Effect of different solutions in reversing the damage caused by radiotherapy in dentin structure
2020
Background Previous studies have shown that radiotherapy of the head and neck region can cause direct changes in dental structure. This study evaluated the effect of different solutions on the dentin chemical composition and collagen structure of irradiated dentin. Material and Methods Sixty maxillary canines were distributed in 2 groups (n=30): non-irradiated and irradiated (radiotherapy: X-rays of 6 MV in 30 cycles of 2 Gy to 60 Gy). The teeth were sectioned, sanded, and polished to obtain 3x3x2 mm fragments, which were redistributed in 3 subgroups (n=10) according to the treatment employed: chlorhexidine 2% (CL), chitosan 0.2% (QT), and 0.5 M carbodiimide (EDC). The samples were analyzed…
The montrachet study
2016
National audience; Summary The Montrachet Study (Maculopathy Optic Nerve nuTRition neurovAsCular and HEarT diseases) is a population‐based derived from the 3C Study performed in Dijon. In 2009–2011, 1153 participants from the 3 Cities Study, aged 75 years or more, had an initial eye examination. Apart from the old age of this population, the main interest is that information on cardiovascular and neurologic diseases and a large comprehensive database (blood samples, genetic testing, cognitive tests, MRI) were available. Our first results showed us that despite the high prevalence of self‐reported eye diseases in this elderly population, visual impairment was low and increased with age. Thes…
L’impact psychologique de la douleur en soins palliatifs : entre majoration de l’angoisse de mort et renforcement du sentiment d’existence, un impact…
2018
Resume La prise en charge de la douleur en soins palliatifs est une priorite. En effet, la presence d’un ressenti algique engendre chez le patient des repercussions importantes tant au niveau physique que psychologique. Les retentissements de la douleur sur la sphere psychique s’averent multiples, allant de la majoration de l’angoisse de mort au gel de la capacite de penser. Toutefois, paradoxalement, bien que la douleur perturbe le patient dans ses fondations existentielles, elle peut parfois presenter des fonctions au sein de la dynamique psychique. Cet article vise a questionner les retentissements psychologiques de la douleur en soins palliatifs, a interroger les fonctions que cette der…
Évolution du concept d’alliance thérapeutique en psychanalyse, de Freud à Renik
2012
Resume L’alliance therapeutique se definit comme la collaboration mutuelle, un partenariat, entre le patient et le therapeute dans le but d’accomplir les objectifs fixes. Ce concept a pris naissance en psychanalyse ou il a donne lieu a d’intenses debats. Nous proposons une synthese de ces debats, depuis les premieres intuitions de Freud jusqu’a l’actuel courant d’intersubjectivite. Ceci permet de mettre a jour les arguments d’une question qui n’est finalement pas tranchee, mais qui trouve cependant une voie d’expression dans les recherches portant sur les therapies breves analytiques. En effet, la confrontation d’idee a essentiellement porte autour du fait de savoir si la notion d’alliance …
Evaluación de la adaptación de los ítems de consumo del AUDIT para mejor el cribado de Binge Drinking en universitarios
2019
The strong presence of Binge Drinking (BD) amongst university students, as well as the consequences associated with the same and the changes taking place over recent years regarding its conceptualization make it necessary to examine the usefulness of screening instruments used to detect this drinking pattern. This study examines the usefulness of a briefer adaptation of the AUDIT proposed by Cortes, Gimenez, Motos, and Sancerni (2017a). College students self-administered the AUDIT, the revised items 2 and 3 (A2r and A3r), and completed a weekly self-report of their alcohol intake. BD was classified according to the amount consumed and the frequency of that consumption over the past six mont…
Gender differences on the WAIS-IV in patients with schizophrenia
2021
Introduccion Los resultados de los estudios que han investigado diferencias de genero en funcionamiento neuropsicologico en la esquizofrenia han sido inconsistentes. Diferencias en la fase de la enfermedad, en las caracteristicas demograficas y clinicas de las muestras y en los instrumentos utilizados podrian explicar esa heterogeneidad. Objetivo Investigar la heterogeneidad en los resultados comparando el funcionamiento cognitivo de pacientes con diagnostico de esquizofrenia. Metodo Veinticinco mujeres y veinticinco hombres pacientes con diagnostico de esquizofrenia equiparados en edad, edad al inicio de la enfermedad y nivel educativo se evaluaron en funcionamiento cognitivo utilizando la…
Incertitude et présentification en hypnose clinique
2018
Nous proposons d’analyser une situation clinique dans une perspective de psychothérapie intégrative. Nous nous inscrivons dans le cadre de différentes approches : humaniste, psychodynamique, cognitive et comportementale, hypnose et EMDR. Dans ce contexte, nous présentons le parcours d’une patiente dont les réactions ont nécessité des aménagements du cadre thérapeutique et un changement de référentiel théorique. Nous sommes passés avec Mme Barnes d’un travail centré sur les cognitions et les comportements à une approche sensorielle et expérientielle par hypnose. La thérapie a initialement ciblé une symptomatologie anxieuse pour finalement se développer sur un versant existentiel intégrant la…
Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in an Elderly Patient with Comorbidities
2020
Abstract Subdural hemorrhage is usually caused by a traumatic injury. Other risk factors that may lead to subdural hemorrhage include: hypertension, anticoagulants, elderly, alcohol abuse, vascular abnormalities etc. Mortality range is between 50% and 90% depending on age, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and anticoagulant treatment. We present a case of 74-year old patient, female, known for diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, chronic heart failure, receiving anticoagulant treatment, bronchial asthma who develops a posttraumatic massive chronic subdural hematoma accompanied by comorbidities.
Building Robustness into Translational Research
2020
AbstractNonclinical studies form the basis for the decision whether to take a therapeutic candidate into the clinic. These studies need to exhibit translational robustness for both ethical and economic reasons. Key findings confirmed in multiple species have a greater chance to also occur in humans. Given the heterogeneity of patient populations, preclinical studies or at least programs comprising multiple studies need to reflect such heterogeneity, e.g., regarding strains, sex, age, and comorbidities of experimental animals. However, introducing such heterogeneity requires larger studies/programs to maintain statistical power in the face of greater variability. In addition to classic sourc…
Typhoid Fever
2008
Typhoid fever continues to be a serious public health problem, with approximately 22. million cases and more than 200. 000 deaths globally. The disease is most often acquired by ingestion of food or water contaminated by the feces and less frequently by urine or vomitus of patients and carriers. Prolonged low-grade fever, headache, dry cough, alterations of bowel habits, coated tongue, and rose spots are the typical clinical features. Definitive diagnosis requires the isolation of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Supportive serological tests are also used. First-choice antibiotic treatment includes fluoroquinolones or third-generation cephalosporins and reduces the mortality rate from 20%…
