En quête de laboratoire : la place des doctorants en tension
Authors: Collectif RTTT  , Le Gagneur Marianne , Leite Julie Rodrigues , Sipan Océane 
Published: May 2022

Cet article s’intéresse à la place des doctorants au sein d’un laboratoire dans le moment paroxystique d’un emménagement offrant la possibilité nouvelle de partager des espaces de sociabilité avec des membres statutaires. Écrit par des doctorantes en sociologie, cet article mobilise des focus groups ainsi qu’une enquête par questionnaire menée auprès de personnes en thèse afin d’analyser leur vécu de la proximité nouvelle avec les titulaires. Face à la promesse de « faire laboratoire », les doctorants sont confrontés à des violences symboliques quotidiennes qui y font obstacle. L’article expose l’exclusion des doctorants par les titulaires à travers la réaffirmation de hiérarchies dans les moments de sociabilité et l’attribution des espaces. Si ces violences vécues semblent socialisatrices et permettent aux doctorants de comprendre les rouages de l’institution, elles entraînent toutefois des difficultés d’ordre psychologique et professionnel.

Si les notions de « race » et de « caste » renvoient à des réalités distinctes (histoire, contexte, représentation), le « racisme » et le « castéisme » partagent quant à eux des traits communs évidents (fondements, logiques et effets sociaux). La dynamique de « racialisation », déterminée par les luttes de pouvoir, le contrôle des ressources et l’idéologie, s’applique dans un cas comme dans l’autre.

La Malaisie est considérée comme un exemple de société multiethnique « pacifique » où l’État joue un rôle volontariste au travers de politiques préférentielles. Malgré des avancées en faveur du groupe majoritaire historiquement discriminé, l’efficacité de ces programmes est toutefois questionnée, notamment au vu de la progression des inégalités inter et intra-ethniques sur fond de libéralisation et de privatisation.
Complications as through presentation in pentazocine dependence among the healthcare personnel: A case series from consultation-liaison addiction psychiatry
Authors: Dhagudu Naveen Kumar , Attili Sathish 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Pentazocine is a synthetic, narcotic analgesic, indicated for various moderate-to-severe pain conditions. Its use and dependence on health care personnel pose unique challenges that make them difficult in seeking help. Complications due to parenteral pentazocine injection resulted in significant impairment for day-to-day functioning and contribute to disability. Hence, we present a case series on pentazocine dependence in health care personnel along with chronic nonhealing ulcers, myofibrosis, inflammatory compartmental syndromes like puffy hand syndrome and highlighting the integrative management of it.
The association between body image, self-esteem, and body mass index in patients with schizophrenia at a tertiary care unit: A case–control study
Authors: Pindikura Ranjit Kumar , Javangula Swetha Krishna , Kumar K. Uday 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

Background:
When compared to the general population, patients with schizophrenia are more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI). As a result, they are more likely to have low self-esteem, poor quality of life, and poor drug adherence.

Aims and Objectives:
The aims and objectives of the study are to compare the body image and self-esteem in patients on treatment for schizophrenia with healthy controls and study the association of BMI with body image and self-esteem in them.

Setting and Design:
This was a case–control study, comprising 50 patients with schizophrenia who attended the outpatient clinic of our tertiary health-care unit’s department of psychiatry and 50 healthy controls.

Materials and Methods:
Sociodemographic data were obtained, and BMI was computed. Body image was assessed using the Body Weight, Image, and Self-Esteem Evaluation Questionnaire (B-WISE), and global self-worth was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale for all participants.

Statistical Analysis:
Chi-square test/Fisher’s exact test was used to assess independent variables and their distribution across the study groups. Mann–Whitney U-test was used to compare the means of continuous variables across the study groups. Pearson and Spearman correlation tests were done to study the association between clinical variables. It was done using IBM SPSS 22 Program on the windows operating system.

Results:
The schizophrenia group differed from the control group in marital status (P = 0.012) and educational level (P = 0.001) calculated using the Chi-square test. They also differed significantly in terms of BMI (P < 0.001) and self-esteem (P < 0 .001) assessed using the Mann–Whitney U-test. There was no significant difference in B-WISE scores between the groups (P = 0.0451). Spearman correlation revealed a positive correlation between B-WISE scores and self-esteem scores, a negative correlation between BMI and self-esteem scores, and between BMI and B-WISE scores among the cases.

