Authors: Masson Julien , Darlington-Bernard Adeline , Vieux-Poule Sybile , Darlington Emily 
Published: March 2022

Introduction : La littératie en santé, définie par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé comme la motivation et la capacité des individus à accéder à l’information, à la comprendre et à l’utiliser de manière à promouvoir et à maintenir une bonne santé, constitue un enjeu de santé crucial. En effet, un faible niveau chez les individus peut être associé à des problèmes d’interprétation d’informations sur la santé, à des hospitalisations plus fréquentes, à l’utilisation incorrecte des médicaments, à un plus faible niveau de santé générale et à l’augmentation de la mortalité. But de l’étude : Si les définitions et le rôle majeur de la littératie en santé sur la santé des individus sont clairement établis et semblent faire consensus, il n’en est pas de même en ce qui concerne sa mesure. Il existe seulement une quinzaine d’outils pour les collégiens et aucun n’est en langue française. L’objet de cette recherche est donc de mettre au point un instrument de mesure à même d’appréhender le niveau de littératie en santé des collégiens français. Méthodologie et résultats : Après avoir effectué une traduction-rétrotraduction de l’échelle existante HLSAC ( Subjective Health Literacy Brief Instrument for School-aged Children ), nous avons soumis cette dernière à 385 collégiens âgés de 11 à 16 ans des départements de l’Ain et de la Loire (âge moyen : 12,8 ans). Nous avons ensuite effectué une analyse factorielle exploratoire, calculé la cohérence interne de notre outil, puis effectué une analyse factorielle confirmatoire, calculé des indices d’ajustement. Enfin, nous avons vérifié la validité concourante en calculant des corrélations avec un concept théoriquement lié qu’est le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle. Conclusions : Notre échelle semble présenter les qualités psychométriques suffisantes afin de pouvoir appréhender le niveau de littératie en santé chez les collégiens.
Perceptions de l’organisation et de la pratique des soins buccodentaires en milieu carcéral par les professionnels
Authors: Coz Philippine , Couatarmanach Antoine 
Published: March 2022

Introduction : Le rôle et la place des chirurgiens-dentistes en prison ont été très peu étudiés. Ces praticiens évoluent pourtant dans l’univers carcéral, très spécifique en raison d’une organisation marquée par la scission entre deux administrations, pénitentiaire et hospitalière. Les perceptions qu’ont les acteurs de chacune de ces administrations sur l’organisation actuelle des soins bucco-dentaires ainsi que les interactions entre ces professionnels aux cultures différentes constituent le champ d’analyse de cette étude. But de l’étude : L’objectif de ce travail est d’évaluer les perceptions d’acteurs issus de l’administration hospitalière et de l’administration pénitentiaire sur la pratique des soins bucco-dentaires en milieu carcéral. Il a été construit en analysant 18 entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés auprès de directeurs d’établissement pénitentiaire, de conseillers d’insertion et probation, de médecins coordinateurs et de chirurgiens-dentistes. Pour cela, trois catégories d’analyse ont été établies regroupant tout d’abord les éléments contextuels puis les cultures de chacune des professions et enfin les interactions actuelles et potentielles. Résultats : Cette étude identifie les chirurgiens-dentistes comme étant des acteurs spécifiques au sein des unités sanitaires. En effet, le rapport au corps, à l’image ainsi qu’à l’estime de soi, mais aussi un positionnement spécifique tant sur la question du secret médical que sur les besoins d’expertise du monde pénitentiaire rendent cet exercice particulier. Conclusion : Les chirurgiens-dentistes pourraient être identifiés comme des intermédiaires utiles dans la construction d’interactions entre l’administration pénitentiaire et l’administration hospitalière grâce à la spécificité de leur pratique relevant du soin, mais également de la restauration de l’image et de l’estime de soi, identifiée comme un facteur de réinsertion.

