Observatoire des Médicaments, des Dispositifs médicaux et des Innovations Thérapeutiques Prescription médicamenteuse chez la personne âgée Liste ATC des médicaments proposés par la Commission Gériatrie de la région Centre Préambule Ce livret thérapeutique regroupe la liste des médicaments pouvant être prescrits chez le sujet âgé, proposés par la Commission Gériatrie de la région Centre pilotée par l'OMéDIT. Il a pour objectif d'aider les médecins généralistes, principaux prescripteurs chez les personnes âgées1, dans l'élaboration de leur prescription, la thérapeutique gériatrique n'étant pas une priorité de la formation médicale initiale et continue. Sous le terme de « personnes âgées » sont concernés les sujets de 75 ans et plus, ainsi que ceux de plus de 65 ans polypathologiques. Ils représentent 16 millions de personnes au 1er Janvier 2011 (données INSEE)2. L'âge en soi ne contre-indique aucune thérapeutique, mais le vieillissement et les situations physiopathologiques associées peuvent modifier l'objectif des traitements et leur rapport bénéfice-risque.
The effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapies:an updatePETER FONAGY Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology, University College London, and The Anna Freud Centre, London, UK This paper provides a comprehensive review of outcome studies and meta-analyses of effectiveness studies of psychodynamic therapy (PDT)for the major categories of mental disorders. Comparisons with inactive controls (waitlist, treatment as usual and placebo) generally but byno means invariably show PDT to be effective for depression, some anxiety disorders, eating disorders and somatic disorders. There is littleevidence to support its implementation for post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, cocaine depen-dence or psychosis. The strongest current evidence base supports relatively long-term psychodynamic treatment of some personality disorders,particularly borderline personality disorder. Comparisons with active treatments rarely identify PDT as superior to control interventions andstudies are generally not appropriately designed to provide tests of statistical equivalence. Studies that demonstrate inferiority of PDT toalternatives exist, but are small in number and often questionable in design. Reviews of the field appear to be subject to allegiance effects.The present review recommends abandoning the inherently conservative strategy of comparing heterogeneous "families" of therapies for het-erogeneous diagnostic groups. Instead, it advocates using the opportunities provided by bioscience and computational psychiatry to creative-ly explore and assess the value of protocol-directed combinations of specific treatment components to address the key problems of individualpatients.
HEPATITE B CHEZ L'ENFANT HÔPITAL NECKER - ENFANTS MALADES – HEPATOLOGIE PEDIATRIQUE Université Paris 5 – René Descartes Florence LACAILLE, Dominique DEBRAY, Muriel GIRARD Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades, Hépatologie pédiatrique, Paris. Août 2012 Les enfants proposés pour une adoption sont souvent originaires de pays où l'infection par le virus de l'hépatite B est fréquente. La proportion d'enfants contaminés par le virus B proposée à l'adoption a tendance à augmenter. Des enfants ont été et seront adoptés en connaissance de leur infection par les parents adoptants. Pour d'autres, en l'absence de dépistage possible en pré-adoption dans le pays d'origine de l'enfant ou de certitude sur la fiabilité des tests diagnostic pratiqués, la découverte est faite lors du bilan de santé d'arrivée. Le pédiatre spécialiste s'adressant aux parents d'un enfant porteur du virus de l'hépatite B doit concilier deux impératifs :
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome It is estimated that fibromyalgia affects 2% of the general population in the USA with a significant preponderance in women. It is one of the pain syndromes which many researchers and clinicians now believe forms part of a larger continuum of so-called "central sensitivity syndromes". In some treatment centres in the USA it has been observed that the many chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) sufferers experience fibromyalgia and similarly it has been reported that up to 70% of patients with fibromyalgia meet the criteria for CFS. As such the broader principles of treating fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome significantly overlap.
Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathyas a cause of acute kidney injury in dogsin the UK L. P. Holm, I. Hawkins, C. Robin, R. J. Newton, R. Jepson, G. Stanzani, L. A. McMahon,P. Pesavento, T. Carr, T. Cogan, C. G. Couto, R. Cianciolo, D. J. Walker To describe the signalment, clinicopathological findings and outcome in dogs presenting withacute kidney injury (AKI) and skin lesions between November 2012 and March 2014, in whomcutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) was suspected and renal thromboticmicroangiopathy (TMA) was histopathologically confirmed. The medical records of dogs withskin lesions and AKI, with histopathologically confirmed renal TMA, were retrospectivelyreviewed. Thirty dogs from across the UK were identified with clinicopathological findingscompatible with CRGV. These findings included the following: skin lesions, predominantlyaffecting the distal extremities; AKI; and variably, anaemia, thrombocytopaenia andhyperbilirubinaemia. Known causes of AKI were excluded. The major renal histopathogicalfinding was TMA. All thirty dogs died or were euthanised. Shiga toxin was not identified in thekidneys of affected dogs. Escherichia coli genes encoding shiga toxin were not identified infaeces from affected dogs. CRGV has previously been reported in greyhounds in the USA,a greyhound in the UK, without renal involvement, and a Great Dane in Germany. This is thefirst report of a series of non-greyhound dogs with CRGV and AKI in the UK. CRGV is a disease ofunknown aetiology carrying a poor prognosis when azotaemia develops.