Conclusion:
Patients with schizophrenia had lower self-esteem and increased BMI compared to controls. Patients with a better body image had more self-esteem. Patients with greater BMI had poorer body image and lower self-esteem.

Background
Medical information regarding critically ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient course of disease and outcomes are fundamental to providing the best medical care and avoiding possible complications.

Objective
To evaluate the clinical characters, outcomes, and mortality risk factors in COVID-19 critically ill patients

Patients and methods
In our study, 31 adult ICU patients admitted to Sohag General Hospital and Health Insurance Hospital in Sohag Governorate were included from September 2020 to October 2020. Coronavirus was affirmed by an reverse transcriptase-PCR of a nasopharyngeal swab. Clinical information was separated from clinical sheets.

Results
The mean age of the patients was 60 years, 61.3% were males, 64.5% had comorbidities, which were more in improved than dead cases (P<0.04). The dead cases had a significantly longer symptom duration till ICU admission than the improved (P<0.0001). The improved cases had considerably higher oxygen saturation on admission than dead cases (P<0.02). Mechanical ventilation was indicated in eight out of 31 patients with a mean duration of 4±2.56 days and all of them died. Mortality rate was 41.9%. The dead cases needed a vasopressor therapy more than the improved (P<0.001). Acute respiratory distress syndrome was higher in the dead cases (P<0.003). Acute cardiac injury was higher in the dead cases (P<0.02).

Conclusion
Several predictors influence survival in COVID-19 critically ill patients including comorbidities, duration of symptoms till ICU admission, O2 saturation on admission, development of complication, and laboratory findings including ferritin, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, and thrombocytopenia on ICU admission.

Authors: Darwish Amr A. , Bakr Ramadan M. , Agha Mohammed A. , Abdelaal Gehan A. , El-Kalashy Mai M. 
Published: May 2022

Background
Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is a low-cost, noninvasive, practical, and rapid method for visualization of different respiratory disorders. Previous reports showed a high sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy (96.8%) of TUS in the diagnosis of different chest diseases.

Objective
The aims were to assess the diagnostic accuracy of chest ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of different chest diseases and to compare its accuracy with currently available imaging techniques.

Patients and methods
A prospective study was conducted on 213 patients. The patients were categorized according to their respiratory disorders into five groups (parenchymal, pleural, vascular, airway disease, and diaphragmatic dysfunctions). Chest radiography, computed tomography, and TUS were done for each group and were compared together. US chest examination was done using gray-scale (B-mode) or time-motion mode (M-mode).

Results
In patients with pneumonia, the sensitivity of US and radiography was 97.5 and 90.6%, respectively. In interstitial group patients, the sensitivity of US and radiography was 95.7 and 100%, respectively. In patients with lung mass, the sensitivity of US and radiography was 88.2 and 94.1%, respectively. In patients with cavitary lesion, the sensitivity of US and radiography was 100 and 87.5%, respectively. The sensitivity of US in detecting pleural effusion was 100% with accuracy of 100%. However, chest radiography showed 93.1% sensitivity and accuracy in detecting pleural effusion. The sensitivity and accuracy of both US and chest radiography in detecting vascular diseases were the same.

Conclusion
TUS is a useful tool in the diagnosis of different respiratory disorders especially in the diagnosis of pleural and diaphragmatic disorders. In addition, US offers a number of advantages of being easily performed by clinicians at the point of care, inexpensive, and avoiding exposure to radiation.
Patterns, triggers, and predictors of relapses among children with steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Nigeria
Authors: Ademola Anigilaje E. , Ibraheem Ishola 
Published: May 2022

Background
Childhood steroid-sensitive idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (SSINS) is plagued with relapses that contribute to its morbidity and the cost of treatment.

Patients and methods
This is a retrospective review of relapses among children with SSINS at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital from January 2016 to July 2020. Triggers related to relapse incidents were noted. χ
2 test was deployed for predictors (factors at the first clinical presentations that associate with subsequent relapses) of relapses. Predictors with P values of less than 0.05 were considered significant, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) and odd ratio (OR) were described.

