  • Management of Helicobacter pylori–Related Diseases, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 44-3
    • Akiko Shiotani
    • English
    Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a worldwide disease with a significant morbidity and mortality; it is the leading cause of non-ulcer dyspepsia, peptic ulcers and gastric tumors, including low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-lymphoma and adenocarcinoma. In addition, it has also been recognized that the interaction between H. pylori and non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs is damaging to the gastroduodenal mucosa. H. pylori treatment still remains a challenge for physicians, since no current first-line therapy is able to cure the infection in all treated patients. This issue will serve to update gastroenterologists on current therapies, evaluation and management of disease progression, and the future of management of H. pylori infection.

  • L'otoscopie en pratique clinique

    • 1st Edition
    • François Legent + 1 more
    • French
    La situation anatomique de l'oreille, avec ses cavités nichées au sein d'un massif osseux, rend difficile son exploration clinique. L'otoscopie, à la base de l'examen de l'oreille, permet d'observer très attentivement le conduit auditif externe et la membrane tympanique. L'étude par l'otoscopie des modifications morphologiques liées aux différentes pathologies d'oreille, associée à la symptomatologie clinique et placée dans le contexte, permet une orientation diagnostique d'une grande précision. Partant du concret, elle facilite la compréhension de nombreuses situations rencontrées dans les maladies de l'oreille externe et de l'oreille moyenne. Divisé en deux grandes parties – la première consacrée au conduit auditif externe , la seconde à l'oreille moyenne –, le présent ouvrage se consulte comme un atlas pratique : pour chacune des 171 fiches, une photographie otoscopique en couleurs permet de comprendre les signes évocateurs d'orientation diagnostique à rechercher. Les commentaires accompagnant chaque image fournissent les notions essentielles à connaître, constituant ainsi une leçon clinique à part entière.

    The volume of elderly patients requiring anesthesia and surgery is growing rapidly. Thirty-five percent of surgeries are performed on patients older than 65 years, and in general, these patients have higher morbidity and mortality rates after anesthesia compared with their younger counterparts. One of the major challenges of treating elderly patients is the heterogeneity of the geriatric population—and the need to individualize care for each patient to provide the best outcome.
