HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION FOR 2024 OLYMPICS AND PARALYMPICS GAMES. The 2024 olympic and paralympic Games (JOP 2024) constitute the largest global festive event. While this major international gathering is primarily synonymous with celebrations, health security represents a major challenge for the French healthcare system in a highly tense national and international context. The health security of the JOP 2024 relies on close collaboration between the medical service of the organizer Paris 2024, responsible for care at the Olympic sites, and state services (SAMU, Law Enforcement, Firefighters) providing support in the event of serious health incidents or exceptional health situations (SSE). The projected impact on our healthcare structures (excluding SSE) appears moderate, as a 5% increase in hospital activity and approximately 150 additional daily emergencies are expected during the Olympic period compared to a normal summer season. In the event of a major incident resulting in a large number of casualties, state services will take over the governance of relief efforts by activating the ORSEC-NOVI and ORSAN-AMAVI plans for health response. The preparation of this health coverage involves an unprecedented mobilization of all healthcare stakeholders and is manifested by the organization of exercises at a very brisk pace.

ORGANISATION DU SYSTÈME DE SOINS POUR LES JEUX OLYMPIQUES ET PARALYMPIQUES 2024. Les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques 2024 (JOP 2024) constituent le plus important événement festif mondial. Si ce grand rassemblement international se veut avant tout synonyme de fête, la sécurité sanitaire représente un enjeu majeur pour le système de soins français, dans un contexte national et international en tension majeure. La sécurité sanitaire des JOP 2024 relève d'une étroite collaboration entre le service médical de l'organisateur Paris 2024, responsable des soins sur les sites olympiques, et les services de l'État (Samu, forces de l'ordre, sapeurs-pompiers) venant en soutien en cas d'événements sanitaires graves ou en cas de situation sanitaire exceptionnelle. La prévision de l'impact sur les structures sanitaires (en dehors de situation sanitaire exceptionnelle) semble modérée, puisque l'on attend une augmentation de 5 % de l'activité hospitalière et environ 150 urgences journalières de plus pendant la période olympique par rapport à une saison estivale normale. En cas d'événement majeur générant un grand nombre de victimes, les services de l'État prendront la gouvernance des secours par le déclenchement des plans ORSECNOVI et ORSAN-AMAVI pour la valence sanitaire. La préparation de cette couverture sanitaire fait appel à une mobilisation sans précédent de tous les acteurs de santé et se concrétise par l'organisation d'exercices à un r ythme très soutenu.

National Institute on Aging's 50th anniversary: Advancing aging research and the health and well-being of older adults.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was founded in 1974 to support and conduct research on aging and the health and well-being of older adults. Fifty years ago, the concept of studying aging generated much skepticism. Early NIA-funded research findings helped establish the great value of aging research and provided the foundation for significant science advances that have improved our understanding of the aging process, diseases and conditions associated with aging, and the effects of health inequities, as well as the need to promote healthy aging lifestyles. Today, we celebrate the many important contributions to aging research made possible by NIA, as well as opportunities to continue to make meaningful progress. NIA emphasizes that the broad aging research community must continue to increase and expand our collective efforts to recruit and train a diverse next generation of aging researchers.

Genomics education for advance practice nurses: Staying cutting edge.

ABSTRACT: As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of sequencing of the human genome and the rapid integration of genetics in health care, we pause to reflect on the status of genomic competency in nursing. The literature provides evidence that nurses do not feel prepared or confident in genomics. Genomic education for nurses and other health care professionals can support access and equity in the integration of genomics into practice. Resources are provided to support genomic education and clinical support.

The 50th Anniversary of the Implementation of PL 92-603: A Major Change in the Care of Patients with End Stage Kidney Disease.

Fifty years ago, in July 1973, providing care to patients with end stage kidney disease changed dramatically with the implementation of legislation (PL 92-603) that deemed chronic renal disease to be a disability and provided coverage under Medicare for the treatment of the disease. In this article, we discuss the impact of the implementation of PL 92-603.

Recommitting to AACP Engaged Governance for the Common Good: Report of the 50th Anniversary Commission to Reimagine the AACP House of Delegates.

The 50th Anniversary Commission to Reimagine the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) House of Delegates (HOD Commission) was charged to consider and recommend changes to the AACP Board of Directors and AACP HOD regarding a broad range of issues related to the HOD. The 2021-2022 HOD Commission met virtually many times throughout the year as 2 sub-groups and a full commission, using Basecamp for shared documents and timelines, and it provided interim reports to the Board of Directors in November and February. A survey of 2022 delegates was developed and administered; responses from 163 delegates informed final recommendations as described in the report. The HOD Commission affirms the need for and purpose of AACP's HOD and urges that all schools/colleges of pharmacy recommit to engaged governance for the common good.

