During 2008, we selected 8 studies of interest. It seems important to continue to treat high tension for old patients. To give a good medication against pain, to maintain activity and to reassure patient is the treatment for acute back pain; surgery for spinal stenosis has better results than other treatments at two years of evolution. Pregabalin seems to provide clinically benefit to patients with fibromyalgia. Helicobacter pylori test and treat has the same results than proton pomp inhibitor in initial management of dyspepsia; extending triple therapy beyond 7 days is unlikely to be a clinical useful strategy. Syphilis testing algorithms using treponemal tests for initial screening could be inversed. Finally, selective reporting of clinical trials results for antidepressant are relatively frequent.

Despite two international studies, there is still no consensus concerning prostate cancer screening. The results of a meta-analysis are making us question our convictions concerning pneumococcal vaccination. The preoperative work-up of cataract surgery can be simplified. When describing the efficacy of a treatment to a patient, relative risks are better understood than absolute risks. For rotator cuff syndrome, intramuscular corticosteroid injections are as efficient as intra-articular injections. In patients prescribed clopidogrel, a proton pump inhibitor is not absolutely necessary. The arrival of a anticoagulant that does not need blood monitoring is an interesting option in atrial fibrillation.

Progress in genomics with, in particular, high throughput next generation sequencing is revolutionizing oncology. The impact of these techniques is seen on the one hand the identification of germline mutations that predispose to a given type of cancer, allowing for a personalized care of patients or healthy carriers and, on the other hand, the characterization of all acquired somatic mutation of the tumor cell, opening the door to personalized treatment targeting the driver oncogenes. In both cases, next generation sequencing techniques allow a global approach whereby the integrality of the genome mutations is analyzed and correlated with the clinical data. The benefits on the quality of care delivered to our patients are extremely impressive.

From our reading over the current year 2010 we have singled out 8 items which seem to us significant for the practice of medicine. Small doses of colchicine are useful in the treatment of gout. No efficacious treatment for muscular cramps can be recommended. A cervical collar can be usefully prescribed for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. A single dose of azithromycin can be envisaged as a third line treatment of syphilis. High doses of vitamin D should not be prescribed for the prevention of fractures in elderly women because of the risks of falling. The wearing of bifocals can be associated with these risks. A clinical score is available to help with the diagnosis of thoracic pain. The NT-pro BNP is of limited use for the follow-up of patients suffering from heart failure.

Internists must regularly adjust their patients care according to recent relevant publications. The chief residents from the Department of Internal Medicine of a university hospital present some major themes of internal medicine treated during the year 2009. Emphasis will be placed primarily on changes in the daily hospital practice induced by these recent studies. This variety of topics illustrates both the broad spectrum of the current internal medicine, and the many uncertainties associated with modern medical practice based on evidence.

Quaternary prevention aims to protect the patient or population against overmedicalisation. Quaternary prevention influences all the activities of family medicine by questioning the utility of primary prevention and early diagnosis, identifying the risks of creating new pathological entities and practicing a maximalist medicine. Family doctors can support quaternary prevention by focusing on their patients' priorities and the local resources of an efficient health system.

Quels rapports entretiennent travail et santé et quel type de recherche faut-il entreprendre pourétudier cette relation? Cet article vise à présenter les transformations de la recherche au niveau de l'interface travail/santé et essaye, à partir de là, de déterminer en quoi consiste aujourd'hui la recherche en santé au travail.

The international recommendations issued by GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) have undergone considerable adaptations over the last years. This article proposes the local adaptation of those guidelines bearing on the practical aspects of the treatment for the general practitioner's use. One of the fundamental changes in these new guidelines on good practice relates to the permanent adaptation of the treatment on the basis of symptom control rather than on the severity of the asthma. Another change from the old recommendations concerns the manner in which the asthma is categorised into different phases.

Résumé La psychiatrie de consultation-liaison (CL) connaît depuis une décennie un essor majeur en Europe sous l'impulsion des recherches multicentriques du groupe European Consultation Liaison Psychiatry - ECLVV (Huyse). En Suisse, la discipline reste à développer par manque de consultants spécialisés selon le rapport 2000 de l'Association des professeurs titulaires de chaires. Néanmoins une harmonisation progressive des standards européens de documentation et d'évaluation apparaît progressivement, notamment dans les travaux du Service de Psychiatrie de Liaison du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois. Afin d'améliorer sa pratique de consultation-liaison qui restait jusqu'alors frustrante par un sentiment de débordement et d'absence de feed-back des interventions, le Centre Psychosocial Neuchâtelois de La Chaux-de-Fonds (CPS) a constitué une base de données informatisée de CL à des fins de recherche-action selon les recommandations du groupe ECLVV. Nous avons comparé les valeurs de prévalence de notre activité de CL dans le service de médecine interne de l'Hôpital de La Chaux-de-Fonds en 1994, année du début de l'informatisation des données du CPS, et en 1998, année des plus récents résultats exploitables. La taille de l'échantillon était de 78 cas pour 1994 et de 108 cas pour 1998. Les résultats de notre étude épidémiologique rétrospective et descriptive montraient une augmentation en volume des demandes de CL, une diversification et une complexification des cas. Cette charge croissante sur la psychiatrie de consultation-liaison s'observait également dans les données de la littérature. La réponse psychiatrique du CPS montrait une modestie de moyens et du pragmatisme dans le style des interventions. Ces dernières étaient essentiellement de nature de psychiatrie générale et d'urgence, focalisée sur les tentatives de suicides. Les tentamens, ici comme ailleurs, restent le noyau dur de toute pratique de psychiatrie à l'hôpital général. L'état de lieu de notre pratique de consultation-liaison issu de ce travail a permis de créer une base de données simplifée étendue à l'ensemble des demandes de consultation au CPS afin de réguler le flux de toutes ses interventions face aux demandes toujours croissantes. Dans ce sens, notre étude a montré la nécessité de formaliser les demandes de consultation psychiatrique à l'hôpital général afin d'optimaliser les réponses des consultants.
