Information Products Catalogue – Spring 2008

The Spring 2008 catalogue provides bibliographic data and descriptive texts on over 80 recentinformation products that have been published since October 2007 by the World HealthOrganization, its regional offices, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The catalogue is divided into three sections, corresponding to English, French and Spanish language editions. Two new sections have been added to the catalogue: a selection of WHO publications madeavailable for translations (see pages 30-33) and a selection of WHO books translated in Arabic by the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (see pages 34-35).

This new collection of WHO information products reflects the work and priorities of theOrganization and provides guidelines and standards for medical, technical and scientificprofessionals working in many different fields.

On 7 April 2008, the World Health Organization celebrated its 60th Anniversary. To mark thisevent, we have included in this catalogue a list of "WHO classics" (page 2-3) published since1948 and which have made substantial contributions to global public health. The ten top WHO bestsellers since 1948 are featured on page 25. Many of these books have been revisedand reprinted and are still considered landmarks in their field.

Of special interest is the WHO report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2008, which confirmsthat tobacco is one of the greatest public health treats of modern times. Other noteworthypublications are the expanded International Health Regulations (2005), the 2008 edition ofInternational Travel and Health, Supplement 1 to the International Pharmacopoeia, a newModel List of Essential Medicines, a second edition to Atlas of Health in Europe and a 2008edition of World Health Statistics.

Other selected information products in the catalogue cover the latest thinking on ageing,cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chemical safety, child health, food safety, mental health as well as on water and sanitation and zoonoses.

Ethical Considerations in Biomedical HIV Prevention Trials

Well into the third decade of the HIV epidemic, there remainsno effective HIV preventive vaccine, microbicide, product ordrug to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition. As the numbers of those infected by HIV and dying from AIDS continue toincrease, the need for such biomedical HIV preventiveinterventions becomes ever more urgent. Several suchproducts are at various stages of development, includingsome currently in phase III efficacy trials.

The successful development of effective HIV preventiveinterventions requires that many different candidates bestudied simultaneously in different populations around the world.

The Positive Partnerships Program in ThailandEmpowering People Living with HIV

In most societies, people living with HIV remaindisproportionately poor, stigmatized and isolated from theircommunities. This situation limits the effectiveness of HIVprevention and treatment efforts and also hampers awarenessand education campaigns. A project rolling out in ruralThailand, the Positive Partnerships Program (PPP) has shownthat targeted economic assistance can boost self-esteem,ambition and hope—all of which help reinvigorate communityties and have a beneficial impact in promoting an enablingenvironment for HIV prevention and treatment efforts. ThisBest Practice document provides a short introduction to theprogram and examines how and why it may be used as aflexible and adaptive model in other countries.

Cancer Control: Knowledge into Action.WHO Guide for Effective Programmes. EarlyDetection

The World Health Organization estimates that 7.6million people died of cancer in 2005 and 84 millionpeople will die in the next 10 years if action is nottaken. More than 70% of all cancer deaths occur in

low- and middle-income countries, where resources availablefor prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer are limited or nonexistent.

Yet cancer is to a large extent avoidable. Over 40% of all cancers can beprevented. Some of the most common cancers are curable if detectedearly and treated. Even with late cancer, the suffering of patients can berelieved with good palliative care. Cancer control: knowledge into action,WHO guide for effective programmes is a series of six modules offeringguidance on all important aspects of effective cancer control planning and implementation.

This third module on Early Detection is a practical guide for programmemanagers on how to implement effective early detection of major types of cancer that are amenable to early diagnosis and screening.

CHEMICAL SAFETY


IPCS Mode of Action FrameworkPart 1: IPCS Framework for Analysing the Relevance of a Cancer Mode of Action for Humans and Case Studies Part 2: IPCS Framework for Analysing the Relevance of a Non-Cancer Mode of Action for Humans

The use of structured frameworks in chemical risk assessmentpromotes transparent, harmonized approaches. This bookpresents two IPCS frameworks originally published in CriticalReviews in Toxicology, in a user-friendly large format. Part 1contains the IPCS Framework for Analysing the Relevance ofa Cancer Mode of Action for Humans, along with three casestudies illustrating its application. Part 2 contains the IPCSFramework for Analysing the Relevance of a Non-CancerMode of Action for Humans.

The output of a framework analysis is a clear statement ofconclusions, together with the confidence, analysis, andimplications of the findings. The frameworks provide a means of ensuring a transparent eval¬ua¬tion of the data,identification of key data gaps and of information that wouldbe of value in the further risk assessment of the chemical inquestion. This book will be useful to risk assessment andregulatory institutions, the chemical industry, as well as tobiology and toxicology scientists and researchers.

International MedicalGuide for Ships Including the Ship's Medicine ChestThird Edition

The third edition of the International Medical Guide for Shipsshows designated first-aid providers how to diagnose, treat, and prevent the health problems of seafarers on board ship.

Since its first publication in 1967, the International MedicalGuide for Ships has been a standard reference for medical careon board ships. The second edition, written in 1988, wastranslated into more than 30 languages, and has been used in tens of thousands of ships. This, the third edition, containsfully updated recommendations aimed to promote andprotect the health of seafarers, and is consistent with thelatest revisions of both the WHO Model List of EssentialMedicines and the International Health Regulations.

