    The increasing multicultural population in the US and the world is reflected in the patient population that most Facial Plastic Surgeons are seeing in their practice environments. Facial plastic surgery procedures and aesthetic goals had been based predominantly on European Caucasian models of anatomy and cultural influences/ Currently, a wide variety of racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds are included in most facial plastic surgery practice experiences. A recognition and sensitivity to those differences and influences should be part of a modern facial plastic surgeon’s skill set. With an understanding of the tremendous clinical relevance of multicultural aesthetics, this issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics addresses Anatomy, Aesthetic goals, Patient evaluation, and Surgical techniques according to various ethnic, racial, and cultural needs. Some of the topics presented are Considerations in non-Caucasian facelift procedures; Scar variations by skin type; Laser and face peel procedures in non-Caucasians; Rhinoplasty in the Mestizo nose; Rhinoplasty in the African-American nose; Rhinoplasty in the Asian nose; Facial aesthetic surgical goals in patients of different cultures; and Concepts of beauty in a multicultural world.

    This Otolaryngologic Clinics' publication’s intent is to provide standard and state of the art clinician performed thyroid ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNA technique. The subject area is evolving rapidly with new technologies being incorporated. This title integrates thyroid cytology, FNA and Ultrasound Guided FNA with inclusion of diagnostic molecular testing. Clinical Thyroid Molecular Testing has ushered in a new era to the diagnosis, management and prognostication of thyroid nodules. The discussion of this highly clinically applicable subject is described in terms of diagnostic process. This is a thyroid neoplasm clinical “game changer” for the General Otolaryngologist, Head and Neck Surgeon, General Surgeon, Endocrinologist, Pathologist, and Radiologist. This testing maximizes the number of patients who have cancer to receive the correct therapeutic surgery appropriately and minimizes the number of patients who do not need surgery (and avoid the potential complications and surgery) because they do not have cancer. Surgical management and prognostication have far reaching implications with fine needle aspiration driven molecular markers. Some topics include: Clinical evaluation of the thyroid nodule; Thyroid cytology; Clinician performed thyroid ultrasound; Clinician performed thyroid ultrasound guided FNA; Thyroid cancer molecular laterations - what the surgeon should know; Thyroid cancer multi-gene expression - what the surgeon needs to know; Incorporating molecular testing into your thyroid practice - five experts discuss; and others.

  • Cognition sociale et schizophrénie

    Outils d'évaluation et de remédiation
    • 1st Edition
    • Nicolas FRANCK
    • French
    La cognition sociale recouvre l'ensemble des processus de traitement de l'information permettant de comprendre les autres et d'interagir avec eux. L'altération de ces processus dans la schizophrénie a pour conséquence d'importantes difficultés relationnelles pour les personnes qui en souffrent. Les conséquences de ces difficultés sur l'insertion - aussi bien sociale que professionnelle – et, plus globalement, sur le pronostic de la maladie peuvent être majeures. Il est donc très important de prendre en considération cette dimension de la schizophrénie dans l'évaluation et la prise en charge. Cet ouvrage considère la cognition sociale d'un point de vue d'abord théorique, puis pratique. La lecture intentionnelle, le traitement des informations faciales, la théorie de l'esprit, l'empathie, le raisonnement et la perception sociale sont explicités et la manière de les évaluer est envisagée. Les outils de remédiation cognitive destinés à agir sur la cognition sociale sont ensuite présentés. Mieux comprendre la cognition sociale permet de mieux prendre en charge ses troubles. Plusieurs programmes consacrés à la remédiation cognitive sont disponibles en français, dont RC2S, Gaïa, ToMRemed et SCIT. Ces programmes sont présentés de manière pratique dans leurs indications et leurs modalités d'utilisation.
