[Enthalpies: Evidence and theory applied to sterilization practice]. / Base de données Enthalpies: EvideNce et THéorie Appliquée à La PratIque En Stérilisation.

OBJECTIVES: In order to share their knowledge, sterilization unit managers publish the results of their work in journals or at scientific conferences. The aim of Enthalpies is to list all such work in a single database. The work presented describes the construction of this database and the assessment of its feasibility for the washing step. METHODS: The first step was to carry out a literature review. Only articles published over 10 years (2013-2023) in connection with the ten-year washing stage were included. Then, each publication was categorized, coded, graded and summarized by a pharmacist-internal pair. All this data was collated in an Excel® spreadsheet, and from the data categorization a tree structure was created, enabling the interface between the user and the platform hosting Enthalpies to be understood. RESULTS: 81 publications were identified. These were categorized into 6 themes and 27 sub-themes. A reading grid was drawn up for each publication. Genially®, an online platform, was chosen to host our database. CONCLUSION: Enthalpies was not designed to issue recommendations for best practice. However, by collating published scientific data, this tool can be used to assist decision-making. It represents an innovative solution for providing a literature review in the field of hospital sterilization.

The impact of Internet pornography on children and adolescents: A systematic review.

OBJECTIVES: Young people's exposure to online pornographic material has increased in the past years. Its impact is a complex topic but an important issue due to growing concerns. Therefore, we reviewed the literature on Internet pornography consumption and its impact on children and adolescents. Furthermore, we examined young people's thoughts about pornography and their reasons for consumption. METHOD: We performed a systematic literature search in the online databases ERIC, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, and PSYNDEX for peer-reviewed articles in English, published between 2000 and 2022 and additionally identified secondary references. RESULTS: We could determine associations between pornography consumption and demographic variables (e.g., age, gender), personal characteristics (e.g., [sexual] sensation seeking, sexual interest and experience, general risk behavior), environmental variables (e.g., peers, family), attitudes (e.g., gender role attitudes, permissive sexual attitudes), behavior (e.g. sexual risk behaviour, sexting) and sexual aggression (e.g., sexual cybervictimization, grooming). Moreover, we found that girls have a more negative attitude towards pornography than boys who have an ambivalent opinion on the subject. Most adolescents are aware that the majority of pornographic material is exaggerated and unrealistic. Furthermore, pornography is not only watched out of curiosity and for sexual arousal but also used as a source of sexual information, especially by minority groups. DISCUSSION: Many effects that impair children's development have been documented. The results found in this review are often contradictory. Therefore, further replication studies are needed. In addition, we propose several preventive measures, e.g., sexual health education at schools for both heterosexuals and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) people.

[French national standard for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of upper aero-digestive tract - General principles of treatment]. / Référentiel national de traitement des carcinomes épidermoïdes des voies aérodigestives supérieures ­ Principes généraux de traitement.

OBJECTIVES: The management of upper aerodigestive tract cancers is a complex specialty. It is essential to provide an update to establish optimal care. At the initiative of the INCa and under the auspices of the SFORL, the scientific committee, led by Professor Béatrix Barry, Dr. Gilles Dolivet, and Dr. Dominique De Raucourt, decided to develop a reference framework aimed at defining, in a scientific and consensus-based manner, the general principles of treatment for upper aerodigestive tract cancers applicable to all sub-locations. METHODOLOGY: To develop this framework, a multidisciplinary team of practitioners was formed. A systematic analysis of the literature was conducted to produce recommendations classified by grades, in accordance with the standards of the French National Authority for Health (HAS). RESULTS: The grading of recommendations according to HAS standards has allowed the establishment of a reference for patient care based on several criteria. In this framework, patients benefit from differentiated care based on prognostic factors they present (age, comorbidities, TNM status, HPV status, etc.), conditions of implementation, and quality criteria for indicated surgery (operability, resectability, margin quality, mutilation, salvage surgery), as well as quality criteria for radiotherapy (target volume, implementation time, etc.). The role of medical and postoperative treatments was also evaluated based on specific criteria. Finally, supportive care must be organized from the beginning and throughout the patients' care journey. CONCLUSION: All collected data have led to the development of a comprehensive framework aimed at harmonizing practices nationally, facilitating decision-making in multidisciplinary consultation meetings, promoting equality in practices, and providing a state-of-the-art and reference practices for assessing the quality of care. This new framework is intended to be updated every 5 years to best reflect the latest advances in the field.

The Experience of Pregnancy-Related Lumbopelvic Pain: A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis.