Published: March 2022

Introduction : La coadministration du vaccin bilié de Calmette et Guérin (BCG) et les doses de naissance de vaccin antipoliomyélitique oral (VPO zéro) et anti-hépatite B (DN du HepB) sont fortement recommandées. L’objectif était de déterminer les facteurs associés à cette coadministration dans le district sanitaire de Podor (Sénégal). Méthodes : Cette étude transversale était conduite auprès de 726 enfants âgés de 12 à 23 mois. Il s’agissait d’un sondage en grappes à deux degrés. Les données étaient récoltées en juin 2020. Un questionnaire électronique était développé à l’aide de l’application Open Data Kit Collect. La coadministration était modélisée en une dose, deux doses et trois doses. Une régression logistique ordinale était utilisée pour rechercher les facteurs susceptibles d’influencer la coadministration. Résultats : Sur les 726 enfants, 115 (16 %), 234 (32 %) et 377 (52 %) ont respectivement reçu une seule dose, deux et trois doses. Les facteurs associés à la coadministration étaient la reconnaissance par les mères ou gardiennes d’enfants que plusieurs vaccins peuvent être administrés simultanément (OR ajusté = 1,46 ; p-value = 0,017), la disponibilité d’une fiche de santé conservée à domicile (OR ajusté = 6,88 ; p-value = 0,006), l’hospitalisation du nouveau-né après la naissance (OR ajusté = 1,74 ; p-value = 0,002) et la réception de conseils lors des consultations postnatales (OR ajusté = 1,72 ; p-value = 0,01). Conclusion : La coadministration des doses de naissance est une pratique peu fréquente à Podor. La sensibilisation des mères, la formation et la supervision des prestataires de soins et la disponibilité et la bonne tenue des outils de gestion de l’information sanitaire seraient nécessaires.
« Running Riot » : la violence et les communautés punks au Royaume-Uni, 1975-1984
Authors: Carroll Andrew H. 
Published: March 2022

Fort de leur expérience au carnaval de Notting Hill en 1976, The Clash enregistre son premier single « White Riot » et contribue très tôt à établir l’obsession d’une communauté punk en plein essor pour la violence : dans le contexte des crises sociales et économiques de la fin des années 1970 et du début des années 1980, les troubles et attaques de rue sont monnaie courante. Cependant, l’agressivité véhiculée par le punk était plus qu’un simple constat de la banalité de la violence pendant cette période. Elle constituait une réponse au discours britannique d’après-guerre sur la jeunesse et à la hausse marquée des divorces. Les punks ont utilisé la violence pour réagir contre l’isolement culturel et pour trouver des formes d’autonomisation individuelle et masculine au sein d’une communauté culturelle encore marginale.

Qualitative Study on Perceptions of Female Graduates towards the Sector of Employment
Authors: De Silva Ariyabandhu O. K. 
Published: March 2022

Female graduates’ perception on private sector employment in Sri Lanka is vital to understand what they may seek in pursuing a career in the private sector upon graduation. The mismatch between having more women in higher education compared to men versus higher unemployment of females compared to males, raises the question: how do females perceive being employed in the private sector? This interpretive study thus aims to identify the determinants of the female graduates’ perception on sector of employment upon graduation. Five thematic areas were identified through the literature review to analyze the perceptions such as: salary expectation, career growth, work environment, reputation of the organization and family’s perception of the organization. Qualitative evidence gathered from the 15 semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted among female Management Faculty graduates from three state universities in Colombo, Sri Lanka suggests that potential for career growth, work environment and reputation of the company were important determinants in choosing a career in the private sector. Salary expectations and family’s perception of the organization were not strong determinants according to the study despite literature stating otherwise. This study also reveals that lecturers’ perceptions about the private sector vs. public sector employment, asymmetry of knowledge about private vs. public sectors, political influence in gaining a job in the public sector and peers’ perception about the sector of employment are factors that shape the career perception about the sector of employment for female graduates.

Published: March 2022

Objective:
To assess and compare the relationship between spousal communication, fertility preference, and other factors with contraceptive use among married couples in Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Methods:
This cross-sectional study was carried out in Ado- Ekiti Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Nigeria between the 12th of August 2017 and the 15th of February 2018. A pre-tested, semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 976 respondents by a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were analyzed (univariate, bivariate, and binary logistic regression analysis) using SPSS version 24.0. Factors that showed statistical significance (P<0.05) were included in a binary logistic regression to determine significant predictors of contraceptive use.

Results:
The proportion of respondents currently using contraceptives was 56.9%. The education status of the respondents revealed that those with primary education were more likely to use contraceptives than those without formal education [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 8.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.97-36.2, P<0.001]. Respondents with fair spousal communication were more likely to use contraceptive than those with poor communication (aOR 4.9, 95% CI 2.80-8.71, P<0.001). In addition, fertility preference of 4 or less children was found to be significantly associated with contraceptive use (aOR 3.0, 95% CI 1.67-5.50, P<0.001) compared to a preference of more than 4 children. Finally, the urban respondents were more likely to use contraceptives than those in the rural setting (aOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.16-2.41, P=0.047).

