  • Disaster and Trauma, An Issue of Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 23-2
    • Stephen J Cozza
    • English
    An overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for health care providers - child and adolescent psychiatrists, general psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and primary care clinicians - is presented. Most clinicians are unaware that children in the United States are exposed to trauma frequently, either as a single occurrence, or through repeated events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and well-being. This issue describes the multiple types of traumatic exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment, and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. The volume highlights areas of particular relevance to children, such as natural disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community violence, sexual victimization, and complex trauma. Each is differentiated as a unique trauma, requiring trauma-informed systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed population. Since traumatic exposure results in added risk to child well-being, the third section of the volume describes strategies for primary prevention (e.g. violence prevention) and risk mitigation (e.g. skill and resilience building strategies), as well as reviews evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical disorders.

  • Headache in Otolaryngology: Rhinogenic and Beyond, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 47-2
    • Howard Levine
    • English
    Patients present to physicians with headache or facial pain and are certain that it is a “sinus headache.” Specialists of all types - otolaryngologists, allergists, neurologists, internists, and emergency physicians are confronted almost daily with these patients. “Headache in Otolaryngology: Rhinogenic and Beyond” describes headaches ascribed to other causes - migraine as well as headaches that actually are a result of sinusitis. This volume addresses the need for expertise of an otolaryngologist who can obtain a history of nasal and sinus disease, evaluate the interior of the nose, and correlate it to a computed tomographic (CT) scan, along with collaboration of neurologists/headach... specialists. Because headaches are often a symptom of potentially dangerous medical conditions that may need emergency work-up and referral to the appropriate physician, information in this volume identifies these emergency conditions for the clinician. Topics include: Confusion about sinus headache; Diagnosing Adult and Pediatric Headache; Imaging for the headache patient; TMJ head pain; Signs of dangerous headache; Vertiginous headache; Rhinogenic headache; Medical treatment of headache; and Surgery for headache.

  • Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 24-2
    • Norio Fukami
    • English
    In this issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, we invited pioneers and experts in this field to share recent advancements and expansions of ESD and its technical aspects in different organ systems. In addition, this issue covers the associated techniques of per oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) to further advance understanding of the latest breakthroughs in endoscopic therapy. Current trends surrounding ESD around the world—in Asia, Europe, and the United States—are addressed as well. Some articles include videos for readers to watch ESD procedures in action, performed by experts, for easier understanding of ESD techniques. The Guest Editors expect that this issue will inspire more physicians to explore the expanding possibilities of endoscopic therapy such as ESD and POEM and to advocate minimally invasive treatment for patients.

  • African Skin and Hair Disorders, An Issue of Dermatologic Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 32-2
    • Nonhlanhla P Khumalo
    • English
    People of African ancestry have sensitive skin and may suffer from a wide variety of skin disorders. Hair disorders are also common and differ from those suffered by Caucasians. This issue of the Dermatologic Clinics focuses on the most common skin and hair disorders seen in black skin, with articles focusing on acne scarring, alopecia, keloids, and skin pigmentation. There are also articles addressing moisturizers for the skin and the effect of hair treatments on the hair and scalp. Also discussed is the sociohistoric issues that can cloud the scientific understanding of clinical entities. Emphasis is often put on race and yet a very clear distinction should be made between race and quantifiable entities such as pigment and hair curl as determinants for skin/hair disease predilection; this is quite distinct from race as a surrogate for social class and a disease determinant for most medical conditions and malignancies.

