La restauration du carton « Le Martyre de saint Paul » de Pieter Coecke van Aelst : choisir c’est s’engager
Authors: Bartelloni-Cascio Hélène , Drieu la Rochelle Isabelle 
Published: December 2023

La restauration du carton de tapisserie de Peter Coecke Van Aelst, « Le martyre de Saint-Paul » (1535), s’est déroulée de décembre 2015 à mai 2017 au Musée de la Ville de Bruxelles. Remanié plusieurs fois, régulièrement consolidé, cette œuvre nécessitait une intervention fondamentale du fait d’un état matériel critique. Confiée à une équipe franco-belge de 10 restaurateurs d’arts graphiques, la restauration a eu pour objectif de retirer l’ancien support de consolidation et d’en concevoir un nouveau afin d’assurer la conservation sur le long terme de cette importante œuvre de la Renaissance. Après un exposé synthétique de l’état du carton, les étapes marquantes du chantier sont relatées : le décollage et le protocole adopté pour retirer et documenter les anciens supports de consolidation, les nombreuses découvertes résultant de ce décollage et les décisions qui en ont découlé, les principaux traitements appliqués aux feuilles du carton et les choix concernant leur remontage, le marouflage sur toile et le montage sur un châssis flottant auto-tenseur, et enfin le traitement des surpeints et le comblement des lacunes. Les raisons des modifications apportées à la composition du carton lors du remontage des feuilles sont expliquées par la présentation et la confrontation des dessins des quatre tapisseries conservées dans les musées de Vienne, Munich, Madrid et Bruxelles.
Le sens d’une constitution vu par l’Allemagne
Authors: Gaillet Aurore 
Published: December 2023

L’approche des célébrations respectives du soixantième anniversaire de la Constitution française et du soixante-dixième anniversaire de la Loi fondamentale allemande donne l’occasion de proposer une réflexion « vue d’Allemagne ». Après avoir présenté la spécificité de la notion de constitution au regard de l’histoire constitutionnelle allemande (XIX e siècle et Weimar), l’article s’attache aux débats plus contemporains accompagnant l’évolution de la Loi fondamentale (de son difficile départ en 1949 à sa relation étroite avec la Cour constitutionnelle fédérale). Les perspectives conclusives rappellent enfin les vifs débats occasionnés en Allemagne par l’idée de constitution européenne.
Le sens d’une constitution vu de l’Afrique
Authors: Hourquebie Fabrice 
Published: December 2023

Les constitutions africaines ont fait l’objet de beaucoup d’espoirs, dans un contexte d’essor du constitutionnalisme post 1990. Leur contenu prometteur tant sur le plan de la distribution des pouvoirs que sur celui de la protection des droits fondamentaux donnait à la constitution une sacralité qui lui avait manqué au lendemain des indépendances. Mais ces constitutions, en privilégiant la lettre sur l’esprit, ont aussi participé à la dénaturation du sens profond de la norme fondamentale. Norme suprême tantôt instrumentalisée par le pouvoir en place ; tantôt déstabilisée par la banalisation des révisions en dépit de la rigidité affichée ; ou encore menacée de l’intérieur par un contenu crisogène ; voire même concurrencée par des accords politiques à la portée juridique discutable. Cette délégitimation du sens commun des constitutions laisse apparaître un sens caché qui rend désormais incertaine la notion même de constitution en Afrique.
La mobilisation de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne par les juridictions constitutionnelles
Authors: Burgorgue-Larsen Laurence 
Published: December 2023

Au regard la mosaïque constitutionnelle du continent européen, la Charte des droits fondamentaux ne peut arborer de statut homogène au sein des ordres juridiques nationaux. Dans ce contexte, les Cours constitutionnelles ne lui octroient pas la même place dans le cadre de leur office. Toutefois, sa mobilisation, quand elle existe, répond à trois types de fonctions. La fonction interprétative laquelle utilise la Charte comme un référent majeur à l’heure d’interpréter les droits fondamentaux nationaux ; la fonction dialogique qui la hisse au cœur du dialogue avec la Cour de Justice de l’Union européenne et la fonction stratégique laquelle démontre que son invocabilité est au cœur d’enjeux très important de frontières où les compétences des différentes juridictions internes sont en jeu
Temps du récit et ordre liturgique dans les Evangelicae historiae imagines
Authors: Fabre Pierre-Antoine 
Published: December 2023