The International Labour Organization's Maritime Labour Convention2006 stipulates that all ships shall carry a medicine chest, medicalequipment and a medical guide. The International Medical Guide forShips supports a main principal of that convention; to ensure thatseafarers are given health protection and medical care as comparableas possible to that which is generally available to workers ashore.

By carrying this guide on board ships, and following its instructions,countries can both fulfill their obligations under the terms of theMaritime Labour Convention 2006, and ensure the best possible health outcomes for their seafaring population.

International Travel and Health 2008

People made more than 800 million international journeys in2007. This amount of global travel exposes many people tochanges in altitude, humidity, disease agents and temperature– all of which can lead to ill-health. Many health risks can beminimized by precautions taken before, during and after travel.

This book explains how travellers can stay healthy, and providesWHO guidance on vaccinations,malaria chemoprophylaxisand treatment, protection against insects and other diseasevectors, and safety in different environmental settings.

This book covers all the main health risks to travellers, bothduring their journey and at the destinations. It describes therelevant infectious diseases, including causative agents,modes of transmission, clinical features, geographicaldistribution, and prophylactic and preventive measures.

New and revised contents in this edition include:

• new vaccines and vaccine schedules• an expanded section on worldwide maps

of infectious diseases• updates on the worldwide malaria situation• an updated country list • deep vein thrombosis related to air travel• avian influenza• Chikungunya• the new international certificate for vaccination

or prophylaxis

This book is designed for medical and public healthprofessionals who advise travellers, but it is also a standardreference for travel agents, airlines, shipping companies and travellers themselves.

International Health Regulations (2005)Second Edition

In consideration of the increases in international travel andtrade, and emergence and reemergence of internationaldisease threats and other health risks, the Fifty-eighth WorldHealth Assembly in 2005 adopted the revised InternationalHealth Regulations (IHR). The new IHR entered into force on 15 June 2007.

Their stated purpose and scope are “to prevent, protectagainst, control and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease in ways that arecommensurate with and restricted to public health risks, andwhich avoid unnecessary interference with internationaltraffic and trade.” Because the IHR are not limited to specificdiseases, but are applicable to health risks, irrespective oftheir origin or source, they should remain current withdevelopments in the evolution of diseases and the factorsaffecting their emergence and transmission.

The IHR also require States to strengthen core surveillanceand response capacities at the primary, intermediate andnational level, as well as at designated international ports,airports and ground crossings. They further introduce aseries of new health documents, including ship sanitationcertificates and an international certificate of vaccination or prophylaxis for travelers.

Finally, this second edition includes a new foreword and the Health Part of the Aircraft General Declaration (as revisedby the International Civil Aviation Organization), as well asAppendices listing States Parties to the IHR and reservations,objections and declarations received from States Parties.

Risk Assessment of Campylobacter spp.in Broiler ChickensTechnical report

Campylobacter is a leading cause of enteric infections inmany countries. The principal reservoir of pathogenicCampylobacter spp. is the alimentary tract of wild anddomesticated mammals and birds. Poultry meat is animportant vehicle for foodborne transmission ofCampylobacter spp., particularly Campylobacter jejuni.

FAO and WHO have undertaken a risk assessment ofCampylobacter spp. in broiler chickens as described in thisvolume. This assessment compared the risk for a variety ofscenarios and mitigation measures for control of theorganism in a range of broiler chicken products. It alsoincludes a review and analysis of current scientificinformation and a description of the risk model.

This volume and others in this Microbiological RiskAssessment Series contain information that is useful to bothrisk assessors and risk managers, the Codex AlimentariusCommission, governments and food regulatory agencies,industry and other people or institutions with an interest inCampylobacter spp. in broiler chickens, the public healthimpact and the use of risk assessment in the evaluation and selection of potential control strategies.

Pesticides Residues in Food 2006Toxicological Evaluations

Report of a meeting that evaluated 30 pesticides, including fivenew compounds and five compounds that were re-evaluatedwithin the periodic review programme of the Codex Committeeon Pesticide Residues (CCPR) for toxicity or residues, or both.The original schedule of compounds to be evaluated wasamended for cypermethrins and triadimefon/triadimenol. For cypermethrins, only a toxicological evaluation was carried out as no residue data were received. The evaluationof triadimefon/triadimenol was postponed to 2007 as the peer review process could not be completed in time.

Reports and other documents resulting from previous JointMeetings on Pesticide Residues are listed in Annex 1.Monographs on residues prepared by the FAO Panel ofExperts are published as a companion volume, as Evaluations2006, Part I, Residues, in the FAO Plant Production andProtection Paper series.

Evaluation of Certain Food Additives and ContaminantsSixty-eighth Report of the Joint FAO/WHO ExpertCommittee on Food Additives

This report represents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHOExpert Committee convened to evaluate the safety of various food additives, including flavouring agents, with a view to recommending acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and to preparing specifications for identity and purity. The Committee also evaluated the risk posed by two foodcontaminants, with the aim of advising on risk managementoptions for the purpose of public health protection.