Energy expenditure during training and official league match in professional female soccer players - a pilot study.

Background: The most important component of a well-balanced diet is the proper energetic value. However, adequate estimation of the body's energy needs is difficult for professional athletes, including soccer players. There is little research showing energy expenditure during training and lack of studies on the energy expenditure of professional female soccer players during a match. Objective: The aim of our study was to estimate energy expenditure during training and official league match in female soccer players and comparing it. Material and methods: Seven Polish professionally practicing soccer females (23.4±6,6 years old; 63.5±7.8 kg; 168.5±5.8 cm; 46±4.4 kg fat-free mass) participated in the study. The participants had their height and body mass measured. Energy expenditure during activities was measured by means of a SenseWear Pro3 Armband device. Body composition was assessed with Akern BIA 101 Anniversary Sport Edition device. Results: Statistically higher energy expenditure was achieved in the study group during the match hour (452±55 kcal/hour) compared to the training hour (353±28 kcal/ hour) as well as in the case of energy expenditure per hour of activity per kg of fat-free mass (match: 9.94±1.75 kcal/kg fat-free mass/hour; training: 7.71±0.8 kcal/kg fat-free mass/hour). During one hour of training, more time was spent on sedentary, light, and moderate activities, but the difference was statistically significant only for light activities. More time during the match hour than during the training hour was spent on vigorous and very vigorous activities. Conclusions: In conclusion, the energy expenditure of the players during the match was greater than in the case of the planned intensive training, which was caused by the timeshare of more intense physical activities and going a longer distance during match.

Anniversary Narratives of the Health Care State: Institutional Entrenchment in Retrospect.

Institutional narratives, appealing both to the intellect and the imagination, are powerful mechanisms of entrenchment. Drawing on close examination of legislative debates, interview transcripts, and official documents, this article analyzes institutional narratives of the British National Health Service (NHS) and American Medicare and Medicaid. These narratives take the form of epics, featuring founding heroes, adversaries, stewards, saviors, and other characters, and are retold on multiple occasions, and especially on anniversaries of the founding date. In the process, certain elements of history are remembered, and others forgotten. The myth of the NHS as a single national institution obscured much of the complexity and compromise that went into its founding and subsequent development, but preserved fidelity to its founding principles. In the United States, the dominant narrative belonged to Medicare, while Medicaid featured as an afterthought. In the case of the NHS, narrative entrenchment served to preserve universal access to comprehensive health care. In the case of American Medicare, entrenchment preserved the original mission of the institution but kept it from expanding to a broader swath of the population, even as its less-entrenched companion Medicaid provided a vehicle for coverage of an increasingly wide range of population groups. A distinct Medicaid narrative developed only after incremental expansion was well underway.

Anniversary Oncology Days in Paris.

