    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!

    La céphalée est l'un des symptômes les plus fréquents de la pratique médicale courante. Tout médecin peut y être confronté dans le cadre de l'urgence ou d'une consultation programmée.

Il existe des règles simples à respecter pour le diagnostic et la prise en charge des céphalées, des signes d'alarme qui doivent inciter le généraliste à prendre un avis spécialisé ou à diriger son patient vers un service d'urgences. Cet ouvrage est composé de cinq parties : • généralités (interrogatoire et examen, épidémiologie et impact, mécanismes, aspects génétiques, psychopathologie) ; • clinique et traitement de la migraine ; • céphalées primaires autres que la migraine ; • céphalées secondaires ; • situations particulières : céphalées en « coup de tonnerre », urgences, enfant, femme enceinte et sujet âgé. Cette nouvelle édition a été entièrement mise à jour et les critères diagnostiques de la plus récente classification internationale des céphalées (version 3 bêta, 2013) servent de fil conducteur tout au long du livre.
