Les syndromes douloureux atypiques peuvent être rencontrés dans l'exercice quotidien de chaque praticien, car tous les appareils peuvent être concernés. Souvent mal connus et de diagnostic retardé, ils sont alors à l'origine d'une multiplication de consultations et d'examens dont une grande partie peut s'avérer inutile. Dans cette 2e édition, l'auteur, anesthésiste et spécialiste de la douleur, a répertorié 30 nouveaux syndromes et largement enrichi l'iconographie. Outre les dessins très explicites, plus de 100 clichés radiographiques, coupes de scanner et d'IRM viennent améliorer la compréhension de la genèse du syndrome douloureux et souligner l'importance de l'imagerie pour les diagnostics différentiels. La description clinique, claire et détaillée, s'appuie sur une iconographie très parlante qui évoque immédiatement au lecteur le type de tableau douloureux. Ce guide permettra d'identifier clairement des plaintes restées jusque-là sans explication satisfaisante et sera d'une grande aide au quotidien de chaque praticien, en médecine interne ou de spécialité. Chaque syndrome est présenté selon un schéma-type très didactique, qui facilite la consultation : - signes et symptômes ; - examens complémentaires ; - diagnostics différentiels ; - traitement ; - complications et pièges à éviter ; - conseils cliniques.

The understanding of hemostasis physiology has been considerably advanced by models of kinetics and by the complicated interplay of cells and soluble coagulation factors. How this physiology is currently, or will eventually, be reflected in clinical laboratory testing is the subject of this monograph; this information is key for laboratorians to implement physiologic concepts into practical data and for clinicians to understand the basis of and therefore correctly treat hemostatic disease. Many thousands of patients present with bleeding disorders or bleeding complications of other diseases, and millions of individuals suffer the morbidity and mortality of thromboembolic complications. How laboratory testing confronts the challenge of predicting different hemostatic risks and guiding therapy is the critical subtext of the chapters in this monograph. New developments in hemostasis physiology have identified thrombin as an important, if not central, coordinator of hemostatic function and thus a target for measurement to assess hemostatic function and risk. Whether such measurements as endogenous thrombin potential or thromboelastography will accurately predict and/or quantitate global hemostatic function is an important question. Modeling the clinical risks of bleeding or thromboembolism currently uses the laboratory presence or absence of particular risk factors, but our clinical understanding of risk appears to more closely approximate a dynamic model, even within individual patients. Therefore, testing for platelet dysfunction or comprehending the functional implications of a lupus anticoagulant may rely on our evolving comprehension of hemostasis phyisology and perhaps require more sophisticated interpretation of clinical predictors of hemostatic risk. This monograph aims to shed some light in these areas and promote investigation of such key hemostasis issues.
