Published: January 2025

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo explorar las implicancias de la agencia no humana como mecanismo de interacción ludonarrativa en el videojuego Stray (2022), buscando esclarecer las relaciones de cooperación interespecie que en este se representan. El análisis se enfoca en determinar las dinámicas de cruce y vínculo que se fraguan entre entidades orgánicas e inorgánicas, estableciendo parentescos zootécnicos que cuestionan los preceptos conceptuales del posthumanismo crítico en contextos especulativos cyberpunk y ahumanos. Por último, interesa igualmente indagar respecto a las potenciales consecuencias que este tipo de interacciones puede tener en el videojugador y su propia caracterización agéntica.
Comment étudier la création culinaire dans la gastronomie ?
Authors: Zancanaro Frédéric 
Published: January 2025

A partir de la question « comment les chefs imaginent ce qu’ils imaginent » ?, nous avons mis en place une méthodologie qui combine analyse interne et analyse externe des œuvres culinaires (analyse multidimensionnelle des œuvres culinaires contenues dans les cartes des restaurants tri-étoilés dans le guide Michelin, entretiens biographiques auprès de chefs triplement étoilés, observations terrains et consommations de mets in situ) permettant de saisir les propriétés sociales incorporées des chefs (les dispositions) et les propriétés sociales objectivées des contextes (les interactions). Le modèle proposé permet d’observer à l’échelle macrosociale (la gastronomie d’un pays) mais aussi à l’échelle microsociale (un chef) la fabrication des processus de création dans une société.
Assassin’s Creed dans la Bagdad abbasside. Enjeux de médiation et d’authenticité dans la mobilisation d’un jeu vidéo historique au musée
Authors: Lavenir Gabrielle 
Published: January 2025

L’exposition de l’Institut du Monde Arabe sur la Bagdad abbasside mobilise le jeu vidéo « Assassin’s Creed : Mirage » et sa reconstitution de la ville au IXe siècle comme outil de médiation et de diffusion des connaissances historiques. Ce choix reflète l’entrée progressive des jeux vidéo dans les musées mais aussi la persistance du recours à la fiction historique pour proposer des reconstitutions du passé à des publics divers. L’exposition, ses choix muséographiques et le jeu qui la structure reflètent les enjeux et les débats relatifs au jeu vidéo historique, qu’il s’agisse de l’apprentissage, de la représentation ou de l’écriture de l’histoire.
Compte rendu du forum « Matrimoine : (pour) faire genre ? »
Authors: Delporte Olivia , Grasset Emmanuelle 
Published: January 2025

Le 9 mars 2024 s’est tenu à la Philharmonie de Paris le forum « Matrimoine : (pour) faire genre ? », organisé en partenariat avec le Centre national de la musique (CNM). Ouvert par un entretien de l’historienne Michelle Perrot mettant en évidence l’absence des femmes d’une large partie du discours historique contemporain et la nécessité, de fait, de réécrire ce dernier, le forum était ensuite organisé autour de trois tables rondes animées par Emmanuel Laurentin (France Culture). Quelles modalités permettent d’expliquer l’oubli ou la silenciation des femmes ? Comment rebâtir le patrimoine féminin aujourd’hui ? Telles étaient notamment les questions discutées lors de cette journée centrée sur la notion de matrimoine, dans le champ de la musique comme celui de l’histoire de l’art et des savoirs, de l’édition, l’éducation, la recherche et la transmission.
Dépatrimonialisation et repatrimonialisation des mémoires coloniales locales
Authors: Zheng Shanshan , Wu Ziqi 
Published: January 2025

Cet article explore, à travers une étude de cas, les formes et dynamiques de dé-patrimonialisation et de repatrimonialisation des mémoires coloniales au niveau local en Chine. Depuis les années 1990, la gestion des espaces coloniaux est devenue cruciale pour la valorisation patrimoniale et le développement local. Cette étude se concentre sur l’héritage colonial de Guangzhouwan dans les districts de Chikan et Xiashan, à Zhanjiang. Nous tentons de comprendre comment les héritages coloniaux, initialement perçus comme des mémoires « négatives », ont été progressivement transformés en atouts touristiques et culturels. L’étude examine les trajectoires de dépatrimonialisation et de repatrimonialisation en s’appuyant sur des enquêtes de terrain et des entretiens pour recueillir des témoignages oraux, réalisés entre 2013 et 2023, ainsi que sur l’analyse de divers documents d’archives couvrant la période de 1898 à 2024.

