Evaluation à l'aide d'un livre de bord des compétences cliniques acquises par des stagiaires en médecine. [Evaluation using a logbook of mastering of clinical skills by medical students]

La maîtrise des compétences cliniques est extrêmement importante pour le médecin. Leur enseignement est aujourd'hui facilité grâce à la disponibilité du «Swiss Catalogue of Learning Objectives for Undergraduate Medical Training» où sont décrits les niveaux de compétence à atteindre au terme des études de médecine. Un carnet de bord a été préparé à la Faculté de biologie et de médecine de Lausanne à partir de ce document. Il a permis de mettre en évidence chez les étudiants une très nette amélioration de la maîtrise des compétences cliniques entre le début et la fin des stages en médecine interne, chirurgie/orthopédie, pédiatrie, gynécologie/obstétrique et psychiatrie. Un tel outil devrait permettre dans l'avenir de mieux guider l'apprentissage des étudiants et de suivre leurs progrès à chaque étape du curriculum. [Abstract] The mastering of the clinical skills is of utmost importance for the physician. The teaching of the skills is nowadays made easier with the <<Swiss Catalogue of Learning Objectives for Undergraduate Medical Training>> which lists all the skills and their respective level of expected mastering at graduation. In order to do a survey on how good the students are at those skills, a logbook based on this document has been setup at the Faculty of biology and medicine of the University of Lausanne. This has shown that students went through a clear progression of the mastering of the skills during their elective year in internal medicine, surgery/orthopaedics, paediatric, obstetric and gynaecology as well as psychiatry. Such an instrument should in the future help to better guide the learning process of the clinical skills and to do a better follow-up of their progress.

Issues in blood pressure control and the potential role of single-pill combination therapies.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, yet only a small proportion of hypertensive individuals receive appropriate therapy and achieve target blood pressure (BP) values. Factors influencing the success of antihypertensive therapy include physicians' acceptance of guideline BP targets, the efficacy and tolerability of the drug regimen, and patient compliance and persistence with therapy. It is now well recognised that most hypertensive patients require at least two antihypertensive agents to achieve their target BP. However, complicated treatment regimens are a major contributory factor to poor patient compliance. The use of combination therapy for HTN offers a number of advantages over the use of monotherapy, including improved efficacy, as drug combinations with a synergistic mechanism of action can be used. This additive effect means that lower doses of the individual components can be used, which may translate into a decreased likelihood of adverse events. The use of single-pill combination therapy, in which two or more agents are combined in a single dosage form, offers all the benefits of free combination therapy (improved efficacy and tolerability over monotherapy) together with the added benefit of improved patient compliance because of the simplified treatment regimen. The use of single-pill combination therapy may also be associated with cost savings compared with the use of free combinations for reasons of cheaper drug costs, fewer physician visits and fewer hospitalisations for uncontrolled HTN and cardiovascular events. Thus, the use of single-pill combination therapy for HTN should help improve BP goal attainment through improved patient compliance, leading to reduced costs for cardiovascular-related care.

Der Erfolg der Spiritualität. Gesellschaftsentwicklung und Transzendenzerfahrung am Beispiel der Schweiz

(Résumé de l'ouvrage) Viele Menschen sind heute auf der Suche nach Sinn und Orientierung in einer Gesellschaft, die geprägt ist von Säkularisierung und Individualisierung. Die kirchlichen Glaubenssysteme scheinen ihre bindende Kraft verloren zu haben. Sie werden zunehmend von individuellen Wegen und kleinen Weggemeinschaften abgelöst. Der vorliegende Sammelband reflektiert diesen Wandel aus den Blickwinkeln der Wissenschaft und der spirituellen Praxis. Spiritualität und Wissenschaft sind zwei unterschiedliche Ansätze, die Welt zu erfahren und zu erklären. Die gegenseitige Skepsis macht jedoch den Dialog schwierig. Das Projekt "Spiritualität und Wissenschaft" hat Sachverständige beider Bereiche zum Gespräch zusammengeführt: In ihren Beiträgen wagen Manager, Soziologen, Theologinnen, Philosophen, Mediziner, Mönche und spirituelle Lehrerinnen Definitionen und berichten über ihre Untersuchungen und Erfahrungen. Indem sie die Beziehungen zwischen Spiritualität und Religion, Medizin, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft ausleuchten, skizzieren sie ein differenziertes Bild der beiden Wirklichkeitsbeschreibungen und ihres Wechselspiels bei der Erfassung der "Realität". Der Band beruht auf einer gleichnamigen Veranstaltungsreihe des Forums für Universität und Gesellschaft der Universität Bern. Er wird ergänzt durch eine CD mit einer Sendung von Radio "chrüz u quer" zu den projektbegleitenden Workshops über spirituelle Wege.