The first part of the report contains a general discussion of the principles governing the toxicological evaluation and assessment of intake of food additives (in particularflavouring agents) and contaminants. A summary follows of the Committee’s evaluations of technical, toxicological andintake data for certain food additives (acidified sodiumchlorite, asparaginase from Aspergillus oryzae expressed inAspergillus oryzae, carrageenan and processed Eucheumaseaweed, cyclotetraglucose and cyclotetraglucose syrup,isoamylase from Pseudomonas amyloderamosa, magnesiumsulfate, phospholipase A1 from Fusarium venenatumexpressed in Aspergillus oryzae, sodium iron(III)ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and steviolglycosides); eight groups of related flavouring agents (linearand branched-chain aliphatic, unsaturated, unconjugatedalcohols, aldehydes, acids and related esters; aliphatic acyclicand alicyclic terpenoid tertiary alcohols and structurallyrelated substances; simple aliphatic and aromatic sulfides andthiols; aliphatic acyclic diols, triols and related substances;aliphatic acetals; sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds;aliphatic and aromatic amines and amides; and aliphaticalicyclic linear α,β-unsaturated di- and trienals and relatedalcohols, acids and esters); and two food contaminants(aflatoxin and ochratoxin A).

Specifications for the following food additives were revised:maltol and ethyl maltol, nisin preparation, pectins, polyvinylalcohol, and sucrose esters of fatty acids. Specifications forthe following flavouring agents were revised: maltol andethyl maltol, maltyl isobutyrate, 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethylfuranand 2,4,5-trimethyl-delta-oxazoline (Nos 1482, 1506 and1559), and monomenthyl glutarate (No. 1414), as well asthe method of assay for the sodium salts of certainflavouring agents.

Annexed to the report are tables summarizing the Committee’srecommendations for intakes and toxicological evaluations ofthe food additives and contaminants considered.

Monitoring Vital Events Resource Kit

Timely and reliable information on vital events is thecornerstone of governance and the basic of underpinning ofpublic health. Yet, in most developing countries, monitoringof these events is still lacking: births and deaths go unregisteredand causes of death patterns remain poorly understood.

This Resource Kit is intended to aid national agencies,development partners, and technical experts to strengthenthe monitoring of vital events by providing easy, user-friendlyaccess to technical documents relating to civil registration,cause of death attribution, sentinel and sample registrationwith verbal autopsy, and demographic surveillance. TheResource Kit is a compilation of available materials from theWorld Health Organization, the UN Statistics Division andtechnical experts around the world.

Scaling up Health Service DeliveryFrom Pilot Innovations to Policies and Programmes

This book considers the topic of scaling up from a particularvantage point. The focus is on ways to increase the impact of health service innovations that have been tested in pilot or experimental projects so as to benefit more people and to foster policy and programme development on a lasting,sustainable basis.

The book addresses a major failure in the global health anddevelopment field: namely, the failure to expand the manysuccessful small-scale pilot or demonstration projects thathave been organized around the world so as to benefit larger populations than those initially served.. I t presents aconceptual framework for thinking about scaling up as wellas case-studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America where the potential for expansion was a concern from the veryinception of pilot or experimental projects.

The case-studies discuss family planning and relatedreproductive health service interventions as well as otherinnovations in primary health care. The book build s uponnearly 15 years of experience with the development andtesting, in more than 25 countries around the world, of theStrategic Approach to Strengthening Reproductive HealthPolicies and Programmes.

The Effectiveness of Health Impact AssessmentScope and Limitations of Supporting Decision-making in Europe

Health impact assessment (HIA) is a support tool forintersectoral decision- and policy-making. It is employed to assess the potential health consequences of pendingdecisions and it feeds this information back into thedecision-making process.

The book provides a detailed map of the use of HIA inEurope across a large range of sectors, including transport,environment, urban planning and agriculture, and atnational, regional and local levels. It also reviews theimplementation and institutionalization of HIA with a specific focus on governance, financing, resourcegeneration and delivery.

The effectiveness of HIA is explored and analysed in 17 casestudies using a common analytical approach. The researchalso identifies factors contributing to the effectiveness of HIA.Overall the book demonstrates that HIA can be effective. It also reveals the uneven development and incompleteinstitutionalization of HIA across Europe.

People at the Centre of Health CareHarmonizing Mind and Body, People and Systems

This book calls for a bold transformation of health care andhealth systems in the 21st century. Quality of care hasbecome an increasingly important issue for the World HealthOrganization s South-East Asia and Western Pacific Regions,and a policy framework for people-centred health care wasendorsed by Member States in September 2007.

Specific policy reforms and interventions necessary totransform health care to a more holistic, people-centredapproach will need to be determined by leaders and policy-makers at local and national levels in consultation with theirconstituencies and all interested stakeholders. This book,which is designed to bring members of the public into thatdebate, is a necessary first step in encouraging dialogue.

Atlas: Global Resources for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities, 2007

This global report includes information from 147 countries,representing 95% of the world population. The informationis specifically related to terms and classification systems usedfor this population, policy and legislation, financing andbenefits, prevention, health and social care services, humanresources and training, research and information systems and roles of NGOs and international organizations.