Authors: Barnes Roline Y. , Bodenstein Karen , Nel Mariëtte 
Published: January 2025

Background: Cancer is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its symptoms can affect an individual’s life holistically.Objectives: Our study aimed to determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of individuals dealing with cancer in the Free State, South Africa.Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study design utilising the standardised Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – General (FACT-G) questionnaire as well as a self-developed sociodemographic and general health information questionnaire was used in this study. The study was conducted at the Universitas Annex Oncology Clinic.Results: A total of 507 participants were conveniently sampled. The median age was 53 years with 73.8% being female. The FACT-G’s overall score ranged from 11.7 to 108, with a median of 76.7 (interquartile range [IQR] 63–89.5). The Social or Family Well-Being subscale indicated the highest median of 22.2 and the Emotional Well-Being subscale the lowest of 18. The Physical Well-Being subscale found that 61.8% of individuals felt forced to spend time in bed and 53.4% experienced nausea. The Functional Well-Being subscale showed that 70.3% of individuals accepted their illness and 51.6% enjoyed their life.Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of using a clinical assessment tool to determine the influence of cancer on the individual’s HRQoL. Involvement of the individual’s family and friends during management, as well as identifying the need for psychosocial support, is crucial for positively influencing HRQoL.Clinical implications: The FACT-G is a valuable tool in guiding physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals with patients’ cancer-related treatment experiences.
The Essential Role of Physical Activity in Healthy Living and Cardiovascular Disease: A Narrative Review
Authors: Ozemek Cemal , Hardwick Joel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In its simplest definition, a healthy lifestyle is a way of living that lowers the risk of being seriously ill or dying early. There are many behaviors associated with living a healthy lifestyle, and understandably very few individuals in industrialized societies follow a lifestyle that facilitates the maintenance of an optimal body weight, physical activity (PA) levels, regular consumption of at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables, abstain from smoking, and having moderate to no consumption of alcohol. To bring more attention to each of these elements, the American Heart Association identified 8 essential measures (PA, diet, blood glucose, weight, lipids, blood pressure, smoking status, and sleep quality) to maintain general and cardiovascular health. Following each of these behaviors and managing each of these measures drastically reduces one’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, pursuing multiple behavior changes at once may prove to be burdensome to many individuals. Instead, selecting one and adding additional behaviors when ready is a preferred model. Among the various behaviors, PA has consistently been demonstrated to have numerous beneficial effects across physiologic systems. This review will therefore focus on the health benefits of PA and its role in CVD.

Authors: Wang Ziyin , Huang Wei , Liu Jingjing , Liu Qin , Wang Qingbing , Wu Zhiyuan , Zhu Yu , Ding Xiaoyi , Wang Zhongmin 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To evaluate the postoperative complications and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a solitary kidney after irreversible electroporation (IRE).

Materials and Methods:
A total of 8 patients with 9 RCCs in a solitary kidney treated with computed tomography (CT)-guided IRE from February 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up included contrast-enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging examinations at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and each year after IRE and the evaluation of the incidence of postoperative complications, renal function changes, local tumor recurrence, and metastasis.

Results:
Technical success was achieved in all 8 patients treated with IRE. No serious complications were observed. Recurrence or metastasis occurred in two patients. The renal function and hemoglobin values of the 8 patients before treatment and at the last follow-up showed no significant difference.

Conclusion:
IRE is a relatively effective, safe, and feasible treatment for RCCs in a solitary kidney, which improved the effective survival and quality of life of these patients.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Patients with transplant-ineligible relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) have limited treatment options and poor outcomes.

Methods:
This phase III study (NCT04236141) evaluated the efficacy and safety of polatuzumab vedotin plus bendamustine and rituximab (Pola+BR) versus BR in Chinese patients with transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL to support regulatory submission in China. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive Pola+BR or placebo+BR. The primary endpoint was complete response (CR) at the end of treatment (EOT) by positron emission tomography–computed tomography.

