The provisions of permanence hospital also pose a huge problem for hospital paediatricians, generally too few.
Euthanasia, an upcoming election issue in France?
In any case the question posed by the International Journal of Medicine in his edition of date. As stated in the JIM, " the parliamentary information mission on the cover end of life led by the UMP Jean Léonetti (Alpes Maritimes) and the Socialist Gaetan Gorce (Nièvre) had not ruled in favor to decriminalization of euthanasia, but had nevertheless sought the adoption of a new law on supporting the end of life, to clarify the ambiguous promise of the law on patients' rights (Loi Kouchner) March 2002 . Referral to the foundations of a doctor and a nurse, first, the acquittal a Dane 37 years that ended the suffering of his wife giving him an overdose of tranquilizers on the other hand, have recently highlighted this debate Quiévrain overseas.

iron supplementation and lives In children with malaria
A study Zofou et al (Yaoundé), presented at the congress of the same ISID, shows that supplementation with iron and vitamin A can remarkably improve the treatment results of malaria when given to children with.
green tea against tobacco: the Asian paradox
A study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (2006; 202: 813) explained by the consumption of green tea reduced the incidence cardiovascular diseases and cancer in Asia notwithstanding smoking significantly higher than that observed in Western countries. There is no satisfactory explanation for this paradox Asia. But the Yale researchers found that consumption of 1.2 liters of green tea per day had a significant antioxidant effect, and what the effect of a substance which, by preventing the oxidation of LDL-Cholesterol would play a key role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. The same substance would prevent the development of tumors, and improve metabolism and function of different organs.
The mechanism of action of green tea should be further studies to be elucidated. But even if its composition is beneficial, the fact remains that smoking cessation remains the number one preventive factor for cardiovascular disease.
