RESUMO

INTRODUCTION : La prise en charge thérapeutique des microcarcinomes papillaires (MCP) de la thyroïde est controversée. L'ob-jectif de notre étude était de discuter les attitudes thérapeutiques devant un microcarcinome papillaire.MÉTHODES : Nous rapportons une étude rétrospective portant sur 50 patients pris en charge pour MCP de la thyroïde sur une période de 7 ans (2007-2013).RÉSULTATS : L'âge moyen de nos patients était de 46 ans avec un sex-ratio de 0,11. Les circonstances de découverte étaient : un nodule thyroïdien suspect dans cinq cas, une adénopathie cervicale métastatique dans un cas. La découverte était fortuite à l'exa-men histologique chez 44 patients. Le geste chirurgical consistait en une thyroïdectomie totale dans tous les cas. Elle a été pratiquée en un seul temps opératoire dans 34 cas et en deux temps dans 15 cas. Un curage ganglionnaire central a été réalisé dans 56% des cas. La taille moyenne du MCP était de 4,6 mm. Le MCP était multifocal dans 16% des cas et bilatéral dans 10% des cas. Un envahissement de la capsule thyroïdienne a été retrouvé dans 4% des cas. Une atteinte ganglionnaire a été notée dans 14% des cas. Le traitement par l'Iode 131 a été indiqué chez 40 patients. L'activité moyenne administrée était nettement moindre chez les patients opérés après 2012 (70mCi contre 130 mCi). Quatre-vingt pourcent de ces patients ont reçus une activité inférieure à 100 mCi. Le recul moyen était de 52 mois. Nous n'avons pas rapporté de cas de récidive ou de métastase à distance.CONCLUSION : La totalisation chirurgicale et l'irathérapie ne devraient être indiquées qu'en présence de facteurs de mauvais pro-nostic vu le potentiel peu évolutif de ces tumeurs

RESUMO

Introduction : Les mucocèles nasosinusiennes sont des pseudo-tumeurs d'allure kystique, relativement rares. Malgré leur bénignité, elles ont une tendance expansive et destructrice. Buts : Proposer une stratégie thérapeutique appropriée des mucocèles naso-sinuisennes.Matériel et Méthodes : Etude rétrospective portant sur 43 patients opérés entre 1992 et 2012. Résultats :Il s'agit de 27 hommes et de 16 femmes. L'âge moyen était de 47 ans. Des antécédents de traumatisme crânio-facial, de chirurgie nasosinusienne ou du massif facial ont été retrouvés respectivement dans 16.27%, 25.58% et 9,3% des cas. Les localisations éthmoïdo-frontales étaient les plus fréquentes (14 cas). Les voies endoscopique endonasale, mixte ou externe ont été utilisées dans 30, 4 et 9 cas. Conclusion : La voie endoscopique endonasale est actuellement la voie de référence pour le traitement des mucocèles. La voie externe garde certaines indications. La marsupialisation est le traitement de choix permettant le respect de la physiologie sinusienn

RESUMO

This study aimed to examine the association between the payer mix and the financial performance of public and private hospitals in Lebanon. The sample comprised 24 hospitals, representing the variety of hospital characteristics in Lebanon. The distribution of the payer mix revealed that the main sources of revenue were public sources (61.1%), out-of-pocket (18.4%) and private insurance (18.2%). Increases in the percentage of revenue from public sources were associated with lower total costs and revenues, but not profit margins. An inverse association was noted between increased revenue from private insurance and profitability, attributed to increased costs. Increased percentage of out of- pocket payments was associated with lower costs and higher profitability. The study provides evidence that payer mix is associated with hospital costs, revenues and profitability. This should initiate/inform discussions between public and private payers and hospitals about the level of payment and its association with hospital sector financial viability.

RESUMO

لقد هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى فحص الارتباط بين خليط الدافعين وبين الأداء المالي للمستشفيات العامة والخاصة في لبنان. ولقد شملت العينة 24 مستشفى تمثل مختلف أنواع المستشفيات في لبنان. فأظهر توزيع خليط الدافعين أن المصادر الرئيسية للإيرادات كانت إما مصادر عامة [%61.1]، أو دفع من الجيب [18.4%]، أو تأمين خاص [18.2%]. وكانت الزيادة في النسبة المئوية للإيرادات من مصادر عامة مرتبطة بانخفاض إجمالي التكاليف والإيرادات، لا بهوامش الربح. كما لوحظ وجود ارتباط عكسي بين زيادة الإيرادات من التأمين الخاص وبين الأرباح، تعزى إلى زيادة التكاليف. وكانت زيادة النسبة المئوية للمدفوعات من الجيب مرتبطة بانخفاض التكاليف وارتفاع الأرباح. إن هذه الدراسة تقدم دليلاً على أن خليط الدافعين يرتبط بتكاليف المستشفيات وإيراداتها وأرباحها. وينبغي أن تسهم هذه النتائج في بدء/إثراء مناقشات بين الدافعين من القطاعين العام والخاص وبين المستشفيات حول مستوى المدفوعات وارتباط ذلك بالجدوى المالية لقطاع المستشفيات