Les planches des Imagines sont signalées par une double numérotation, selon l’ordre du récit évangélique et selon l’ordre du calendrier liturgique. Deux possibilités de lecture sont donc ouvertes, que l’on retrouve dans la différence entre le recueil des seules gravures, publié en 1593 selon l’ordre évangélique, et de celui des Adnotationes et meditationes, l’année suivante, accompagnées de ces gravures désormais classées selon l’ordre liturgique. Ce « double jeu » est essentiel à l’échelle de l’histoire chrétienne, et spécialement dans ce second XVIe siècle où l’Église catholique doit réinventer ses institutions, dont sa liturgie, en la refondant sur sa référence ultime, le récit néo-testamentaire. L’objectif de cette contribution est de montrer comment le temps du récit et l’ordre liturgique ne cessent de croiser leurs deux légitimités – celle de l’Écriture et celle de la tradition – et organisent une lecture stratifiée des gravures des Imagines.
Les Evangelicae historiae imagines de Jerónimo Nadal sont-elles arrivées au Japon ?
Authors: Morishita Sylvie 
Published: December 2023

Les jésuites présents au Japon entre 1549 et 1640 ont eu recours aux images d’une part pour l’apostolat auprès des Japonais et d’autre part pour enseigner les techniques picturales aux artistes qu’ils formaient dans leur école d’art à Nagasaki. Les gravures européennes en particulier ont abondamment alimenté cette école. On sait avec certitude que les gravures de Jerónimo Nadal ont été demandées pour le Japon en 1587. Rien dans la documentation textuelle et iconographique ne permet d’affirmer qu’elles ont atteint le Japon : les destructions consécutives à l’interdiction du christianisme ont effacé toute trace éventuelle de leur présence. En revanche, une série de douze gravures françaises de 1603 conservées au Musée municipal de Kōbe présente un schéma de construction très proche du modèle nadalien et atteste du dynamisme des graveurs parisiens au tout début du XVIIe siècle.
Osteoblastoma of the first thoracic spine treated with corpectomy and fusion: A rare case report
Authors: Dishanth S. , Yulugxan T. , Athiththan P. , Gobyshanker T. 
Published: December 2023

Introduction and importance: Thoracic spine involvement of the osteoblastoma is a rare occurrence. A multidisciplinary approach will provide a good outcome.
Case presentation: We present a 16-year-old patient with a first thoracic spine managed surgically.
Clinical discussion: A 16-year-old schoolboy presented with a history of dull aching type neck pain which progressively worsens over the last four months without any neurological weakness. Radiographic studies of the spine show an expansile well-corticated lesion with central radiolucent nidus with bony sclerosis in the first thoracic spine which is suggestive of osteoblastoma. A corpectomy with a tricortical iliac graft fusion and anterior instrument stabilization was achieved by a multidisciplinary team. The patient is pain-free and a full range of neck movement is achieved.
Conclusion: Osteoblastoma of the spine can be treated surgically with a low risk of recurrence successfully. Torrential bleeding during the surgery is a devasting complication. Preoperative radiological embolization and Intraoperative navigations are the available options to overcome it. A combined multidisciplinary team approach will provide a good outcome.
Supracondylar fracture humerus with pink pulseless hand and angiogram confirmed vascular injury – Case report
Authors: Wijayasinghe S.R. , Dilanka P.D.O.S. 
Published: December 2023

Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is a common injury in paediatric population. Neurovascular damage is a well-known serious complication of this injury. This should be managed urgently by the treating clinician in order to prevent severe disability to the child. In this case report, we illustrate the presentation, management and follow up of a 7-year-old boy presented with a supracondylar humerus fracture, highlighting the diagnostic and therapeutic measures taken in sequential manner.
The child presented following a domestic fall and having pain, swelling and acute deformity of the left elbow. Clinically, no distal radial pulse or oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry detected on admission, even though the left hand was warm and pink with normal capillary refill time. X-ray confirmed the clinical diagnosis of supracondylar fracture humerus, and it was classified as Gartland type III.
Manipulation and casting done without internal fixation on the next available casualty list and even after 72 hours of the procedure no return of distal pulse despite warm, pink hand. After vascular opinion, CT Angiogram revealed no flow segment of 2.2cm of brachial artery at the trauma site and minimum demonstrable flow distally. However, watchful waiting was selected as the management option by both vascular and orthopaedic teams as this child continues to have warm, pink hand with normal capillary refilling and minimal pain.
In 6 months follow up, the child has gained both radial and ulnar pulses, full range of elbow motion, complete neurological recovery and good hand function.
Rosacea understanding among Korean patients: A multi-center questionnaire study
Authors: Woo Yu Ri , Kim Suyeun , Cho Sang Hyun , Kim Hei Sung 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background:
Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition. To manage rosacea long-term and prevent further flare-ups, patients need to be aware of the disease and have sound knowledge of the condition. However, few related studies have been conducted on this subject.