Background. Pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain is common and can impact quality of life. Purpose. To synthesize existing qualitative research on people's experiences of pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain in pregnancy and during the postpartum period. Method. A keyword search of four electronic databases between 2000 and 2022 was completed. Included studies were appraised and synthesized using a meta-ethnographic approach. Findings. Twenty-three studies were included. Analysis identified four core themes: (1) uncertainties about pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain, (2) struggles to attain achieve treatment and pain management, (3) profound activity consequences, and (4) emotional wellbeing, relationship, and identity impacts of pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain. Implications. The occupational therapy role with this population has not to our knowledge yet been described. Given the centrality of occupational disruption to the experience of this population we argue that developing and evaluating occupational therapy interventions to address functional, work, parenting and wellbeing outcomes for this population is warranted and should be prioritized.

[Coronary sinus reducer : Literature review and issues surrounding the France Reducer registry]. / Réducteur de sinus coronaire : revue de littérature et enjeux autour du registre France Reducer.

Coronary sinus Reducer implantation is a percutaneous technique used to treat patients suffering from refractory angina pectoris. The device narrows the coronary sinus, increases the back pressure in the myocardial venous system and forces redistribution of coronary blood flow from less ischemic subepicardium to the more ischemic subendocardium. Multiple clinical studies had proven its efficacy to alleviate myocardial ischemia and related symptoms, and to improve the quality of life of patients with refractory symptomatic chronic coronary artery disease for whom coronary revascularization is deemed unsuitable. This literature review aims to expose the device design, its mechanisms of action, and the clinical data supporting its use. Since November 2021 Reducer's reimbursement has been granted in France by the national health authority. It is the first device to be approved under a newly established reimbursement approval process. A transitional coverage is provided with opportunities for renewal before applying for full-time reimbursement. To fulfill the requirements of the National Commission for Evaluation of Medical Devices and Health Technologies, the French Society of Cardiology has been creating the France Reducer registry. This clinical registry has been collecting data from patients undergoing coronary sinus Reducer implantation regarding their clinical situation, periprocedural information, and one-year follow-up. It is crucial for the future of this emerging therapeutic option in France. To date, 215 patients from 28 centers have been included between June 2022 and September 2023.

A hora da estrela: desamparo e tragicidade na obra clariciana / L'heure de l'étoile: impuissance et tragédie dans l'œuvre de Clarice / The hour of the star: helplessness and tragicity in Clarice's work

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo abordar a noção freudiana de desamparo a partir da leitura do último romance da escritora Clarice Lispector, intitulado A Hora da Estrela. A metodologia adotada na presente pesquisa consiste em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, sendo privilegiado o referencial teórico freudiano. O intuito do trabalho consiste em realizar aproximações entre as noções de desamparo, literatura e tragicidade na teoria psicanalítica e no texto clariciano aqui abordado. Sabendo que a obra clariciana propicia que diversas leituras sejam efetivadas, optamos por realizar um recorte teórico e fincar nossas observações em trechos da obra que nos levem ao entendimento do conceito teórico freudiano de desamparo. Assim sendo, conclui-se que o desamparo é a expressão máxima da marca humana e que há maneiras de lidarmos com esta verdade tão avassaladora, inclusive por meio da arte poética. Ainda que as marcas deixadas por esta verdade, que são compostas de tragicidade e conflito, sejam demasiadamente rígidas, a psicanálise e a literatura nos fornecem subsídios para enfrentá-las

Le présent travail vise à aborder la notion freudienne d'impuissance à partir de la lecture du dernier roman de l'écrivain Clarice Lispector, intitulé L'heure de l'étoile. La méthodologie adoptée dans cette recherche consiste en une recherche bibliographique, en privilégiant la référence théorique freudienne. Le but du travail est de faire des rapprochements entre les notions d'impuissance, de littérature et de tragique dans la théorie psychanalytique et dans le texte lispectorien abordé ici. Sachant que l'œuvre de Clarice permet d'effectuer plusieurs lectures, nous avons choisi de faire une coupure théorique et de baser nos observations sur des extraits de l'œuvre qui nous amènent à la compréhension du concept théorique freudien d'impuissance. Nous en concluons donc que l'impuissance est l'expression ultime du manque humain et qu'il existe des moyens de faire face à cette vérité écrasante, y compris par le biais de l'art poétique. Bien que les marques laissées par cette vérité, qui sont composées de tragique et de conflit, soient trop rigides, la psychanalyse et la littérature nous fournissent des subventions pour y faire face.

