Les pratiques enseignantes contemporaines de dictée : des postures d’interaction au service de l’accompagnement lors de la phase de révision
Authors: Fleury Odile 
Published: February 2025

Cet article interroge les postures d’accompagnement (Lescouarch, 2018) adoptées par les enseignants dans les pratiques enseignantes contemporaines de dictées et la manière dont les élèves perçoivent et ressentent les dispositifs pédagogiques de dictée. L’analyse des données s’est adossée à une triangulation de données (Clanet, 2005) afin de repérer les décalages et les adéquations entre trois types de pratiques : les pratiques observées par la chercheuse, puis, à l’aide d’entretien d’autoconfrontation simple (Leblanc, 2007), les pratiques déclarées par l’enseignant et enfin les pratiques perçues par les élèves (Trinquier, 2002). Nous nous sommes intéressée à « l’alter comme ressource » (Lescouarch, 2018), car il est considéré comme un levier au service de l’étayage. Par « alter » est entendu l’enseignant accompagnateur et les élèves entre eux (pairs). L’enseignant accompagnateur ainsi que les élèves constituent alors une ressource dans la construction des savoirs orthographiques. Les résultats mettent en évidence des postures d’interaction des enseignants propres à chaque enseignant et montrent que ce n’est pas la modalité retenue qui implique la forme d’interaction.
L’occupation des zones à risques d’inondation dans le district d’Abidjan : entre représentations, frustrations et rhétoriques
Authors: Fofana Métogba , Kra Kouamé Walter 
Published: February 2025

Cet article examine l'occupation humaine des « zones à risques » à Abidjan, caractérisée par la triple menace d’inondations, de glissements de terrain et d’électrocutions. Au-delà des facteurs socio-économiques, de la banalisation du risque et de la croissance urbaine relevés dans la littérature, il explore les représentations sociales comme fondements de cette occupation illégale et interdite. Les données d’enquête qualitative collectées sur cinq des sites les plus à risque du district d’Abidjan auprès des occupants et au moyen d’entretiens individuels semi-dirigés, de groupes de discussion et d’observation directe, ont fait l’objet d’une analyse de contenu thématique. Les résultats révèlent trois principaux processus illégaux et anarchiques d'occupation des zones à risques à Abidjan : l'achat de terrains pour construire des maisons, la location de terrains pour construire des habitations et la location illégale de logements déjà construits. Quatre facteurs sous-tendent cette occupation désordonnée et illicite : la réinterprétation par les occupants du laxisme des autorités de gestion du foncier urbain comme un signe de faiblesse ; la conviction que cette occupation irrégulière demeure l’unique option de logement nonobstant une conscience commune du risque chez les occupants ; la frustration sociale répandue en leur sein et nourrie par ce qu’ils considèrent comme un « échec » de la politique publique des logements sociaux ; et enfin la rhétorique d’une immunité collective contre le risque de catastrophe. En somme, il existe de véritables insuffisances dans la gouvernance de l’espace urbain, ce qui requiert une double nécessité : communiquer autrement sur les risques d’inondation et repenser la politique publique des logements sociaux.
Anesthetic management of endovascular embolization in a patient of neurofibromatosis with associated aortic and multisystemic vasculopathy: A case report
Authors: Palaniswamy Sangeetha R. , Desai Meshwa , Arora Ankit , Aravinda H. R. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Patients with neurofibromatosis undergo multiple surgeries during their lifetime, presenting as challenging scenarios to the perioperative team. We present the case report of a young male patient with type 1 neurofibromatosis scheduled for endovascular embolization of thoracic spinal arteriovenous malformation under general anesthesia. Associated vasculopathy included stented descending thoracic aortic coarctation, an unrepaired saccular aortic aneurysm (AA) distal to the stent suggestive of a type 1 endoleak, bilateral segmental pulmonary arterial thrombosis, bilateral subclavian artery stenosis, and a retroperitoneal neurofibroma compressing the coeliac artery. Our primary concerns were a possible periprocedural AA rupture becoming a surgical emergency, difficult vascular access, and perioperative thromboembolism. Periprocedural hemodynamic surges were avoided using continuous hemodynamic monitoring, adequate anesthetic depth, and analgesia. After an uneventful procedure, the patient was extubated with a smooth postoperative course. An in-depth knowledge about underlying pathophysiology, anticipation and preparedness for potential complications, and interdisciplinary coordinated teamwork serve to preserve patient outcomes.
Cancer Awareness and its Predictors among the Rural Population of Eastern India: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Sahu Dinesh Prasad , Subba Sonu H. , Giri Prajna Paramita 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
The global burden of cancer is increasing rapidly. In India, particularly, there is a low level of health awareness and significant information asymmetry. Improving awareness among the general population will bring about better health-seeking behavior and acceptance of screening methods. The study aims to assess the different aspects of cancer awareness and its determinants among the rural population.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2017 to August 2018. Data was collected from 1116 participants using a semistructured questionnaire. Information was collected on awareness about different cancers, sources of information, treatability, preventability, and risk factors of cancer. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 (Armonk, NY, IBM Corp.). The level of awareness was presented as a percentage and the Odds ratio was calculated to find out the association between level of awareness and different sociodemographic characteristics.

