Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le cancer du sein représente un tiers des nouveaux cas de cancers survenant chez les femmes en France. Compte tenu de la rareté des études sur l’impact de cette maladie sur la qualité de vie (QdV) et la réinsertion à long terme, une étude a été réalisée en population générale à partir de registres des cancers. L’objectif était d’étudier la QdV et la réinsertion 5, 10 et 15 ans après le diagnostic de patientes en longue rémission d’un cancer du sein (cas) par comparaison à des témoins. Les cas ont été tirés au sort à partir de trois registres des cancers et les témoins ont été tirés au sort sur les listes électorales. Cinq questionnaires ont été utilisés : QLQ-C30, SF-36, MFI-20, STAI et un questionnaire de conditions de vie. Six cent cinquante-deux cas et 1 188 témoins ont participé à l’étude. Une différence cliniquement significative a été mise en évidence entre les cas toujours en vie 5 ans après le diagnostic et les témoins pour les dimensions suivantes : activité physique, limitations dues à l’état physique, limitations dues à l’état psychique et fatigue. Ces différences s’estompaient avec le temps pour pratiquement tous les indicateurs. Les résultats sur les conditions de vie ont montré que sur certains points, les cas présentent une évolution positive depuis leur diagnostic par rapport aux témoins, notamment dans leur vie familiale et sociale. Cependant, des difficultés persistent dans leur vie sexuelle et professionnelle et lors d’une demande de prêt financier. Notre étude a permis de montrer que la QdV et les conditions de vie des patientes en longue rémission sont, en général, différentes de celles des témoins de population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La thématique du survivorship, en plein essor dans les pays anglo-saxons, intègre des dimensions multiples comme la recherche clinique, l’épidémiologie, les sciences humaines et sociales, l’éducation sanitaire. En France, les premiers programmes de recherche commencent à voir le jour. Cet ouvrage collectif, rédigé par des spécialistes d'horizons variés, se propose de faire le point sur les différents problèmes rencontrés au cours des années qui suivent le traitement des tumeurs solides localisées de l'adulte. Il s'adresse à tous les praticiens impliqués dans la prise en charge des cancers et de leur suivi. Ils y trouveront traités, entre autres, le problème de la prise en charge multidisciplinaire au long cours des patients en rémission prolongée après traitement, de leurs effets secondaires, du réaménagement du mode de vie, des complications tardives des traitements, des possibilités de prévention secondaires et tertiaires, ou bien encore de la question des médecines complémentaires.
Download or read book Qualit de vie et d veloppement post traumatique long terme d un cancer du sein written by Sophie Lelorain and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette recherche a pour objectifs de décrire et surtout d'expliquer de décrire et surtout d'expliquer la qualité de vie et le développement post-traumatique (changements positifs psychologiques vécus suite à un événement de vie difficile) de femmes étant actuellemnt de 5 à 15 ans du diagnostic d'un cancer du sein, en comparaison avec d'autres n'ayant pas eu le acncer et faisant référence à l'événement le plus difficile vécu dans les 15 dernières années de leur vie. Méthode : cette étude transversale a été menée par questionnaires auprès de 307 femmes ayant eu le cancer et 132 femmes constituant une position contrôle. Des entretiens semi-directifs, conduits auprès de 28 femmes anciennement cancéreuses ont complété les questionnaires dans l'appréhension du développement post-traumatiques après le cancer. Résultats : La qualité de vie des femmes à long terme du cancer est satisfaisante et comparable à celle de la population contrôle. Bien que des changements positifs soient effectivement déclarés, ils ne semblent pas spécifiques au cancer. Dans les deux populations, la qualité de vie mentale dépend essentiellement de la personnalité et du soutien perçu, la qualité de vie physique de variables sociodémographiques, médicales et des séquelles laissées par l'événement, le développement post-traumatique du coping. Conclusion : dans l'ensemble et à long terme, le cancer ne paraît pas plus délétère que d'autres événements difficiles sur la qualité de vie. Il convient néanmoins de ne pas minimiser l'impact d'un cancer du sein dans la vie d'une femme.
Download or read book Femmes trait es pour un cancer du sein written by élise and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : en 2018, 12146 décès par cancer du sein ont été recensé en France. C'est le cancer le plus fréquent et le plus meurtrier chez la femme. Dès l'annonce de la pathologie, au cours des traitements et pendant la rémission, la santé globale et la qualité de vie des femmes sont considérablement altérées. L'objectif principal de ce travail était d'évaluer l'impact du programme d'activité physique proposé à l'hôpital de Cahors sur la qualité de vie de femmes traitées pour un cancer du sein. Matériel et méthode : nous avons mené une étude qualitative s'inspirant de l'analyse phénoménologique interprétative en suivant les critères COREQ. Le recueil des données a été réalisé par le biais d'entretiens individuels semi-dirigés. Résultats : 12 entretiens réalisés entre juin 2021 et juillet 2022 ont été analysés. Notre analyse phénoménologique et interprétative a fait émerger trois thèmes centraux qui décrivent l'expérience des femmes traitées pour un cancer du sein ayant participé à une activité physique adaptée. Ces thèmes s'articulent autour de la reconquête corporelle et identitaire, de la réinsertion sociale et du programme comme fil conducteur de la vie. Discussion : le programme semble avoir été une aide importante dans la reconstruction de soi, dans la reconstruction de leur féminité et dans la reprise du contrôle de leur vie. Il a permis la réappropriation des rôles sociaux et la levée de l'isolement sociale. Il s'inscrit dans une volonté de prise en charge globale et d'amélioration de la qualité de vie. Conclusion : L'intégration d'un protocole d'activité physique dans le parcours de soins des femmes atteintes de cancer du sein paraît être une option viable pour le suivi dans l'après cancer avec un encadrement rapproché, une diminution des effets indésirables à long terme et une amélioration de globale de la qualité de vie.
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.

