description: We investigated efficacy and safety of adalimumab (ADA) treatment for exacerbation or recurrence of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) patients. Medical records of 70 VKH patients who received ADA treatment for more than 6 months were retrospectively investigated. The mean age of VKH patients was 54.8 ± 15.1 years, and male/female ratio was 34/36, and sunset glow fundus was observed in 71.4%. Subfoveal choroidal thickness, indocyanine green angiography scores, and corticosteroid and cyclosporine doses were significantly reduced by ADA treatment for 6 months compared to baseline, while LogMAR and flare counts were also improved without being statistically significant. Adverse events were observed in 17.1%, in which tuberculosis was at 7.14% and psoriasis was at 2.86%; however, ADA treatment was continued in 91.4%. ADA was shown to be effective to achieve remission of VKH disease refractory to conventional treatments and was generally well tolerated with few serious adverse events.

description: Abstract

This study focuses on the development and characterization of an adhesive nano-membrane loaded with quercetin for the repair of oral mucosa. Quercetin, a natural flavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound healing properties, has been incorporated into a nano-membrane matrix to enhance its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. The nano-membrane's adhesive properties enable direct application to the oral mucosa, providing sustained release of quercetin at the site of injury or inflammation. Quercetin has a low bioavailability, weak solubility, poor permeability and instability; it has limited utility in pharmaceuticals tremendous efforts have been undertaken to overcome the issue of it’s a restricted scope in drug delivery systems. Through comprehensive physicochemical and biological evaluations, including morphology analysis, drug release kinetics, cyto compatibility, and in vitro wound healing assays, the effectiveness of the quercetin-loaded nano-membrane in promoting oral mucosa repair is investigated. For improving oral mucosa restoration, the quercetin-loaded adhesive nano-membrane holds great potential. It is a good therapeutic option because of its ability to hasten tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation, aid in wound healing, and have antibacterial properties. Even though additional research and clinical trials are necessary to establish its effectiveness and safety in human subjects, the preliminary findings are encouraging and point to the possibility that this nano-membrane could enhance patient outcomes and oral healthcare. This innovative approach holds promise for the development of advanced therapeutic strategies for various oral mucosal disorders, offering targeted delivery and enhanced therapeutic outcomes.

description: Adalimumab has demonstrated efficacy in non-infectious uveitis. With the introduction of biosimilar agents such as Amgevita, we aimed to quantify efficacy and tolerability compared to Humira in a multi-centre UK cohort Patients identified from tertiary uveitis clinics in 3 centres, after institution-mandated switching was implemented. Data collected for 102 patients, aged 2–75 years, with 185 active eyes. Following switch, rates of uveitis flare were not significantly different (13 events before, 21 after, p = .132). Rates of elevated intraocular pressure were decreased (32 before, 25 afterwards, p = .006) and dosing of oral and intra-ocular steroids was stable. Twenty-four patients (24%) requested to return to Humira, commonly due to pain from injection or technical difficulty with the device. Amgevita is safe and effective for inflammatory uveitis with non-inferiority to Humira. Significant numbers of patients requested to switch back due to side effects including injection site reactions.

description: To investigate the changes in quality-of-life (QoL) metrics at a 24-month interval in non-acute VKHD patients and their association with inflammation, treatment, and visual function. SF-36 and VFQ-25 questionnaires were administered at two 24-month-apart moments to 22 non-acute VKHD patients followed for ≥12 months since acute disease onset. “Improvement,” “unchanged,” or “worsening” in questionnaires scores (difference >5-point) between M1 and M2 and their associations were sought. Absence of systemic treatment or optic disc hyperfluorescence was associated with improved general health (SF-36). Improvement in binocular contrast sensitivity resulted in better ocular pain score; absence of anterior uveitis relapse, stable fundus findings, no use of cyclosporine or no intravitreal injections resulted in unchanged/better dependency score; no intravitreal injections resulted in unchanged/better mental health score (VFQ-25). Stability/improvement in QoL scores was associated with controlled inflammation, better visual function, and no need for treatment. Subclinical inflammatory signs did not impact QoL scores.