In addition, the Atlas-ID includes a complete glossary ofterms with definitions of basic concepts related to theintellectual disabilities field and the questionnaire used tocollect the quantitative and qualitative information. Atlas-IDfindings reveal a lack of adequate policy and legislativeresponse and a serious deficiency of services and resourcesallocated to the care of persons with ID globally.

The evidence provided by this report is likely to be useful toprofessionals, NGOs, development agencies, public healthand social-services sector organizations, service planners,policy makers, health and social researchers, family membersof people with ID, and especially to people with intellectualdisabilities. This report constitutes a call for mobilization ofresources and the respect of the basic individual rights ofpersons with ID at the international level.

Mental Health Aspects of Women'sReproductive HealthA Global Review of the Literature

This book has reviewed the research undertaken on a broadrange of reproductive health issues and their mental healthdeterminants/consequences over the last 15 years from bothhigh- and low-income countries.

Evidence from peer-reviewed journals has been usedwherever possible but has been augmented with results of aspecific survey initiated to gather state of the art informationon reproductive and mental health issues from a variety ofresearchers and interested parties. Valuable data fromconsultant reports, national programme evaluations andpostgraduate research work was also compiled, analyzed and synthesized.

The InternationalPharmacopoeia Fourth Edition – First SupplementThe fourth edition of the International Pharmacopoeia comprisestwo main volumes published in 2006. This first Supplementincludes a collection of recommended procedures for analysis and specifications for the determination of pharmaceuticalsubstances, excipients and dosage forms that is intended to serveas source material for reference or adaptation by any WHOMember State wishing to establish pharmaceutical requirements.

New monographs New monographs are included for fiveantiretroviral substances, for sixteen antiretroviral dosageforms including two fixed-dose combination preparations, for one antimalarial dosage form and for six antituberculosisdosage forms including 2-, 3-, and 4-component fixed-dosepreparations. Such specifications support the joint UNICEF-WHO-UN Prequalification project, managed by WHO. In

developing these monographs WHO has worked closely withmanufacturers, national authorities and national quality controllaboratories. New general monographs for Liquid preparations for oral use and Oral powders are included to support the relevantspecific dosage-form monographs. The monograph for Liquidpreparations for oral use highlights that such preparations areoften the dosage form of choice for paediatric use. This generalmonograph also includes a statement on Safety concerns in thesection on Manufacture. This draws attention to the importanceof ensuring the quality of starting materials. Failure to ensure that starting materials are of the required quality can have veryserious consequences.

Revision In parallel with the development of the newmonograph for Doxycycline capsules, the publishedmonographs for Doxycycline hyclate and Doxycycline tabletshave been revised and replacement texts are included in thissupplement. A requirement for dissolution has been includedfor several monographs.

Infrared Reference spectra Many monographs in TheInternational Pharmacopoeia include an identification test usinginfrared spectroscopy; these tests usually allow comparison eitherwith a spectrum obtained from the ICRS or with a referencespectrum. The majority of the infrared reference spectra are newly avialable and published within this supplement.

Chromatographic tests In chromatographic tests includedwithin the monographs of The International Pharmacopoeia,the type of chromatographic column, column packing or TLCplate to be used is stated but reference to commercial sources of these supports is not given. When a draft monograph iscirculated for comment, the particular column that was usedduring the development of a liquid chromatographic test isprovided for information (usually in a footnote to the text). This information is now provided on the WHO Medicineswebsite to assist analysts with respect to choice of column forthose monographs recently introduced into the Pharmacopoeia.

WHO has produced a first comprehensive analysis of global tobaccouse and control: The WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic,2008. The report confirms that the global tobacco epidemic is oneof the greatest public health threats of modern times, that, leftunchecked, could result in one billion deaths in the 21st century.The epidemic is shifting towards the developing world, where 80%of tobacco-related deaths will occur within a few decades. Theshift is caused by a global tobacco industry strategy to targetyoung people and adults in the developing world. The reportconcludes that although there has been progress in recent years,virtually every country needs to do more . Currently only 5% ofthe world s population is fully covered by any one of the keyinterventions that have significantly reduced tobacco use in thecountries that have implemented them.

The WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2008identifies

as powerful response to the epidemic a set of the six key provenstrategies to drive down tobacco use - the mpower package - whoseimplementation provides the best chance for saving millions of livesdevastated by tobacco:

• Monitor tobacco use and prevention policies. • Protect people from tobacco smoke.• Offer help to quit tobacco use. • Warn about the dangers of tobacco.• Enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion

and sponsorship.• Raise taxes on tobacco.

The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC)created political momentum for global tobacco prevention. Thempower package provides a clear roadmap to help countries fulfiland build on their WHO FCTC obligations and save many millions of lives by the middle of this century.

Countries are not alone in combating the tobacco industry which ispowerful and cash-rich. WHO, together with its partners, is scaling-up capacity to help implement the mpower strategies at countrylevel. The WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2008highlights the potential for partnerships to tackle the tobaccoepidemic in developing countries. By taking action to implement the mpower policies, governments and civil society can create theenabling environment necessary to protect people from second-handsmoke, help people quit tobacco use and prevent its initiation.

