Abstract

Les moyens qui sont mis en oeuvre pour transmettre des idées ou un programme politique donnent parfois l'impression que la forme l'emporte sur le contenu. La question des entourages qui conseillent les dirigeants, notamment dans les strates élevées de l'Etat et des appareils partisans, est donc centrale. Depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, les figures de l'attachée de presse, puis celles du conseiller en communication ou du spin doctor, sont apparues dans les entourages politiques et se sont rapidement imposées au point dette devenus quasiment incontournables. Spécialistes dans l'art de fournir des éléments de langage à leur patron, ces conseillers semblent de plus en plus omniprésents dans les arcanes de la vie politique. Cet ouvrage propose un voyage inédit dans l'histoire des communicants et de la communication politique, à travers l'étude de quelque monographies, de moments particuliers de la vie politique ou en analysant la stratégie communicationnelle de partis politiques.

Abstract

Introduction : L’erreur médicale est une problématique de santé publique qui touche, en Belgique, environ 20 000 personnes par an. Entre 2 000 et 3 000 personnes décèdent chaque année sur le territoire belge suite à une erreur iatrogène. L’erreur est humaine. L’éradiquer de la discipline médicale est très difficile. Les séquelles physiques, psychologiques, somatiques entraînent d’importants coûts chaque année. Les médecins sont les professionnels de la santé les plus pointés du doigt en ce qui concerne la question de responsabilité. Pourtant leur formation présente, à notre époque, des lacunes en matière de sécurité du patient. Entre temps, les étudiants en médecine s’exposent au risque de commettre des erreurs mé-dicales durant leurs stages pratiques. &#13;Objectif : Évaluer et comparer les connaissances en matière d’erreurs médicales chez les futurs médecins de l’Université de Liège.&#13;Matériel et méthodes : Nous avons réalisé une étude transversale analytique avec l’aide d’un questionnaire semi-ouvert, en ligne, soumis aux futurs médecins de l’Université de Liège. Les analyses ont été menées sur la population échantillonnée en 3 groupes d’étudiants en médecine ; bacheliers, masters et masters de spécialisation. La récolte des données a duré 39 jours.&#13;Résultats : Nous avons obtenu 188 participants à l’étude, âgés de 18 à 31 ans. Parmi les ré-pondants, 74,4 % n’ont pas de connaissance des erreurs médicales. Parmi les étudiants en bachelier, 45,8% ont connaissance de l’origine d’une erreur médicale et 35,9% des étudiants en master connaissent approximativement le nombre d’erreurs médicales que compte la Belgique. De manière générale, il ressort que le fait d’avoir des connaissances à ce sujet n’est pas significatif du groupe dans lequel ils appartiennent.&#13;Conclusion : Il semble que l’information et la formation des futurs médecins de l’Université de Liège concernant les erreurs médicales ne soient pas optimales en 2019. Seuls les futurs médecins ayant déjà entendu parler des différents types d’erreurs médicales sont suscep-tibles d’avoir des connaissances en matière d’erreurs médicales. Introduction : Medical errors are a public health problem that affects about 20,000 people yearly in Belgium. Iatrogenic errors alone account for 2,000 to 3,000 deaths each year on Belgian territory. The error being human, eradicating it from the medical discipline is very difficult. Physical, psychological and somatic consequences brought about by these errors result in significant costs each year. A physician’s profession is one associated with one of the highest levels of accountability. Yet, deficiencies in matters related to patients’ security still exist in medical students’ training. Incidentally, medical students run the risk of committing medical errors during their apprenticeships.&#13;Objective : To evaluate and compare the knowledge of medical errors among future doctors at the University of Liège. &#13;Materials and methods : We carried out an analytical cross-sectional study with the help of a semi-open, online questionnaire aimed at future doctors at the University of Liège. The analyses were conducted on the population sample in three categories of medical students: Bachelor’s, Master’s and Specialisation Master's degree students. The data collection took 39 days. &#13;Results : There were 188 participants between the ages of 18 to 31. Among the respondents, 76.7% have no knowledge of medical errors. 45.8% of Bachelor’s degree students are aware of the origin of medical errors while 35.9% of Master's students are aware of the number of medical errors in Belgium. In general, results suggests that having knowledge on the subject at hand is not dependent on the category in which students belong.&#13;Conclusion : It seems that information in connection to medical errors and as a result, current training of future physicians at the University of Liège is not optimal in 2019. Only the future physicians having already heard about the different types of medical errors are likely to have knowledge of medical errors.

