    Actualisé et pratique, cet ouvrage très complet est destiné à tous les professionnels de santé convaincus que les mesures diététiques sont indispensables pour obtenir un bon contrôle glycémique et prévenir ainsi à court et à long terme les complications du diabète. Cet ouvrage poursuit 3 objectifs : • Remettre la nutrition à sa vraie place au sein de la thérapeutique du diabète • Faciliter la prescription diététique, qui apparaît souvent trop complexe • Eviter « l’inertie nutritionnelle », qu’elle soit préventive ou curative Pour atteindre ces objectifs, l’ouvrage a été conçu autour des principes suivants : • une mise à jour sur la physiopathologie et les conséquences des états diabétiques ; • une description détaillée, pratique et personnalisée des mesures nutritionnelles en tenant compte de l’âge des patients, de leur poids, de leurs pratiques alimentaires habituelles ou occasionnelles, de la nature de leur diabète, de leurs traitements médicamenteux et de la présence ou non de désordres biologiques ou cliniques associés à leur diabète. Chaque situation clinique fait l’objet d’explications rationnelles et d’exemples pratiques avec, en fin d’ouvrage, des fiches diététiques aisément transposables à la pratique médicale courante. Pour rendre cet ouvrage agréable et pour faciliter l’ « assimilation » de données nutritionnelles parfois « indigestes », les auteurs ont agrémenté leurs textes de figures et de tableaux didactiques. Nous espérons que cet ouvrage apportera une aide précieuse à toutes les personnes concernées par le diabète et sa prise en charge nutritionnelle.

  • Textbook Osteopathic Medicine

    • English
    For the first time, a 60-person team of internationally renowned editors and authors presents a textbook of osteopathic medicine that is oriented towards clinical symptoms. Introductory chapters on history, philosophy and the spread of osteopathy are followed by a presentation of its scientific basis that clearly demonstrates how firmly osteopathy is rooted in science. Further chapters cover osteopathic research, diagnosis and principles of treatment. Two parts on therapeutic strategies in osteopathic practice form the core of this book. The first is divided into regions of the body, the second into clinical specialties that offer opportunities for osteopathic treatment. In both clinical parts, osteopathic therapy is presented in the entirety in which it is actually practiced - without the common but artificial separation of parietal, visceral and craniosacral treatment. First, the clinical symptom is explained from a medical perspective, then the osteopathic perspective and and treatment is presented. Thus, the title is not only suitable for conveying a profound understanding of osteopaths in training, be they doctors or non-medical practitioners, but also as a clinical reference of osteopathic medicine for everyday treatment.
