Realisation d'une enquete prospective, comparant trois groupes de parturientes, le premier comprenant des femmes gardant la meme position pendant le travail (decubitus dorsal et/ou lateral), le deuxieme compose de parturientes alternant les positions sur la table d'accouchement, et le troisieme alternant les positions et utilisant le ballon et/ou la baignoire. Resultats: 110 dossiers ont ete etudies. Le premier interet obstetrical du changement de positions pendant le travail est l'amelioration du confort des parturientes. Puis c'est la diminution du temps de travail, avec une meilleure dynamique uterine et une meilleure dilatation cervicale. Conclusion: Le suivi des parturientes devrait s'accompagner d'une prise en charge de leur mobilite et de propositions de differentes positions a adopter au cours du travail. La sage-femme joue a ce niveau un role primordial, mais egalement en consultation ou en preparation a la naissance, ou elle encourage la femme a etre active quant a sa grossesse et son accouchement. Des moyens simples sont facilement utilisables pour le realiser, qui replacent la clinique avant la technique."

Utilise dans de nombreux domaines, les solvants organiques entrent dans la composition de divers produits. Parmi ces domaines la fabrication de chaussures represente un grand consommateur de colles, de diluants et de decapants a bases de solvants organiques. Dans le cadre de l'evaluation du risque nous nous sommes interesses a l'impact sanitaire des expositions professionnelles aux solvants organiques dans l'industrie de fabrication des colles et leurs applications dans l'industrie de chaussures dans la region de Sfax en Tunisie. Elles sont parmi les industries les plus developpees dans notre region. Les deux objectifs principaux de cette etude ont ete de hierarchiser le risque chimique des differentes expositions professionnelles aux solvants et/ou aux colles en tenant compte a la fois du secteur d'activite et du poste de travail, et d'en preciser les niveaux atmospheriques; et d'evaluer les impacts sanitaires des expositions aux principaux solvants en milieu professionnel par la mesure des indicateurs d'expositions biologiques couples a des indicateurs de neurotoxicose par des mesures posturales.

Confidence, savoir et mystere, ces trois termes peuvent etre associes au secret. Lequel parmi eux se prete le mieux a la description du secret medical? L'objet de ce travail est d'une part de mettre en evidence l'origine et la raison d'etre du secret medical en tissant des liens entre l'histoire de la medecine et les connaissances sur la structure psychologique du sujet inspiree de la theorie psychanalytique. Nous avons egalement aborde la structuration du discours medical, laquelle nous est apparu finalement peu compatible avec l'abord du contenu du secret. Enfin, nous avons tente de decrire la nature du secret, sa nature sexuelle, le savoir sur la mort qu'il recele, mais aussi le grand embarras qu'il suscite au sein de la relation entre medecin et malade.

De nombreux medicaments ne sont pas etudies specifiquement chez les enfants et les essais cliniques en pediatrie sont difficiles a realiser pour des raisons ethiques et pratiques. En decembre 2006 est donc paru un nouveau reglement Europeen afin de garantir que les nouveaux medicaments pediatriques et les medicaments deja commercialises soient adaptes aux besoins des enfants. Il definit en particulier des exigences pour proteger les enfants participant aux essais cliniques. De nombreuses mesures ont ete prises en France et en Europe comme la redaction de guidelines ou la mise en place de reseaux nationaux. Des outils novateurs sont aussi developpes. Ce travail presente les problemes rencontres avec les medicaments pediatriques, la nouvelle reglementation mise en place et ses perspectives pour ameliorer et faciliter la mise sur le marche de medicaments specifiquement adaptes aux enfants.

men. Topics include: the epidemiology and temporal trends of low bone mass, osteoporosis and related fractures; the morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures; low bone mass risk factors and etiology; and osteoporotic risk assessment. The book includes a study with the goal of understanding workers social representation of occupational risks and preventive measures. A qualitative approach was utilised based on social representation theory processual approach. The sample was comprised of male workers from a municipal service responsible for cleaning and conservation of the public area with no permanent contract in a large city in the South-eastern region of Brazil. The authors describe working conditions and health conditions of men from small enterprises in Campinas Fruit and Vegetables Warehouse Wholesale. A cross-sectional study with a sample of 200 male workers was developed. Data collection was performed using the following instruments: questionnaire with socio-demographic data, lifestyle, health and work aspects, QSETES elaborated on by author Monteiro and a stress scale adapted by Monteiro based on Elo et al. The authors study the status of women in India, arguing that many poor health outcomes of girls and women can be attributed to their low rank in society. Specifically, the focus is on female economic devaluation, specifically dowry, an issue with historical antecedents that has failed to be addressed or even exacerbated by the entry of the country into the global economy. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is examined as one of the worlds leading causes of maternal mortality. Various conservative surgical procedures have been developed in recent years to reduce the need for hysterectomy, including external compression sutures, selective de-vascularization by surgical ligation or radiological embolization of the uterine and pelvic arteries and intrauterine balloon tamponade. The authors also examine the correlation between the development of congenital malformations and teratogenesis brought on by adverse conditions within the millieur interieur of the developing embryo, suggesting that the pharmacokinetic processes must be seen in the perspective of maternal and fetal lethal dose parameters. A study on perceived motives for contraceptive interference (CI) is included, hypothesizing that common barriers to male condom use might also be perceived as motives for CI enacted by a man toward his female partner.
