Published: December 2023

Face à un contexte économique mouvant où les entreprises sont en pleine transition socioécologique, les établissements de formation d’ingénieurs n’ont d’autre choix que d’adapter leurs référentiels à une réingénierie écoresponsable et de former des ingénieurs dotés d’agilité, d’adaptabilité et d’aptitude managériale. L’École Polytechnique de l’Université Internationale d’Agadir au Maroc, soucieuse de l’employabilité de ses lauréats, multiplie ses collaborations avec les acteurs socioprofessionnels. Dans ce cadre, une simulation d’entretien d’embauche est réalisée chaque année en vue d’évaluer les compétences de ses futurs lauréats et de les confronter au stress généré par l’entretien de recrutement. Le but est de les aider à mieux gérer leurs émotions pour les futurs entretiens afin qu’ils puissent être plus à l’aise pour se valoriser et valoriser leurs atouts. Ce document, analyse les résultats de la simulation d’entretien d’embauche de la promotion 2023 par le biais de méthodes statistiques : l’Analyse Importance Performance (AIP) et l’Analyse Factorielle de Correspondance (AFC). L’étude exhibe, au-delà des compétences métier, la corrélation entre les activités professionnelles puis extraprofessionnelles et les compétences comportementales, puis le lien entre la communication et la maitrise des langues étrangères et finit par soulever la question sur la compétence managériale chez les sortants des écoles d’ingénieurs.
Sur le principe économique
Authors: Croce Benedetto , Tiberghien Gilles A. 
Published: December 2023

On trouvera ici publiées deux lettres qui constituent le chapitre IX du livre Matérialisme historique et économie marxiste, publiées en 1906 dans la deuxième édition italienne et restées inédites en Français à ce jour. Dans la première de ces deux lettres à l’économiste W. Pareto, Croce s’efforce de définir la nature d’un fait économique pour donner à l’économie un statut de science. Ce qu’il démontre d’abord, c’est que le fait économique n’est ni un fait mécanique ni un fait hédoniste. C’est un fait de l’activité humaine qui dépend d’un choix : c’est donc un fait pratique mais qui est « indépendant de toute détermination morale ou immorale ». Dans la deuxième lettre Croce s’attaque à une question de méthode montrant qu’on ne peut découper le fait économique en l’isolant et que, par ailleurs, la conception de Pareto est sous tendue par un présupposé métaphysique moniste à savoir que les faits de l’activité humaine sont de même nature que les faits physiques. Mais si l’activité économique est à séparer de l’activité morale elle n’en fait pas moins l’objet d’une approbation ou d’une désapprobation économique . C’est à l’établissement de ces distinctions et d’autres que s’emploie ici Croce.

An add-on Ayurvedic approach in the management of lissencephaly- A case report
Authors: Remya E. , Binitha P. , Sudhakar D. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Lissencephaly is a rare genetic brain developmental disease characterized by brain malformations, eye anomalies, and congenital muscular dystrophy. The present case is of a 2-year-old child previously diagnosed with lissencephaly, which was well managed with Ayurvedic treatment protocol, in addition to conventional antiepileptic medicines. The patient presented with delayed milestones and recurrent episodes of seizures. Sarvangavata, Kapha Avrita Vyana Vata, and Vyadhija Phakka were the probable Ayurvedic diagnoses considered. Agnideepana (stimulation of digestive/metabolic factors), Srotoshodhana (bio-cleansing of structural and functional channels), Balya (promoting strength), and Vata Shamaka (pacification of Vata Dosha) were the treatment principles adopted in this case. Indukanta Ghrita, Rajanyadi Churna, Gopichandanadi Vati, and Sahacharadi Kashaya were administered internally. Procedures such as Abhyanga (oil massage), Dhanyamla Dhara (therapeutic streaming of sour rice gruel over the body), Pratimarsha Nasya (medication through nasal route), and Jihvalepa (tongue anointment) were performed externally. The child achieved some important milestones within 37 days of inpatient (IP) and 2 months of outpatient treatment; no single episode of seizure was reported during the period. This case report advocates the institution of Ayurvedic treatment protocol in improving the quality of life of lissencephaly patient as an add-on therapy.

