La place des espaces naturels dans le secteur des arts de la rue : enjeux d’hier et d’aujourd’hui
Authors: Rouland Éléonore 
Published: February 2025

Les terminologies qui ont nommé les « arts de la rue » ont été définies par un besoin de reconnaissance, puis par le processus de leur institutionnalisation – elles ont cependant, dès leur émergence, été multiples et mouvantes. Car ce n’est bien évidemment pas la « rue », son bitume et ses trottoirs qui font leur essence : c’est le « dehors », en opposition au « dedans » de la salle. Du « Land Act » d’ilotopie aux créations contemporaines, les espaces naturels ont de fait toute leur place dans cette grande famille.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is the most serious long-term complication following an ankle sprain. Taping and bracing are frequently employed in the return to sport (RTS) continuum to avoid injury recurrence and to maximize post-injury performance. The Ankle-GO score is a valid and reliable objective RTS criteria, but the influence of ankle supports on this score in CAI patients remains unknown.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the induce effects of taping or bracing on the Ankle-GO score among patients suffering from CAI.
DESIGN: Crossover Study
SETTING: Sports medicine research laboratory
PATIENTS: Thirty CAI patients (13 males and 17 females, 33.4 ±11.7 years) performed the Ankle-GO score in three conditions (taping, bracing and no ankle support).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Ankle-GO is a 25-point score clustering 2 self-reported questionnaires (Foot and Ankle Ability Measure and Ankle Ligament Reconstruction-Return to Sport after Injury) and 4 functional tests (Single Leg Stance, Star Excursion Balance Test, Side Hop Test and Figure-of-eight test). Performances on each component as well as the total score were compared between conditions using repeated measures of ANOVA.
RESULTS: Taping and bracing significantly and equally improved the Ankle-GO score compared with no support (12.8 ±5.3 and 11.2 ±4.2 vs. 8 ±4.5 points respectively, P&lt;.001). However, significant improvements were found solely in self-reported questionnaires with ankle support (P&lt;.001). No differences were found in functional tests, although both taping and bracing significantly lowered instability perception during the tests (+1.9 and +1.8 points, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Ankle-GO scores were significantly enhanced with taping or bracing. However, only self-reported function and psychological readiness were improved. Functional performance was not altered, although external supports enhanced perceived stability. Both taping and bracing supports appear equally important in improving self-confidence and perceived ankle stability among individuals with CAI returning to sport.
Ethical perspectives on the Manguni bird: Integrating nature, humanity, and divine connection
Authors: Marbun Rencan C. 
Published: February 2025

The Manguni bird plays a central role in the cosmology of the Minahasa people as a symbol of nature, society and spirituality. In Minahasa tradition, the Manguni is not only regarded as a natural sign that provides clues about the good or bad nature of an event but also as a divine intermediary that brings messages from God (Opo Empung). Furthermore, Manguni serves as a social symbol that strengthens the cohesion of the Minahasa community, connecting humans, nature and God in spiritual harmony. This article discusses the role of Manguni in three aspects: as an ecological sign reflecting harmony with the environment, as a social bond representing the collective identity of Minahasa and as a medium that communicates divine messages. The article also highlights the importance of integrating ecology into contextual Christian theology, especially in regions rich in local cultural traditions.Contribution: This study seeks to formulate a new approach that accommodates the relevance of local spirituality and ecological theology, with Manguni as a key symbol in the relationship between humans, nature and God.
The creation of a Polish community in the Vaal Triangle, South Africa 1980-1989
Authors: Van Ingen-Kal Michaela , Macqueen Ian 
Published: February 2025

During the 1980s, amid a domestic crisis, almost a million Poles left their homeland, fleeing a failing socialist economy and a repressive regime. The majority settled in Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States of America, but some elected to relocate to South Africa. Drawing on Everett Lee’s ‘push and pull theory’, firstly, this article examines factors influencing the migration of Poles to South Africa. Secondly, it examines the formation of a Polish community in the Vaal Triangle and the importance of religion in consolidating the community and preserving a sense of Polish culture. By focussing on the Vaal Triangle during the 1980s, an area that attracted a proportionally higher number of Polish immigrants than other parts of the country, the article addresses the significance of its state industries as a magnet for skilled immigrants.Contribution: The article draws on South African newspaper coverage of Poland’s crisis as a comparative lens, together with interviews with members of the Polish community in South Africa and archival research.