Réponses concernant le questionnaire sur l'hyperprolactinémie, MC Wimmer, interne de gynécologie-obstétrique CHU Rennes 1 « Evaluation des connaissances concernant l'hyperprolactinémie, dans la population des internes de gynécologie-obstétrique » 2 Quelques résultats et discussion Cette étude épidémiologique s'est intéressée aux connaissances des internes de gynécologie-obstétrique en France sur le thème de l'hyperprolactinémie. Le taux de réponse au questionnaire est de 17.7 % des internes. Ce taux de participation est proche d'études publiées dans ce domaine : 19 % concernant l'enseignement du siège en 2006 [15], 33.6 % concernant le formation sur la dystocie des épaules [16]. Une nouvelle relance devrait permettre d'améliorer le taux de réponse à notre questionnaire. Il est intéressant de noter une disparité au sein des régions de France, parmi les réponses. Le taux des internes de la région de Rennes est le plus élevé, traduisant qu'une motivation locale au remplissage du questionnaire peut être utile. Il serait intéressant de connaître les motifs de non remplissage du questionnaire. Le principal résultat de cette étude, est la mise en évidence de lacunes chez les internes de gynécologie obstétrique, concernant le sujet de l'hyperprolactinémie. En effet, la moyenne globale de 5,7 sur 20 (+/- 2.4). Les lacunes dominent dans le contexte de la grossesse que ce soit en physiologie ou lors d'un adénome à prolactine. Les connaissances pratiques semblent elles mieux maitrisées notamment sur la réalisation d'IRM hypophysaire en urgence lors d'une suspicion d'adénome à prolactine, sur la conduite thérapeutique en première intention, et sur les traitements hyperprolactinémiants. Près de 20 % des réponses enregistrées étaient des « ne sais pas », mettant en évidence leur clairvoyance sur leur manque de connaissances sur le sujet. Il est intéressant de noter que le cursus ne semble pas permettre une meilleure courbe d'apprentissage. En effet, les internes de fin de cursus n'ont pas obtenus de meilleurs résultats que les plus jeunes. En revanche, les internes à destinée médicale semblent avoir des connaissances plus importantes à l'inverse des internes mentionnant un cursus plus chirurgical ou orienté en obstétrique. Les résultats n'ont qu'une tendance significative due aux plus faible nombre de personne dans les groupes gynécologie médicale +/- PMA et échographie, DAN. Quelles peuvent être les principales hypothèses de ces mauvais résultats ? Les internes de gynécologie-obstétriques ne rencontrent probablement pas ou peu ces pathologies lors de leurs stages pratiques, car elles sont principalement gérées en consultation. Lors des cours théoriques, les thèmes de gynécologie endocrinienne sont peut- être abordés moins fréquemment que ceux de chirurgie ou d'obstétrique [11]. De plus, ces connaissances s'acquièrent plutôt dans des stages spécialisés (gynécologie-endocrinologie) qui ne peuvent s'intégrer dans la maquette de tous les internes. Une deuxième hypothèse est que les connaissances restent potentiellement mal intégrées et/ou mal utilisées. En 2015, Mesdag et collaborateurs ont réalisé un état des lieux sur l'enseignement en gynécologie-obstétrique en France [11]. L'offre d'enseignement est très variable sur le plan de la méthodologie employée, des formateurs et de la périodicité. L'accès est difficile de par l'éloignement géographique des lieux de stages, et des impératifs de service. Dans ce travail les étudiants auraient souhaités des cours plus axés sur des conduites à tenir en pratique, et des ateliers de formation aux gestes techniques. Cette étude concluait à la nécessité d'une réforme de l'enseignement avec comme pistes de travail l'uniformisation de l'enseignement en France, la possibilité d'un

