A baby's arrival is such a natural occurrence: why does it cause so much upheaval? Why does its presence create so much joy and wonderment or else such angst and violence? Is it because the child possesses both vulnerability and colossal creative potential? Creator of relationships and of emotions, from the beginning, the child is a spiritual being. He starts out life with his fate, his particular daimon. After his arrival, he will be thrown in the world or he will be welcomed and integrated. As he is at the interplay between the most archaic forces and civilization, the very young child demonstrates that his physical movements reflect his psychic life. Along with his parents, maternal care, play, and his activities are at the core of the intersubjective process. The care of the child is his initial education and is already reflective of political acts and presupposes an ethic which will allow the child to blossom and to inhabit his world ; Pourquoi un événement en apparence si naturel qu'est l'accueil d'un bébé se révèle t-il si bouleversant et si complexe ? Pourquoi cette présence peut-elle provoquer joie et émerveillement ou angoisse et violence ? N'est-ce pas parce que l'enfant si vulnérable détient aussi une puissance créatrice ? Créateur de relations et d'émotions, il est d'emblée un être d'esprit. Il commence sa vie avec son lot, son daimon singulier. Suivant celui-ci il sera « jeté-dans-le monde » ou accueilli. Trait d'union entre les forces les plus archaïques et la civilisation, le très jeune enfant nous montre à quel point les mouvements de son corps sont le reflet de sa vie psychique. C'est pourquoi une attention aux soins de maternage, au jeu et aux activités d'éveil va être, avec ses parents, au coeur du processus d'intersubjectivité. Cette éducation première prenant sa source dans le soin est déjà de l'ordre du politique et suppose une éthique qui permette à l'enfant de s'épanouir et d'habiter le monde

De plus en plus, les soins palliatifs sont offerts à des aînés et les bénévoles qui s'y engagent sont aussi majoritairement des aînés. Le bénévolat peut favoriser le pouvoir d'agir des aînés au quotidien. Cet article rapporte les résultats d'une étude qualitative qui a adopté l'approche des récits de vie biographiques. Il montre l'existence d'une grande diversité de facteurs influençant le choix de s'engager bénévolement. Ceux-ci peuvent être d'ordre individuel, organisationnel ou interactionnel. Une attention particulière a été portée aux convergences et aux différences des facteurs mentionnés par des bénévoles impliqués dans deux milieux : celui des associations à but non lucratif, qui sont actifs principalement à domicile et celui des maisons dédiées aux soins palliatifs. Plusieurs facteurs sont communs à tous les participants, quel que soit le milieu dans lequel ils évoluent : les questionnements spirituels, le respect des valeurs humaines ou de la justice sociale en sont quelques exemples. Toutefois, malgré ces similarités, certains facteurs ont été particulièrement attribués à un milieu ou à un autre. Par exemple, en maisons dédiées, les participants apprécient le contact physique qu'ils ont avec la personne aidée et le fait qu'ils collaborent de près avec l'équipe soignante. Par ailleurs, à domicile, les bénévoles notent que les proches sont souvent présents et ils estiment que cela leur permet d'entrer davantage dans l'intimité de la famille afin de mieux les écouter.

7‐11 November 2010, Tenth International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection, Glasgow, UK

HIV cohort data from high-income European countries were compared with the UNAIDS Spectrum modelling parameters for these same countries to validate mortality rates and excess mortality estimates for people living with HIV (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Data from 2000 to 2015 were analysed from the Antiretroviral Therapy Cohort Collaboration (ART-CC) for Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland. Flexible parametric models were used to compare all-cause mortality rates in the ART-CC and Spectrum. The percentage of AIDS-related deaths and excess mortality (both are the same within Spectrum) were compared, with excess mortality defined as that in excess of the general population mortality. Analyses included 94 026 PLHIV with 585 784 person-years of follow-up, from which there were 5515 deaths. All-cause annual mortality rates in Spectrum for 2000-2003 were 0.0121, reducing to 0.0078 in 2012-2015, whilst the ART-CC's corresponding annual mortality rates were 0.0151 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.0130-0.0171] reducing to 0.0049 (95% CI: 0.0039-0.0060). The percentage of AIDS-related deaths in Spectrum was 74.7% in 2000-2003, dropping to 43.6% in 2012-2015. In the ART-CC, AIDS-related mortality constitutes 45.3% (95% CI: 38.4-52.9%) of mortality in 2000-2003 and 26.7% (95% CI: 19-46%) between 2012 and 2015. Excess mortality in the ART-CC was broadly similar to the Spectrum estimates, dropping from 75.3% (95% CI: 60.3-95.2%) in 2000-2003 to 30.7% (95% CI: 25.5-63.7%) in 2012-2015. All-cause mortality assumptions for PLHIV on ART in high-income European settings should be adjusted in Spectrum to be higher in 2000-2003 and decline more quickly to levels currently captured for recent years. ; Funding: This work was supported by the UK Medical Research Council (MRC; grant number MR/J002380/1) and the UK Department for International Development (DFID) under the MRC/DFID Concordat agreement and is also part of the EDCTP2 programme supported by the European Union.