Results
A total of 60 patients with SSINS, comprising 52 (86.7%) males, aged 23 months to 18 years, with a mean age of 7.04±4.16 years, were studied. A total of 38 (63.3%) participants had 126 relapses, including infrequent relapses in 30 (78.9%) and frequent relapses in eight (21.1%). The commonest triggers were acute upper respiratory tract infections (68, 53.9%) and urinary tract infections in 25 (19.8%) relapses. In four (3.2%) relapses, no trigger was identified. The time-to-first relapse ranged 14–365 days, with a median time of 60 days. The significant predictors were hypertension (OR=3.4, 95% CI; 1.04–11.09, P=0.038), urinary tract infections (OR=9.9, 95% CI; 1.16–80.71, P=0.014), malaria fever (OR=8.0, 95% CI; 2.45–26.38, P<0.001), microhematuria (OR=4.9, 95% CI; 11.58–15.16, P=0.004), elevated serum creatinine (OR=12.3, 95% CI; 1.48–101.20, P=0.005), and hypercholesterolemia (OR=4.1, 95% CI; 1.35–12.63, P=0.011).

Conclusion
Although the pathogenesis of relapses remains unknown, it is prudent to consider relapse-specific preventive strategies against triggers and predictors of relapses in our setting.
Serum interleukin-18 and immunoglobulin E in chronic spontaneous urticaria and their relation to severity of the disease
Authors: Abdel-Bary Ahmed , Elnily Dalia , Soror Osama , Youssef Marwa 
Published: May 2022

Background
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory cytokine that can induce either T helper 1 response or T helper 2 response. It may play an important role in either chronic inflammatory, autoimmune, or allergic diseases, but its role in chronic urticaria is still unclear. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays an essential role in type I hypersensitivity reaction.

Objective
To assess serum levels of IL-18 and IgE in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and their possible association with the clinical severity of the disease.

Patients and methods
A total of 30 patients with CSU were selected for this case–control study, in addition to 15 age-matched and sex-matched healthy individuals as controls. The severity of urticaria was assessed using urticaria activity score 7. Serum levels of IL-18 were measured using the ELISA technique. Serum IgE levels were measured using the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay technique.

Results
The mean serum level of IL-18 was significantly higher in patients with CSU (214.9±167.3 pg/ml) than in controls (115.6±121.1 pg/ml). Moreover, the mean serum level of IgE was significantly higher in patients with CSU (412.8±533.9 IU/ml) than in controls (74.67±55.73 IU/ml). A statistically significant correlation between clinical severity of urticaria and the serum level of either IL-18 or IgE was found.

Conclusion
IL-18 and IgE are involved in the pathogenesis of CSU and could be good and reliable markers for the evaluation of disease severity. Targeting IL-18 could be a novel treatment approach for patients with CSU.

Authors: Taha Alsayeda Alsayed Ahmad , Mohamed Nagat Sobhy , Alsayed Eman Tayae , Ahmed Amany Gamal AbdelAziz 
Published: May 2022

Background
Vitiligo is an acquired skin disorder that results from selective destruction of skin melanocytes. It is characterized clinically by the development of depigmented macules and patches. More than 150 genes have been identified to affect the pigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. Liver X receptor-α (LXR-α) expression is upregulated in the melanocytes of the perilesional skin as compared with the normal skin of vitiligo patients suggesting its possible contribution in vitiligo pathogenesis.

Objective
To study LXR-α gene polymorphism (rs2279238) in a sample of Egyptian vitiligo patients.

Patients and methods
This case–control study was conducted on 25 vitiligo patients aged from 12 to 50 years compared with 25 age- and sex-matched controls. LXR-α gene polymorphism (rs2279238) (C>T) detection was done by allelic discrimination using fluorogenic 5’ Nuclease assay.

Results
LXR-α gene polymorphism was significantly associated with vitiligo among Egyptian patients but is not correlated with either severity or activity of vitiligo.