Results:
73.5% of the study participants had heard of cancer. Oral cancer was the most common cancer known to the study participants. Television was the most common source of cancer information. Knowledge about the preventability, treatability, and risk factors of cancer was very low. Tobacco was the most common risk factor identified. Awareness of cancer was found to be significantly associated with educational status.

Conclusion:
Awareness about general cancers was high, but awareness about specific cancers was low. There is a need to re-look at the health education campaigns about cancer to improve awareness of the rural population. Television and the Internet should be used as an effective medium to generate awareness about cancer.

Authors: Vijayan Sruthi M. , Rasania Sanjeev K. , Acharya Anita S. , Rasheed Nazish , Saxena Pikee 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
Globally, there are 48 million couples and 186 million individuals who live with infertility, and in India, there are approximately 22–23 million infertile couples. Infertility and its treatment can negatively influence the couple’s psychological well-being which in turn could affect their fertility and treatment outcome. Most of the studies have focused on the psychosocial stress among women due to infertility and very few studies have seen the impact it has on men. Hence, the objective of the study is to assess the psychological status of the couples attending the infertility clinic of a tertiary healthcare institution.

Materials and Methods:
Couples attending the infertility clinic of Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital (SSKH), New Delhi, were included. The study period was from January 2021 to June 2022. A semi-structured, self-designed interview schedule was used to collect information from study subjects. The DASS-21 questionnaire was used to assess subjects’ psychological status.

Results:
The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was higher among wives as compared to husbands (P value < 0.1 in all three psychological states). Depression, anxiety, and stress were found to be more in husbands and wives with primary infertility as compared to those with secondary infertility (however, this finding was found to be significant only in wives in relation to depression, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
In general, the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was higher in wives as compared to husbands.

Authors: Prathyusha Lingareddy , Agrawal Renu , Singh Geetu , Kumar Sarvesh , Agarwal Tanya 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
India ranks second in the world after China with 74.2 million living with diabetes currently and is projected to see 124.9 million living with diabetes by 2045. Diabetics need extensive self-management support, medications, regular screening for management of complications and comorbidities, which can increase out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure for patients and their families. The aim of this article is to estimate the OOP expenditure for the management of diabetes mellitus and its complications among residents of slum areas of Agra city and to find out the association of OOP expenditure with sociodemographic and diabetic profile and compliance to treatment among the study participants. A cross-sectional study through face-to-face interviews using predesigned, pretested, and semistructured questionnaires were conducted from October 2020 to September 2022. A sample of 360 known diabetics was included. Statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 24 and descriptive statistics were reported wherever applicable. Male, female ratio was 3:2, 66% of participants were between 35 and 60 years, 28% were illiterates, 54% were unemployed and 44% were from upper lower socioeconomic class. Nearly 96% were type 2 diabetics and 74% were on oral hypoglycemic agents. Monthly median direct and indirect OOP expenses were INR 1,500 and INR 505, respectively. OOP expenses were borne by 98% of the study participants.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives:
The Journal of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics (JCDE) is an English-language journal published by the Indian Association of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics. It was indexed in PubMed in 2010 in periodical publications. The purpose of this paper was to review and analyze the publications in JCDE over the 6 years from 2019 to 2024.

Materials and Methods:
This article evaluated the subject, number, and type of articles published, key topics addressed, authorship patterns, and article citations of the JCDE over the last 6-year period.

