Experiences and expectations of patients with bipolar disorder type I
For the first time in France, patients with bipolar disorder type I were expressed as part of a study on their experience of illness and their expectations vis-à-vis health professionals, family members and society.
Conducted by IPSOS Health and led by a scientific committee of psychiatrists, this study provides insight into the issues of better therapeutic management of the disease, as well as a more successful integration of patients in society.
The study "bipolar I disorder: Experience and expectations of patients in 2009" was published on December 15 at a press conference organized by BMS and Otsuka, sponsors of the study.
- Dr Jean-Paul Chabannes, chief of psychiatry at CHS St. Egrève (Isère), presents and discusses the results of the study
- Dr Jean-Albert Meynard interview Annie Labbé, patient and president of the association ARGOS 2001 and illuminates the testimony of his experience as chief of psychiatry at the Centre Hospitalier Marius Lacroix, La Rochelle
Vis-à-vis the other, bipolar disorder type I are experienced as a cause of relationship problem: the feeling of rejection is felt for 38% of patients in their families and 44% in their circle of friends. 70% of them evoke a negative impact on working life, resulting in a perceived discrimination in the workplace, the employer's share (32%) but more importantly from colleagues (50%).
You can also download the brochure "Ideas true / false on bipolar disorder," published by the association and ARGOS 2001 Issues in Psychiatry, with support from Bristol-Myers Squibb and Otsuka.

Disease screening in France
The EFS system chooses the Novartis Diagnostics for screening blood products for HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C
The French Blood Establishment (EFS), the fifth largest blood collection organization in the world, chose the system of nucleic acid testing (NAT) Novartis Diagnostics to further reduce the risk of infection from blood products French and to prevent infections transmitted through transfusion. The system includes the first and only fully automated platform, Tigris, and testing for HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C Procleix ® Ultrio.
The adoption of the system Novartis Diagnostics offers the EFS solution fully automated blood test that meets the needs of its 14 sites, which cover all every year three million blood donations. Novartis has introduced its new systems in 14 sites in record time.
In preparation for the selection of Novartis Diagnostics as a sole supplier, the EFS has decided to opt for individual donor testing (IDT) in place and place of the method of "pooling" of blood donations ahead of tests NAT *. For EFS, the tests allow individual donors to provide the highest level of analytical sensitivity and eliminate the extra steps associated with the "pooling".
Novartis Diagnostics is a global leader in the field of high-sensitivity tests used to screen blood products in HIV, hepatitis B and C, and West Nile Virus. Previously, using the EFS system testing Novartis Diagnostics in a proportion that did not exceed 30% of its blood products.