Capítulo 8 Intoxicación por paracetamol C. Luaces i Cubells, A. Noguera Julian El paracetamol (acetaminofén) es el analgésico-antipirético más uti- lizado en el mundo. Su fácil accesibilidad y su presencia en la mayoríade hogares, lo convierten también en la primera causa de intoxicaciónmedicamentosa (accidental y voluntaria) y de insuficiencia hepáticaaguda. Datos recientes aportados por el Grupo de Trabajo de Intoxica-ciones de la SEUP, lo sitúan como la primera causa de intoxicación far-macológica en menores de 5 años, sobre todo por ingesta de prepara-ciones líquidas sin tapones de seguridad. Así, y según comunica dichoGrupo de Trabajo, la ingesta accidental de paracetamol resultó ser el 16%del total de intoxicaciones, el 25% de las medicamentosas y el 88.5% delas intoxicaciones por antitérmicos entre un grupo de 1700 pacientes aten-didos en 18 Hospitales desde Enero de 2001 hasta Diciembre de 2002. Enuna revisión efectuada por el Servicio de Información Toxicológica entreenero de 1998 y diciembre de 2000, de 13.044 intoxicaciones registradas,el 11% estuvieron causadas por paracetamol.

Venom Peptides and their Mimetics as Potential DrugsOren Bogin, Ph.D. Venomous creatures have a sophisticated mechanism for prey capture which includes a vast array of biologically-active compounds, such as enzymes, proteins, peptides and small molecular weight compounds. These substances target an immense number of receptors and membrane proteins with high affinity, selectivity and potency, and can serve as potential drugs or scaffolds for drug design.

C = Sergio Frau e Giovanni Manca (a cura di), "Atlantikà, Sardegna, Isola Mito. Vittorio Castellani (archeologo): All'origine un brano di Platone che, nei suoi Dialoghi, narra di un sacerdote egizio che – limitandoci alle linee essenziali – avrebbe parlato a Solone di un'antica civiltà posta nell'Isola di Atlantide, al di là delle Colonne d'Ercole, civiltà che in tempi antichissimi avrebbe mancato per poco di conquistare tutta l'Europa e che scomparve infine sommersa dai flutti del mare (B p. 59). Platone: Sacerdote di Sais a Solone (testimone Crizia; testimone di Crizia, Platone): .terremoti e inondazioni, nello spazio di un giorno e di una notte, tutti i vostri guerrieri (Greci di Atene, visto che il sant'uomo egizio sta parlando con l'ateniese Solone) sprofondarono dentro la terra, e similmente scomparve l'isola Atlantide assorbita dal mare; perciò ancora oggi quel mare è impraticabile e inesplorabile. (A p. 492). Platone (Crizia): In quest'isola di Atlante vi era una grande e mirabile potenza regale che possedeva l'intera isola e molte altre isole e parti del continente. Inoltre dominava, al di qua dello Stretto le regioni della Libya (l'Africa del Nord, l'unica conosciuta dai Greci) fino all'Egitto e dell'Europa fino alla Tirrenìa (l'Etruria toscana ai tempi di Platone) (B p. 121). Platone, Crizia (116), riguardo Atlantide: Di stagno fuso fu ricoperto invece il muro della cinta interna, e l'oricalco, dai riflessi di fuoco, guarniva il muro tutto intorno all'Acropoli (A p. 467). Platone (Crizia): L'isola forniva ogni specie di metalli, duri e malleabili, che si possono estrarre dalle miniere, ed anche quel metallo di cui noi ormai non sappiamo altro che il nome, ma che si estraeva dalla terra in molte località dell'isola, e che dopo l'oro era il metallo più prezioso che esistesse (B p. 122). Andrea Carandini (Università di Roma "La Sapienza"): I Greci avevano un loro lontanissimo passato mitico, il tempo di Crono, il tempo di Urano, cioè il tempo prima di Zeus, che era il dio supremo dei Greci che poneva ordine, che ha posto ordine al mondo. A Occidente – cioè in queste isole occidentali – questo Paradiso Perduto viveva, sopravviveva e lì era anche il mondo dei morti. Prima il limite era l'Adriatico a un certo momento il limite più grande è stato appunto il Canale di Sicilia (A pp. 658-659). Platone (Crizia): Davanti a quella bocca che voi chiamate Colonne di Eracle c'era un'isola. Chi ci arrivava poteva passare da quest'isola alle altre isole e raggiungere il continente che tutto circonda (B p. 121). Dolores Turchi (etnologa): Leggendo con attenzione il Crizia e considerando la civiltà evoluta che c'era nella sua Atlantide (piena di costruzioni e di torri) ci rendiamo conto che l'isola delle torri doveva essere proprio la Sardegna con i suoi 8000 nuraghi (B p. 70). Sergio Frau: .la Sardegna del III e II millennio a.C. messa lì, in gran parte intatta, a farsi ammirare con tutti i suoi primati temporali e quantitativi e con mille reperti mai indagati del tutto che, però, la gemellano all'Anatolia insieme ai suoi dna, all'Africa dei Lebu, alla Spagna di Gerione e dei megaliti, ai Baschi dai costumi identici, alla Bulgaria che aveva Sardica a far da capitale anche se oggi si chiama Sofia e pozzi identici a quelli antichissimi che dissetavano l'isola, alle Cicladi con madonne identiche (B p. 5). Dolores Turchi (etnologa): Scrive testualmente Platone, riferendo il racconto che il sacerdote di Sais fece a Solone: "In quest'isola vi era una grande e mirabile potenza regale che possedeva l'intera isola e molte altre isole e parti del continente. e tutta questa potenza, unitasi insieme, tentò una volta, con una sola mossa, di sottomettere la vostra regione (la Grecia) e la nostra (l'Egitto) e tutte quelle che stanno al di qua dello stretto.". Questo racconto sembra una rievocazione della lega dei popoli del mare che aggredirono l'Egitto. Ma questi avvenimenti sappiamo che avvennero intorno al 1200 a.C., mentre Crizia, ripetendo il racconto udito, parla di 9000 anni dalla morte di Socrate, quindi di 9399 anni prima di Cristo (B pp. 70-71).

