      Neonatal-perinatal medicine has a strong history of evidence based practice but unfortunately there remain many areas of uncertainty and unproven hypotheses and treatments that may harm our highly vulnerable patients. When new ideas are introduced into the labor and delivery room or the NICU we have to evaluate these procedures and therapies before they become accepted as standards of care. We need to learn from the past lessons of grey baby syndrome and chloramphenicol and of kernicterus and sulfonamide antibiotics where therapeutic good intentions actually did more harm than good and increased the mortality rate of premature babies in the NICU.This proposed edition addresses a broad range of current topics in perinatal neonatal practice. The AAP has just issued new guidelines for the approach to a neonate exposed to maternal genital herpes virus infection. The recommendations were not evidence based and are highly controversial as well as confusing. These topics are addressed in a scholarly and objective manner to both address the controversy and help the practitioner make informed decisions.

      This issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America is all about acute upper GI bleeding and is divided into two distinct sections: section I is devoted to nonvariceal upper GI bleeding and section II is devoted to variceal upper GI bleeding. Acute nonvariceal upper GI bleeding may originate from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum, essentially anywhere proximal to the Ligament of Treitz. In Section I, Dr Gianluca Rotondano, Hospital Maresca, Torre del Greco, Italy, begins with a review of the epidemiology and diagnosis of acute nonvariceal upper GI bleeding. We then turn to patient presentation, risk stratification, and how to initially medically manage these bleeding patients. I am pleased to have one of our emergency medicine colleagues, Dr Andrew Meltzer, Department of Emergency Medicine, George Washington University, contribute this important article and provide a unique viewpoint from the emergency department where most of these patients initially present. As we all know, endoscopic hemostasis is the accepted standard of care for patients with acute nonvariceal upper GI bleeding. Moreover, peptic ulcer bleeding is the most common nonvariceal cause of acute upper GI bleeding; thus, Drs Yidan Lu, Yen-I Chen, and Alan Barkun from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, provide an in-depth review of the endoscopic management of peptic ulcer bleeding. Drs Eric Tjwa, I. Lisanne Holster, and Ernst Kuipers from the Erasmus Medical Center University Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, review the endoscopic management of all other causes of acute nonvariceal upper GI bleeding, and in addition, Drs Louis Wong Kee Song and Michael Levy from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota discuss emerging endoscopic hemostasis treatments, such as topical sprays and over-the-scope clipping devices. Although endoscopic hemostasis is very highly effective, there are unfortunately cases where bleeding is unable to be controlled or when significant rebleeding occurs that is not amenable to endoscopic therapy. Therefore, I have included two articles that provide insight into the question…what if endoscopic hemostasis fails? The first article, written by Drs Philip Wai Yan Chiu and James Yun Wong Lau, from Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, focuses on tried and true surgical treatment options. The second article, by Dr Sujal Nanavati, University of California at San Francisco, Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, addresses the alternative treatment strategy of angiographic embolization, which has now emerged as the often preferred salvage treatment strategy. One of the most feared complications of cirrhosis and portal hypertension is variceal hemorrhage. In Section II of this issue, the focus is on variceal causes of acute upper GI bleeding. Usually due to esophageal variceal rupture, this complication occurs in an entirely different epidemiologic and clinical setting than nonvariceal upper GI bleeding. Thus, this topic requires an understanding of many critical issues, including diagnosis and management. We begin Section II with a review of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and early patient management strategies in bleeding esophagogastric varices by Drs Sumit Kumar, Sumeet Asrani, and Patrick Kamath from Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Drs Jawad Ilyas and Fasiha Kanwal from the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas go on to present the latest evidence on primary prophylaxis of variceal bleeding, both medical and endoscopic. However, for those patients who present with acute esophagogastric variceal bleeding, endoscopic management is the cornerstone of patient management. Drs Andrés Cárdenas, Anna Baiges, Virginia Hernandez-Gea, and Juan Carlos Garcia-Pagan from the GI/Endoscopy Unit and Barcelona Hepatic Hemodynamic Laboratory, Liver Unit, Barcelona, Spain, provide an evidence-based review of endoscopic hemostasis techniques in acute esophageal variceal bleeding, and Drs Frank Weilert and Kenneth Binmoeller from Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand and the California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco, respectively, discuss the recommended endoscopic management of bleeding gastric varices, including emerging techniques such as EUS-guided intravascular therapies. Next, Drs Sanjaya Satapathy and Arun Sanyal contribute a comprehensive review of nonendoscopic management strategies for esophagogastric variceal bleeding, and last but not least, Drs Kamran Qureshi and Abdullah Al-Osaimi, from Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, discuss how to manage the patient with portal hypertensive gastropathy and gastric antral vascular ectasia (also known as watermelon stomach).

