A distinguished group of experts and leaders in basic and experimental electrophysiology, epidemiology, clinical pharmacology, interventional clinical electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery contributed state-of-the-art reviews and also shared their insight to the future of AF. Topics include but are not limited to: Risk Factors and Genetics of Atrial Fibrillation; Mechanisms of Atrial Fibrillation: Rotors, Ionic Determinants, and Excitation Frequency; Diagnostic Evaluation and Follow-Up of Patients with Atrial Fibrillation; Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation; Antithrombotic and Anticoagulant Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation; Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: Incidence, Mechanisms, and Clinical Correlates; and Novel Upstream Approaches to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation Perpetuation.

      De nombreux ostéopathes sont confrontés dans leur pratique quotidienne à des patientes présentant des déséquilibres de la sphère pelvienne. Les motifs de consultation peuvent être liés à des troubles fonctionnels (incontinence urinaire, algies pelviennes, infertilité), à la physiologie hormonale (puberté, cycle menstruel, grossesse, ménopause) ou encore à des conséquences chirurgicales ou infectieuses spécifiques. Les tissus mous intrapelviens sont en permanence sollicités et mobilisés par les fonctions respiratoire, urinaire, génitale et intestinale ; de même les organes urogénitaux sont en constant mouvement. Le rôle de l'ostéopathe est de restaurer la mobilité de l'ensemble de ces tissus, afin d'assurer une bonne physiologie de la sphère pelvienne. Cet ouvrage, basé sur la clinique et les motifs de consultation les plus fréquents, fournit à l'ostéopathe des clés de traitement pour soulager et aider les patientes. Les auteurs proposent plusieurs types de manipulations par voies externe et interne. Les approches tissulaire, neurale et vasculaire y sont largement développées. L'ouvrage est didactique : la description des techniques est accompagnée de schémas et de photographies illustrant les différentes manipulations. La relation émotionnelle, l'impact social, le rôle du thérapeute, les indications et contre-indications, ainsi que certaines pathologies spécifiques à la sphère génito-urinaire sont autant d'aspects largement détaillés.

      There have been major advances in new therapies, diagnostic tools, and strategies for treatment and prevention of fungal infections. Despite these encouraging developments, large numbers of patients are at risk for infectious diseases, and the epidemiology of invasive mycoses continues to emerge. The diagnosis of these infections remains difficult, and treatment outcomes in highly immunosuppressed patients remain poor. Thus, this issue is devoted to state-of-the-art updates on fungal infections by internationally recognized authorities in this field. Some topics covered are Antifungal agents; State-of-the-art culture, identification, and resistance testing of fungal pathogens; Non-culture diagnostics in fungal disease; Contemporary strategies in the prevention and management of fungal infections; Invasive candidiasis; Invasive aspergillosis; Mucormycoses; and Cryptococcosis to name a few.