Published: December 2023

Objective:
This study aimed to examine the demographic characteristics, knowledge, and attitudes of health-care professionals and pregnant women regarding the association between maternal periodontitis and adverse obstetric outcomes.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 400 health-care professionals and 400 pregnant women. Demographic data, including gender, age group, education level, and occupation, were recorded. Mean knowledge and attitude scores were computed and compared between the two groups.

Results:
Health-care professionals demonstrated a good understanding of the association between maternal periodontitis and adverse obstetric outcomes, as evidenced by their higher mean knowledge score of 7.82 ± 1.75 out of 10. In contrast, pregnant women exhibited lower mean knowledge scores of 4.53 ± 1.34, indicating the presence of knowledge gaps within this group. Both health-care professionals and pregnant women expressed positive attitudes, with mean scores of 4.58 ± 0.89 and 3.92 ± 1.12, respectively. However, health-care professionals demonstrated a slightly more positive attitude than pregnant women.

Conclusions:
The study revealed a notable difference in knowledge levels between health-care professionals and pregnant women concerning maternal periodontitis and obstetric outcomes. While health-care professionals exhibited a higher understanding of the association, pregnant women showed some knowledge gaps. Nevertheless, both groups displayed positive attitudes toward the topic. The findings underscore the importance of targeted educational interventions to improve knowledge among pregnant women and enhance patient care by health-care professionals in relation to maternal periodontal health and its impact on obstetric outcomes.
The Importance of Body Posture in Adolescence and its Relationship with Overall Well-being
Authors: Sharma Sachi , Rawat Vikas 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Adolescence is a phase of life with specific health and developmental needs. This is the time to develop self-image and self-esteem, learn to manage emotions and relationships, acquire attributes and abilities, and also physiologically form body posture. An efficient, erect posture of the human body is defined as the alignment of particular body segments that are not affected by pathological changes. Body posture is influenced by a variety of physiological, occupational, and biomechanical factors. It is very important to know these factors and their influence on posture to prevent the appearance of postural deviations and its consequence in their daily lives. This study is a review of articles related to the formation, defects, and corrective measures of body posture during adolescence and identifying its relationship with different aspects of health. This study identified 207 studies on the various aspects of posture in children and adolescents using search engines such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PubMed, of which 11 studies met the eligibility criteria for the review. Postural defects are no longer confined to medicine and affect society as a whole. It plays a significant role in defining the social personality of an individual and is responsible for his upbringing. Since these disorders are prevalent in children, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of prevention programs. Thus, children should be taught the habit of maintaining proper posture along with increasing their physical activity levels and promoting healthy lifestyles.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Primary renal sarcomas are extremely rare neoplasms accounting for about 1% of all malignant renal neoplasms. Leiomyosarcomas are the most common histological subtype amongst all the sarcomas. We report a case of 55 yr old woman with abdominal pain and mass per abdomen since one year. Definitive diagnosis of High Grade Renal Leiomyosarcoma of left kidney was established only after a comprehensive histological and immunohistochemical examination of the resected mass. Due to its poor prognosis, a thorough evaluation of all the renal masses is mandatory for appropriate treatment and its better outcome.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, degenerative disease of the connective tissue, mainly involving the synovial joints, characterized by swelling, pain, and tenderness in multiple joints, associated with morning stiffness, fever, and weakness. RA treatment aims to reduce patients’ clinical symptoms, reduce or prevent joint damage, prevent progression, and improve quality of life. Due to complex RA pathogenesis, multiple interventions are usually required to control the symptoms. Ayurveda offers a wide range of therapeutic interventions that have a potential role in RA. The present study was planned to explore the role of Ayurveda interventions, Vyoshadi Guggulu (VG) and Panchasama Churna (PC), in managing RA.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
An open-label, single-arm, prospective clinical study was conducted at Central Ayurveda Research Institute, Bhubaneswar, on 90 trial participants between the ages of 20 and 60 years having the clinical symptoms of RA according to the American College of Rheumatology. The trial drugs, viz., VG 1.5 g (3 tablets of 500 mg each) and PC 3 g, twice daily (in the morning and night after food) with lukewarm water, were administered for 84 days. Paired sample t test was used to compare the mean change in the subjective and objective parameters from baseline day to 84th day. The primary outcome measure was Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS-28), and the secondary outcome measures were Disability Index Score (The Indian Health Assessment Questionnaire), change in acute phase reactants—erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein, and change in Health Questionnaire short form (SF)-36 score.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Data from a total of 89 participants were subjected to statistical analysis, and significant change (P value < 0.001) was observed in the DAS-28 score, Disability Index Score, ESR scoring, and in all the domains of SF-36 Health Survey from baseline day to 84th day. The laboratory assessment parameters, such as liver function test, renal function test, and complete blood count, were within the reference range during the entire study duration, indicating that the interventions VG and PC were safe for the given dose and duration of consumption.

