La dépendance à l'alcool est une maladie chronique fréquente aux conséquences multiples qui nécessite un suivi à long terme. Le Service de la santé publique du canton de Vaud a décidé de mettre en place, sur l'ensemble du canton, un dispositif d'indication et de suivi alcoologique coordonné. Les buts d'un tel dispositif, exposé dans le présent article, sont de standardiser l'évaluation, la prise en charge et le suivi des patients alcoolo-dépendants, d'augmenter l'accessibilité aux soins en favorisant des approches thérapeutiques moins lourdes, et d'assurer une meilleure transition entre les structures résidentielles et le réseau ambulatoire. Ce dispositif vise à offrir une meilleure accessibilité aux soins spécialisés, à améliorer la rétention au traitement et une réduction des rechutes.

The McIsaac scoring system is a tool designed to predict the probability of streptococcal pharyngitis in children aged 3 to 17 years with a sore throat. Although it does not allow the physician to make the diagnosis of streptococcal pharyngitis, it enables to identify those children with a sore throat in whom rapid antigen detection tests have a good predictive value.

Endoscopy constitutes an important investigation in the presence of a gastro-oesophageal reflux. The primary intention is to exclude the possibility of an organic pathology, for example cancer, which has not been demonstrated by other investigative procedures. Accordingly it must provide a detailed exploration of the whole superior digestive tract, from the mouth to the duodenum. Secondly, endoscopy must establish the consequence of the reflux on the mucosa of the lower oesophagus both by a macroscopic and a detailed microscopic description. Peptic lesions are classified according to 4 degrees of severity. The difficulty in evaluating the very early lesions (1st degree) and the advanced stages (4th degree) necessitates systematic biopsies of the lesions. The erythroplasic type of carcinoma in situ can present the same endoscopic changes as a 1st degree peptic lesion, whereas the exclusion of an adenocarcinoma constitutes the major preoccupation at the time of endoscopy of a 4th degree oesophagitis.