Results:
Overall, 42 patients were analyzed (Pola+BR, n = 28; placebo+BR, n = 14). At data cutoff (July 12, 2021; median follow-up: 7.5 months), CR at EOT was 25.0% (7/28) with Pola+BR and 14.3% (2/14) with placebo+BR, 10.7% difference [95% confidence interval (CI): –19.0, 40.4]. The median investigator-assessed progression-free survival was 4.6 (95%CI: 3.1–6.4) months with Pola+BR and 2.0 (95% CI: 1.9–4.6) months with placebo+BR, with a 50% reduction in risk of progression or death (unstratified hazard ratio: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.24–1.05). The median overall survival was 10.6 [95% CI: 5.5–not evaluable (NE)] and 6.5 (95% CI: 6.0–NE) months, with a 45% reduction in risk of death. The incidence of Grade 3–4 adverse events was similar between Pola+BR (20/27 patients, 74.1%) and placebo+BR arms (11/14 patients, 78.6%).

Conclusions:
Efficacy findings were consistent with results of the GO29365 study (NCT02257567); treatment with Pola+BR led to clinically meaningful improvements in response rates in Chinese patients with transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL with no new safety signals.

Authors: Govindraju Poornima , Pachipulusu Balaji , Girish HC 
Published: January 2025

Context:
Gender determination using crista galli (CG).

Aims:
To estimate the morphometric and morphological characters of CG in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and to evaluate its relation with gender determination.

Settings and Design:
A Retrospective Study.

Methods and Material:
In total, 281 (112 males and 169 females) CBCT images were analyzed, and the height, length, and width of CG were calculated. The morphological types according to the position of CG based on the base of the cribriform plate and the shape of the CG were assessed. Pneumatization of CG was investigated.

Statistical Analysis Used:
ROC curve analysis was used to predict the gender; descriptive analysis and independent student t-test were used to compare mean values of CG morphometric parameters with gender; and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the presence of pneumatization and morphological classification of CG.

Results:
The most common types of Keros were type II, type III, and type I; the teardrop type was seen more frequently, followed by tubular and ossified types. Pneumatization was present in 4.3% of the patients. The study showed a significant relationship between morphometric measurements and gender, with an accuracy of 60% in gender determination when height was considered and 58% accuracy when the width of CG was considered. The morphological characters of CG showed no significant relationship with gender.

Conclusion:
The morphometric and morphological characters of CG can be evaluated using CBCT images, and these characters can be used in gender determination.
Cone-Beam Computed Tomographic Evaluation of Prevalence and Internal Dental Morphology of Radix Entomolaris and Paramolaris in Mandibular First and Second Molars—A Retrospective Study
Authors: Biswas Mousumi , Mazumdar Dibyendu , Agarwala Siddhi , Saha Kallol K. , Dutta Kaushik 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Failure to identify root canal variations (such as extra roots) leads to poor prognosis of endodontic therapy. The prevalence of the same should be known to the clinicians.

Aim:
To evaluate the prevalence of radix entomolaris (RE) and radix paramolaris (RP) and its anatomic variations in mandibular first and second molars in a tertiary care center in Kolkata, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:
Analysis of 305 CBCT scans (126 males and 179 females; mean age 24.72 ± 8.14 years) was done to evaluate 1220 molars (610 mandibular first molars (MFM) and 610 mandibular second molars (MSM)) to detect radix. Sex, unilateral/bilateral presentation, classification, root canal length, configuration, curvature, and inter-orifice distance were recorded. The results were analyzed with Chi-square test.

Result:
The overall prevalence of radix entomolaris was found to be 2.8% (n = 35), in mandibular first molars—5.4% (n = 33), in mandibular second molars—0.32% (n = 2); higher in females (n = 20) (P = 0.25). Nine scans showed unilateral occurrence, and 13 showed bilateral presentation (P = 0.26). The radix showed typically shorter roots, with root divergence and curvatures, and increased intra-orifice distance. All radices had Vertucci’s Type 1 configuration. Type A radix entomolaris was found to be most prevalent—60% (n = 21), followed by Type AC—20% (n = 7).

