How to treat neuropathic pain, a chronic disease that affects 7 to 10 % of the French population and for which no treatment is effective? The solution would come from researchers at the Institute of Neurosciences of Montpellier (Inserm/University of Montpellier) and the Laboratory of Therapeutic Innovation (CNRS/University of Strasbourg) (1) who have put together a study on the subject.

La crise de l’hôpital public, des hôpitaux de proximité, du secteur médico-social nous concerne tous et constitue le témoin le plus criant de la nécessité d’une réappropriation citoyenne des questions de santé.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released its new report on antibiotic resistance and it is worthy of attention.
