Jean-François Kosta-Théfaine, Le Chant de la douleur dans les poésies de Christine de Pizan

Cet essai propose un examen du thème de la douleur dans les poésies de Christine de Pizan. On sait combien le deuil marque l’œuvre de Christine et est la clé de voûte de son entrée en écriture. Deuil triple en quelque sorte avec la disparition première du roi modèle, Charles V, puis du père Thomas de Bologne, enfin de l’époux, Étienne du Castel. Peu à peu s’effondre la stabilité matérielle de Christine et, selon ce qu’elle dit, son univers affectif, puisque – fait rare à l’époque – elle prése..

Student Pharmacists Target the Million Hearts Initiative for Potentially at-risk Medicare Beneficiaries

Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are sponsoring partners of Million Hearts, a national initiative to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes over the next 5 years. Million Hearts targets the ABCS of clinical prevention (appropriate Aspirin therapy, Blood pressure control, Cholesterol management, and Smoking cessation). Objective: This study measured ABCS outcomes and provided education to a Medicare population. Methods: Twelve healthcare outreach events were offered to Medicare beneficiaries in Northern/Central California between October and November 2012. Student pharmacists, under supervision of pharmacists, provided medication therapy management (MTM) services, along with blood pressure, cholesterol and other healthcare screenings with corresponding education. Data collection included beneficiary demographics, medication, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and cholesterol measurement, and smoking status. Results: 586 beneficiaries received MTM services, with 286 (49%) reporting daily aspirin use. Of those with self-reported hypertension who had their blood pressure measured, 103/239 (43%) were uncontrolled (defined as SBP ≥ 140 or DBP ≥ 90). Of those without self-reported hypertension whose blood pressure was measured, 40/131 (31%) were uncontrolled. Four-hundred sixteen (86%) indicated having their cholesterol checked within the last year. Of the 204 beneficiaries in whom cholesterol was measured onsite, 49 (24%) had a total cholesterol level ≥ 200 mg/dL. In total 414 (71%) were non-smokers and 144 (25%) were former smokers. Conclusion: Student pharmacists can assist in identifying at-risk Medicare beneficiaries through ABCS health screenings and provide education to improve beneficiary outcomes
