Please Do Whatever It Takes to End Our Daughter's Suffering!
2015, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueWhat is the best way to care for a child with severe neurologic impairment who seems to be dying and is in intractable pain? Can we give sedation as we remove life support? Is it ethically permissible to hasten death? In the United States, 5 states have legalized assisted suicide (although only for competent adults). In Belgium and the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal for children under some ... -

Efficacy of the Buzzy System for pain relief during venipuncture in children: a randomized controlled trial
2018, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueBackground and aim of the work: procedural pain is a significant issue for paediatric patients. In particular, needle pain is amongst the most stressful for children. Studies revealed that a large number of children do not receive adequate pain prevention during the procedures. Neglecting the prevention of needle pain can cause several psychological effects such as anxiety and phobias, and increase ... -
Soins palliatifs en pédiatrie, éthique et relation au patient
2014, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueL’extension aux personnes mineures de la loi belge sur l’euthanasie, intervenue courant 2014, pose question au regard des besoins des enfants en contexte de soins palliatifs pédiatriques. Ces besoins concernent essentiellement l’attention portée aux interrelations entre l’enfant, sa famille et l’équipe de soins ainsi qu’au soulagement de la douleur, physique, psychique et spirituelle. Des repères ... -
Does the Belgian law legalising euthanasia for minors really address the needs of life-limited children?
2014, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueThe Belgian law on euthanasia for adults was approved in 2002, the same year as laws on patients’ rights and on palliative care, which mostly address the needs of adults. On 13 February 2014, an extension of the euthanasia law that decriminalises euthanasia for children, without age restriction, was approved by the House of Representatives in Brussels (Belgian Ministry of Justice, 2014). In the ... -
D'un passage à l'autre, analogies entre l'accouchement et la mort
2016, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueIl existe des analogies troublantes entre le début et la fin de la vie d’un enfant. L’hypothèse d’une similitude de la problématique de la naissance et de la “mourance” de l’enfant permet une réflexion sur l’accompagnement en contexte de soins palliatifs pédiatriques. -
La dégradabilité des plastiques en culture de maïs : sous l'effet des micro-organismes et de la lumière, avec quels résultats et améliorations possibles ?
22 avril 2021, HE CondorcetCARAHArticle scientifique[Disponible sur le site du sillon belge]La culture de maïs sous plastique soulève de nombreuses interrogations, notamment en matière d’environnement. Pour éclaircir cette problématique, le Carah a passé au crible différents types de plastique et a étudié plus précisément leur dégradabilité. Ces essais en laboratoire ont ensuite été complétés par une évaluation au champ, sous la houlette du Cipf. En ... -
Cardiorespiratory responses during running and sport-specific exercises in handball players
mai 2009, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueTo determine whether a 4-a-side handball (HB) game is an appropriate aerobic stimulus to reach and potentially enhance maximal oxygen uptake (V˙O2max), and whether heart rate (HR) is a valid index of V˙O2 during a handball game. Nine skilled players (21.0 ± 2.9 yr) underwent a graded maximal aerobic test (GT) where V˙O2max and HR−V˙O2 relationship were determined. V˙O2, HR and blood lactate ([La]b) ... -
Accuracy of Medical Oxygen Flowmeters: A Multicentric Field Study
août 2014, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueThe accuracy of 476 oxygen flowmeters was investigated using a thermal mass flowmeter in eight hospitals in France and Belgium. Different oxygen flow rates (2 to 15 l/min) were evaluated at the patient’s bed. When the sample was considered as a whole, the accuracy of delivered flow was acceptable but precision was poor. The variability of the delivered flow between devices was greater when a low ... -
Effect of dietary nitrate supplementation on tolerance to supramaximal intensity intermittent exercise
29 mai 2015, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueDietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation has been shown to increase exercise tolerance and improve oxidative efficiency during aerobic exercise in healthy subjects. We tested the hypothesis that a 3-day supplementation in beetroot juice (BJ) rich in NO3− would improve the tolerance to supramaximal intensity intermittent exercise consisting of 15-s exercise periods at 170% of the maximal aerobic power ... -
Effect of dietary nitrate supplementation on metabolic rate during rest and exercise in human: A systematic review and a meta-analysis
16 janvier 2016, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueBackground Recent randomized controlled trials have suggested that dietary nitrate (NO3-), found in beetroot and other vegetables, and inorganic NO3− salts decrease metabolic rate under resting and exercise conditions. Objective Our aim was therefore to determine from a systematic review and meta-analysis whether dietary NO3− supplementation significantly reduces metabolic rate, expressed as ... -
Bilateral Strength Deficit Is Not Neural in Origin; Rather Due to Dynamometer Mechanical Configuration
18 décembre 2015, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueDuring maximal contractions, the sum of forces exerted by homonymous muscles unilaterally is typically higher than the sum of forces exerted by the same muscles bilaterally. However, the underlying mechanism(s) of this phenomenon, which is known as the bilateral strength deficit, remain equivocal. One potential factor that has received minimal attention is the contribution of body adjustments to ... -

The Belgian euthanasia law and its impact on the practises of Belgian paediatric palliative care teams
2018, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueThis commentary describes the effect of the Belgian euthanasia law extended to children law on the practices of two paediatric liaison care teams in Belgium (one in Flanders, one in Wallonia). Ethical challenges are discussed based on clinical experiences of those teams, who affirm that in 25 years of practice, they were never confronted with a child requesting euthanasia. -
Building Bridges, Paediatric Palliative Care in Belgium: A secondary data analysis of annual paediatric liaison team reports from 2010 to 2014
2018, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueBACKGROUND: Although continuity of care in paediatric palliative care (PPC) is considered to be an essential element of quality of care, it's implementation is challenging. In Belgium, five paediatric liaison teams (PLTs) deliver palliative care. A Royal Decree issued in 2010 provides the legal framework that defines the PLTs' missions, as ensuring continuity of curative and palliative care between ... -

Instruments to Measure Outcomes in Pediatric Palliative Care: A Systematic Review
2019, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiquePediatric palliative care (PPC) is intended to promote children's quality of life by using a family-centered approach. However, the measurement of this multidimensional outcome remains challenging. To review the instruments used to assess the impact of PPC interventions. Five databases (Embase, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, PsychInfo, Medline) were searched. Inclusion criteria were as follows: ... -
Access to paediatric palliative care in children and adolescents with complex chronic conditions: a retrospective hospital-based study in Brussels, Belgium
2019, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiquePaediatric complex chronic conditions (CCCs) are life-limiting conditions requiring paediatric palliative care, which, in Belgium, is provided through paediatric liaison teams (PLTs). Like the number of children and adolescents with these conditions in Belgium, their referral to PLTs is unknown. Objectives: The aim of the study was to identify, over a 5-year period (2010–2014), the number of children ... -
La qualité de vie des enfants en contexte palliatif, comment la documenter? Peut-on la mesurer?
2019, HE Léonard de VinciArticle scientifiqueLes soins palliatifs pédiatriques visent à promouvoir la meilleure qualité de vie des enfants. Cependant, mesurer cette qualité de vie, qui est un construit hautement subjectif et multidimensionnel, est complexe car il faut tenir compte de l’hétérogénéité des maladies, des âges, des trajectoires de soins ainsi que des types d’interventions. Actuellement, la plupart des instruments de mesure ne ...
