Mais l'heterogeneite des pratiques remet en question la notion generique de medicament et laisse a penser que tous les produits prennent leur definition au moment ou ils sont ingeres. Cela demande de raisonner a partir des categories profanes et dans cette perspective, afin de ne pas definir ces produits a priori, nous utilisons le terme de pharmakon. Les personnes utilisent les pharmakon en fonction des representations qu'elles ont du dormir. Selon que le dormir les protege de la folie, leur permet de recuperer ou soit un processus naturel, les rapports aux pharmakon changent.

General practitioners (GPs) tend to prescribe anxiolytics and other benzodiazepines to patients with major depressive disorders (MDD). However, the extent to and reasons for which they prescribe these medications together are not well documented. This article assesses how often and why GPs coprescribe an anxiolytic when starting patients on antidepressant (AD) treatment, and which patient-and GP-related factors are associated with this coprescription. Methods: We used a survey of 131 GPs practising in southeastern France and of patients seen consecutively during June to October 2004 to whom they prescribed an AD. Data were collected from GPs (consultation-questionnaires focusing on their prescription, diagnosis, and symptom detection) and patients (self-administered questionnaires, including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale, and social and demographic characteristics). Factors associated with anxiolytic coprescription were analyzed with a multilevel logistic regression. Results: GPs completed 438 consultation-questionnaires for patients; 258 patients (58.9%) returned their questionnaires. Sixty percent of the patients received anxiolytics with ADs. Anxiolytics were prescribed more frequently by male GPs who reported feeling ill at ease treating MDD, or detected suicidal ideation or anxiety in their patients, and finally to patients with stable jobs. Conclusions: Although some practice guidelines and authors acknowledge that there might be some justification for coprescribing anxiolytics with ADs at the beginning of MDD treatment in specific situations, the high percentage of coprescriptions for anxiolytics observed in our study suggests that training and knowledge of GPs about MDD treatment are not optimal.

Though repaired after Katrina, this gigantic New Orleans hospital was permanently shut down to make way for an ambitious recovery plan. Anne M. Lovell explains the mechanisms that are depriving patients of adequate care and demolishing historic neighborhoods. Analyses of health and disaster usually concern disaster assistance. 1 More recently, they have focused on the ethics of disaster medicine (Leichter-Flack 2011; Fink 2009), in which emergency practices under arduous and uncertain circumstances magnify the bio-political question as to who lives and who dies (Lovell 2011). But this ethical perspective must be applied as well to the period of recovery from disaster, especially when the health infrastructure has suffered and the physical and mental health of survivors is aggravated by the "time-bomb" effect of reactions to trauma and worsening life conditions. In New Orleans after Katrina, these crucial issues crystallized around one of the major controversies of the five-year recovery period: the fate of the public hospital.

In its most visible manifestation, global health refers to strategies addressing major epidemics and endemic conditions through philanthropy (e.g. the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) and multilateral, private-public partnerships (e.g. the Global Fund against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria). Within this context, global health can be understood as a series of concerted responses to the perceived failure of decades-long struggles against major infectious diseases in non-industrialized countries, culminating in the post-Second World War era of international health and development. Global health efforts appeal for action in favour of 'neglected' populations by focusing on access to innovative and existing treatments, particularly drugs. More recently, the scope of global health has expanded to include non-communicable diseases, including psychiatric and neurological conditions, injuries, cardiovascular disease

This study investigates the prevalence of depressive and anxiety states and the risk factors associated with these disorders. The study methodology is reported in detail, especially the instruments chosen (some sections of the DIS/CIDI, questionnaires on social support, life events and self-rating questionnaires). Anxiety and depressive disorders are frequent in this population: life-time prevalence of Panic Disorder in men amounted to 2.3% and in women 3.1%, Generalised Anxiety Disorder in men 5.4% and in women 13.4%, Major Depressive Episode in men 8.5% and in women 21.9%. Panic Disorder is assessed with regard to different definitions and criteria (DSM III, DSM III-R). A wide difference in results is found according to the criteria used. Specifically, when anticipatory anxiety is taken into account, this increases the frequency rate of Panic Disorder. A significant comorbidity is found between anxiety and depressive disorders.

In its most visible manifestation, global health refers to strategies addressing major epidemics and endemic conditions through philanthropy, and multilateral, private-public partnerships. This book explores the origins of global health, a new regime of health intervention in countries of the global South born around 1990, examining its assemblages of knowledge, practices and policies.
The volume proposes an encompassing view of the transition from international public health to global health, bringing together historians and anthropologists to analyse why new modes of "interventions on the life of others" recently appeared and how they blur the classical divides between North and South. The contributors argue that not only does the global health enterprise signal a significant departure from the postwar targets and modes of operations typical of international public health, but that new configurations of action have moved global health beyond concerns with infectious diseases and state-based programs.
The book will appeal to academics, students and health professionals interested in new discussions about the transnational circulation of drugs, bugs, therapies, biomedical technologies and people in the context of the "neo-liberal turn" in development practices.
