Une sultane indienne à Paris : Alina d’Eldir, magnétiseuse
Authors: Ceci Andrea 
Published: April 2023

Cet article se propose de reconstruire la vie et la pensée d’Alina d’Eldir (vers 1762-1851), prétendue princesse indienne et magnétiseuse célèbre à Paris au milieu du xixe siècle. La notoriété d’Eldir a été favorisée par son amitié avec un certain nombre d’hommes cultivés, tels que le marquis Agricol-Joseph Fortia d’Urban (1756-1843) et Jean-Baptiste-Modeste Gence (1755-1840), qui fondèrent un groupe nommé Cercle de la noble Porte de l’Élysée d’Eldir et, dès 1835, Ordre moral asiatique universel. En outre, l’article s’interroge sur l’ouverture de l’Ordre moral asiatique universel aux pratiques magnétiques exercées par sa maîtresse, présentées dans l’ouvrage La Vérité du magnétisme prouvée par des faits (1829). En analysant les comptes-rendus des guérisons magnétiques effectuées par d’Eldir, l’essai met en évidence la composition de sa clientèle, les pratiques qu’elle utilisait et les modifications que le sexe du guérisseur pouvait apporter aux relations entre magnétiseur et magnétisé.
La dénonciation du comité autrichien
Authors: Lemny Stefan 
Published: April 2023

Le soi-disant comité autrichien est l’un des thèmes de l’imaginaire des révolutionnaires habités par la peur des complots. L’historien américain Thomas E. Kaiser l’a bien étudié de ce point de vue en y voyant « le principal levier » utilisé par les Brissotins pour justifier la déclaration de guerre contre l’Autriche. Ce cas peut servir également d’exemple pour étudier un autre phénomène révolutionnaire sans lequel le comité autrichien n’aurait pas suscité tant de controverses à l’époque : la dénonciation.En effet, le comité autrichien est révélateur non pas seulement de la place qu’occupe la dénonciation dans la vie publique, telle qu’on la voit dans la presse, mais aussi de l’activité judiciaire, avant de s’imposer même sur la scène parlementaire, jusqu’aux affrontements politiques quelques mois avant la chute de la monarchie.
Atterrissage forcé pour les normes de genre
Authors: Ernst Jacques 
Published: April 2023

La décision rendue par la chambre sociale de la Cour de cassation le 23 novembre 2022 est importante à plusieurs égards. D’une part, en retenant que la « perception sociale de l'apparence physique des genres masculin et féminin » ne peut pas justifier une différence de règlement concernant la coiffure autorisée pour les personnels masculins et féminins d’Air France, les juges ouvrent la voie à l’élimination des injonctions professionnelles d’adopter une apparence physique correspondant aux normes de genre. D’autre part, cette décision donne à voir un droit français de la non-discrimination particulièrement effectif grâce à la mobilisation croisée de plusieurs critères et à l’intégration des stéréotypes de genre dans le raisonnement des juges.

Abstract

Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (CLR) is the rhizome of Curcuma longa L. Pharmacological studies show that CLR can be used to treat cervical cancer, lung cancer, lupus nephritis, and other conditions. In this paper, we review botany, traditional application, phytochemistry, pharmacological activity, and pharmacokinetics of CLR. The literature from 1981 to date was entirely collected from online databases, such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, China Academic Journals full-text database (CNKI), Wiley, Springer, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The data were also obtained from ancient books, theses and dissertations, and Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae. There are a total of 275 compounds that have been isolated from CLR, including phenolic compounds, volatile oils, and others. The therapeutic effect of turmeric has been expanded from breaking blood and activating qi in the traditional sense to antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidation, neuroprotection, antibacterial, hypolipidemic effects, and other benefits. However, the active ingredients and mechanisms of action related to relieving disease remain ill defined, which requires more in-depth research and verification at a clinical level.
Ginkgo Biloba Waste Resources and Waste Treatment Combined with Modern Progress and Development Model
Authors: Zhong Ying-Si 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Background:

Ginkgo biloba L. is listed in the Red List of Endangered Species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. G. biloba is an important medicinal plant in China and can be widely used in materials, gardens, and as a source of nutrients. With the large-scale planting of ginkgo plants, China, accounts for more than 70% of the world's total gingko output. Currently, G. biloba P. E. is the main extract under product development and application. However, G. biloba has been discarded as waste for a long time and has not been well developed and utilized. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 40,000 tons are discarded in China every year, which not only wastes resources but also pollutes the environment.

