Authors: Genyk Isabelle , Macaire Élise 
Published: January 2025

Cette contribution porte sur la socialisation aux pratiques professionnelles participatives des étudiantes et étudiants à travers l’analyse de leurs attentes et de leurs trajectoires durant la formation initiale et leurs premières expériences professionnelles. Elle repose sur l’un des axes d’une recherche-action fondée sur une expérimentation pédagogique menée depuis 2016 dans le cadre de l’enseignement de l’architecture sous la forme de résidences en interformation dans des communes rurales. L’objectif est de comprendre comment un enseignement du projet « hors les murs » qui repose sur des principes coopératifs et participatifs, participe à la construction des professionnalités émergentes des étudiant.es à travers les choix d’activité et les postures professionnelles en cours de construction.Socialisation to Participative Professional Practices and Cooperative Pedagogies. The Example of Student Residences in Rural AreasThis contribution looks at the socialisation of students into participatory professional practices through an analysis of their expectations and trajectories during their initial training and their first professional experiences. It is based on one of the axes of an action-research project based on a teaching experiment conducted since 2016 in the context of architecture teaching in the form of inter-training residencies in rural municipalities. The aim is to understand how “off-site” project teaching, based on cooperative and participatory principles, contributes to the construction of students' emerging professionalities through the choices of activity and professional postures that are being constructed.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Overwhelming or prolonged stress causes impairment in various functional domains. Stressful situations at the workplace may be contributed by poor interpersonal relationships, shift work, poorly defined goals, incompatibility between employees’ skills and the assigned work, etc. Occupational stress may further deteriorate productivity at work, leading to workplace accidents, substance use, absenteeism, and conflicts. Hence, it is important to assess the stress levels among employees, recognize contributory factors and promote mental health at the workplace.

Aims:
(i) To assess the level of stress among the employees of general medical colleges and hospital. (ii) To determine the factors influencing the level of stress.

Methodology:
This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a general medical college and hospital in Mumbai. Two hundred and six participants were enrolled, consisting of doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and class IV workers. Sociodemographic factors were assessed via a semi-structured pro forma. Information related to occupational stress was collected via the Brief Stress Questionnaire.

Results:
The prevalence of occupational stress was 60%. The mean BSQ score was 25.485. Young adults and males had a higher mean BSQ score. Doctors, nurses, and class IV workers perceived a higher level of stress (27.62, 27.88, and 23.559, respectively). The most prevalent contributors to occupational stress were deadlines and time pressures (12.62%), too many jobs to do at once (12.13%), etc.

Conclusion:
Occupational stress is prevalent in varying intensities among the health-care employees. Identifying and addressing the contributory factors would help in the prevention of burnout among health-care workers.

Authors: Kota Sushmitha , Shah Rakesh Jayantilal 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
Music therapy is a type of expressive arts therapy that uses music to improve and maintain the physical, psychological, and social well-being of individuals. Studies have shown an impact on depression and anxiety, while there is very little literature that has focused on the negative symptoms of schizophrenia; hence, we aim to study the effectiveness of music therapy in patients with negative symptoms of schizophrenia.

Materials and Methods:
Seventy-nine patients were randomized to get 40 cases and 39 controls. Cases received music interventions in addition to standard treatment, while controls received only standard treatment. Both cases and controls’ negative symptoms were assessed with the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) before and after music therapy. The Chi-square test, independent t-test, and Mann–Whitney U test were used to determine the associations.

Results:
We had 36 cases and 31 controls at the end of the music therapy, and there was an association of application of music therapy in negative symptoms of schizophrenia with occupation among cases (P = 0.037). There were huge differences in negative symptoms pre- and postmusic therapy among cases (31.44 ± 9.21) when compared to controls (4.42 ± 5.97) and significant association of affective flattening, alogia, avolition, anhedonia/asociality, and attentional impairment with music therapy (P < 0.00001 each).