On June 14-16 2023, the 45th meeting of the General Assembly of Organization of European Cancer Institutes (OECI) dedicated to the 120th anniversary of the award of the first Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of radioactivity to Marie Sklodowska-Curie was held in Paris hosted by the Institut Curie. More than 130 leading specialized institutions and organizations that focus their efforts on finding ways and optimizing coordination to improve the quality of cancer care in Europe attended the OECI Oncology Days and the General Assembly. The first plenary session, chaired by S. Oberst and J.-B. Burrion, was devoted to the issues of quality in oncology and the role of research and education in optimizing healthcare services. It was noted that today, in the field of providing medical services to cancer patients in European countries, there are significant differences in access to digital, research and innovation technologies. The efforts of the team in the field of accreditation and certification of cancer centers within the framework of the European Cancer Plan help to improve and build the capacity of the EU member states to improve the quality of healthcare services. The OECI is working to support, improve and integrate cancer patient care, research and education in cancer care as well as survivorship to minimize inequalities in access to quality health care. A separate session chaired by E. Jolly was devoted to the role of patient organizations in improving the quality of cancer care, research and education. The reports presented the best experiences of cooperation between cancer centers and patient organizations in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as models of increasing interaction between clinical research centers and patient organizations in the European Union and Japan. The OECI is making considerable efforts to create an optimal model of the pathway that a patient should follow from the moment of diagnosis to palliative care and long-term survival. Optimization of European standards for the provision of high-quality specialized medical care and the development of quality indicators and patient-reported outcomes will improve the ability of researchers and healthcare providers to combine their efforts. On the one hand, the patient pathway is a tool for improving the quality of medical services and patient care, and on the other hand, it guarantees cost control and takes into account the patient's experience to make the best decision by a multidisciplinary team. At the session chaired by M. Nilsert, the best practices of oncology care provided by OECI-certified centres in Toulouse, Helsinki, Stockholm (Karolinska) and Dublin were presented. It is convincingly proven that the certification procedure helps to optimize the quality of medical services, communication with patients, research and improve the quality of education. Considerable attention at the special session chaired by G. Apolone and G. Brunelli was devoted to the issues of quality of life as the basis of cancer care. The EUonQoL project coordinated the optimization of research, the role of stakeholders in this process and the need to create an appropriate network of cancer infrastructure to reduce cancer in Europe. Today, as part of the development of the European Model Cancer Control Plan and with the support of the EU Mission and Horizon Europe, the goal of bringing together opportunities for the provision of high-quality healthcare services, joint research and innovation is under realization. The priority goal is to create comprehensive cancer infrastructures that will provide opportunities for the efficient use of national resources of European countries and associated EU members for improving the quality of healthcare services. At the plenary session chaired by G. Ciliberto and P. Mahon, dedicated to the role of digitalization as a factor of modern European opportunities, cancer centers presented pilot programs and trainings that contribute to the development and implementation of new opportunities to address complex cancer problems. A significant role in optimizing the coordination of European cancer centers should be played by the development and implementation of modern technologies in the creation and implementation of modern information databases that will improve the quality of research and health care services. Attention is focused on the role of the state policy of the OECI countries in supporting the development of digitalization of cancer centers. A significant event of the 45th OECI General Assembly was the plenary session on the preparation of the Ukrainian oncology service on the way to the European Union, chaired by T. Philippe and V. Chekhun. In his address on behalf of the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine for European Integration Olha Stefanishyna, the First Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine Serhii Dubrov welcomed the participants of the OECI Oncology Days and General Assembly. Francois Braun, Minister of Health of France, addressed the participants with a greeting and confirmed the comprehensive support for Ukraine on its way to the EU. The presentation of V. Chekhun and O. Rossylna focused on the current structure of the Ukrainian Cancer Service and the legislative framework for its transformation in the frames of reforms in the Ukrainian healthcare sector. The report of the OECI President highlighted the active position of OECI on the implementation of European standards to increase accessibility and improve the quality of cancer care for patients. T. Philippe drew special attention to the need to transform and optimize the oncology infrastructure network on the way of Ukraine's European integration efforts. The Ukrainian delegation's presentation was received with much enthusiasm from the audience. The participants from Moldova insisted on continuous support to Ukrainian medicine and patients. It was stressed that Ukraine fights not only for their territory but also for freedom in all Europe. As part of the OECI Oncology Days, the scientific session "The Cell as a Therapy" chaired by T. Philippe and G. Apolone was held to present new perspectives on cancer treatment. Below is a brief program of this conference: - Overview of the status of cancer cell therapy: theoretical and practical issues. - CAR-T Cells in the field of hematology: comparison between Western Europe and Eastern Europe. - The future of CAR-T in the field of solid tumors. - CAR-T allogenic, NK cells, TIL: other possible chapters for cell therapy. On the final day of the OECI General Assembly, T. Philip summarized the results of his program as a President, presented a financial report on the activities of OECI, and transferred the powers to the newly elected President G. Apolone for the period 2023-2026.

Contigo MINSA. Edición 4 / With you MINSA. Edition 4

Pasión por lo que hacemos. Con estas palabras se podría sintetizar lo que significa la vocación de servicio. Servir a los demás a través de la empatía, tratar a las personas como nos gustaría que nos traten a nosotros, escuchar y entender las necesidades de los usuarios externos e internos y estar disponibles para dar respuesta a las mismas, de acuerdo al contexto. Para trabajar en el Estado se necesitan aptitudes y capacidades especiales para contribuir al bienestar, beneficio y mejora de nuestro sistema social. Es por ello, que la Autoridad Nacional del Servicio Civil considera a la vocación de servicio como la primera competencia transversal que debe tener el servidor público. Así como, resalta que, trabajar en el Estado, implica tener una pasión por generar un cambio que beneficie la vida del ciudadano; es decir, un compromiso por atender las necesidades de otros incluso antes que las propias. En ese sentido, se reconoce la valiosa competencia a los servidores del Ministerio de Salud, personas que día a día se esfuerzan por realizar un trabajo eficiente, responsable y con empatía, más aún ante situaciones difíciles como la que atraviesa hoy por la pandemia a causa de la COVID-19.