Implementing the Stop TB StrategyA Handbook for National Tuberculosis ControlProgrammes

An adequate strategy for the control of tuberculosis (TB)globally calls for a comprehensive approach to address all of the main constraints facing TB control, including emergingchallenges, as well as the main risk factors influencing theincidence of TB and socioeconomic and environmental aspects.

Consequently, the scope of activities undertaken by nationalTB control programmes has greatly increased. The purpose ofthis handbook is to bring together in summarized form theissues, recommended strategies and practical measuresinvolved in addressing each of the components of the StopTB Strategy.

The handbook has been prepared principally for use bynational TB control programme managers and staff, as well as partner organizations and professionals involved inimplementing TB control activities. Readers are provided with a concise account of the essential elements of acomprehensive TB control programme and an overview ofthe full range of activities that need to be implemented toachieve the TB control targets set for 2015. This publication isthe successor to the WHO Tuberculosis Handbook publishedin 1998.

Assessing Tuberculosis Prevalence throughPopulation-based Surveys

This publication provides countries with practical guidelinesfor planning population-based surveys to estimate theprevalence of tuberculosis (TB) at a national level. TBprevalence surveys yield useful information in areas wherenotification data obtained through routine surveillance areincomplete or of unproven accuracy, and in areas with anestimated TB prevalence of more than 100 per 100 000.

These surveys are used to evaluate the performance of the TB programme and to assess trends over time. To achieve thisobjective, data are collected through standards methods in awell-defined study population.

This document is meant to provide information on the coresurvey methods, including diagnostic tests for TB, screeningstrategies, and case definitions. The target audience includesTB experts and advisers at national and international levels,and investigators involved in prevalence surveys.

WHO Guidelines on Tularaemia

Tularaemia is a bacterial zoonotic disease of the northernhemisphere. The bacterium (Francisella tularensis) is highlyvirulent for humans and a range of animals such as rodents,hares and rabbits. Humans can infect themselves by directcontact with infected animals, by arthropod bites, by ingestionof contaminated water or food, or by inhalation of infectiveaerosols. There is no human-to-human transmission.

In addition to its natural occurrence, F. tularensis evokes great concern as a potential bioterrorism agent. F. tularensissubspecies tularensis is one of the most infectious pathogensknown in human medicine.

In order to avoid laboratory-associated infection, safetymeasures are needed and consequently, clinical laboratoriesdo not generally accept specimens for culture. However, sinceclinical management of cases depends on early recognition,there is an urgent need for diagnostic services.

This first edition of WHO Guidelines on tularaemia providesbackground information on the disease, describes thecurrent best practices for its diagnosis and treatments in humans, suggests measures to be taken in case ofepidemics and provides guidance on how to handle F. tularensis in the laboratory.

WATER AND SANITATION

Calcium and Magnesium in Drinking-waterPublic Health Significance

Can calcium and magnesium (‘hardness’) in drinking watercontribute to preventing disease? This book documents theoutputs of an unprecedented group of experts assembled bythe World Health Organization to address this question. Itincludes their comprehensive consensus view on what isknown and what is not about the role and possible healthbenefit of calcium and magnesium in drinking-water. Also included is a series of chapters each authored byinternationally renowned experts reviewing the state of theart in different aspects, including:

• global dietary calcium and magnesium intakes• the contribution of drinking water to calcium

and magnesium intake• health significance of calcium and magnesium• role of drinking-water in relation to bone

metabolism• epidemiological studies and the association of

cardiovascular disease risks with water hardness and magnesium in particular

• water production, technical issues and economics.

In both developed and developing countries, typical diets areoften defi¬cient in calcium and magnesium, essentialminerals which are necessary for the development of strongbones and teeth, and for cardiovascu¬lar function. At thesame time, there is evidence that consuming ‘hard’ drinking-water may be associated with reduced risks for somediseases.

Climate change and other ongoing changes will increase theuse of ‘high tech’ treatments – for example desalination andreclamation of polluted waters and mean that the issue willbe of increasing future importance.

• Prevention and control of pneumonia in childrenChildhood pneumonia still accounts for up to 2.4 million deathsworldwide and remains a major public health challenge in manysettings. There is, however, optimism that a focussed and integratedapproach at country level could dramatically reduce morbidity and mortality from child pneumonia. This theme issue will review the epidemiology of pneumonia, the expected impact of variousinterventions, the obstacles to scaling them up, and impact assessment and cost-effectiveness.

• Bioethics and public healthBioethics has been the subject of considerable interest since the 1950s, but until recently ethicists have devoted little attention to publichealth. This theme issue will contribute to the debate on a number of current issues in public health ethics and will be of relevance topolicy-makers, ethicists and patients' organizations in both developedand developing countries.

• Health financing policy towards universal coverageHow a health system is financed is probably the single most importantdeterminant of whether its users can obtain the care that they need.This theme issue will cover health financing policies and their link to the policy of universal health care coverage as well as presenting acomprehensive view of health financing policy.