La présente étude visait à examiner l'association entre la pluralité des payeurs et la performance financière des hôpitaux publics et privés au Liban. L'échantillon portait sur 24 hôpitaux, représentant la diversité des caractéristiques des établissements au Liban. La répartition des différents payeurs a révélé que parmi lesprincipales sources de revenus figuraient le secteur public (61,1 %), les paiements directs (18,4 %) et les assurances privées (18,2 %). Des augmentations du pourcentage des revenus provenant du secteur public étaient associéesà des coûts et à des revenus totaux plus faibles, mais non toutefois aux marges bénéficiaires. Une association inverse a été observée entre l'augmentation de revenus issus des assurances privées et la rentabilité, attribuée à des coûts plus élevés. Une hausse du pourcentage de paiements directs était associée à des coûts moindres et à une meilleure rentabilité. La présente étude fournit des élèments de preuve montrant que la pluralité de payeurs est associée aux coûts, aux revenus et à la rentabilité des hôpitaux. Cette situation devrait non seulement lancer des discussions entre les payeurs publics et privés et les hôpitaux sur le niveau de paiement et son association à la viabilité financière du secteur hospitalier, mais également contribuer aux débats à ce sujet.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Suicide rates increase following periods of war; however, the mechanism through which this occurs is not known. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the associations of war exposure, mental disorders, and subsequent suicidal behavior. METHOD: A national sample of Lebanese adults was administered the Composite International Diagnostic Interview to collect data on lifetime prevalence and age of onset of suicide ideation, plan, and attempt, and mental disorders, in addition to information about exposure to stressors associated with the 1975-1989 Lebanon war. RESULTS: The onset of suicide ideation, plan, and attempt was associated with female gender, younger age, post-war period, major depression, impulse-control disorders, and social phobia. The effect of post-war period on each type of suicide outcome was largely explained by the post-war onset of mental disorders. Finally, the conjunction of having a prior impulse-control disorder and either being a civilian in a terror region or witnessing war-related stressors was associated with especially high risk of suicide attempt. CONCLUSIONS: The association of war with increased risk of suicidality appears to be partially explained by the emergence of mental disorders in the context of war. Exposure to war may exacerbate disinhibition among those who have prior impulse-control disorders, thus magnifying the association of mental disorders with suicidality.

RESUMO

We undertook this study to investigate the relationship between white-matter abnormalities (seen on brain magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and muscle tone and muscle stretch reflexes on clinical examination. We identified all patients less than 5 years of age who had undergone cranial MRI studies at Riley Hospital for Children between June 30, 1999, and July 1, 2000, whose scans were read as showing white-matter abnormalities. We measured two ratios and the thickness of the corpus callosum as indicators of the quantity of cerebral white matter. The ratios were R1, the ratio of the thickness of the white matter at the level just above the body of the lateral ventricle compared with the width of the hemisphere, and R2, the ratio of the thickness of the white matter to the width of the hemisphere at the level of the trigone of the lateral ventricle. The thickness of the corpus callosum was measured at the junction of the anterior two thirds and the posterior third. We also evaluated the signal intensity of the cerebral white matter by reviewing the fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery images and grading the signal as normal to severely abnormal depending on the degree and extent of high signal intensity seen (0 = normal to 4+). Thirty-eight children less than 5 years of age who underwent MRI scans between June and August 2000 and who were found to have normal tone prospectively and normal MRI scan on review served as a control group. We identified 215 patients who had white-matter abnormalities; of these, only 142 (66%) had documented tone assessments in their medical record. Our study group was divided into three groups: increased (n = 35), decreased (n = 53), and normal tone (n = 54). All three measurements of white matter in each of the three study groups were significantly below values for control children. The children with white-matter abnormalities and decreased tone had significantly less signal intensity abnormality than the other study groups. Children with white-matter abnormalities and increased tone had a greater frequency of increased reflexes and tended to have more signal abnormalities than the other groups. The group of children with white-matter abnormalities and normal tone had the least amount of cerebral white-matter deficiency of the three study groups. In patients with strikingly decreased quantities of cerebral white matter, those with normal signal-intensity white matter are likely to be hypotonic with normal reflexes and those with increased signal intensity in the white matter are likely to be spastic.