Results:
A total of 750 papers were found, and the publication output peaked in 2024 when 133 articles were published. On average, each volume had 1.5 times as many publications on endodontic topics compared to restorative topics. An average of eleven articles per volume addressed multidisciplinary or other dental disciplines. Original research articles followed by literature reviews and case reports/series accounted for the most articles per volume. The most of the authors were from India followed by the Middle East, America, and other Asian countries. With about 2802 citations, the 2019 issue had the most citations. Esthetic Dentistry was the main topic in the top 10 most cited articles. JCDE has the 7th-highest h5-index across both endodontic and operative dentistry journals.

Conclusions:
Many manuscripts in endodontics, dental materials, restorative dentistry, and a few other pertinent specializations have been published in JCDE over the past 6 years.
A randomized clinical comparative evaluation of interappointment flare-ups on placing Azadirachta indica, garlic, Triphala, and calcium hydroxide as intracanal medicament, in primary endodontic lesion
Authors: Kishan Karkala Venkappa , Shah Nimisha , Mamatha Karkala Venkappa , Sreekumari Lekshmipriya , Parikh Margi 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Aim:
The purpose of the study was to clinically evaluate interappointment flare-ups, on placing Azadirachta indica (neem), garlic (Allium sativum L.), Triphala, and calcium hydroxide (CH) as an intracanal medicament (ICM), using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) in a patient with a primary endodontic lesion.

Methodology:
Two hundred and forty patients indicated for root canal therapy were divided into two main groups as single-rooted teeth and multirooted teeth. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups of 30 samples each. After the access opening, instrumentation was done as per the canal configuration. The herbal medicaments were prepared as an aqueous extract. The placement of ICM in the subgroups was randomly determined by computerized randomization. Interappointment flare-up and pain were assessed using VRS on 1, 3, 7, and 14 days.

Statistical Analysis Used:
The intergroup comparisons of the incidence of flare-up were done using analysis of variance, followed by post hoc Tukey’s test to test for the difference among individual groups.

Results:
There was a statistically significant difference between the four groups, with P = 0.02 for multirooted teeth and 0.03 for single-rooted teeth. The post hoc Tukey’s test showed the intergroup comparison of the flare-up incidence between garlic and Triphala to be statistically significant favoring Triphala, with P = 0.004 in single-rooted teeth and 0.008 in multirooted teeth.

Conclusion:
Although there was no statistical significance between them, Triphala can be considered an alternative to CH as ICM. However, neem and garlic showed poor results.
Navigating the Uncommon: Inguinal Metastasis in Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans
Authors: Pratap Mangipudi Surya , Kalson Usha , Dedha Priyanka , Hazrah Priya 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally aggressive soft tissue sarcoma with a low rate of metastasis, affecting around four per million annually. Representing about 1% of sarcomas, often manifests on the trunk or proximal extremities. Most cases are low-grade, but some have a high-grade fibrosarcomatous component, which is linked to a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis. Here, we present a 55-year-old male with DFSP, initially presenting as a non-healing ulcer on his foot. Despite surgical excision, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy with imatinib, the patient developed a recurrent ulcer and calcaneum involvement, leading to below-knee amputation. One year later, inguinal lymph node metastasis was detected. After inguinal lymph node dissection and additional radiotherapy, the patient showed no further active lesions. This case highlights the rarity of lymph node metastasis in DFSP and the ongoing need for research into optimal management strategies.
Sonographic Diagnosis of Anterior Nutcracker Phenomenon and its Prevalence in Nigerian Males with Varicoceles
Authors: Abudu Olalekan Abdul-Rafiu , Ogunjimi Moses Adebisi , Ojewola Rufus Wale , Arogundade Rasheed Ajani 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background:
The nutcracker phenomenon (NCP) is a rare and often unrecognised cause of varicocele, haematuria, and chronic pelvic pain due to the left renal vein (LRV) compression between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery (anterior nutcracker). Its varied clinical manifestations make the diagnosis difficult and usually delayed. A high index of clinical suspicion, with appropriate imaging studies is crucial for the diagnosis.