CONCLUSION:
Based on relief observed in the Ayurveda and modern clinical parameters, DAS-28 score, ESR, and Disability Index Score, it is concluded that VG and PC are effective in the management of RA and were found safe in the given dose and duration of consumption.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA)or stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India. Disability in the form of hemiplegia, paraplegia, or quadriplegia with or without facial palsy is prevalent in most patients post an episode of stroke. In this case report, the effect of comprehensive Ayurvedic therapy in managing hemiplegia is being reported.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A 58-year-old hypertensive, diabetic woman with a computed tomography (CT) report indicative of right Ganglio-capsular acute hemorrhage with intraventricular extension came with complaints of weakness in the left half of the body, a tendency to fall towards the left side with a mild deviation of angle of the mouth towards right side since January 24, 2022; and was admitted to the Department of Panchakarma, Sri Sri College of Ayurvedic Science and Research Hospital, Sri Sri University, Cuttack, Odisha. The patient was managed with oral interventions indicated for Vatavyadhi Chikitsa and Panchakarma procedures like different types of Swedana (fomentation), Nasya (nasal administration of medicated oil), and Nitya Virechana (therapeutic purgation).

RESULT AND CONCLUSION:
The power of the left hand increased from 0 to 2, and that of the left leg increased from 0 to 3 after Panchakarma therapy and oral interventions that lasted 1 and 2 months, respectively. The patient could sit for 30 min and walk a few steps with support from a completely bedridden state. A comprehensive Ayurvedic therapeutic intervention provided good recovery for residual hemiplegia and other neurological complaints developed post-stroke.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
The disease “Pinasa” is a chronic nasal disease affecting the nasal canal and paranasal sinuses and can be correlated with chronic rhinosinusitis in contemporary science. Given the literary indication, the present work evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of Chitrak Haritaki Avaleha (CHA) and Shadbindu Taila (SBT) in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study was conducted as an open-label, multi-centre, prospective clinical study and executed at two institutes of the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences at New Delhi and Patiala. In total, 120 participants aged between 18 and 60 years, suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis, were enrolled in the study. The interventions were Chitraka Haritaki (CHA) (06 g) in the form of Avaleha twice a day after food and Nasya with Shadbindu Taila (SBT) in the dose of 06 Bindu (drops) for 7 days for three consecutive cycles with intervals of 7 days. The participants were assessed every 14 days. The total duration of treatment was 42 days, followed by a follow-up of 28 days. The primary outcome was assessed as the change in the Rhino Sinusitis Disability Index (RSDI) score, and the secondary outcomes were change in the Sino Nasal Outcome Score (SNOT) 20 score and change in Lund–Mackay scores of CT scan para nasal sinus.