The present work aims to address the Freudian notion of helplessness from the reading of the last novel by the writer Clarice Lispector, entitled The Hour of the Star. The methodology adopted in this research consists of a bibliographical research, being privileged the Freudian theoretical framework. The purpose of the work is to make approximations between the notions of helplessness, literature and tragicity in psychoanalytic theory and in the Clarice's text addressed here. Knowing that the author's work allows several readings to be carried out, we chose to make a theoretical cut and base ourobservations on excerpts from the work that lead us to the understanding of the Freudian theoretical concept of helplessness. Therefore, it is concluded that helplessness is the maximum expression of human mark and that there are ways to deal with this overwhelming truth, including through poetic art. Although the marks left by this truth, which are composed of tragicity and conflict, are too rigid, psychoanalysis and literature provide us with subsidies to face them

[Exercise for the promotion of mental health : Putative mechanisms, recommendations, and scientific challenges]. / L'exercice physique pour la santé mentale : mécanismes, recommandations, recherches futures.

The idea of applying various forms of physical activity for the betterment of physical health and the reduction of chronic medical conditions is ubiquitous. Despite evidence of successful applications of physical activity for improvement of mental health dating back to antiquity, it has until recent years remained unconventional to consider exercise as an intervention strategy for various mental health conditions. The past two decades, however, have seen a relative explosion of interest in understanding and applying various programs and forms of exercise to improve mental health. Here, our purpose is to provide a comprehensive and updated overview of the application of exercise as a strategy for improving mental health. In the present paper we first summarize contemporary research regarding short- and long-term impacts of exercise on mental health. Then an overview of the putative mechanisms and neurobiological bases underpinning the beneficial effects of exercise is provided. Finally, we suggest directions for future research as well as a series of concrete recommendations for clinicians who wish to prescribe physical activity as part of patient mental health management.

[Impact of adapted physical activity on joint pain induced under adjuvant hormone therapy for breast cancer: A review of the literature]. / Impact de l'activité physique adaptée sur les douleurs articulaires induites sous hormonothérapie adjuvante du cancer du sein : une revue de la littérature.

Hormone therapy provides an excellent survival rate after cancer but has many side effects, including joint pain in one out of two women. This leads about 13 % of women to stop their treatment within the first 6 months, impacting on its effectiveness, survival and the risk of recurrence. In order to better manage pain and quality of life, physical activity is highly recommended. In this context, the present review proposes a state of the art on the effects of adapted physical activity, based on the works referenced in PubMed. These studies show that physical activity has proved its worth in the primary prevention of cancer and is being evaluated in secondary prevention, particularly in the reduction of adverse effects. Overall, there is a reduction in joint pain, an improvement in quality of life and fatigue. Physical activity also plays a role in tertiary prevention. Paradoxically, oncologists and educators often note a reduction in the practice of physical activity due to fear of the onset of pain. It seems necessary to reinforce communication with patients and health professionals and to recommend the practice of physical activity in an appropriate setting.

Anatomy of the biceps brachii osseous footprint: study of 100 radii and literature review.

Biceps brachii (BB) tendon rupture is frequent in young males and may require surgical repair. Non-anatomic reinsertion leads to loss of strength in supination. The main aim of the present study was to describe the anatomy of the osseous footprint of the distal BB tendon. The dimensions of the footprint of the distal BB insertion were analyzed in 100 dry cadaver radii, using MicroScribe 3D software. Insertion area, assimilated to an ellipse, was calculated from 4 points (medial, lateral, cranial and caudal) determining the two axes of the ellipse. Mean footprint length, width and area were 18 mm (range, 7-24 mm), 9 mm (range, 4-15 mm), and 129 mm2 (range, 46-266 mm²), respectively. Intra- and inter-observer correlation coefficients were satisfactory: κ = 0.75 and κ = 0.7, respectively. The present study reported BB footprint dimensions in 100 radii, providing a basis to guide surgical treatment of distal BB tendon rupture. Non-anatomical restoration of the BB tendon footprint leads to poorer clinical and biomechanical results; precise knowledge of the footprint is necessary for anatomical repair.

