    • Jean-Louis Schlienger
    • French
    La diététique est aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, une branche majeure de la thérapeutique. Confortée par les avancées physiopathologiques, les enquêtes épidémiologiques et les études d'intervention randomisées, la diététique va de pair avec l'arme pharmacologique dont elle en consolide les actions et permet parfois même d'en différer la mise en oeuvre. La diététique a une place privilégiée en prévention primaire, participe du traitement de nombreuses maladies, et en est parfois le traitement exclusif comme dans certaines maladies innées du métabolisme ou de la maladie coeliaque. Cependant, le recours à la diététique est souvent contraint par la lenteur et la difficulté de sa prescription qui fait appel à des connaissances spécifiques. Ce manuel de diététique a pour objectif de mettre à la portée des médecins de tous horizons et des diététicien(ne)s l'argumentaire et les clefs permettant l'élaboration d'une intervention diététique efficace et pertinente. Des fiches diététiques pour les prescripteurs facilitent l'applicabilité du régime décrit dans chaque situation, qu'il s'agisse de l'équilibre alimentaire, des maladies métaboliques, digestives, cardio-vasculaires, rénales, du cancer ou des intolérances alimentaires et des allergies.

  • Current Concepts in Neonatal Nutrition, An Issue of Clinics in Perinatology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 41-2
    • Brenda Poindexter
    • English
    Over the past several decades, advances in neonatal nutrition have focused on the provision of early parenteral nutrition and the development of formulas and supplements that most closely approximate maternal breast milk. The overall outcomes for infants, including premature infants, have greatly benefited from these advances, but there are still many nutritional unknowns that impact the lives of neonates. This is an exciting time in neonatal nutrition as the focus has shifted from survival and growth, which are still important goals, to effects of each micro/macronutrient on development, prevention of disease states such as ROP, the effects of neonatal nutrition on future health as an adult, and opportunities to improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes by optimal early nutrition. This issue focuses on aspects of enteral and parenteral nutrition that are at the forefront of neonatal care: assessing growth, parenteral nutrition components (including alternate lipid formulations), optimal storage and use of human milk (including donor milk), post-discharge nutrition, and the effects of various micro/macronutrients on long-term developmental outcomes. It is anticipated that the study and implementation of many of these novel concepts into the care of neonates, many of whom are severely premature, will be of value to practitioners, researchers, and, most of all, patients.

    La relation d'aide est au cœur des pratiques soignantes puisqu'elle s'inscrit dans la relation soignant-soigné, et pour les infirmières, dans le cadre de leur rôle autonome. Toutefois, elle ne s'improvise pas ni ne se résume en recettes. En effet, la relation d'aide fait appel à des connaissances et des compétences multiples et délicates. Il est ainsi difficile de la définir et de dégager un savoir-faire relationnel. Cet ouvrage, issu de groupes de travail du Collège des acteurs en soins infirmiers de la SFAP, permet de clarifier ce qu'est la relation d'aide en soins infirmiers en en exposant tout d'abord les cadres réglementaires et conceptuels pour dégager ensuite une définition. Il livre les clés d'une relation d'aide infirmière en insistant sur : la formation, le développement personnel, la compétence et la dimension éthique. Les auteurs définissent également les attentes de la personne soignée, les conditions d'exercice de cette relation d'aide en exposant concrètement ce qui la constitue, mais aussi ses limites et ce qu'elle n'est pas, dégageant ainsi ce qui est spécifique au rôle infirmier. La progression du livre est animée de très nombreux cas cliniques qui donnent à cette thématique une dimension clinique et concrète indispensable, abordant des situations de soins diverses à l'hôpital, en institution de long séjour, à domicile ou encore en milieu scolaire. Un dernier chapitre met enfin l'accent sur les valeurs communes des membres de l'équipe soignante en soulignant l'interdisciplinarit... à l'œuvre dans la prise en charge de la personne malade. Cette nouvelle édition actualisée apporte un éclairage sur le développement professionnel continu et le nouveau référentiel de formation initiale où l'enseignement du soin relationnel se trouve conforté.

