      Prescribing for children is problematic. Children are not small adults in terms of their physiology, and they cannot be subjects in clinical trials. This makes prescribing for them something of an art and a daunting one at that for trainees. Will Carroll (co-editor of the Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics amongst other titles for paediatrics trainees) with a team of fellow paediatricians and a hospital pharmacist have sought to demystify prescribing for children. The team has identified what from their experience are the most common drugs prescribed to children and have addressed each one, adding detail about how each medicine works. Each chapter follows the ABCDE structure covering Absorption, Biological effects, Clearance, Dosing and side Effects in children. This book is a succinct, portable reference, modelled closely on Hitchings et al.: The Top 100 Drugs.

      Les entrées de ce guide tomodensitométrique pratique ont été sélectionnées en fonction de notre pratique quotidienne, à l'hôpital ou en pratique privée, en éliminant les entrées trop rares ou trop spécialisées et les entrées trop vagues. Pour chacune de ces entrées sont traités successivement : une liste de points à analyser de façon systématique sous la forme d'une "check-list" ;une analyse descriptive et sémiologique de chacune des images présentées ;un développement stratégique consacré au choix de l'examen d'imagerie, à la technique d'imagerie et au compte rendu à effectuer. Ce guide de scanner, issu de la même lignée que les Guides d'interprétation et de sémiologie en scanner précédemment publiés, correspond à l'aboutissement de ces guides résolument pratiques, puisqu'ils mettent à disposition les données nécessaires à une interprétation correcte, les données sémiologiques et les données stratégiques qui permettent de rédiger au mieux le compte rendu. Dans cet ouvrage, nous montrons plus d'images et nous développons un chapitre véritablement stratégique permettant d'aider le médecin à interpréter les images et à rédiger son compte rendu. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux radiologues débutants ou confirmés, quel que soit leur domaine de spécialisation, qui sont amenés à réaliser des scanners dans leur pratique clinique.
