[more ▼] We present the general structure of a multi-annual research project. Our general expectancy concerns the possibilities of arts psychotherapy as a means of launching the blocked process of subjectivation with people suffering from exclusion, precarity and marginalization. The research project follows a complex research design with a sequential strategy, the first part consisting in an integrated psychosocial and clinical study using a mixed methodology. We constructed special rating scales for the analysis of the data of a semi-structured biographical interview and also for the holistic interpretation of the Rotter Blank Sentences Test, separating the associations to sentences beginning with the third and first person. The correlations between two sets of variables (biographical interview and Rotter test) were computed for the total experimental group (N=206), and for clinical subgroups. We shall analyse the matrices of correlations (Spearman's Rho) with the help of optimal scaling procedures (OVERALS). The links between traumatic biographical events and responses to the 3rd, respectively 1st person items of the Rotter test are interpreted in terms of unconscious versus conscious psychological processes and allow us analysing the expression of defence mechanisms and coping strategies. The results of the study are discussed in the light of the recent traumatogenic hypothesis of borderline functioning.

[more ▼] OBJECTIVES: The aims of the study were to estimate the prevalence of diabetes in Luxembourg in 2002, to compare it to the prevalence reported in 1991 and to evaluate if prescription attitudes have changed since 1991. METHODS: The prevalence of diabetes was estimated using the drug sales data. The key parameters, total amount of antidiabetic drugs sold in one year and the average daily dose or Prescribed Daily Dose (PDD), have been obtained from the National Social Security Organization and by a standardized questionnaire sent to all general practitioners and all internists and endocrinologists of the country. RESULTS: The PDD was calculated on 2,402 questionnaires on individual diabetic patients. By this mean, the proportion of patients only treated with appropriate diet could also be obtained. Compared to 1991, the total amount of antidiabetic drugs showed a four-fold increase in biguanides tablet prescriptions. A high percentage of combined treatments was found. The prevalence of diabetes in Luxembourg was found to be 3.05% of the total population. CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the status in 1991, prevalence of diabetes increased by 63%, which seems mainly due to type 2 diabetic patients as orally-treated diabetic patients almost doubled (2.11% vs 1.16%). A substantial change in prescriptions for diabetes has occurred, suggesting a positive influence of studies like the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS).

[more ▼] As in all European countries, the CHL's Emergency Department is faced with a constant increase in the number of patients. The demographic patient profile in the 2001 survey shows a majority of young males with traumatic problems. Mostly evoked reasons for the increase are the lack of availability of general practitioners and patients' low level of information about the competences of GPs. The article discusses possible solutions to the bottlenecks in Emergency Departments.

[more ▼] Integrins are major cell adhesion receptors which assume two important functions: first they act as anchoring molecules allowing firm cellular attachment to the extracellular matrix, and second they work as signalling receptors being able to transduce signals in both directions (outside-in and inside-out) through the plasma membrane. Their biological importance is determined by their involvement in many physiological phenomena. Furthermore, their implication in various diseases and their accessibility to drugs make them interesting therapeutic targets.
