L'alliance coparentale et le développement affectif de l'enfant dans le triangle primaire

Le jeu trilogique de Lausanne permet d'étudier le développement de la communication familiale dès la naissance et de créer des ponts entre l'approche systémique de la famille et la recherche développementale. Cet article décrit comment se construit la communication familiale avant le langage verbal, soulignant l'importance de l'intersubjectivité, de l'alliance coparentale et de la compétence du nourrisson à interagir à trois dès le début. Il en esquisse les implications cliniques.

Les thyroïdites: une approche pour le médecin praticien [Thyroiditis: an approach for the practitioner].

Thyroiditis represent commonly encountered thyroid disorders in clinical medicine. Autoimmune thyroiditis is frequent with various forms: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, subacute thyroiditis with lymphocytic and post-partum variants. In the absence of any changes in volume and function, Hashimoto's thyroiditis can be seen in a setting of a thyroid nodule, elevation of thyroid autoantibodies and by the pathologist in surgical or cytological materials. Presenting with fever, cervical pain and subtle signs of hyperthyroidism, subacute thyroiditis (De Quervain) represents often a challenge for an early recognition and an appropriate treatment. Acute thyroiditis and Riedel's thyroiditis are very uncommon, with cervical mass and pain.

Alcool et comorbidités psychiatriques pour le praticien [Alcohol and psychiatric comorbidities in primary care].

Patients presenting with alcohol-related problems frequently suffer from comorbid mental health problems. From a broader perspective, patients having a comorbid situation between an addiction and a psychiatric trouble are at risk of being underdiagnosed for one of the two diseases. This litterature review tries to outline the issues linked to rigorous psychiatric diagnoses in the alcoologic situation, to describe the epidemiology of alcohol dual diagnosis, and to sum up scientific knowledge about the most adapted medication options and treatment settings.

Substituts épidermiques et dermo-épidermiques vivants pour le traitement des grands brûlés [Living epidermal and dermal substitutes for treatment of severely burned patients]

Epidermal and dermal cells can be multiplied in vitro using different techniques. Under particular conditions, the structure and the function of the original tissues are partly recreated. Autologous epidermal substitutes for wound coverage in deep burns are prepared in less than three weeks. Bilayered skin equivalents containing a dermal component are obtained by growing epidermal cells on a reconstructed dermal substitute or by juxtaposing stratified cultures of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. New technologies are required to optimise the nutrition of three-dimensional cultures of skin cells, which should lead to further progress in the area of skin reconstruction.

Nouveau modèle de remboursement : un plafond pour le prix des traitements innovants très coûteux

Cet article présente le nouveau modèle de remboursement proposé par l'industrie pharmaceutique pour des traitements très coûteux : le "capping model" ou CAP. Les autorités acceptent le remboursement d'un montant plafond et l'industrie prend en charge un éventuel dépassement de coût du traitement.

Scores de mesure fonctionnelle articulaire pour le praticien [Joint functional outcome score for the clinician].

The sports clinician faces multiple treatment options when dealing with overload injuries, and it is important to evaluate their outcomes. Multiple scores exist, some clincian rated (CRO), others patient rated (PRO), the latter being currently favoured. This review presents some of these scores and we selected the ones we feel are the most appropriate for a sports clinician. We considered these common problems: tennis elbow, rotator cuff issues, groin pain, patellofemoral pain syndrome, achilles tendinopathy and ankle instability. In addition, an activity level score is useful to weigh the result in the context of return to performance. These scores help to create a common language between therapists and to evaluate treatments objectively.
