Authors: Leborgne Mathilde , L’Horty Yannick , Vidal Sonia 
Published: February 2023

La première rencontre acteurs-chercheurs (RAC) sur les discriminations ethnoraciales et la politique de la ville s’est tenue à Hardelot, les 9 et 10 septembre 2021. Elle a réuni 25 participants, experts de haut niveau sur les questions de discriminations ethnoraciales et de politique de la ville. Nous proposons dans cet article une libre synthèse des débats qui ont animé cette rencontre, principalement centrée sur les liens entre recherche et actions, comment la recherche peut nourrir l’action et vice-versa. Ces débats ont permis aussi de questionner les liens entre la lutte contre les discriminations ( infra « LCD ») et les politiques de la ville.
Le rôle de l’Église noire aux États-Unis
Authors: Gates Henry Louis , Gautier Benoît 
Published: February 2023

Henry Louis Gates, professeur de littérature et intellectuel public américain, publie en français Black Church (Labor et Fides, janvier 2023), un livre qui reprend et approfondit le contenu d’un film documentaire consacré à cette institution centrale de l’expérience afro-américaine. Il nous explique comment le christianisme noir américain a été structuré par l’esclavage et la ségrégation, jusqu’à devenir une véritable contre-société permettant aux Afro-Américains de retrouver une forme de dignité dans un environnement qui les rabaissait constamment. Mais, alors que le racisme institutionnel recule, cette fonction d’« hôpital de campagne » pour des gens engagés dans la bataille pour la reconnaissance de leur humanité perd de sa pertinence. C’est justement à ce moment que l’Église noire aux États-Unis, considérée pour sa valeur culturelle et identitaire, fait l’objet d’études historiques de plus en plus nombreuses, mais aussi de critiques sérieuses de la part des croyants qui la quittent et des universitaires qui l’étudient.
La redevance, garantie d’indépendance ?
Authors: Eveno Patrick 
Published: February 2023

La suppression, à présent effective, de la contribution à l’audiovisuel public fait craindre pour l’indépendance du secteur. Mais restreindre le débat à ce seul enjeu comporte deux risques : occulter les imperfections de la redevance et oublier la mission de l’audiovisuel public.
Management of Big data: An empirical investigation of the Too-Much-of-a-Good-Thing effect in medium and large firms
Authors: Vitari Claudio , Raguseo Elisabetta , Pigni Federico 
Published: February 2023

Les entreprises adoptent des solutions pour gérer les données massives, mais un ensemble de preuves suggère que, dans certains cas, les données massives pourraient créer plus de problèmes que d’avantages. Nous avançons l’hypothèse que le problème n’est peut-être pas les données massives en elles-mêmes mais une trop grande quantité de données massives. Nous apportons une réponse à la question de recherche suivante : quand les données massives conduisent-elles à la destruction de valeur ? Ce type d’effets fait écho à l’effet des excès des bonnes choses («Too-Much-of-a-Good-Thing» - TMGT) décrit en gestion. Cette théorie semble également significative et applicable en systèmes d’information. Nous contribuons à l’évaluation de cet effet TMGT lié aux données massives. Nous avons collecté des données auprès d’un échantillon d’entreprises, et nous avons établi un ensemble de modèles de régression pour tester la relation entre les données massives et la création de valeur, en considérant la taille de l’entreprise comme un modérateur. Les données confirment l’existence d’une courbe en forme de U inversé et l’existence d’une modération liée à la taille de l’entreprise. Ces résultats élargissent l’applicabilité de la théorie de l’effet TMGT et peuvent être utiles aux entreprises qui envisagent d’investir dans les données massives.
Présence de la couleur dans L’Architecture d’aujourd’hui autour de 1950
Authors: Thibault Estelle 
Published: February 2023

Quels furent les usages de la couleur dans les périodiques architecturaux du milieu du XXe siècle ? La revue L’Architecture d’aujourd’hui constitue un bon terrain pour examiner cette question car elle fut, après 1945, un lieu de promotion de la polychromie et des collaborations associant architectes et plasticiens, français et étrangers, à un moment où les représentations architecturales en niveaux de gris prédominaient encore largement dans la littérature. L’article examine comment l’introduction des premières photographies couleur a été accompagnée, dans ce périodique, d’une évolution des stratégies graphiques et d’une diversité d’usages de la couleur. La revue installait l’image architecturale au sein d’un dispositif coloré, favorisant ainsi l’idée d’une architecture moderne comme environnement global.
Phospholipase Activity of Candida Species Isolated from Diabetic Patients
Authors: Amini Negar , Mohammadi Rasoul 
Published: February 2023

