Profil épidémiologique de la Tuberculose, Sénégal, 2009-2018: Epidemiological profile of Tuberculosis, Senegal, 2009-2018
Introduction: Le fardeau de la tuberculose (TB) pose un grave probleÌme de santeÌ publique au SeÌneÌgal. Nous avons analyseÌ les donneÌes de surveillance de la tuberculose pour deÌcrire le poids et la tendance de la tuberculose au SeÌneÌgal. MĂ©thodes: Nous avons effectueÌ une analyse secondaire des donneÌes de surveillance de la tuberculose du 1er janvier 2009 au 31 deÌcembre 2018 du programme national de lutte contre la tuberculose (PNT). RĂ©sultats: Au total, 128 836 cas de tuberculose toutes formes ont eÌteÌ analyseÌes dont 67,42% de nouveaux cas de TB pulmonaire confirmeÌe par microscopie. Les personnes aÌgeÌes de 25-34 ans repreÌsentaient 29,66%. Le sex-ratio H/F eÌtait de 2,33. Dakar avait rapporteÌ la plupart des cas 44,17%. L'incidence pour 100 000 habitants eÌtait de 91, 87 et 86 en 2009, 2008 et 2011, de 93, 95 et 95 en 2012, 2013 et 2014 et de 92, 86, 87 et 84 en 2015, 2016, 2017 et 2018. La majoriteÌ des cas (77%) avaient eÌteÌ testeÌs pour le VIH, dont 6,84% co-infecteÌs. Le taux de TB multireÌsistante (TB-MR) eÌtait de 11%. Conclusion: Au SeÌneÌgal, l'incidence de la tuberculose a leÌgeÌrement diminueÌ en raison du faible taux de deÌtection qui eÌtait de 62% en 2018. Le nombre de cas deÌtecteÌ a augmenteÌ entre 2013 et 2014, mais elle restait infeÌrieure aÌ celle estimeÌe par l'organisation mondiale de la santeÌ. Une surveillance accrue de la tuberculose et un suivi des tuberculeux pour eÌviter la pharmaco-reÌsistance sont neÌcessaires.
Introduction: The burden of tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem in Senegal. We analysed TB surveillance data to describe the burden and trend of TB in Senegal. Method: We conducted a secondary analysis of TB surveillance data from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2018 from the national TB control programme (NTP). Results: A total of 128,836 cases of all forms of tuberculosis were analysed, of which 67.42% were new cases of microscopically confirmed pulmonary TB. Persons aged 25-34 years accounted for 29.66%. The sex ratio M/F was 2.33. Dakar reported most cases 44.17%. The incidence per 100 000 populations was 91, 87 and 86 in 2009, 2008 and 2011, 93, 95 and 95 in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 92, 86, 87 and 84 in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The majority of cases (77%) had tested positive for HIV, with 6.84% co-infected. The rate of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) was 11%. Conclusion: In Senegal, the incidence of TB has slightly decreased due to the low detection rate which was 62% in 2018. The number of detected cases increased between 2013 and 2014, but it remained below that estimated by the World Health Organization. Increased surveillance of TB and monitoring of TB patients to avoid drug resistance is needed.
