-The use of anthelmintics is strongly limited in organic farming. This may induce a change in the intensity (no of worms) and diversity (proportions of species) of helminth infection. Helminths remain a major preoccupation in organic sheep farming: high levels of infection have been recorded on several farms and helminth diversity is always higher. The helminth infection in milk cattle of northern Europe is controlled and diversity is higher in organic farms, as recorded in sheep. The role of helminth diversity on intensity is still unclear. Grazing management is one of the means to controlling helminths. The use of safe pastures for calves and sheep after weaning is one of the major components of control. The use of alternate or mixed grazing is common for cattle in northern countries but is uncommon for sheep in France. Grazing management is not sufficient to controlling infection in sheep and conventional anthelmintic treatments are performed. Additionally, alternative treatments are used. The alternative therapies based on phytotherapy or homeopathy are largely recommended in organic farming but do not have any demonstrated efficacy. More research is needed to evaluate such therapies. ruminant organic farm / helminth / grazing management / anthelmintic / phytotherapyRésumé -Gestion des helminthes de ruminants en agriculture biologique. L'emploi des anthelminthiques est fortement limité en élevage biologique. Cette diminution de leur utilisation peut conduire à des changements en ce qui concerne l'intensité (nombre de vers) et la diversité (proportion des espèces) des parasites. Les helminthes sont une préoccupation majeure en élevage biologique ovin : les infestations sont très fortes dans certaines fermes et la diversité est plus élevée que dans les élevages conventionnels. L'infestation des bovins laitiers par les helminthes dans les pays du nord de l'Europe est assez bien contrôlée et la diversité est plus forte également en élevage biologique. Le rôle de la diversité sur l'intensité n'est pas encore clair. La gestion des pâturages est l'un des moyens de contrôler l'infestation. L'utilisation de pâtures saines pour les veaux ou les agneaux après le sevrage est l'une des composantes essentielles de la gestion des parasites. L'utilisation de pâturage alterné ou mixte avec des espèces différentes est commun dans les régions nordiques pour les bovins mais n'est 625

P Pu ur rp po os se e: : In a previous study we noticed that P6 acupressure decreased postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) more markedly after discharge. As motion sickness susceptibility is increased by, for example, opioids we hypothesized that P6 acupressure decreased PONV by decreasing motion sickness susceptibility. We studied time to nausea by a laboratory motion challenge in a group of volunteers, during P6 and placebo acupressure.M Me et th ho od ds s: : 60 women with high and low susceptibilities for motion sickness participated in a randomized and double-blind study with an active P6 acupressure, placebo acupressure, and a control group (n = 20 in each group). The risk score for PONV was over 50%. The motion challenge was by eccentric rotation in a chair, blindfolded and with chin to chest movements of the head. The challenge was stopped when women reported moderate nausea. Symptoms were recorded. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : Mean time to moderate nausea was longer in the P6 acupressure group compared to the control group. P6 acupressure = 352 (259-445), mean (95% confidence interval) in seconds, control = 151 (121-181) and placebo acupressure = 280 (161-340); (P = 0.006). No difference was found between P6 and placebo acupressure or placebo acupressure and control groups. Previous severity of motion sickness did not influence time to nausea (P = 0.107). The cumulative number of symptoms differed between the three groups (P < 0.05). Fewer symptoms were reported in the P6 acupressure compared to the control group P < 0.009. Overall, P6 acupressure was only marginally more effective than placebo acupressure on the forearms. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : In females with a history of motion sickness P6 acupressure increased tolerance to experimental nauseogenic stimuli, and reduced the total number of symptoms reported. OSTOPERATIVE nausea and vomiting (PONV) can be exacerbated by movement such as transport on a trolley, change in position in bed and, after day-case surgery, transport home or activity at home. Objectif1 A history of motion sickness is also an independent predictor of PONV.2 Recent evidence suggests that P6 acupressure may decrease symptoms of motion sickness, 3 and that these effects may be particularly beneficial after day case surgery. 4,5 Could it be that P6 stimulation is mainly effective on movement-induced nausea?The main signs and symptoms of motion sickness are nausea, pallor, cold sweating, and vomiting. However, many other symptoms of motion sickness are reported to varying degrees. These include apathy, general discomfort, headache, stomach awareness, increased salivation, fatigue, drowsiness, depression, warmth, dizziness, yawning, cardiac palpitations, and inability to concentrate or perform tasks. 6,7 We hypothesized that women at high risk for PONV would benefit from P6 acupressure administered prior to nauseogenic stimuli. The primary outcome was the time to moderate nausea (3 or more on a Lickert type scale 0-6) provoked by head movements in an eccentrically rotating c...
