Prévalence et déterminants de l'hypophosphatémie sévère dans un service de Médecine interne

L'hypophosphatémie sévère définie comme une phosphatémie plasmatique < 0.32 mmol/l (Norme : 0.8-1-4 mmol/l) est associé à une morbidité et mortalité accrues. Il s'agit d'un trouble électrolytique dont la prévalence a été évaluée entre 0.24-0.42 % dans une population d'un hôpital général. Un nombre considérable de maladies et de situations cliniques ont été identifiées comme étant associées à une hypophosphatémie. Méthodologie Etude rétrospective chez les patients du service de médecine interne du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV, Lausanne) au cours de la période 2008-2010 qui ont présenté au moins un épisode de hypophosphatémie sévère définie comme une phosphatémie ≤ 0.35 mmol/l. Nous avons obtenu les données sur l'âge, le sexe, et les taux plasmatiques de : calcium, albumine, créatinine, bicarbonate veineux, glucose et acide urique.Nous avons étudié la prévalence de l'hypophosphatémie sévère et les pathologies associées. Comparaisondans une analyse cas-contrôles des caractéristiques des patients avec hypophosphatémie sévère et ceux ayant des valeurs de phosphate plasmatiques normales(0.8-1.4 mmol/l). Résultats La prévalence des patients ayant présenté au moins une valeur de phosphatémie ≤0.35 mmol/l pendant l'hospitalisation est de 1.3% sur les trois années cumulées. Chez les 84 patients avec hypophosphatémie sévère, la majorité présente plusieurs causes concomitantes. Nous avons retrouvé les étiologies suivantes : dénutrition sévère, 59.5% ; dialyse, 34.5% ; diarrhées chroniques, 23.8% ; consommation chronique d'alcool, 21.4% ; syndrome de renutrition inappropriée (refeeding syndrome), 20.3% et hyperparathyroïdisme primaire, 4.8%. L'hypokaliémie, l'hypocalcémie et l'hypomagnésémie sont positivement et significativement associées à l'hypophosphatémie. Conclusion La prévalence est rare dans un service de médecine interne, mais reste très probablement sous- diagnostiquée. Les patients à risque de développer ce trouble électrolytique sont les patients souffrant de dénutrition avec son pendant le syndrome de renutritioninappropriée et la consommation chronique d'alcool, et les patients sous dialyse.

European expert opinion on the management of invasive candidiasis in adults.

This report discusses the present status of antifungal therapy and treatment options for candidaemia, considered by experts in the field in Europe. A conference of 26 experts from 13 European countries was held to discuss strategies for the treatment and prevention of invasive candidiasis, with the aim of providing a review on optimal management strategies. Published and unpublished comparative trials on antifungal therapy were analysed and discussed. Commonly asked questions about the management of candidaemia were selected, and possible responses to these questions were discussed. Panellists were then asked to respond to each question by using a touchpad answering system. After the initial conference, the viewpoint document has been reviewed and edited to include new insights and developments since the initial meeting. For many situations, consensus on treatment could not be reached, and the responses indicate that treatment is likely to be modified on a patient-to-patient basis, depending on factors such as degree of illness, prior exposure to azole antifungals, and the presence of potentially antifungal drug-resistant Candida species.

HIV Testing Practices by Clinical Service before and after Revised Testing Guidelines in a Swiss University Hospital.

OBJECTIVES: To determine 1) HIV testing practices in a 1400-bed university hospital where local HIV prevalence is 0.4% and 2) the effect on testing practices of national HIV testing guidelines, revised in March 2010, recommending Physician-Initiated Counselling and Testing (PICT). METHODS: Using 2 hospital databases, we determined the number of HIV tests performed by selected clinical services, and the number of patients tested as a percentage of the number seen per service ('testing rate'). To explore the effect of the revised national guidelines, we examined testing rates for two years pre- and two years post-PICT guideline publication. RESULTS: Combining the clinical services, 253,178 patients were seen and 9,183 tests were performed (of which 80 tested positive, 0.9%) in the four-year study period. The emergency department (ED) performed the second highest number of tests, but had the lowest testing rates (0.9-1.1%). Of inpatient services, neurology and psychiatry had higher testing rates than internal medicine (19.7% and 9.6% versus 8%, respectively). There was no significant increase in testing rates, either globally or in the majority of the clinical services examined, and no increase in new HIV diagnoses post-PICT recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: Using a simple two-database tool, we observe no global improvement in HIV testing rates in our hospital following new national guidelines but do identify services where testing practices merit improvement. This study may show the limit of PICT strategies based on physician risk assessment, compared to the opt-out approach.

The role of the pathologist in tissue banking: European Consensus Expert Group Report.

Human tissue biobanking encompasses a wide range of activities and study designs and is critical for application of a wide range of new technologies (-"omics") to the discovery of molecular patterns of disease and for implementation of novel biomarkers into clinical trials. Pathology is the cornerstone of hospital-based tissue biobanking. Pathologists not only provide essential information identifying the specimen but also make decisions on what should be biobanked, making sure that the timing of all operations is consistent with both the requirements of clinical diagnosis and the optimal preservation of biological products. This document summarizes the conclusions of a Pathology Expert Group Meeting within the European Biological and Biomolecular Research Infrastructure (BBMRI) Program. These recommendations are aimed at providing guidance for pathologists as well as for institutions hosting biobanks on how to better integrate and support pathological activities within the framework of biobanks that fulfill international standards.

Maximising the duration of disease control in metastatic renal cell carcinoma with targeted agents: an expert agreement.

With six targeted agents approved (sorafenib, sunitinib, temsirolimus, bevacizumab [+interferon], everolimus and pazopanib), many patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) will receive multiple therapies. However, the optimum sequencing approach has not been defined. A group of European experts reviewed available data and shared their clinical experience to compile an expert agreement on the sequential use of targeted agents in mRCC. To date, there are few prospective studies of sequential therapy. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor everolimus was approved for use in patients who failed treatment with inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptors (VEGFR) based on the results from a Phase III placebo-controlled study; however, until then, the only licensed agents across the spectrum of mRCC were VEGF(R) inhibitors (sorafenib, sunitinib and bevacizumab + interferon), and as such, a large body of evidence has accumulated regarding their use in sequence. Data show that sequential use of VEGF(R) inhibitors may be an effective treatment strategy to achieve prolonged clinical benefit. The optimal place of each targeted agent in the treatment sequence is still unclear, and data from large prospective studies are needed. The Phase III AXIS study of second-line sorafenib vs. axitinib (including post-VEGF(R) inhibitors) has completed, but the data are not yet published; other ongoing studies include the Phase III SWITCH study of sorafenib-sunitinib vs. sunitinib-sorafenib (NCT00732914); the Phase III 404 study of temsirolimus vs. sorafenib post-sunitinib (NCT00474786) and the Phase II RECORD 3 study of sunitinib-everolimus vs. everolimus-sunitinib (NCT00903175). Until additional data are available, consideration of patient response and tolerability to treatment may facilitate current decision-making regarding when to switch and which treatment to switch to in real-life clinical practice.

A Comparative Study: Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act & An Overview of Assistance Animal Laws of Select States, April 18, 2010

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA) prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability and govern the use of service or emotional support animals in places where pets may not be permitted. However, courts have been struggling with how to define and treat animals that qualify for protection under each law. This has created confusion as to what rights and duties are owed disabled persons and the animals that live with or accompany them. This essay attempts to clarify these two federal laws with regard to service or emotional support animals and the differing parties‘ rights and interests. It also includes an overview of select state laws that govern assistance animals of all types and our recommendations for enhancing the Iowa Civil Rights Act.