The Effect of Food is Medicine Interventions on Diabetes-related Health Outcomes Among Low-income and Food-insecure Individuals: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aim to review the current evidence of Food is Medicine interventions on diabetes outcomes among low-income or food-insecure individuals. METHODS: Seven databases were searched from January 1, 2000 to October 26, 2021 for full-text articles written in English. The studies included experimental studies of any duration and design which addressed the effect of Food is Medicine interventions on fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake and glycated hemoglobin (A1C) levels among low-income or food-insecure populations with prediabetes or diabetes of any age group. Only direction of effect of interventions on F&V intake were ascertained due to high variability in outcome measurement. A1C results were pooled using generic inverse variance with a fixed-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using Cochran's Q and quantified by I2. RESULTS: Sixteen studies were included. Five of the 8 studies reported a significant increase in F&V intake. Seven of the 14 studies reported a significant decrease in A1C levels. A meta-analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials (n=843) resulted in clinically meaningful reductions in A1C compared with control (mean difference, -0.47%; 95% confidence interval, -0.66 to -0.29, I2=88%, p<0.0001). Half (n=8) of the studies have a high risk of bias due to missing data, detection bias, and confounding. CONCLUSIONS: Food is Medicine interventions are effective in increasing F&V intake and reducing A1C levels of the target population. More randomized controlled studies are needed to validate the results.

Experiências da solidão no seio das violências conjugais. Alguns exemplos da literatura contemporânea / Experiences of loneliness within marital violence. Some examples from contemporary literature / Expériences de solitude dans la violence conjugale. Quelques exemples tirés de la littérature contemporaine / Experiencias de soledad dentro de la violencia conyugal. Algunos exemplos de la literatura contemporánea

O artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa mais ampla e tem como objetivo principal compreender algumas características da solidão no seio da violência conjugal, a partir de casos narrados em romances da literatura contemporânea. Trata-se de perceber as experiências de humilhação e desamparo das vítimas, em diferentes contextos sociais e não apenas entre casais heterossexuais. A metodologia empregada é a análise comparativa e qualitativa dos romances selecionados, focalizando principalmente duas grandes experiências emocionais, bastante frequentes nas narrativas: primeiramente o medo, que muitas vezes leva ao isolamento e à dificuldade de falar sobre o que se passa e de romper a relação; e, em segundo lugar, a esperança de que tudo pode mudar, ou de que a violência é apenas acidental e não irá se repetir.

The article is the result of broader research, and its main objective is to understand some characteristics of loneliness in the midst of marital violence based on cases narrated in novels of contemporary literature. It is about perceiving the experiences of humiliation and helplessness of the victims in different social contexts and not just among heterosexual couples. The methodology employed is the comparative and qualitative analysis of the selected novels, focusing mainly on two great emotional experiences, quite frequent in the narratives: firstly, fear, which often leads to isolation and the difficulty of talking about what is happening and breaking the relationship; and, secondly, the hope that everything can change, or that the violence is just accidental and will not be repeated.

L'article est le résultat d'une recherche plus large et son objectif principal est de comprendre certaines caractéristiques de la solitude au milieu de la violence conjugale, à partir de cas racontés dans des romans de la littérature contemporaine. Il s'agit de percevoir les expériences d'humiliation et d'impuissance des victimes, dans différents contextes sociaux et pas seulement parmi les couples hétérosexuels. La méthodologie employée est l'analyse comparative et qualitative des romans sélectionnés, en se concentrant principalement sur deux grandes expériences émotionnelles, assez fréquentes dans les récits: premièrement, la peur, qui conduit souvent à l'isolement et à la difficulté à parler de ce qui se passe et à rompre la relation; et, deuxièmement, l'espoir que tout peut changer, ou que la violence est juste accidentelle et ne se reproduira pas.

El artículo es resultado de una investigación más amplia y tiene como principal objetivo comprender algunas características de la soledad en medio de la violencia conyugal, a partir de casos narrados en novelas de la literatura contemporánea. Se trata de percibir las experiencias de humillación e impotencia de las víctimas, en diferentes contextos sociales y no sólo entre parejas heterosexuales. La metodología empleada es el análisis comparativo y cualitativo de las novelas seleccionadas, centrándose principalmente en dos grandes experiencias emocionales, bastante frecuentes en las narraciones: en primer lugar, el miedo, que conduce muchas veces al aislamiento y a la dificultad para hablar de lo que sucede y para romper la relación; y, en segundo lugar, la esperanza de que todo pueda cambiar, o que la violencia sea accidental y no se repita.

Devir-onça: "Meu tio Iauaretê", de João Guimarães Rosa / My uncle Iauaretê / Mon oncle Iauaretê

O conto de João Guimarães Rosa intitulado "Meu tio o Iauaretê", publicado em 1961, permanece um texto singular da literatura brasileira. Por meio de um monólogo em situação dialógica, em um português oral sarapintado por expressões e termos em tupi, realiza-se o devir-onça de um ex-matador de onças que nelas encontra seu povo, seus parentes. A leitura enfatiza o caráter indomesticável desse texto ficcional e suas implicações antimetafísicas e políticas.