Conclusion:
The results of this study recommend modifying the access cavity preparation, using magnification, and encourage the use of advanced radiographic techniques like cone-beam computed tomography whenever radix is suspected.

Authors: Singh Balwinder , Madan Alisha , Kaur Kirandeep , Saraya Prabhnoor Kaur , Bhatnagar Deepti , Aggarwal Amit 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Gender determination is crucial in forensic odontology, particularly during mass disasters where unknown craniofacial fragments are the only source of information.

Aim:
To determine sexual dimorphism by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT; 3D) analysis of mental foramen among the North Indian population.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred and twenty CBCT scans were analyzed to assess the position of the mental foramen. The distance from the superior border of the mental foramen to the lower border of the mandible (SLM) and the distance from the lower border of the mental foramen to the lower border of the mandible (ILM), along with the thickness of the lower border of the mandible, were recorded, tabulated, and subjected to statistical analysis.

Results:
The mean distance of the right SLM among male and female subjects was 16.03 ± 1.91 mm and 15.35 ± 1.39 mm, respectively. The measurements for the left SLM were 15.83 ± 1.66 mm in males and 14.49 ± 1.70 mm in females. Similarly, for the right ILM, the mean distance was measured as 13.04 ± 1.86 mm in males and 12.05 ± 1.20 mm in females, and for the left ILM, the mean distance was 12.74 ± 1.46 mm in males and 11.87 ± 1.53 mm in females. There was a statistically significant difference between the genders and the sides of SLM and ILM.

Conclusion:
The distances from the mental foramen to the lower border of the mandible exhibit sexual dimorphism and can be used to predict gender in the North Indian population.

Authors: Subramanian Mohithan , Fenn Saramma Mathew , Reddy Gowda Venkatesha Ramachandra , Rajarammohan Karthik , Thangavelu Ravikumar Pethagounder 
Published: January 2025

Background:
Oral cancer represents a major global health concern, accounting for approximately 11 million new cases and over 6 million deaths annually. Early detection and accurate prediction of metastasis are critical in improving outcomes.

Objectives:
To evaluate serum and salivary LDH levels and their correlation among oral cancer patients, potential malignant disorders, tobacco users, and healthy individuals.

Methods:
The study divided 120 participants into four groups: Group A (oral cancer), Group B (potentially malignant disorders), Group C (tobacco users), and a control group of 30 healthy individuals. Saliva and serum samples (2 ml each) were collected, stored at -20°C, and analyzed within 24 hours following centrifugation. Both serum and saliva were analyzed using an LDH kit (Liquizyme) on a semi-auto analyzer. Following the collection of values, statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation.

Results:
One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in salivary LDH levels among groups (Controls: 82.00 IU/L, Tobacco users: 106.97 IU/L, Potentially malignant group: 157.23 IU/L, Oral cancer group: 193.73 IU/L, P < 0.05). Pearson’s correlation indicated positive correlations in oral cancer (r = 0.1295), potential malignant disorder (r = 0.0961), and healthy individuals (r = 0.2402), while tobacco users showed a negative correlation (r = -0.0849).

Conclusion:
The study has shown that salivary LDH is preferable to serum LDH for early detection and monitoring, showing significant elevation in oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders, with the advantage of non-invasive method of collection.
Lectin Microarray Analysis of Salivary Gland Glycoproteins from the Arboviral Vector Aedes aegypti and the Malaria Vector Anopheles stephensi
Authors: Ramasamy Ranjan , Chen Xi , Zhang Jian , Sivabalakrishnan Kokila , Arthiyan Sivasingham , Surendran Sinnathamby N 
Published: January 2025

Background and objectives:
Salivary glands proteins but not glycoconjugates have been previously studied in mosquito vectors of human diseases. Glycoconjugates from salivary gland-derived proteins from human-feeding tick vectors can elicit hypersensitivity reactions which may also occur with mosquito bites. Protein glycoconjugate in salivary glands of the principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti and the rapidly spreading malaria vector Anopheles stephensi were therefore investigated.

