Le coaching des cadres dirigeants en outplacement : un dispositif paradoxal
Authors: Léon Xavier , Moreau Fabien 
Published: November 2022

Le coaching en outplacement individuel s’adresse à des cadres et dirigeants en recherche d’emploi. Cette étude socioclinique montre dans quelle mesure l’employabilité des outplacés, qui dépend d’un contexte économique, social et organisationnel, est réduite à une psychologisation des rapports sociaux. Nous étudions comment les bénéficiaires de ce service marchand intériorisent la responsabilité de retrouver un emploi et, plus précisément, d’adhérer à la norme sociale d’un soi employable, désirable et compétitif. Leur implication requise est contrainte par les pratiques prescriptives et réflexives des consultants-coachs : changer de posture, faire le deuil du passé et gérer efficacement son temps et sa présentation de soi. Or, lorsque les contradictions vécues dans la perte d’emploi ne sont pas élaborées autrement que par un discours et des pratiques modélisés, l’accompagnement devient paradoxant.

Production d’hydrogène « turquoise » par pyrolyse du méthane
Authors: Fulcheri Laurent 
Published: November 2022

La production d’hydrogène « turquoise » suscite aujourd’hui un intérêt majeur. Cette voie est basée sur la pyrolyse du gaz naturel à haute température pour la coproduction d’hydrogène et de carbone solide. Le principal avantage de cette méthode provient de sa très faible empreinte carbone et d’une intensité énergétique largement inférieure à l’électrolyse de l’eau. Dans cet article, nous abordons les différentes méthodes de pyrolyse du méthane, avec un focus particulier sur la pyrolyse par plasma qui est la toute première (mais aussi la seule) méthode actuellement déployée à l’échelle industrielle. Elle permet la coproduction d’hydrogène et de noir de carbone à forte valeur ajoutée.
Ce que les mathématiciens font aux assurances : le conseil des mathématiciens de la Compagnie d’assurances générales sur la vie des hommes (1818-1823)
Authors: Ehrhardt Caroline 
Published: November 2022

En examinant le travail du conseil des mathématiciens formé au sein de la Compagnie d’assurances générales sur la vie des hommes à sa création en 1819, cet article aborde la dimension professionnelle que revêtent les applications des statistiques et des probabilités pour les questions d’assurance et de prévoyance. Ce domaine, que l’on appellera l’actuariat plus tard au xixe siècle, constitue un objet privilégié pour étudier la pratique des mathématiques comme technique nécessaire à la conduite d’activités économiques, mais aussi les dispositifs sur lesquels repose une telle pratique, les actions concrètes de travail intellectuel qu’elle induit, ou encore les interactions qu’elle suppose entre des acteurs « mathématiciens » et des acteurs appartenant au champ politique ou économique.
Anemia in pregnancy
Authors: Nwankwo Bilkisu , Joseph Sarah , Usman Nafisat Ohunene , Oyefabi Adegboyega Moses 
Published: November 2022

Background:
Despite concerted global efforts to reduce the burden of maternal anemia, it remains a major public health issue. Over 40% of pregnant women worldwide are anemic; low- and middle-income countries (especially those in sub-Saharan Africa) make a disproportionately higher contribution to the global burden. The condition can lead to undesirable outcomes for the mother and child. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of anemia in pregnancy among women attending antenatal clinics in Chikun LGA, Kaduna.

Methods:
This study was conducted among 145 women attending antenatal clinics in Chikun LGA. Data were collected using a pretested, semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. Hemoglobin (Hb) level was determined and anemia was defined using the World Health Organization-recommended cutoff of <11 g/dl. The results were presented in frequency tables. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.

Results:
Fifty-five (37.9%) of the respondents were between the ages of 25 and 29 years. The mean age of the respondents was 28.61 ± 5.5 years. The majority, 107 (73.8%), had a household size of 2–4. Only 16 (11.0%) respondents were aware of anemia. Pregnant women were identified by half (50.0%) of the respondents as being more at risk of anemia. Only a quarter (25.0%) of respondents had good knowledge of anemia. Over two-fifth (42.8%) of the respondents were anemic. There was a statistically significant relationship between household size and anemia in respondents.

