Ce livre est le quatrième d'une série d'ouvrages consacrés à une sélection d'organisations internationales, publiés sous l'égide de l'Institut Universitaire de Hautes Études Internationales et de la Società italiana per l'organizzazione internationale de Rome : les trois premiers titres sont L'Organisation pour l'Alimentation et l'Agriculture, Le Comité International de la Croix-Rouge et L'Organisation Internationale du Travail. Ce livre sur l'OMS est le premier ouvrage universitaire, non médical, en français, sur cette organisation mal connue. Il décrit et évalue non seulement le mandat, la structure et l'administration de l'OMS, mais également l'évolution de sa stratégie et ses principaux programmes. Il rappelle tout d'abord ses origines historiques, les conférences sanitaires internationales et les premières organisations internationales de santé publique. Sont ensuite examinés la naissance de l'OMS, ses objectifs principaux et l'évolution de sa stratégie, y compris le concept de « La santé pour tous d'ici l'An 2000 » et les critiques qui lui ont été apportées. L'évolution structurelle de l'Organisation, la composition ainsi que le fonctionnement des organes directeurs sont ensuite abordés. Les limites normatives de l'OMS sont analysées, avec l'exemple de la difficile adoption du Code international de commercialisation des substituts du lait maternel, ainsi que les relations de l'Organisation avec les ONG. Dans le cadre du rôle opérationnel de l'OMS, l'échec du Programme d'éradication du paludisme, la croisade victorieuse contre la variole et la lutte contre le SIDA et l'onchocercose sont donnés en exemple. Enfin, les questions budgétaires et financières, la coordination et la coopération avec les autres organisations, dont le PNUD, l'UNICEF, le FNUAP et les organisations humanitaires sont aussi exposées. La conclusion résume les défis auxquels l'OMS est confrontée, les critiques qui lui sont adressées et les réformes envisagées.

Der Zusammenhang von Armut und Krankheit, bzw. mangelnder Gesundheit, ist immer schon klar ersichtlich gewesen. In einer Vorlesungsreihe stellten Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen, die sich im Göttingen International Health Network (GIHN) zusammengeschlossen haben, ausgewählte Aspekte vor, die darstellen, wie Armut und Gesundheit miteinander verknüpft sind. Die Fragen, Probleme, Erklärungs- und Interventionsmodelle beziehen sich besonders auf Afrika und Indien und Anrainerstaaten. Mit der Vorlesungsreihe stellten sich die Vertreter der verschiedenen Fächer bewusst einer allgemeineren Öffentlichkeit und bemühten sich, auch komplexe Themen verständlich und doch auf neuestem Stand der Forschung darzustellen. The connection between poverty and illness or lack of health has always been clear. In a series of lectures, representatives of various disciplines who have joined forces in the Göttingen International Health Network (GIHN) presented selected aspects that illustrate how poverty and health are linked together. The questions, problems, explanatory and intervention models particularly refer to Africa and India and riparian states. With the lecture series, the representatives of the various subjects deliberately set themselves apart from a more general public and endeavored to present even complex topics in a comprehensible and yet state-of-the-art way.

Stroke is a common cause of death and disability worldwide. Malnutrition is prevalent in stroke rehabilitation patients, and has serious negative effects on outcomes. In addition, there is growing interest in new concepts related to malnutrition, such as sarcopenia, frailty, cachexia, chronic inflammation, dysphagia, and oral problems, all of which contribute to a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to assess nutritional status early and, if needed, provide appropriate nutritional interventions to improve patient outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach is strongly recommended in this setting; as such, high-quality clinical evidence regarding clinical nutrition in stroke rehabilitation is needed. This reprint updates our knowledge of clinical nutrition for stroke patients and includes interesting studies on topics including nutrition and weight management in the early stages of stroke, the relationship between frailty and improved physical function, weight gain by providing stored energy, physical activity and diet quality, L-carnitine and cognitive levels, and the prediction of stroke prognosis using temporal muscles. The Guest Editor hopes that this reprint will help provide clinicians with up-to-date knowledge of nutritional management in stroke rehabilitation.

This open access book provides a set of conceptual, empirical, and comparative chapters that apply a public policy perspective to investigate the political and institutional factors driving the use of evidence to inform health policy in low, middle, and high income settings. The work presents key findings from the Getting Research Into Policy (GRIP-Health) project: a five year, six country, programme of work supported by the European Research Council. The chapters further our understanding of evidence utilisation in health policymaking through the application of theories and methods from the policy sciences. They present new insights into the roles and importance of factors such as issue contestation, institutional arrangements, logics of appropriateness, and donor influence to explore individual cases and comparative experiences in the use of evidence to inform health policy. Justin Parkhurst is Associate Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science (the LSE)’s Department of Health Policy, UK. He has conducted research on a range of global health policy issues and on the politics of evidence. He served as the Principal Investigator of the GRIP-Health programme of work. Benjamin Hawkins is Associate Professor at the Department of Global Health and Development, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. His research focuses on the role of research evidence and corporate actors in health policy making. In addition, he works on European integration, multi-level governance international trade and political economy approaches to health policy. Stefanie Ettelt is Associate Professor at the Department of Health Services Research and Policy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. Her work examines the tensions between structure and agency in explaining the influence of evidence and research on policy-making and health system governance, particularly from a comparative perspective. .
