      Le geste auto-agressif le plus apparemment « bénin » est un signal symptôme aussi important à percevoir que le geste suicidaire le plus élaboré. Il recouvre une réalité humaine complexe, parfois pathologique, toujours potentiellement mortifère. Le geste suicidaire revêt la signification d'un message qui s'est passé de mots mais représente aussi une histoire ou l'étape d'une histoire dramatique. Le geste suicidaire est un véritable trouble en soi, que l'on est en droit d'autonomiser grâce à une syndromique particulière (le syndrome présuicidaire), ses modalités d'installation et d'évolution (la crise suicidaire), sa psychopathologie déclinable selon diverses grilles de lecture, sa composante familiale, voire génétique, sa physiopathologie biologique, ses formes cliniques : aiguë, chronique, secondarité ou comorbidité avec d'autres troubles psychiatriques. Cet ouvrage clarifie tout d'abord les notions et présente l'épidémiologie ainsi que les déterminants biologiques, psychologiques et sociologiques. Une partie clinique expose les liens entre les conduites suicidaires et d'autres troubles : psychoses, troubles de l'humeur, troubles anxieux, troubles de la personnalité. Au sein de cette partie, les auteurs insistent particulièrement sur les populations spécifiques (adolescents, détenus, salariés) et les répétitions suicidaires. Enfin, la prise en charge est détaillée dans sa diversité, du médecin généraliste au service d'urgence : psychothérapies, traitements médicamenteux, importance de l'entourage et postvention. Un chapitre final se focalise sur la prévention du suicide en milieu professionnel.

      Both acute and chronic cough are responsible for a significant number of ambulatory medical visits annually. The recent comprehensive understanding that “cough” is a reflection of underlying disease pays tribute to the multifactorial causes, as well recognition of the respiratory and upper digestive tract as a “physiologic unit.” This publication highlights the advances made in managing cough and brings these to otolaryngology practitioners in a concise forum, as well as presenting issues of special interest to laryngologists such as paradoxical vocal fold motion, disordered breathing, irritable larynx, evolution of the vagus as a protective circuit, the importance of cough in deglutition, and surgical interventions. Some of the topics include: The cough reflex, sensory receptors, and neurogenic mediators; Mucus and mucins; Cough and Swallowing dysfunction; Cough due to asthma, cough-variant asthma, and nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis; Occupational, environmental, and irritant induced cough; Pharmacologic management; Unexplained cough; Cough in the pediatric population; and Rhinogenic laryngitis, cough and the unified airway; among others.

      This issue of the Surgical Clinics of North America covers a broad spectrum of anorectal disease such as basic anatomy, physiology, and testing of the anorectal region, as well as the most current diagnostic and management strategies for many of the common anorectal conditions encountered by surgeons including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, abscess and fistula. Also presented are new techniques in the management of pilonidal disease, perianal infections including HIV and condyloma, pruritis ani, and anal stenosis--difficult conditions that often are frustrating for patient and surgeon alike. Two articles are dedicated to the current management of anorectal Crohn’s disease and rectovaginal fistulas, including the evolving multidisciplinary approach. In addition, advances in the evaluation and current management of retrorectal tumors and anal neoplasms including the role of local excision and transanal endoscopic microsurgery for selected rectal tumors are covered. Rounding out this issue are approaches to the difficult situation of anorectal trauma including foreign body management, as well as two articles dedicated to the evaluation of pelvic floor disorders and fecal incontinence.
