  • Esophageal Cancer, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 38-1
    • Guy D. Eslick
    • English
    An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine. Peptic ulcers are eventually caused by acid and pepsin, a digestive stomach enzyme. These ulcers can occur in the stomach, where they are called gastric ulcers, or they can occur in the first portion of the intestine. These are called duodenal ulcers. Peptic ulcer is a term used to describe either or both of these two types of ulcers. H. pylori and certain drugs are the two major factors that cause ulcers. This issue provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, diagnosis, and treatments of peptic ulcers, including conditions like Zollinger -Ellison syndrome. Articles are devoted to NSAID ulcers and how to prevent them, stress ulcers, and antiplatelet therapy.

  • Le mal de dos

    Pour une prise en charge efficace
    • 2nd Edition
    • Jean-Yves Maigne
    • French
    La pathologie du dos, qui reste un des motifs les plus fréquents de consultation, est une affection mal caractérisée et difficile à traiter. Le praticien est peu aidé dans sa prescription par une symptomatologie uniforme – « j'ai mal au dos » – et par la quasi-absence d'examens complémentaires réellement concluants. Mis à part les antalgiques, le praticien dispose de peu de traitements pour soulager et soigner son patient et sa démarche thérapeutique se limite souvent à la prescription de séances de kinésithérapie. Pour répondre à ces besoins, cet ouvrage a pour double objectif de rendre cette affection compréhensible et de permettre une meilleure prise en charge de ceux qui en souffrent. L'auteur, spécialiste des pathologies vertébrales, s'appuie dans cette 2e édition sur une nouvelle classification des douleurs de dos. Il guide pas à pas le praticien dans sa stratégie thérapeutique, de l'interrogatoire du patient à la prescription appropriée. Sont ainsi décrits, pour chaque catégorie de douleur, des rappels anatomiques, les signes à l'examen clinique, l'apport éventuel de l'imagerie, les diagnostics et les traitements. Des chapitres spécifiques sont consacrés aux traitements par médicaments et infiltrations, aux traitements physiques, aux manipulations, à la rééducation et à la chirurgie. Cette nouvelle édition, entièrement revue et actualisée, prend en compte les dernières avancées du domaine et les recommandations européennes pour la lombalgie.

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

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 42-2
    • Samuel S. Becker
    • English
    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.

  • Soigner les épilepsies

    Comprendre les maladies. Accompagner les malades
    • 1st Edition
    • Marc Beaussart + 1 more
    • French
    Connaître les maladies est l'indispensable grille de lecture pour élaborer un diagnostic et envisager une stratégie thérapeutique, mais comprendre le malade est tout aussi indispensable pour adapter les connaissances théoriques à leur mise en pratique. Les auteurs, neurologue et psychologue, ayant une longue pratique épileptologique, font le point sur les connaissances actuelles et leurs applications pour soigner les maladies et accompagner le patient et sa famille. Certains chapitres sont d'ordre médical, d'autres d'ordre psychologique et sociologique, reflet d'une interdisciplinarité nécessaire pour comprendre et agir. Des cas cliniques éclairent les propos des auteurs et mettent en évidence la complexité et la diversité des profils des personnes présentant une maladie épileptique. Enfin, cet ouvrage propose de possibles améliorations pour demain, à développer avec les professionnels de santé comme avec les malades et leur famille : dépasser l'approche crisologique seule pour prendre en compte dans une stratégie thérapeutique globale, outre les caractères électrocliniques des épilepsies, les profils psychologiques des patients et les comportements de leur entourage.