The Blue Trunk Library has been developed by the libraryof the World Health Organization for installation in districthealth centres in Africa as a means of compensating forthe lack of up-to-date medical and health information.After 10 years of existence more than 1800 libraries have

been distributed to health districts in poorcountries of the world, where healthinformation access is difficult. Trainingworkshops, for the optimal use of theinformation contained in each blue trunk, was also provided to more than 550 healthprofessionals during this period.

The collection, which is organized accordingto major health subjects, contains more than one hundredand fifty books on medicine and public health. Thecollection has recently been revised and updated with the latest information available.

Among the works chosen, priority has been given topractical manuals (especially those published by WHO)offering easily accessible solutions to the medical, public

health and management problems medical staff mayhave to face. Differing levels of education amongdistrict medical staff have also been taken into account.The same topic may be addressed in differentpublications from a different point of view: that of thephysician, the nurse, the nursing auxiliary or health worker.

In order to make it easier to transport and store, thecollection has been packed into a blue metal trunk fittedwith two shelves on which cardboard boxes containingthe books are arranged by field of interest.

INTRODUCTION

37

Voilà près de 25 ans que la Classification internationale desmaladies pour l’oncologie (CIM-O) constitue l’ouvrage deréférence pour coder les diagnostics de néoplasmes dans les registres des tumeurs et du cancer et les laboratoiresd'anatomopathologie. La CIM-O, qui en est maintenant à sa troisième édition, est une double classification avec des systèmes de codage topographique et morphologique.

Si tous les codes topographiques restent les mêmes que dans l’édition précédente, les codes morphologiques ont été entièrement réexaminés et, le cas échéant, modifiéspour améliorer leur précision diagnostique et leur valeur

pronostique. La plupart des modifications reflètent la nécessitéurgente de coder les nouveaux diagnostics en hématopathologie.

L’ouvrage comporte cinq sections. La première fournit des instructionsgénérales pour l’utilisation des systèmes de codage et des règles pourleur application dans les registres des tumeurs et les laboratoiresd'anatomopathologie. La section deux comprend la liste numérique

de codes de topographie qui n’ont pas changé par rapport à l’éditionprécédente. La liste numérique descodes morphologiques fait l’objet de lasection suivante qui introduit plusieurstermes nouveaux et comprend desrévisions importantes des sectionsconcernant les lymphomes nonhodgkiniens et la leucémie, sur la base de la Classification de l'OMS pour des maladies hématopoïétiques etlymphoïdes. Les codes morphologiquesà cinq caractères permettent decaractériser une tumeur ou un typecellulaire à partir de son histologie, deson comportement et de son grade. Les révisions de la section morphologique

ont été apportées en consultation avec un grand nombre d’experts et ont été finalisées après des essais sur le terrain dans les registres du cancer du monde entier.

L’index alphabétique, figurant dans la section quatre, donneaussi bien les codes topographiques que morphologiques etcomprend différentes lésions et affections de type tumoral. On trouvera dans la dernière section un guide expliquant lesdifférences entre les codes morphologiques des deuxième ettroisième éditions, ainsi que des listes de tous les nouveauxnuméros de code, des nouvelles expressions et des synonymesajoutés aux définitions de code existantes, des termes qui ontchangé de code morphologique, des termes appliqués auxaffections désormais considérées comme malignes, des termessupprimés et des termes dont le code de comportement a changé.

Guide mondial des "villes amies" des aînées

Les deux tendances mondiales que sont le vieillissementdémographique et l'urbanisation vont, ensemble, fortementmarquer le XXIème siècle. L'essor urbain s'accompagne d'uneaugmentation progressive du nombre des citadins de plus de 60 ans.

Les personnes âgées constituent une ressource pour leurfamille, leur communauté et l'économie lorsqu'elles viventdans un cadre porteur et favorable. Pour l'OMS, veillir enrestant actif est un processus qui s'inscrit dans uneperspective globale de la vie et qui est influencé par plusieursfacteurs, isolés ou associés, favorisant la bonne santé, laparticipation et la sécurité pendant la vieillesse.

S'inspirant de l'approche OMS du vieillissement actif, leprésent Guide a pour objectif d'inciter les villes à mieuxs'adapter aux besoins des aînés de façon à exploiter lepotentiel que représentent les personnes âgées pourl'humanité. Travaillant avec des groupes répartis dans 33villes de toutes ses régions, l'OMS a invité les personnesâgées des groupes de discussion à décrire les avantages qu'elles retirent et les obstacles auxquels elles se heurtent danshuit domaines de la vie urbaine.

Les résultats obtenus ont permis d'établir un ensemble defeuilles de route concernant les villes-amies des aînés.

Chimioprévention des helminthiases chezl'homme: Utilisation coordonnée desmédicaments anthelminthiques pour lesinterventions de lutteManuel à l'intention des professionnels de la santé et des administrateurs de programmes

La chimioprévention se sert des médicamentsanthelminthiques disponibles, seuls ou en association, pouren faire un outil de santé publique et prévenir la morbiditéimputable à des infections dues en général à plus d’unhelminthe à la fois. Dans certaines situations épidémiologiques,elle permet également d’obtenir une réduction durable de latransmission. Comme nombre de ces médicaments ont unlarge spectre d’action et permettent de lutter contre plusieursmaladies à la fois, les actions de chimioprévention doiventêtre conçues davantage en fonction du médicament que de la maladie : l’accent doit porter sur la meilleure façond’utiliser de manière coordonnée les médicamentsdisponibles, plutôt que sur des helminthiases spécifiques.

