L’insémination artificielle entre sélection et optimisation
Authors: Cahen Fabrice 
Published: January 2024

Résumé
Cet article traite des rapports entre les processus naturels et l’intervention humaine à partir d’une réflexion sur la sélection en matière d’’insémination artificielle animale et humaine. Il étudie comment les discours de promotion et de justification de l’insémination se traduisent dans les pratiques des professionnels, dans la France du XXe siècle.
De l’entre-deux-guerres jusqu’à l’institutionnalisation des banques de sperme dans les années 1970 et 1980, la sélection est au cœur de négociations sociales constantes. Initialement promue à des fins de sélection drastique, l’insémination artificielle humaine relève principalement d’une « production du normal ». La sélection se heurte, en médecine, à des contraintes à la fois normatives, structurelles et matérielles qui en restreignent le périmètre, l’intensité et la portée, y compris avec les techniques de la génétique humaine. Il s’agit alors de comprendre dans quelles conditions une sélection de facto voire un eugénisme systémique peuvent exister en dépit de la forte vigilance éthique revendiquée par les acteurs.

Abstract
The rapid growth of the human population leads to a big concern about the food y and demand worldwide. However, due to the reduction in global arable land area, humans need to find alternative food sources to fulfil their needs. Consequently, edible insects have been identified as a promising solution to ameliorate food security and increase global nutrition. Among more than 2,100 identified edible insect species, dragonflies and damselflies (order Odonata) are considered as one of nutritious food resources. Nevertheless, detailed information on the frequency and distribution of consumption of odonatans around the world is scattered and poorly documented. Based on this review, at least 61 out of 1,964 species of odonatans were reported consumed by people worldwide. The most consumed dragonflies (suborder Epiprocta; infraorder Anisoptera) are from the family of Libellulidae, followed by Aeshnidae and Gomphidae, whereas the most consumed edible damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) are from the Coenagrionidae family. Many nutrients, including proteins, lipids, energy, fibre, vitamins, and minerals are abundant in edible odonatans. Moreover, studies reported that humans employed these insects as therapeutic agents to remedy various ailments. Challenges associated with the consumption of edible odonatans include safety concerns, legal frameworks, and limited information on their bioecology which become barrier for their successful mass-rearing. However, because entomophagy is gradually gaining recognition, new and more improved methods of rearing are now being developed including for edible odonatans, encouraging sustainable insect farming. As the world strives to achieve the sustainable development goals, insect farming will pave a way for resources to be utilised for sustainable economic development.

Abstract
Imbrasia epimethea is one of the most esteemed and popular caterpillar species for its remarkable organoleptic and nutritional values. Its consumption extends throughout the Kwilu province and nearly the entire Democratic Republic of the Congo, but its supply is very limited. The high anthropogenic pressure and the poor harvesting techniques employed by the population of Kwilu pose a major threat to the conservation of the species. This study aims to investigate the bioecology of I. epimethea in order to develop semi-captive breeding techniques for these caterpillars, making them accessible to the population. In order to determine the host plants of I. epimethea, a survey was conducted among 424 caterpillar collectors from two populated and forested territories in the Kwilu province. To study the influence of changes in the caterpillars’ diet on their growth and determine their developmental cycle, a breeding experiment was conducted. This study revealed that the caterpillars of I. epimethea do not accept transfers from Petersianthus macrocarpus to Funtumia africana. It also confirms the polyphagy of these caterpillars while indicating that, overall, P. macrocarpus proved to be the most suitable host in the Kwilu province. I. epimethea is a social species with a development cycle, from hatching to emergence, lasting approximately 115.33 ± 3.06 days. The larval stage lasts about a month but with a prolonged period of nymphal diapause. Further analysis of the leaves of P. macrocarpus and F. africana, as well as the analysis of the caterpillars themselves, along with several breeding trials, will provide further clarification on this matter.

