    Consultations of Gastroenterology practitioners are frequently sought for many complex issues relating to acute and chronic liver disease. Many of the disease entities are uncommon and complicated in scope. Liver disease may occur in the setting of other chronic medical conditions and involve other organ systems, with recommendations for diagnostic strategies and therapeutic approaches somewhat challenging. Serious consequences are often the rule with misdiagnosed or inadequately treated liver disease. Dr. Flamm has provided a framework for approaching consultation for common liver-related problems for the gastroenterology practitioner. Articles are devoted to the following topics: Common Findings and Interpretation for the Clinician; Genetic Testing in Liver Disease: What to Order and When; Acute Liver Failure; Liver Disease in Oncology Patients; Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: What the Gastroenterologist/H... Needs to Know; An Update on the Treatment and Follow up of Patients with PBC; Wilson’s Disease: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow Up; Follow Up of the Post-Liver Transplantation Patient: A Primer for the Practicing Gastroenterologist; Liver Disease in Patients on Total Parenteral Nutrition; Treatment Strategies in NAFLD: What’s Coming; Resistance Testing in Chronic HCV; and HCV genotype 3: Treatment Approach and Natural History.

    Comment bien nourrir son enfant ? La réponse à cette question fondamentale est plus difficile et contrastée qu’il n’y paraît. La diversité des opinions émises et l’évolution permanente des recommandations en matière de nutrition infantile compliquent la tâche des pédiatres et médecins traitants. Cet ouvrage est structuré autour de 5 grands chapitres : Allaitement maternel- Alimentation au biberon - Diversification alimentaire - Principales erreurs alimentaires - Prise en charge diététique de certaines pathologies. Ainsi, les auteurs livrent les outils pratiques, pour mieux comprendre les bases nutritionnelles, et des documents utilisables dans la grande majorité des situations, normales ou pathologiques, où des conseils alimentaires doivent êtres prodigués. Ce livre réfute de nombreuses idées reçues au moyen d’un éclairage différent, basé sur des arguments scientifiques dûment démontrés. Cette troisième édition, entièrement mise à jour, propose des annexes : tableaux de synthèse sur les apports nutritionnels des aliments, des exemples de régime selon les âges, etc. Pour faciliter leur consultation et utilisation, toutes ces annexes sont également disponibles en ligne. Cet ouvrage pratique est destiné aux pédiatres, médecins généralistes, nutritionnistes, diététiciens, puéricultrices, infirmières, ainsi qu’à tous les parents qui désirent enrichir leur savoir sur l’alimentation de leur enfant.