Bien que le présent manuel porte essentiellement sur lachimiothérapie des helminthiases humaines, il existe unpotentiel énorme pour intégrer celle-ci dans le traitementd’autres maladies. La chimioprévention doit donc commencerà un âge précoce et il ne faut laisser passer aucune occasionde traiter les populations exposées au risque.

Dans ce manuel, nous avons voulu donner des informationsutiles pour la mise en oeuvre coordonnée d’interventionsrégulières, systématiques et à grande échelle qui fournissentla chimiothérapie anthelminthique en tant qu’élémentessentiel d’une lutte conjointe et en synergie contre leshelminthiases que sont la filariose lymphatique, l’onchocercose,la schistosomiase ou encore les géohelminthiases.

Tout en étant un document générique, applicable dans toutes les situations épidémiologiques, il garde sa spécificitéen ne traitant que des médicaments et de leur utilisationcoordonnée : il ne couvre pas d’autres interventionsimportantes pour la santé publique, comme l’éducationsanitaire, l’assainissement, la salubrité de l’eau, la lutteantivectorielle, etc., nécessaires pour obtenir une réductiondurable de la transmission, puis l’élimination des helminthiases.Il reviendra aux administrateurs de programme d’adapter lecontenu du manuel à la situation régionale, nationale, localeet aux ressources disponibles.

De même ils devront intégrer la chimioprévention dans lesstratégies plus globales de lutte ou d’élimination qui existentdéjà ou sont prévues pour l’avenir.

Statistiques sanitaires mondiales 2007

Cette édition regroupe les statistiques les plus récentesconcernant 50 indicateurs de la santé dans les 193 EtatsMembres de l’OMS. On trouvera une série élargie destatistiques fondamentales et une section avec dix pointsmarquants concernant les statistiques sanitaires mondiales au cours de l’année écoulée.

L’ouvrage a été établi à partir de publications et de bases dedonnées des programmes techniques et des bureaux régionauxde l’OMS. La série d’indicateurs fondamentale a été choisiesur la base de la pertinence pour la santé mondiale, de ladisponibilité et de la qualité des données, ainsi que de lafiabilité et de la comparabilité des estimations. Les statistiquesconcernant les indicateurs sont fondées sur un processusinteractif de collecte, de regroupement, d’évaluation de laqualité et d’estimation des données entre les programmestechniques de l’OMS et ses Etats Membres. Dans ce processus,l’OMS s’efforce de privilégier dans toute la mesure dupossible l'accessibilité, la fiabilité, la comparabilité et latransparence des statistiques sanitaires nationales.

Outre les statistiques nationales, cette publication présentedes données sur la répartition de certaines issues sanitaires et interventions dans les pays, ventilées selon le sexe, l’âge, le cadre urbain/rural, la fortune et le niveau d’instruction. Ces statistiques sont tirées avant tout de l’analyse d’enquêtesdans les ménages et ne sont disponibles que pour un nombrelimité de pays.

PALUDISME

Directives pour le traitement du paludisme

Le but de ce document est de fournir des lignes directricescompréhensibles, de portée mondiale, reposant sur des bases factuelles, pour aider à formuler des politiques et desprotocoles de traitement du paludisme. Des indications y sont présentées sur le traitement du paludisme simple,notamment dans des groupes particuliers (jeunes enfants,femmes enceintes, personnes VIH-positives, voyageursprovenant de zones non endémiques pour le paludisme), lors des épidémies et dans les situations d'urgence complexes; du paludisme grave. Ce guide ne traitent pas des utilisationspréventives des antipaludiques telles que le traitementpréventif intermittent ou la chimioprophylaxie.

Ces lignes directrices sont principalement destinées auxresponsables de l'élaboration des politiques des ministères de la santé et les spécialistes de la santé publique et despolitiques de santé travaillant dans les hôpitaux, lesministères, les organisations non gouvernementales et les services de soins de santé primaires, les professionnels de la santé (médecins, personnel infirmier et paramédical).

Elles offrent un cadre pour l'élaboration des protocoles detraitement précis et plus détaillés, prenant en compte lescaractéristiques nationales et locales de la pharmacorésistancedes plasmodies et les infrastructures disponibles dans lesservices de santé. Elles ne visent pas à fournir un guideclinique complet du traitement du paludisme. Cependant,lorsqu'il y a des controverses concernant des pratiquescliniques particulières, et qu'on dispose actuellement dedonnées permettant d'orienter la prise de décisionconcernant ces pratiques, cette information y figure.

Lutte antipaludique dans les situationsd’urgence complexesManuel interorganisations à l’intention du personnel de terrain

Les parties du monde dont les populations sont les plustouchées par des situations d’urgence complexes sontsouvent celles où la charge de paludisme est la plus forte.Cette maladie est donc une importante cause de morbidité et de mortalité dans les situations d’urgence complexes.