Objective: The goal of this study was to report on the development and early usability of a new interactive mHealth app for reducing cardiovascular risk in primary care patients of low socioeconomic status attending clinics in Chile. Design: Mixed-methods design with qualitative and quantitative components. Setting: Three Chilean primary care clinics located in one urban (Santiago) and two rural areas (San Clemente and Chiguayante). Each clinic serves a population of about 24,000 people of generally low socioeconomic status with an average of 8.5 years of education. Methods: A qualitative co-design participatory framework was used to develop the Mi Salud-APS mHealth app. Three iterations of virtual workshops were held with healthcare providers and patient participants to develop the new app. Once developed, the usability phase identified, invited and followed up for 3 months a sample of primary care patients with moderate ( N = 119) or high ( N = 329) cardiovascular risk. Results: A total of 24 healthcare providers and 24 patients participated in the developmental workshops. Three emergent categories represented the core attributes for the mHealth app design: ‘Friendly’, ‘Interactive’ and ‘Pertinent’. In the usability phase of the sample of 448 patients, 98% downloaded the app, and 64.6% of them logged in and used it for an average of 1.46 (0.5–10) times weekly. Conclusion: Findings suggest that patient and healthcare provider contributions to the development of the mHealth app accurately reflect the interests and experiences of both groups and together helped achieve the high usability levels observed among primary care patients enrolled in clinics in underserved communities.

Published: January 2024

Background The vascular division sequence in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lung resection is usually determined by the handling difficulty due to the limited surgical view through the scope. However, upfront pulmonary vein division is theoretically desirable to avoid tumor cells spreading by surgical manipulation. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with poor prognosis and an increased number of circulating tumor cells. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of vascular division sequence and EMT on postoperative recurrence. Methods We retrospectively investigated tissue microarrays of 282 lung adenocarcinomas surgically resected between 2001 and 2007. We excluded the cases with segmentectomy, wedge resection, dissemination, insufficient material for staining, or lack of medical records. The effect of vascular division sequence and clinicopathologic factors on recurrence was evaluated in 195 cases. Results The upfront pulmonary vein division (V-first) was performed in 60 patients, and the upfront pulmonary artery division (A-first) was performed in 135 patients. The recurrence was observed in 67 patients (13 in V-first and 54 in A-first). Epithelial–mesenchymal transition activation was observed in 104 patients. Multivariable analysis with 195 patients revealed that lymph node metastasis and pleural invasion were risk factors for the recurrence. The stratified multivariable analysis showed that vascular division sequence (A-first) was a risk factor only in the EMT-negative group (91 patients). In the EMT-negative subset, the 5-year relapse-free survival rate was significantly lower in the A-first group than the V-first group (72.6% vs. 92.2%, p  =  0.0136). Conclusions The upfront pulmonary artery division might be a risk factor in patients without EMT activation.

Introduction Conventional vein grafts have a high risk of thrombosis and early atherosclerosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in conventional vein grafts is associated with a higher incidence of late adverse cardiac events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results after PCI in saphenous vein grafts (SVG) harvested with the no-touch technique compared to the conventional technique. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective, cohort study, based on data from the Swedeheart register. The inclusion criterion was individuals who underwent CABG using different vein graft techniques between January 1992 and July 2020, and who required a PCI in SVGs between January 2006 and July 2020. The primary end point was long-term in-stent restenosis. The secondary endpoints were long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and 1-year re-hospitalization rates. The associations between the graft types and the endpoints were evaluated using the Fine and Gray competing-risk regression analysis. Results The study included 346 individuals (67 no-touch, 279 conventional). The mean clinical follow-up time was 6.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.7 years. The long-term in-stent restenosis rate for the no-touch grafts was 3.2% compared to 18.7% for the conventional grafts ( p < .01), with a subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR) of 0.16 ( p = .010). The long-term MACE rate was 27.0% in the no-touch group and 48.3% in the conventional group ( p < .01) with a SHR of 0.53 ( p = .017). The short-term results were similar in both groups. Conclusions Percutaneous coronary intervention in a no-touch vein graft was associated with statistically significantly fewer in-stent restenoses and MACE at long-term follow-up compared to a conventional SVG.

