      Essential Musculoskeletal MRI is a clinically based manual written by experts in both musculoskeletal MRI and musculoskeletal medicine. It explains when and why patients should be referred for this type of imaging and is an essential purchase for any student or clinician wishing to hone their MRI reading skills and to interpret their findings in conjunction with patient symptoms. The book assumes no previous knowledge of diagnostic imaging and covers the appearance of normal anatomy under MRI, as well as the radiological features of the most commonly encountered regional pathologies, with emphasis on those with musculoskeletal relevance. The content is regionally organised, rather than driven by pathology, and the focus is clearly on clinical application. Worked clinical examples develop diagnostic thinking and the numerous images help clinicians to recognise patterns.

    • Cadre de santé de proximité

      Il est bien des façons d'exercer le métier de cadre de santé et, dès lors, d'orienter la pratique que recouvre une telle appellation. Si la nécessité d'une performance gestionnaire et managériale est souvent mise en avant et ne fait, d'ailleurs, pas de doute, celle de la pertinence humaine des actions et de leur organisation ne peut être laissée dans l'ombre. C'est au nom de cette pertinence de la pratique quotidienne des soins et de la nécessité de bien traiter l'humain – tant celui à qui se destinent les soins que celui qui a pour métier d'en donner – que l'auteur a choisi de réfléchir dans ce livre à toute l'importance de la fonction de cadre de santé de proximité. En effet, bien traiter l'humain malade ou dépendant ne saurait se limiter à bien faire tout ce qu'il y a à faire : l'humain n'est pas réductible aux soins qu'il requiert et ne se confond pas avec l'excellence des pratiques qui lui sont destinées. C'est d'une complexité singulière dont il est question et de la capacité que l'on a individuellement et collectivement d'accueillir cette singularité, capacité qui témoigne de la considération que l'on a pour cet autre malade ou dépendant et qui vit, d'une manière qui lui est particulière, ce qu'il a à vivre lorsque la maladie surgit ou lorsque la dépendance modifie le cours de son existence. Prendre en compte cette complexité singulière requiert de fonder la pratique des soins sur une intelligence du singulier qui, seule, permet aux professionnels de se révéler compétents en une situation donnée et d'exprimer leur préoccupation d'une éthique du quotidien des soins. Déployer une telle intelligence du singulier ne va pas de soi, y compris pour les plus qualifiés et expérimentés des professionnels. C'est parce que cela ne va pas de soi que les équipes ont besoin d'être soutenues, encadrées et accompagnées grâce à la présence, au coeur du soin, d'un cadre de santé de proximité et grâce à l'autorité aidante et bienfaisante qu'il peut ainsi exprimer.

      Managing the Injured Athlete is an innovative clinically-focused pocketbook which aims to support the clinician out in the field, helping answer clinical queries and solve problems when there may be nothing else to refer to. It focuses on developing the clinician’s clinical reasoning skills, recognizing that patterns of clinical presentation are the key to problem-solving and formulating a diagnosis. As well as covering assessment, treatment and rehabilitation, the experienced authors discuss the clinician’s role within a team, athlete confidentiality, travelling with athletes, drugs and doping issues, working in different climates and return to play considerations. Throughout the pocketbook patterns of positive findings are given as a key to indicate how frequently clinicians can expect to come across certain subjective and objective markers for a given condition.

      Véritable initiation à la médecine homéopathique, cet ouvrage pratique apporte la rigueur indispensable qu'exige cette discipline. Cette 3e édition, revue et actualisée, tient compte des derniers développements de cette discipline médicale et du contexte sanitaire actuel. Elle permet à tous, étudiants et professionnels de santé, de trouver des réponses pour l'application de la similitude clinique en thérapeutique. Après une présentation de l'histoire et des principes de l'homéopathie, l'ouvrage présente la pharmacologie puis décrit les principaux médicaments. Il trace ensuite une problématique de la prescription et propose une démarche argumentée lors de manifestations cliniques fréquentes. Enfin s'agissant de la recherche scientifique et des questions légitimes que posent l'homéopathie et l'utilisation des hautes dilutions à la communauté scientifique et au public, Bernard Poitevin fournit une réponse documentée et actualisée.
