      ‘Sometimes called coining, spooning or scraping, Gua sha is defined as instrument-assisted unidirectional press stroking of a lubricated area of the body surface that intentionally creates ‘transitory therapeutic petechiae’ representing extravasation of blood in the subcutis.’ Gua sha has been used for centuries in Asia, in Asian immigrant communities and by acupuncturists and practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine worldwide. With the expansion of traditional East Asian medicine, Gua sha has been used over broad geographic areas and by millions of people. It is valuable in the treatment of pain and for functional problems with impaired movement, the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many acute or chronic disorders. Research has demonstrated Gua sha radically increases surface microperfusion that stimulates immune and anti-inflammatory responses that persist for days after treatment. The second edition expands on the history of Gua sha and similar techniques used in early Western Medicine, detailing traditional theory, purpose and application and illuminated by science that focuses its relevance to modern clinical practice as well as scholarly inquiry. This book brings the technique alive for practitioners, with clear discussion of how to do it –including correct technique, appropriate application, individualization of treatment – and when to use it, with over 50 case examples, and superb color photographs and line drawings that demonstrate the technique.

      Le présent ouvrage constitue à la fois une référence et un outil de travail précieux. Il propose une approche par pathologies classées par systèmes, selon un plan précis : les généralités, les critères de choix et la stratégie thérapeutique, l'optimisation thérapeutique, « ce qu'il faut retenir » et des études de cas cliniques pour l'application des connaissances. Les généralités regroupent la physiopathologie et les médicaments utilisés dans la pathologie. Les critères de choix et la stratégie thérapeutique sont développés en fonction de la sévérité de la pathologie, du terrain et des éventuels traitements associés. L'optimisation thérapeutique concerne les posologies, l'administration (voie d'administration, conseils, incompatibilités) les mises en garde, les précautions d'emploi et la prévention de l'iatropathologie (prévention des risques majeurs et des effets indésirables). L'encadré « Ce qu'il faut retenir » expose l'essentiel du chapitre et en permet une révision générale. Enfin, un ou plusieurs cas cliniques accompagnés de questions générales ou à choix multiples sont traités. Les réponses sont accompagnées de commentaires, reprenant les points importants du chapitre. Avec ses nombreux tableaux, ses études de cas cliniques conformes aux dossiers biologiques et thérapeutiques des épreuves de l'internat de pharmacie, cet ouvrage constitue l'outil de travail indispensable pour les étudiants de pharmacie. Il constitue un guide thérapeutique pour les pharmaciens hospitaliers et d'officine, qui trouvent là un ouvrage essentiel pour les accompagner dans leur exercice quotidien. Les médecins pourront également y trouver de précieux renseignements sur l'utilisation optimale des médicaments. Cette 4e édition a été entièrement revue, corrigée et actualisée en particulier concernant les chapitres suivants : sida, traitements du diabète, polyarthrite rhumatoïde, anomalie de la coagulation, ostéoporose, hépatites virales, transplantation, dermatologie, pathologies cardio-vasculaires, insuffisance cardiaque, schizophrénie, nausées et vomissements, la dysthyroïdie, la prostate, l'insuffisance respiratoire chronique, l'eczéma. Des cas cliniques actualisés ou nouveaux ont été introduits, avec des médicaments récents. Les références bibliographiques ont été enrichies. Cette édition est en conformité avec les recommandations figurant dans les résolutions européennes. Écrit par l'Association nationale des enseignants de pharmacie clinique (ANEPC), cet ouvrage est le fruit du travail d'auteurs français, québécois, et quelques pharmaciens praticiens hospitaliers francophones (Belges, Libanais, Tunisiens), et associe, pour un grand nombre de chapitres, un médecin référent dans la pathologie concernée à un (des) pharmacien(s) hospitalier(s) et/ou universitaire(s).
