    Infections of the liver and biliary system are not uncommon, while most of the infections are viral in nature. Globally, viral hepatitis is a major public health problem and parallels infections such as HIV and tuberculosis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Rapid advances have been made with HCV therapy at a time when the community focus has shifted to global elimination. This issue highlights some of the areas of considerable advances and challenges in viral hepatitis B and C. In addition, Hepatitis E is resurfacing as an infection of significance, particularly in the Western World where there is a prevalence of chronic infections.

Articles are devoted to the following topics: Global epidemiology of viral hepatitis; Update on diagnostics in viral hapatitis; Heptatitis B: Immunization and impact on natural history and cancer incidence; Heptatitis B: Current status of therapy and future therapies; Hepatitis Delta: Prevalence, natural history, and treatment options; Hepatitis C: How good is real-life data and do generics work: Hepatitis C: Does successful treatment alter the natural history and quality of life; Hepatitis E: Epidemiology,clinica... course, prevention, and treatment; CMV and EBV infections of the liver; Extrahepatic manifestations of viral hepatitis; Pyogenic and amebic infections of the liver; and Fungal and parasitic infections of the liver.

Enfin, l’organisation de la consultation et les spécificités de chaque type de peau sont détaillées pour répondre au mieux à la demande des patients.

  • La drépanocytose de l'enfant et l'adolescent

    • 1st Edition
    • Marianne de Montalembert + 3 more
    • French
    Les ouvrages de la collection Pedia sont écrits par les spécialistes du domaine pour les pédiatres hospitaliers et libéraux, les internes des services de pédiatrie ainsi que pour les médecins généralistes et parfois des spécialistes de médecine pour adulte.Précis et didactiques, ils fournissent à ces praticiens :les éléments indispensables pour détecter et reconnaître les pathologies ;des réponses claires à des situations cliniques précises ;des critères d’orientation et des propositions de conduites à tenir.Maladie héréditaire de l’hémoglobine, la drépanocytose touche plus de cinq millions de personnes à travers le monde et est actuellement considérée comme la maladie monogénique la plus répandue. De sévérité et d’évolution très variables, les manifestations de la drépanocytose sont multiples : anémie, crises vaso-occlusives douloureuses, accidents vasculaires cérébraux, susceptibilité accrue aux infections, méningites et ostéomyélites notamment, atteintes chroniques d’organe. En France, grâce à une prise en charge précoce, la drépanocytose n’entraîne désormais qu’une exceptionnelle mortalité dans l’enfance, contrastant cependant avec une importante morbidité.Pour répondre aux besoins des pédiatres et médecins généralistes qui, dans leur pratique quotidienne, peuvent être amenés à prendre en charge ces patients, l’ouvrage fait le point sur la drépanocytose « vie entière », les situations d’urgence, les atteintes chroniques d’organe et la thérapeutique.

    • French
    Pour la première fois traduit en langue française, Imagerie musculosquelettique traumatique constitue l’ouvrage de référence pratique du domaine : à l’aide de 3400 clichés, il décline plus de 200 diagnostics, classés par grandes régions anatomiques (épaule, coude, poignet et main, hanche, genou, cheville et pied), puis en fonction de la région par structure (pathologie osseuse, ligamentaire, tendineuse, etc.). Fidèle à la célèbre pédagogie des ouvrages anglo-saxons Amirsys, on retrouve : une présentation des diagnostics en double page avec une structure récurrente ;une information qui va à l’essentiel sous forme de listes à puces ;une richesse et une qualité exceptionnelle de l’iconographie, toujours présentée sous la même forme, ce qui rend les comparaisons aisées ;des points clés en encadrés pour un accès rapide à l’information ;enfin, une maquette conçue pour permettre de trouver rapidement l’information recherchée.L’ouvrage intègre les dernières évolutions techniques (prothèse de hanche par exemple ou encore en médecine du sport). Il propose également, lorsque nécessaire, l’imagerie pré- et postopératoire.
