common systemic finding present in 11 (91%) patients and tuberculosis was diagnosed in 2 (25%) cases with silica exposure. Gastrointestinal and cardiac system involvement was seen in 5 (41.6%) and 4 (33.3%) patients, respectively.

Conclusion:
Systemic sclerosis in males against the gender predilection indicates the role of occupational exposure. Silicosis and systemic sclerosis synergistically add to lung damage, and at the same time, these patients are more prone to infections like tuberculosis.
X-linked Dyskeratosis Congenita Case with Mutation 1058C>T(p.Ala353Val) in Dyskerine Gene
Authors: Oktem Ayse , Kocyigit Pelin , Tuncalı Timur , Kahraman Ulviyye , Ozbolat Sumeyra 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome and telomere biology disorder, usullay consisting of a triad of oral leucoplakia, dystrophic nails, reticular skin pigmentation. The diagnosis in the majority of cases can be made following all the clinical findings of this triad are established. Here we report 7 years-old boy who had oral leukoplakia and nail abnormality without skin involvement, associated with bone marrow failure diagnosed with X-linked DC due to dyskerin (DKC1) mutation. Our report emphasizes the fact that clinical suspicion can prevent fatal consequences since all manifestations may not always be seen collectively.
Clinico- Therapeutic Study of Stevens Johnson Syndrome-Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis and Prognostic Significance of SCORTEN in Indian Patients
Authors: Jangid Neha Chetan , Choudhary Ankita Nirmal , Shah Bela Jashwantlal , Shah Shikha Rupalkumar , Vyas Harshita R , Mistry Deval 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening dermatological emergencies. SCORTEN (SCORe of toxic epidermal necrolysis) is a validated score to predict mortality; however, there is a paucity of data to determine its usefulness in the Indian population.

Objective:
To evaluate the accuracy of SCORTEN as a prognostic marker in SJS-TEN.

Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital for two years. SCORTEN was calculated on days one and three of admission. The actual death rates were compared to the predicted rates as estimated by the SCORTEN by standardised mortality ratio analysis (SMR).

Results:
Of 40 cases included in the study, the mean age was 36.2 ± 14 years (range 11–65) with the male: female ratio being 1.67:1. Antibiotics (37.5%) were the most common group followed by anticonvulsants (22.5%). Comorbidities were observed in 60% of cases, with epilepsy (17.5%) and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection (12.5%) being common. On univariate analysis, heart rate > 120/min, epidermal detachment > 10% BSA, and Se HCO3 (bicarbonate) <20 mmol/L were associated significantly with the death of the subjects (P < 0.05). The observed mortalities were 4.34%, 0, 0 and 80% for SCORTEN 0–1 (3.2%), 2 (12.1%), 3 (35.8%) and 4 (58.3%) respectively when compared to expected mortality. SMR of SJS was 0.69 and of TEN was 1.49.

Conclusion:
SCORTEN gave an overestimation of mortality in patients with lower scores and an underestimation of mortality in patients with higher scores in our study. Minor refinements based on the study population may increase the predictive accuracy of the original scale.
Zoon’s Balanitis – Update of Clinical Spectrum and Management
Authors: Relhan Vineet , Kumar Abhinav , Kaur Aneet 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Zoon’s balanitis or balanitis plasmacellularis circumscripta is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the genital mucosa that can affect both males and females (Zoon’s vulvitis). It is not a sexually transmitted disease but can still cause anxiety to the patients because of its chronic nature. Hence, proper diagnosis and early management are necessary. It is a clinical mimicker of other commoner genital dermatoses and is mostly a diagnosis of exclusion when other diseases have been ruled out. It is characterised by a well-demarcated shiny erythematous patch or plaque over the genital mucosa. Histopathological examination becomes necessary when we are unable to differentiate it from premalignant lesions. It reveals lozenge-shaped keratinocytes with siderophages, haemorrhages and variable plasma cell infiltrate in the dermis. Dermoscopy shows spermatozoa-like, convoluted vessels with structureless red orange areas. Response to topical therapy alone is not always satisfactory. However, lasers and surgical management can provide long-term remission.
