  • Manipulations vasculaires viscérales

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Pierre Barral + 1 more
    • French
    Cet ouvrage présente une approche novatrice et inexplorée de l'ostéopathie viscérale. En effet, Jean-Pierre Barral et Alain Croibier proposent, en se basant sur l'anatomie et la physiologie, de manipuler les artères pour influer sur les viscères et les organes en augmentant l'irrigation de ceux-ci. Les artères, de par leur structure élastique et musculaire et les innombrables filets nerveux qui les entourent, réagissent parfaitement aux sollicitations manuelles. Pour être efficaces, ces dernières se doivent cependant d'être précises et ajustées. Les auteurs, grâce à leur longue expérience de thérapeutes, à leur maîtrise des techniques ostéopathiques et à l'aide d'examens ultrasonographiques, ont mis au point des techniques innovantes permettant d'améliorer la circulation vasculaire viscérale. À travers ce livre, ils montrent les différents emplacements des principaux pouls du corps et résument la physiologie de la circulation sanguine. L'approche est généraliste : les principaux organes et leur physiologie sont abordés (cœur, cou, crâne, abdomen, pancréas, intestin grêle, côlon et région pelvienne). Riche d'une iconographie explicite et de grande qualité, ce livre sert à la fois de repère anatomique et de guide pour exercer de la meilleure façon possible les manipulations vasculaires viscérales.

  • Anorexie et boulimie : approche dialectique

    • 1st Edition
    • Jérôme Carraz
    • French
    La prise en charge de l'anorexie et de la boulimie reste complexe, les protocoles de soins sont peu étayés et les référents institutionnels insuffisants compte tenu de l'ampleur de ces pathologies. C'est pourquoi cet ouvrage, innovant et inventif, propose un programme thérapeutique détaillé et des modules pratiques. Inspiré de la thérapie dialectique de M. Linehan, ce programme thérapeutique combine suivi individuel et ateliers de groupe, propose un travail centré sur des stratégies de changement et sur des stratégies d'acceptation afin de réduire les mécanismes dichotomiques de clivage dans lesquelles sont enfermées les patientes. Il est fondé sur quatre concepts-clé : sentiment d'inefficacité personnelle, dysrégulation émotionnelle, porosité des frontières, restriction cognitive. Chacun de ces concepts correspond à un module thérapeutique développé en dix à quinze séances qui sont présentées en détail: objectifs à atteindre, déroulement de l'atelier, documents remis aux patientes. Basé sur l'expérience clinique importante de l'auteur, ce programme est un modèle ouvert et surtout une invite à la créativité des thérapeutes qui pourront l'adapter à leurs situations cliniques. Ce livre s'adresse à tous les soignants intéressés par ces pathologies (psychiatres, diététiciennes, psychologues, infirmières, étudiants) mais aussi aux associations de patientes qui pourront y trouver une documentation susceptible de les aider.

  • Hemostasis and Coagulation, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 29-2
    • Henry M. Rinder
    • English
    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.

  • Réanimation et coma

    Soin psychique et vécu du patient
    • 2nd Edition
    • Michèle Grosclaude
    • French
    L'ouvrage s'inscrit dans une double perspective : éclairer le vécu du patient en réanimation et dans le coma ainsi que les implications pour les différents partenaires (équipes soignantes et proches), proposer un soin psychique, considéré comme indispensable au sein de la démarche thérapeutique hospitalière, qui prenne en compte l'état psychique et somatique du Sujet réanimé. Après un rappel de notions sur la réanimation, le coma, l'éveil et leurs enjeux humains, l'auteur aborde la spécificité de la clinique psychique de réanimation – vécu subjectif d'une expérience hors du commun d'un « autre monde » aux effets bouleversants, « trou-réa », « rêves de réa » - aidant à comprendre le patient et à concevoir un soin pertinent dans des situations réanimatoires complexes (ventilation artificielle, éveil, états d'agitation, absence de communication). Puis, il fournit des outils indispensables pour cette prise en soin psychique : outils théoriques (utilisant les acquis de la psychanalyse notamment), techniques comme la grille Peyrefite, et cliniques se fondant sur la relation de la parole : il ne faut pas seulement parler au malade mais parler avec lui, en tant que Sujet, ce qui impose une réflexion sur le fond et la forme de ce « parler avec ». Cette nouvelle édition largement augmentée par l'auteur apporte plusieurs nouvelles situations pratiques pour les soignants qui illustrent ainsi concrètement la relation spéciale qui s'instaure avec le patient en réanimation et reflètent également la difficulté du soignant lui-même à prendre soin en réanimation et à accueillir les familles. Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qui font l'expérience de la réanimation, pendant et également après : infirmiers, médecins, psychologues, kinésithérapeutes… et aussi les familles et les réanimés eux-mêmes. Il intéressera également les décideurs de santé.

  • Vasectomy and Vasectomy Reversal: Important Issues, An Issue of Urologic Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 36-3
    • Jay I. Sandlow + 1 more
    • English
    In spite of the fact that vasectomy is currently the most commonly utilized form of male contraception and it has been in use for more than 50 years, very little has been written regarding standards of practice, procedure, and follow up. This issue addresses these issues in such a way to allow the reader to evaluate what works best for their individual practice utilizing evidence-based medicine when it exists. It is not surprising in a society with a divorce rate of aproximately 50 % and an excess of 500,000 vasectomies per annum, that there is demand for vasectomy reversal. Approximately 6% of vasectomies are reversed. Although the most common indication for vasectomy reversal is remarriage, there are other indications. This issue addresses issues that are of concern when reversal is discussed with the patient seeking to restore his fertility.