Ce manuel interorganisations insiste sur les mesures efficacesde lutte antipaludique nécessaires dans les situations d’urgencecomplexes, surtout lors de la phase aiguë de dépendancemaximale de l’aide humanitaire internationale. Le manuelfournit aux responsables politiques, aux planificateurs, aux responsables des programmes sur le terrain et auxcoordonnateurs médicaux des conseils pratiques sur la miseau point et l’application des mesures permettant de réduire la morbidité et la mortalité palustres.

Ces mesures doivent tenir compte des besoins aussi bien des personnes déplacées que de la population d’accueil et aussi de l’évolution de ces besoins à mesure que l’on passe d’une urgence aiguë à une situation plus stable. On trouvera un glossaire au début du manuel et dessuggestions bibliographiques à la fin de plusieurs chapitres.

Le Programme Partenariats positifs en ThaïlandeDonner aux personnes vivant avec le VIH les moyens de se prendre en charge

Dans la majorité des sociétés, les personnes vivant avec le VIH sont particulièrement pauvres, stigmatisées et isolées ausein de leur communauté. Un programme qui se développeen Thaïlande rurale, le PPP ou Programme Partenariatspositifs (Positive Partnerships Program) a montré qu’uneassistance économique ciblée pouvait redonner confiance en elles, ambition et espoir aux personnes séropositives – ce qui a pour effet de resserrer les liens communautaires et d’instaurer un environnement plus propice aux efforts de prévention et de traitement. Le présent document «Meilleures Pratiques » montre comment et pourquoi ceProgramme peut servir de modèle souple et adaptable dans d’autres pays.

La riposte nationale d’une organisation nongouvernementale au VIH : action du All-Ukrainian Network of People Living with HIVFaits marquants

La création du All-Ukrainian Network of People Living withHIV remonte à la fin des années 90, lorsqu’un certain nombrede personnes se sont alarmées face à la rapide progressiondu processus épidémique dans leur pays et au manque deressources et d’appui dont elles-mêmes et l’ensemble decelles affectées par l’infection à VIH auraient alors eu besoin.

Depuis lors, le Réseau n’a cessé de croître et prodiguedésormais des services sur l’ensemble du territoire. Ses composantes stratégiques clés sont les suivantes :l’élargissement de l’accès aux soins et à l’appui, lamobilisation des pouvoirs publics et l’organisation decampagnes de sensibilisation destinées à préserver les droits des personnes vivant avec le VIH, l’incitation àdavantage de tolérance de la part de la société à l’égard des personnes vivant avec le VIH, et l’amélioration de sescapacités organisationnelles.

Ce document succinct décrit dans ses grandes lignes ledéveloppement du Réseau et souligne les enseignementsacquis. Une étude plus approfondie fournissant davantaged’informations sur l’action du Réseau est disponible sur le site Internet de l’ONUSIDA.

Ciudades globales amigables con los mayoresUna guía

El envejecimiento y la urbanización de la población son dos tendencias mundiales que, combinadas, suponen unpotente fenómeno que dará forma al siglo XXI. Al mismotiempo que crecen las ciudades, aumenta la proporción desus moradores que tiene más de 60 años. Las personasmayores son un recurso para sus familias, sus comunidades y sus economías si viven en un entorno que las apoya y las favorece.

La OMS considera que el envejecimiento activo es un proceso que dura toda la vida y que depende de variosfactores que, tanto de forma independiente comocombinados, favorecen la salud, la participación y laseguridad del adulto de más edad. Informado por elenfoque de la OMS sobre el envejecimiento activo, elpropósito de la presente Guía es animar a las ciudades a convertirse en lugares más accesibles para las personasmayores con el fin de aprovechar el potencial querepresentan para la humanidad.

En 33 ciudades de todas las regiones de la OMS, laOrganización ha trabajado con grupos de personas mayores que han descrito las ventajas y los obstáculos que experimentan en ocho aspectos distintos de la vidaurbana. En la mayoría de las ciudades, las observaciones de los mayores se complementaron con opiniones degrupos de cuidadores y proveedores de servicios de lossectores público, voluntario y privado. Los resultados deltrabajo de los grupos llevaron a la elaboración de unconjunto de listas de comprobación del grado en que las ciudades son amigables para los mayores.

Respuesta nacional de una organización nogubernamental al VIH: el trabajo de la RedPanucraniana de Personas que Viven con el VIH– Hechos destacados

La Red Panucraniana de Personas que Viven con el VIH fue fundada a finales de la década de 1990 por personasalarmadas ante el rápido crecimiento de la epidemia en supaís y por la falta de recursos y apoyo para sí mismas y paraotras personas afectadas por el VIH.

Desde entonces, la Red ha crecido para proporcionar serviciospor todo el país. Sus elementos estratégicos fundamentalesson: el creciente acceso a la atención y apoyo; el trabajo depromoción para proteger los derechos de las personas queviven con el VIH; los esfuerzos por aumentar la aceptaciónsocial de las personas que viven con el VIH, y el mejoramientode la capacidad organizativa de la Red.

El presente documento resume brevemente la evolución de laRed y destaca las enseñanzas adquiridas. En el sitio Web delONUSIDA está disponible un estudio de mayor extensión conmás información sobre la Red.
