      The scope of arthroscopy and endoscopy of the foot and ankle is expanding. New techniques are emerging to deal with diverse ankle pathology. The past twenty five years have brought significant advances in endoscopic and arthroscopic techniques. These small incision techniques result in less surgical trauma and faster healing.

      APRNs are essential to deliver healthcare in today’s complex environment. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists have met that challenge for over 150 years. Nurse Anesthetists have shifted from the intensive care unit as critical care nurses into the operating room arena. The operating room is an environment that is uniquely challenging. A critical care background is essential to meet these challenges, and all Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists share that experience. The topic; "Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesia: Critical Care Nursing in the Operating Room", highlights critical care nursing as it is applied in the operating room setting. Critical care nurses will appreciate the knowledge base that is essential for the anesthetist. As healthcare reform demands greater efficiency, more and more procedures are performed outside the operating room. The line between the Operating Room, ICU and Interventional Radiology will become less defined. Critical care nurses are, and will be more involved in patient care while an anesthetic is administered. It is the goal of this proposed monograph to share knowledge and experience so that ICU nurses will learn more about caring for the anesthetized patient.

      Physical health and mental health are inextricably linked together. Moreover, as the biology of mental illnesses is gradually – and inexorably – being elucidated, the overlap between physical illnesses and mental illnesses has become even more apparent. These observations ‘set the stage’ for readers of this issue of Psychiatric Clinics in which a variety of articles are presented from all aspects of medicine - from emergency mental health to how burn patients heal and cope with the physical and mental outcomes, to coverage of issues such as prolonged stay in the intensive care unit, comorbidities in the elderly, food allergies, depression and other common primary care conditions, and childhood diabetes. A primer on interviewing techniques and role play is presented along with the role of nurses who cross both mental and physical aspects of healthcare and the essential role of a supportive family to the interdiscipinary team .

      La chirurgie de la main et des nerfs périphériques est un domaine spécialisé de la chirurgie reconstructrice de l'appareil locomoteur, sans pour autant n'être qu'une affaire de spécialistes : tout médecin peut y être confronté que ce soit durant ou après sa formation. Cet ouvrage se veut un outil de consultation et de communication entre les uns et les autres. Ce volume est consacré au diagnostic et à la chirurgie des séquelles post-traumatiques, des maladies et des malformations de la main et du poignet. L'idée directrice est d'orienter au mieux le médecin de premier recours sur les possibilités thérapeutiques des pathologies fréquentes et celles moins courantes qu'il peut être initialement amené à prendre en charge. Un autre volume, complément indispensable, et consacré aux urgences, a pour objectif d'orienter l'interne ou le praticien non spécialiste face aux situations courantes rencontrées en urgence, qu'elles soient absolues, relatives ou différées. De la classification des lésions à leur traitement, les chapitres structurés et allant à l'essentiel sont illustrés d'exemples cliniques et de schémas pour une prise en charge rapide et efficace.

      Outil pharmacologique majeur en psychiatrie, les antipsychotiques permettent d'accroître le contrôle émotionnel, d'améliorer la modulation des perceptions et de la motivation, à travers une action sur le système dopaminergique. Toutefois, ces bénéfices thérapeutiques sont contrebalancés par de nombreux effets indésirables, parfois sévères. Mieux connaître leurs propriétés, leurs mécanismes d'action, leur efficacité et leurs limites dans différentes situations permet d'y avoir recours de manière appropriée, en limitant l'expression de leurs conséquences iatrogènes. Cet ouvrage, fondé sur les données scientifiques les plus récentes, offre un éclairage précieux sur les propriétés pharmacologiques et le maniement pratique des antipsychotiques. Après un état des lieux historique, les classifications des antipsychotiques, leurs modes d'action et leurs caractéristiques pharmacocinétiques sont détaillés. Les études d'efficacité et de tolérance dans les principales pathologies et les résultats des méta-analyses comparatives sont ensuite présentés, ainsi que la prise en charge des effets indésirables. Enfin, la dernière partie, résolument pratique, met en exergue les recommandations d'utilisation des antipsychotiques dans la schizophrénie et présente des exemples de prescription. Les ajustements nécessaires à un traitement optimal dans différentes situations cliniques sont proposés, tenant compte des mesures non médicamenteuses de la prise en charge.

      Les troubles du spectre autistique (TSA) sont des anomalies du neurodéveloppement d'apparition précoce chez le jeune enfant, responsables de perturbations durables et sévères de la communication et de la relation. Les familles confrontées aux TSA sont en grande difficulté pour obtenir auprès des professionnels de santé une information appropriée, leur permettant de mieux comprendre leur enfant et de mettre en place son accompagnement à domicile. Ainsi, cet ouvrage aborde dans un premier temps une information actualisée sur les TSA, puis le programme d'accompagnement éducatif individualisé avec les techniques d'intervention susceptibles d'être mises en place au domicile. Ce programme, développé par l'équipe du Professeur Amaria Baghdadli au sein du Centre de ressources autisme du CHRU de Montpellier, est à destination des professionnels. L'ouvrage se veut pratique, afin de leur servir de support pour l'animation d'un groupe d'éducation thérapeutique, avec le détail des sessions, le contenu et le matériel nécessaires.