Written by João Guimarães Rosa and published in 1961, the short story "My uncle the Jaguar" remains a unique fictional text in the Brazilian Literature. By means of a monologue in a dialogical situation and written in an oral Portuguese entangled with expressions and words in Tupi, a becoming-jaguar of a previous jaguar-killer is progressively enacted. This jaguar killer finally recognizes the jaguars as his real folks, as his kinfolk. The article emphasizes the untamable character of Rosa's short story and develops its antimetaphysical and political implications.

Publié en 1961, le récit écrit par João Guimarães Rosa intitulé «Mon oncle le jaguar¼ reste un texte unique, singulier de la Littérature Brésilienne. A travers une sorte de monologue en situation dialogique, écrit dans une langue portugaise tacheté par des termes et des expressions en tupi, ce texte performe le devir-jaguar d'un ex tueur de jaguars qui finit par reconnaître ces félins comme son peupele, sa parenté. L'article met en relief le caractère indomptable de ce texte fictionnel et souligne ses implications anti-métaphysiques et politiques.

[Tactile communication within the father-mother-baby triad]. / La communication tactile au sein de la triade père-mère-bébé.

This literature review focuses on tactile interactions between parents and their infants. Research on the dyad has explored both cultural differences in touch and the relationship between touch style and hormonal secretion in both parents. The few studies that have examined this communicative modality within the triad have investigated the frequency and type of parent-infant touch, as well as the effect of skin-to-skin contact on tactile interactions at three months postpartum.

[Phytotherapeutic treatments of gynecological diseases and fertility disorders in cattle - a veterinary historical analysis]. / Phytotherapeutische Behandlungen gynäkologischer Erkrankungen und Fruchtbarkeitsstörungen von Rindern ­ eine veterinärhistorische Analyse.

INTRODUCTION: Fertility problems are the main reasons for culling dairy cows. Diseases of the female genital tract are also often the cause of antibiotic or hormonal treatments in bovine practices. The use of medicinal plants could expand the available therapeutics. The aim of the work was to analyze historical literature before the introduction of antibiotics in veterinary reproductive medicine. Five books in German language, published in Germany and Switzerland between 1878 and 1921, and one handwritten therapy booklet by the rural veterinarian Carl Ammann-Honegger (1879-1960) were systematically examined regarding the descriptions (AW) on gynecological diseases. The herbal and additional ingredients of the recipe, the target animal species, the type of administration and the indication were recorded in detail for each AW. The six literature sources contained a total of 103 AW (79 administered orally, 13 locally, and 11 both orally and locally). Almost two thirds of the AW (61) were based on a mixture of different plants (two to seven plants), and one third of the AW (31) on a single plant. A total of 55 plants were recorded. The most frequently mentioned medical plants were plants of the genus Juniperus (J. communis L. (19 AW), J. sabina L. (13 AW)) and Linum usitatissimum L. (18 AW), Matricaria chamomilla L. (13 AW) and Gentiana lutea L. (12 AW). The treatment of the Retentio secundinarum was the most frequently mentioned indication (44 AW), followed by parturition preparation (17 AW) and endometritis treatment (15 AW). The most frequently recorded plants can be divided based on their ingredients and their effect into (a) energy- and protein-rich forage plants, (b) generally appetizing, digestive- and metabolism-enhancing plants, (c) medical plants with a specific gynecological organotrophic effect and (d) according to current knowledge, predominantly toxic plants. Besides the antimicrobial active immunity to defence against bacterial infections, a stable barrier funcion of the endometrium contributes to uterine health. The plants classified under (a) - (c) have at least the potential for a positive effect on the immune system and the endometrial barrier function and thus contribute indirectly to the uterine health.

