This article offers a comprehensive approach to the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, where respect for diversity and non judgemental care play a central role. It calls for a health and medical vision that goes beyond HIV risk. For those who never had to question their own sexual orientation or gender identity, it is certainly difficult to understand how the discovery of one's identity trait in childhood or early adolescence can be transformed under social pressure into a burden which often remains invisible but is associated with considerable emotional and medical morbidity. This article raises the following question: How many LGBT patients go unnoticed every week, leaving the physician's office without an opportunity to receive appropriate listening, support and care?

Après avoir indiqué que les personnes âgées - parmi lesquelles les femmes surtout - risquent d'être particulièrement touchées par d'éventuelles mesures de rationnement des prestations sanitaires, les auteurs insistent sur les affinités entre l'idée de rationnement et l'hygiène sociale. Une recherche empirique conduite en Suisse romande auprès d'individus jeunes et âgés révèle que plus les rapports intergénérationnels sont tendus, plus l'âge apparaît comme un critère de rationnement pertinent pour l'une et l'autre génération. Finalement, les auteurs se prononcent contre le rationnement explicite des prestations sanitaires, cette mesure apparaissant discutable aussi bien sur les plans économique, politique qu'éthique.

Bien que la transition des soins pédiatriques aux soins adultes soit extrêmement importante pour les adolescents souffrant de maladies chroniques, celle-ci se limite le plus souvent à un simple transfert. L'objectif de cet article est de décrire les barrières au bon déroulement de la transition du point de vue du patient et de sa famille, des professionnels de la santé et du système de soins; de détailler les éléments clés pour que la transition soit la moins traumatique possible; et d'énoncer les différentes approches proposées dans la littérature. [Abstract] The transition from pediatric to adult care of chronically ill adolescents Even though the transition from pediatric to adult health care is extremely important for chronically ill adolescents, most of the times it is limited to a simple transfer The objective of this paper is to describe the barriers to a smooth transition from the point of view of the patient and his/her family, the health professionals and the health system, to review the key elements for a smooth transition, and to address the different approaches proposed in the literature.

OsteoLaus is a cohort of 1400 women 50 to 80 years living in Lausanne, Switzerland. Clinical risk factors for osteoporosis, bone ultrasound of the heel, lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD), assessment of vertebral fracture by DXA, and microarchitecture evaluation by TBS (Trabecular Bone Score) will be recorded. TBS is a new parameter obtained after a re-analysis of a DXA exam. TBS is correlated with parameters of microarchitecture. His reproducibility is good. TBS give an added diagnostic value to BMD, and predict osteoporotic fracture (partially) independently to BMD. The position of TBS in clinical routine in complement to BMD and clinical risk factors will be evaluated in the OsteoLaus cohort.

BACKGROUND: In the United States, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed 20 Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) to measure the occurrence of hospital adverse events from medico-administrative data coded according to the ninth revision of the international classification of disease (ICD-9-CM). The adaptation of these PSIs to the WHO version of ICD-10 was carried out by an international consortium. METHODS: Two independent teams transcoded ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes proposed by the AHRQ into ICD-10-WHO. Using a Delphi process, experts from six countries evaluated each code independently, stating whether it was "included", "excluded" or "uncertain". During a two-day meeting, the experts then discussed the codes that had not obtained a consensus, and the additional codes proposed. RESULTS: Fifteen PSIs were adapted. Among the 2569 proposed diagnosis codes, 1775 were unanimously adopted straightaway. The 794 remaining codes and 2541 additional codes were discussed. Three documents were prepared: (1) a list of ICD-10-WHO codes for the 15 adapted PSIs; (2) recommendations to the AHRQ for the improvement of the nosological frame and the coding of PSI with ICD-9-CM; (3) recommendations to the WHO to improve ICD-10. CONCLUSIONS: This work allows international comparisons of PSIs among the countries using ICD-10. Nevertheless, these PSIs must still be evaluated further before being broadly used.

Il existe de multiples instruments d'évaluation du fonctionnement social, de la qualité de vie ou des besoins des patients psychiatriques qui peuvent aider dans l'élaboration des stratégies de traitement. Néanmoins, nombre d'entre eux ne répondent pas toujours aux attentes des cliniciens ou des chercheurs. En réponse à ces limitations, nous avons élaboré une nouvelle échelle de mesure subjective des difficultés et du besoin d'aide, intitulée ELADEB. Sur la base d'une activité de tri de cartes, il est possible en quelques minutes de dresser le profil de difficultés des patients, et de mettre en évidence les domaines dans lesquels ils estiment avoir besoin d'une aide supplémentaire par rapport à celle qui existe peut-être déjà.