  • Chirurgie des cancers gynécologiques

    • 2nd Edition
    • Denis Querleu + 3 more
    • French
    Les interventions habituelles de traitement initial des stades précoces des cancers gynécologiques impliquent la maîtrise de l'hystérectomie élargie et des curages ganglionnaires par voie abdominale et par voie cœlioscopique. Les situations cliniques rares comme la chirurgie conservatrice des cancers du col utérin ou la chirurgie des cancers de la vulve et du vagin nécessitent de connaître des techniques plus spécifiques. Pour les exentérations pelviennes comme pour la chirurgie des cancers de l'ovaire avancés, la présentation de nouveaux champs que sont la péritonectomie et la splénectomie, mais aussi la chirurgie reconstructrice, impose au gynécologue une formation complémentaire à la chirurgie viscérale. Cet ouvrage est la synthèse des techniques traditionnelles et des innovations du domaine et propose une 2e édition totalement réactualisée, avec des illustrations nouvelles, ainsi qu'un nouveau chapitre consacré à la chirurgie prophylactique des cancers gynécologiques. Chaque temps opératoire essentiel est décrit et illustré par des photographies réunies en atlas et complétées parfois par un dessin explicatif (500 images), dans le but d'approcher au plus près la réalité opératoire. Les auteurs, de renommée nationale et internationale, ont contribué à l'établissement des traitements standards et au développement des techniques nouvelles. Cet ouvrage sera utile à tous les praticiens chirurgiens, gynécologues, oncologues, en décrivant à la fois les techniques de base très largement utilisables par tous en pratique courante et les techniques d'exception réservées aux hyperspécialistes.

  • Guide pratique de la consultation en gériatrie

    • 3rd Edition
    • Laurence Hugonot-Diener
    • French
    Le vieillissement de la population confronte de plus en plus le praticien aux patients particuliers que sont les sujets âgés. Outre l'examen clinique traditionnel, l'évaluation gérontologique standardisée (EGS) doit rentrer dans la pratique courante de tout généraliste. Cet examen permet d'évaluer l'ensemble des fonctions cognitives, sociales, et l'autonomie fonctionnelle d'un patient. À l'aide des nombreux tests courts et pratiques de diagnostic, cet ouvrage permet au praticien de suivre l'évolution physique et psychique des personnes âgées. Il propose tout d'abord un examen clinique spécifique (évaluation cognitive, thymique, nutritionnelle, de l'équilibre et de la marche, évaluation fonctionnelle et de l'autonomie), puis un état des lieux des pathologies gériatriques, des pathologies neurodégénératives et des troubles du comportement. Cette nouvelle édition présente notamment les outils opposables à PATHOS (outil d'évaluation des états pathologiques en EHPAD) et propose des tests plus spécifiques à l'attention des sujets fragiles afin de dépister suffisamment tôt cette fragilité et un certain nombre de déficits pour mettre en place des attitudes de prévention, de traitement et de prises en charge efficaces. Ce guide s'intègre parfaitement dans la pratique des médecins généralistes, des médecins coordonnateurs en EHPAD et de tous les praticiens dans le suivi de leurs patients âgés.

    • Nicolas Perrot + 1 more
    • French
    L'échographie endovaginale est irremplaçable dans la pratique clinique quotidienne : elle constitue l'un des fondamentaux de l'imagerie gynécologique et obstétricale. Grâce au développement des sondes de dernière génération, elle apparaît de plus en plus comme un outil de diagnostic extrêmement précis dans le cadre des pathologies utéro-ovariennes et dans le suivi de la grossesse normale et pathologique. Elle trouve aussi des applications dans la procréation médicalement assistée. Après un rappel de la technique de l'examen échographique, l'ouvrage aborde les principes anatomiques physiologiques puis les pathologies gynécologiques et vésicales : pathologie endométriale et cavitaire, pathologie myométriale, pathologie ovarienne, pathologie tubaire, endométriose pelvienne, les derniers chapitres abordent les spécificités du pelvis postopératoire, de l'assistance médicale à la procréation, de la grossesse, de la vessie et de l'échographie de contraste. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte des dernières avancées dans les domaines des masses annexielles, de l'endométriose et de l'exploration des myomes ; l'iconographie, réactualisée est issue pour l'essentiel des machines de toute dernière génération. Cet ouvrage de référence s'adresse aux échographistes, aux radiologues et aux gynécologues-obstétr...
