[Inclusive housing: progress for mental health?].

People with psychiatric disabilities often have difficulty living by themselves in their home. Sometimes, individual housing may be an isolation vector while a collective institutional setting may be too restrictive. So, alternative forms of co-housing have been developed.

[Supportive, palliative care in lung cancer].

Background: Despite recent advances, the prognosis of lung cancer (LC) remains poor and justifies the early introduction of palliative care (PC) and supportive care (SC). The objective of this paper is to describe the published data in this field.

Methods: After definitions of PC and SC, the different types of study are depicted: randomized clinical trials (RCT) and observational studies.

[About safety parameters for patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices].

During the course of preparation of an opioid prescription, the nurse in charge became aware that the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) syringe driver did not permit programming for the delivery as required: a maximum bolus number (Bmax) was indicated but only a maximum cumulative dose (Dcmax) could be programmed. The prescription dose criteria were consistent with the guidelines of the French societies of palliative care, anesthesiology, and reanimation (Société française d'accompagnement et de soins palliatifs [Sfap] and Société française d'anesthésie réanimation [Sfar]). A Dcmax dose simulation was programmed and used in order to test this problem.