      Nous sommes tous piégés par nos émotions, et le travail sur celles-ci constitue le quotidien de tout psychothérapeute. Thérapie cognitive et émotions expose de manière synthétique comment les thérapies comportementales et cognitives (TCC) abordent les problèmes émotionnels et leurs interrelations avec les comportements et les cognitions. Livre polyphonique, il regroupe dix experts et propose une présentation théorique des modèles des émotions et de leurs applications pratiques en thérapie individuelle, de groupe ou en thérapie familiale. Témoignage de vigueur, de rigueur et de créativité, il ouvre la voie à un renouvellement des pratiques et des formations, au coeur de la troisième vague des TCC. Cette présente édition comporte un nouveau chapitre qui synthétise les données de la médecine fondée sur des preuves qui valident certaines des thérapies de troisième vague. Elle met également au jour certains faits marquants tels que l'accent mis sur l'optimisme par la psychologie positive, la thérapie focalisée sur la compassion ainsi que le travail patient effectué par les chercheurs pour valider les approches cognitives et comportementales des émotions. F. Dattilio, F. Mehran, D. Page, P. Philippot, C. Pull, M.-C. Pull, A. Salamat, R. Toth, P. Vuille ont participé à cet ouvrage.

      Depuis les années cinquante, et avec la prise de conscience des souffrances endurées par les bébés lors de la guerre, la connaissance que nous avons du fonctionnement psychique durant les premiers âges de la vie est un objet d'approfondissement permanent. À travers l'observation psychique et scientifique du fœtus, du nourrisson, puis du jeune enfant, ce sont les fondements de la psyché que l'on s'efforce de dévoiler. C'est donc une discipline en constante évolution, dynamique et interactive que nous proposent de découvrir ici Bernard Golse et Marie Rose Moro, à travers différentes approches : psychanalytique, transculturelle et biologique. Cet ouvrage collectif nous permet de pénétrer au cœur des fondements originels de l'individu tout en gardant en vue l'intrication des questions de société qui lui sont intimement liées. Il nous invite ainsi à découvrir par quels processus la plupart des bébés parviennent à mettre en place avec succès des mécanismes aussi compliqués que ceux qui vont le mener à l'intersubjectivité, à la subjectivation et aux fondements de la communication. Cet ouvrage s'appuie sur le programme du DU de psychopathologie du bébé à Paris-13 (créé par S. Lebovici) et sur celui du DU de psychiatrie du bébé à Paris-5 (créé par M. Soulé). Il tient compte des recherches actuelles menées sur le fœtus et des perspectives théoriques et cliniques du programme de recherche PILE (Programme international pour le langage de l'enfant, dirigé par B. Golse à Necker) portant sur la construction et l'émergence de la parole chez l'enfant.

      Trois ans se sont écoulés depuis l'édition de la première version de cet ouvrage consacré au diabète sucré, maladie dont la fréquence ne cesse d'augmenter et dont le traitement devient de plus en plus complexe. Pour tenir compte de l'évolution des idées, plusieurs chapitres ont été actualisés ou rajoutés. Comme dans la première édition, nous avons particulièrement insisté sur les aspects pratiques de la prise en charge et les nouvelles méthodes d'exploration, de suivi et de traitement. Ce dernier a bénéficié des avancées scientifiques des trois dernières décennies : développement de l'autosurveillance glycémique, de l'enregistrement glycémique continu et mise sur le marché de nouvelles classes thérapeutiques qui ont conduit à renforcer notre arsenal thérapeutique. Les traitements par infusion insulinique continue n'ont cessé de progresser et ils ont contribué à l'amélioration globale de l'équilibre glycémique des diabétiques de type 1. Les nouvelles recommandations diagnostiques et thérapeutiques ont été développées de manière didactique en essayant de les insérer dans le continuum de la longue histoire du diabète sucré. Ainsi, cet ouvrage s'adresse à l'ensemble des professionnels de santé concernés par la prise en charge des patients diabétiques.
