Authors: Chakkamadathil Jesin Kumar , Nair Sanjeev , Chetambath Ravindran 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Vitamin D deficiency has been declared a public health problem for both adults and children worldwide. Asthma and related allergic disorders are leading causes of morbidity in children. The objective of this study was to estimate Vitamin D levels in children suffering from asthma and allergic rhinitis in North Kerala.

Objectives:
(1) To evaluate Vitamin D levels among children between the age group 5 and 18 years suffering from asthma and/or allergic rhinitis. (2) To study the factors associated with low levels of Vitamin D and (3) to study the correlation between Vitamin D levels, immunoglobulin E (IgE), and absolute eosinophil count (AEC).

Materials and Methods:
This is a retrospective analysis of hospital data in which data of children between the age group 5 and 18 years attending the pulmonology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in North Kerala are captured. The study period was 6 months from March 01, 2021, to August 31, 2021. Detailed clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations including complete blood cell count, IgE, and 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (Vitamin D) level were done. Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis and asthma is made on the clinical presentation by an experienced pulmonologist. Family history of asthma or allergic rhinitis was also recorded. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel, and analysis was done using Epi Info 7. Means and standard deviation were calculated, and correlation was assessed between Vitamin D levels, IgE, AEC, and age of the children.

Results:
Thirty percent of children in the study group had Vitamin D deficiency, 56% had insufficient values, and 14% had normal values. Most of the children with low Vitamin D levels had raised values for IgE and AEC, but the association was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:
Most of the children in this part of the state presenting with respiratory allergy have low or insufficient levels of Vitamin D. This may be one of the reasons for poor control of symptoms and such children may require Vitamin D supplementation along with optimal treatment of respiratory allergy.

Introduction:
Lumbar stenosis is a common disorder, commonly occurring at L4-5, with up to 91% of patients having neural compression at this level. Degenerative spinal stenosis with or without instability requiring multilevel spine surgery is associated with large blood loss. Tranexamic acid (TXA), a synthetic antifibrinolytic drug, has been reported to reduce blood loss in orthopedic surgery, but there have been few reports of its use in spine surgery. The objectives of the study were to assess the efficacy of TXA in reducing perioperative blood loss and assess the complications associated with its administration and need for blood transfusion during posterior lumbar spine surgery for lumbar canal stenosis (LCS).

Methodology:
Between November 2018 and August 2020, 130 adult patients (age 18–70 years) with LCS undergoing posterior lumbar instrumented spinal fusions at our institution were divided into TXA and control groups. Outcomes assessed are intraoperative blood loss (IOBL) and postoperative blood loss (POBL), hematocrit, need for allogeneic blood transfusion, and complications such as deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and seizures postoperatively.

Results:
There was a statistically highly significant reduction in the mean IOBL, POBL, mean postoperative hemoglobin, and postoperative packed cell volume in the tranexamic group compared to the control group. There was no significant statistical difference in need for blood transfusion among the two groups. No complications were observed in either group associated with administration of TXA.

Conclusion:
Prophylactic use of low-dose TXA provides an effective and safe method for reduction of blood loss during and after LCS surgeries. Low-dose TXA does not significantly affect the duration of surgery or need for blood transfusion. Higher-level multicentric studies are required to evaluate the safety of TXA in multilevel lumbar spine surgeries.

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
This study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of percutaneous pulley release by our newly designed needle knife in terms of cure, relapse, and complication rates.

Materials and Methods:
Two hundred and fifty-seven patients were allocated into male and female groups between October 2014 and September 2021. We included patients >15 years of age with a trigger finger (TF) (types II–VI). The primary outcome was the absence of a TF and pain-free movement. In contrast, the secondary outcome included second-time surgery and the number of complications such as infection and admission for antibiotics.

Results:
One hundred patients were male, and 157 patients were female. Males and females had mean ages of 62.45 ± 11.76 and 61.50 ± 8.57 years, respectively. The operative time was significantly longer in males than in females (7.88 ± 6.02 vs. 6.52 ± 3.74 min in males and females, respectively, P = 0.027). However, the percentages of diabetes mellitus and gout were the same in both groups. For the percutaneous methods with our needle knife, remission of the trigger was achieved in all cases. In addition, seven patients received revision and three patients with complications. After needle surgery, topical and joint pain scores were improved in both groups (from 5.09 ± 1.31 to 0.80 ± 1.56).

Conclusion:
The percutaneous methods with our needle knife displayed effectiveness. The cure rate was high, and the relapse rate was low. Further large-scale clinical trials comparing percutaneous needle to open surgery for releasing the TF will be needed to confirm our results.

Wall Street au Cinéma, ou Comment les Films Américains Participent à la Représentation de la Finance
Authors: Fabre Alice 
Published: May 2023

Que nous dit l’industrie cinématographique américaine sur le rôle économique de Wall Street et la perception de la bourse dans le temps ? À travers un corpus conséquent de films américains du XXe et XXIe siècles, cet article illustre comment, en trois périodes distinctes, Hollywood a pu mettre en scène la finance et contribuer au mythe de Wall Street. Sujet mineur jusque dans les années 1980, ces années ont vu l’apparition de blockbusters financiers avec la montée en puissance de la financiarisation de l’économie. La crise des subprimes renouvelle le genre, questionnant la place de la bourse et l’éthique des traders.
Politique et Poétique des Films Hollywoodiens : l’Espace du Récit National
Authors: Vatanpour Sina 
Published: May 2023

Le cinéma hollywoodien a souvent été défini comme une « industrie du divertissement », un terme qui déduit un statu quo dans les relations avec la politique. Contrairement à l’affirmation, les films hollywoodiens sont très orientés politiquement avec des récits qui traversent la plupart des productions et promeuvent une perception particulière de la société américaine. Le code de production mis en place en 1930 et imposant l’autocensure a été un catalyseur majeur par rapport à la politique du cinéma à Hollywood.

L’analyse de la sidérante vidéo de la déclaration de candidature d’Éric Zemmour à l’élection présidentielle de 2022 – diffusée via sa chaîne YouTube puis relayée de manière virale sur les réseaux sociaux – explore les sources de la falsification du discours médiatique, leurs représentations sociales et leurs influences sur l’imaginaire. Il s’agit de comprendre les procédés d’écriture mis en œuvre pour détourner les faits historiques et contrefaire l’Histoire. Entre réalité et fiction, la communication politique cherche et expérimente de nouvelles stratégies. Mais comment la société numérique va-t-elle imposer la définition d’un cadre éthique partagé pour éviter de tels abus ?
The Poet as a Cultural Ambassador and Social Critic
Authors: Adekunle Idowu James 
Published: May 2023

Poetry is oral literature with aesthetic skills. It is a performative form of a cultural infusion of traditional and contemporary realities of the human world. Poetry in its true nature is political, economic, and sociological. Poetry is largely human. Previous studies have examined poetry as entertainment and poetic orature to neglect cultural significance and social criticism. Therefore, this study examines as poetry an embodiment of cultural identities and an element of social criticism. The anthology of Femi Abodunrin, entitled “It Would Take Time: Conversation with Living Ancestors” would be examined. This is in a bid to see how a poet serves as a cultural ambassador of his/her country and, at the same time, a social critic. Femi Abodunrin is a Nigerian-born poet. Schechner's Performance, Freudian, and Jungian psychoanalytic theories were used to analyze the selected collections. The selected poems are subjected to performance and literary analyses.
