Ce guide couvre la totalité du programme du DEES composé de 4 domaines de compétence : - DC1 : Accompagnement social et éducatif spécialisé - DC2 : Conception et conduite de projets éducatifs spécialisés - DC3 : Communication professionnelle - DC4 : Dynamiques institutionnelles, interinstitutionnell... et partenariales Dans chaque domaine, le cours expose de façon claire et détaillée tous les savoirs, grâce à de nombreux tableaux et schémas légendés et à des études de situations. Des encadrés «Rôle de l'ES» mettent en lumière les compétences que le professionnel doit mettre en œuvre dans telle ou telle situation et des encadrés «Mémo psy» explicitent certaines notions de psychologie à maîtriser. Cet ouvrage, conforme au référentiel de formation, s'adresse à tous les élèves préparant le DEES, et à tous les professionnels de l'insertion et de l'autonomie qui souhaitent approfondir ou mettre à jour leurs connaissances et leurs compétences.

      Scleroderma, or systemic sclerosis, is a chronic connective tissue disease generally classified as one of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases. Hardening of the skin is one of the most visible manifestations of the disease. It’s estimated that about 300,000 Americans have scleroderma. About one third of those people have the systemic form of scleroderma. Since scleroderma presents with symptoms similar to other autoimmune diseases, diagnosis is difficult. This issue will cover: The Genetic Basis of SSc: Genetics, Epigenetics, Mechanisms of Pathogenesis – linking fibrosis, vasculopathy and immune dysregulation, The Role of Autoantibodies in Diagnosis and Prognosis/survival; Managing Raynaud’s phenomenon and ischemic ulcers, managing SSc Lung Disease, Monitoring for and Managing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, and many more!

      Evidence base in 2015 remains a subject of controversy for surgeons related to its application in surgery that cannot be approached as it is in medical evidence. Academic surgeons acknowledge that evidence base is necessary and private practitioners know it is woven into the fabric of their practice. Dr. Lisa Ishii and Dr. Travis Tollefson, editors of this publication, are at the forefront of clinical use of and research into evidence based surgery. The Oxford Centre system of evidence is used for this issue. Currently, evidence is dominant in the reconstructive aspect, moreso than the cosmetic aspect; as such, this resource focuses on the nerve and microvascular procedures. Topics include Facial vascular anomalies, Cleft lip and palate; Trauma; Facial reanimation; System reviews and metanalyses; and Skin care, Laser treatments; and Rhinoplasty. Audience for this resource is facial plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, laser therapists, dermatologists, and skin researchers.