Background:
Candidiasis is one of the prevalent fungal infections caused by the genus Candida. The clinical manifestation ranges from mucocutaneous colonization to disseminated and fatal infections such as candidemia. Diabetes mellitus is one of the significant predisposing factors for this fungal infection. Candida spp. may release many exoenzymes such as phospholipase to debilitate the immune system and facilitate adherence and invasion of the fungus to the host cells. The aim of the present study is evaluation of phospholipase activity of Candida species isolated from candidemia and gastroesophageal candidiasis (GEC) among diabetic patients.

Materials and Methods:
Eighty-three Candida isolates were evaluated for enzyme activity by phenotypic (the precipitation zone around the colonies) and molecular methods (detection of phospholipase genes using duplex polymerase chain reaction with specific primers).

Results:
Eight out of eighty-three clinical isolates (9.6%) were negative for phospholipase production. All phospholipase producers among candidemia and GEC isolates were categorized in high production group.

Conclusions:
Our findings revealed no differences in phospholipase activity among isolates obtained from different body sites (blood, oesophagus and stomach); however, non-albicans Candida species had less phospholipase activity.

Authors: Pillai Gopal S , Gupta Akanksha , Xavier Tessy , Radhakrishnan Natasha , Menon Krishnakumar N , Rasheed Rehna , Ravindran Greeshma C 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
Our primary aim was to evaluate intraocular cytokines (IC) before and after dexamethasone in diabetic macular edema (DME). Our secondary aim was to study the early and late effects of single dexamethasone implant in DME.

Methods:
This before and after comparative study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology and Centre for Nanosciences at a quaternary referral center in Kerala, India, from September 2016 to September 2018. Patients underwent complete ophthalmological examination and cytokine analysis before and after dexamethasone implant. Levels of cytokines at baseline and repeat sample were studied.

Results:
Twenty-seven eyes (21 patients) were divided into two groups depending on time from baseline to second injection. Group 1 included patients with <3 months between the two samples – 12 (44.4%). Group 2 included patients with >3 months between the two samples –15 (55.6%). Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) improved significantly post-dexamethasone in group 1, but not in group 2. Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), IL-1β, interferon-gamma inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and IL-2 decreased post-injection in group 1. But cytokines increased post-dexamethasone in group 2, except IL-10. When compared to baseline, IL-6 reduced to half in group 1 (P-value 0.814) and it tripled in group 2 (P-value 0.009). The level of VEGF in the first and second samples was not different in either group.

Conclusion:
Our study suggests that dexamethasone acts more on IC than VEGF in DME. This is significant in the first 3 months with a rebound effect on IL-6 after 3 months. Our study also suggests that repeat injection of DEX in DME should be done at 3 months to prevent deterioration of visual acuity (VA) and worsening of CMT.

Published: February 2023

Purpose:
This study was performed to determine the demographic profile and clinical characteristics in patients with Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) reporting to a tertiary eye care center in India. It is a retrospective, single-center, observational study.

Methods:
The study included 280 patients (559 eyes) diagnosed with FECD presenting between January 2013 and December 2020. The data was collected from the electronic medical record system of the institute. Patient data included demographic features, clinical characteristics, investigations, and surgical interventions.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 62 years. Late-onset FECD (95.7%) was more common than early-onset FECD (4.3%). Male: female ratio for late-onset FECD and early-onset FECD was 1:1.65 and 3:1, respectively. More than one-third of the patients had associated systemic history. Preexisting ocular diseases were seen in 5.9% of eyes. Blurring of vision was seen in 383 eyes (68.5%), 13 eyes (2.1%) had glare, and 163 eyes (29.2%) were asymptomatic. A total of 113 surgical interventions were done in 108 eyes (including repeat transplants). Only cataract surgery was done in 40 (7.2%) eyes, whereas penetrating keratoplasty, Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty, and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty without or with cataract surgery (sequential or triple procedure) were done in 12 (2.1%), 47 (8.4%), and 14 (2.5%) eyes, respectively.

