      La société occidentale vit de profondes transformations marquées notamment par un individualisme exacerbé et une attitude consumériste. Le monde de la santé n'échappe pas à cette évolution et en subit les conséquences au quotidien. Il en résulte des conflits de plus en plus fréquents entre les professionnels de la santé, les personnes soignées et leurs proches. D'importantes souffrances en découlent, accompagnées de risques pour la qualité des soins. Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un travail patient et rigoureux qui met en évidence les processus en jeu. Il nous invite à les dépasser à l'aide d'un ensemble d'outils utilisables par chaque soignant et chaque cadre de santé. Ce livre d'écoute et d'observations aidera les professionnels à faire face à des situations parfois difficiles mais qui contiennent presque toujours en elles des réponses et des solutions pragmatiques. Au travers d'exemples précis, de dialogues vécus et de pistes d'analyse variées, l'auteur propose à chaque soignant un chemin de développement professionnel et personnel vivifiant. Quelque 70 fiches permettent d'approfondir les principales thématiques développées et d'en faciliter l'application.

      There are many tomes available detailing the histopathological features of both general surgical pathology entities and organ specific pathologies. In addition, several texts present aspects of developmental, fetal and placental pathology. However, for the specialist paediatric pathologist with a significant paediatric surgical specimen workload, and for the practising general surgical pathologist faced with reporting paediatric surgical specimens, although information regarding many of the specific entities affecting childhood is available in the former texts, such information requires searching of many disjointed books. Therefore, the aim of this publication is to present a comprehensive and detailed account, which brings together and covers all, or at least most, paediatric surgical pathological entities in a single volume, to allow rapid access for day-to-day use by practising histopathologists.

      Athletic injuries of the upper extremity are on a rise for numerous reasons. The incidents of “weekend warrior” injuries continue to grow due to the baby boomers generation ideology of staying fit. In addition, young athletes participate in sports activities year round with some athletes participating in a single sport for the entire year, frequently overloading their upper extremity without time to recuperate. Athletic injuries are not confined just to the hand and wrist, but involve the entire upper extremity. This edition of Hand Clinics concentrates on athletic injuries of the hand, wrist, and elbow. Recognized leaders from across the country were asked to contribute their expertise in the management of athletic injuries to the upper extremity. Both open and arthroscopic management of these sometimes complex injuries are described in detail in this exciting upcoming edition.
