Background:
General practitioners (GPs) do not systematically include preventive recommendations in their practice, and some characteristics of health care organization are associated with more systematic prevention. But the characteristics of health care organization may act in a nonuniform manner depending on the type of preventive care. Thus, one characteristic can be positively associated with one type of preventive care and negatively associated with another. Our aim was to investigate the association between health care organization in general practice and different areas of preventive care (immunization and addiction prevention), in search of nonuniform associations.
Methods:We used a representative survey of 1,813 French GPs conducted in 2009. Four preventive care practices were studied: immunization through flu and HPV vaccination, and prevention of addictive behaviors concerning tobacco and alcohol use.
Characteristics of GPs’ health care organization and the social context of their practice were collected (spatial accessibility to GPs and socioeconomic level of the area of practice). We constructed mixed models to study associations and interactions between the organization variables and preventive care.
Results:Four out of five characteristics of GPs’ organization have uneven impacts on different types of preventive care (p-interaction < 10-4). For example, number of daily consultations is associated with better immunization prevention but with poorer prevention counseling in addictive behaviors. In contrast, working with digital medical files is uniformly associated with both types of preventive care (OR = 1.29 [1.15–1.45]; P < 10-4).
Conclusion:An approach centered on specific types of preventive care should help deepen our understanding of prevention and possibly help to identify a new typology for preventive care.

Background
Peritraumatic dissociation is a risk factor for developing PTSD. The Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire (PDEQ) is a self-report inventory used to assess dissociation that occurred at the time of a trauma. The aim of this study was the validation the PDEQ in French.
MethodsNinety French speaking traumatized victims presenting to the emergency department were recruited. They were administered the PDEQ shortly after exposure and others trauma-related measures 2 weeks and 1 month posttrauma.
ResultsPrincipal components factor analyses suggested a single factor solution for the PDEQ. Significant correlations between the PDEQ and acute and posttraumatic stress symptoms indicated moderate to strong convergent validity. The PDEQ also showed satisfactory test–retest reliability and internal consistency.
ConclusionsThis study is the first one to investigate such detailed psychometric findings on the PDEQ. This confirms the unity of the concept of peritraumatic dissociation and the value of the PDEQ-French Version to assess it.

Introduction:
Disasters are high-acuity, low-frequency events which require medical providers to respond in often chaotic settings. Due to this infrequency, skills can atrophy, so providers must train and drill to maintain them. Historically, drilling for disaster response has been costly, and thus infrequent. Virtual Reality Environments (VREs) have been demonstrated to be acceptable to trainees, and useful for training Disaster Medicine skills. The improved cost of virtual reality training can allow for increased frequency of simulation and training.
Problem:The problem addressed was to create a novel Disaster Medicine VRE for training and drilling.
Methods:A VRE was created using SecondLife (Linden Lab; San Francisco, California USA) and adapted for use in Disaster Medicine training and drilling. It is easily accessible for the end-users (trainees), and is adaptable for multiple scenario types due to the presence of varying architecture and objects. Victim models were created which can be role played by educators, or can be virtual dummies, and can be adapted for wide ranging scenarios. Finally, a unique physiologic simulator was created which allows for dummies to mimic disease processes, wounds, and treatment outcomes.
Results:The VRE was created and has been used extensively in an academic setting to train medical students, as well as to train and drill disaster responders.
Conclusions:This manuscript presents a new VRE for the training and drilling of Disaster Medicine scenarios in an immersive, interactive experience for trainees.

In the mid-1990s, excellent results from the GRIP and GISP2 deep drilling projects in Greenland opened up funding for continued ice-coring efforts in Antarctica (EPICA) and Greenland (NorthGRIP). The Glaciology Group of the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, was assigned the task of providing drilling capability for these projects, as it had done for the GRIP project. The group decided to further simplify existing deep drill designs for better reliability and ease of handling. The drill design decided upon was successfully tested on Hans Tausen Ice Cap, Peary Land, Greenland, in 1995. The 5.0m long Hans Tausen (HT) drill was a prototype for the ~11m long EPICA and NorthGRIP versions of the drill which were mechanically identical to the HT drill except for a much longer core barrel and chips chamber. These drills could deliver up to 4m long ice cores after some design improvements had been introduced. The Berkner Island (Antarctica) drill is also an extended HT drill capable of drilling 2 m long cores. The success of the mechanical design of the HT drill is manifested by over 12 km of good-quality ice cores drilled by the HT drill and its derivatives since 1995.

