      Les maladies chroniques sont de plus en plus nombreuses et présentent entre elles des points communs : intolérance à l'effort, retentissement psychosocial, inflammation systémique, voire musculaire…. Les patients souffrant de broncho-pneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO) sont pris dans un cercle vicieux : leur maladie entraînant un essoufflement pour des efforts de plus en plus limités, les patients réduisent leur activité physique et se sédentarisent, ce qui aggrave l'essoufflement et altère leur qualité de vie. La réhabilitation du malade respiratoire chronique, qui met en place un accompagnement centré sur le patient et adapté à son projet et lieu de vie, permet de sortir de ce cercle vicieux. Au-delà du traitement pharmacologique, les auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage proposent un programme de réhabilitation fondé sur l'activité physique et l'éducation thérapeutique, dont les résultats ont été analysés en termes de « médecine fondée sur les preuves ». L'objectif de ce livre rigoureux et très pratique est de présenter les bases fondamentales, l'évaluation du malade respiratoire chronique, la prise en charge somatique, l'accompagnement psychosocial ainsi que l'organisation de la réhabilitation. Composé de 31 chapitres, il réunit des spécialistes français, canadiens, belges, suisses, tunisiens. Il intéressera les pneumologues, les médecins généralistes, les infirmiers, les kinésithérapeutes, les spécialistes en activité physique adaptée et plus largement tous les professionnels de la santé confrontés aux maladies chroniques.

    • Surgical Management of Nasal Obstruction: Rhinologic Perspective, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics

      In this 2-volume edition of Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America experts in the surgical management of the nasal airway address the range of anatomic abnormalities that contribute to nasal obstruction, and describe in detail the surgical methods available for treatment of these problems. In Volume 1, expert rhinologists address sinonasal aspects of surgery for nasal obstruction. In Volume 2, experts in rhinoplasty describe surgical interventions for nasal obstruction from a facial plastic surgery perspective. Together, these two volumes should increase the otolaryngologist’s armamentarium for the comprehensive surgical management of nasal airway obstruction. Many aspects of nasal airway obstruction may be mitigated by medical management alone. For instance, swelling from allergic rhinitis typically responds well to allergy treatment. In a number of cases, however, medical intervention is insufficient. When medical management fails, and anatomic abnormalities contribute significantly to nasal obstruction, surgical intervention may be indicated. Septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, internal and external nasal valve collapse, sinusitis, polyps, encephaloceles, and tumors are just a few of the varied sources of nasal obstruction. Equally diverse are the surgical means available to the contemporary otolaryngologist to address these anatomic abnormalities.

      In this issue, the Guest Editors have focused on recent advances in liver disease related to disturbances in hemostasis and coagulation. The work emphasizes the multifaceted aspects of coagulation disorders in liver disease from hypo-coagulable to hyper-coagulable states and the limitations of conventional tests such as the INR to shed light on relative bleeding risk or on underlying pathophysiology in a given patient. Articles are written by leaders in the field from multiple disciplines and from around the world. In each article, the state of the art is discussed along with its limitations. The issue sheds light on recent advances, explores areas of controversy, and thus, addresses the need of combined clinical and laboratory investigation.