Published: January 2024

Objective This overview of reviews aimed to summarize the effectiveness of exercise, regular physical activity or mind–body exercises on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and comorbidities associated with PTSD (e.g. depression symptoms) among individuals without age, gender, race, ethnicity or setting restrictions. Data Sources The CINAHL, Embase, PubMed and SPORTDiscus databases were searched from inception to November 16, 2023. Review methods Systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials evaluating exercise, regular physical activity or mind–body exercises were considered. Control groups and outcome measures were not restricted. AMSTAR 2 assessed the methodological quality of reviews. The overlap between reviews was calculated. Results A total of 14 systematic reviews were included meta-analyzing 23 distinct randomized clinical trials. There was a very high overlap between reviews (corrected covered area = 16%). PTSD symptoms, depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, sleep quality, substance abuse and quality of life were meta-analyzed. No reviews meta-analyzed the effects of regular physical activity. Overall, the meta-analyses found multicomponent exercise programs may have positive results in reducing PTSD symptoms and improving quality of life. In addition, the results of yoga were inconsistent across the meta-analyses for PTSD symptoms, and no differences between groups were found in favor of yoga for depression symptoms. Finally, no specific conclusions could be made about anxiety symptoms, sleep quality and substance abuse. Conclusion A multicomponent exercise program may be effective in improving PTSD symptoms and quality of life, whereas yoga may be ineffective for depression symptoms in adults with PTSD.

Background: Internationally, there is a growing interest in the potential benefits of psilocybin-assisted therapy to treat existential distress at the end of life. However, the social acceptability of this therapy is not yet well known. Aim: This study assesses the social acceptability of the medical use of psilocybin to treat existential distress at the end of life. Design: An online survey was conducted in Canada between November 23 and December 4, 2022. The questionnaire included items pertaining to perceptions, attitudes and concerns towards psilocybin-assisted therapy to treat existential distress at the end of life. Participants: The sample ( n = 2800) was stratified by province, age and sex. Participants were adults from four provinces of Canada: Québec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Results: Overall, 79.3% considered psilocybin-assisted therapy a reasonable medical choice for a patient suffering from existential distress at the end of life, 84.8% agreed that the public health system should cover the costs of the intervention and 63.3% would welcome the legalisation of psilocybin for medical purposes. Previous psilocybin use ( p < 0.0001, for all dependent variables), exposure to palliative care ( p < 0.05, for all dependent variables) and a progressive political orientation ( p < 0.05, for all dependent variables) were associated with more favourable attitudes towards psilocybin-assisted therapy at the end of life. Conclusion: The social acceptability of psilocybin-assisted therapy for existential distress at the end of life is rather high in Canada. These findings may contribute to efforts to mobilise resources and improve access to this emerging therapy in palliative and end of life care settings.

Objective We aimed to investigate the impact on the mental health of patients with COVID-19 in a centralized isolation facility in the community who experienced a long period of full lockdown during the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. Methods We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study among 125 patients with COVID-19 in a centralized isolation facility in the community of Ho Chi Minh City from September to November 2021. We collected data on depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, as indicated by scores on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, as well as sociodemographic characteristics. Results The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among patients with COVID-19 was 14.4%, 20.8%, and 20.0%, respectively. Depression scores were significantly and positively correlated with body mass index whereas stress scores were significantly and positively correlated with age. Conclusion Our findings indicated an increased prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among patients with COVID-19 who were in a centralized isolation facility during the fourth COVID-19 wave in Vietnam. Overweight and older age were identified as risk factors for adverse mental health in patients with COVID-19. Psychological intervention programs should be implemented in isolation facilities for individuals with COVID-19 infection.

Authors: Yang Qian , Gao Yunhan , Fu Weijie , Ma Shaying 
Published: January 2024

Objective To identify risk factors associated with snakebite severity and determine whether tourniquet use can affect the severity and outcome of snakebites. Methods The clinical data of patients who sustained limb snakebites from 1 March 2021 to 31 October 2022 were reviewed. The patients were divided into three groups according to snakebite severity: mild (517 cases), moderate (112 cases), and severe (8 cases). We compared the clinical data of mild versus moderate to severe snakebites. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the independent risk factors for moderate to severe snakebites. Results The study involved 637 patients. There were statistically significant differences in age, tourniquet use, onset time, white blood cell increase, platelet decrease, creatine kinase (CK) increase, activated partial thromboplastin time shortening, and length of stay between patients with mild snakebites and those with moderate to severe snakebites. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, tourniquet use, and CK increase were independent risk factors for moderate to severe snakebites. Conclusion The overall severity of snakebites in Chongqing is mild, and the prognosis is good. Age, tourniquet use, and CK increase are independent risk factors for the severity of snakebites. We do not recommend tourniquet use after snakebites in Chongqing.

