La remédiation cognitive des schizophrènes : le programme RECOS : [guide pour praticiens]

La remédiation cognitive est devenue en quelques années un outil thérapeutique important dans le domaine des maladies psychiatriques, et plus particulièrement dans celui des troubles schizophréniques. Parmi les programmes utilisés, RECOS est l'un des seuls à proposer un entraînement qui tient compte du profil cognitif individuel, permettant ainsi de répondre de manière ciblée à la grande hétérogénéité des déficits observés. Cet ouvrage constitue le support de base indispensable à la formation délivrée aux futurs thérapeutes RECOS. Il se divise en deux parties. La première partie présente les données scientifiques actuelles sur les troubles cognitifs de la schizophrénie et les moyens d'y remédier. Le lien entre les performances cognitives et les capacités fonctionnelles permet de comprendre comment et pourquoi la remédiation cognitive favorise la réinsertion sociale et professionnelle. La deuxième partie fait office de manuel d'utilisation pour tous les thérapeutes (psychologues, psychiatres, infirmiers, ergothérapeutes) souhaitant utiliser RECOS. L'ouvrage décrit les pathologies psychiatriques visées par le programme, la schizophrénie n'étant pas la seule concernée. Il aborde ensuite les différentes étapes du traitement, en consacrant une place importante à 1 'évaluation cognitive et clinique ainsi qu'aux exercices de remédiation. Des cas cliniques illustrent la manière d'adapter le travail thérapeutique au profil cognitif de chaque participant. Afin que le lecteur puisse bénéficier d'un maximum d'informations et de documents pratiques, plusieurs outils nécessaires à 1 'utilisation du programme figurent en annexe de l'ouvrage.

Low Water Stream Crossing: Design and Construction Recommendations; A Selection and Design Guide, February 2003

Most Iowa counties maintain low volume roads with at least one bridge or culvert that is structurally deficient or obsolete. In some counties the percentage of deficient drainage structures may be as high as 62%. Replacement with structures of similar size would require large capital expenditures that many counties cannot afford. Low water stream crossings (LWSCs) may be an acceptable lowcost alternative in some cases.

Testing Guide for Implementing Concrete Paving Quality Control Procedures, March 2008

Construction of portland cement concrete pavements is a complex process. A small fraction of the concrete pavements constructed in the United States over the last few decades have either failed prematurely or exhibited moderate to severe distress. In an effort to prevent future premature failures, 17 state transportation agencies pooled their resources, and a pooled fund research project, Material and Construction Optimization for Prevention of Premature Pavement Distress in PCC Pavements, was undertaken in 2003. Its purpose was to evaluate existing quality control tests, and then select and advance the state-of-the-practice of those tests most useful for optimizing concrete pavements during mix design, mix verification, and construction. This testing guide is one product of that project. The guide provides three recommended testing schemes (Levels A, B, and C, depending on a pavement’s design life and traffic volumes, etc.) that balance the costs of testing with the risk of failure for various project types. The recommended tests are all part of a comprehensive suite of tests described in detail in this guide.

Online teaching of inflammatory skin pathology by a French-speaking international university network

Introduction: Developments in technology, webbased teaching and whole slide imaging have broadened the teaching horizon in anatomic pathology. Creating online learning material including many types of media like radiologic images, videos, clinical and macroscopic photographs and whole slides imaging is now accessible to almost every university. Unfortunately, a major limiting factor to maintain and update the learning material is the amount of work, time and resources needed. In this perspective, a French national university network was initiated in 2011 to build mutualised online teaching pathology modules with clinical cases and tests. This network has been extended to an international level in 2012-2014 (Quebec, Switzerland and Ivory Coast). Method: One of the first steps of the international project was to build a learning module on inflammatory skin pathology intended for interns and residents of pathology and dermatology. A pathology resident from Quebec spent 6 weeks in France and Switzerland to develop the contents and build the module on an e-learning Moodle platform (http: //moodle.sorbonne-paris-cite.fr) under the supervision of two dermatopathologists (BV, MB). The learning module contains text, interactive clinical cases, tests with feedback, whole slides images (WSI), images and clinical photographs. For that module, the virtual slides are decentralized in 2 universities (Bordeaux and Paris 7). Each university is responsible of its own slide scanning, image storage and online display with virtual slide viewers. Results: The module on inflammatory skin pathology includes more than 50 web pages with French original content, tests and clinical cases, links to over 45 WSI and more than 50 micro and clinical photographs. The whole learning module is currently being revised by four dermatopathologists and two senior pathologists. It will be accessible to interns and residents in spring 2014. The experience and knowledge gained from that work will be transferred to the next international fellowship intern whose work will be aimed at creating lung and breast pathology learning modules. Conclusion: The challenges of sustaining a project of this scope are numerous. The technical aspect of whole-slide imaging and storage needs to be developed by each university or group. The content needs to be regularly updated, completed and its use and existence needs to be promoted by the different actors in pathology. Of the great benefits of that kind of project are the international partnerships and connections that have been established between numerous Frenchspeaking universities and pathologists with the common goals of promoting education in pathology and the use of technology including whole slide imaging. * The Moodle website is hosted by PRES Sorbonne Paris Cité, and financial supports for hardware have been obtained from UNF3S (http://www.unf3s.org/) and PRES Sorbonne Paris Cité. Financial support for international fellowships has been obtained from CFQCU (http://www.cfqcu.org/).
