Abstract

This book provides a critical and comprehensive review of the methodologies available for measuring drug adherence in clinical practice, including those relying on emerging technologies. The authors discuss the risk factors of non-adherence and shed light on how to identify patients at risk of poor adherence. Drug therapies in chronic diseases rely heavily on the patient's adherence, since drugs that are not taken are ineffective and leave the patient at high risk of developing clinical complications. Given the absence of new drugs for the treatment of hypertension, drug adherence is particularly important in these patients to improve blood pressure control. The book further investigates a new aspect, namely the importance of drug adherence in clinical trials and studies and draws attention to the limits of developing drugs without significant information on drug adherence. Several chapters are dedicated to the importance of adherence in specific forms of hypertension, such as resistant hypertension, dyslipidemia and hypertension associated with cardiovascular risk. As experts confronted with drug adherence in their daily practice, the authors analyse the real effectiveness of several interventions aimed at improving drug adherence and put particular emphasis on the importance of an interdisciplinary approach involving nurses and pharmacists. The volume also includes a careful analysis of the health and economic impact of poor adherence. The book is aimed at physicians, pharmacists, students and all health professionals dealing not only with hypertension or dyslipidemia, but also with chronic asymptomatic diseases such as diabetes, HIV or chronic respiratory diseases.

Abstract

The primary cause of death related to cancers can be traced back to metastases, originated from cancer cells. The presence of metastatic disease, the spread of cancer cells, is the most important prognostic and survival factor in patients with cancer. Although treatment of the primary tumor is well established and usually results in local control, treating metastatic disease is a much more daunting task. At diagnosis, few patients present with clinically detectable metastatic lesions regardless of the clinical prognostic factor. Clinical trials assessing potential therapeutic agents are important in order to define the best specific treatment for a particular patient, which are the basis for patient-oriented research that eventually lead to personalized medicine. This volume aims to comprehensively present the latest research and information about metastasis. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the metastatic phenomenon could have vast implications for the large number of patients who are at a high risk for the development of metastasis.

Abstract

Sida, vache folle, fièvre aphteuse, tabac, amiante, mais aussi effets de la pauvreté et de la précarité sur la santé ou encore décryptage du génome… Jamais les grands enjeux de la santé publique n’ont autant fait irruption dans notre vie quotidienne qu’au cours de ces dernières années. Au même moment, à l’autre bout du monde la diarrhée, le paludisme ou la tuberculose continuent chaque jour à tuer silencieusement des milliers de personnes. Il est remarquable de constater à quel point la mondialisation du commerce, des investissements et de la communication amplifie ces enjeux et leur donne, par le biais de leur valeur économique et sociale, un relief particulièrement menaçant. Des spécialistes de disciplines diverses (santé publique, économistes, sociologues, anthropologues, acteurs de terrain) nous font partager leurs interrogations quant au lien entre problèmes de santé publiques et les approches néolibérales de l'économie.

Abstract

Comment et dans quelles conditions les rapports sociaux entre hommes et femmes influencent-ils la capacité des gens à prendre soin quotidiennement de leur vie et de leur santé ? Comment la prise en compte des rapports de genre permet-elle une autre lecture des déterminants de la santé ? Si on admet que les rapports sociaux entre hommes et femmes transforment les facteurs déterminants de la santé, quels sont les changements à apporter dans nos pratiques et dans celles des intéressés, tant dans la formulation des politiques de santé que dans la mise en œuvre de projets ? Ce sont ces questionnements et des débuts d’expériences qui sont partagés dans cet ouvrage.
