Penser les villes et les citadinités par le dessin
Muriel Côte (MC). Bonjour à toutes les trois, Dolorès Bertrais (DB), Malou Allagnat (MA) et Émilie Guitard (ÉG) et merci de répondre à cette invitation à partager votre expérience sur l’utilisation du dessin dans vos travaux de recherche, qui portent sur les dynamiques urbaines et de citadinité. Pour commencer, pourriez-vous présenter vos travaux, et comment vous y mobilisez le dessin ?DB. Je suis doctorante à l'université de Genève à l’Institut de Gouvernance de l’Environnement et de Dévelo...

Background: Current guidelines recommend 24 hours of hospital bed rest after thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke. We sought to compare outcomes and in-hospital complications of 12- and 24-hour bed rest protocols following thrombolysis in minor stroke patients. Methods: Consecutive patients age >18 years with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke with initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 0-6 who received intravenous thrombolysis only from 1/1/2017 until 4/30/2018 were included. Standard practice bed rest order for 24 hour protocol prior to 07/15/2017 was compared with 12 hour bed rest order protocol after that date. Primary outcome was length of stay. Secondary outcome measures included symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), pneumonia, favorable discharge to home or acute rehabilitation, readmission within 30 days and modified rankin scale (mRS) at 90 days. Results: 77 patients were identified, 36 patients in the 24-hour protocol and 41 in 12-hour bed rest protocol groups. There was no significant difference for length of stay in the 24-hour bed rest protocol (2.8 days) compared with the 12-hour bed rest protocol (2.3 days) (p=0.37) (Table). Compared with the 24-hour bed rest group, the rates of sICH (p=1.00), DVT (p=NS), PE (p=NS), pneumonia (p=1.00), favorable discharge disposition (p=0.69), 30 day readmission (p=0.80) and 90 day mRS 0-2 (p=0.36) were also not different between the groups (Table). Time to mobilization was significantly different between the two groups (p<0.001) (Table). Conclusion: Compared with 24-hour bed rest, 12-hour bed rest after thrombolysis for minor acute ischemic stroke was associated with significantly earlier patient mobilization without any adverse outcomes. A randomized trial is needed to verify these findings.

It is unknown how the prevalence of hospitals with palliative care programs (PCPs) at the state level in the United States correlates with the treatment of critically ill patients. We examined the relationship between state-level PCP prevalence and commonly used treatments for critically ill patients as well as other public health metrics. We compiled state-level data for the year 2011 from multiple published sources. These included the poverty rate from the U.S. Census, public health measures such as the number of primary care physicians per 100,000 persons from America's Health Ranking website, and state-level rates for a series of validated ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision) procedure codes used for critically ill patients (e.g., prolonged acute mechanical ventilation [PAMV]) from the State Inpatient Databases (SID), Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. State-level percentages of PCPs came from a published report by the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC). We used the Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson's correlation coefficient for statistical inference. State-level poverty rates were negatively correlated with the percent of hospitals with PCPs: r = -0.39, p = 0.005. States with more hospital-based PCPs had significantly lower rates of PAMV, tracheostomies, and hemodialysis but higher rates of nutritional support than states with fewer PCPs. States with more poverty and/or at high risk for delivering inefficient health care had fewer hospital PCPs. Hospital-based PCPs may influence the frequency of some interventions for critically ill patients.

Myocardial thallium-201 (/sup 201/Tl) kinetics have not been precisely defined because reliable techniques to determine continuous activity in vivo have not been available. In this study, an implantable miniature cadmium telluride radiation detection device was inserted through the left ventricular apex, positioned against the endocardium, and used for continuous on-line monitoring of myocardial /sup 201/Tl activity for 260-810 minutes in 18 dogs. Blood was serially sampled and counted. Microsphere-determined myocardial blood flow was measured before administration of /sup 201/Tl and was not significantly different from that measured at the end of the experiment in 11 of 18 dogs. Thallium was administered intravenously. Myocardial and blood activity curves were analyzed using a nonlinear least-squares estimation of the decay constant lambda (min/sup -1/). The mean final blood lambda/sub 3/ was almost identical to the mean myocardial lambda. The data suggest that /sup 201/Tl washout after peak activity is reached in nonischemic myocardium is mono-exponential. The rate of /sup 201/Tl clearance from the myocardium is related to the rate of /sup 201/Tl clearance from the blood after i.v. administration of the tracer.
