Intégration nationale et transformation de l’identité. Considérations sur le constructivisme
Authors: Lazzeri Christian 
Published: January 2023

Cet article s’interroge sur les conditions d’intégration des immigrés dans les sociétés d’accueil du point de vue des injonctions de transformation de l’identité dont ils sont l’objet. Il ramène celles-ci à la conception de la construction de l’identité qui les sous-tend (« constructivisme faible ») et dont le noyau théorique repose sur les concepts de décision et de représentation censés commander les changements d’identité. Cette conception est l’objet d’une critique qui souligne, à l’inverse, l’importance des processus sociaux objectifs qui déterminent de telles transformations, ainsi soustraites au subjectivisme de l’action volontaire, souvent inséparable de verdicts concernant l’insuffisance de « l’effort » d’intégration des immigrés.
Approches critiques du racisme, perspectives franco-américaines
Authors: Doytcheva Milena 
Published: January 2023

Revenant sur la séquence étatsunienne qui a récemment conduit à une politisation intense de la Critical Race Theory (CRT), l’article propose de revisiter l’histoire relativement récente et les hypothèses fondatrices de ce corpus académique. Avant de tisser des liens avec la sociologie du racisme, telle qu’on la lit en France, sous la plume de Colette Guillaumin. L’article propose ainsi, d’une part, de contribuer aux enquêtes en cours sur les liens entre CRT et théorie politique féministe. Contre les thèses récurrentes d’une « américanisation » du débat, il propose, d’autre part, de démultiplier les ancrages épistémiques, théoriques et (géo)politiques des savoirs critiques sur le racisme, afin de réfléchir aux conditions de leur possible transnationalisation à une époque de renouveaux nationalistes, mais aussi d’émergence de luttes globales contre le racisme.
L’hospitalité peut-elle être cosmopolitique ? De Kant à Seyla Benhabib
Authors: Brugère Fabienne , Le Blanc Guillaume 
Published: January 2023

Confronter l’hospitalité à la question cosmopolitique suppose un déplacement qui fait quitter la question des relations interpersonnelles et du modèle domestique de l’hospitalité pour aborder des manières de se représenter le monde, de le concevoir comme un horizon jusqu’à la conception d’une citoyenneté mondiale. Cet article se propose d’opérer ce déplacement en questionnant, en compagnie de Kant et de Seyla Benhabib, les conditions d’une hospitalité politique sensible aux « droits des autres » et à leurs voix dans la construction d’un monde commun.
Circulation et usages de l’idée d’hégémonie. De Antonio Gramsci à Pablo Iglesias en passant par Ernesto Laclau et Chantal Mouffe
Authors: Cervera-Marzal Manuel 
Published: January 2023

L’idée d’hégémonie, dans son acception gramscienne, circule entre différents champs, différents espaces géoculturels et différentes époques. La démarche adoptée dans cet article part des contextes dans lequel cette idée est mobilisée, afin de montrer à quels enjeux théoriques et pratiques elle répond. En se focalisant sur quatre auteurs (Antonio Gramsci, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe et Pablo Iglesias) et sur les transferts d’un auteur à l’autre, il s’agit de mettre en exergue les conditions sociales propices au déploiement de cette idée et d’identifier les (dis)continuités qui marquent son histoire. À travers le parcours jalonné par les productions écrites de ces quatre auteurs, une constante apparaît : la vitalité de l’idée d’hégémonie semble liée à des périodes de crise – théorique et/ou stratégique – de la gauche.
Bleeding Complications in Relation to the International Normalized Ratio for Dental Extractions in Patients under Chronic Anticoagulant Therapy - An Evaluative Study
Authors: Puia Sebastian Ariel , Hilber Ezequiel Matias , Garcia-Blanco Matias 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Recent simple dental extraction protocols suggest that therapeutic levels of the anticoagulant drug should be maintained because bleeding complications could be managed with local haemostasis manoeuvres. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between bleeding complications and the international normalized ratio (INR) values in patients after dental extractions completed with a plug of bismuth subgallate, without interrupting anticoagulant administration.