Disrupting Eating Spaces in Isak Dinesen’s Babette’s Feast
Creators: name: Υiannopoulou, Effie
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: Food; Eating; Protestant Spirituality; New Materialism; Space

description: Up until recently, the bilingual tales of Danish author Isak Dinesen have been critically appreciated and discussed mostly in relation to their narrative complexity and dramatic theatricality. Focusing on her well-known story “Babette’s Feast”, this essay draws on Jacques Derrida’s understanding of supplementarity, on feminist insights into embodiment and recent new materialist theories to address, instead, the place of enfleshed materiality in her revisionist articulations of gender and community. It calls attention to how food, as live matter, impacts through the organic process of eating, the subject’s movement in and perception of physical, social and gender spaces, contributing thus to recent scholarly engagement with the significance of corporeality and material agency for her fictions’ sexual and cultural politics. Implicit in her re-assertion of the material, as it is argued, is Dinesen’s sharp critique of the Protestant valorisation of spirit over matter and the masculinist assumptions built into this spatial configuration.

description: To investigate whether polymorphisms of GAS6 and PROS1, which each encode protein ligands for a family of tyrosine kinase receptors, are associated with Behçet’s disease (BD) in a Japanese population. We recruited 734 Japanese patients with BD and 1789 Japanese healthy controls. In all participants, we genotyped two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reportedly associated with BD: rs9577873 in GAS6 and rs4857037 in PROS1. We found that GAS6 rs9577873 was not significantly associated with BD. In contrast, PROS1 rs4857037, specifically the A allele, was associated with increased risk for BD. The A allele was also significantly associated with BD under additive and recessive genetic models. Expression analysis revealed that this allele was significantly associated with increased PROS1 expression. Our findings suggest that increased PROS1 expression related to the A risk allele of rs4857037 affects tyrosine kinase receptor signaling, contributing to the development of BD.

description: The enduring civil war in Syria, the fragile security situation in the Sahel and the armed conflict in Ukraine’s Donbass region demonstrate that the European Union (EU) is currently confronted with complex security challenges. To provide an adequate response to these challenges, the EU seeks to implement a “joined-up” approach to its external action and strengthen its capacities at the interface of security and development policies.

 This paper analyses the European Union (EU)’s approach to the security-development nexus, focusing on the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP). The paper starts by placing the EU’s approach to the security-development nexus in a broader context before demonstrating its manifestation in EU external policy discourse. Moreover, the paper discusses in what ways the EU has overcome its institutional fragmentation in managing the security-development interface. The paper then introduces the reader to the IcSP and presents empirical findings on the IcSP’s impact.

 The analysis reveals that IcSP interventions make a valuable contribution to EU efforts in stabilising conflict and crisis situations and in preventing the escalation of violence. IcSP actions also contribute significantly to boosting partners’ capacities for conflict prevention and peacebuilding both on a short-term and long-term basis. The IcSP makes a difference to EU external action as it provides the Union with a significant first-response capacity that has the potential to pave the way for longer-term EU engagement. However, there are challenges to swift decision-making and implementation as well as to coordination with other external financial instruments (EFIs). These challenges need to be overcome to maximise the IcSP’s internal and external impact.

 Finally, the paper discusses how the debate about Capacity Building in Support of Security and Development (CBSD) has revealed deep-seated, diverging views on the relationship between EU security and development policy. The paper argues for filling the security-development nexus with further substance to avoid it becoming a mere buzzword that is used to instrumentalise development policy for security purposes. As the IcSP has proven its added value to EU efforts in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, it should be maintained during the next MFF period.