Objectives:
We used a colour Doppler ultrasound scan to investigate the anatomic and haemodynamic properties of testicular and renal venous drainage. The emphasis was to determine the presence or absence of NCP, its possible effects on varicocele formation and severity, and its relationship with the body mass index (BMI) of the subjects.

Materials and Methods:
We carried out Doppler scrotal and upper abdominal ultrasound examinations of 100 subjects with male infertility and clinical varicoceles (group A), and 100 controls with male infertility but without varicoceles (group B). The mean peak velocity (PV) and the anteroposterior (AP) diameters of different segments of the renal veins, as well as the diameters of the testicular veins of the subjects in the two groups were measured and compared. The ratios of the PV and the diameters between the hilar portion and the aorto-mesenteric portion of the LRV were also calculated and compared. A PV ratio or anteroposterior diameter ratio between the two portions greater or equal to 5.0 was considered diagnostic of NCP. The diagnosis of varicocele was confirmed by visualising a dilated pampiniform plexus vein measuring greater than 2 mm in diameter using an ultrasound scan.

Results:
Six out of 100 subjects in group A had diameter and PV ratios (≥5.0) in the LRV that suggested the presence of NCP, and all participants in group B had neither diameter nor PV ratio suggestive of NCP. The prevalence of NCP seen within the varicocele group in this study was statistically significant (P = 0.038). Five (83.3%) of the six subjects in the NCP-associated varicocele subgroup had microscopic haematuria, orthostatic proteinuria, or both; these qualified them for the diagnosis of nutcracker syndrome (NCS), A significantly lower mean BMI (P = 0.004) was noted among the NCP-associated varicocele subgroup compared to those without NCP.

Conclusion:
Our findings indicate that the NCP is a significant finding in patients with varicoceles in our environment, and it is more common with lower BMI.
A Study of the Attitude of Medical Students toward Psychiatry in a Private Medical College in Telangana
Authors: Sreeja Kokkalla Sai , Kishan P. , Krishna P. Sai , Kumar R. Shiva , Kumar N. D. Sanjay 
Published: February 2025

Context:
Attitudes toward psychiatrists, psychiatric medications, and mental illness vary widely among different demographics. It is essential to understand the perspectives and knowledge of undergraduates, interns and postgraduates regarding psychiatry, mental health, and psychiatric disorders. These students` current exposure and experience toward psychiatry will significantly impact their future careers. This is particularly important in developing countries like India, where healthcare resources are scarce and traditional non-Western approaches such as supernatural, religious, moralistic, and magical beliefs often influence perceptions of illness and behavior.

Aim:
Our study aims to assess the attitudes of medical students toward psychiatry and examine the factors associated with these attitudes.

Materials and Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, medical students in a private medical college in Telangana were asked to fill an online form, which was designed to obtain sociodemographic data and included questionnaire to measure attitude toward psychiatry. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used.

Results:
The total sample was 400, of which majority of the students were females, young (aged between 18 and 22 years), under-graduate students, belonging to upper-middle socio-economic status, from urban background and nuclear family, single and from Hindu religion. A statistically significant difference in mean Mental Illness Clinicians’ Attitude score was observed in gender of the students (P = 0.0001), socioeconomic status (P = 0.013), level of graduation (P = 0.0001), Domicile (P = 0.001), and the presence or absence of a psychiatrist in the family or friends (P = 0.03).

Conclusions:
Our study found factors such as gender, socioeconomic status, domicile, level of graduation, and relations with psychiatrists (through friends or family) had significant influence on the attitudes. Raising awareness about psychiatry and mental health disorders among medical students is crucial to address their negative attitudes by implementing the strategies such as incorporating mental health education into curriculum, guest lectures and seminars, clinical rotations in psychiatry, interdisciplinary collaboration, student-led initiatives, promoting self-care and mental well-being.
On boundary-non-preserving mappings with Poletsky inequality
Authors: Desyatka Victoria , Sevost’yanov Evgeny 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The manuscript is devoted to the boundary behavior of mappings with bounded and finite distortion. We consider mappings of domains of the Euclidean space that satisfy weighted Poletsky inequality. Assume that, the definition domain is finitely connected on its boundary and, in addition, on the set of all points which are pre-images of the cluster set of this boundary. Then the specified mappings have a continuous boundary extension provided that the majorant in the Poletsky inequality satisfies some integral divergence condition, or has a finite mean oscillation at every boundary point.