For example, for the query penicillinscientist, Susi recognizes that scientist is a type of person, and returns a list ofnames of scientists that are mentioned along with the word penicillin. We arguethat neither full-text search alone nor ontology-search alone is able to answer thesekinds of queries satisfactorily. Along with the list of entities matching the query(the name of the scientists in the example), Susi also provides excerpts from thetext as evidence.

Acute Kidney Injury: A Guide to Diagnosis and ManagementMAHBOOB RAHMAN, MD, MS, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OhioFARIHA SHAD, MD, Kaiser Permanente, Cleveland, Ohio MICHAEL C. SMITH, MD, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio Acute kidney injury is characterized by abrupt deterioration in kidney function, manifested by an increase in serum creatinine level with or without reduced urine output. The spectrum of injury ranges from mild to advanced, some-times requiring renal replacement therapy. The diagnostic evaluation can be used to classify acute kidney injury as prerenal, intrinsic renal, or postrenal. The initial workup includes a patient history to identify the use of nephrotoxic medications or systemic illnesses that might cause poor renal perfusion or directly impair renal function. Physi-cal examination should assess intravascular volume status and identify skin rashes indicative of systemic illness. The initial laboratory evaluation should include measurement of serum creatinine level, complete blood count, uri-nalysis, and fractional excretion of sodium. Ultrasonography of the kidneys should be performed in most patients, particularly in older men, to rule out obstruction. Management of acute kidney injury involves fluid resuscitation, avoidance of nephrotoxic medications and contrast media exposure, and correction of electrolyte imbal-ances. Renal replacement therapy (dialysis) is indicated for refrac-tory hyperkalemia; volume overload; intractable acidosis; uremic encephalopathy, pericarditis, or pleuritis; and removal of certain toxins. Recognition of risk factors (e.g., older age, sepsis, hypovo-lemia/shock, cardiac surgery, infusion of contrast agents, diabetes