Conclusions:
There is a significant association of each domain of negative symptoms of schizophrenia with music therapy and also improves work efficiency, irrespective of age, gender, marital status, education, and background of the patient with music therapy.
A Rare Case of an Inferior Gluteal Artery Causing Compressive Vascular Neuropathy of the Sciatic Nerve Presenting as Foot Drop
Authors: Wahane Madhugandha , Agrawal Amit , Sureka Rajendra Kumar 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Foot drop is most frequently caused by peroneal or sciatic nerve injury. The most common causes of nerve injury are trauma, compression, tumor, or entrapment. Vascular compressive neuropathy was extensively studied by Hultborn and Kjellman, and they observed that gluteal artery aneurysm can present with sciatica-like symptoms. Saritha et al. have studied the anatomical variation in the bifurcation of the sciatic nerve and its presentation. So far, there are no case reports on a vascular anomaly in association with an anatomical variation leading to compressive vascular neuropathy. We present a rare case of foot drop caused by compressive vascular neuropathy of the sciatic nerve, caused by a traversing inferior gluteal artery.

Authors: Boz Hatice Eraslan , Tüfekçi Işıl Yağmur , Akkoyun Müge , Koçoğlu Koray , Akdal Gülden 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This study examined saccadic reaction time (SRT) in visually guided saccades according to age and its relationship with attention and working memory.

Materials and Methods:
The study participants were divided into three groups: young adulthood (18–39 years), middle adulthood (40–59 years old), and older age groups (over 60 years). A total of 85 participants, including 20 young aged, 26 middle aged, and 39 older aged, participated in the study. SRT was recorded using the EyeLink 1000 Plus eye tracker, and 32 trials were conducted. In addition, neuropsychological tests assessing attention and working memory including the Trail Making Test (TM), Digit Span (DS), and Stroop test were applied to the participants.

Results:
SRTs were prolonged in the middle adulthood (P = 0.026) and older age group compared with young adulthood (P = 0.002). However, SRT did not differ between the middle adulthood and older age groups (P > 0.05). In addition, SRT was moderately positively and negatively correlated with TM-A (r = 0.355, P = 0.001), TM-B (r = 0.460, P < 0.001), TM-B-A (r = 0.433, P < 0.001), and DS backward (r = −0.409, P < 0.001) that is visual attention and working memory.

Conclusion:
SRT may be affected by age. This appears to be part of the visual attention and working memory associated with the saccadic decision-making process.

Authors: Shahba Samar A. , Ahmed Amira Y. , Eldib Ayman S. , Ibrahim Ibrahim S.E.D. 
Published: January 2025

Background
B7-H4 represents a recently identified B7 family member of molecules that exhibits a crucial impact on the tumor microenvironment regulation since it is deemed to inhibit both innate immunity as well as T-cell responses.

Aim
This work was aimed at assessing B7-H4 as a diagnostic marker in malignant pleural effusion (MPE).

Patients and methods
Our prospective analytic controlled case study involved 50 patients aged above 12 years old with parapneumonic, tuberculous, and MPE. All participants went through an equal categorization into two groups: group I: malignant cases with MPE. Group II: benign cases having benign PE. B7-H4 was measured in pleural fluid (PF) and serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results
B7-H4 PF, as well as serum levels, exhibited significantly higher values within group I, possessing a significant positive correlation between both. The cut-off point of the PF level of B7-H4 in the diagnosis of MPF was 42 ng/ml, with a sensitivity of 88%, specificity of 80%, positive predictive value of 81%, negative predictive value 87%, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.939. While the serum level of B7-H4 cut-off was 33 ng/ml, sensitivity 80%, specificity 72%, positive predictive value 74%, negative predictive value 78%, and area under the curve 0.916.

Conclusion
High sensitivity and specificity of B7-H4 were observed while detecting MPE. The PF level of B7-H4 is more sensitive, specific, and accurate in the diagnosis of MPF than the serum level of B7-H4.

