Answering patients' evolving, more complex needs has been recognized as a main incentive for the development of interprofessional care. Thus, it is not surprising that patient-centered practice (PCP) has been adopted as a major outcome for interprofessional education. Nevertheless, little research has focused on how PCP is perceived across the professions. This study aimed to address this issue by adopting a phenomenological approach and interviewing three groups of professionals: social workers (n = 10), nurses (n = 10) and physicians (n = 8). All the participants worked in the same department (the General Internal Medicine department of a university affiliated hospital). Although the participants agreed on a core meaning of PCP as identifying, understanding and answering patients' needs, they used many dimensions to define PCP. Overall, the participants expressed value for PCP as a philosophy of care, but there was the sense of a hierarchy of patient-centeredness across the professions, in which both social work and nursing regarded themselves as more patient-centered than others. On their side, physicians seemed inclined to accept their lower position in this hierarchy. Gieryn's concept of boundary work is employed to help illuminate the nature of PCP within an interprofessional context.

This article details the use of photographic rectification as support for the graphic documentation of historical and archaeological heritage and specifically the southern facade of the Torre del Pretori (Praetorium Tower) in Tarragona. The Praetorium Tower is part of a larger monumental complex and one of the towers that connected different parts of the Tarraco Provincial Forum, the politic-administrative centre of the ancient capital of Hispania Citerioris. It is therefore a valuable example of the evolution of Roman urban architecture. The aim of this project is to provide accurate graphic documentation of the structure to facilitate the restoration and conservation of the tower, as well as to provide a more profound architectural and archaeological understanding of the Roman forum. The use of photographic rectification enabled us to overcome the spatial and time difficulties involved in collecting data caused by the size and location of the building. Specific software made it easier to obtain accurate two-dimensional images. For this reason, in our case, photographic rectification helped us to make a direct analysis of the monument and facilitated interpretation of the architectural stratigraphy. We currently separate the line of research into two concepts: the construction processes and the architecture of the building. The documentation collected permitted various analyses: the characterisation of the building modules, identification of the tools used to work the building materials, etc. In conclusion, the use of orthoimages is a powerful tool that permits the systematic study of a Roman building that has evolved over the centuries and is now in a modern urban context.

Management of elderly patients with delirium or dementia in Swiss nursing homes Dementia and delirium are among the most frequent medical conditions in older nursing home residents. Their management require a coordinated interdisciplinary approach, including for drug prescription. Using a systematic literature review of published meta-analyses and guidelines, prescription algorithms were developed adressing the pharmacological management of cognitive symptoms of dementia and delirium in older nursing home residents in the canton of Fribourg.

Les nonagénaires et centenaires voient actuellement leur nombre augmenter considérablement, beaucoup d'entre eux vivant en maison de retraite. Pour cette population, on dispose de très peu de données au sujet de la Symptomatologie psychiatrique et des capacités cognitives autres que mnésiques. Cette étude exploratoire se concentre sur l'anosognosie et ses liens avec les symptômes psychiatriques et cognitifs courants. Cinquante-huit sujets âgés de 90 ans ou plus ont été recrutés dans des établissements médico-sociaux gériatriques et divisés en 5 groupes selon le Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Les évaluations incluent le test des 5 mots, le CLOX, les fluences lexicales et catégorielles, le questionnaire d'anosognosie- démence (AQ-D), l'inventaire neuropsychiatrique (NPI) et l'index de comorbidité de Charlson. Les sujets étudiés présentent une atteinte cognitive modérée, le MMSE moyen (±DS) étant à 15.41 ± 7.04. L'anosognosie augmente avec l'atteinte cognitive, étant associée avec tous les domaines cognitifs, mais aussi avec les symptômes psychopathologiques d'apathie et d'agitation. Les sujets ayant une atteinte cognitive légère semblent moins anosognosiques que ceux avec l'atteinte cognitive la plus faible ou ceux ne présentant aucune atteinte. Ni l'anosognosie ni les symptômes psychopathologiques ne sont liés aux comorbidités somatiques. Chez les résidents très âgés étudiés vivant en maison de retraite, l'anosognosie est principalement légère. Elle est associée à des changements cognitifs, mais aussi psychopathologiques. Des investigations supplémentaires sont toutefois nécessaires pour déterminer s'il existe un lien causal entre l'anosognosie et les atteintes psychopathologiques.