Les combinaisons fixes de medicaments antihypertenseurs. [Fixed antihypertensive drug combinations]

Arterial hypertension is a highly heterogeneous condition. It is therefore not surprising that blood pressure lowering agents acting via a given mechanism allow a normalization of blood pressure in a fraction of hypertensive subjects only. The combination of drugs with different mechanisms of action on the cardiovascular system results in a considerably higher antihypertensive efficacy, not only with regard to the absolute blood pressure reduction but also in the number of responders. This effect is not achieved at the expenses of tolerance, because usually lower doses of the combined agents are sufficient to achieve the target blood pressure. The administration of antihypertensive agents in fixed combination has the advantage of its simplicity for both the physician as well as the patient. This aspect also explains the increasing popularity of fixed combinations as a valuable option in the initial treatment of the hypertensive patient.

Vers un accès a des soins de qualité pour les personnes lesbiennes, gays, bisexuelles et transgenres [Access to quality primary care for LGBT people].

This article offers a comprehensive approach to the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, where respect for diversity and non judgemental care play a central role. It calls for a health and medical vision that goes beyond HIV risk. For those who never had to question their own sexual orientation or gender identity, it is certainly difficult to understand how the discovery of one's identity trait in childhood or early adolescence can be transformed under social pressure into a burden which often remains invisible but is associated with considerable emotional and medical morbidity. This article raises the following question: How many LGBT patients go unnoticed every week, leaving the physician's office without an opportunity to receive appropriate listening, support and care?

Pédiatrie. 5. Le partage de l'information médicale en 2012 [Pediatrics. Sharing of the medical letter with the patient].

Some paediatrics centres routinely send the medical consultation letter not only to the primary or referring physician but to the patient and his/her family as well. This way of sharing medical information is appreciated not only by the patients themselves but also by a majority of physicians.

Activité physique et sportive à l'adolescence: un défi pour les médecins, un défi pour la société. [Sports activity during adolescence: a challenge for health professionals and for the society]

The rate of teenagers who engage in sports activity on a regular basis has decreased since ten years, whereas the rate of overweight and obesity is steadily increasing. This paper discusses the meaning as well as the limits of sports activity during adolescence. Guidelines for sports participation include: a discussion of the frequency and duration of sports training sessions, which have to be adapted to the growth and pubertal stage of the adolescent. Any symptoms suggesting overuse should be tackled seriously. Physician's counselling in the field of protective behaviour (injury prevention) is effective. Finally, the majority of chronic conditions are compatible with moderate sports activity.

Antecedents, psychiatric characteristics and follow-up of adolescents hospitalized for suicide attempt of overwhelming suicidal ideation.

To evaluate the socio-demographic as well as the health and psychiatric profiles of adolescents hospitalised for suicide attempt or overwhelming suicide ideation and to assess repetition of suicide attempt over a period of 18 months. Between April 2000 and September 2001, all patients aged 16 to 21 years admitted to the University Hospitals of Geneva and Lausanne for suicide attempt or ideation were included in the study. At this time (T0) semi-structured face to face interviews were conducted to identify socio-demographic data, mental health and antecedents regarding suicidal conducts. Current psychiatric status was assessed with the MINI (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Instrument). At T1 and T2, reassessments included psychiatric status (MINI) as well as lifestyles, socio-professional situation and suicidal behaviours. At T0, 269 subjects met the study criteria, among whom 83 subjects (56 girls and 27 boys) left the hospital too quickly to be involved or refused to participate in the study (final sample at T0: 149 girls; 37 boys). The participation rate at T1 and T2 was respectively 66% and 62% of the original sample. The percentage of adolescents meeting the criteria for psychiatric diagnoses (91%) was high: affective disorder (78%); anxiety disorder (64%); substance use disorder (39%); eating disorder (9%); psychotic disorder (11%); antisocial personality (7%) with most subjects (85%) having more than one disorder. Around 90% of the subjects interviewed at T1, and/or T2, had received follow-up care after their hospitalisation, either by a primary care physician or a psychotherapist or both. Two subjects died of violent death and 18% made a further suicide attempt. Most adolescents hospitalised for suicidal episodes suffer from psychiatric problems which should be addressed by a careful psychiatric assessment, followed up if needed by a structured after care plan.
