  • MIQ 16: Qualitätsstandards in der mikrobiologisch-infektiologischen Diagnostik

    Syphilis
    • 2nd Edition
    • German
    Im Jahr 1906 beschrieb August von Wassermann eine Methode, mit der Antikörper gegen den Syphilis-Erreger im Blut nachgewiesen werden konnten. Der Begriff „Wassermann-positiv“ wurde bald ein Synonym für die Diagnose Syphilis. Das hat sich bis heute kaum geändert, obwohl für den serologischen Syphilis-Nachweis die „WaR“ durch moderne immunologische Verfahren ersetzt worden ist.Die Neuauflage der MiQ 16 Syphilis wurde notwendig, um der Weiterentwicklung der Testverfahren zur Labordiagnose der Syphilis Rechnung zu tragen. Dabei wurde die neueste AWMF-Leitlinie ""Diagnostik und Therapie der Syphilis"" der Deutschen STD-Gesellschaft berücksichtigt.

  • Reeducación postural global

    • 1st Edition

    • Spanish
    La "Reeducación Postural Global" (RPG) es un concepto elaborado y promovido desde hace más de treinta años por Philippe Souchard, quien en esta obra propone un manual completo y exhaustivo de su método, tanto desde el punto de vista de sus fundamentos como de su puesta en práctica. Este manual es el resultado de treinta años de evolución del método RPG. El autor hace un repaso de la fisiología y de la fisiopatología de la función muscular estática, y añade avances en biomecánica, fruto de su observación y estudio. El trabajo de síntesis reunido en este libro permite identificar claramente la responsabilidad de la retracción muscular en las patologías músculo-esqueléticas... ya sean morfológicas o lesiónales, y propone un tratamiento original de las disfunciones musculares. Tras una primera parte dedicada a los fundamentos fisiológicos de los músculos estáticos y los mecanismos del equilibrio, el autor expone la metodología propiamente dicha: los principios del tratamiento (alargamiento de los músculos, puesta en tensión) y las reglas de aplicación terapéutica. Al final de la obra, se exponen algunas secuencias de auto-postura preventiva, dirigidas a la propia educación del paciente. La obra está dirigida a fisioterapeutas, kinesioterapeutas y todos aquellos profesionales que aplican terapias manuales.