description: Genetic advances have brought new opportunities to society, with new powers of polygenic prediction, genetic engineering and gene-based environmental interventions. Judges and lawyers influence interpretations and attitudes towards complex societal issues and develop regulation. Therefore, their genetic literacy and views are an important part of society’s readiness for the genomic era. The study explored judges’ and lawyers’ (N = 117) genetic literacy, as well as views on the use of genetic advances. Quantitative and qualitative analyses showed insufficient knowledge of essential genetic concepts, including striking cases of over- and under-estimation of genetic and environmental influences on behavior. Participants’ views on every issue were widely varied, from strong agreement to strong disagreement. The majority of the participants thought that current laws are not sufficient to protect individuals from misuses of genetic data. The results suggest that society is not ready for the genomic era and call for multidisciplinary efforts to increase the readiness.
Satirical Intermedialities in “Springtime for Hitler” (1967) and “If You Could See Her” (1972): a Comparative Study
Creators: name: Haidar, Maya Mehr
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: intermediality; satire; Camp; narrativity; irony

description: Transgressing the boundaries of fiction and the real world, satire opens a dialogue between the aesthetic and political stakes of a work of art. A comparative analysis of “Springtime for Hitler” and “If You Could See Her”, comic songs from the 20th-century American musical films The Producers (1967) and Cabaret (1972) reveal multiple potentialities offered by intermediality in the construction of satirical meaning. Music critic Werner Wolf theorises narrativity and self-reflective irony as post-medial specific storytelling techniques that transgress media. An analysis of choreography and costume in the two case studies showcases how comic effect is produced through contrast, exposing the underpinnings of homogenising structures within both fascist and democratic contexts. Moreover, the works foreground their intermedialities through the aesthetic mode of Camp, defined in Susan Sontag’s seminal 1964 essay, “Notes on Camp” as a means of creating satirical meaning. Synthesising violent content with humorous form, intermedial interactions in the two case studies feature the employment of Camp–as an aesthetic and political tool–to engage their audience to expose the logical fallacies of the fascist symbolism and ideology that form the targets of musical satire.

description: Heritable human genome editing has garnered significant attention in scholarly and lay media, yet questions remain about whether, when, and how heritable genome editing ought to proceed. Drawing on interviews with scientists who use genome editing in their research and professionals engaged in human genome editing governance efforts, we examine their views on the permissibility of heritable genome editing and the governance strategies they see as necessary and realistic. For both issues, we found divergent views from respondents. We place the views of these scientists and governance professionals within the context of the larger bioethical discussion of heritable genome editing governance, along a continuum of hard to soft approaches. These respondents’ views highlight the challenges of various hard forms of governance and the potential virtues of soft governance approaches.

Des représentations de l’obscénité: Désir de l’interdit et transgression intermédiale, à partir de l’adaptation cinématographique de Ma Mère de Georges Bataille
Creators: name: Papanikolaou, Andreas
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: obscenity; desire; prohibition; transgression; imaginary

description: In our approach, we will attempt to demonstrate that Bataille’s fictional universe is immanent to an intimate dimension of being in the same way as eroticism, which is based on the dialectic of the prohibition and transgression, whereas its cinematic adaptation tends to distort them through a visual representation of sexuality rooted in explicit, debauchery and incestuous relationships. The transition from one medium, one form of expression and one system of signs to another is not without compromise, especially as the spectator becomes witness to a semantic shift, an alteration of meaning produced at the intersection of media frontiers.

Croiser narration romanesque et adaptation filmique. Les Misérables de Victor Hugo : étude intermédiale d’une scène
Creators: name: Ploumistaki, Kalliopi
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: novel; cinema; adaptation; intermediality; transartiality

description: This article aims to question the pact of mutuality, which has existed since the beginning of the 20th century between the novel and the cinema. More precisely, it will refer to the comparative approach, which highlights the dialogue among the arts, the analysis of the literary text and its reception by the world of cinema. This is why we chose Les Misérables, a classic text, which has seen many adaptations in French and other languages. We will then study the transition from the textual medium to the multimedia medium by focusing on the famous scene of Cosette in the nocturnal woods as the director Josée Dayan adapted it in 2000.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010) d’Edgar Wright. Esthétique intermédiale et surrégime d’images
Creators: name: Poiarez, Etienne
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: intermediality; video games; comics; cinema; interaesthetics

description: Released in 2010, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is a romantic comedy directed by Edgar Wright and inspired by the geek culture. This movie has a particularly dense referential spectrum. Indeed, the director multiplies quotations from comics and video games during the story, through his dialogues or his frames. However, he does not just want to amuse the spectators by playing with their personal knowledge. Wright uses advances in digital imaging and adds various visual elements from other media cultures to his shots. The result is a series of interaesthetic hybridizations in filmic forms and narrative processes. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World shows that the notion of intermediality invites us to question images without limiting them to their original medium.