Conclusion
LXR-α gene polymorphism may be associated with vitiligo as found in a sample of Egyptian patients.

Published: May 2022

Background:
Repeat laparoscopic liver resection has been used safely and effectively on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, few studies have been performed on repeat HCC surgery by a da Vinci robot. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of the patients with repeat HCC treated using a da Vinci robot or laparoscopic system at a single centre.

Methods:
All of the patients with repeat HCC treated using a da Vinci robotic or laparoscopic system between April 2017 and April 2020 were included in this retrospective study.

Results:
There were 24 patients with a mean age of 56 years who underwent da Vinci robotic or laparoscopic surgery for treatment of repeat HCC who were included in this study. The operations lasted 152 ± 25 min and 142 ± 34 min. The average intraoperative blood loss was 284 ± 89 ml and 251 ± 92 ml. The average hospitalisation stay lasted 9 ± 2 days and 9 ± 3 days. The rates at which surgeons switched to open surgery were 9% and 23%. No serious perioperative or post-operative complications were encountered.

Conclusion:
Da Vinci robots can provide a precise dissection of the tissue under a perfect view. It is a technically feasible procedure for less rates at which surgeons switched to open surgery on repeat HCC.

Authors: Abdul Aziz Abdul Rashid , Ramachandran Subashini 
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT
Statistics released by the National Anti-Drug Agency showed that drug addiction activities are still vigorous. Therefore, this study was done to look at the effectiveness of counselling intervention, specifically involving dual users’ addiction. The subject involved in this case study is a client who is a 30-year-old lady which involved in dual drug use (tobacco and methamphetamine). She is currently under rehabilitation program with Agensi Anti Dadah Kebangsaan (AADK) Daerah Kinta. Due to the addiction to smoking and substance, it has affected the client in committing responsibilities as mother to her child. Client also experiences emotional stress in view of her husband often forces her to take methamphetamine. Three individual counselling session are conducted. The counseling process has been handled using the Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) approaches. Findings from the intervention session showed that the frequency of smoking was reduced. While the findings on the use of methamphetamine show that the client is determined to quit in the third session, there is no case of relapse. Counseling intervention is effective in helping clients to fight with tobacco and drug addiction. Indirectly, it is also helpful in managing other issues involving mental health of the client.

Spectral-luminescent characteristics and the duration of fluorescence were measured for a series of
metal-free tetrapyrroles in solid films of polyvinylbutyral at 293 and 77 K. The results obtained evidence
about the lack of the viscosity factor in the case of the fluorescence enhancement under study, i.e. for the
tetrapyrroles showing the enhancement effect in liquid solutions (tetraazaporphin, substituted tetraazachlorin),
duration of fluorescence in a film increases insignificantly on lowering temperatures to 77 K. Analysis
of experimental data made it possible to estimate the quantum yields of internal conversion and intercombinational
conversion for tetraazaporphin and tetraazachlorin, which are fundamental structures in the
tetrapyrrole series.
Out of Place
Authors: Davids Nuraan 
Published: May 2022

Out of Placeoffers an in-depth exploration of Nuraan Davids’ experience as a Muslim ‘coloured’ woman, traversing a post-apartheid space. It centres on and explores a number of themes, which include her challenges not only as a South African citizen, and within her faith community, but as an academic citizen at a historically white university. The book is her story, an autoethnography, her reparation.
By embarking on an auto-ethnography, she not only tries to change the way her story has been told by others, transforms her ‘sense of what it means to live’ (Bhabha, 1994). She is driven by a postcolonial appeal, which insists that if she seeks to imprint her own way of life into the discourses which pervade the world around her, then she can no longer allow herself to be spoken on behalf of or to be subjugated into the hegemonies of others.
The main argument of
Out of Placeis that Muslim, ‘coloured’ women are subjected to layers of scrutiny and prejudices, which have yet to be confronted. What we know about Muslim ‘coloured’ women has been shaped by preconceived notions of ‘otherness’, and attached to a meta-narrative of ‘oppression and backwardness’. By centring and using her lived experiences, the author takes readers on a journey of what it is like to be seen in terms of race, gender and religion – not only within the public sphere of her professional identities, but within the private sphere of her faith community.
