Contrôler une épidémie de maladies infectieuses émergentes (FUN)

Ce MOOC est destiné à former les participants, à partir d’une étude de cas, à la surveillance des maladies infectieuses émergentes, mais aussi à la prévention et au contrôle des épidémies. Les maladies infectieuses émergentes nécessitent une approche interdisciplinaire mobilisant l’épidémiologie et les biomathématiques, la virologie, l’immunologie, la santé publique humaine et animale, l’entomologie, la recherche clinique sur les maladies infectieuses, la sociologie, la médecine, les sciences politiques et de communication sur le risque, et des éléments d’économie de la santé.

A chaque fois que possible, il sera montré comment chaque discipline a pu contribuer pour sa part à la construction d’une expertise commune contribuant à la recherche de solutions face à une épidémie de maladie infectieuse émergente. La synergie, les relations, l’interdépendance entre les disciplines seront aussi soulignées. Notre approche sera pragmatique et retracera l’étude d’une épidémie de Chikungunya, une maladie transmise par un moustique Aedes albopictus survenue dans l’Océan Indien en 2006. Seront présentés et analysés : les outils de surveillance, les méthodes d’alerte et de détection précoce, les études visant à identifier les facteurs de risque et de déclenchement de l’épidémie, les scénarios pour la prévention, les études séro-épidémiologiques mises en place, la communication sur le risque en période de crise, et la perception du risque par la population et ses comportements.

Clinical Kidney, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation (Coursera)

Kidney transplantation is a major advance of modern medicine which provides high-quality of life for patients with end-stage renal disease. What used to be an experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option more than 50 years ago is now routinely performed in many countries worldwide. The number of renal transplants is expected to rise sharply in the next decade since the proportion of patients with end stage renal disease is increasing.

Medical Neuroscience (Coursera)

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.