Objectives:
The aim of this study was to identify rosacea awareness and knowledge among Korean rosacea patients and their means of gathering information on the disease.

Methods:
A prospective multicenter cross-sectional study recruited a total of 201 outpatients who were diagnosed with rosacea by a dermatologist. All were asked to complete a questionnaire asking about their demographic characteristics, rosacea awareness, and knowledge.

Results:
Among 201 rosacea patients, 146 (72.6%) were unaware of the disease before their diagnosis. The median number of questions the patients correctly answered was 6 of a total of 13 questions (46%) on rosacea knowledge, implying relatively shallow knowledge on rosacea. Better understanding of rosacea was negatively associated with age (odds ratio [OR] 0.965; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.941 – 0.989) and positively associated with a higher education level (OR = 2.896; 95% CI: 1.379–6.082). Individuals with rosacea felt that they were getting reliable information from doctors (n = 189, 94%), followed by the Internet (n = 38, 18.9%).

Conclusion:
Overall, rosacea awareness and knowledge among Korean rosacea patients were relatively low. Detailed education, especially targeting elderly patients and those with low education levels, is necessary for better disease outcomes.
Is it mandatory to perform appendectomy in management of amyand’s hernia in children? our center experience
Authors: Fathy Mohamed , Ahmed Ahmed H. , Mustafa Alaa A.E. , Nagy Omar , Akoula Ahmed M. 
Published: December 2023

BackgroundAmyand’s hernia (AH) is a rare condition due to herniation of an appendix into the sac of the inguinal hernia. There is no consensus concerning the ideal management of AH whether to do appendectomy during herniotomy or not.MethodsA retrospective analysis of all patients’ data records with AH operated at Minia University pediatric surgery unit from Jan. 2018 to Dec. 2022 was done.ResultsFrom 2018 to 2022, 11 cases of AH were operated at Minia University pediatric surgery unit. The appendix alone was found in 7 (63.6%) cases, while it was associated with cecum in 2 (18.1%) cases and with bowel in 1 (9%) case and with both cecum and small bowel in 1 (9%) case. In 5 (45.45%) cases, the appendix was looking normal and was managed by reduction of appendix and herniotomy. In 6 (54.54%) cases the appendix was inflamed and managed by appendectomy and then herniotomy. The postoperative period was uneventful in all cases.ConclusionsAppendectomy should be done only for inflamed and/or ischemic appendages. Reduction of the appendix into the abdominal cavity followed by herniotomy in a normally looking appendix is a safe option and appendectomy should not be made for all cases.
Symbol interferometry and companding transform for PAPR reduction of OTFS signal
Authors: Gopal Aare , Reddy Desireddy Krishna , Chintagunta Srinivasarao 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis paper presents methods for reducing the peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) of the orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) signal. These methods mainly consist of two operations: symbol interferometry (SI) and either ‐law or ‐law companding. SI spreads the data of one OTFS symbol onto all symbols and is implemented using a simple inverse fast Fourier transform operation on each OTFS symbol. During the second operation, the PAPR of the OTFS signal is significantly reduced. For our performance analysis, the complementary cumulative distribution function, probability density function, and bit error rate are illustrated through simulations performed in MATLAB. The performance is also analyzed using a solid‐state power amplifier at the transmitter and compared with OTFS, ‐law‐based OTFS, and SI OTFS systems. The results indicate that the proposed OTFS system achieves a low PAPR.

Published: December 2023

Introduction : Healthcare financing is a critical global issue, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) grappling with underfunded health systems. Various financing approaches, such as fee-for-service, private insurance, general taxation, social insurance, community financing, loans, and grants, have been explored to bridge the funding gap. Health insurance, a mechanism involving resource pooling and risk sharing, plays a pivotal role in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and delivering quality healthcare. This study aimed to assess enrollees' satisfaction with the Formal Sector Social Health Insurance Scheme (FSSHIS) at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), with a focus on the registration process, waiting time, drug availability, and willingness to continue using the scheme.
Methods : A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at UNTH, Enugu, involving 470 enrollees. Data were collected using a pretested Patient Satisfaction Survey Questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Enrollees' satisfaction was assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, a score of ≥ 3 signified enrollees’ satisfaction.
Results : Respondents were satisfied with the processes of registration (4.10±0.95), getting an identity card (3.50±0.72) and interest shown by the providers (3.80±0.83). They were dissatisfied with the referral process (2.7±0.41), level of their involvement in decision making (2.8±0.44), long waiting time (2.5±0.45), non-availability of drugs (1.8±0.24) and diagnostic facilities (1.5±0.22). The overall satisfaction was poor (43%) while 59% would not recommend a health insurance scheme in the facility for family or friends.
Conclusions : Enrollees' dissatisfaction with the FSSHIS suggests a need for immediate intervention and improvement in healthcare service delivery. Addressing these concerns can foster increased utilization of health services and contribute to the scheme's success in achieving its objectives.

