Evaluation des campagnes de prévention contre le SIDA en Suisse : Les éducateurs et assistants sociaux : rôle de conseillers dans la prévention et l'accompagnement : rapport final 1988

Dans le cadre de l'évaluation de la campagne STOP-SIDA, les auteurs avaient pour but d'examiner: 1) l'influence et l'intégration des messages préventifs dans la pratique professionnelle des travailleurs sociaux chargés de missions diverses avec les adolescents; 2) le poids de l'épidémie de SIDA dans les pratiques de ceux qui affrontent déjà le problème; 3) l'émergence de demandes particulières, formatives ou matérielles, pour aider à l'accompagnement de jeunes séropositifs ou de malades; 4) les difficultés et les blocages de l'action préventive dus à des conflits de rôles, à des contradictions entre discours professionnels et pratiques personnelles.

Estudio de la agudeza visual final en correlación con variables anatómicas y funcionales objetivas en pacientes con desprendimiento de retina primario

Estudi de cohort de pacients amb despreniment de retina primaris, intervinguts per vitrectomia posterior i agudesa visual final superior a 0,1. Es recullen 23 pacients i es practica un tall de mesura longitudinal a la cohort, recollint paràmetres demogràfics, agudesa visual final, tomografia de coherència òptica i electrorretinograma multifocal. S'estudien associacions entre l'agudesa visual final i les proves objectives anatòmiques i funcionals.

Relation between intraoperative EMG values and final pedicle screw position as seen on CT images

Introduction: Intraoperative EMG based neurophysiological monitoring is increasingly used to assist pedicle screw insertion. We carried out a study comparing the final screw position in the pedicle measured on CT images in relation to its corresponding intraoperative muscle compound action potential (CMAP) values. Material and methods: A total of 189 screws were inserted in thoracolumbar spines of 31 patients during instrumented fusion under EMG control. An observer, blinded to the CMAP value, assessed the horizontal and vertical 'screw edge to pedicle edge' distance perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the screw on reformatted CT reconstructions using OsiriX software. These distances were analysed with their corresponding CMAP values. Data from 62 thoracic and 127 lumbar screws were processed separately. Interobserver reliability of distance measurements was assessed. Results: No patient suffered neurological injury secondary to screw insertion. Distance measurements were reliable (paired t-test, P = 0.13/0.98 horizontal/vertical). Two screws had their position altered due to low CMAP values suggesting close proximity of nerve tissue. Seventy five percent of screws had CMAP results above 10mA and had an average distance of 0.35cm (SD 0.23) horizontally and 0.46cm (SD 0.26) vertically from the pedicle edge. Additional 12% had a distance from the edge of the pedicle less than 0mm indicating cortical breach but had CMAP values above 10mA. A poor correlation between CMAP values and screw position was found. Discussion: In this study CMAP values above 10mA indicated correct screw position in the majority of cases. The zone of 10-20mA CMAP carries highest risk of a misplaced screw despite high CMAP value (17% of screws this CMAP range). In order to improve accuracy of EMG predictive value further research is warranted including improvement of probing techniques.
