      Pneumonia is the leading cause of death due to infectious disease. This issue of Infectious Disease Clinics, guest edited by Tom File, focuses on the controversies and questions surrounding community-acquired pneumonia, including the potential benefits of identifying biomarkers for management of CAP (which could someday become a part of routine diagnostic testing for CAP), the best therapies for influenza/viral causes of pneumonia (the most common form of the disease in children), and clinical scoring tools to help predict long term outcomes. The issue also discusses how to approach MRSA as a cause of CAP and how to approach the non-responding patient.

      That patients self-treat for such disorders as anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep disorders, attention deficit, is no surprise among psychiatrists. Hearing from patients, or parents of patients who use alternative therapies on themselves or their children, more scientifically-based facts are needed on non-pharmacologic, non–analysis approaches. The Guest Editors of this issue in Psychiatric Clinics have been using, researching, and analyzing alternative approaches since the 1990s and present a scientifically based presentation of select therapies, such as Nutrients, Herbals, Off-label Medication uses, Mind-Body approaches, Meditation, Hypnosis, Electrotherapy, Light treatments and more. Mechanisms of action, Outcomes, Evidence, and Complications are part of the outline for this material, with intent to provide the most current and the strongest science available.

    • Le syndrome dys-exécutif chez l'enfant et l'adolescent

      Parmi les troubles dys-, ou troubles cognitifs spécifiques développementaux, ceux affectant les fonctions exécutives sont encore trop méconnus. Touchant des fonctions dites « transversales », qui irriguent et gèrent toutes les autres, ils n'ont pas de répercussions circonscrites, ce qui rend leur repérage difficile. Favoriser l'établissement d'un diagnostic précoce et rigoureux et ainsi permettre aux sujets qui en souffrent de bénéficier des stratégies thérapeutiques et pédagogiques susceptibles de les améliorer : tel est le double objectif de ce livre. Cet ouvrage est composé de deux parties aux approches très différentes mais qui s'imbriquent pour atteindre le même but : aider tous ceux qui seront amenés à côtoyer et à accompagner les jeunes souffrant de troubles dys-exécutifs. La première partie fait un point synthétique sur les aspects médicaux du syndrome dys-attentionnel (TDA/H) et dys-exécutif. Après une description du développement normal de ces fonctions chez l'enfant, sont abordés leurs aspects pathologiques : symptômes, répercussions dans les apprentissages, puis les stratégies et évaluations qui conduisent au diagnostic. Enfin, sont indiquées les grandes lignes des préconisations thérapeutiques (médicamenteuses et rééducatives). La seconde partie est consacrée au jeune dys-exécutif à l'école. C'est dans ce cadre en effet qu'il passe une bonne part de sa vie, où s'exprime l'essentiel de ses difficultés et où se décide son avenir, personnel, professionnel et social. À travers un grand nombre d'exemples de devoirs choisis dans l'éventail des disciplines scolaires (sciences, littérature, histoire-géographie…... et de tous les niveaux (collège et lycée), les auteurs dessinent une « méthodologie générale de l'adaptation » et au delà jettent les bases d'une réflexion sur les principes qui aideront à l'élaboration de stratégies palliatives pertinentes, indispensables pour ces jeunes. Ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux, professionnels du soin (médecins pratiquant la neuropsychologie infantile, médecins et psychologues scolaires, neuropédiatres, neuropsychologues), professeurs (enseignants, spécialisés ou non, enseignants référents), auxiliaires de vie scolaire (AVS), parents qui cherchent à comprendre les ressorts de ces troubles et à apporter une aide efficace aux jeunes qui en souffrent. Son originalité réside dans le fait d'articuler le médical et le pédagogique.

      Since its first publication, almost two decades ago, A System of Orthopaedic Medicine has proven to be a reliable resource and guide for those clinicians working in the field of orthopaedic medicine who assess and treat the effects of musculoskeletal pain. This third edition remains focused on clinical reasoning and diagnosis, with detailed guidance on palpation of the anatomical structures and the correct performance of each therapeutic technique. Following the ‘System’, the clinician first completes a systematic clinical assessment of the joints involved, and then, after interpreting the results, groups the disorders and conditions into clinical syndromes. Finally, the natural history and the conservative treatment of each condition are discussed accordingly. NEW! Building on the previous edition, A System of Orthopaedic Medicine now comes with access to online resources designed to support and enhance the learning experience of each and every clinician using the book. The new edition has been streamlined for easier access and handling by transferring all the applied anatomy chapters, references, links and other selected chapters onto the online resources.

      Outcomes . . .familiar in medicine fields, but only in recent decades becoming more of an issue for surgeons . . .the highly subspecialized nature of the surgical profession and breadth of procedures along with variance in patient population creates a challenge in achieving useful, informative outcomes. Here, in this issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery, the focus is on evidence-based practice and outcomes in plastic surgery, spanning the major areas of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Outcomes as guidance for the surgeon’s decision regarding approaches and techniques for procedures is the approach. Some of the topics covered are: Measuring Outcomes in Aesthetic Surgery; Measuring Outcomes in Craniofacial and Pediatric Surgery; Measuring Outcomes in Hand Surgery; How to Link Outcomes Data to Quality Initiatives in Plastic Surgery; along with How to Use the Outcomes Questionnaire, Pearls and Pitfalls; among others. Guest Editors Kevin Chung and Andrea Pusic lead this review. Dr. Chung is involved with structuring evidence-based practice and research in hand surgery to derive the best evidence to guide treatment for upper extremity conditions and he developed the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire. Dr Pusic developed the BREAST-Q, which measures satisfaction and quality-of-life outcomes among breast reconstruction patients. Out of the BREAST-Q has come the FACE-Q, which provides a clinically useful patient-reported outcome measure of satisfaction and quality of life following elective surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

      La pratique radiologique a connu un bouleversement sans précédent depuis l'arrivée du numérique et le quasi-abandon de la radiologie sur film. Pour la première fois, un livre expose les problématiques actuelles de l'image médicale, de sa formation à son stockage. Cet ouvrage propose une étude approfondie : - du processus de numérisation ; - des systèmes d'imagerie médicale ; - du filtrage ; - de la reconstruction tomographique en 2D et en 3D ; - du standard DICOM (concepts de base, documents complexes, sécurité…) ; - de l'archivage ; - de l'intégration dans les systèmes de gestion de dossier patient. Chaque chapitre est doté d'une fiche d'autoévaluation dont les réponses sont placées en fin d'ouvrage. Ce livre propose un panorama complet de l'image médicale, un outil de formation pour l'ensemble des professionnels (radiologues, manipulateurs en radiologie, ingénieurs…), ainsi que pour toute personne s'intéressant à l'imagerie médicale d'un point de vue technique.