Published: December 2023

The local government system in Nigeria has the mandate to perform major functions which the higher tiers of government may not perform. To ensure that the development goals of the local government is achieved, it requires efficient manpower. The local government manpower includes the career civil servants and political office holders. How the two work in harmony has become a herculean task. Therefore the paper critically examined the roles of the career civil servants and politicians, and how the two can work to achieve the goals of the local government. The paper adopted documentaryresearch methodology, and content analysis technique was used. Team work was emphasized as a veritable tool to be used to foster grassroots development. Dichotomy between political office holders and local government career officers was critically interrogated. It is the position of the paper that politics and administration cannot be separated. Ultimately the paper is of the view that local government officers should eschew politics and mind their statutory duty of providing administrative services and guiding the political office holders on the nitty-gritty of local government administration and policy formulation. Therefore the two should work as partners in progress.

Cell mediated immunity (CMI), bacterial index (BI), morphological index (MI), skin and lymph nodes biopsies were evaluated in 15 patients with virchowian hanseniasis before and after treatment with transfer factor (TF) obtained from human spleens. The patients were divided in 3 groups: group I (control) received only sulforiti, group II received sulfone plus TF and group III received only TF. There was no difference in the numbers of peripherical T and B lymphocytes of patients and normal controls. Before the treatment with TF, there was an impaired response of the patient's peripheral lymphocytes to PHA stimulus, in the presence of autologous or homologous plasma. This depressed response was corrected after treatment With TF in the patients of group III. In none of the patients a positive Mitsuda reaction was observed before and after treatment with TF. The improvement of the MI observed in group IH, treated only with TF was remarkably similar to the patients treated only with sulfone. This work points out that TF has a role in the treatment of patients with virchowian hanseniasis, based on the improvement of CMI, MI, on histopathology of skin biopsies and clinical conditions.
An inquiry into the adoption of the term Mycobacterium hansenii
Authors: ROTBERG Abrahão 
Published: December 2023

An inquiry was made among various organs of the Public Health Service of the State of S. Paulo, Brazil, members of the Scientific Council and Editorial Board of "Hansenologia Internationalis", and Professors of Dermatology, Bacteriology, Neurology, Pathology and Preventive Medicine of Brazil, having in view the possibility of using the term Mycobacterium hansenii in that periodical, as a substitute for Mycobacterium leprae. The results were considered favorable to the change and led to the adoption of the new term by the Institute of Health, which publishes the periodical. The First Congress of Hansenology of the Endemic Countries and the Third Brazilian Congress of Hansenology, held in Rio de Janeiro, November 1980, were informed of the change and resolved to introduce Myco. hansenii as a synonym for Myco.leprae, upon a recommendation of their Workshops on Bacteriology. Appeals are made to the International Committee of Systematic Bacteriology and Societies of Bacteriology of the whole world to study the grave moral, social, medical and preventive problems caused by the bacteriological stigma" in endemic Christian countries.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is described as a qualitative enamel development defect that affects at least one permanent molar and may or may not affect the permanent incisors. The prevalence reported in the world literature ranges from 2.8% to 44%. Its etiology is still unclear, with prenatal, perinatal and postnatal factors often associated. Objectives: evaluate the prevalence of HMI in patients attented at a Dental School in the city of Vitória-ES and its association with causal factors. Methods: 302 children aged between 5 and 14 years were clinically evaluated under ideal conditions at the Children's Clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry of MULTIVIX and a questionnaire was applied. Results: 66 children (21.85%) had HMI. There was no significant difference between the sexes and there was no association with childhood respiratory diseases and preterm birth. Conclusion: High prevalence of MIH was found in Brazilian children and no association with respiratory diseases or premature births. It is suggested that further studies be carried out with standardized criteria to determine the prevalence and its relationship with causal factors.