Subjects: machinima; video games; cinema; foreign language; digital literacy

description: Since their inception, video games have maintained a close relationship with cinema, leveraging their popularity to engage new audiences. In recent years, the aesthetics of cinema and video games have merged, creating a new hybrid form known as machinima. This virtual universe, where various artistic forms intersect, appeals to younger generations. Machinimas, designed for distribution, sharing, and sparking conversations, enable players to become creators, turning video games into tools for story development and artistic expression. The creation of machinima demands a variety of specialized skills, such as scenario creation, dialogue writing, storyboarding, and effective use of images, objects, and settings. This process validates the use of machinimas in education, offering a practical and instructive way to apply the skills necessary for their production. This article seeks to explore the interplay between video games and cinema, and to discuss the benefits and challenges of incorporating machinima into foreign language teaching, especially within a task-based teaching and learning.

Subversion and Affective Intermediality in Jean-Luc Godard’s Adieu au langage (2014)
Creators: name: Kostopoulou, Loukia
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: affective intermediality; Jean-Luc Godard; Adieu au langage; subversive cinema

description: It is said that cinematic intermediality is linked to multisensoriality and the synesthetic experience of the viewer. In fact, Pethö asserts that even films which maintain the illusion of reality can be highly intermedial and through film, the real world can be “perceived ‘as if’ filtered through other arts (like painting) or (…) reframed, disassembled by other media” (2011b). The intermediality of cinema is based on the “(inter)sensuality of cinema itself, [on] the experience of the viewer being aroused simultaneously on different levels of consciousness and perception” (Pethö 2011b). The article focuses on the affective aspects of intermediality as encountered in Jean-Luc Godard’s late period, and more specifically, in his film Adieu au langage. Just as he did in his former film Film Socialisme, Godard engages in several stylistically similar experimentations with the formal and expressive qualities of the medium and explores how these techniques affect the viewer and subvert their expectations. The subversive elements of Godard’s late work are being explored and the focus is grouped around his formal and expressive experimentations thus offering new enhanced experiences to audiences and cinema-goers.

Odissea Intermediale: Esplorando l’Intreccio Narrativo tra Stampa e Grafica nel Capolavoro di Kipling
Creators: name: Bhardwaj, Sandal
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2024
Subjects: Bildung; children’s literature; adaptation; translation; intermediality

description: Adaptation is frequently listed as a viable option for resolving multiple translational challenges, particularly in audiovisual arts and children’s literature, where the medium or content is altered to cater to age appropriateness, text comprehension levels, social values and commercial considerations. Notable examples include adaptations of classics e.g. Le Avventure di Pinocchio, Gulliver’s Travel, and Robinson Crusoe, etc. at different times. This research focuses on the classic Indian television animation series “The Jungle Book: The Adventures of Mowgli,” aired in India in 1989 which adapted Rudyard Kipling’s novel set in colonial India. The study explores whether the adaptation retains Kipling’s original imperialistic theme, how closely the animated version followed the novel, and how the classical Western narrative structure was reconstituted in the series. The research employs a qualitative approach to investigate the role of intermediality in audiovisual arts as a necessary element of media transformation. The study suggests that multimedia adaptations can be valuable tools for human bildung, enhancing an individual’s cognizance and emotional connection to the characters and themes. Examples of intermedial adaptations include sound-and-slide displays and audio-video television channels. The paper attempts to determine how adaptations contribute to the intermediality of audiovisual arts and the media transformation process.