INTRODUCTION: Les problèmes de fertilité sont les principales raisons de la mise à la réforme des vaches laitières. Les maladies de l'appareil génital femelle sont également souvent à l'origine de traitements antibiotiques ou hormonaux dans les pratiques bovines. L'utilisation de plantes médicinales pourrait élargir les thérapeutiques disponibles. L'objectif de ce travail était d'analyser la littérature historique avant l'introduction des antibiotiques en médecine de la reproduction vétérinaire. Cinq livres en langue allemande, publiés en Allemagne et en Suisse entre 1878 et 1921, et un livret thérapeutique écrit à la main par le vétérinaire rural Carl Ammann-Honegger (1879­1960) ont été systématiquement examinés en ce qui concerne les descriptions d'utilisation (AW) sur les maladies gynécologiques. Les herbes et les ingrédients supplémentaires de la recette, l'espèce animale cible, le type d'administration et l'indication ont été enregistrés en détail pour chaque AW. Les six sources de littérature contenaient un total de 103 AW (79 administrées par voie orale, 13 par voie locale et 11 par voie orale et locale). Près de deux tiers des AW (61) étaient basés sur un mélange de différentes plantes (deux à sept plantes), et un tiers des AW (31) sur une seule plante. Au total, 55 plantes ont été enregistrées. Les plantes médicinales les plus fréquemment mentionnées étaient les plantes du genre Juniperus (J. communis L. (19 AW), J. sabina L. (13 AW)) et Linum usitatissimum L. (18 AW), Matricaria chamomilla L. (13 AW) et Gentiana lutea L. (12 AW). Le traitement du Retentio secundinarum a été l>indication la plus fréquemment mentionnée (44 AW), suivie de la préparation à la parturition (17 AW) et du traitement de l>endométrite (15 AW). Les plantes les plus fréquemment enregistrées peuvent être divisées, en fonction de leurs composants et de leurs effets, en (a) plantes fourragères riches en énergie et en protéines, (b) plantes généralement appétissantes, favorisant la digestion et le métabolisme, (c) plantes médicinales ayant un effet organotropique gynécologique spécifique et (d) selon les connaissances actuelles, plantes principalement toxiques. Outre l'effet antimicrobien, une capacité de défense stable de l'endomètre contribue à la santé utérine. Les plantes classées sous (a) - (c) ont au moins le potentiel d'un effet positif sur le système immunitaire et la fonction de défense de l'endomètre et contribuent ainsi indirectement à la santé utérine.

[Comparison of mortality of lung cancer resections in France to other European countries]. / Comparaison de la mortalité des résections pulmonaires en France aux autres pays Européens.

BACKGROUND: France is characterized by the dispersion of its technical surgical platforms, and it seemed interesting for us to obtain information on quality of care compared to other European countries, which often have different organizations and practices. The objective of the study was to compare the 30-day mortality of patients operated on for bronchial cancer in France with that of other European countries. METHOD: We conducted a literature review on practices in different European countries. The terms used for the selection were: lung cancer surgery, 30-day mortality in different hospitals in European countries. RESULTS: We selected 9 articles corresponding to 9 European countries. The correlation coefficient between the number of lung resections per year and the population of the country was 0.967. The linear regression model between number of annual lung resections and population showed that except for Great Britain, most of the countries were close to the linear regression line. Germany and France had a mortality rate of 2.887% and 2.937% respectively, whereas the average is 2.13%. Following sensitivity analysis, the mortality rates for Germany and France remained higher than the average. CONCLUSION: France is among the European countries with the highest postoperative mortality rates. These results should induce surgical teams to adopt quality-of-care measures focusing on outcome analysis.

Considerações psicanalíticas sobre o risco na adolescência: relações entre a aposta de pascal e as "figuras diabólicas" na literatura / Psychoanalytic considerations about risk in adolescence: relations between pascal's bet and "diabolical figures" in literature / L'abord psychanalytique de la crise d'adolescence: apports de la problématique du pari et des figures de la "tentation diabolique"

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre a leitura lacaniana da Aposta de Pascal e sobre a dimensão do desejo, destacando as condutas de risco da adolescência e, especialmente, aquilo que muitas vezes é colocado sob o nome de uma tentação diabólica. Neste percurso buscou-se uma aproximação entre psicanálise e literatura, utilizando-se de textos cujos personagens entregam suas almas em pactos diabólicos, como as obras O diabo Enamorado, de Cazotte (1772), O Fausto, de Goethe (1790-1832), O Mandarim (1880), de Eça de Queiroz, Grande Sertão Veredas (1956), de Guimarães Rosa e Os demônios (1871), de Dostoiévski. Para apontarmos como o desejo pode se articular pela via das tentações inconscientes, aproximamo-nos das lógicas das figuras diabólicas e, por meio das narrativas dos adolescentes, estabelecemos a sua possível relação com o luto impossível, a recorrência do tédio, o preço da riqueza, a afirmação viril e a disposição da revolta.

This article presents a discussion on the Lacanian reading of Pascal's Bet and on the dimension of desire, highlighting the risk behaviors of adolescence and, especially, what is often placed under the name of a diabolic temptation. In this path, an approximation between psychoanalysis and literature was sought using texts whose characters give their souls in diabolical pacts, such as the works The Devil in Love, by Cazotte (1772), Faust, by Goethe (1790-1832), The Mandarin (1880), by Eça de Queiroz, Grande Sertão Veredas (1956), by Guimarães Rosa and Demons (1871), by Dostoiesvski. In order to point out how desire can be articulated through unconscious temptations, we approach the logic of diabolic figures, and, through the adolescents' narratives, we establish their possible relationship with impossible mourning, the recurrence of boredom, the price of wealth, the manly statement and the disposition of the revolt.

