Activities of an intravenous formulation of itraconazole in experimental disseminated Aspergillus, Candida, and Cryptococcus infections.

An intravenous (i.v.) formulation of itraconazole was evaluated in disseminated fungal infection models in guinea pigs. In acute disseminated Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus infections, treatment at 5 mg/kg of body weight twice a day (b.i.d.) significantly prolonged survival. In these models and in animals with chronic disseminated cryptococcosis, itraconazole given i.v. at 2.5 and 5 mg/kg b.i.d. greatly reduced the proportions of organs with culture-detectable fungal burdens. The efficacy of i.v. itraconazole in these animal models justifies its further investigation for the treatment of life-threatening mycoses in humans.

[Health and citizenship in contemporary Belgium].

We summarize the relations between the development of health policies and the definition of citizenship in Belgium during the 19th and 20th centuries. In the limited scope of the present article we describe the main developments and offer a plausible introduction to subsequent studies. We aim to show that thanks to the scientific study of the changes that took place during two centuries, we can understand the reasons why there are currently so many contradictions in health policy. It is hoped that our findings will help us to better understand the present and prepare for the future.

[Using statistics of tuberculosis clinics and hospitals in the social and epidemiological history of the "white plague" in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries].

During the late XIXth and the beginning of the XXth centuries, the struggle against tuberculosis is a strong reason to redefine health as social gaming, and not as individual gaming anymore. Here the number of actors increases on the market of medical cares, involving some tensions. This paper compares (by the means of death causes statistics) people affected and treated in a local hospital, and those treated in the antitubercular health centres from the province of Liège. It studies the respective contribution of hospital records and statistics list of health centres to the historical epidemiology of the "white plague" and to social history of the health.

[The population of the big university hospitals in Belgium from the early nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century].

This paper is the synthesis of researches concerning the university hospitals of Gand, Liège and Louvain in Belgium. First, you will find an abstract of the analysis and main results. The interpretation topics are then approached with three different points of view: the sources, being hospital or medical records, their qualities and their limits; the structure of the institutions and their consequences on the social structure of the patients; the impact of the demographic transition. The hospital, which was one reserved to poor adults, has progressively been authorized to "non-profitables", children first, then old people, so that the ageing of patients largely exceeds that of the population itself.
