      Recent work on emotional regulation gives a powerful new lens through which to view the evolution across childhood and adolescence of the lived experience and clinical presentation of depression. We have a richer picture of the depressed child, and the child at risk for depression, in interaction with family and wider world. We know more about the development and the developmental psychopathology of coping strategies. These advances give provocative clues to the actual processes whereby well-established risk and protective factors might interact to produce, sustain or curtail a depressive syndrome. This in turn opens the door to treatment and prevention approaches that are truly developmentally informed. This is the philosophy behind this completely updated and comprehensive analysis of childhood depression.

      Heart disease is the leading cause of death among US women over the age of 65, resulting in more deaths than all forms of cancer combined. Women are less likely to survive heart attacks than are men, possibly because symptoms in women may differ and may be less recognizable. In addition, women consistently tend to have worse clinical outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions than do men. For these reasons, an issue on percutaneous interventions in women is timely.

Le prix affiché tient déjà compte de la remise. <br> Topographie cornéenne : La topographie cornéenne correspond à la représentation graphique, sous forme d'une carte, de certaines propriétés géométriques de la cornée (courbure, élévation, épaisseur). Cet ouvrage, le premier sur le sujet, expose dans un premier temps les éléments nécessaires à la bonne compréhension de la technique : terminologie, principes optiques, instruments, bases physiques. La seconde partie analyse des cartes topographiques cornéennes telles qu'elles sont utilisées en pratique courante : il s'agit de cartes typiques interprétées qui permettent au lecteur de répondre à l'essentiel des situations cliniques. <br> Manuel de strabologie : Les anomalies de la vision binoculaire entraînent des déficits visuels et sensoriels que l'examen strabologique permet de dépister. Diagnostiqués précocement et traités par une thérapeutique adaptée, ces troubles peuvent être pour la plupart corrigés. Afin d'aider l'ophtalmologiste et l'orthoptiste à établir le bon diagnostic et optimiser la prise en charge du patient, ce manuel, clair et didactique, est un outil indispensable à la pratique quotidienne. Après un rappel anatomique et physiologique, l'ouvrage aborde les méthodes d'examen et la stratégie thérapeutique la plus adaptée en fonction des principales pathologies que l'on rencontre en strabologie : amblyopie, hétérophories, strabismes et nystagmus, paralysies oculomotrices, torticolis oculaire. <br> Rétinopathie diabétique : Véritable ouvrage de référence en langue française sur la rétinopathie diabétique, ce livre constitue un guide pratique destiné à aider les ophtalmologistes et internes en ophtalmologie, ainsi que les diabétologues et les médecins généralistes à décrypter cette affection. Il est le fruit de l'expérience accumulée depuis presque vingt ans au sein de la consultation d'ophtalmologie-diab... de l'hôpital Lariboisière. <br>