Psicologia, 60 anos, e a crítica da crítica / Psychology: 60 years and the critique of the critique / Psicología, 60 años y la crítica a la crítica

Num marco de 60 anos da regulamentação da psicologia, em momento de aguçamento da crise estrutural do capital, analisamos em que sentido a crítica na/da/à psicologia se desenvolve, como ela influi no recente desenvolvimento da profissão e suas implicações. Trata-se de um trabalho teórico em que dialogamos com exercícios analíticos críticos na psicologia brasileira desde o marxismo. Por um lado, verificamos a crítica na/da/à psicologia não apenas se desenvolvendo, como influindo no desenvolvimento dessa área no Brasil em direção a análises e explicações mais condizentes com a realidade, bem como a práticas mais comprometidas ética e politicamente, superando lacunas históricas. Por outro, constatamos inflexões e abrandamentos na crítica atrelados à conjuntura, sua institucionalização na academia (em termos da produção de conhecimento) e políticas sociais (referente ao trabalho profissional), formando uma crise na práxis da psicologia crítica: o aguçamento da crise estrutural do capital se expressando nas propostas críticas à/da/na psicologia. Como caminhos para a continuidade da crítica como motor do desenvolvimento da psicologia, sinalizamos: a) explicitação da dimensão ontológica na/da crítica e seus projetos ético-políticos de psicologia e sociedade; b) análises totalizantes, em vez de fragmentações da realidade; c) práxis como critério de verdade, superando a noção da crítica como algo em si ou mero exercício teórico descolado da realidade; d) emancipação humana como horizonte; e) resgate da radicalidade; e f) ir além das fronteiras da psicologia, em direção às lutas e movimentos sociais.(AU)

Within the framework of the 60th anniversary of psychology regulation in Brazil, in a moment of sharpening of the structural crisis of capital, this paper analyzes in what sense the critique in/of psychology is developed, how it influences recent psi development and its implications. This theoretical work dialogues with critical analytical exercises in Brazilian psychology since Marxism. On one hand, we see the critique of psychology not only developing, but also influencing the development of this field in Brazil towards analyses and explanations more consistent with reality, as well as towards more ethically-politically committed practices, overcoming historical gaps. On the other, we observe inflections and slowdowns in the critique linked to the conjuncture, its institutionalization in academia (in terms of knowledge production) and social policies (referring to professional work), leading to a crisis in critical psychology praxis; the sharpening of the structural crisis of capital expressed in critical proposals of/in psychology. As paths for a continued critique as a driver for developing psychology, we point out a) explicitness of the ontological dimension of the critic and its ethical-political projects of psychology and society; b) totalizing analyses, instead of fragmentations of reality; c) praxis as a truth criteria, overcoming the notion of critique as something in itself or mere theoretical exercise detached from reality; d) human emancipation as a horizon; e) rescue of radicalism; and f) go beyond the borders of psychology, towards social struggles and movements.(AU)

En el hito de los 60 años de regulación de la psicología y la agudización de la crisis estructural del capital, analizamos en qué sentido se desarrolla la crítica en/a la psicología, cómo esta influye en el reciente desarrollo de la profesión y sus implicaciones. Es un trabajo teórico, que dialoga con ejercicios analíticos críticos en la psicología brasileña desde el marxismo. Por un lado, la crítica en/a la psicología no solo se desarrolla, sino que incide en la psicología brasileña por medio de un análisis y explicaciones más acordes con la realidad, así como prácticas más comprometidas ético-políticamente al superar lagunas históricas. Por otro, se constatan las inflexiones y ablandamientos en la crítica relacionados a la coyuntura, su institucionalización en la academia (en relación a la producción de conocimiento) y en las políticas sociales (referidas al trabajo profesional), lo que configura una crisis en la praxis de la psicología crítica: la agudización de la crisis estructural del capital se expresa en propuestas críticas a/desde la psicología. Para seguir la crítica como motor del desarrollo de la psicología, señalamos: a) la explicitación de la dimensión ontológica en/de la crítica y los proyectos ético-políticos de psicología y sociedad; b) los análisis totalizadores más que fragmentaciones de la realidad; c) la praxis como criterio de verdad, superando la noción de la crítica como algo en sí o mero ejercicio teórico desvinculado de la realidad; d) la emancipación humana como horizonte; e) el rescate del radicalismo; e f) ir más allá de las fronteras de la psicología hacia luchas y movimientos sociales.(AU)

