      Community-based primary care physicians are routinely challenged as they stabilize, evaluate, and care for term and late-preterm neonates. Although there have been many spectacular advances in care of neonates, the challenges and successes of caring for the most preterm, very low birth-weight newborns seem to dominate presentations and the Pediatric literature. This issue concentrates on the current evidence and the collected experience of neonatologists regarding the basics of caring for the vast majority of newborns. The newest recommendations of multiple organizations (including the AAP) are presented, including the rationale for each recommendation as well as controversial issues. The individual articles will provide the primary care provider with a comprehensive foundation for care of the neonate.

      Ce traité comble une importante lacune de l'imagerie vasculaire, puisqu'il actualise l'ensemble des données suite à l'explosion des nouvelles techniques d'imagerie. Depuis l'époque de l'angiographie diagnostique par cathétérisme vasculaire, l'imagerie des vaisseaux a subi une double révolution : - d'une part, l'essor de l'imagerie en coupes qui a pratiquement remplacé l'angiographie diagnostique, dans la plupart des situations cliniques, - d'autre part, l'explosion de la radiologie interventionnelle endovasculaire, qui conserve, dans beaucoup de situations, l'angiographie comme méthode de guidage. L'étude radiologique des vaisseaux se situe aujourd'hui au centre des discussions multidisciplinaires concernant la pathologie purement vasculaire, mais également la pathologie de beaucoup d'organes alimentés par ces vaisseaux. Ce traité offre une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur l'imagerie diagnostique des vaisseaux, la composante interventionnelle n'étant pas abordée. Il propose une mise au point des principales techniques actuellement utilisées, chaque territoire vasculaire étant abordé par un chapitre de radio-anatomie, suivi de chapitres touchant les principales pathologies rencontrées, avec trois axes de développement : particularités techniques, séméiologie radiologique et place de l'imagerie dans la prise en charge des patients. Ce traité est le résultat de la contribution d'auteurs éminents, pour la plupart membres particulièrement investis dans la Société française d'imagerie cardiaque et vasculaire (SFICV), société d'organe de la Société française de radiologie (SFR). Indispensable à l'ensemble des radiologistes et en particulier ceux ayant une activité de radiologie interventionnelle endovasculaire, cet ouvrage s'adresse également à tout médecin vasculaire, cardiologue, chirurgien vasculaire participant au nécessaire dialogue interdisciplinaire autour des patients porteurs de ces pathologies.