RESULTS:
A total of 120 participants were enrolled in the study (60 in each center). Among them, data of 115 participants who completed the study were used for analysis. The mean RSDI and SNOT 20 scores were observed to undergo gradual reduction from baseline to the 14th, 28th, and 42nd days. A significant improvement in the mean total RSDI score and SNOT 20 (P < 0.001) was observed after the 42nd day of treatment and also at the end of the 70th day in comparison to baseline (# Compared using paired sample t-test).

CONCLUSION:
The Ayurvedic formulations, SBT Nasya and CHA administration, are safe and significantly reduce the symptoms such as Mucopurulent drainage (anterior, posterior, or both), nasal obstruction (congestion), facial pain-pressure-fullness, and decreased sense of smell.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
The symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis,resemble the clinical presentation of Vataja Pratishyaya, a type of Pratishyaya, narrated in the Ayurveda classical texts. An exploratory clinical study was planned to assess the the safety and potential effect of a combination therapy of Ayurveda interventions, viz., Ayush VPR (a coded Ayurvedic formulation), Shirishadi Kwath (Anubhoota Yoga), and Nasya (intranasal drug administration) with Anutaila.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The study was an open-label, multicenter, prospective clinical study with pre-test and post-test design. Sixty participants aged between 18 and 65 years with the symptoms of AR were enrolled in the study as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The interventions given to the participants were Ayush VPR (3.5 g) powder, twice a day with honey and ghee after food, Shirishadi Kwath (20 ml) twice a day, orally on an empty stomach, and Anutaila Nasya (intranasal drug administration) for 7 days for two consecutive cycles with an interval of 7 days. The participants were assessed weekly for a total duration of 28 days. This was followed by a 28-day follow-up period, with assessments conducted at intervals of 14 days. The primary outcome was change in the CARAT (Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test) score.

RESULTS:
Data of 60 participants were used for analysis. The mean age of participants was 35.8 ± 12.12., and the proportion of males and females were comparable with 51.7% females among the total participants. The mean CARAT score improved from baseline to the subsequent follow-ups at 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days. A significant improvement in the mean total CARAT score (P < 0.001) was observed after the 28th day of treatment and also at the end of the 56th day in comparison to baseline.

CONCLUSION:
The Ayurvedic formulations, Shirishadi Kwath, Ayush VPR, and Anutaila, are safe and significantly reduce rhinorrhea, nasal itching, sneezing fits, nasal congestion, and nasal obstruction. The present study reveals that the Ayurvedic treatment provided highly significant relief from AR.
The outcome of corneal collagen cross-linking in progressive keratoconus: A 24-month follow-up
Authors: Seena A.C. , Lakshmi Vijaya , Noufal K. Husna 
Published: December 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of corneal collagen cross-linking on visual acuity and corneal parameters like keratometry and pachymetry.

Methods:
It was a retrospective, noncomparative, open-label study conducted at a tertiary eye care center. The eyes that underwent epithelium-off CXL (corneal collagen cross-linking) for progressive keratoconus between 2018 January and 2019 December, and who completed 24 months' post-CXL follow-up, were included in the study. Data regarding uncorrected and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (UCVA and BSCVA) and corneal topography parameters, that is, K
max, K
min, and pachymetry at thinnest point, were collected prior to the procedure and 2 years after the procedure.

Results:
A total of 92 eyes of 65 patients were included in the study. There was a significant improvement of logMAR BCVA from preoperative 0.40 ± 0.24 to 0.28 ± 0.19 at 24 months after CXL (P < 0.001). UCVA also increased from preoperative value of logMAR 0.70 ± 0.28 to 0.61 ± 0.26 2 years postoperatively (P < 0.001). The number of eyes achieving BCVA of 0.3 logMAR or better significantly increased from 54 (58.7%) preoperatively to 72 (78.26%) at 2 years and it was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.001). There was a significant improvement in K
max 49.38 ± 3.70 to 49.07 ± 3.45 (P = 0.0005) and K
min 45.65 ± 2.69 to 45.19 ± 2.46 (P < 0.001) following CXL.

Conclusion:
Corneal collagen cross-linking is a treatment modality to stabilize and even improve UCVA in patients with mild-to-moderate keratoconus.
