Willingness to pay for a cure of low-risk melanoma patients in Germany
2018
Malignant melanoma is potentially life-threatening but in most cases curable if detected early. Willingness to pay (WTP) is a preference-based construct that reflects burden of disease by assessment of the monetary value for a hypothetical cure from disease. Since WTP (directly as total amount of money) has not been assessed so far in patients with low risk melanoma, it was interesting to gain insights in this patient population and then, in a second step, compare it directly with the WTP of their treating dermato-oncologists. WTP was assessed in 125 patients with low-risk melanoma and additionally in 105 treating physicians, asking for the one-time and continuous payments they would be wil…

The outbreak of Chikungunya in Reunion in 2005/2006 surprised by its intensity and by the appearance of serious forms. It has left health professionals and relatively poor populations facing the lack of appropriate treatment. From the example of Chikungunya, the general objective of our multidisciplinary research was to study how two types of factors interact in the management of a vector-based disease: those related to representations and knowledge of the disease, and those related to to the perception of the environment. In this poster, we present the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in November 2007 among the inhabitants of a district of Ravine des Cabris (Commune of St Pierre…

Medici del re nella Sicilia aragonese
2013
Dall'ipocondriaco Giacomo II a Martino I, tra XIV e XV secolo la casa aragonese-siciliana si caratterizza per un legame privilegiato ed esclusivo tra medico e sovrano. Uno scenario composto in prevalenza da medici famosi dell'Italia centro-settentrionale, professori di esperienza e saggezza che sono attirati a trasferirsi nell'isola, vista la scarsità quantitativa e qualitativa dei medici locali. Interessati a inserirsi nei gangli della vita di corte, i siciliani si mostrano abili a individuare le strategie migliori per tutelare e accrescere incarichi di prestigio, visibilità, privilegi: garantiti - in cambio di una disponibilità di capitali, fondamentale in periodi di scarsa liquidità - da…