Conclusion:
A large proportion of the respondents were anemic; this underscores the need to strengthen the nutritional counseling and routine hematinics given during the antenatal period. Social drivers should also be addressed in terms of favorable public policies.
Comparative study to evaluate efficacy of prolotherapy using 25% dextrose and local corticosteroid injection in tennis elbow – A prospective study
Authors: Gupta Govind K. , Rani Sudha , Shekhar Dibyendu , Sahoo Unmesh K. , Shekhar Shubhendu 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Tennis elbow is a common painful condition with a prevalence rate of 1–3%. The condition starts as a micro-tear in extensor carpi radialis brevis and its degeneration because of repetitive overload. Conservative measures are undertaken initially because symptoms in most patients improve with time and rest. Adjunctive treatment includes steroid injection, autologous plasma, exercise, and prolotherapy. Dextrose prolotherapy by virtue of its multi-modal mechanism of action has emerged as a cost-effective treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal and arthritic pain.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 260 patients were included in the study and divided in two groups for administration of steroids or dextrose prolotherapy. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Mayo Elbow Performance Scale (MEPS) scores were taken for patients at regular follow-up.

Results:
All patients showed improvement in VAS score and MEPS score following dextrose prolotherapy as well as patients injected with steroids.

Conclusion:
Both prolotherapy and steroid injection offer adequate pain relief and functional outcome, although prolotherapy has been shown to be superior and given long-lasting results compared to steroid injection in management of tennis elbow.

Authors: Shah Harsh Dilipkumar , Desai Bharat , Jadav Pranay , Shah Nitesh , Kadikar Rishi , Singh Asmita Jyoti 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal disease caused by consuming contaminated food and water. The burden may remain underreported due to several issues like the low capacity of epidemiological surveillance systems, laboratory testing facilities, and socioeconomic disparities in urban slums. The disease has very short incubation period resulted in quick clustering of cases.

Aim:
A thorough outbreak investigation was carried out with the objective of strengthening the surveillance activity, finding out the sources of infection, and recommending necessary actions to control the outbreak immediately.

Methods:
An unusual increase in cases of diarrhoea was reported in slum area of Kalol town during the first week of July 2021. The stool samples were taken and investigated for confirmation and declaration of the outbreak by the Rapid Response Team. Time, place, and person distribution were carried out to generate a hypothesis and provide an immediate public health response to contain the outbreak. This study was conducted during the emergency public health response, no ethical approval was sought before the survey.

Results:
The cholera outbreak was confirmed when three out of five stool samples were positive for the bacterium V. cholerae O1 biotype El Tor serotype Ogawa. The overall attack rate and case fatality rate were 3.6% and 1.1%, respectively. The leakages caused the mixing of drainage water with the drinking water supply, which could be the possible cause of outbreak.

Conclusion:
The early identification and management of the cases, source reduction, health education on water chlorination, and hand hygiene were initiated based on our recommendations, which controlled the present outbreak.

Authors: Datar Uma Vasant , Kamat Mamata , Khairnar Mahesh , Wadgave Umesh , Desai Karishma Madhusudhan 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Purpose:
Needlestick and sharps injury is an occupational hazard, and it presents with a constant risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens. Students are particularly at risk due to a lack of experience and handling skills. The present study was designed to assess the prevalence of needle stick injury and evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding its prevention and management among students of a medical campus.

Methods:
A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among healthcare students of the medical campus in Sangli, Maharashtra. Overall, the study included 942 participants belonging to medical, dental, and nursing faculties.

Results:
Overall, the prevalence rate of needlestick and sharps injury was found to be 25.2%. The prevalence was highest amongst nursing students. The students had adequate knowledge about blood-borne virus (BBV) transmission and prevention of needlestick injury. However, there was a substantial shortfall in post-exposure prophylaxis knowledge amongst the students. A deficit in translation between knowledge to practice was noted, particularly in the case of needlestick injury prevention and management.