Abstract

"We need to talk about Hippocrates. Current scholarship attributes none of the works of the 'Hippocratic corpus' to him, and the ancient biographical traditions of his life are not only late, but also written for their own promotional purposes. Yet Hippocrates features powerfully in our assumptions about ancient medicine, and our beliefs about what medicine -- and the physician himself -- should be. In both orthodox and alternative medicine, he continues to be a model to be emulated. This book will challenge widespread assumptions about Hippocrates (and, in the process, about the history of medicine in ancient Greece and beyond) and will also explore the creation of modern myths about the ancient world. Why do we continue to use Hippocrates, and how are new myths constructed around his name? How do news stories and the internet contribute to our picture of him? And what can this tell us about wider popular engagements with the classical world today, in memes, 'quotes' and online?"--

Abstract

This book offers an easy-to-read, yet comprehensive introduction to practical issues in doctor–patient relationships in a typical low- and middle-income country setting in India, examining in detail the reasons for erosion of trust and providing guidance on potential research areas in the field. It strikes a balance between empirical work and theoretical normative analysis, while adopting mixed-method research in exploring important constructs in the doctor–patient relationship, such as trust, solidarity, advocacy, patient-centeredness, privacy, and confidentiality. Since the concept of trust has direct implications for the ethical practice of medicine, the book is a valuable resource for academics and researchers in the field of medical, clinical, and applied ethics.

Abstract

Frances Burney is primarily known as a novelist and playwright, but in recent years there has been an increased interest in the medical writings found within her private letters and journals. John Wiltshire advocates Burney as the unconscious pioneer of the modern genre of pathography, or the illness narrative. Through her dramatic accounts of distinct medical events, such as her own infamous operation without anaesthetic, to those she witnessed, including the 'madness' of George III and the inoculation of her son against smallpox, Burney exposes the ethical issues and conflicts between patients and doctors. Her accounts are linked to a range of modern narratives in which similar events occur in the changed conditions of the public hospital. The genre that Burney initiated continues to make an important contribution to our understanding of medical practice in the modern world.

Abstract

In 1768, Ahmad al-Damanhuri became the rector (shaykh) of al-Azhar, which was one of the most authoritative and respected positions in the Ottoman Empire. He occupied this position until his death. Despite being a prolific author, whose writings are largely extant, al-Damanhuri remains almost unknown, and much of his work awaits study and analysis. This book aims to shed light on al-Damanhuri's diverse intellectual background, and that of and his contemporaries, building on and continuing the scholarship on the academic thought of the late Ottoman Empire. The book specifically investigates the intersection of medical and religious knowledge in Eighteenth-Century Egypt. It takes as its focus a manuscript on anatomy by al-Damanhuri (d. 1778), entitled "The Clear Statement on the Science of Anatomy (al-qawl al-sarih fi 'ilm al-tashrih),". The book includes an edited translation of The Clear Statement, which is a well-known but unstudied and unpublished manuscript. It also provides a summary translation and analysis of al-Damanhuri's own intellectual autobiography. As such, the book provides an important window into a period that remains deeply understudied and a topic that continues to cause debates and controversies. This study, therefore, will be of keen interest to scholars working on the "post-Classical" Islamic world, as well as historians of religion, science, and medicine looking beyond Europe in the Early Modern period.

Abstract

What happens to black health care professionals in the new economy, where work is insecure and organizational resources are scarce? In Flatlining, Adia Harvey Wingfield exposes how hospitals, clinics, and other institutions participate in "racial outsourcing," relying heavily on black doctors, nurses, technicians, and physician assistants to do "equity work"-extra labor that makes organizations and their services more accessible to communities of color. Wingfield argues that as these organizations become more profit driven, they come to depend on black health care professionals to perform equity work to serve increasingly diverse constituencies. Yet black workers often do this labor without recognition, compensation, or support. Operating at the intersection of work, race, gender, and class, Wingfield makes plain the challenges that black employees must overcome and reveals the complicated issues of inequality in today's workplaces and communities.