Authors: Sourabh D. S. , Pant Champa , Pandey Ainanda 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:

Padadari (cracked feet) is a common problem with a high incidence and recurrence rate. In adolescents, obesity, malnutrition, poverty, barefoot walking, standing for a long time on hard floors, and neglect of self-care contribute to the development of Padadari.

Aims:
This study aimed to assess the effect of Sarala niryasa (pine resin), a folklore remedy for cracked feet in Uttarakhand, on adolescents suffering from Padadari.

Material and Methods:
In this within-individual study, 12 adolescents in the age group of 10–19 years enrolled by convenient sampling served as their controls. The control foot was assigned Siktha taila (sesame oil and bee wax warmed together) and the trial foot was assigned Sarala niryasa malahara (pine resin ointment) in a double-blind, randomized manner. Each drug was applied on the assigned foot every day twice for 1 month and data was collected on the 7th, 15th, and 30th days of the trial. Student’s paired t-tests for pre- and postanalysis and repeated measures ANOVA for within the group analysis were used, and unpaired t-test was used for comparing the trial and control groups.

Results:
Complete clearance of the index crack in the trial group was achieved in a mean of 16 days, while in the control group, it was 27 days. The trial group had a cure rate of 92% while the control group’s cure rate was 75%.

Conclusions:
Ointment in comparison to its vehicle was more effective in relieving the condition within a shorter duration of time corroborating the folkloric use of pine resin in the condition.

Authors: Kotrannavar Sangeeta S. , Kotrannavar Amulya , Humbarwadi Rajendra S. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT
Here, we are presenting a case of meningomyelocele, a severe form of spina bifida. It results from the nonclosure of the caudal end of the neural tube. It is an open neural tube defect (NTD) characterized by the protrusion of the meninges and spinal cord through a bifid spine defect in the lower thoracolumbar region associated with hydrocephalus and kyphoscoliosis comorbidities. We are discussing this case from anatomical perspectives. Understanding anatomy, embryogenesis, and genetic components helps to identify and diagnose the different NTDs. This case highlights the importance of early detection and intervention, coupled with the need for preconceptional education and comprehensive parental genetic counseling involving risks and options for future planning.

Authors: Shetty P. Shifa , Faisal Mohammed , Prabhu Niranjan 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
India’s rich biodiversity supports extensive ethnomedicine, where plants like Averrhoa carambola Linn. (Karmaranga) are used by folklore healers to treat conditions such as rheumatism and joint pain. In Ayurveda, joint pain (Sandhi shula) is linked to Sandhigata Vata, comparable to osteoarthritis (OA), a condition with high prevalence and significant impact on quality of life and healthcare costs.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to assess the therapeutic potential of fruit oil from Averrhoa carambola Linn. in the management of Janu Sandhigata vata (~OA of the Knee).

Materials and Methods:
Oil from Averrhoa carambola Linn. fruits was prepared and analyzed. A clinical study evaluated its efficacy in managing Sandhigata Vata concerning knee OA. Thirty patients were randomly selected and treated with Karmaranga Taila (Madhyama Paka) internally (15 drops twice daily) and Karmaranga Taila (Khara Paka) for local application once at night. Clinical changes were assessed every 14 days up to 28 days, with a follow-up 15 days posttreatment using various parameters such as joint pain, stiffness, swelling, crepitus, and tenderness and standard scales such as Oswestry Disability Index and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).

Results:
The clinical study revealed that Averrhoa carambola Linn. fruit oil significantly reduced pain, stiffness, crepitus, swelling, tenderness, restricted movements, and time taken to walk 30 m, climb 10 steps, and do 10 sit-ups, along with WOMAC and Oswestry disability scores. There was no significant change in radiological findings or patellar tap test results.

Conclusion:

Averrhoa carambola Linn. fruit oil, used both internally and externally, is beneficial in managing knee OA and warrants further exploration in larger samples.
Navigating through the complexities of bullous presentation of cutaneous lichen planus: A comparative study
Authors: Jain Pragya , Yadav Priya , Dixit Sonali , Grover Chander , Sharma Sonal 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Bullous spectrum of cutaneous lichen planus has two distinct forms lichen planus pemphigoids (LPPs) and bullous lichen planus (BLP). There is paucity of literature on the clinical, histopathological, and immunological profile of this rare presentation. We aim to describe the clinical, histological, and immunological features of this distinct form further proposing an algorithmic approach for diagnosis.

Methodology
We conducted a retrospective observational study and reviewed cases of LPP and BLP which were diagnosed in the last 10 years (2011–21). Relevant information (clinical presentation, histology, immunofluorescence finding) was noted on pre-structured proforma and was analyzed.

