      Ce Mémo-Guide, tout en couleur, présente de façon claire et synthétique l'ensemble des connaissances à maîtriser par les futurs professionnels de santé, en biologie moléculaire et cellulaire, ainsi qu'en physiologie humaine. Il s'organise en quatre grandes parties : - Biologie fondamentale (les atomes et les événements biologiques, la cellule et son organisation, les bases de la génétique). - Les systèmes physiologiques (respiratoire, digestif, cardiaque, nerveux, immunitaire, endocrinien, et rénal). - Les fonctions biologiques (thermorégulation, stress, douleur, adaptation à l'effort et sommeil). - Pharmacologie (les principaux types de médicaments et leur mode d'action sur l'organisme) Chaque notion est présentée sous forme de fiches aux explications simples, clairement rédigées et richement illustrées. Dans les parties 2 et 3, des fiches annexes complètent les connaissances de base et font le lien avec la pratique professionnelle : - Les fiches « Pathologie » présentent, en lien avec chaque grand système, quelques exemples de dysfonctionnement de l'organisme. - Les fiches « Quotidien infirmier » font, de même, le lien entre la biologie ou la physiologie, et certains soins, analyses ou examens couramment pratiqués. Ainsi, ce Mémo-Guide offre à tout soignant ou futur soignant l'essentiel pour comprendre le fonctionnement – et les dysfonctionnements – de l'organisme humain.

      Most doctors believe gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) start in special cells found in the wall of the GI tract, called the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), or in very early cells that can develop into ICCs. ICCs are part of the autonomic nervous system, which sends signals to the GI tract. Some have called these cells the "pacemakers" of the GI tract because the nerve signals they send cause muscles of the digestive organs to contract, which helps to move food and liquid through the GI tract. This issue is an important one because GISTs are rare and are quite different in their outlook for survival and their treatment than other gastrointestinal tumors. For these reasons, oncologists need to figure out whether a patient has a GIST, an adenoma, an adenocarcinoma, a neuroendocrine cancer, some other type of tumor, or a non-cancerous condition. By presenting state-of-the-art information on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of GISTs, this issue serves as an important guide to oncologists as they work with patients to make make informed decisions about treatment options.
