Validation française d'un questionnaire de stress post-traumatique destiné aux parents d'enfants présentant un risque périnatal élevé = French validation of the "Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire" assessing parent's posttraumatic stress reactions following the birth of a high risk infant.

(from the journal abstract) Objectives: The birth of a high risk infant--such as a very or extremely premature infant--can represent an important traumatic experience for parents. R. DeMier, M. Hynan et al's "Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire" aims at exploring, retrospectively, parent's posttraumatic stress reactions following the birth of a high risk infant. This paper describes the French validation of this questionnaire. Methods: Fifty-two families with a very or extremely premature infant and 25 families with a full term infant responded to the "Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire" and the "Impact of Event Scale" when children were 18 months old. Results: Parents of high risk infants can present posttraumatic stress reactions such as intrusion, avoidance or arousal symptoms. The French version of the "Perinatal PTSD Questionnaire" has satisfactory psychometric properties. Conclusions: As posttraumatic reactions are not directly related to objective descriptions of the stressful event, it may be essential to the liaison child psychiatrist to consider individual posttraumatic reactions in order to optimise preventive intervention with the parents. A questionnaire should not replace a clinical interview, however it may represent a useful screening tool. Also, this questionnaire should be useful for research purposes.

Résistance aux diurétiques de l'anse en clinique [Resistance to loop diuretics in clinical practice]

Loop diuretics belong to the most common medications used in ambulatory and hospitalized patients, especially in situation of hypervolemia and chronic renal failure. Prolonged used of these agents in particular medical conditions can lead to attenuation of their diuretic effect, commonly known as "resistance" to diuretics. This article intends to review the main mechanisms of resistance to loop diuretic and the ways to counteract them in clinical practice.

Conseit aux fumeurs: mise à jour épidémiologique et clinique [Smoking cessation intervention: 2006 update]

Recent Swiss reports confirmed that several chemical products added to cigarettes may increase the level of dependence and therefore the consumption of cigarettes. Observational studies demonstrated the association between smoking and type II diabetes, that smoking one to four cigarettes daily increases significantly the risk of disease and that the relative risk of breast cancer among non smoking women exposed to passive smoking is increased by 30%. The safety of nicotine replacement therapy for patients with cardiovascular disorders has been confirmed. Among new pharmacological approaches, varenicline, rimonabant, topiramate and nicotine vaccine all appear promising.
