Faire cas
Authors: Latour Marie-José 
Published: April 2023

À partir de la distinction pratique analytique et clinique analytique, comment situer ce que nous appelons « cas psychanalytique » ? Faire cas de ce qui ne tombe pas dans les cases conduit le psychanalyste à ce discernement spécifique pouvant amener à faire un pas au-delà du cas. La mise en forme du nouveau élaborée à partir d’une pratique singulière ne saurait avoir lieu sans la prise en compte de la dimension analysante en jeu dans une élaboration de savoir.

Background:
Retinal vascular occlusions are a common cause of visual impairment. Studies on retinal vascular occlusions in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have primarily been retrospective and on retinal vein occlusion (RVO) only. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the prevalence and pattern of retinal vascular occlusions and their systemic associations in SSA.

Materials and Methods:
This was a hospital-based, cross-sectional study involving all new patients presenting at the general ophthalmic and specialty retina clinics in four hospitals in Nigeria over a 1 year period. All the patients underwent a comprehensive eye examination. The demographic and clinical data of patients with retinal vascular occlusions were entered into an excel sheet and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 22.0. Statistical significance was indicated by P < 0.05.

Results:
A total of 8614 new patients were seen, and a diagnosis of retinal vascular occlusion was made in 90 eyes of 81 patients giving a disease prevalence of 0.9%. Eighty-one eyes of 72 (88.9%) patients had RVO, while 9 eyes of 9 (11.1%) patients had retinal artery occlusion (RAO). The mean age of patients with RVO and RAO was 59.5 years and 52.4 years, respectively. Increasing age, hypertension, and diabetes were the significant associations with retinal vascular occlusion with P < 0.0001.

Conclusion:
Retinal vascular occlusions are an increasing cause of retinal disease in SSA and tend to occur at an earlier age. They are associated with hypertension, diabetes, and increasing age. Further studies will, however, be required to establish the demographic and clinical profile of patients with RAO in the region.

Background:National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, India, had distributed Ayurveda immunity booster kit (AIBK) (prepared at own pharmacy and comprisingChyawanprasha –300 g,Vyadhi Kshamatva Kwatha– 300 g, andVyadhi Kshamatvacapsule – 30 g) for 15 days among the health-care workers, sanitation workers, and security and police staff engaged in the containment zones for prevention of COVID-19.Aim:The aim of present study was to explore the medication that may be effective in prevention of the COVID -19. Hence, this study was done to assess the compliance of these medicines and their effects in the prevention of COVID-19.Methods:One thousand seven hundred and fourteen frontline workers were provided with the AIBK for 15 days from April 24, 2020, to June 27, 2020. Data of frontline workers who had participated in AIBK and completed the treatment regimen with 2 weeks of follow-up after treatment with complete available data for safety, palatability, efficacy, and compliance were included in the study. Any adverse event needing hospitalization or medication, drug compliance and palatability, and appearance of the symptoms of COVID-19 or testing positive for COVID-19 were the outcome measures.Results:Out of 1714 participants, 1003 participants were found to be eligible for this analysis. The median age of these participants was 39 years (range, 19-70), and males accounted for 90.1% (904 of 1003). A total of 7.5% of participants (75 of 1003) reported having adverse events after taking the study treatment. None of the participants reported any serious adverse effects after the administration of the AIBK. The acceptability of the AIBK was as high as 97.4%. None of the participants reported positive for COVID-19 results or COVID-19 symptoms up to 2 weeks of follow-up after completion of the study treatment.Conclusion:The acceptability of AIBK is good and indicates its role in the prevention of COVID-19-like illness, hence further randomized control trials or cohort studies can be done to assess the mechanism of action and efficacy of AIBK as the preventive strategy in COVID-19.
Echocardiographic evaluation of right heart pressure changes in healthy newborns and its follow-up till 12 weeks of life
Authors: DAS AVISHIKTA , SARKAR UTTAM KUMAR , ISHORE KAUSHIK 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Right ventricular (RV) pressure undergoes a series of changes from foetal to neonatal period on both left and right heart. Pulmonary velocity acceleration time (PVAccT) measured by trans-thoracic echocardiography has been established as a reliable indicator of RV pressure measurement in neonates. This study aims to throw some light into the changes in the RV pressure by serial PVAccT measurements in the initial 12 weeks of life.

Materials and Methods:
A cross sectional study was carried out among term new-borns until 12 weeks of age and serial changes in the PVAccT values were recorded, reflecting the mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP), and the left ventricular internal diastolic diameter (LVIDD), left atrial diameter (LAD), right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), right ventricular free wall thickness (RVFWT).

