Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Download or read book World Health Organization Guidelines on the Pharmacological Treatment of Persisting Pain in Children with Medical Illnesses written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines have been developed to support countries to relieve pain in their paediatric populations. These guidelines address persisting pain in children caused by conditions such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, sickle-cell disease, burns, trauma, and phantom limb pain. Recommendations -- developed following a careful and transparent appraisal of available evidence -- are presented for the pharmacological treatment of mild, moderate and severe pain. The guidelines include chapters on the various systems used to classify pain and on the evaluation of pain, which reviews the available tools for routine pain measurement in children. Provision of sustainable pain relief within health care systems is covered in a separate chapter. Since morphine and other opioid analgesics -- required for the relief of moderate-to-severe pain in children -- are listed under the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the new guidelines include an annex explaining the Convention's requirements for the handling and procurement of opioid analgesics for the relief of pain.

Download or read book Cancer Pain Relief written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1996 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of a guide, which introduced a simple, yet highly effective method for the relief of cancer pain. Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition further refines the WHO method, which advocates the use of a small number of relatively inexpensive drugs, including morphine. Revisions draw on experiences with millions of patients around the world as well as new knowledge about the specific pain syndromes unique to cancer. Completely new are chapters describing the international system by which morphine and other opioids are made available for medical purposes. The book has two parts. Part one provides a practical guide to the relief of cancer pain, concentrating on drug treatment as the mainstay of pain management. The most extensive section sets out detailed guidelines for the selection and prescribing of non-opioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, drugs for neuropathic pain, and adjuvant drugs for the treatment of adverse effects, the enhancement of pain relief and the management of concomitant psychological disturbances. Information ranges from explanations of how specific drugs work, through the precautions to take in the presence of certain disorders, to a list of factors that influence the effectiveness of opioids. Concerning the use of opioids, readers are reminded that psychological dependence does not occur in cancer patients and that the only correct dose of morphine is the one that relieves the pain. Part two provides a guide to opioid availability. A discussion of the reasons why opioids continue to be underprescribed or difficult to obtain is followed by an explanation of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.

Download or read book Recherche de facteurs pr dictifs d une am lioration fonctionnelle une r ducation r adaptataion palliative chez les patients atteints d un cancer avanc written by Laurine Duquesne (Médecin) and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'augmentation du nombre de patients vivant avec un cancer avancé soulève des défis majeurs en matière de soins et de qualité de vie, nécessitant une approche globale, précoce et coordonnée. L'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé encourage le développement de la rééducation et réadaptation palliative (RRP), une prise en charge multidisciplinaire visant à améliorer la qualité de vie des patients en optimisant leurs capacités fonctionnelles et leur bien-être psychosocial. Cependant, en situation palliative la notion de temporalité est primordiale. Il est essentiel de réfléchir aux bénéfices potentiels pour chaque patient avant de proposer une RRP, surtout en cas d'hospitalisation complète, tout en veillant à ne pas empiéter sur le temps qu'ils peuvent passer auprès de leurs proches. Disposer d'indicateurs fiables pour estimer les bénéfices fonctionnels possibles par la RRP serait une plus-value pour élaborer un projet de soins adapté au projet de vie du patient et à son pronostic. Cette étude vise à analyser les facteurs pouvant être prédictifs d'une amélioration fonctionnelle après une RRP. MÉTHODE : Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective monocentrique portant sur les patients atteints d'un cancer avancé hospitalisés dans le service de SMR Soins de Supports du CHU de Rouen. L'amélioration fonctionnelle a été définie par une augmentation d'au moins 10% du Palliative Performance Scale à l'issue du séjour. Les données anthropométriques, cliniques, médicales et biologiques à l'entrée dans le service ont été analysées. RÉSULTATS : Parmi les 40 patients inclus, 16 ont eu une amélioration fonctionnelle. L'analyse de régression logistique univariée a mis en évidence deux variables significatives : la CRP (OR = 0_97 ; IC95% [0_95 ; 0_99] ; p = 0.243) et le score pronostic palliatif de survie Pronopall (OR = 0.69 ; 1C95% [0.49: 0.98] ; p = 0.397]. Dans l'échantillon d'étude, on a constaté que 83.3% des patients naïfs de tout traitement ontologique et 66.7% des patients n'ayant eu aucune hospitalisation non programmée dans les 12 derniers mois présentaient une amélioration fonctionnelle. CONCLUSION : La CRP et le score Pronopall sont des variables importantes à explorer et qui pourraient aider à l'orientation des patients atteints d'un cancer avancé vers des programmes de rééducation-réadaptation fonctionnelle. L'intérêt d'une préhabilitation avant chimiothérapie palliative pourrait être une piste à développer pour les patients diagnostiqués d'emblée avec un cancer incurable. Avant tout, une collaboration précoce entre les oncologues et les équipes pluridisciplinaires de soins palliatifs est à promouvoir.