Book excerpt: SCIENCE AND EMPIRES: FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM TO THE BOOK Patrick PETITJEAN, Catherine JAMI and Anne Marie MOULIN The International Colloquium "Science and Empires - Historical Studies about Scientific De velopment and European Expansion" is the product of an International Colloquium, "Sciences and Empires - A Comparative History of Scien tific Exchanges: European Expansion and Scientific Development in Asian, African, American and Oceanian Countries". Organized by the REHSEIS group (Research on Epistemology and History of Exact Sciences and Scientific Institutions) of CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), the colloquium was held from 3 to 6 April 1990 in the UNESCO building in Paris. This colloquium was an idea of Professor Roshdi Rashed who initiated this field of studies in France some years ago, and proposed "Sciences and Empires" as one of the main research programmes for the The project to organize such a colloquium was a bit REHSEIS group. of a gamble. Its subject, reflected in the title "Sciences and Empires", is not a currently-accepted sub-discipline of the history of science; rather, it refers to a set of questions which found autonomy only recently. The terminology was strongly debated by the participants and, as is frequently suggested in this book, awaits fuller clarification.

Download or read book Allegories of Reading written by Paul De Man and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1979-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important theoretical work by Paul de Man sets forth a mode of reading and interpretation based on exemplary texts by Rousseau, Nietzsche, Rilke, and Proust. The readings start from unresolved difficulties in the critical traditions engendered by these authors, and they return to the places in the text where those difficulties are most apparent or most incisively reflected upon. The close reading leads to the elaboration of a more general model of textual understanding, in which de Man shows that the thematic aspects of the texts--their assertions of truth or falsehood as well as their assertions of values--are linked to specific modes of figuration that can be identified and described. The description of synchronic figures of substitution leads, by an inner logic embedded in the structure of all tropes, to extended, narrative figures or allegories. De Man poses the question whether such self-generating systems of figuration can account fully for the intricacies of meaning and of signification they produce. Throughout the book, issues in contemporary criticism are addressed analytically rather than polemically. Traditional oppositions are put in question by a rhetorical analysis which demonstrates why literary texts are such powerful sources of meaning yet epistemologically so unreliable. Since the structure which underlies this tension belongs to language in general and is not confined to literary texts, the book, starting out as practical and historical criticism or as the demonstration of a theory of literary reading, leads into larger questions pertaining to the philosophy of language. "Through elaborate and elegant close readings of poems by Rilke, Proust's Remembrance, Nietzsche's philosophical writings and the major works of Rousseau, de Man concludes that all writing concerns itself with its own activity as language, and language, he says, is always unreliable, slippery, impossible....Literary narrative, because it must rely on language, tells the story of its own inability to tell a story....De Man demonstrates, beautifully and convincingly, that language turns back on itself, that rhetoric is untrustworthy."--Julia Epstein, Washington Post Book World "The study follows out of the thinking of Nietzsche and Genette (among others), yet moves in strikingly new directions....De Man's text, almost certain to be endlessly provocative, is worthy of repeated re-reading."--Ralph Flores, Library Journal "Paul de Man continues his work in the tradition of 'deconstructionist criticism, '... which] begins with the observation that all language is constructed; therefore the task of criticism is to deconstruct it and reveal what lies behind. The title of his new work reflects de Man's preoccupation with the unreliability of language. ... The contributions that the book makes, both in the initial theoretical chapters and in the detailed analyses (or deconstructions) of particular texts are undeniable."--Caroline D. Eckhardt, World Literature Today

Download or read book Medical Dominance written by Evan Willis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical Dominance, now in a revised edition, provides a fascinating account of the medical profession's successful domination of a wide range of health care services. Evan Willis delves into the past to explain the existing division of labour and health care, the rise of the medical profession to a position of economic power within the health system, and their defence of that dominant position. Now completely revised and updated, this edition also considers the related question of the policy implications of medical dominance. The defence by doctors of their position of power is highlighted by the author's exhaustive and original research into demarcation struggles between medicine and other health occupations, in particular midwifery, optometry and chiropractic. Conventional explanations of medical dominance are challenged by the argument that the role of developments in medical knowledge and in technology itself have been overstated. As well, greater account must be taken of the social relations and struggles which developed for control of that knowledge and technology.

Download or read book Forests Trees and Human Health written by Kjell Nilsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between modern lifestyles and increasing levels of chronic heart disease, obesity, stress and poor mental health is a concern across the world. The cost of dealing with these conditions places a large burden on national public health budgets so that policymakers are increasingly looking at prevention as a cost-effective alternative to medical treatment. Attention is turning towards interactions between the environment and lifestyles. Exploring the relationships between health, natural environments in general, and forests in particular, this groundbreaking book is the outcome of the European Union’s COST Action E39 ‘Forests, Trees and Human Health and Wellbeing’, and draws together work carried out over four years by scientists from 25 countries working in the fields of forestry, health, environment and social sciences. While the focus is primarily on health priorities defined within Europe, this volume explicitly draws also on research from North America.

This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitioning youth with chronic medical conditions (also known as Youth with Special Health Care Needs--YSHCN) to adult services is a complex issue in clinical practice. It is estimated that about 10.2 million children and youth, ages 017 years, in the United States alone have special health care needs and while this group constitutes only about 14% of the childhood population, they account for 40% or more of medical expenditures for children. As reflected in this book there are a growing number of programs and projects from around the world that are developing and implementing innovative approaches to promoting successful health care transitions. The authors hope that the information and discussions provided will stimulate your interest and encourage you to take action to improve health care transition related services and supports for adolescents and young adults with special health care needs.

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.
