    La chirurgie de la main et des nerfs périphériques est un domaine spécialisé de la chirurgie reconstructrice de l'appareil locomoteur, sans pour autant n'être qu'une affaire de spécialistes : tout médecin peut y être confronté que ce soit durant ou après sa formation. Cet ouvrage se veut un outil de consultation et de communication entre les uns et les autres. Ce volume est consacré au diagnostic et à la chirurgie des séquelles post-traumatiques, des maladies et des malformations de la main et du poignet. L'idée directrice est d'orienter au mieux le médecin de premier recours sur les possibilités thérapeutiques des pathologies fréquentes et celles moins courantes qu'il peut être initialement amené à prendre en charge. Un autre volume, complément indispensable, et consacré aux urgences, a pour objectif d'orienter l'interne ou le praticien non spécialiste face aux situations courantes rencontrées en urgence, qu'elles soient absolues, relatives ou différées. De la classification des lésions à leur traitement, les chapitres structurés et allant à l'essentiel sont illustrés d'exemples cliniques et de schémas pour une prise en charge rapide et efficace.

    This Otolaryngologic Clinics' publication’s intent is to provide standard and state of the art clinician performed thyroid ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNA technique. The subject area is evolving rapidly with new technologies being incorporated. This title integrates thyroid cytology, FNA and Ultrasound Guided FNA with inclusion of diagnostic molecular testing. Clinical Thyroid Molecular Testing has ushered in a new era to the diagnosis, management and prognostication of thyroid nodules. The discussion of this highly clinically applicable subject is described in terms of diagnostic process. This is a thyroid neoplasm clinical “game changer” for the General Otolaryngologist, Head and Neck Surgeon, General Surgeon, Endocrinologist, Pathologist, and Radiologist. This testing maximizes the number of patients who have cancer to receive the correct therapeutic surgery appropriately and minimizes the number of patients who do not need surgery (and avoid the potential complications and surgery) because they do not have cancer. Surgical management and prognostication have far reaching implications with fine needle aspiration driven molecular markers. Some topics include: Clinical evaluation of the thyroid nodule; Thyroid cytology; Clinician performed thyroid ultrasound; Clinician performed thyroid ultrasound guided FNA; Thyroid cancer molecular laterations - what the surgeon should know; Thyroid cancer multi-gene expression - what the surgeon needs to know; Incorporating molecular testing into your thyroid practice - five experts discuss; and others.

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 47-2
    • Howard Levine
    • English
    Patients present to physicians with headache or facial pain and are certain that it is a “sinus headache.” Specialists of all types - otolaryngologists, allergists, neurologists, internists, and emergency physicians are confronted almost daily with these patients. “Headache in Otolaryngology: Rhinogenic and Beyond” describes headaches ascribed to other causes - migraine as well as headaches that actually are a result of sinusitis. This volume addresses the need for expertise of an otolaryngologist who can obtain a history of nasal and sinus disease, evaluate the interior of the nose, and correlate it to a computed tomographic (CT) scan, along with collaboration of neurologists/headach... specialists. Because headaches are often a symptom of potentially dangerous medical conditions that may need emergency work-up and referral to the appropriate physician, information in this volume identifies these emergency conditions for the clinician. Topics include: Confusion about sinus headache; Diagnosing Adult and Pediatric Headache; Imaging for the headache patient; TMJ head pain; Signs of dangerous headache; Vertiginous headache; Rhinogenic headache; Medical treatment of headache; and Surgery for headache.
