Offered by Université de Nantes,
Au cœur de la radioactivité médicale (FUN)

L’objectif général de ce MOOC est de replacer les enjeux de l’utilisation de la radioactivité en santé. Il aborde les notions essentielles à savoir sur la radioactivité, sur la production d’isotopes radioactifs et sur les médicaments radiopharmaceutiques. Les applications médicales et les règles élémentaires de radioprotection y sont traitées au travers d’exemples concrets.

Format
Ce cours dure 5 semaines réparties en 22 séquences. Chaque semaine, 4 à 5 séquences thématiques seront abordées. Les séquences seront présentées sous forme de vidéos et les participants auront à disposition des documents et vidéos complémentaires pour mieux comprendre ou approfondir certaines notions.

Prérequis
Il n’y a aucun pré-requis obligatoire pour suivre ce MOOC.
Néanmoins un niveau scientifique de lycée permettra d’appréhender plus facilement certaines notions techniques abordées dans les cours, en particulier dans les niveaux approfondis des connaissances présentées.

Since the start of the epidemic HIV has infected over 75 million people and provoked more than 35 million deaths. Today, although HIV replication can be controlled by antiretroviral treatment, HIV infection remains an outstanding global health issue, with 36.7 million infected people and 1 million HIV-related deaths in 2016, according to WHO. Half of the infected population does not have access to antiretroviral treatment and 2 million new infections are registered every year. In addition there is currently no cure for HIV and antiretroviral treatment needs to be maintained for life. In this MOOC we will review different aspects of HIV infection: from its biological origin and its identification as the causative agent of AIDS to the perspectives of eradication.

Medical Neuroscience explores the functional organization and neurophysiology of the human central nervous system, while providing a neurobiological framework for understanding human behavior. In this course, you will discover the organization of the neural systems in the brain and spinal cord that mediate sensation, motivate bodily action, and integrate sensorimotor signals with memory, emotion and related faculties of cognition. The overall goal of this course is to provide the foundation for understanding the impairments of sensation, action and cognition that accompany injury, disease or dysfunction in the central nervous system. The course will build upon knowledge acquired through prior studies of cell and molecular biology, general physiology and human anatomy, as we focus primarily on the central nervous system.

Etre en bonne santé, ce n’est pas un secret, ça nous permet de profiter plus longtemps d’une vie de qualité. Mais pour rester en bonne santé, il faut agir et ce n’est pas qu’une question de motivation! Il existe des dizaines de comportements de santé : mettre de la crème solaire, manger sainement, porter un casque à vélo, boire régulièrement de l’eau, ou encore pratiquer une activité physique régulière. Mais qu’est-ce qui explique que nous réalisons certaines de ces actions et pas d’autres ? Pourquoi est-ce si difficile de changer ses comportements ? L’objectif de ce cours sera de vous aider à mieux comprendre les mécanismes qui influencent notre motivation et les outils qui peuvent faciliter le passage de l’intention au comportement de santé.
