Improving the medication adherence allows better management of hypertension. The aim of this work was to determine the level of compliance for patients with hypertension and to identify factors that determine compliance. A cross-sectional study was carried out among a sample of hypertensive patients attending general and specialist practitioners in public or private clinics of Sfax. Two hundred and seventy-three participants had accepted to be interviewed. Patients were identified as noncompliants using a questionnaire developed by the Comité de lutte contre l'hypertension artérielle (CFLHTA). Non-compliance rate was 63.4%. The low level of education was associated with a lower adherence. The monotherapy, the once-daily regimen with fewer number of tablets were associated with a better adherence (p<10(-6)). The welcome and the availability of drugs in the public clinic affect positively the adherence of patients (p<0.0002). A patient very satisfied with his consultation and the explanation given by the doctor about his illness and its treatment had a better adherence (p<0.00003). Our study had demonstrated a low compliance with antihypertensive drug therapy. Tunisian health care system should elaborate a management plan which takes into account our particular predictors of compliance to improve adherence to antihypertensive medication.

Thus they pass in review the different possibilities to master expenses, at the supply and the demand sides, by identifying advantages and risks of each of they and by specifying orientations of the health insurance reform in this area: the moderating ticket, contractual payment methods of hospitals and health professionals, the path of care, the refund of care expenses, the rationalization of consumption of medicines and complementary examinations and the harmonious development of care supply by a better public and private mix. A particular accent is put on preliminaries and implementation conditions of the prospective payment of providers and organizational conditions of care provision, from general practitioner that would become the main entry of the care system.

Another study was conducted simultaneously under the same conditions on 100 non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients attend on average 8 times a year, twice as often as nondiabetics, generally at the department of general medicine (6 times). They undergo more biological tests and receive more care procedures than nondiabetics. Drug prescriptions cost on average US$ 62 per year for the diabetic, 3 times as much as for the non-diabetic (US$ 20/year). The total direct cost of outpatient care is US$ 117 per year for the diabetic, as against only US$ 48 for the nondiabetic. The cost is much higher for diabetics with degenerative complications (US$ 144 as against US$ 92). Reduction of the cost of care requires early detection of diabetes and education of the diabetic, so as to ensure better control of blood sugar levels ...

Matériels et méthodes : Une analyse rétrospective de 100 IRM cérébrales normales, de foetus, et d'enfants, a été faite en étudiant la coupe sagittale médiane pour établir le rapport entre surface vermienne et cérébrale. En effet pour évaluer un organe, un rapport entre deux mesures est toujours préférable aux mesures isolées, car le rapport nous affranchit des variations individuelles. Résultats : Le rapport est une courbe ascendante de la 26" semaine au 18" mois. Conclusion : Les malformations de la fosse postérieure sont particulièrement intéressantes a détecter en imagerie pré-natale et post-natale, car elles sont souvent de mauvais pronostic. Le rapport que nous avons calculé peut être utile en cas de doute. Mots clés : Cervelet-IRM-Pédiatrie