Conclusion:
Patients with FECD present mostly during the sixth decade. Posterior lamellar keratoplasty is the most common transplant procedure being performed on FECD patients.
Long-term outcomes of transcutaneous retrobulbar amphotericin B in COVID-19-associated mucormycosis
Authors: Rizvi Syed Wajahat A , Khan Shagil , Shahbaz Mohammad , Gounder M Srinivasan , Saif Mohd , Khalid Saifullah 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
To describe the long-term outcomes of transcutaneous retrobulbar amphotericin B (TRAMB) in COVID-19-associated mucormycosis.

Methods:
In total, 18 cases of COVID-19-associated mucormycosis were reviewed. In addition to the recommended treatment protocol, all patients were to be given 3.5 mg/ml/day of TRAMB for five days.

Results:
Of the 18 patients, 2 presented with stage 3a disease, 13 had stage 3c disease, and 3 patients had central nervous system (CNS) involvement (stage 4a and 4c). In addition to planned retrobulbar doses, five patients were given more while two patients received fewer injections (i.e., <5). At the last mean follow-up of 34.67 (±8.88) weeks, 11 patients were in radiological regression and 4 had stable disease while 2 patients had to undergo exenteration; one mortality was observed because of disease progression. Clinical regression in terms of visual and ptosis improvement was seen in seven and nine patients, respectively.

Conclusion:
Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is a serious condition which warrants an aggressive treatment strategy. In unprecedented situations witnessed recently, TRAMB turned out to be an effective and economical alternative. Though large randomized studies are needed to establish its efficacy, TRAMB still manages to halt progression and salvage the globe in significant number of patients, and hence its use should be encouraged on a case-to-case basis especially in developing countries with limited resources.

Authors: Kumari Namita , Jain Nishchint , Saboo Surbhi , Parthasarathy Rajsrinivas , Gupta Vipul , Mahajan Amita , Das Sima 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
To evaluate the efficacy of secondary and salvage intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) as a globe salvage treatment modality in advanced and refractory intraocular retinoblastoma.

Methods:
A retrospective chart review of advanced intraocular retinoblastoma (groups D and E International Classification of Retinoblastoma [ICRB] classification) patients refractory to intravenous chemotherapy (IVC) and undergoing IAC as the secondary and salvage treatment modality between December 2018 and June 2021 was carried out. All patients underwent the IAC procedure by super-selective ophthalmic artery catheterization and with triple-drug chemotherapeutic agents of melphalan, topotecan, and carboplatin. Data were collected about tumor regression, eye salvage, metastasis, and survival outcome at follow-up.

Results:
Out of 13 patients, 12 patients received secondary IAC after being primarily treated with IVC and focal therapies and one patient received rescue IAC after recurrence following primary IAC. Mean number of IAC cycles administered was 2. Overall, globe salvage rate was 53.84%, with a mean follow-up of 17.53 months (range 6–37 months), three patients had enucleation for residual tumor or tumor recurrence. One patient developed metastasis post enucleation and two patients who were lost to follow-up after enucleation advice for residual tumor developed orbital tumor extension and eventually died of metastasis.

Conclusion:
Secondary triple-drug IAC following failure of IVC, along with other adjunct treatment modalities might a be a cost-effective option for eye salvage in advanced intraocular retinoblastoma patients who refuse enucleation, with a globe salvage rate of 53.84%. It can also be an effective approach to improve treatment compliance and can help in addressing the barrier of treatment refusal when enucleation is advised.
Parental perception of facilitators and barriers to activity and participation in an integrated tele-rehabilitation model for children with cerebral visual impairment in South India – A virtual focus group discussion study
Authors: Philip Jannet , Hussaindeen Jameel Rizwana , Jacob Namita , Sethuraman Saranya , Swaminathan Meenakshi 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
This study utilized virtual focus group discussions to document the facilitators and barriers reported by the parents as part of the tele-rehabilitation service delivery model in India.

