Control of infectious diseases in refugee and displaced populations in developing countries / C. Paquet in Bulletin de l'Institut Pasteur, 96(1998)1 ([01/01/1998])  

[article] Control of infectious diseases in refugee and displaced populations in developing countries = Contrôle des maladies infectieuses chez les réfugiés et les populations déplacées dans les pays en développement [printed text] / C. Paquet, Author ; Germaine Hanquet, Author . - 1998 . - 3-14. Languages : English (eng) French (fre) in Bulletin de l'Institut Pasteur > 96(1998)1 [01/01/1998] . - 3-14 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Developing Countries ; Disease Transmission, Infectious ; France ; Journal Article ; Netherlands ; Peer Review Abstract: Large population displacements are always associated with a high rate of mortality due to infectious diseases. Measles immunization, the provision of clean water and sanitation and the effective management of malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia cases are the main measures for preventing excess mortality at the initial phase of a refugee influx. During the postemergency phase, public health activities also target specific issues such as tuberculosis and reproductive health.

Focus on Immunodeficiencies / J.L. Valverde / Amsterdam : IOS Press (2008)

Focus on Immunodeficiencies [printed text] / J.L. Valverde, Editor ; D. Watters, Editor . - Amsterdam : IOS Press, 2008 . - VI, 244 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. - (Pharmaceuticals Policy and law; 10) . ISBN : 978-1-58603-841-0 : € 100,00 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Indexation Developing Countries ; Economics ; Europe ; Immunity ; Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes ; Pharmacology ; Signs and Symptoms ; statistics and numerical data [Subheading] ; Therapeutics ; United States Classification WD 308 Immune complex disease. Immunologic deficiency syndromes (General or not elsewhere classified) Abstract: Proper treatment and early diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies is a worldwide public heath priority and therefore the tenth volume of Pharmaceuticals Policy and Law: Focus on Immunodeficiencies focuses on awareness about this issue for the sake of many patients in need. Primary immunodeficiencies in particular are a major public health issue and are still nowadays too often ignored. However, ignoring them is an extremely costly way to handle the issue. Not treating these patients can be an additional burden to the economy or just result in poverty and increased ill-health. Unfortunately, because symptoms of primary immunodeficiencies often manifest as common affections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or gastroenteritis, without proper knowledge about what causes these symptoms, many doctors focus on treating the symptoms rather than the cause. This leads to a huge waste of healthcare resources as the infections keep coming back and costly and prolonged hospital stays are needed. Proper treatment through immunoglobulin replacement therapy has been shown to significantly reduce episodes of infection, hospital stays and enable affected people to lead normal active professional lives. In order to put an end to this tendency, this volume strives to facilitate the increase of awareness of the issue. Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=2062

Is the 2000 CDC growth reference appropriate for developing countries? / Dominique Roberfroid in Public Health Nutrition, 9(2006)2 ([04/01/2006])  

[article] Is the 2000 CDC growth reference appropriate for developing countries? [printed text] / Dominique Roberfroid , Author ; M.-P. Lerude, Author ; A. Perez-Cueto, Author ; Patrick Kolsteren, Author . - 2006 . - 266-268. Languages : English (eng) in Public Health Nutrition > 9(2006)2 [04/01/2006] . - 266-268 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Age Factors ; Analysis of Variance ; Anthropometry ; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.) ; Child, Preschool ; Cluster Analysis ; Confidence Intervals ; Developing Countries ; Female ; Great Britain ; Humans ; Infant ; Infant, Newborn ; Journal Article ; Madagascar ; Male ; Nutrition Assessment ; Odds Ratio ; Sex Factors ; United States Abstract: In 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) produced a revised growth reference. This has already been used in different settings outside the USA. Using data obtained during a nutritional survey in Madagascar, we compare results produced by using both the 2000 CDC and the 1978 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/World Health Organization (WHO) growth references. We show that changing the reference has an important impact on nutritional diagnosis. In particular, the prevalence of wasting is greatly increased. This could generate substantial operational and clinical difficulties. We recommend continued use of the 1978 NCHS/WHO reference until release of the new WHO multi-country growth charts.

Management of malnutrition in preschool children: the role of primary health care services / T. Hoeree in Santé, 12(2002)1 ([01/01/2002])  

[article] Management of malnutrition in preschool children: the role of primary health care services = La prise en charge de la malnutrition chez les enfants préscolaires : le rôle des services de santé locaux [printed text] / T. Hoeree, Author ; Patrick Kolsteren, Author ; Dominique Roberfroid , Author . - 2002 . - 94-99. Languages : English (eng) French (fre) in Santé > 12(2002)1 [01/01/2002] . - 94-99 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Child Development ; Child Nutrition Disorders ; Child, Preschool ; Community health ; Developing Countries ; Female ; France ; Health Promotion ; Humans ; Journal Article ; Male ; Primary Health Care ; Primary Prevention ; Socioeconomic Factors Abstract: Depuis les années 90, les énormes progrès réalisés dans la compréhension de la physiopathologie de la malnutrition du jeune enfant se sont traduits par des améliorations considérables dans la formulation des stratégies de traitement au niveau des hôpitaux de référence. Des protocoles bien standardisés existent maintenant et ont prouvé leur efficacité pour réduire la mortalité associée aux cas graves d'amaigrissement. En revanche, les recommandations pour la prise en charge au niveau des services de santé de base n'ont guère changé, à l'exception de la prise en charge des infections infantiles. Ainsi, bien des occasions de repérer les cas et de les traiter à un stade précoce sont-elles perdues. Dans cet article, un cadre conceptuel est proposé pour mieux appréhender le processus et les différentes expressions de la malnutrition. Les modalités de prise en charge de la malnutrition, dans le cadre des programmes de santé à destination des enfants d'âge préscolaire, sont analysées sur cette base. On a en particulier cherché à identifier les lacunes et à élaborer des alternatives intégrant les services de santé de base dans une prise en charge plus globale. Ces services devraient ainsi être à même de jouer un rôle beaucoup plus important.
