Im Rahmen der Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Walliser Krebsregister (WKR), dem Walliser Gesundheitsobservatorium (WGO) und dem Walliser Departement Onkologie wurde beschlossen, eine Studie über die Epidemiologie und die Behandlung von Brustkrebs im Wallis zwischen 2008 und 2010 durchzuführen. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Häufigkeit, die Art der Entdeckung, die Behandlungen sowie die 1- und 2-JahresÜberlebensraten von Brustkrebs im Wallis zu beschreiben. Brustkrebs ist die häufigste Krebserkrankung und die zweithäufigste Krebstodesursache bei den Frauen im Wallis. Zwischen 2008 und 2010 wurden im Wallis 836 Fälle von Brustkrebs diagnostiziert. 90% der Karzinome sind invasiv und 10% in situ. Das Durchschnittsalter bei der Diagnosestellung beträgt 62 Jahre. 10% der Karzinome befinden sich im Stadium 0 (Carcinoma in situ), 38% im Stadium I, 36% im Stadium II, 10% im Stadium III und 4% im Stadium IV. 55% der Fälle werden durch ein individuelles (31%) oder organisiertes (23%) Screening entdeckt. 78% der Fälle werden an einem Tumorboard besprochen.

Background: Disease management, a system of coordinated health care interventions for populations with chronic diseases in which patient self-care is a key aspect, has been shown to be effective for several conditions. Little is known on the supply of disease management programs in Switzerland. Objectives: To systematically search, record and evaluate data on existing disease management programs in Switzerland. Methods: Programs met our operational definition of disease management if their interventions targeted a chronic disease, included a multidisciplinary team and lasted at least 6 months. To find existing programs, we searched Swiss official websites, Swiss web-pages using Google, medical electronic database (Medline), and checked references from selected documents. We also contacted personally known individuals, those identified as possibly working in the field, individuals working in major Swiss health insurance companies and people recommended by previously contacted persons (snow ball strategy). We developed an extraction grid and collected information pertaining to the following 8 domains: patient population, intervention recipient, intervention content, delivery personnel, method of communication, intensity and complexity, environment and clinical outcomes (measures?). Results: We identified 8 programs fulfilling our operational definition of disease management. Programs targeted patients with diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, obesity, alcohol dependence, psychiatric disorders or breast cancer, and were mainly directed towards patients. The interventions were multifaceted and included education in almost all cases. Half of the programs included regularly scheduled follow-up, by phone in 3 instances. Healthcare professionals involved were physicians, nurses, case managers, social workers, psychologists and dietitians. None fulfilled the 6 criteria established by the Disease Management Association of America. Conclusions: Our study shows that disease management programs, in a country with universal health insurance coverage and little incentive to develop new healthcare strategies, are scarce, although we may have missed existing programs. Nonetheless, those already implemented are very interesting and rather comprehensive. Appropriate evaluation of these programs should be performed in order to build upon them and try to design a generic disease management framework suited to the Swiss healthcare system.

Dans le cadre de l'activité professionnelle, des facteurs de stress d'ordre psychologique, social, et liés à l'organisation du travail, peuvent induire des réponses physiologiques et comportementales impliquées dans la survenue de pathologies comme les maladies cardiovasculaires, les troubles de la santé mentale et les troubles musculosquelettiques.Le Régime social des indépendants (RSI) a sollicité l'Inserm afin de disposer d'un bilan des connaissances sur le stress d'origine professionnelle chez les travailleurs indépendants et ses répercussions sur la santé.Regroupant à la fois des compétences en biologie, psychologie, sociologie et économie de la santé, cette expertise collective présente les modèles et les mécanismes explicatifs mettant en relation le stress au travail et les principales pathologies.Les stratégies de prévention individuelle et collective qui se développent dans le milieu des travailleurs salariés peuvent-elles être adaptées aux travailleurs indépendants ?

BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia has been described in HCV infection even in the absence of cirrhosis and splenomegaly. Different mechanisms have been proposed, including immunemediated platelet (plt) destruction. Here, we report on the treatment of 3 patients with HCV-HIV coinfection and HCVinduced severe thrombocytopenia. PATIENTS AND TREATMENT: All patients had an infection with HCV genotype 3, an intermediate fibrosis stage (Metavir F2 or F3), HIV infection controlled by antiretroviral combination therapy, and severe, steroid-refractory thrombocytopenia. Pegylated interferon-α2a (PEG-IFN-α2a) was started at 45 or 90 μg per week and doses were rapidly increased in the following, while ribavirin (RBV) was prescribed at standard doses. Treatment was pursued for 48 weeks. Two patients received intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) during the first weeks of PEG-IFN-α2a and RBV combination therapy. RESULTS: A significant increase in plt counts (from 17, 39 and 37 G/l, respectively, to > 100 G/l) was observed in the 3 patients while they experienced a virological response. Thrombocytopenia relapsed in one patient together with a relapse of chronic hepatitis C. The other 2 patients achieved a sustained virological response (SVR), with normal plt counts at follow-up in one and persistent mild thrombocytopenia in the other. CONCLUSIONS: Carefully titrated PEG-IFN-α2a and RBV combination therapy may be performed safely in this difficult-totreat patient population, with close monitoring and eventually concomitant IVIG during the first weeks. SVR can lead to normalization or significant improvement of plt counts, suggesting a causative role of HCV in this condition.