Results
Out of 1960 biopsies of cutaneous lichen planus, only 21 cases had clinical suspected bullous presentation while immunofluorescence was received for only 16 cases. BLP was seen in the younger age group in comparison with LPPs (25.7 years vs 36.8 years). Bulla was seen in all cases. Dermo-epidermal junctional split was seen in all cases of BLP and LPP. On direct immunofluorescence (DIF) all the cases of LPP either had 1-2+ IgG and/or C3 while cases of BLP were not immunoreactive or had only colloid bodies.

Conclusion
This study describes in detail the clinicopathological profile of BLP and LPP and reiterates the importance of DIF during workup to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.

Authors: Acharya Shankar , Acharya Aditya , Pandey Priyanka , Jain Arihant , Sharma Radhikaa 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Orthopedic, spine, and neurosurgeons face significant occupational hazards that impact their physical and mental health. Despite the demanding nature of their work, there is limited awareness and treatment-seeking behaviors regarding these risks. This study assesses awareness and treatment practices related to occupational hazards among these specialized surgeons.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted targeting orthopedic, spine, and neurosurgeons nationwide. Using convenience sampling, participants were recruited via social media. Data were collected through a semi-structured online questionnaire designed for self-administration and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 25.

Results:
A total of 210 surgeons participated, with a mean age of 44.1 ± 9.9 years. Over one-third (35.2%) had more than a decade of experience, and 71.0% were in private practice. More than half (57.6%) operated 5–25 cases weekly involving C-arm usage, and 68.1% consistently used personal protective equipment. The majority (81.9%) lacked formal training in managing occupational hazards. Most respondents experienced various occupational hazards, with 73.8% encountering needle stick injuries and 60.5% reporting acute backache. Furthermore, 65.0% experienced mental health issues since beginning their careers, and 59.5% felt unsupported by their workplace.

Conclusion:
The study highlights a critical gap in awareness and support for managing occupational hazards among orthopedic, spine, and neurosurgeons. There is a pressing need for formal training, ergonomic education, and systemic support to promote self-care and mitigate risks. Addressing these issues is essential for fostering a healthier, more resilient workforce.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
In spite of advancements in hemodialysis and supportive medications, long-term outcomes in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) have not improved much. Lower levels of social support, decreased behavioral compliance with the dialysis prescription, and increased negative perception of the effects of illness have been associated with increased mortality. Nonpharmacological approach like Yoga may help improve outcomes in these patients.

Materials and Methods:
Patients of chronic renal failure, aged 18 years and above, on MHD for at least 1 month were included. A baseline assessment of the level of mental and physical fitness and absence of chronic disabling conditions which could limit patient understanding and physical performance of yoga was made. Patients were counseled and educated on yoga protocol. Yoga intervention was practiced for 3 months. Data were collected at baseline and after 3 months on patient characteristics, lab parameters, and KDQOL-SF36 questionnaire.

Results:
A total of 75 patients were counseled, 45 took part in the study, 32 completed the 3-month study period. Age ranged from 18 to 67 years with 22% female and 78% males. Patients showed a trend toward a decrease in hypertension medicines. Significant increase in mean albumin levels (3.84 g/dL to 4.26 g/dL), hemoglobin levels (7.71 g/dL to 9.27 g/dL), and calcium levels (8.5 mg/dL to 8.9 mg/dL) was seen. Seven out of the eight parameters within the KDQOL-SF36 scoring exhibited statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Yoga, a nonpharmacological and cost-effective complementary therapy for MHD patients, has a significant positive impact both on physiological and psychological markers and the overall quality of life of these patients.
Comparative efficacy of pre-emptive TIPS and elective TIPS in EGVB patients with cirrhosis: A single-center retrospective study
Authors: Ren Jinfeng , Liu Tianyu , Yang Zhengying , Yuan Xihui , Yang Minyuan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is the main method to prevent the rebleeding of esophagogastric varices. Many studies have demonstrated that pre-emptive TIPS (p-TIPS) is superior to medicine combined with endoscopic standard therapy in the efficacy of high-risk patients, but very few relevant studies reported whether p-TIPS is more effective than elective TIPS. This study aims to compare the efficacy and prognosis of p-TIPS and elective TIPS for the treatment of esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) patients with cirrhosis.

