The Cost of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) in Europe and USA: The GAIN Study

2019

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver disorders. The progressive form of NAFLD, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), leads to cirrhosis in a proportion of patients and so is associated with a substantial socio-economic burden which, coupled with a steadily rising prevalence, is becoming a growing public health challenge. The Global Assessment of the Impact of NASH (GAIN) study is a socioeconomic, prevalence-based burden of illness study across Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) and the United States to determine the socio-economic burden of NASH in the real-world. Methods: GAIN was a retrospective, cross-sec…

IntroductionIn May 2019, the WHO classified internet gaming disorder (IGD) as a mental disorder in the upcoming International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision. However, individuals affected by IGD or internet use disorders (IUDs) are often not provided with adequate therapy due to a lack of motivation or absence of adequate local treatment options. To close the gap between individuals with IUDs and the care system, we conduct an online-based motivational intervention to reduce problematic internet use and promote treatment motivation in internet gaming disorder and internet use disorder (OMPRIS).Methods and analysisWithin the randomised controlled trial, a total of n=162 participant…

On the Randomisation Gallery:Random Reflections on a Popular Method in Medical Research

2016

Objective: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analysis are increasingly utilized methods in medicine. There is, however, substantial critique on both from the theoretical as well as from the practical side. Methods: Seven points on RCTs and three on meta-analysis were choosen to summarize the current critique. Studies critically reviewing the quality of meta-analyses in various fields of medicine were narratively reviewed. Results: The typical RCT is short, performed on a small group of selected patients without severe comorbidity. It is expensive and favors drugs over other forms of therapies. Furthermore, neither patients nor doctors much like RCTs, they feel restricted in their…

Il consenso del minore al trattamento medico in prospettiva comparatistica: un nuovo soggetto di diritto?

2020

The research analyzes in a comparative perspective the new role recognized to the minor thanks to the juridical relevance of his will with particular reference to some recent jurisprudential rulings both of the Suprême Court, in the English system, and of the Court of Cassation, in the Italian law. In this new perspective, the minor is increasingly considered the centre of imputation of rights and duties and less perceived as a weak subject, whose protection is traditionally entrusted to parents or, in case of their absence, to other substitute figures. In this new approach, the minor seems to play a new juridical subjectivity and his will must be increasingly taken into consideration as i…

This point of view emerged from English case law, in particular from the UK Supreme Court ruling of 26 September 2019 which strengthened the decision-making autonomy of the minor in balancing with parental authority configuring his possible compression as a deprivation of personal freedom, falling within the scope of th…

Du "non-public" d’un Centre de culture scientifique aux appropriations des sciences et techniques

2011

National audience; Dans le cadre d'une recherche de doctorat, nous abordons la place et l'image du musée parmi d'autres pratiques culturelles consacrées aux sciences et tech- niques, dans le quotidien des publics et des « non-publics » de la structure. En proposant une analyse centrée sur les publics individuels des expositions mais aussi des manifestations hors-les-murs, nous nous interrogeons sur les formes d'appropriations non-formelles et informelles des sciences et techniques, et sur la mise en perspective de la visite de ce type d'institution muséale, en mobilisant de façon complémentaire des techniques d'enquêtes quantitatives (question- naires, statistiques) et qualitatives (entreti…
