    In this issue the Guest Editors provide a contemporary look at the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, treatment and outcomes for neonatal-perinatal infections. Contributors include neonatologists, infectious disease, and critical care specialists with a wide variety of research interests in this arena. Readers will be exposed to the latest information on dosing of antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals.

There is an extensive examination of infectious processes that commonly present in infants including meningitis, bloodstream infections, and urinary tract infections. Additional topics include infectious processes affecting the newborn (chorioamnionitis and TORCH infections) and premature infants (necrotizing enterocolitis). Specific pathogens are highlighted in articles on HSV, CMV/VZV, staphylococcal species, and Candida. Finally, the rationale for the most recent changes to guidelines for initiating therapy for early-onset neonatal sepsis are reviewed.

    • Volume 44-1
    • Henry P. Parkman
    • English
    This issue will be an informative treatise on gastroparesis, a symptomatic chronic disorder of the stomach characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Gastroparesis is an increasingly recognized and diagnosed disorder. Treatment can be challenging due to several mechanisms which play a role in causing the symptoms. Symptoms of gastroparesis are variable and include early satiety, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and upper abdominal discomfort. These symptoms can range from mild to severe leading to such complications as malnutrition, functional disability, and multiple hospitalizations. The three most common etiologies are diabetes, post-surgical, and idiopathic (unknown). Treatment consists of dietary manipulation, medical, and surgical therapy. The articles will provide a comprehensive review and in-depth information on gastroparesis. Each chapter will be written by an expert in the area. This issue will give the reader a better appreciation for the breadth of gastroparesis.

  • Urgences des nouveaux animaux de compagnie

    Mammifères - Oiseaux - Reptiles
    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-François Quinton
    • French
    L'augmentation du nombre de nouveaux animaux de compagnie (NAC) et la fréquente inadaptation des conditions de vie dans lesquels les propriétaires maintiennent ces animaux engendrent une augmentation des urgences vitales en cabinet vétérinaire. Fondé sur l'expérience pratique et didactique des auteurs, qui soignent exclusivement des NAC depuis de nombreuses années, cet ouvrage donne les clés d'une prise en charge complète et adaptée à chaque espèce. Après avoir rappelé le matériel nécessaire à la gestion de situations d'urgence chez ces animaux, une première partie fait le point sur les gestes techniques incontournables (contention, réchauffement, réhydratation, réanimation, injections, etc.) et les spécificités propres à chaque espèce, avec une distinction nette entre les mammifères, les oiseaux et les reptiles. Puis une seconde partie, scindée en quatre sections (petits mammifères herbivores, furet, oiseaux et reptiles) traite des situations cliniques les plus fréquemment rencontrées pour une espèce donnée suivant un plan systématique (définition et épidémiologie, terrain, signes d'appel, signes cliniques, diagnostics différentiels, pronostic, prise en charge). De nombreux encadrés rappellent les erreurs à ne pas commettre et délivrent conseils et astuces. Chaque situation se clôt sur les instructions à donner au propriétaire pour accompagner la guérison de son animal et éviter qu'une nouvelle situation d'urgence ne se reproduise. Des fiches posologiques des médicaments les plus utilisés chez les NAC et des tableaux de constantes en annexes complètent cet ouvrage. Destiné aussi bien au praticien confirmé qu'à l'étudiant vétérinaire, cet ouvrage de référence, richement illustré de photographies en situation et de radiographies, est un incontournable pour la formation initiale et la prise en charge quotidienne des urgences en cabinet vétérinaire.

  • Psychopathologie générale des âges de la vie

    • Daniel Marcelli + 1 more
    • French
    Chaque âge de la vie présente ses spécificités : le fonctionnement psychique n'y échappe pas. Du nourrisson au sujet âgé, la psychopathologie ne peut se comprendre en fonction d'un même paramètre. L'interaction et l'intrication des modèles de compréhension, qu'ils soient physiologiques, sociologiques,psycha... cognitifs et éducatifs sont la règle en pratique clinique. La collection Les âges de la vie dirigée par Daniel Marcelli propose une approche complète, nosologique, clinique, thérapeutique et socio-économique des problèmes psychopathologiques propres aux différents âges de la vie. L'ouvrage Quel est l'avenir de la psychopathologie ? Et d'abord, qu'est-ce que la psychopathologie ? Classiquement définie comme l'étude des états pathologiques du fonctionnement psychique, elle comprend également l'étude des aménagements psychiques consécutifs aux diverses étapes de la vie, mais aussi aux multiples conditions externes telles que les maladies graves ou chroniques, les événements négatifs affectant ce psychisme ou toute contrainte extérieure poussant le fonctionnement psychique dans ses retranchements. Cet ouvrage collectif offre les bases indispensables à la compréhension du normal et du pathologique en abordant les grandes entités psychopathologiques que sont la clinique de l'enfant, de l'adolescent et de l'adulte corrélées aux principales méthodes de soin. Il s'appuie sur les données scientifiques récentes ainsi que sur les progrès réalisés par les neurosciences. Ce livre expose ainsi la diversité des approches et des théories qui tentent de rendre compte du fonctionnement du psychisme humain, qu'il soit normal ou pathologique.

  • Stress in Health and Disease, An Issue of Psychiatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 37-4
    • Daniel L. Kirsch
    • English
    Stress in the DSM is referred to only in the sense of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, some research studies estimate up to two thirds of illnesses seen by general practitioners are ‘stress related’–GI problems, sleep disturbance, mental concentration, headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, dermatitis, illnesses from lowered immune system, and vague aches and pains – all can be symptoms and outcomes of the elusive stress factor. This issue of Psychiatric Clinics of North America discusses the scientific medical facets of stress, written by mental health and medical practitioners. It looks at the brain-body connection of stress – what the body does to result in stress and varying results stress has on the body. This fascinating cross-discipline look at stress is intended for psychiatrists, general practitioners, cardiologists, GI specialists, neurologists, sleep medicine specialists, respiratory specialists, and others who diagnose and treat patients with stress suspected as part of the illness equation or with self-reported stress. Topics include: Measurement of stress; Anxiety and stress-how they work together; Relationship between genetics and stress; Role of glia in stress; Sleep and stress; Diet and stress; Supplements and stress; Effect of severe stress on early brain development, attachment, and emotions; Role of stress and fear on the development of psychopathology; Expressions of stress in psychiatric illness; Dermatologic manifestations of stress in normal and psychiatric populations; Humor and the psychological buffers of stress; Stress expression in children and adolescents; Stress in service members; Stress in the geriatric population.