Methods:
Forty different lectins in a microarray were used to analyse glycoconjugates in salivary gland proteins from both mosquito species.

Results:
Salivary gland glycoproteins of both mosquitoes possessed similar lectin-binding specificities. Lectin-binding profiles in both mosquitoes showed the significant presence of oligomannose N-linked glycans, O-linked glycans, a limited presence of glycan structures capped with terminal GalNAc, GlcNAc, β linked Gal, α1-6 linked fucose, and no detectable sialic acids or terminal α-linked Gal in salivary gland glycoproteins.

Interpretation & conclusion:

Aedes aegypti and An. stephensi possess similar salivary gland protein glycoconjugates to mosquito larval tissues. They differ from arachnid ticks in lacking detectable α-gal epitopes that are responsible for red meat allergy caused by tick bites.
Anatomical Diversification of Left Coronary Artery and Its Branches in Western Maharashtra Population
Authors: Anandi S. , Ghosh Dibendu , Roy Siddhartha , Ahuja Manish Singh , Bandyopadhyay Debasis 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
The right and left coronary arteries are the branches arising from the ascending aorta. They lie within subendocardial fibrofatty tissue and supply blood to the heart. The left coronary artery (LCA) originates from the left coronary sinus and splits into two branches, the circumflex artery (CX) and the left anterior descending artery (LAD) also called the anterior interventricular artery (AIVA). Furthermore, among the two coronary arteries, the LCA exhibits noticeable variation concerning its origin, length, branching pattern, level of termination, and mode of termination of its branches. Our study aimed to determine the number and position of coronary orifices in the aortic sinuses, morphometry of LCA, AIVA, and CX arteries, the branching pattern of LCA, and the prevalence of coronary dominance.

Methodology:
Sixty-two well-embalmed formalin-fixed cadaveric hearts were included in the study and dissected over 20 months. After opening the thoracic cavity, the heart was removed from the cadaver, and the LCA was identified, its two main branches, the AIVA and the CX artery, were traced in the anterior interventricular grooves and the left part of the anterior atrioventricular groove, respectively. The location of coronary ostia of LCA was identified and the length and branching pattern of LCA along with its branches were noted. Subsequently, the diameters of LCA, AIVA, and CX were noted, and the posterior interventricular artery was identified and analyzed to determine coronary dominance.

Results:
Out of 62 cadaveric hearts, the outer luminal diameters of LCA, CX, and AIVA were found to range between 2 and 3.8 mm, 2 and 3.6 mm, and 1.8 and 3.4 mm, respectively. The length of the principal trunk of LCA was measured between 1.13 mm and 10.18 mm. The LCA was bifurcating in 36 hearts (58%), the LCA was trifurcating in 22 hearts (35.4%), and the LCA showed quadrifurcation in 04 hearts (6.4%). In addition, 02 hearts (3.2%) exhibited left dominance, and 60 hearts (96.8%) had right dominance.

Conclusions:
With the latest developments made in the field of cardiothoracic surgery to achieve myocardial reperfusion during an event of coronary artery occlusion, the need for a thorough understanding of coronary artery variability is mandatory. Diagonal arteries form important collateral circulation. If atherosclerosis occurs in diagonal arteries, adjacent parts of LAD and CX are also affected. In quadrifurcation and trifurcation, diagonal arteries are not in their usual anatomical position, and the procedure of stenting becomes difficult at times.
Anatomy: Then and Now
Authors: Sidhu Gulbahar Singh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The teaching of anatomy has changed significantly from the early 1990s to now. Conventional teaching consisted of cadaver dissection and attempting to understand the basic concepts with the help of the standard textbooks and the accompanying illustrations, which was time-consuming but highly rewarding. With the advent of digitalization, computer-based techniques, including artificial intelligence (AI), are being increasingly used for teaching anatomy. Has this helped the students? Is information overload an emerging problem? The traditional methods of cadaveric dissection continue to be a better way to understand the concepts of neuroanatomy. Further, a judicious mix of computer-assisted and AI-based teaching and learning methods on the one hand, and conventional methods on the other, may be the way forward.