Materials and Methods:
Patients undergoing oral Vitamin K antagonist chronic anticoagulant therapy requiring simple dental extractions were included in the study. INRs were recorded on the day of the surgery, and dental extractions were performed applying bismuth subgallate as a haemostatic agent. Patients took their anticoagulation drug normally. Bleeding complications were recorded.

Results:
The study included 694 patients, of whom 11 (1.58%) presented mediate post-operative bleeding that was effectively controlled through local manoeuvres. No episode of thromboembolism or infectious endocarditis was observed. The incidence of bleeding complications was not related to the INR values (P > 0.05).

Discussion:
INR values were not related to bleeding complications when simple dental extractions were performed applying bismuth subgallate as a haemostatic agent.
Use of the Temporalis Myofascial Flap in Internal Derangement of the Temporomandibular Joint - An Evaluative Study
Authors: Khanna Jatindernath N. , Ramaswami Radhika 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Internal derangement is an abnormal relationship between the articular disc and the mandibular condyle. The most common cause is trauma. Various classifications have been given for internal derangement. Initial management is done conservatively and if the disease is progressed, surgery is the option. Various surgical methods and interpositional materials following discectomy have been given in the literature.

Materials and Methods:
Over the past 15 years, we selected a group of 30 patients, Wilkes Class IV and V where conservative therapy had failed and were candidates for surgery. The patients had their disc repositioned, the damaged part of the disc was excised and disc was reinforced using the temporalis myofascial flap (TMF). In cases where the disc was non-salvageable, discectomy was done and TMF was placed between condyle and glenoid fossa, sutured with Prolene. The follow-up period was 3 years.

Results:
Of the 30 patients, there were 9 male and 21 female. Range of mouth opening was 3.3–3.8 cm with improvements in 1 year. The jaw relations gradually improved and were restored after 3 weeks. Patients were totally pain free in 6 months.

Discussion:
For the cases where surgery is the line of treatment, we strongly suggest disc repositioning and reinforcement with TMF as the flap is bulky, locally available and easy to harvest and causes no deformity at the donor site.

Authors: Shivhare Peeyush , Haidry Naqoosh , Kumar Ajay , Parihar Ajay , Singh Ankur , Subramanyam Shalini 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Leukoplakia is among the most common potentially malignant disorders encountered in clinical dental practice. The treatment of leukoplakia includes nonsurgical and surgical management. The surgical treatment includes excision, electrocauterisation, laser surgery or cryosurgery. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the efficacy of diode lasers in the management of leukoplakia.

Methods:
The sample consists of 56 cases with 77 leukoplakia sites treated with diode laser between January 2018 and December 2020 with a minimum of six months follow-up. For each patient, personal data was collected along with site of lesions, leukoplakia phase, type of treatment performed (laser ablation or laser excision), side effects, recurrences and malignant transformation. Inferential statistical analysis was then conducted.

Results:
After applying exclusion criteria, 56 cases with 77 leukoplakia sites were included in this study. Males aged >45 years were predominantly affected. Homogeneous leukoplakia (48.1%) was the most common phase. Recurrences were noted in 19.48% of the cases. Compared to laser excision, laser ablation had more recurrences. Gingival lesions showed a higher recurrence rate than other sites in the oral cavity. None of the cases showed malignant transformation.

Discussion:
Laser offers many advantages over other conventional methods including lesser postoperative pain and swelling, bloodless dry operating field and increased patient comfort and requires minimal local anaesthesia. The study concluded that diode laser is an effective surgical treatment modality for treating leukoplakia. Furthermore, the laser excision technique was found to be superior to laser ablation due to lesser recurrence.