People living with HIV (PLHIV) are more likely than the general population to develop AIDS-defining malignancies (ADMs) and several non-ADMs (NADMs). Information is lacking on survival outcomes and cause-specific mortality after cancer diagnosis among PLHIV. We investigated causes of death within 5 years of cancer diagnosis in PLHIV enrolled in European and North American HIV cohorts starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) 1996-2015, aged ≥16 years, and subsequently diagnosed with cancer. Cancers were grouped: ADMs, viral NADMs and nonviral NADMs. We calculated cause-specific mortality rates (MR) after diagnosis of specific cancers and compared 5-year survival with the UK and France general populations. Among 83,856 PLHIV there were 4,436 cancer diagnoses. Of 603 deaths after ADM diagnosis, 292 (48%) were due to an ADM. There were 467/847 (55%) and 74/189 (39%) deaths that were due to an NADM after nonviral and viral NADM diagnoses, respectively. MR were higher for diagnoses between 1996 and 2005 versus 2006-2015: ADMs 102 (95% CI 92-113) per 1,000 years versus 88 (78-100), viral NADMs 134 (106-169) versus 111 (93-133) and nonviral NADMs 264 (232-300) versus 226 (206-248). Estimated 5-year survival for PLHIV diagnosed with liver (29% [19-39%]), lung (18% [13-23%]) and cervical (75% [63-84%]) cancer was similar to general populations. Survival after Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis was lower in PLHIV (75% [67-81%]). Among ART-treated PLHIV diagnosed with cancer, MR and causes of death varied by cancer type, with mortality highest for liver and lung cancers. Deaths within 5 years of NADM diagnoses were more likely to be from cancer than AIDS. ; We would like to thank all patients, doctors, and study nurses associated with the participating cohort studies.

AbstractIntroductionHIV‐1 infection leads to chronic inflammation and to an increased risk of non‐AIDS mortality. Our objective was to determine whether AIDS‐defining events (ADEs) were associated with increased overall and cause‐specific non‐AIDS related mortality after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation.MethodsWe included HIV treatment‐naïve adults from the Antiretroviral Therapy Cohort Collaboration (ART‐CC) who initiated ART from 1996 to 2014. Causes of death were assigned using the Coding Causes of Death in HIV (CoDe) protocol. The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for overall and cause‐specific non‐AIDS mortality among those with an ADE (all ADEs, tuberculosis (TB), Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP), and non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)) compared to those without an ADE was estimated using a marginal structural model.ResultsThe adjusted hazard of overall non‐AIDS mortality was higher among those with any ADE compared to those without any ADE (aHR 2.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.00 to 2.43). The adjusted hazard of each of the cause‐specific non‐AIDS related deaths were higher among those with any ADE compared to those without, except metabolic deaths (malignancy aHR 2.59 (95% CI 2.13 to 3.14), accident/suicide/overdose aHR 1.37 (95% CI 1.05 to 1.79), cardiovascular aHR 1.95 (95% CI 1.54 to 2.48), infection aHR (95% CI 1.68 to 2.81), hepatic aHR 2.09 (95% CI 1.61 to 2.72), respiratory aHR 4.28 (95% CI 2.67 to 6.88), renal aHR 5.81 (95% CI 2.69 to 12.56) and central nervous aHR 1.53 (95% CI 1.18 to 5.44)). The risk of overall and cause‐specific non‐AIDS mortality differed depending on the specific ADE of interest (TB, PJP, NHL).ConclusionsIn this large multi‐centre cohort collaboration with standardized assignment of causes of death, non‐AIDS mortality was twice as high among patients with an ADE compared to without an ADE. However, non‐AIDS related mortality after an ADE depended on the ADE of interest. Although there may be unmeasured confounders, these findings suggest that a common pathway may be independently driving both ADEs and NADE mortality. While prevention of ADEs may reduce subsequent death due to NADEs following ART initiation, modification of risk factors for NADE mortality remains important after ADE survival.