Methods:
In this retrospective study, clinical data of 92 patients with cirrhosis who accepted TIPS treatment after EGVB of cirrhosis were collected. According to the different times of TIPS, the patients were divided into the p-TIPS group and the elective TIPS group. The following information is documented: clinical manifestations and laboratory examination at 1, 3, and 6 months after the operation, survival state, the rates of rebleeding at 6 weeks and 6 months, and postoperative complications and serious adverse events during follow-up.

Results:
The Child-Pugh score (P = 0.002) and MELD score (P = 0.006) in the p-TIPS group were significantly lower than those in the elective TIPS group in the 6th month after treatment. The rate of no gastric coronary vein embolization in the p-TIPS group was higher than in the elective TIPS group (P = 0.034). The hospitalized days (P < 0.001) and hospitalized costs (P < 0.001) were significantly lower in the p-TIPS group than in the elective TIPS group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups concerning rebleeding, overt hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, complications, and serious adverse events, occurrence.

Conclusion:
The p-TIPS contributes to liver function recovery and enhances patient survival benefits at 6-months postoperation in the treatment of EGVB compared with elective TIPS, without increasing the incidence of complications and adverse events.

Authors: Ramdaniza  , Suryadi  , Effendi Mohammad Sofwan 
Published: February 2025

Objective: to develop a Multicultural Education Management (MPPM) model in international elementary schools to build an inclusive educational environment and respect diversity.

Theoretical Framework: Multicultural education is an urgent need in the context of globalization, where cultural, ethnic, religious, and language differences must be managed effectively so that students have broad insights, tolerance, and the ability to interact in a multicultural environment. International elementary schools were chosen as research objects because of their high diversity and the need for a management system that is able to accommodate this diversity.

Method: This study uses a research and development (R&D) approach with the Borg and Gall model. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation studies. The research subjects involved principals, teachers, students, and parents in several international elementary schools. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively to ensure the validity of the research results.

Results and Discussion: show that the Multicultural Education Management model developed focuses on four main aspects, namely: planning, implementation, evaluation, and strengthening of multicultural culture. This model emphasizes the importance of the role of schools in developing policies that support diversity, integrate multicultural values in the curriculum, and build an inclusive learning environment. In addition, teacher competency training and development is one of the key components for the successful implementation of this model. The implementation of MPPM in international elementary schools has proven to be effective in increasing students' understanding of cultural diversity, forming an attitude of mutual respect, and minimizing conflicts caused by differences.

Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of the research are discussed, providing insight into how the research results can be applied or influence practices in the field of education. These implications may include school management as it relates to multicultural education in primary schools.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by this model can be a reference for other schools in implementing sustainable and effective multicultural education management.
Preoperative and Postoperative Evaluation of Growth and Development of Patients with Crouzon Syndrome: Case Series Aligned with SDG Health Goals
Authors: Susantri Mery , Irmawati Mira , Irwanto  , Suryawan Ahmad , Hutagalung Magda R. 
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Crouzon syndrome is the most common craniofacial syndrome, characterized by a spectrum of clinical manifestations with "varying degrees of severity". Patients with such a condition are at risk of experiencing diverse developmental outcomes. Unfortunately, Crouzon syndrome often remains undiagnosed, and treatment or corrective procedures are frequently delayed. Recent investigations on Crouzon syndrome primarily focus on genetic analysis, diagnostic methods, and surgical treatments, but only a few evaluate growth and development of patients with such a condition before and after surgical procedures. Therefore, this study aimed to present a case series evaluating growth and development of patients with Crouzon syndrome.

Objective: This study reported three cases of Crouzon syndrome, assessing patients' development using the Kuisioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan (KPSP) adapted from Developmental Prescreening Questionnaire.

Method: A case series was conducted to evaluate growth and development of patients with Crouzon syndrome, both before and after surgical treatment.

Clinical Case: The results showed that patients had significant development after the surgery despite delays in the treatment. One patient with comorbidities experienced further developmental challenges, exacerbating the effects of Crouzon syndrome. Another patient who refused surgical treatment eventually developed an intellectual disability.

Conclusion: This case series showed that growth and development of patients with Crouzon syndrome were significantly influenced by the timely correction of craniosynostosis. Early diagnosis, prompt treatment, and consistent evaluation of growth and development before and after surgery were essential for improving the quality of life of patients with Crouzon syndrome.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature that Developmental screening is a critical process in early childhood care that aims to identify developmental delays or disorders at an early stage. This process involves the use of standardized tools to assess a child's physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development by practical healthcare provider]. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by [explain how the important growth and developmental screening may impact the area of study or surgeop and intervention team at crouzon syndrome].