 
Den Blomstertid nu kommer : En essÀ om hur jag som pedagog kan bryta gamla traditioner för att motverka utanförskap i min undervisning
This essay aims at investigating how, as a teacher, I can break old patterns and traditions to help all pupils feel like a meaningful part of the context of my teaching. The essay has its starting point in two events that I have been involved in and these two stories deal with the same type of dilemma: that, as an educator, I experience an uncertainty about how students' cultural differences should be given space in teaching in a way that all students feel included and seen. After five years of working in both school and leisure, you would think that I should be better prepared and have more experience with these kind of questions. However, the experiences described in my stories show how complex these questions are and through this work, therefore, a reflection is shared on how I can get better at seeing and giving way to the children's cultural differences in my teaching. Based on the teacher assignment, I intend to problematize the fact that we live at a time when many of the student groups in our schools consist of children with different cultural backgrounds and beliefs. The stories in the beginning of this essay show two almost opposite reactions from me of the same kind of problem. In order to understand why I react like I do in these different situations, I have chosen to problematize my own cultural background and belief in relation to my dilemma and teacher assignments. This is to investigate if and if so, how my cultural background affects me in my work with traditions and culture within my major subject, which is music

Consultation personnalisée d'évaluation du risque de cancer du sein: premiers résultats
International audienceIntroductionIn France, participation in the organized breast cancer screening program remains insufficient. A personalized approach adapted to the risk factors for breast cancer (RBC) should make screening more efficient. A RBC evaluation consultation would therefore make it possible to personalize this screening. Here we report our initial experience.Material and methodThis is a prospective study on women who were seen at the RBC evaluation consultation and analyzing: their profile, their risk assessed according to Tyrer Cuzick model (TC) ± Mammorisk© (MMR), the existence of an indication of oncogenetic consultation (Eisinger and Manchester score), their satisfaction and the recommended monitoring.ResultsAmong the women who had had a TCS and/or MMR evaluation of SCR (n = 153), 76 (50%) had a high risk (n = 67) or a very high risk (n = 9). Almost half (47%) had a possible (15%) or certain (32%) indication to an oncogenetic consultation. Regarding this consultation, 98% of women were satisfied or very satisfied. In total, 60% of women had a change in screening methods.ConclusionThis RBC evaluation consultation satisfies women and for a majority of them, modifies their methods of breast cancer screening.IntroductionLâadhĂ©sion en France au programme de dĂ©pistage organisĂ© du cancer du sein demeure insuffisante. Une approche personnalisĂ©e adaptĂ©e aux facteurs de risque de cancer du sein (RCS) permettrait une meilleure efficience du dĂ©pistage. Une consultation dâĂ©valuation du RCS permettrait donc de personnaliser ce dĂ©pistage. Nous rapportons ici notre expĂ©rience initiale.MatĂ©riel et mĂ©thodeIl sâagit dâune Ă©tude prospective portant sur les femmes ayant Ă©tĂ© vues Ă la consultation dâĂ©valuation du RCS et analysant : leur profil, leur risque Ă©valuĂ© selon les modĂšles de Tyrer Cuzick (TC) ± Mammorisk© (MMR), lâexistence dâune indication de consultation dâoncogĂ©nĂ©tique (scores dâEisinger et de Manchester), leur satisfaction et la surveillance prĂ©conisĂ©e.RĂ©sultatsParmi les femmes ayant eu une Ă©valuation du RCS par le modĂšle TC et/ou MMR (n = 153), 76 (50 %) avaient un risque Ă©levĂ© (n = 67) ou trĂšs Ă©levĂ© (n = 9). PrĂšs de la moitiĂ© (47 %) avait une indication possible (15 %) ou certaine (32 %) Ă une consultation dâoncogĂ©nĂ©tique. Concernant cette consultation, 98 % des femmes Ă©taient satisfaites ou trĂšs satisfaites. Au total, 60 % des femmes ont eu un changement des modalitĂ©s de surveillance.ConclusionCette consultation dâĂ©valuation du RCS satisfait les femmes et pour une majoritĂ© dâentre elles, modifie les modalitĂ©s de leur surveillance mammaire
Conseiller, diriger par lettre
La lettre, discours adressĂ© Ă une personne ou Ă un ensemble de personnes, est souvent le lieu de suggestions, d'avertissements ou d'exhortations, quand l'Ă©pistolier Ă©crit pour influer sur la pensĂ©e et le comportement de son correspondant, ou mĂȘme assume le rĂŽle de directeur de conscience. Cette fonction de l'Ă©criture Ă©pistolaire - conseiller, diriger, prescrire - invite Ă examiner plus prĂ©cisĂ©ment la relation au destinataire, la figure d'autoritĂ© que construit la lettre pour inspirer confiance, les moyens dĂ©ployĂ©s pour convaincre, l'adaptation Ă telle circonstance particuliĂšre, l'articulation entre perspective thĂ©orique et cas pratique. La lettre de conseil dĂ©borde d'autant mieux le cadre argumentatif de la dĂ©libĂ©ration qu'elle sert parfois Ă conforter une opinion acquise (parĂ©nĂšse), recourt aux maximes et prĂ©ceptes, aux exemples qui stimulent l'imitation, aux mĂ©taphores qui visent la sensibilitĂ©, avec une plasticitĂ© irrĂ©ductible aux schĂ©mas rhĂ©toriques. Tels sont les aspects Ă©tudiĂ©s Ă travers ces trente et une contributions qui, de l'AntiquitĂ© grĂ©co-romaine au xxe siĂšcle, explorent la signification et les enjeux du conseil par voie Ă©pistolaire, qu'il s'agisse d'avis politiques, de direction philosophique et spirituelle, d'Ă©ducation religieuse, de directives de spĂ©cialistes (philologie, mĂ©decine) ou de conseils personnels
