Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : L'asthme, maladie chronique fréquente, est la première cause de morbidité infantile. Son traitement repose principalement sur les médicaments inhalés à l'aide d'une chambre d'inhalation. Pour les jeunes enfants, le GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) souligne l'importance du choix du mode d'inhalation et du contrôle de son utilisation correcte, de l'éducation thérapeutique, et l'organisation d'un partenariat avec la famille. Objectifs : L'objectif de cette étude est de comprendre le contenu et la forme des informations délivrées par les médecins généralistes (MG) aux parents de jeunes enfants asthmatiques lors de la première prescription de chambre d'inhalation ; tenter d'apporter des pistes d'amélioration à ces pratiques. Méthodes : Étude qualitative avec analyse en phénoménologie interprétative, auprès de douze MG de la région, sélectionnés en recherche de variation maximale, interviewés lors d'entretiens individuels semi-directifs. Analyse des données après chaque entretien, via le logiciel N-vivo ; codage des données. Triangulation des données. Résultats : Les MG délivraient des informations dans le but d'éduquer les parents pour administrer efficacement les traitements, et réagir de façon adaptée. Ils expliquaient la maladie, les différents traitements inhalés et leurs modes d'actions. Ils présentaient la chambre d'inhalation et sa technique d'utilisation. Les consignes d'utilisation et d'entretien n'étaient pas délivrées de façon uniforme et systématique. Elles étaient parfois accompagnées d'une démonstration partielle ou complète, ou d'un support écrit. Ils donnaient des consignes de surveillance et conduites à tenir en cas de crise, et précisaient parfois les mesures préventives associées à appliquer. Ils voulaient créer un partenariat avec les parents en essayant d'adapter l'information à leurs connaissances et niveau de compréhension. Ils développaient des stratégies pour tenter de répondre aux appréhensions des parents, et renforcer l'adhésion thérapeutique. La compréhension des parents était évaluée de façon diverse selon les MG, de façon verbale ou non, parfois orientée ou par demande de démonstration. Le rôle éducatif était partagé avec les pneumopédiatres et les pharmaciens. Conclusion : La démonstration, le plan d'action écrit, l'évaluation différente de la compréhension, un travail d'équipe coordonné et renforcé, via un infirmier de pratique avancé ou des assistants médicaux, sont des pistes d'amélioration.

Download or read book The Patient Will See You Now written by Eric Topol and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential guide by one of America's leading doctors to how digital technology enables all of us to take charge of our health A trip to the doctor is almost a guarantee of misery. You'll make an appointment months in advance. You'll probably wait for several hours until you hear "the doctor will see you now"-but only for fifteen minutes! Then you'll wait even longer for lab tests, the results of which you'll likely never see, unless they indicate further (and more invasive) tests, most of which will probably prove unnecessary (much like physicals themselves). And your bill will be astronomical. In The Patient Will See You Now, Eric Topol, one of the nation's top physicians, shows why medicine does not have to be that way. Instead, you could use your smartphone to get rapid test results from one drop of blood, monitor your vital signs both day and night, and use an artificially intelligent algorithm to receive a diagnosis without having to see a doctor, all at a small fraction of the cost imposed by our modern healthcare system. The change is powered by what Topol calls medicine's "Gutenberg moment." Much as the printing press took learning out of the hands of a priestly class, the mobile internet is doing the same for medicine, giving us unprecedented control over our healthcare. With smartphones in hand, we are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which "doctor knows best." Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues; now it will be democratized. Computers will replace physicians for many diagnostic tasks, citizen science will give rise to citizen medicine, and enormous data sets will give us new means to attack conditions that have long been incurable. Massive, open, online medicine, where diagnostics are done by Facebook-like comparisons of medical profiles, will enable real-time, real-world research on massive populations. There's no doubt the path forward will be complicated: the medical establishment will resist these changes, and digitized medicine inevitably raises serious issues surrounding privacy. Nevertheless, the result-better, cheaper, and more human health care-will be worth it. Provocative and engrossing, The Patient Will See You Now is essential reading for anyone who thinks they deserve better health care. That is, for all of us.

Download or read book Aluminium and Alzheimer s Disease written by C. Exley and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-07-03 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of aluminium and Alzheimer's disease has been plagued with controversy. This controversy has served to obscure much of the scientific research in this field, and subsequently has obscured the possibility that aluminium is a contributory factor in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease. This book brings together many of the world's leading scientists researching aluminium and life and contains their critical summaries on the known facts about aluminium toxicity in man and to offer an opinion on the implications of this knowledge on a link between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease. The subject areas of the chapters were chosen to reflect the myriad of ways that aluminium is known to impact upon mammalian physiology and function and range from clinical studies, through animal models of disease to the detailed biochemistry of aluminium toxicity. Chapters are also included on epidemiology and other factors involved in the aetiology of Alzheimer's.This is the first time that this subject has been treated in such a comprehensive manner. The research detailed in each chapter, includes the latest research in the field, it has been critically appraised and this appraisal has been used by each author to present an informed opinion of its relevance to aluminium and Alzheimer's disease. The chapters are much more than reviews; they are a statement of the state of the art and of what the future may hold for research in this field. As a whole they show the high quality of research that has been carried out in our efforts to understand the toxicity of aluminium in man and that we are far away from discounting the possibility that aluminium is a contributory factor in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease.
Download or read book Trace Element Speciation for Environment Food and Health written by L Ebdon and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2007-10-31 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ongoing progress of science has shown that it is important for analytical scientists to determine not only the presence of particular elements, but also their species. There are many fields where this is applicable, and where there are a number of topics to be addressed. Developing separation and measurement systems for the many element species has tested the resourcefulness of analytical chemists over recent decades. A product of the EU sponsored Speciation 21 Network, this book presents a detailed review of the state-of-the-art of speciation issues in the occupational health, food and environment sectors, along with the main conclusions arising from discussions held during expert meetings. Topics covered include mercury and organotin compounds in the environment; factors affecting the health of workers; the importance of speciation of trace elements for health, and subsequent metabolism in the body; analytical methodologies; risk assessment; and legislation. Trace Element Speciation for Environment, Food and Health provides an insight into applied research in the speciation field and how it has become so important in all the fields represented. With its comprehensive coverage, it will be of particular interest to researchers in industry and academia, as well as government agencies and legislative bodies.

Book excerpt: The head and neck, as an anatomical cross roads of multiple functions critical to human well being, including respiration, digestion, sensation, communication, and aesthetics, presents disorders that acutely threaten these vital systems. As with any emergency situation, information devoted to the priorities of management: airway, breathing, circulation, and disability are presented for otolaryngic emergencies that may manifest at each of these levels in the form of acute airway obstruction, epistaxis, and the gamut of traumatic, infectious, and inflammatory disorders that affect special sensation, neurologic function, and cosmesis. Discussed in this issue is the use of modalities such as endoscopy, optics, and radiologic imaging as a means to earlier diagnosis, detailed anatomic assessment, and minimally invasive surgery used in the emergency setting. This text strives to keep practitioners at the forefront in the management of ENT emergencies. Experts in otolaryngology describe those conditions that require urgent evaluation and treatment but are also relatively common. Where evidence-based medicine is lacking, comprehensive reviews of the controversies are presented along with logical treatment algorithms based on clinical expertise. This issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics should be highly relevant to the otolaryngologist as well as the general practitioner and emergency physician.