  • Neuropsychologie

    • French
    Cet ouvrage pédagogique, à destination des étudiants et des professionnels de santé, permet aux lecteurs d'acquérir des connaissances de base tant anatomiques que physiologiques sur le cerveau. Il offre aussi la possibilité de retracer les principaux désordres cognitifs, émotionnels et comportementaux, sans oublier les troubles de la personnalité, provoqués par les lésions cérébrales. Cette 6e édition est remise à jour et actualisée dans son ensemble ; elle s'enrichit d'un nouveau chapitre sur la neuropsychologie du vieillissement normal. Par ailleurs, les nouvelles avancées médicales, comme la neurochirurgie « en condition éveillée », ont permis de revisiter un certain nombre de concepts (dont la neuroplasticité et l'organisation fonctionnelle du cerveau), qui sont abordés dans les chapitres concernés. De nouveaux schémas ont été ajoutés pour permettre de visualiser les faisceaux d'association dont la chirurgie éveillée a révélé l'importance.

  • Le développement psychique précoce

    De la conception au langage
    • 1st Edition
    • Bernard Golse + 2 more
    • French
    Depuis les années cinquante, et avec la prise de conscience des souffrances endurées par les bébés lors de la guerre, la connaissance que nous avons du fonctionnement psychique durant les premiers âges de la vie est un objet d'approfondissement permanent. À travers l'observation psychique et scientifique du fœtus, du nourrisson, puis du jeune enfant, ce sont les fondements de la psyché que l'on s'efforce de dévoiler. C'est donc une discipline en constante évolution, dynamique et interactive que nous proposent de découvrir ici Bernard Golse et Marie Rose Moro, à travers différentes approches : psychanalytique, transculturelle et biologique. Cet ouvrage collectif nous permet de pénétrer au cœur des fondements originels de l'individu tout en gardant en vue l'intrication des questions de société qui lui sont intimement liées. Il nous invite ainsi à découvrir par quels processus la plupart des bébés parviennent à mettre en place avec succès des mécanismes aussi compliqués que ceux qui vont le mener à l'intersubjectivité, à la subjectivation et aux fondements de la communication. Cet ouvrage s'appuie sur le programme du DU de psychopathologie du bébé à Paris-13 (créé par S. Lebovici) et sur celui du DU de psychiatrie du bébé à Paris-5 (créé par M. Soulé). Il tient compte des recherches actuelles menées sur le fœtus et des perspectives théoriques et cliniques du programme de recherche PILE (Programme international pour le langage de l'enfant, dirigé par B. Golse à Necker) portant sur la construction et l'émergence de la parole chez l'enfant.

  • Endocrinologie, diabète, métabolisme et nutrition pour le praticien

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Louis Wémeau + 2 more
    • French
    Le médecin généraliste est appelé à gérer des situations cliniques qui autrefois relevaient du spécialiste. La fréquence des maladies de la thyroïde, de l'obésité et du diabète, la sensibilisation de la population aux aspects nutritionnels, l'accès des patients via Internet à des informations pointues sur les maladies, créent un large champ d'activité nécessitant un référentiel. Cet ouvrage de la collection Pour le Praticien propose un regard de clinicien sur la gestion des tumeurs et dysfonctions de l'hypophyse, de la thyroïde, des parathyroïdes, des surrénales, des gonades, des polyendocrinopathies tumorales ou auto-immunes. Le diabète sucré affecte 4% de la population et constitue un problème de santé publique. La prise en charge de la maladie, des situations d'urgence et la prévention des complications sur le long cours dans une alliance thérapeutique avec le patient sont décrites. Des informations sur la nutrition, le métabolisme apparaissent des compléments indispensables au moment où les prises en charge non-médicamenteuses, l'éducation thérapeutique et la prévention sont privilégiées. Le livre est le fruit de l'expérience de trois cliniciens des universités de Lille, Marseille et Strasbourg, aux compétences complémentaires. Des chapitres d'endocrinologie et de diabétologie pédiatriques, confiés au docteur Jacques Weill et au professeur Rachel Reynaud, ont été rédigés dans le même esprit. Cet ouvrage est avant tout destiné à la pratique des médecins généralistes mais il constitue aussi un outil précieux pour les étudiants dans la préparation de leurs examens, pour les internes et spécialistes médicaux et chirurgicaux de toutes disciplines, nécessairement confrontés à des interrogations sur le diabète, les maladies endocriniennes, métaboliques et nutritionnelles.