In October, 1936, the King of the Belgians, Leopold III, announced that the small Western European state planned to withdraw from her policy of alignment and adopt a policy which was “exclusively and completely Belgian.” Within six months, by the spring of 1937, Belgium signed an agreement with the French and British that replaced the defunct Locarno Pact and released her from the consultations and commitments involved in the Franco-Belgian Military Accords of 1920. The foreign policy of Belgium was altered to one of “independence” or neutrality and the two major powers of the West formally guaranteed her territorial integrity.

Summary
Schistosome infections cause much suffering in millions of people living in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and South America (Prata, 1987; Chitsulo et al., 2000). The most severe clinical symptoms affect the kidneys and urinary tract. However, schistosomes also cause various other disorders such as heart failure and neurological diseases. Three species of schistosome are responsible for most human infections (Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum, and Schistosoma haematobium). These species are found in different geographical locations, have different vectors, and cause different symptoms. Schistosomes are multicellular parasites that are disseminated as free swimming larvae (cercariae) in ponds, lakes, and rivers by snails. Humans become infected when they stay in contaminated water for a few minutes. The cercariae penetrate the human skin and develop into male or female adult schistosomes within 5 or 6 weeks. These small worms (Fig. 12.1A) can live in the vascular system of their vertebrate host for 2 to 5 years. Schistosomes do not multiply within their vertebrate host. The female worms, however, lay hundreds of eggs per day in the mesenteric or vesical veins of their host. Most of the symptoms associated with these infections are caused by the inflammation that is induced by the immunogenic and toxic substances produced by the eggs. The chronic cellular reaction that develops around the eggs is organised in a granuloma (Von Lichtenberg, 1962; Warren et al., 1967).

Summary
Introduction
The advent of neuroimaging has allowed clinicians to improve clinico-anatomic correlations in patients with strokes. Anatomic structures are now well delineated on magnetic resonance imaging, and a knowledge of arterial territories is needed to achieve accurate localization of ischemic lesions.
MRI studies have re-evaluated the clinical spectrum of both anterior and posterior circulation strokes. Because the topographic, etiologic, and clinical spectra vary, large prospective studies including well-documented patients are of upmost importance. Classical syndromes have been revisited and new clinical patterns highlighted. However, most of the recent studies are based on various anatomic support and sometimes even lack anatomic reference. In this latter case, MRI is sometimes even considered to be an effective means of identifying etiologies according to the location of the infarction. On the other hand, only scarce reports exist in which the arterial vascular territories are well identified by anatomic studies. This lack of standardization in both arterial territory localization and the planes used to identify them, mar totally the accuracy of such reports. This recent neuroimaging development necessitates a precise and standardized tool for anatomo-radioclinical correlations.
However, a perfect knowledge in the general organization of brain arterial circulation is the first step needed for a good understanding in some particularities of brain arterial territories. The present chapter is designed to show precise brain arterial circulation organization and to depict brain arterial territories in a form directly applicable to neuroimaging slices in clinical practice.
General organization of brain arterial circulation
Brainstem
Arterial trunks supplying the brainstem include: vertebral artery, basilar artery, anterior and posterior spinal arteries, posterior inferior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery, superior cerebellar artery, posterior cerebral artery, and anterior choroidal artery (Fig. 29.1).

The ripening of the Anglo-American friendship in the first half of the nineteenth century was truly an evolutionary process, but most observers agree that in the diplomatic sphere the significant aspects of that early rapprochement took place about the time of the Webster–Ashburton agreement. One previously unknown factor involved in this development centred on British and American cooperation in the Belgian indemnification dispute in the late thirties and forties. This struggle by several major powers aimed at receiving indemnities from the newly created state for property damages incurred during the Belgian revolution of 1830 in Antwerp.

En marge d'un mémoire sur les finances de la ville de Gand, que vient ie couronner l'Académie de Belgique et qui va doter l'histoire urbaine des Pays-Bas d'un monument comparable aux ouvrages similaires d'Espinas, de Bûcher, de Sieveking et de Stilda, Mr Hans Van Werveke nous donne le résultat de ses recherches sur Les conséquences économiques et sociales de la politique monétaire des comtes de Flandre de 1337 à 1433 : étude très courte, mais riche d'aperçus nouveaux.
Le titre même du travail appelle une première observation : les mots «politique monétaire», qui impliquent une notion de dessein, peuvent-ils s'appliquer aux mutations des monnaies auxquelles ont dû procéder les comtes de Flandre, contraints et forcés, comme la plupart des princes de leur temps ? On en peut douter.
