      The skull base is a meeting point for anatomical regions, surgical specialties, and surgical philosophies. Skull base surgery is a dynamic subspecialty and the last decade has witnessed the application of endoscopic techniques to the ventral skull base using an endonasal corridor. The transition from external approaches to an endonasal corridor has not been without controversy. In this volume, we explore the nascent field of neurorhinology, a term that emphasizes the multidisciplinary collaboration between neurosurgeons and rhinologic head and neck surgeons. Authors have applied evidence-based medicine techniques to critically evaluate the literature and attempt to answer some of the most important clinical questions. This first of two volumes focuses on the more common pathologies seen by Otolaryngologists in neurorhinology. Topics include: Spontaneous CSF leaks; Traumatic CSF leaks; Osteoma; Fibrous dysplasia of sphenoid and skull base; Orbital apex and orbit; Endoscopic endonasal transphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas with adjunctive intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging; Craniopharyngioma; Tuberculum meningioma; Olfactory groove meningioma; Endoscopic endonasal surgery for nasal dermoids; Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma; Hypothalamic/ pituitary morbidity in skull base pathology

      Bien nourrir son enfant est une des préoccupations majeures de tous les parents. Les pédiatres et médecins traitants sont ainsi constamment sollicités pour donner des conseils sur l'alimentation du nourrisson et du jeune enfant. Leur tâche est souvent difficile en raison de la diversité des opinions émises sur le sujet, et compte tenu de l'évolution permanente des recommandations en matière de nutrition infantile. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de fournir aux praticiens, mais également aux parents qui le souhaitent, un guide pratique qui leur permettra à la fois de mieux comprendre les bases nutritionnelles qui régissent les règles diététiques développées et surtout de disposer de documents susceptibles d'être utilisés dans la grande majorité des situations, normales ou pathologiques, où des conseils alimentaires doivent êtres prodigués. Dans cette deuxième édition, nous avons conservé la configuration qui avait fait le succès de la précédente. Vous y retrouverez des tableaux de synthèse, des fiches menus types selon les âges et des alertes sur les erreurs alimentaires les plus fréquentes, tous faciles à consulter et éminemment pratiques. Cette nouvelle édition a également permis une mise à jour des connaissances qui ont considérablement évolué au cours des dernières années. Elle a enfin été l'occasion de corriger les nombreuses idées reçues qui circulent de plus en plus sur l'alimentation du nourrisson, en se basant toujours sur des arguments scientifiques dûment démontrés. Cet ouvrage pratique est destiné aux pédiatres, médecins généralistes, nutritionnistes, diététiciens, puéricultrices, infirmières, ainsi qu'à tous les parents qui désirent enrichir leur savoir sur l'alimentation de leur enfant.