Conclusion:
The present study found that one in four students experience needlestick injury; overall knowledge regarding prevention and management of needlestick injury was lesser than desired, and gaps in knowledge and practice were identified in the present study. This can be rectified by curricular reforms, periodic educational programs and stern reinforcement of guidelines. Instilling reporting centers and devising a standing operating procedure in the event of needlestick injury are the needs of the hour.

Authors: Alsaedi Jumanah A. , Alfadhly Abdulaziz F. 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic causes significant morbidities and mortalities. Lockdown is applied worldwide to counteract the spread of the disease. These circumstances limit diabetic patients from hospital visits and follow-ups.

Objectives:
To evaluate glycemic control for type 2 diabetic patients in the first visit after COVID-19 lockdown and to study the effect of COVID-19 lockdown on glycemic control.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Prince Mansour Military Hospital, Taif city, Western Saudi Arabia. It included type 2 diabetic patients of both genders aged over 20 years that were assigned to follow-up in the diabetic center. Data were collected from patients’ medical records using a simple random technique. It included patients` gender, age group, body mass index, and three glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) readings for each year (2018–2019) and one HbA1C reading upon the first visit after COVID-19 lockdown. HbA1c level was treated as a continuous variable.

Results:
The study included 420 diabetic patients. Females represented 51% of them, and more than a third (39.8%) were aged 60 years and over. The majority of them were either overweight (29.3%) or obese (61.2%). There was an increase in the overall level of HbA1c after curfew (8.72 ± 1.73) than before it (8.58 ± 1.72). However, the difference did not reach a statistically significant level, P = 0.056. Among females, the level of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was statistically and significantly higher after curfew than before it (8.71 ± 1.82 vs. 8.43 ± 1.71), P = 0.005. Also, among obese subjects, the level of hemoglobin A1c was statistically and significantly higher after curfew than before it (8.55 ± 1.74 vs. 8.34 ± 1.63), P = 0.034.

Conclusion:
There was a relative increase in the level of HbA1c after the lockdown during COVID-19, indicating poorer glycemic control; this impact was more obvious among female and obese type 2 diabetic patients.

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Tribes are the most vulnerable, particularly in healthcare. Health research in a population helps to understand the trends of various diseases and other social determinants causing them. Our study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of Tribal research in India from its status quo.

Materials and Methods:
Research articles on tribal health were retrieved from Scopus and analyzed using MS Office, VOS viewer, and Word Cloud generator from January 2000 to December 2020. The number of research publications published each year, the clustering pattern of contributing authors, the most popular journals, the leading publication, document type, domain research areas, and commonly used keywords were all considered in the study.

Results:
As a result of the search, 1249 research publications were found. According to our selection criteria, only 395 research papers were included in the analysis. Approximately 43 research publications were published in 2020, but only three articles were published in 2000. Almost 35.7% of articles were published in traditional medicine, and 15.7% and 14.7% of articles were published in nutrition and infectious diseases. Less than 1% of articles were published in Health Policy, and 1.5% were published in Health Systems.

Conclusions:
The study results showed that the research on tribes has now been improving in the following years. Research into tribal mental health and health care systems should be encouraged. Collaboration and funding may assist academic institutions in raising awareness of health issues in these populations.

Authors: Taravati Shirin , Farokhnia Mahsa 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Purpose:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of parents’ fears of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on pediatric dental visits.

Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, conducted from July 2020 to August 2020, 500 parents of children who had visited pediatric dental offices were randomly selected. Parents were given a questionnaire containing 33 questions, which included three parts: (1) demographic characteristics, (2) dental problems scale, and (3) fear of SARS-CoV-2 scale. Based on the collected responses, the relationships between demographic factors, children’s dental problems, and parents’ fear of SARS-CoV-2 were evaluated.

Results:
The most common reason for visiting a pediatric dentist during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak was tooth pain. Regarding parents’ fear, 62.6% (n = 313) had moderate fear, 74.2% (n = 371) had a history of delays in referring to the dentist, and 54.4% (n = 272) had a history of moderate-to-severe dental pain. The fear scores in mothers were significantly higher than in fathers (P < 0.001). Parents of children with more pain and dental problems had higher scores on the fear scale (P = 0.017), (P = 0.016).