Published: January 2024

Banana fibre-reinforced polymer (BaFRP) composite can ensure environmentally friendly decomposition of waste material and reduction of cost in comparison with traditionally used fibre material. This article emphasizes the influence of various machining constraints on surface roughness (Ra) and cutting force (Pz) in turning alkaline-treated banana fibre-reinforced polymer (T-BaFRP) composite. 30% weight fraction yields satisfactory mechanical properties. Taguchi orthogonal array L25 is used to design experiments and optimization using DFA and TOPSIS. An experimental investigation was conducted under compressed cooling air-cutting conditions where pressure was kept at 8 bar. Analysis of variance depicts that depth of cut and feed rate are the most prominent factors for surface roughness and cutting force. The predicted and experimental values error is 0.517% for surface roughness and 1.181% for cutting force. The optimization using DFA and TOPSIS reported optimal depth of cut, cutting speed, and feed rate at 0.362 mm, 55 m/min, and 0.113 mm/rev, and at 0.8 mm, 154 m/min, and 0.12 mm/rev, respectively. Ra of 2.594 µm and Pz of 14.258 N by DFA and 3.02 µm and 25.83 N by TOPSIS method have been attained. Moreover, confirmation test suggests that both response parameters (surface roughness and cutting force) are in close alignment with the results from the DFA and TOPSIS.

Purpose To identify predictive factors associated with US adolescents’ transition through the stages of change for potentially quitting e-cigarettes using the Trans-theoretical model of behavior change. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting United States. Subjects We utilized data from adolescents (12-17 years) in Wave 3 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study who used e-cigarettes exclusively over the past 30 days (n = 177) and were followed up with in Wave 4. Measures Outcome variables were 3 transition categories: those who remained stagnant, those who progressed, and those who regressed in their stage of quitting e-cigarettes. Predictor variables were socio-demographics, e-cigarette harm perception, e-cigarette use at home or by important people, social norms, e-cigarette and anti-tobacco advertisements, and e-cigarette health warnings. Analysis Weighted-adjusted multinomial regression analysis was performed to determine the association between predictor and outcome variables. Results From Wave 3 to Wave 4, 19% of adolescents remained stagnant; 73.3% progressed; and 7.7% regressed. Adolescents were less likely to progress in their stage of change if they perceived nicotine in e-cigarettes to be “not at all/slightly harmful” (AOR = .26 [95% CI: .25, .27], P < .001); reported important people’s use of e-cigarettes (AOR = .18 [95% CI: .05, .65, P = .009); and “rarely” noticed e-cigarette health warnings (AOR = .28 [95% CI: .08, .98, P = .054). Conclusion Intervention efforts must target specific predictive factors that may help adolescents quit e-cigarettes.
The Impact of Inequalities on Data Policies: Favelas Unified Dashboard Case Study
Authors: Campos Elisa Maria 
Published: January 2024

Data is the new asset of the current digital revolution. It is heralded as the “new oil” that will transform the world and function as a magic tool for development policies, with great potential to solve global health dilemmas. However, deep societal inequalities give datafication the risk of escalating disparities through data policies instead of solving them. The pandemic unmasked the price to pay for ignoring deep inequalities, helping this research to answer the question: “How did inequalities impact data policies for the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil?” To investigate this link, the author develops a theoretical model linking the World-historical model of relational inequalities to the capability approach and data colonization theory. This model sustains the analysis of the data collected in 5 months of participant observation in the Covid-19 Favelas Unified Dashboard plus governmental data analysis and semi-structured interviews with data policymakers for Covid-19 in Brazil. As a result, the author demonstrates how inequalities worked as a trap for data policies and argues that data inequalities go beyond the digital divide. Data inequalities skyrocket vulnerability of the poor, increasing contamination rates, and inhibiting development.
