[Gradual approach for the etiological diagnosis of the neurocognitive disorder].

Neurocognitive disorders (TNC) are of a public health concern. An early and accurate diagnosis is important to tailor a personalised care. We illustrate the importance of a graduated etiological diagnostic approach centered on the clinical presentation employing the case of a patient with a progressive neurovisual disorder suggestive of a common form of Alzheimer's disease.

[Dementia: management and prevention].

Dementia represents a great challenge for health care providers. Detection of cognitive impairment is critical for early diagnosis of dementia. Early diagnosis allows to initiate individualized management that focuses on maintaining patient's autonomy and supporting their caregivers.

High rate of completion of preventive therapy for latent tuberculosis infection among asylum seekers in a Swiss Canton.

Background: Preventive treatment may avoid future cases of tuberculosis among asylum seekers. The effectiveness of preventive treatment depends in large part on treatment completion.

Methods: In a prospective cohort study, asylum seekers of two of the Swiss Canton Vaud migration centres were screened with the Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA).

Factors associated with latent tuberculosis among asylum seekers in Switzerland: a cross-sectional study in Vaud County.

Background: Screening and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in asylum seekers (AS) may prevent future cases of tuberculosis. As the screening with Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is costly, the objective of this study was to assess which factors were associated with LTBI and to define a score allowing the selection of AS with the highest risk of LTBI.

Methods: In across-sectional study, AS seekers recently arrived in Vaud County, after screening for tuberculosis at the border were offered screening for LTBI with T-SPOT.
