Increased waves of emigration of youthful adults seeking better work opportunities elsewhere, as well as counter-waves of 'return migration' of older Lebanese workers from neighboring host countries contribute further to the 'rectangularization' of the population pyramid. These trends are accompanied by an epidemiological transition towards non-communicable diseases, mental disorders and degenerative diseases as the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in lieu of communicable diseases. We examine in this paper the implications of these transformations on the health profile of older persons and on the social and health care available to them. Findings are discussed within the prevailing conflicts and political strife in the country, family transformations and structural settings including pension systems, health coverage, family support channels and social fabric, and nursing home-care. The paper ends with recommendations and options for.reforms.","PeriodicalId":430072,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal médical libanais.

This issue is not studied in the Lebanese society where a demographic transition is taking place and the population is aging. We assess the perception of age discrimination among Lebanese and its relation to self-esteem.Methods: We interviewed a convenience sample of 320 Lebanese elders (mean age 69.3 years +/- 6.2; 55% males) living in an urban setting (Beirut) and a rural setting (Ras-Baalbeck) a well as those who immigrated to Dakar using a preestablished questionnaire. Perception of age discrimination and socio-demographic information were collected; self-esteem was measured using the Toulouse scale. Results: More elders living in Beirut (OR = 9.7, 95% CI = 3.5-26.6) and Ras-Baalbeck (OR = 11.42, 95% CI = 3.95-33.1) perceived age-related discrimination than those living in Dakar. This perception was significantly associated to lower self-esteem (OR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.3-3.6).Conclusion: Supporting emotionally vulnerable elders should be a target for policy makers in Lebanon. It is important to preserve a better quality of life for elders still playing a major role in families.","PeriodicalId":430072,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal médical libanais.

Currently, emphasis on geriatrics is lacking in medical education curricula of most universities in Lebanon, and there is a shortage of geriatricians in the country.Methods: In this paper we present specific methods of integrating geriatrics into the undergraduate medical curriculum based on the experience of medical schools in the United States.Results: Incorporating geriatrics into the medical curriculum requires support from deans and faculty members at medical schools, as well as training of non-geriatricians to teach geriatrics within their specialty. Geriatrics training can be gradually incorporated into existing courses throughout the four years of medical school, and should consist of a holistic approach that teaches students how to diagnose, treat, and interact with older adults and their caregivers while being mindful of their psychological, physical and social wellbeing.Conclusions: Increasing exposure to geriatric education during medical school promises to increase interest in geriatrics, and ultimately help address the shortage of geriatricians in the country.","PeriodicalId":430072,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal médical libanais.

All deliveries occurring at LPP constituted the study group (n = 361), while births at or beyond 37 weeks' gestation were considered as controls (n = 2814).Results: The average rate of deliveries in LPP was 11.4% for the entire study period. The rate of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admissions, respiratory morbidities, sepsis, jaundice, hypothermia, hypoglycemia and overall neonatal morbidity were all significantly higher in LPP infants when compared to those at term (p-value < 0.013).Conclusion: In our cohort of Lebanese newborns delivered at LPP, significantly higher morbidities were encountered when compared to full-term newborns. Every possible effort should be exerted to avoid elective deliveries during LPP in order to curb the incidence of neonatal morbidities.","PeriodicalId":430072,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal médical libanais.

A similar difficulty was encountered in approximating the origins of both pectoralis major muscle flaps at the midline. Thus, a pliable synthetic patch was helpful in partially obliterating the widened sternal defect allowing successful muscular coverage.Result: Closure of a wide congenital sternal cleft using a synthetic material that partially obliterated an otherwise widely separated cleft sternum which was neither amenable for primary repair, nor by bilateral pectoralis major advancement alone, was possible.Conclusion: Strong prosthetic pliable material may offer a simple and useful procedure allowing obliteration of the widely separated cleft sternum not amenable for primary repair.","PeriodicalId":430072,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal médical libanais.

Weight and height were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Daily calcium intake and physical activity were evaluated using validated questionnaires. Hip bone mineral density was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). To evaluate hip bone geometry, DXA scans were analyzed at the narrow-neck (NN), the intertrochanteric (IT) region and the femoral shaft (FS) by the Hip Structure Analysis (HSA) program. Cross sectional area (CSA), an index of axial compression strength, cross sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), an index of structural rigidity, section modulus (Z), an index of bending strength, cortical thickness (CT) and buckling ratio (BR) were measured from bone mass profiles.Results: CSA, CSMI, Z and CT of the three regions (NN, IT and FS) were higher in soccer players compared to controls. After adjustment for either age, body weight, height or physical activity duration (h/week), CSA, CSMI, Z and CT of the three regions remained higher in soccer players compared to controls.Conclusion: This study suggests that, in young adult males, soccer practice is associated with greater axial strength, bending strength and structural rigidity indices at the hip.","PeriodicalId":430072,"journal":{"name":"Le Journal médical libanais.
