      Une situation difficile au travail correspond à l'accumulation de facteurs dépassant les capacités collectives de régulation d'une entreprise et les ressources psychosociales des personnes. Il en résulte un déséquilibre pouvant mettre en jeu la santé des salariés et l'efficacité du travail. Il peut s'agir de facteurs : - organisationnels : équipes marginalisées, choc de générations, perte chronique d'activité, bouleversement stratégique, etc. ; - individuels : situation de fragilisation, personnalité difficile, épuisement professionnel (burnout), etc. ; - relationnels : hyperconflit, harcèlement, persécution, management toxique, etc. Illustré de situations concrètes, cet ouvrage permet d'analyser les situations difficiles selon ces trois approches et d'en évaluer les risques. Il propose des outils d'accompagnement et de résolution des conflits. Enfin, il présente les bonnes pratiques à mettre en place pour prévenir ce type de situations. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux praticiens de l'accompagnement professionnel (coachs-consultants en entreprise), aux professionnels de la santé au travail (médecins, psychothérapeutes, psychologues), mais également aux managers et aux managés.

      Le vétérinaire praticien se voit proposer une offre de plus en plus large d'examens d'imagerie médicale. Parmi ces examens, certains lui sont facilement accessibles au cabinet (radiographie et échographie) d'autres, plus coûteux, nécessitent généralement de référer. Les examens simples suffisent au diagnostic de nombreuses affections, à condition d'en connaître les signes et de les rechercher, et référer requiert des connaissances sur les capacités diagnostiques des techniques. Véritable guide pratique d'imagerie médicale vétérinaire, cet ouvrage fait le point sur l'ensemble des techniques disponibles à l'heure actuelle. Il rappelle les principes physiques et les spécificités de chacune d'entre elles afin de mieux comprendre leurs apports respectifs dans le diagnostic des principales maladies canines et félines. À travers l'évocation clinique d'un nombre très important d'affections du chat et du chien, et grâce à une iconographie extrêmement variée et de grande qualité, cet ouvrage permet au lecteur de visualiser pour chaque maladie les images les plus probantes afin de faire le bon choix parmi les différents examens disponibles et de reconnaître les signes à rechercher afin d'établir un diagnostic. Il fournit également les clés permettant de référer à bon escient afin d'effectuer les examens complémentaires parfois indispensables.

      Most physicians entering the field of pediatric cardiology are drawn to it by an interest in the wide variety of congenital heart defects which present at various ages. Most congenital heart disease will be evident in early life, presenting with cyanosis, heart murmur, congestive heart failure or shock. Textbooks in pediatric cardiology are filled overwhelmingly with chapters on the various congenital heart lesions which are encountered, both rare and common. However, practicing pediatric cardiologists will be quick to point out that a significant number of referrals to any practice do not involve congenital heart problems. Reviewing our own statistics at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Cardiology Center for the past two years (2010-2012) reveals that outpatient visits for new patient consultations examined by age groups are: less than 1 year of age – 11%; 1-5 years – 23%; 6-10 years – 21%; 11-18 years – 45%. Retrospective data collected from billing codes, as in this brief survey, may imprecise. However, it does provide a snapshot of the usual referral problems encountered by pediatric cardiologists. In our practice, the most common overall reason for referral in all ages was “heart murmur”, constituting 26% of total referrals. Second were rhythm and rhythm related problems (inclusive of palpitations, abnormal ECG and diagnosed premature beats) constituted 19% of the total. In the age group of interest for this book of 11-18 years, the most common presenting issues were rhythm related (23%) and chest pain (23%), followed by syncope or dizziness (19%) and heart murmur (12%). Congenital heart disease diagnoses encountered in the 11 to 18 year age group comprised only 6.5% of referrals within that age group. It is likely that many of these were not new diagnoses (with a few exceptions), but rather represented transfers to our practice. Our own outpatient clinical experience reveals that the majority of outpatients referred by pediatricians for pediatric cardiology evaluation are between the ages of 11 and 18. The majority of these new referrals are not for congenital heart disease. Our intent for this edition of Pediatric Clinics of North America is to describe the types of problems which seem to be of concern to the pediatric community within this age group and to describe strategies for evaluation. "This issue of PCNA surely will prove to be a valuable collection for any motivated primary care professional dealing with adolescents health."Reviewed by: Neel Kamal, Feb14