  • Échographie en pratique obstétricale

    • 5th Edition
    • Philippe Bourgeot + 4 more
    • French
    Cette cinquième édition présente une mise à jour complète du manuel d'échographie en pratique obstétricale. Plus que jamais, l'obstétrique moderne est devenue une obstétrique échographique. La mise à jour a comporté la refonte d'une partie du texte ainsi qu'une augmentation avec un volume de près de 700 pages. L'iconographie a également bénéficié d'une modernisation et elle a été complétée dans tous les chapitres (2000 images). Texte et images se retrouvent dans l'édition numérique associée (avec une quarantaine de vidéos) permettant à la fois une navigation instantanée dans l'ensemble de l'ouvrage et une consultation ubiquitaire. Le plan reste classique : les aspects techniques et réglementaires de l'échographie pendant la grossesse, l'utérus gravide et les ovaires, le début de la grossesse (développement embryonnaire, datation, pathologie et GEU), le placenta et les annexes du foetus, l'examen du foetus normal, la surveillance de la croissance et de la vitalité foetale, la pathologie malformative (huit chapitres), les anomalies chromosomiques, les infections foetales et les grossesses multiples. Certains points ont fait l'objet de développements plus importants en raison de leur position critique dans la pratique actuelle : les aspects réglementaires de l'examen et de son compte rendu, les recommandations et les bonnes pratiques (françaises mais aussi étrangères), l'usage du Doppler et l'étude du col utérin, et surtout le dépistage des anomalies chromosomiques (trisomie 21 en particulier) qui, à tort ou à raison, focalise une grande partie du diagnostic anténatal et donc de l'échographie. L'ambition et l'esprit de ce manuel restent les mêmes qu'il y a vingt-cinq ans : un bon manuel de radiologie pour les accoucheurs (-euses) et un bon livre d'obstétrique pour les radiologues. C'est le résultat d'une confrontation amicale, synthèse et compromis, entre les deux spécialités, mais aussi entre le praticien de terrain (l'urgence clinique, le travail de nuit, la salle d'attente pleine …) et le théoricien rigoureux, les deux personnages étant souvent confondus au sein de chaque auteur.

  • Topographie cornéenne

    • 2nd Edition
    • Damien Gatinel
    • French
    La topographie cornéenne permet de recueillir des informations relatives à la courbure, à la régularité et à l'épaisseur de la cornée, grâce à la projection et à l'analyse du reflet d'un motif lumineux éclairant ou balayant la cornée. La représentation graphique de ces informations se traduit sous forme de cartes interprétées par le praticien. Cette technique de mesure permet d'étudier en détail la géométrie de la cornée et d'apprécier l'effet de certaines pathologies sur le relief cornéen. Examen indispensable avant toute chirurgie réfractive, la topographie cornéenne complète utilement le bilan préopératoire en chirurgie de la cataracte et du segment antérieur de l'œil. Cet ouvrage décrit les techniques de mesure topographique (terminologie, principes optiques, instruments, bases physiques) et propose une analyse des cartes obtenues pour une interprétation en pratique. L'iconographie de cette nouvelle édition a été actualisée et de nombreux points ont été ajoutés ou développés, notamment : - le dépistage topographique des formes infracliniques débutantes de kératocône : revue des nouveaux indices de détection automatisée ; - les applications de la topographie cornéenne en chirurgie de la cataracte : estimation de la puissance optique de la cornée pour la biométrie et le calcul d'implant, étude de l'astigmatisme cornéen, bilan avant implantation multifocale ; - l'étude de la qualité optique de la cornée : analyses topographiques et fonctionnelles de cornées asymétriques et irrégulières; - l'étude approfondie des axes et angles oculaires. Cet ouvrage répond à l'essentiel des situations cliniques et constitue un outil indispensable à l'attention des ophtalmologistes, des orthoptistes et des opticiens.