Conclusions:
Educational status, residential site, spousal communication, and fertility preference significantly influence the level of contraceptive use among married couples. Couples should endeavor to discuss more on issues bordering on their fertility preference and contraceptive issue. Government should formulate policies to improve the rural uptake of contraceptives using identified target interventions.

Authors: Djerrou Zouhir , Benyezzar-Kenana Houria , Maameri Zineb , Benhamza Louiza 
Published: March 2022

Objective:
To summarize medicinal plants used in the treatment of couple fertility disorders.

Methods:
An ethnopharmacological survey was conducted with 30 traditional healers from some localities of Skikda region in eastern Algeria. A standard questionnaire was used in the interview which focused mainly: the treated fertility disorders, the used medicinal plants species, parts used, and preparation methods. The relative frequency of citation and percentages of infertility troubles were calculated and analyzed.

Results:
The most important treated disorders in men were dysfunction of libido (44.22%), low sperm concentration and motility (25.33%), low semen volume (17.67%) and prostate disorders (5.66%). Women were treated mainly for menstruation disorders (35.32%), breast problems (29.53%) and sexual asthenia (25.82%). The survey identified 28 plant species belonging to 15 families, used by different ethnic groups, particularly women (58.00%), to address different fertility disorders. Three plant families were largely used viz Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, and Apiaceae. In term of relative frequency citation, ten dominated plant species were: Zingiber officinalis L. (0.96), Nigella sativa L. (0.83), Lepidium sativum L. (0.80), Capsicum annuum L. (0.60), Cuminum cyminum L. (0.56), Origanum vulgare L. (0.55), Allium sativum L. (0.50), Petroselinum sativum L. (0.43), Salvia officinalis L. (0.42), and Foeniculum vulgare L. (0.40). A number of investigated plants were scientifically confirmed by phytochemical and pharmacological studies to have one or more significant effects on couple fertility. However, much controversy was found in literature concerning the efficacy of some cited plants.

Conclusions:
The study highlights the important use of medicinal plants in management of couple infertility in eastern Algeria. More experimental studies are recommended to confirm or to refute these traditional uses and to ascertain the safety of these medicinal plants to consumers.

Published: March 2022

Background & objectives:
To eliminate tuberculosis (TB), the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) has given an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment of TB in children. This study was carried out to assess the prevailing practices to identify TB in severely malnourished children admitted to various nutrition rehabilitation centres (NRCs).

Methods:
A retrospective chart review of 41 NRCs across five States having a maximum number of NRCs was carried out. Details of children admitted to the NRCs and the investigations carried out in the form of obtaining X-ray film, tuberculin skin test (TST) and gastric aspirate for cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) for diagnosis of TB over three months were collected.

Results:
A total of 2121 children with severe acute malnourished (SAM) across 41 NRCs (Bhopal, Jodhpur, Patna, Kolkata, Lucknow and Ratlam) were evaluated. X-ray of the chest was done in 473 (22%), TST was done in 135 (6%) and gastric aspirate was collected in 56 (3%) children. CBNAAT was done in only 56 SAM children. Ten children among those screened were confirmed to have pulmonary TB and were linked to treatment as per the National TB guidelines.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Although NTEP suggests universal screening of all malnourished children admitted in the NRCs, but the prevailing practices indicate that the NRCs are grossly under-utilizing molecular diagnostic tests for diagnosis of TB. There is a gap between prevailing practices and suggested guidelines for the identification of TB in children admitted in the NRCs.
Electroencephalography-based cortical sources of working memory in the subjects with opioid addiction: A pilot study
Authors: Sadananda Sankeerth , Dastidar Shaon Ghosh , Chitturi Vinay , Singh Balhara Yatan Pal , Sharma Ratna , Kaur Simran 
Published: March 2022

Background & objectives:
Working memory impairments in the subjects of opioid addiction may stem from an aberrant cortical activity in the executive areas, and may help in early identification of individuals with addictive tendencies and may also be used as a neurofeedback mechanism in adjunct to the existing therapeutics.

Methods:
Electrical neuroimaging via 128-channel electroencephalography (EEG) recording was done in 15 male subjects with opioid addiction (29.45±5.6 yr) during the performance of Sternberg Working Memory Task. EEG data were acquired and analyzed for cortical sources during task as compared to resting (baseline) condition.

