    Evaluation du projet SPAS-PMU REVIAC

    Get PDF
    Le projet REVIAC: Le projet REVIAC (Réinsertion vie active) est un projet de collaboration entre le Service de prévoyance et d'aides sociales (SPAS) et la Policlinique médicale universitaire (PMU) pour améliorer les possibilités de démarches de réinsertion chez les bénéficiaires du revenu d'insertion (RI) avec certificat d'incapacité de travail. En effet, certains bénéficiaires ont des certificats médicaux d'incapacité récurrents et les assistants sociaux (AS) ne peuvent entreprendre les démarches nécessaires. Le projet développé par le SPAS et la PMU comprend deux axesa : ? La création à la PMU d'une consultation pour les bénéficiaires du RI dont l'état de santé compromet toute démarche d'insertion/d'activation. ? Le développement de l'information et de la formation : a) des médecins, principalement de premier recours, sur les thématiques sociales liées au RI et le réseau socio-sanitaire existant, et b) des assistants sociaux sur les pratiques des médecins traitants. Les objectifs du projet sont : Encourager l'élaboration de projets favorisant l'autonomie des bénéficiaires (autonomie sociale comme professionnelle et financiÚre), compatibles avec leur état de santé, réalistes et réalisables ; Apporter un soutien médical aux bénéficiaires entrant dans une démarche d'insertion ou en cours d'insertion, en collaboration avec leurs médecins traitants ; Fournir aux AS les informations nécessaires leur permettant d'initier, au besoin, une collaboration avec l'AI dans le cadre de mesures de prévention et d'insertion ; Permettre aux AS de diriger et accompagner les bénéficiaires dont l'état de santé est incompatible avec une démarche d'insertion vers d'autres types de mesures ou d'autres prises en charge plus adéquates (rentes AI, etc.) ; Améliorer la collaboration entre les médecins traitants des bénéficiaires et les assistants sociaux en charge de leur dossier ; Proposer, à terme, le développement de nouvelles mesures adaptées aux problématiques de santé des bénéficiaires

    Combining molecular dynamics and docking simulations to develop targeted protocols for performing optimized virtual screening campaigns on the HTRPM8 channel

    Background: There is an increasing interest in TRPM8 ligands of medicinal interest, the rational design of which can be nowadays supported by structure-based in silico studies based on the recently resolved TRPM8 structures. Methods: The study involves the generation of a reliable hTRPM8 homology model, the reliability of which was assessed by a 1.0 \u3bcs MD simulation which was also used to generate multiple receptor conformations for the following structure-based virtual screening (VS) campaigns; docking simulations utilized different programs and involved all monomers of the selected frames; the so computed docking scores were combined by consensus approaches based on the EFO algorithm. Results: The obtained models revealed very satisfactory performances; LiGen\u2122 provided the best results among the tested docking programs; the combination of docking results from the four monomers elicited a markedly beneficial effect on the computed consensus models. Conclusions: The generated hTRPM8 model appears to be amenable for successful structure-based VS studies; cross-talk modulating effects between interacting monomers on the binding sites can be accounted for by combining docking simulations as performed on all the monomers; this strategy can have general applicability for docking simulations involving quaternary protein structures with multiple identical binding pockets

    Switzerland: National Trends in Sexual Behaviour in the Context of HIV/STI Behavioural Surveillance 1987–2012

    Get PDF
    Background: National trends in sexual behaviour have been assessed mainly in the context of the HIV related behavioural surveillance system set up in Switzerland between 1987 and 1992. Methods: Several populations are included in the system. Repeatedsurveys have been regularly conducted among the general population and youth, men having sex with other men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU). Data on sexual behaviour are regularly recorded among people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) included in the Swiss HIV Cohort

    For the first time in Switzerland, an analysis of residual contents from used syringes collected from low threshold facilities was performed. This preliminary study is part of a wider project aiming to understand patterns of injecting drug use over time. Among the 100,000 syringes exchanged annually by the ABS foundation (Accueil Bas Seuil), 113 were collected following a purposive sampling method and analysed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Four syringes (4% of the sample population) contained no substances take into consideration the limit of the method. Cocaine was the most commonly observed compound and was detected in 77 syringes (68%), whilst users reported syringes with cocaine among those analysed in this study. Heroin was detected in 49 syringes (43%) and reported by 53 users returning syringes; midazolam was detected in 31 syringes (27%) and reported as the medicine Dormicum(Âź) in 22 occurrences. No new or unusual illicit drug was detected in the sample. The results show the presence of cocaine in more than half of the sample, an absence of new or unusual illicit drugs, as well as very few traces of methadone, which suggests that this substitution drug is rarely injected. This preliminary study also demonstrates the potential of this developed methodology for monitoring purposes. An ongoing and more systematic approach could allow to detect modifications in drug use patterns among the target population as well as the appearance of new and hazardous substances. Such systematic and timely results could allow an adaptation of harm reduction interventions

    Rescoring and Linearly Combining: a Highly Effective Consensus Strategy for Virtual Screening Campaigns

    Get PDF
    The study proposes a novel consensus strategy based on linear combinations of different docking scores to be used in the evaluation of virtual screening campaigns. The consensus models are generated by applying the recently proposed Enrichment Factor Optimization (EFO) method, which develops the linear equations by exhaustively combining the available docking scores and by optimizing the resulting enrichment factors. The performances of such a consensus strategy were evaluated by simulating the entire Directory of Useful Decoys (DUD datasets). In detail, the poses were initially generated by the PLANTS docking program and then rescored by ReScore+ with and without the minimization of the complexes. The so calculated scores were then used to generate the mentioned consensus models including two or three different scoring functions. The reliability of the generated models was assessed by a per target validation as performed by default by the EFO approach. The encouraging performances of the here proposed consensus strategy are emphasized by the average increase of the 17% in the Top 1% enrichment factor (EF) values when comparing the single best score with the linear combination of three scores. Specifically, kinases offer a truly convincing demonstration of the efficacy of the here proposed consensus strategy since their Top 1% EF average ranges from 6.4 when using the single best performing primary score to 23.5 when linearly combining scoring functions. The beneficial effects of this consensus approach are clearly noticeable even when considering the entire DUD datasets as evidenced by the area under the curve (AUC) averages revealing a 14% increase when combining three scores. The reached AUC values compare very well with those reported in literature by an extended set of recent benchmarking studies and the three-variable models afford the highest AUC average