Cet article présente une réflexion sur la lecture lacanienne du pari de Pascal et sur la dimension du désir, mettant en évidence les comportements à risque de l'adolescence et, surtout, ce qui est souvent nommé comme tentation diabolique ou défini comme tentation diabolique. Dans ce parcours, une approximation entre la psychanalyse et la littérature a été cherchée à l'aide de textes dont les personnages livrent leurs âmes à traversles pactes diaboliques, tels comme les œuvres Le Diable amoureux, de Cazotte (1772), Faust, de Goethe (1790-1832), Le Mandarin (1880), de Eça de Queiroz, Grande Sertão Veredas (1956) de Guimaraes Rosa et Les Démons (1871), de Dostoiesvski. Afin de montrer comment le désir peut s'articuler à travers les tentations inconscientes, nous abordons la logique des figures diaboliques et, à travers les récits des adolescents, nous établissons leur possible relation avec le deuil impossible, la récurrence de l'ennui, le prix de la richesse, l'affirmation virile et la disposition de la révolte.

Insomnia, Medicalization, and Expert Knowledge.

Historians have clearly articulated the ways in which sleeplessness has long been part of the human condition. As an object of medical expertise and public health intervention, however, insomnia is a much more recent invention, having gained its status as a pathology during the 1870s. But while insomnia has attracted considerable and concerted attention from public health authorities allied with sleep medicine specialists, this phenomenon is not well explained by classical medicalization theory, in part because it is the sleepless sufferers, not the medical experts, who typically have the authority to diagnose insomnia. The dynamics of insomnia's history are better described as those of a boundary object, around which concepts and practices of biomedicine and psychology coalesce to frame contemporary notions of self-medicalization and self-experiment.

[Roles and impacts of the pharmacist in the management of insomnia: A literature review]. / Rôles et impacts du pharmacien dans la prise en charge de l'insomnie : une revue de la littérature.

BACKGROUND: Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that affects a large portion of the population in a situational, recurrent, or chronic way. In Canada, it is estimated that 13% of the population suffers from it. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this literature review is to identify and describe studies dealing with the role and impact of the management of insomnia by a pharmacist. METHOD: PubMed®, EMBASE® and CINALH Complete were searched to extract articles published between January 1st, 1990 and May 28, 2020. Studies on the role and impact of management of insomnia by a pharmacist, in French and English, descriptive or quantitative, with or without control group were included. Articles that did not deal with insomnia as the primary topic or where insomnia is a secondary condition were excluded, conference abstracts and studies showing no concrete results. The following variables were extracted: author, type of study, duration, location, sample size and characteristics of participants, description of pharmacist interventions, limits and biases, outcomes assessed and results. The quality of the pharmacists' interventions description was evaluated with DEPICT2. RESULTS: Our review identified eight articles published from 2006 to 2018 evaluating 14 types of outcomes and 41 separate outcomes. A total of 37% (7/19) of the quantitative outcomes had statistically significant positive results, regarding insomnia qualification, symptoms and adequate use. Six studies were conducted in community pharmacy. The quality score varied between 8 and 10 out of 11. CONCLUSION: There is little data on the role and impact of the management of insomnia by a pharmacist. The pharmacist can have a positive impact, particularly when practicing in a community pharmacy. Given the limited data and the prevalence of insomnia, it appears relevant to invest in pharmaceutical evaluative research for this condition.

Effets d'un programme de développement des compétences psychosociales en milieu scolaire : Le PROgramme de Développement Affectif et Social (PRODAS) : Revue de la littérature.

OBJECTIF: Le Programme de Développement Affectif et Social (PRODAS) est un programme de développement des compétences psychosociales des enfants ou adolescents mis en œuvre depuis 2005 en milieu scolaire par une association française (le Planning familial). L'objectif de cet article était de synthétiser les connaissances sur les effets de ce programme, afin de contribuer à l'étude de sa transférabilité. MÉTHODES: La revue de littérature réalisée a porté sur des études datant de 1970 à 2017. Ont été interrogées les bases de données : ScienceDirect, PsycNET, ERIC, PsycINFO, erudit, ISIDOR, Cochrane. Les mots clés utilisés étaient « Human Development Program ¼ ou « PRODAS ¼. RÉSULTATS: Une amélioration, le plus souvent significative, des compétences émotionnelles et sociales des enfants et des adolescents était rapportée. Une relation de type dose-effet était également suggérée par certains résultats. Peu de données étaient disponibles chez les jeunes enfants (école maternelle) et aucune étude n'explorait les effets du programme à long terme. CONCLUSION: Cette synthèse a permis de mettre en lumière les principaux effets du PRODAS. Toutefois, considérant que ce programme est un des seuls à s'adresser aux enfants dès 4 ans en France, de futures études portant sur des enfants d'écoles maternelles, avec un suivi à long terme, seraient utiles pour compléter les données sur l'efficacité d'un tel programme.

