Alexandre Lambelet, La philanthropie
No full textDans un ouvrage synthétique de 107 pages, Alexandre Lambelet, professeur à la Haute école de travail social et de la santé de Lausanne et membre associé au Centre de recherche sur l’action politique de l’Université de Lausanne, s’emploie à démontrer l’intérêt d’analyser la philanthropie comme un « mode d’action particulier », une pratique politique spécifique et élitaire, un « phénomène social pouvant être étudié à travers la sociologie des mobilisations » (p. 25). Lambelet jette un regard c..
Clinical efficacy of intravenous colistin therapy in combination with ceftazidime in severe MDR P. aeruginosa systemic infections in two haematological patients
No full textNosocomial infections due to MDR P. aeruginosa are an increasing problem. Therapeutical options are few. We describe two haematological patients with severe neutropenia and systemic infection due to MDR P. aeruginosa treated successfully with colistin plus ceftazidime. Severe adverse events were not described

Efficacy of fidaxomicin therapy, after failure of vancomycin therapy, for treating a C. difficile colitis in a patient with ulcerative colitis
No full textPatients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have greater risk of developing C. difficile infection (CDI). In these patients, CDI have worse outcome, may be associated with increased risk of bacteremia and candidemia and may be misdiagnosed as relapse of IBD, also because of the absence of typical findings of CDI at colonoscopy. A 58-year-old man with acute ulcerative colitis treated with steroids was hospitalized for fever and recrudescence of inflammatory diarrhea. During the hospitalization, the fever was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics and systemic anti-fungal therapy. Candida mannan antigen and the molecular screening for C. difficile resulted positive. A first course of vancomycin by mouth was unsuccessful, therefore we started a 10-day course of fidaxomicin. After five days of therapy, diarrhea disappeared. A few-week course of fluconazole therapy was performed to complete the treatment of invasive candidiasis. At six-month follow-up no relapse of CDI was documented

Revisiting Toronto’s Growth Machine (1990s 2020s): From a neoliberal regime to a regime of "throwntogetherness"
No full textSébastien Lambelet will present preliminary results of the field reserach he is conducting in Toronto for about a year. Since his arrival in this large and fascinating city, Sébastien is puzzled by the way city politics constantly get influenced by higher level of governments and market changes, thereby making city authorities unable to properly plan and steer urban development. In this context, Sébastien will argue that Toronto is currently governed by a “regime of throwntogetherness” (see Massey 2005, 2007).
His talk will retrace the evolution of Toronto’s growth regime since the 1998 amalgamation, underlying that a coherent land use policy regime was established in the 2000s, as a progressive backlash to amalgamation. However, since the early 2010s, this policy regime has been progressively und successfully dismantled by a succession of legislative reforms undertaken by conservative leaders in the name of market and governmental efficiencies. Sébastien will critically discuss this evolution and argue that, instead of solving Toronto’s housing “crisis”, market solutionism turns city politics into apolitical debates, thereby a) overlooking policy alternatives and b) reinforcing the preemptive power of developers and financialized landlords (see Stone, 1988).</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Clinical and microbiological efficacy of colistin therapy alone or in combination as treatment for multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa diabetic foot infections with or without osteomyelitis
No full textWe retrospectively evaluated the safety and effectiveness of colistin alone or in combination with other antimicrobials in eight diabetic patients with severe diabetic foot infections due to multidrug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, complicated in 4 cases by osteomyelitis. All patients received colistin after other ineffective antimicrobial treatment, when MDR P. aeruginosa strains were isolated by cultural examination and together with a multidisciplinary care approach including revascularization, surgical debridement and adequate offloading. The mean duration of therapy was 72 ± 52.9 days. Six out of 8 patients (75%) successfully benefited from colistin therapy, while 2 patients failed and/or experienced side effects that led to discontinuation of therapy. Serious adverse events (i.e. acute renal failure and pulmonary edema) were observed in 1 patient. Our data allow us to conclude that colistin, alone or in combination with other antimicrobials, is safe and effective when administered as part of a multidisciplinary approach, to promote healing of diabetic foot infection due to MDR P. aeruginosa. © E.S.I.F.T. srl - Firenze
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