Authors: Rodrigues Lizandra Gonzaga , Silva Virgínia Braga da , Carmelo Juliana de Carvalho , Khouri Micheline Salim , Mendes Polianne Alves , Manzi Flávio Ricardo 
Published: January 2023

Rationale:
Multiple Calcifying Hyperplastic Dental Follicle (MCHDF) is an extremely rare condition and is characterised by multiple impacted permanent teeth, with enlarged dental follicles, containing calcifications. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the ideal exam for the identification of this condition.

Patient Concerns:
The present study seeks to compare the behaviour of MCHDF in imaging exams of three clinical cases with their MCHDF imaging diagnoses, in which a change about tooth eruption was observed.

Diagnosis:
CBCT proved to be an important diagnostic tool for MCHDF, as it is able to identify these small calcifications, as well as measure the size of the follicle.
Treatment Outcomes and Take-

Away Lessons:
With a consistent imaging diagnosis, less invasive treatments become a viable option for this condition, since functional and aesthetic involvement is common in these patients, who often tend to be quite young.
Auriculotemporal Carcinoma - A Retrospective Case Series
Authors: Yetiser Sertac , Duman Haluk 
Published: January 2023

Rationale:
Eleven cases with auriculotemporal cancer were reviewed for prognostic analysis.

Patient Concerns:
Follow-up ranged from 1.2 to 12 years (median 5.01 years).
Diagnosis,

Treatment and Outcome:
Three patients with parotid gland carcinoma, out of those, two had chemoradiotherapy, died in the first 2 years of treatment. They were at stage T4 and tumour progressed with distant metastasis. Otorrhoea was the most common symptom in patients with primary temporal bone carcinoma. One patient with auricular carcinoma had a recurrence at the primary site 13 months after surgery. One patient with T1, two patients with T2 and one patient with T3 have completed a 5-year survival period. One patient with T1 and another one with T2 are still at a 2-year follow-up period with no recurrence.

Take-Away Lessons:
Complete resection is the treatment of choice. Post-operative radiotherapy is highly recommended. The most decisive prognostic indicator is the advanced stage. Early diagnosis has great importance.
Biphenotypic Sinonasal Sarcoma with Intracranial Extension – A Case Report with Review of Literature
Authors: Arora Nikhil , Kumar Pratik , Goel Ashiya 
Published: January 2023

Rationale:
Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma is a rare malignant tumour exclusively involving the sinonasal cavity. These tumours have variable and atypical presentations. Early approach and correct treatment modalities are key factors in the management of such cases.

Patient Concern:
A 48-year-old male patient presented with left-sided nasal obstruction and intermittent nasal bleeding for one year.

Diagnosis:
Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma confirmed on histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.

Treatment:
The patient underwent surgical excision with left lateral rhinotomy and bifrontal craniotomy with skull base repair. The patient also received postoperative radiotherapy.

Outcome
The patient is on regular follow-up with no similar complaints.

Take-Away Lesson:
Treating team should keep the diagnosis of biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma in mind while investigating a patient with nasal mass. Surgical management is the treatment of choice, due to its local aggressive nature and proximity to the brain and eyes. Postoperative radiotherapy is vital to prevent tumour recurrence.

Authors: Wadde Kavita Ramesh , Ghodke Monali N. , Chowdhar Asha S. , Nadkarni Shambhavi P. , Venkatakrishnan Lakshmi , Sarda Ashish 
Published: January 2023

Rationale:
Gorlin–Goltz syndrome (GGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder and is associated with multisystem involvement, multiple cysts, neoplasms and other developmental anomalies. The purpose of the study was to highlight the incidental findings of GGS and to lay emphasis on its early diagnosis.

Patient Concerns:
Two patients complaining of pain, swelling and at times pus discharge from the oral cavity were reported with a coincidental finding of odontogenic keratocysts and positive family history.

Diagnosis:
Upon thorough examination, a diagnosis of GGS was made.

Treatment:
The patients were managed by enucleation and chemical cauterisation using Carnoy’s solution and were maintained on follow-up semi-annually.

Outcomes:
Both patients showed no signs of recurrence post six months follow-up.