Methods:
This study included 17 participants who were enrolled into the Tele-rehabilitation program (16 mothers, 1 father) and the virtual focus group discussion (V-FGD) were conducted through a WhatsApp video call. Three V-FGDs were conducted involving two moderators and a note taker. The V-FGD, focused at extracting the perceptions of parents pertaining to facilitators, barriers and coping mechanisms to barriers related to the tele-rehabilitation model.

Results:
Thematic analysis resulted in four themes for barriers that included: family and support, time, parent and care taker, child and place of living related; facilitators reported included: continuous monitoring, accessibility to professional services, provision of resource materials and parental empowerment. Themes “family and support” and “child” were most reported by parents with children >3 years and ≤3 years respectively. Finally, the barriers and facilitators were aligned with the chapters and codes of International Classification of Functioning, children and youth version (ICF-CY) environment and personal factors.

Conclusion:
This V-FGD highlights the importance of parental-centred and structured Tele-rehabilitation among children with CVI in India. The outcome of this study opens avenues for creating effective intervention.

Authors: Shakya Rakesh , Ahluwalia Navjot Singh , Shah Chintan , Paul Pulak , Jain B K , Pandit Kushal , Gupta Ramesh KC , Ahlawat Reena , Choudhary Priyanka 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
To determine the level of awareness and knowledge about glaucoma surgery and post-surgery counseling amongst paramedical staff at a tertiary eye-care hospital.

Methods:
This observational cross-sectional study included a random sample of 94 hospital personnel: 37 general nurse midwives, 47 ophthalmic assistants, and 10 patient caretakers (PCTs). Participants were administered a questionnaire about glaucoma surgery and post-surgery counseling of patients.

Results:
The study included 41 (43.6%) females and 53 (56.4%) males. The mean age of the participants was 24.85 ± 4.54 years. All participants were aware of trabeculectomy surgery in glaucoma (100%). A total of 95.7% knew that surgery helps in controlling IOP, of whom 57 (60.6%) participants got information during their course of learning. Overall 53 (56.4%) believed that surgery is done when medication failure occurs, and 58 (61.7%) knew that surgery helps in preserving vision. A total of 63 (67.0%) participants knew to counsel patients to visit an ophthalmologist when called for and take the treatment as advised, whereas 74 (78.7%) correctly said to visit an ophthalmologist immediately if pain/diminution of vision/discharge occurs. Overall, PCTs were found to be having significantly better knowledge (P = 0.01) compared to others and they also reported ophthalmologists as the chief source of information.

Conclusion:
This study revealed that paramedical staff had an excellent awareness of trabeculectomy surgery. However, the knowledge and counseling parts of the questionnaire revealed less than satisfactory responses. So, there is a need to continuously educate paramedical staff members so that they can help in propagating information about the role of glaucoma surgery and the importance of proper follow-up.
Risk factors for secondary ocular hypertension in silicone oil-filled eyes following transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy – A prospective cohort study
Authors: Prathapan Manoj , Shyam Praveena , Pillai Gopal S 
Published: February 2023

Purpose:
Our aim was to determine the various risk factors for secondary ocular hypertension (OHT) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil (SO) injection.

Methods:
A prospective cohort study was performed on 46 eyes of 42 patients who underwent PPV with SO injection under a single surgeon between January 2020 and July 2021. Complete ophthalmological examination including gonioscopy and Goldmann applanation tonometry was performed preoperatively and on three postoperative visits, that is, day 7, day 30, and day 90. Axial length and lens thickness were measured at baseline using immersion A-scan. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used for measuring anterior chamber depth (ACD) at baseline and at 3 months.

Results:
There was a statistically significant increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) (>21 mmHg) on day 7 (4.70 ± 7.754 mmHg), day 30 (5.24 ± 7.481 mmHg), and day 90 (2.39 ± 5.659 mmHg) (P<0.01 for all). Age <50 years, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), and pseudophakia had a strong association with short-term OHT on day 7. Preexisting glaucoma was the only independent risk factor for long-term OHT (day 90). Higher baseline IOP and SO emulsification also contributed to long-term OHT.

Conclusion:
There was a statistically significant elevation in IOP at all postoperative visits. Short-term OHT was associated with younger age (<50 years), RRD, and pseudophakia. Patients with emulsified SO in the anterior chamber, higher baseline IOP, and preexisting glaucoma were at higher risk for long-term OHT.