Results:
Working memory deficits were manifested as decrease in accuracy percentage in the subjects with opioid addiction, while no significant difference was seen in reaction time, on comparison with laboratory-acquired matched controls. Standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA)-based EEG source analysis revealed higher cortical activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, inferior, middle and superior temporal gyri, inferior frontal gyrus, superior parietal lobule, inferior parietal lobule and precuneus, whereas significant lower activity was seen in superior and middle frontal gyri, parietal lobule, cingulate cortex and pre- and postcentral gyri when the task was compared to baseline in the subjects with opioid addiction. Further, a negative correlation was seen between the accuracy of task performance and activation ratio for the significant gyri in the subjects with opioid addiction.

Interpretation & conclusions:
EEG cortical sources revealed the failure of deactivation of default-mode network (DMN) during the task amongst the subjects with opioid addiction. In addition, there was a decrease in the executive function areas in the subjects with opioid addiction. This lack of sufficiently active executive network and persistence of DMN during the task (as compared to baseline) may potentially form the basis of functional impairments in the subjects with opioid addiction.
Utility of reticulocyte indices in the diagnosis of pancytopenia
Authors: Das Jonali , Khonglah Yookarin , Tiewsoh Iadarilang , Chowdhury Zachariah , Barman Himesh 
Published: March 2022

Introduction:
Pancytopenia is a hematological condition in which there is a reduction in all three cell lines of blood. This study aims to evaluate the utility of reticulocyte indices such as reticulocyte % (retic %), immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), and mean reticulocyte volume (MRV) in identifying the cause of pancytopenia.

Materials and Methods:
Reticulocyte indices were measured by an automated coulter. These values were then correlated with relevant biochemical and bone marrow results and cases were stratified into different etiological groups. Receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis was performed and various cut-off values were derived based on the reticulocyte indices. ROC was repeated to further classify cut-off values at every level to help formulate a diagnostic algorithm.

Results:
A total of 154 cases of pancytopenia were obtained. Ages ranged from 7 months to 87 years with a mean of 42, the male:female ratio was 1.08:1. The majority of the cases were megaloblastic anemias in which the cut-off values for retic % was <0.91 with a sensitivity of 78.1% and specificity of 70%, IRF was 0.45 with a sensitivity of 76.7% and specificity of 64%, and MRV was >121.8 fl with a sensitivity of 83.6% and specificity of 80%. The values on ROC could segregate nutritional from nonnutritional causes. The IRF and MRV also helped to differentiate megaloblastic anemia from dual deficiency anemia.

Conclusion:
Reticulocyte indices help identify the cause of pancytopenia. They can segregate nutritional anemia from other causes of pancytopenia allowing presumptive treatment to be initiated and may obviate invasive procedures such as bone marrow examination.
Comparative effectiveness of oral dexamethasone vs. oral prednisolone for acute exacerbation of asthma: A randomized control trial
Authors: Banoth Bhaskar , Verma Anjali , Bhalla Kapil , Khanna Alok , Holla Saraswathi , Yadav Swati 
Published: March 2022

Background:
Acute exacerbation of asthma is a common condition leading to emergency visits. Prednisolone is a commonly prescribed drug in the standard management of acute exacerbation of asthma along with other drugs. This study was planned to see the efficacy of oral dexamethasone when compared with oral prednisolone in the management of acute exacerbation of asthma.

Methods:
A single-center pilot study in the form of randomized control trial was done by recruiting children aged 2–14 years diagnosed with acute asthma exacerbation with mild to moderate severity. A total of 88 patients received oral dexamethasone (0.3 mg/kg) in two doses 24 h apart, which was compared with 87 patients who received oral prednisolone (1 mg/kg) in two divided doses 12 h apart for 5 days. The patients were assessed at the time of admission (zero hour), at 4th hour, and on the 5th day by various parameters such as respiratory rate, use of accessory muscles, Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), 6-h admission stay, and rate of hospital admission.

Results:
Baseline demographic profile, clinical characteristics, comorbidities, indoor pollution, and use of Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) among the two study groups were comparable. Six-hour emergency stay and rate of admission were significantly lower in the dexamethasone group (P < 0.05). Improvement in PRAM score, PEFR, use of accessory muscles, and respiratory rate was also better in dexamethasone group at the 4th hour and 5th day (P < 0.05). In addition, oral dexamethasone was shown to have less incidence of vomiting/gastritis than prednisolone (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Oral dexamethasone can be considered a reliable and better option as compared with prednisolone due to its faster action and minimal side effects.