Objective:
This is an issue of great significance and adds value to scientific research. We aim to develop a key technology for resource recycling by combining G. biloba waste resources and waste treatment.

Methods:
Data were obtained by searching databases such as CNKI, and analyzing the herb application, modern application, main chemical components, utilization of waste parts, ways and modes combined with waste treatment, and safety of G. biloba. This systematic analysis can serve as a reference for the recycling of waste resources in other fields.

Conclusion:
The chemical constituents of the outer seed coat of G. biloba mainly include hydrophenols, phenolic acids, and biflavones, among which the phenolic acid of G. biloba can be used to extract glycolic acid, which can inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The domestic waste produced by tuberculosis (TB) patients contains a large number of bacilli, and the incidence of transmission can be reduced by using glycolic acid to inhibit the growth of TB bacilli in the waste.
Effect of Botulinum Toxin Injection on Pain Severity and Quality of Life among Patients with Postherpetic Neuralgia
Authors: Prasuna R. , Aeerabolli Ajay Reddy 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) results from reactivation of varicella-zoster virus. Pain increases sharply with advancing age and the elderly are more inclined to suffer. If herpes zoster is not treated early, patients may develop PHN. For some, it can persist for 1–2 years. Botulinum toxin injection (BTX-A) has been useful for patients suffering from PHN pain.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to study the effect of botulinum toxin on pain severity and quality of life in patients with PHN.

Methods:
A hospital record-based follow-up study was carried out among 30 PHN patients treated with hypodermic injection of BTX-A. Before injection, we measured Visual Analog Score (VAS) for pain severity and the Quality of Life (QOL) Scale using short form survey-36 (SF-36) score. BTX-A injections were given, and patients were followed every month for 6 months. During follow-up, VAS, QOL, pain frequency, and analgesic use were measured.

Results:
Majority were 60–69 years (40%). The proportion of males and females was not much different. Mean pain severity reduced significantly from 8.9 to 5.8 at 6 months. QOL improved significantly in 6 months. Pain frequency decreased significantly from 22.33 to 18.56 at 6 months. Mean analgesics use was 87.43 which reduced significantly to 7 at 2 weeks after BTX-A and then slowly increased to 7.66 at 4 weeks, to 8.23 at 12 weeks, and 10.4 at 24 weeks.

Conclusion:
Using BTX-A for treating PNH is promising and gives long-lasting results. It can be considered a valid approach in the treatment of PNH, especially in nonresponsive patients.

Authors: Das Arnab , Tiwari Kunal , Sharma Sanjay Kumar , Singh Shalendra , Patnaik Subhasish , Gaur Nimish 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Among the regional anesthesia techniques used for postoperative analgesia for lower abdominal surgeries, epidural analgesia (EA) has been the gold standard and time-tested technique, but complications and contraindications for the same warrant the need for other equally good analgesic techniques.

Aim:
The present study compared posterior transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block to EA for postoperative analgesic efficacy in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.

Methods:
Prospective, observational study in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries under general anesthesia. Patients received ultrasound-guided (USG) 20 ml 0.2% ropivacaine each side in TAP block (Group A, n = 50) or 10 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine was administered in epidural (Group B; n = 50) before extubation. The Visual analog scale (VAS) score, hemodynamic parameters, and ill effects were recorded.

Results:
The blood pressure was significantly lower in first 6 h of block in Group B. VAS score was significantly lower in Group A in first 6 h of surgery. It was observed that a significantly higher number of patients in the Group B required rescue analgesic and at higher dosages. Postoperative nausea and vomiting were found in 32% of Group B and 22% of Group A patients.

Conclusion:
TAP block has almost no complications, keeps the patient more hemodynamically stable, and offers a better early postoperative analgesia when compared to EA in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.

Published: April 2023

Background:
Health of the adolescents is an important determinant of adult health. Multiple factors may affect the adolescents' health.

Aim:
This exploratory cross-sectional study was to explore the effects of life stress, social support, and family hardiness on quality of life (QoL) in rural adolescents (15 to 19 years old) whose family had encountered adverse disaster events.

Methods:
Purposive sampling was used to recruit 350 adolescents met study criteria with 265 completing all questionnaires (response rate = 75.71%). Based on stress process model, we hypothesized that life stress and social support would directly and indirectly influence QoL, and family hardiness mediates the effects of life stress on QoL. Path analysis was employed to analyze the association among life stress, social support, family hardiness, and QoL.