Psicologia e assistência social: crise e retrocessos pós-encerramento do ciclo democrático-popular / Psychology and social welfare: crisis and setbacks after the end of the popular-democratic cycle / Psicología y asistencia social: crisis y retrocesos tras el fin del ciclo democrático popular

Nas comemorações dos 60 anos da regulamentação da Psicologia no Brasil, este estudo ressalta o espaço e o debate que a Assistência Social ganhou na história da nossa ciência e profissão, com a análise sobre o panorama da profissão no Suas no período entre 2011 e 2019. O objetivo foi nos deter sobre os rebatimentos que a Assistência Social tem enfrentado e seus efeitos sobre a profissão, a partir dos acontecimentos que configuraram a difícil conjuntura política que assola o país, resultado do encerramento do Ciclo Democrático Popular com o golpe de 2016, a adoção de políticas de austeridade econômica impostas pelos governos subsequentes e o desmonte das políticas públicas. O método foi orientado por um estudo quantitativo com base nos microdados do Censo Suas no período indicado. Nos resultados, percebe-se a partir de 2016 uma desaceleração no curso de expansão dos equipamentos que compõem a Rede Suas e na formação das equipes de trabalho, incluindo profissionais da Psicologia. O perfil profissional de psicólogas(os) no Suas segue composto sobretudo por mulheres, com idade entre 30 e 39 anos, contando apenas com graduação. Ressalta-se o aprofundamento da precarização dos vínculos de trabalho, aspecto que recai com maior peso sobre as profissionais do sexo feminino se comparado aos do masculino que atuam no Suas. Conclui-se que a Assistência Social segue como importante área de absorção de psicólogas(os), sobretudo de início de carreira, porém há intensificação da precarização do trabalho, que recai com maior peso sobre as mulheres.(AU)

Amidst the 60th anniversary of the regulation of Psychology in Brazil, this study highlights the space and debate that Social Welfare has gained in the history of our science and profession, outlining a panorama of the profession in the SUAS between 2011 and 2019. This paper dwells on the repercussions that Social Welfare has faced and its effects on the profession, based on the difficult political conjuncture that plagues the country, resulting from the closure of the Popular Democratic Cycle with the 2016 coup, the adoption of economic austerity policies imposed by subsequent governments and the dismantling of public policies. This quantitative study uses microdata collected from the SUAS Census, in the indicated period. Results show a slowdown in the expansion of the SUAS Network's equipment and the training of work teams, including Psychology professionals, from 2016 onwards. The professional profile of SUAS psychologists is still made up mostly of women, aged between 30 and 39 years old, with only undergraduate degrees. These findings emphasize the enhanced job insecurity, an aspect that falls more heavily on female professionals when compared to men working in the SUAS. In conclusion, Social Welfare remains an important area for the absorption of psychologists, especially in the beginning of their careers, but with greater job insecurity, which weighs more heavily on female professionals.(AU)

En 60 años de la regulación de la Psicología en Brasil, señalamos la importancia de que la Asistencia Social ha ganado en la historia de nuestra ciencia y profesión, con un análisis del panorama de la profesión en el SUAS en el período entre 2011-2019. El objetivo fue centrarse en las repercusiones que ha enfrentado la Asistencia Social y sus efectos en la profesión, a partir de los acontecimientos que han configurado la difícil coyuntura política que ha azotado al país, después el golpe de Estado de 2016, con el desmantelamiento de las políticas públicas. Como método se aplicó un estudio cuantitativo basado en los microdatos del Censo SUAS, en el período indicado. Los resultados muestran que a partir de 2016 hubo una disminución en la ampliación de las instalaciones que conforman la Red SUAS y en la propia formación de los equipos de trabajo, incluidos los psicólogos. El perfil profesional de las/os psicólogas/os en el SUAS sigue siendo mayoritariamente de mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 30 y los 39 años, y solo con titulación de grado. Se destaca la profundización de la precariedad de los vínculos laborales, aspecto que recae con mayor fuerza sobre las mujeres de la profesión si se compara con los hombres. Se concluye que la Asistencia Social sigue siendo un área importante para la absorción de las/os psicólogas/os, sobre todo al inicio de la carrera, pero con una mayor intensificación de la precariedad laboral sobre las mujeres.(AU)
