Pharmacogenomics of HIV Therapy: Summary of a Workshop Sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Approximately 1 million people in the United States and over 30 million worldwide are living with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). While mortality from untreated infection approaches 100%, survival improves markedly with use of contemporary antiretroviral therapies (ART). In the United States, 25 drugs are approved for treating HIV-1, and increasing numbers are available in resource-limited countries. Safe and effective ART is a cornerstone in the global struggle against the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Variable responses to ART are due at least in part to human genetic variants that affect drug metabolism, drug disposition, and off-site drug targets. Defining effects of human genetic variants on HIV treatment toxicity, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics has far-reaching implications. In 2010, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases sponsored a workshop entitled, Pharmacogenomics A Path Towards Personalized HIV Care. This article summarizes workshop objectives, presentations, discussions, and recommendations derived from this meeting.

Destigmatizing Child and Adolescent Mental Health through Group Chat: A Workshop to Support the Emotional and Social Needs of Youth

The purpose of this project was to raise awareness surrounding child and adolescent mental health in an effort to reduce preconceived stigmas in relation to this specialized field. This project presented a literature review of the current state of child and adolescent mental health in Canada today, including the prevalence and several treatment options for young people confronting mental health challenges. Consideration of the powerful role of the education system upon youth with mental health issues became evident, specifically regarding early identification and prevention. A needs assessment was conducted to gather feedback from the clinical practitioners of a Section 23 classroom within a Southern Ontario hospital. This assessment was used to develop an informational and pedagogical workshop resource to extend practitioner understanding of this pertinent issue and support the social and emotional needs of young people confronting mental heath challenges. Results of the assessment indicated the significant need for such a workshop resource, and these responses were used to guide the development of Group Chat: A Workshop to Support the Emotional and Social Needs of Youth. The latter was subsequently presented to participants, whereby evaluative questionnaires indicated the efficacy and usefulness of this workshop resource to both practitioners and students alike.

Swimming upstream: navigating ethical practices in the creation of a participatory youth media workshop

Despite the growing popularity of participatory video as a tool for facilitating youth empowerment, the methodology and impacts of the practice are extremely understudied. This paper describes a study design created to examine youth media methodology and the ethical dilemmas that arose in its attempted implementation. Specifically, elements that added “rigor” to the study (i.e., randomization, pre- and post-measures, and an intensive interview) conflicted with the fundamental tenets of youth participation. The paper concludes with suggestions for studying participatory media methodologies that are more in line with an ethics of participation.

L'investissement socialement responsable imposé aux gérants de portefeuille: vrai réforme ou faux semblant de la loi "Grenelle II" en faveur de l'ISR?

L’article L. 214-12 du Code monétaire et financier modifié par la loi du 12 juillet 2010 portant engagement national pour l’environnement met à la charge des SICAV et des sociétés de gestion une obligation de prendre en compte et de divulguer les critères extrafinanciers utilisés dans leur choix d’investissement. Cette réforme législative vient enrichir la thématique de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises devenue aujourd’hui incontournable en s’intéressant à son aspect financier : l’investissement socialement responsable (ISR). Destinée à donner de l’ampleur à l’économie verte, cette position rompt avec la posture traditionnelle réservée que le droit français observait en la matière. Toutefois, elle est dans le droit fil de nombreuses réglementations étrangères et de recommandations d’organisations et d’associations professionnelles tant nationales qu’internationales mais dans le même temps va bien au-delà. Cette étude analyse le corpus et les implications de la nouvelle rédaction de l’article L. 214-12 du Code monétaire et financier. Bien que cette évolution issue de la « Loi Grenelle II » augure de conséquences positives pour l’avenir de la finance responsable, elle laisse place à de nombreux doutes susceptibles d’empêcher le droit de produire les effets désirés.