REV ARGENT NEUROC VOL. 28, Nº 3 : 78-98 2014 REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA Cirugía de los trastornos del comportamiento: el estado del arte Claudio Yampolsky, Damián Bendersky Servicio de Neurocirugía, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina RESUmENIntroducción: la cirugía de los trastornos del comportamiento (CTC) se está convirtiendo en un tratamiento más común desde el desarrollo de la neuromodulación. Podemos dividir su historia en 3 etapas: la primera comienza en los inicios de la psicocirugía y termina con el desarrollo de las técnicas estereotácticas, cuando comienza la segunda etapa. Ésta se caracteriza por la realización de lesiones estereotácticas. Nos encontramos transitando la tercera etapa, que comienza cuando la estimulación cerebral profunda (ECP) empieza a ser usada en CTC.Objetivo: el propósito de este artículo es realizar una revisión no sistemática de la historia, indicaciones actuales, técnicas y blancos quirúrgicos de la CTC. Resultados: a pesar de los errores graves cometidos en el pasado, hoy en día, la CTC está renaciendo. Los trastornos psiquiátricos que más frecuentemente se tratan con cirugía y los blancos estereotácticos preferidos para cada uno de ellos son: cápsula interna/estriado ventral para trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, cíngulo subgenual para depresión y complejo centromediano/parafascicular del tálamo para síndrome de Tourette. Conclusión: los resultados de la ECP en estos trastornos parecen alentadores. Sin embargo, se necesitan más estudios randomizados para establecer la efectividad de la CTC. Debe tenerse en cuenta que una apropiada selección de pacientes nos ayudará a realizar un procedimiento más seguro así como también a lograr mejores resultados quirúrgicos, conduciendo a la CTC a ser más aceptada por psiquiatras, pacientes y sus familias. Se necesita mayor investigación en varios temas como: fisiopatología de los trastornos del comportamiento, indicaciones de CTC y nuevos blancos quirúrgicos.

ACUPUNCTURE AND TENNIS ELBOW About tennis elbow Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is characterised by pain and tenderness over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. In the UK, the annual incidence of lateral elbow pain in general practice is around 4/1000 to 7/1000 people.(Hamilton 1986) It is most common in people aged between 40 and 50 years (Allander 1974); for example, the incidence is as much as 10% in women aged 42 to 46 years.(Chard 1989; Verhaar 1994)
EPIDEMIOLOGY SERIES Blinding in randomised trials: hiding who got what Kenneth F Schulz, David A Grimes Blinding embodies a rich history spanning over two centuries. Most researchers worldwide understand blindingterminology, but confusion lurks beyond a general comprehension. Terms such as single blind, double blind, and tripleblind mean different things to different people. Moreover, many medical researchers confuse blinding with allocationconcealment. Such confusion indicates misunderstandings of both. The term blinding refers to keeping trialparticipants, investigators (usually health-care providers), or assessors (those collecting outcome data) unaware ofthe assigned intervention, so that they will not be influenced by that knowledge. Blinding usually reduces differentialassessment of outcomes (information bias), but can also improve compliance and retention of trial participants whilereducing biased supplemental care or treatment (sometimes called co-intervention). Many investigators and readersnaively consider a randomised trial as high quality simply because it is double blind, as if double-blinding is the sinequa non of a randomised controlled trial. Although double blinding (blinding investigators, participants, and outcomeassessors) indicates a strong design, trials that are not double blinded should not automatically be deemed inferior.Rather than solely relying on terminology like double blinding, researchers should explicitly state who was blinded,and how. We recommend placing greater credence in results when investigators at least blind outcome assessments,except with objective outcomes, such as death, which leave little room for bias. If investigators properly report theirblinding efforts, readers can judge them. Unfortunately, many articles do not contain proper reporting. If an article claims blinding without any accompanying clarification, readers should remain sceptical about its effect on bias reduction.

Whilst on Holiday 69 million of us travel abroad from the UK annually. While Spain and France are the most popular destinations (about 36% of all visits)1, we are becoming increasingly adventurous about holidaying in further flung, more exotic locations. Holidays are usually a time to relax and enjoy ourselves but to do that we need to avoid the common pitfall of dehydration which can leave us with headaches, feeling tired, dizzy and grouchy2.
Is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) an Effective Treatment for Autism? A Cumulative Review of Impartial Reports Eric V. Larsson, PhD, LP, BCBA-D (2013) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) for Autism are quite possibly the best examples of evidence-based behavioral health care. Impartial independent review panels consistently agree that ABA and EIBI treatments for autism are effective, and that the extensive body of research meets high standards of scientific evidence. These reviews also report that ABA and EIBI significantly improves the net health outcome in Autism in substantial and far-ranging ways. What is striking about the independent reviews of EIBI and ABA for autism is that the more careful the scrutiny, the more emphatic are the conclusions. For example, the New York, the Maine, and the US AHRQ commissions embarked upon yearlong independent reviews of the scientific support of ALL possible interventions for autism. Each panel stringently applied scientific standards of proof to all interventions and found that ABA-based therapies alone, of all possible treatments for children with autism, had been proven effective. As a result, the practice of ABA and EIBI have become part of the mainstream community standard of care. The conclusions from many years of independent review are quoted below. In 1998, Division 53 of the American Psychological Association (the Society for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology) conducted a Task Force on Empirically Supported Child Psychotherapy. For autism, they found:
