Diseases once believed to be confined to the tropics, such as parasitic, mycobacterial, fungal, bacterial, and viral infections are still a major cause of mortality and moribidity in the tropics, yet can affect the developed world in an era of increased global travel and migration. Neuroimaging technique developments over the last several decades have helped clinicians better understand and diagnose these conditions. Experts from tropical countries share their experiences regarding tropical disorders, some of which are rare in the western world, but possible to appear in patients and not readily recognized by specialists not familiar with these diseases. Topics in this issue include: Relevance of neuroimaging in the diagnosis and management of tropical neurologic disorders; Pathology of Tropical Diseases; Viral Infections of the Central Nervous System; Central Nervous System Tuberculosis; Parasitic diseases of nervous system; Neuroimaging in Post-infectious Demyelination and Nutritional Disorders of the Central Nervous System; CNS Fungal Infections in the Tropics; Neuroimaging Epilepsy in the Tropics; Neuroimaging in Cranio-Vertebral Anomalies as seen in Tropics; Vascular Brain Pathologies; Neurobrucellosis; Hirayama Disease; Transverse Myelitis; and Pyomyositis.

L'ordonnance alimentaire est le moyen adapté et efficace de délivrer des conseils nutritionnels. Didactique, elle facilite l'adhésion des patients à des orientations alimentaires spécifiques. Le conseil nutritionnel est devenu un acte thérapeutique à part entière. Le public est désormais conscient qu'une alimentation inadaptée peut être la source de certains troubles ou pathologies ou en favoriser le développement. De même, une alimentation bien orientée permet de faire régresser de nombreuses affections ou de venir en appui d'un traitement médical. Fort du succès du premier ouvrage, cette nouvelle édition propose une ou plusieurs ordonnances pour 60 troubles ou pathologies destinées à être transmis par les professionnels de santé. Ces ordonnances sont suivies de conseils destinés aux patients, d'éléments de physiopathologie et d'une bibliographie. Ces ordonnances peuvent être adaptées à la situation spécifique de chacun de vos patients. Un accès en ligne à un mini-site permet de télécharger et d'imprimer : - les 60 ordonnances alimentaires et leurs déclinaisons, toutes modifiables et adaptables ; - des ressources complémentaires (conseils pour la lecture des étiquettes, produits chimiques à éviter, etc.) pour délivrer aux patients les informations les plus précises possible.

Mechanisms of Clinical Signs

A robust understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms behind clinical signs is crucial for medical students and junior doctors. Being able to accurately identify the clinical sequelae of disease during physical examination and connecting cause with consequence is the first step in correct diagnosis and treatment. For example, a patient with rheumatoid arthritis has distinctive hand changes, a patient with Parkinson’s disease has a particular tremor, and a patient with liver disease may present with red palms. Each of these signs has a mechanism or pathway which results in the characteristic presentation. Currently, in medical school tutorial groups, time is set aside to discuss mechanisms of clinical signs and disease processes. However, current textbooks on clinical examination are mainly organized by disease systems and disease states. This new book bridges the gap between identification of clinical signs and understanding the causes behind them.
