      This issue details the latest knowledge of early diagnosis, risk factors, limited surgical treatments, and novel therapies for pancreatic diseases. Clinicians will learn the most prognostic scoring systems for acute pancreatitis, review the basics for early management of the disease, and see how current practice guidelines have evolved. Advances in radiological imaging when applied to the pancreas have resulted in enhanced staging and improved selection for surgical intervention. Endoscopy of the pancreas via both ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound has led to unprecedented access and potential for non-operative intervention. Pancreatic surgery now takes advantage of both minimally invasive approaches and techniques learned from organ transplantation. These latest advances are addressed in this issue by key opinion leaders.

      Depuis quelques années, les lois de santé successives confèrent de nombreuses missions de praticien de santé aux pharmaciens d'officine. Parmi ces missions, l'une d'entre elles, quotidienne, concerne la prescription pharmaceutique de produits de santé en relation avec la prise en charge thérapeutique de symptôme(s) exprimé(s) par le patient. Une telle action ne peut s'appuyer que sur la reconnaissance exacte de ceux-ci car ils peuvent être trompeurs ou exprimer la première manifestation d'une pathologie grave évoluant à bas bruit. Cet ouvrage permet de reconnaître avec certitude les limites de la prescription pharmaceutique en fournissant notamment toutes les données sémio-pathologiques et de traitement de la maladie nécessaires à une intervention raisonnée. Le pharmacien pourra ainsi envisager une prescription rationnelle et sécurisée prenant en compte tous les éléments l'autorisant à réaliser cette action thérapeutique en respectant le bon usage des produits de santé ; il saura également conseiller à bon escient la nécessité d'une consultation médicale.Cette 8e édition a été entièrement remaniée, actualisée et augmentée. Elle notifie les conseils thérapeutiques en faisant référence, en tant que de besoin, aux recommandations officielles des instances de santé (ANSM, HAS) ; elle propose pour chaque pathologie évoquée des exemples de prescription pharmaceutique en allopathie, homéopathie, phytothérapie et aromathérapie.Cet ouvrage permet également d'appréhender de nombreux éléments concourant à l'éducation thérapeutique du patient tout en fournissant un excellent support à la formation continue pour tous les professionnels soucieux d'actualiser leurs connaissances.