Results:
There was gradual increase in the mean value of PVAccT with age from birth i.e., 1-3 days (70.08±18.62ms) to 3 months (86.23±17.31ms) (p=<0.05). Mean value of right ventricular outflow tract proximal diameter was also seen to have an increase from day 1-3 (0.92±0.19cm) to 3 months of age (1.09±0.01cm) (p= <0.001). There was an overall decrease in the mean value of the RVFWT from day 1-3 (0.37±.07 cm) to 3 months (0.27±0.07cm) of age after an increase at 1 month (p=<0.05). Statistically significant increase in mean LAD from 1.18±0.29cm to 1.40±0.35 cm and LVIDD from 1.54±0.31cm to1.96±0.27 was seen from birth to 3 months of age.

Conclusion:
Changes in PVAcct and RV pressure with time from birth to 3 months of age will aid in early diagnosis of persistent pulmonary artery hypertension of new-born (PPHN) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Oral Antispasticity Drugs and Non-Progressive Neurological Diseases: A Meta-Analysis on Safety and Efficacy
Authors: Alshahrani Abdulrahman M. 
Published: April 2023

Background:
Spasticity is a pathophysiological outcome of impaired muscle motor activity, primarily the muscle tone. Muscle tone problems are signs of several neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, spine damage, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. Antispasticity therapeutics belong to a class of treatments that restore motor function and muscle tone. There are several routes of therapeutic administration of antispastic medications; among them, the oral drug delivery system plays a significant role.

Objective:
The purpose of the study was to present a complete synthesis of the scientific evidence on the safety and efficacy of antispasticity medicines used orally for the management of nonprogressive neurological disorders.

Materials and Methods:
In order to carry out a comprehensive meta-analysis, the most pertinent scientific studies on the use of oral antispasticity medications to treat non-progressive neurological illnesses were identified. A search was conducted across a number of databases, including SciELO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and PubMed. MedCalc statistical software was used to perform a meta-analysis in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards for odds ratio across the studies, relative risk, and risk factor analysis.

Results:
In the present study, a total of 252 original records were retrieved from different predefined databases on oral antispasticity drugs and their association with non-progressive neurological disorders. After several screening steps, 12 studies were found to be eligible for meta-analysis. These studies represented different antispasticity therapeutics that were administered via the oral route. Based on the meta-analysis, oral antispasticity drugs were found to be moderately effective (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The findings of the meta-analysis showed that the interventions of tizanidine, diazepam, dantrolene, baclofen, and gabapentin were more effective in tackling spasticity than the control. Therefore, in the treatment of non-progressive neurological diseases, oral antispasticity medications are only modestly effective.

Background:
One of the imperative progressions within the pharmaceutical industry, especially drugs, is the expanded utilization of materials in order to enhance its dissolution, solubility and bioavailability. Planetary ball monomill approach can be the latest entrant to Green nanotechnology – being solvent-free, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable particle size reduction approach.

Objectives:
Salicylic acid nanopowder (SA-NP) was aimed to be prepared using planetary ball monomill by dry milling technique to enhance its solubility and bioavailability.

Methods:
Various milling parameters such as milling speed, milling time and number of balls was varied and their effect on dependent responses including size (nm) and polydispersity indices (PDI) were evaluated using a 3–Factorial-3–Level Box-Behnken statistical design. Particle size and PDI analysis was performed using light scattering technique.

Results:
The particle size of salicylic acid obtained by optimizing the dry milling parameters was Z-Average (d.nm): 776.3 nm and PDI: 0.600 up to Z-Average (d. nm): 205.0 nm and PDI: 0.383.

Conclusions:
Dry milling can be used for the preparation of nanopowders of drug candidates with poor water-solubility issues. Present day medications have nano-scaled active ingredients which are rapidly absorbed by the human body as compared to the conventional ones. Enlarged surface area increases the solubility of the drug, thereby improves its bioavailability.

Published: April 2023

Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with a major economic burden on persons, health care systems, and countries. Diabetes self-management education and support (DSME(S)) programs are highly effective method in the management of T2DM patients. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of the developed culturally-specific DSME(S) program regarding glycemic control, lipid profile, and body weight for Iraqi type 2 DM patients.

Methods:
A randomized controlled clinical trial design was used to assess the cost-effectiveness of the culturally-specific DSME(S) program from the perspective of health care providers. In the cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), cost per patient and clinical outcomes over 6 months were compared between the intervention and control group. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were expressed as cost per unit improvement in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein- cholesterol (HDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and body weight.

Results:
The effectiveness of most outcomes was better in the intervention group compared with the control group. The ICER per unit improvement in HbA1c, SBP, DBP, serum TC, and TG levels was <1 of the minimum CET compared with the control group, thus meeting the definition of being highly cost-effective.

Conclusion:
The currently developed DSME(S) was cost effective method to improve glycemic control, blood pressure, TC, and TG for T2DM patients in Iraq.