Results:
The study showed that life stress, social support and family hardiness are significantly associated with adolescents' QoL: life stress (β = [FIGURE DASH] 0.30, P < 0.001), social support (β = 0.18, P = 0.010), and family hardiness (β = 0.21, P = 0.002). Life stress and social support had significant association with family hardiness: life stress (β = [FIGURE DASH]0.23, P = 0.001) and social support (β = 0.29, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
Life stress directly and indirectly influences QoL through family hardiness. Family hardiness can buffer the effects of life stress. Social support could improve the adolescents' QoL. To promote QoL, it is important for healthcare providers to attend rural adolescents' life stress, and provide psychosocial interventions to enhance family hardiness and social support.

Authors: Alviar Maria Jenelyn M. 
Published: April 2023

Objectives. The study aimed to determine the perceptions, attitudes, knowledge and practice of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) among Rehabilitation Medicine trainees and faculty. It aimed to compare trainees and faculty in terms of perceptions, attitudes, knowledge and practice. The study also intended to identify the barriers in the practice of EBM.
Methods. The study utilized a cross-sectional design. The study included residents or trainees and consultants at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine-Philippine General Hospital. A questionnaire exploring the perceptions, knowledge, attitudes and practice of EBM and the barriers in its practice was developed based on review of previous studies. Focus group discussions were conducted with the residents and consultants separately to probe the responses in the questionnaire.
Results. Thirty-four trainees and consultants participated in the study. Trainees considered themselves having received more training in literature search (p=0.005) and critical appraisal (p=0.01) than consultants. Majority had fairly accurate conceptions of EBM. Thirty-eight percent of participants considered themselves competent in developing a clinical question and in doing a literature search. About 18% considered themselves competent in appraising literature. There were no significant differences between trainees and consultants in terms of their perceived knowledge and skills in EBM techniques. Consultants and trainees expressed positive attitudes towards EBM. In a week, some 50% search the literature at least twice and appraised an article. Eighty percent of Rehabilitation Medicine physicians (physiatrists) spent at least 2 hours per week reading related literature. In terms of practice of EBM, the trainees rated themselves higher in searching and appraising literature than the consultants but the differences were not significant. More than 90% indicated interest in further training in EBM. Majority cited lack of time, lack of understanding of statistics and inadequate information sources as barriers to EBM.
Conclusion. Physiatrists have fairly accurate perceptions; positive attitudes; some knowledge / skills; and a high level of interest in EBM. There were no significant differences between consultants and trainees except in the aspect of training in literature search and appraisal. The lack of personal time, lack of understanding of statistical analyses and inadequate information sources were the most common perceived barriers in the practice of EBM in Physiatry.

Published: April 2023

Introduction and Aim: The ApoE gene polymorphisms are considered as risk factors for developing atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular disease (CVD) in humans. There exists no study pertaining to ApoE gene polymorphism and its association to these disorders among the Iraqi population. Hence in this study, we aimed to investigate the possible relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ApoE gene with the prevalence of diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease among the Iraqi population.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional investigation involved 76 patients (50 with diabetics and 26 with cardiovascular disease) and 73 otherwise healthy individuals. The ApoE gene fragment corresponding to the SNPs rs429358 and rs7412 was amplified using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a specific pair of primers. Genotyping was performed by direct sequencing.
Results: Differences in genotypic and allelic frequencies were seen in SNPs rs429358 and rs7412 of the ApoE gene. Significant higher frequency was seen for the CT genotype in SNP rs429358 when compared to healthy controls. Among the epsilon alleles, the E3/E3 was the most common genotype, accounting for 76% and 69.23% of patients with diabetes and CVD, respectively. E2/E4 was the least common genotype, accounting for 2% and 0% of diabetes and CVD patients, respectively. When DM patients were compared to controls, the genotype E 3 E 4 was found to be more common in T2DM patients (10%) than in controls (1.34%), with a significant difference (OR= 4.32, 95%CI=0.02-0.98, p= 0.050). At the allelic level, the E2 allele was significantly more common in patients than in controls (OR= 12.73, 95%CI= 1.38-116.87).
Conclusion: Data in this study indicate ApoE gene polymorphisms in SNPs rs429358 and rs7412 could be risk factors for T2DM and CVD in Iraqi patients.