Conclusion:
Most pediatric dental visits during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak were due to dental pain, and most parents had moderate-to-severe fear of their children being infected by SARS-CoV-2 through dental visits.
Family planning practices among women seeking induced abortion: An institution-based cross-sectional study from Eastern India
Authors: Mohapatra Vandana , Panda Nalinikanta , Misra Sujata 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
Unmet need for contraceptive use indicates the gap between women’s reproductive intentions and their contraceptive behavior. It is a direct contributor to the increased incidence of unwanted pregnancies leading to abortion. Abortions, particularly septic abortions constitute an important cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.

Objective:
This study was conducted to determine the pattern of family planning practices among women seeking an induced abortion. The study also aimed to assess the awareness and attitude towards contraceptive methods along with reasons for the nonuse of contraceptives in this study population.

Methods:
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted during October 2020 to October 2021. Data was collected using a preformed validated structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used to describe data. The Chi-square test was used to find the significance of differences between categorical variables.

Results:
A total of 256 pregnant women seeking induced abortion were recruited. Despite high knowledge (99.2%) and attitude (63.7%), a history of contraceptive use could be elicited in 43.8% of study subjects. The most common contraceptive methods used previously were oral contraceptive pills followed by the barrier method of contraception. A significant association was found between contraceptive use and age of the woman, urban or rural background, and marital status. Unplanned sex or infrequent sex was the most common reason for the nonuse of contraceptives followed by fear of side effects.

Conclusion:
Enhancement of knowledge of contraceptive users through adequate information by health care providers can be helpful. Consideration of socio-demographic characteristics of women and contraceptive barriers is indispensable in implementing family planning interventions.
A cross-sectional study to assess concerns and commitment for organ donation among students of arts, science and commerce streams in degree colleges in a metropolitan city
Authors: Kinge Amol , Bhate Kamaxi , Pagar Vikrant , Chavan Sushant 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
Organ donation has been one of the greatest advances of modern science that has resulted in many patients getting a renewed lease of life. Organs can be donated by a living person, after natural death, and many more organs can be donated after brain stem death (BSD) as “cadaver transplant” or “deceased donor transplant”. It is believed that youths are the leading decision-makers in families. So identifying their concerns regarding organ donation, creating awareness in them and changing their beliefs may increase the number of consents for organ donation in the long run.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective interventional study was done among 206 students of nine degree colleges (arts, science and commerce streams) using random sampling during the study duration of 18 months.

Results:
One hundred two (48.57%) participants were willing to donate their organs after their BSD, while after the session in post test, the number increased significantly to 163 (77.61%). And when this increase was compared within streams, it was found that there was no significant difference in knowledge of students of arts, science and commerce streams. (P > 0.05).

Conclusions:
Willingness to donate their own organs or that of the relative’s in case of brain stem death had increased significantly after session in the post test. And there was no significant difference found in the increase in knowledge when compared with all the three streams, religion, and gender, which indicates that the level of increase in knowledge amongst arts and commerce students is comparable to that of science students.
Determination of safe sites of intramuscular arm injections and its relevance to the community
Authors: Surraj S , Chandrupatla Mrudula , Kusneniwar G N 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT

Background and Introduction:
Intramuscular injections are usually given in the arm or the gluteal region. Needle insertions done through the intramuscular route in the arm are almost always administered at a point 1 – 2 cm above the insertion of the deltoid. However, this site is not such an ideal one as found by certain other workers. Hence, this study was done to establish a series of safe determinant points in and around the arm in the South Indian population of the state of Telangana.

Materials and Methods:
The five proven safe injection points were tested through needle insertions by observing sterile aseptic precautions in the arms of 370 subjects at the outpatient department of a national level medical research institute after obtaining their consent following the universal safety protocol.

Results:
The points I [1 to 2 cm above deltoid insertion], II [a point midway between the midpoint of arm and insertion of deltoid] and III [midpoint between anterior acromion and deltoid insertion] were found to be safe for administering intramuscular arm injections in this subset of the population.

Conclusion:
This explains the erratic course of the anterior branches of the axillary nerve in different geographical populations. Hence, needle insertion points for arm intramuscular injections need to be determined according to the region.