Lessons:
The role of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon is of utmost importance in the early diagnosis of this syndrome to render good quality of life to these patients.
Therapeutic Effects of Intralesional Bleomycin Sclerotherapy for Non-Invasive Management of Low Flow Vascular Malformations - A Prospective Clinical Study
Authors: Jan Iram , Shah Ajaz , Beigh Shahid Hassan 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Bleomycin, a cytotoxic and antitumour drug, is safe and effective in the management of vascular anomalies prevalent in the head and neck region. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of intralesional bleomycin injection in vascular malformations (VMs), especially venous and lymphatic malformations present extracranially on the face, lips and intraorally.

Subjects and Methods:
This prospective clinical study was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Government Dental College, Srinagar. The study included 30 patients with low-flow VMs (LFVMs) wherein the effectiveness of intralesional bleomycin sclerotherapy was evaluated. The recorded data was compiled and continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables were summarised as frequency and percentages.

Results:
Complete resolution (cure) was observed in 11 patients (36.66%), marked improvement in 17 patients (56.66%) and mild improvement in two patients (6.66%). Local complications were superficial ulcerations in 14 patients (46.66%) and hyperpigmentation in one patient (3.33%). Systemic complications in the form of flu like symptoms, nausea or vomiting were not reported in any of the above-mentioned patients. Signs of pulmonary fibrosis and/or hypertension were also not reported in any of the above cases.

Conclusion:
Intralesional bleomycin injection is a potent and safe therapeutic alternative for the treatment of haemangiomas and LFVMs. Such patients can be managed on an outpatient basis without the need of any extensive surgery, expensive armamentarium and with only minor complications.

Authors: Esien-Umo Emmanuel Okon , Obu Joseph Abebe , Chiaghanam Ndubuisi Ozoemena , Ugbem Theophilus Ipeh , Egbe Nneoyi Onen 
Published: January 2023

Purpose:
The application of radiotherapy to the treatment of cancer requires the knowledge of photon interaction coefficients such as mass attenuation (μm) and mass energy-absorption coefficients (μen/ρ). Although these coefficients have been determined for different tissues, it is lacking for the colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue in the literature. This study determines the μm and μen/ρ for the CRC tissue within the radiotherapy energy range.

Materials and Methods:
The CRC tissue from autopsy patients was freeze-dried, grounded into a fine powder, and made into pellets of 1 cm thickness. The elements detected in the CRC tissue using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry were used in XCOM to determine the theoretical values of μm and μen/ρ. The CRC tissue was again exposed to X-rays of energies of 6 and 15MV, respectively, to determine its experimental values of μm and μen/ρ.

Results:
Elements detected included carbon, oxygen and nitrogen making up 96.67%, high atomic number and trace elements making up the remaining 3.33% fraction of the CRC tissue.

Conclusion:
The theoretical and experimental μm and μen/ρ values showed a good agreement of about 2% difference between them. These values can be used to simulate the CRC tissue with respect to μm and μen/ρ.
In vivo Dosimetry for Dose Verification of Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy Using Gafchromic® EBT3 Film Dosimetry
Authors: Baba Misba Hamid , Singh Benoy Kumar , Wani Shaqul Qamar 
Published: January 2023

Background and Purpose:
Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) is an important skin-directed radiotherapeutic procedure done in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, namely, mycosis fungoides (MF). This procedure is usually done at larger source-to-surface distances with the patient standing on a rotatory platform. As the patient has to stand in different positions without any rigid immobilization devices, there are chances that the total skin may not get uniformly irradiated which could lead to nonuniform dose distributions. Therefore, all the necessary arrangements should be made to evaluate the dose for different regions of the skin using suitable in vivo dosimeters at the radiotherapy centers offering these treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the consistency between the delivered and planned doses in vivo during TSEBT using Gafchromic EBT3 film dosimetry.