Experiências mediúnicas e dissociativas em Fernando Pessoa e C. G. Jung à luz da psicologia analítica e da psicologia anomalística / Mediumistic and dissociative experiences in Fernando Pessoa and C. G. Jung in light of analytical psychology and anomalistic psychology / Expériences médiumniques et dissociatives chez Fernando Pessoa et C. G. Jung à la lumière de la psychologie analytique et de la psychologie anomalistique / Experiencias mediúmnicas y disociativas en Fernando Pessoa y C. G. Jung a la luz de la psicología analítica y de la psicología anómala

Resumo O poeta Fernando Pessoa e o psiquiatra C. G. Jung desenvolveram suas obras em consonância com suas biografias. Ambos descreveram episódios que podem ser interpretados como mediúnicos, buscando, também, compreendê-los psicologicamente. Na literatura psicológica atual, a mediunidade pode ser entendida por meio do conceito de dissociação da personalidade. Dessa maneira, este artigo buscou examinar as relações entre dissociação e mediunidade a partir de episódios biográficos de Pessoa e de Jung, à luz da psicologia analítica e da psicologia anomalística. Hipotetiza-se que eles vivenciaram experiências dissociativas criativas e não patológicas, embora algum nível de sofrimento estivesse envolvido. Em Pessoa, as experiências dissociativas são relacionadas com sua produção hetoronímica, enquanto em Jung e suas investigações, com o desenvolvimento de seu modelo psicológico, que oferece elementos para um estudo psicobiográfico e artístico do poeta.

Abstract Poet Fernando Pessoa and psychiatrist C. G. Jung developed their works consonant with their biographies. Both described episodes that can be interpreted as mediumistic, seeking to understand them psychologically. In current psychological literature, mediumship is associated to the concept of personality dissociation. In this regard, this article examines the relationship between dissociation and mediumship based on Pessoa's and Jung's biographical episodes, in light of analytical psychology and anomalistic psychology. It is hypothesized that they experienced creative, non-pathological dissociations, although some level of suffering was involved. Pessoa's experiences are related to his hetoronymic production, whereas Jung's are tied with the development of his psychological model, which offers elements for a psychobiographical and artistic study of the poet.

Resumé Le poète Fernando Pessoa et le psychiatre C. G. Jung ont développé leurs œuvres en accord avec leurs biographies. Tous deux ont décrit des épisodes qui peuvent être interprétés comme médiumniques, en cherchant à les comprendre psychologiquement. Dans la littérature psychologique actuelle, la médiumnité est associée au concept de dissociation de la personnalité. À cet égard, cet article examine la relation entre dissociation et médiumnité à partir des épisodes biographiques de Pessoa et de Jung, à la lumière de la psychologie analytique et de la psychologie anomalistique. L'hypothèse est qu'ils ont fait l'expérience de dissociations créatives et non pathologiques, bien qu'un certain niveau de souffrance y ait été impliqué. Chez Pessoa, ces expériences sont liées à sa production hétéronymique, tandis que chez Jung, elles sont liées au développement de son modèle psychologique, ce qui offre des éléments pour une étude psychobiographique et artistic du poète.

Resumen El poeta Fernando Pessoa y el psiquiatra C. G. Jung desarrollaron sus obras en consonancia con sus biografías. Ambos describieron episodios que pueden interpretarse como mediúmnicos, también buscando comprenderlos psicológicamente. En la literatura de la psicología actual, la mediumnidad puede entenderse bajo el concepto de disociación de la personalidad. Así, este artículo buscó examinar la relación entre disociación y mediumnidad a partir de los episodios biográficos de Pessoa y Jung, a la luz de la psicología analítica y la psicología anomalística. La hipótesis supone que estos autores tuvieron experiencias disociativas creativas y no patológicas, aunque estas involucraron cierto nivel de sufrimiento. En Pessoa, las experiencias se relacionan con su producción de la heteronimia; y en Jung, con el desarrollo de su modelo psicológico, que ofrece elementos para un estudio psicobiográfico y artístico del poeta.