Authors: Farouk Heba S. , Elseht Rabab M. , Allam Waleed A. , Naseef Mohamed H. 
Published: January 2025

Background
The thickness of the corneal epithelium can be precisely measured using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).

Aim
This study aimed to conduct an AS-OCT evaluation of changes in the corneal epithelial thickness following collagen cross-linking (CXL).

Patient and methods
This prospective interventional study utilized 23 eyes from 13 cases who underwent treatment for progressive keratoconus (KC) with epi-off corneal CXL according to the Dresden’s Protocol.

Results
After 6 months postoperative the central minimum epithelial thickness (0.0–2.0 mm) showed a statistically significant increase, while the mid-peripheral (5.0–7.0 mm) showed a statistically significant decrease compared with the preoperative level. The central average epithelial thickness (0.0–2.0 mm) showed statistically nonsignificant increase, while the mid-peripheral and peripheral (5.0–7.0, 7.0–9.0 mm) showed a statistically significant decrease in comparison to the level before the operation. At 6 months postoperative, a decrease in Mean k was associated with statistically significant elevation in average central and paracentral epithelial thickness (0.0–2.0, 2.0–5.0 mm) as compared with the preoperative level (negative correlation). At 6 months postoperative, reduction in thinnest pachymetry was associated with statistically significant increase in central and paracentral average epithelial thickness (0.0–2.0, 2.0–5.0 mm) (negative correlation) as compared with the preoperative and 3 months postoperative.

Conclusions
With AS-OCT, it is simple to track changes in the epithelium over time. Epithelial remodeling occurs after CXL in the areas of protrusion and thinning. The thickness of the epithelium is greatest at the cone’s base and diminishes as one moves away from it.

Authors: Elhashash Esraa R.K. , Elbadry Amr M.T. , Elshahawy Alshimaa Z. , Ammar Alshimaa M. 
Published: January 2025

Background
The Dixon method for fat/water separation employs a technique for achieving consistent fat suppression by utilizing water-only reconstruction. The fat-only Dixon technique is a tool for identifying microscopic fat and assessing pathological lesions of concern.

Aim
To investigate the MRI Dixon fat fraction role in assessing fat deposition among nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) cases and correlation with ultrasonography (USG).

Patients and methods
This study included 30 cases, with an age range falling between 19 and 80 years, both sexes. We included those with one or more risk factors for NAFLD in which diffuse hepatic steatosis or normal liver was identified utilizing USG of the abdomen. Participants were examined using USG examination and MRI.

Results
Good agreement (k=0.615) between two imagining methods (MRI T1 Dixon and USG) in detecting fatty liver with significant difference between diagnostic confidence (accuracy) of MRI T1 Dixon and USG in detection of fatty liver (P=0.005). A significant variance was observed among the grading of fatty liver by MRI T1 Dixon and the presence of METs criteria and alanine aminotransferase level (P<0.05). By USG, a moderate agreement between fatty liver grading utilizing MRI T1 Dixon and fatty liver grading utilizing USG (k=0.526).

Conclusions
Dixon MRI was a noninvasive method for quantifying fat fraction in NAFLD. When comparing the fatty liver grading on USG with the assessment of liver fat with MRI T1 Dixon of the liver, there was a significant overlap in the fat percentage within each grade.

Authors: Elsayed Amal S.A. , Aldorghami Alaa A. , Allam Walid A. , Sharaf Amr F. 
Published: January 2025

Background
Albumin eye drops (AED) can be effective in the healing of corneal epithelial defects. Albumin is the main protein component of autologous serum and therefore may be useful in the treatment of ocular surface diseases such as corneal ulcers and epithelial defects.

Aim
This work aimed to study the effect of human AED as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defects (PCEDs).

Patients and methods
This prospective study was conducted in 20 patients aged 18–60 years, of both sexes, with PCEDs that did not respond to standard medical treatment for 10 to 14 days. All patients underwent slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, intraocular pressure measurement (digital), corneal swab, culture, and sensitivity.