Materials and Methods:
The surface dose for the six MF patients treated for TSEBT at our hospital from 2018 to 2022 was measured and evaluated. 2 cm × 2 cm Gafchromic® EBT3 films were used to measure skin dose at reference body positions of clinical interest. All the patients were treated with the modified Stanford technique. The irradiated film strips were analyzed for the dose using the IMRT OmniPro software. The doses at respective positions were expressed as mean dose ± standard deviation and the deviation was calculated as the percentage of the prescribed dose.

Results:
One hundred and fifty-four Gafchromic® EBT3 film strips irradiated on six TSEBT patients showed a maximum dose variation of 2.00 ± 0.14 Gy, in the central body regions. The dose variation in the peripheral areas such as hands and ears was larger. A variation of 2 ± 0.32 Gy was observed on the hands and ears. The uniformity of the dose delivered to maximum body parts was within −7% and +16% for the peripheral areas like hands. The American Association of Physicists in Medicine recommends a dose uniformity of 8% and 4% in the vertical and horizontal patient plane for direct incident beam; however, for oblique incidences like in the modified Stanford technique, the dose variation is about 15%.

Conclusion:

In vivo dosimetry using Gafchromic EBT3 film dosimetry for TSEBT yields objective data to find the under or overdose regions. That can be useful to provide quality treatment, especially when treatments tend to be as complex as TSEBT.
Quality Improvement Process with Incident Learning Program Helped Reducing Transcriptional Errors on Telecobalt Due to Mismatched Parameters in Different Generations
Authors: Krishnatry Rahul , Johnny Carlton , Tahmeed Tahseena , Scaria Libin , Sutar Vivek , Tambe Chandrashekhar , Upreti Ritu Raj , Kinhikar Rajesh Ashok , Agarwal Jai Prakash 
Published: January 2023

Purpose:
Higher frequency of transcriptional errors in the radiotherapy electronic charts for patients on telecobalt was noted. We describe the impact of the quality improvement (QI) initiative under the department's incident learning program (ILP).

Materials and Methods:
The multidisciplinary quality team under ILP was formed to identify the root cause and introduce methods to reduce (smart goal) the current transcription error rate of 40% to <5% over 12 months. A root cause analysis including a fishbone diagram, Pareto chart, and action prioritization matrix was done to identify key drivers and interventions. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Cycle strategy was undertaken. The primary outcome was percentage charts with transcriptional errors per month. The balancing measure was “new errors” due to interventions. All errors were identified and corrected before patient treatment.

Results:
The average baseline error rate was 44.14%. The two key drivers identified were education of the workforce involved and mechanical synchronization of various machine parameters. PDSA cycle 1 consisted of an education program and sensitization of the staff, post which the error rates dropped to 5.4% (t-test P = 0.03). Post-PDSA cycle 2 (synchronization of machine parameters), 1, 3, and 6 months and 1 year, the error rates were sustained to 5%, 4%, 3%, and 4% (t-test P > 0.05) with no new additional errors.

Conclusions:
With various generations of machines and technologies that are not synchronized, the proneness of transcription errors can be very high which can be identified and corrected with a typical QI process under ILP.
Study of Prevalence of Prehypertension and Hypertension Among Urban School-Going Children in Tripura
Authors: Debbarma Aghore , Mohanty Arpita , Reang Taranga 
Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Prehypertension is defined as an independent category of blood pressure (BP) by the seventh joint national committee on prevention, detection, evaluation, and treatments of BP. Systolic BP (SBP) between 120 and 139 mm Hg or diastolic BP between 80 and 89 mm Hg are considered to have prehypertension. BP ≥140/90 mm Hg is considered hypertension. It is to assess the prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension among urban school-going children.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1011 school-going children of both sexes within 12–17 years of age group and each participant was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Pretested predesigned questionnaire was used for data collection.

Results:
Prevalence of normotensive, prehypertensive, and hypertensive were 73.6%, 19.4%, and 7%, respectively, when both systolic and diastolic components have been taken into account.

Conclusion:
This study has showed that more than 19% prehypertensive and 7% hypertensive among the school-going children aged between 12 and 17 years when both systolic and diastolic components have been taken into account.