Results
There was a significant positive correlation between the duration of medical therapy with the persistent antiepithelial defect AED and the size of the persistent epithelial defect at presentation (P<0.05). There was significant improvement in pain sensation, ciliary injection, persistent epithelial defect size, corneal, and stromal infiltration during the study period. There was no significant association between the duration of continuous ant epithelial drug therapy AED and stromal infiltration at presentation (P=0.627).

Conclusion
The promising therapeutic effects of AED on the corneal epithelium have been demonstrated. Albumin has shown a therapeutic effect in the treatment of PCEDs.
Von Willebrand factor and VITRO score as useful markers predict spontaneous bacterial peritonitis with and without hepatorenal syndrome in Egyptian cirrhotic patients
Authors: Salem Helal Mohammed , Elbassat Hanan Ahmed , El Bendary Amal Said , El_Sharawy Shimaa Mahmoud 
Published: January 2025

Background
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is commonly elevated in patients with cirrhosis. Moreover, it is a predictor of morbidity and mortality.

Aim
We aimed to examine whether Egyptian cirrhotic patients have a higher risk of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and its associated complications based on their von Willebrand factor level.

Patients and methods
This cross-sectional study included 90 hepatitis c virus (HCV)-positive cirrhotic patients. Group A, consisted of 30 patients without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; Group B, consisted of 30 patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; and Group C, consisted of 30 patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis complicated by hepatorenal syndrome. All study participants had paracentesis samples for diagnostic testing. Serum von Willebrand factor was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Model for end-stage liver disease score, von Willebrand factor antigen/thrombocyte ratio (VITRO) and Child-Pugh stages were calculated.

Results
Von Willebrand factor level at a cut-off value > 196.5 international unit/deciliter (IU/dL) could predict the presence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Moreover, it has been found that von Willebrand factor cut-off value of >244 IU/dL can predict hepatorenal syndrome. With VITRO score cut-off >2.26, the presence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis can be predicted. Also, cut-off value>2.60 can be used to predict the occurrence of hepatorenal syndrome as a complication of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Conclusion
Von Willebrand factor could be a reliable noninvasive predictor of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and Hepatorenal syndrome in cirrhotic patients.
Relation of postoperative refraction and anterior chamber depth changes after uneventful phacoemulsification
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed A. 
Published: January 2025

Background
Following cataract surgery, the focus changed from relieving blindness to achieving precise refractive correction and rapid recovery. A lot of factors influence the visual outcome. The variance in postoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD) is one of the essential factors.

Aim
To record the differences in postoperative ACD measurements and its effects on postoperative refraction in individuals who had uneventful cataract surgery at Suez General Hospital.

Patіents and methods
Fifty eyes from fifty patients who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification by the same surgeon. Using the ocular biometer The IOLMaster 500 from ZEISS, (ACD) were assessed pre and postsurgery, 1 and 3 months after the procedure. The postoperative spherical equivalent were recorded.

Results
Mean age was (58.7±7.5) years. a highly significant difference in ACD values between preoperative and 1 and 3 months post-surgery (P<0.0001). While the ACD difference between 1 and 3 months postsurgery was insignificant (P=0.332). Fourteen (28%) of the eyes had a myopic spherical refractive error, 24 (48%) had a hyperopic refractive error, and 12 (24%) had no refractive error. An inverse association (r=–0.243, P=0.039) between the myopic sphere refractive errors and the variation in ACD.

Conclusіon
A high incidence of postoperative hyperopic shift spherical errors was linked to more extensive preoperative ACD measurements associated with less ACD deepening. While a more significant incidence of postoperative myopic shift spherical errors was linked to a small preoperative ACD with a greater degree of postoperative ACD deepening; therefore, postoperative ACD changes have a significant impact on postoperative refraction.
