    Avec ses 169 illustrations en couleur, ce livre-chevalet est conçu de manière très pédagogique, pour permettre au thérapeute non seulement de localiser les points gâchettes et les zones de douleur projetée, mais également de visualiser les étirements spécifiques préconisés pour chaque muscle concerné. Chaque page comprend ainsi les principales caractéristiques des points gâchettes, des zones de projection de la douleur, ainsi que les étirements associés. Ce support cartonné grand format, dont la solidité et la reliure à spirales rendent l'utilisation très pratique, pourra être posé sur le bureau du thérapeute ; il lui sera tout aussi utile comme outil dans sa pratique quotidienne que pour expliquer à ses patients le traitement entrepris, de manière claire et visuelle. Un outil pratique et efficace ! • Des figures simples et en couleur montrent la localisation des points gâchettes pour chaque muscle, comme les zones de projection de la douleur. • L'étirement spécifique de chaque muscle est présenté de manière pédagogique. • Les pages en grand format permettent de visualiser un groupe musculaire dans son ensemble, de même que les étirements associés, ce qui permet de retrouver facilement une région musculaire spécifique.

  • Hemostasis and Coagulation, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 29-2
    • Henry M. Rinder
    • English
    The understanding of hemostasis physiology has been considerably advanced by models of kinetics and by the complicated interplay of cells and soluble coagulation factors. How this physiology is currently, or will eventually, be reflected in clinical laboratory testing is the subject of this monograph; this information is key for laboratorians to implement physiologic concepts into practical data and for clinicians to understand the basis of and therefore correctly treat hemostatic disease. Many thousands of patients present with bleeding disorders or bleeding complications of other diseases, and millions of individuals suffer the morbidity and mortality of thromboembolic complications. How laboratory testing confronts the challenge of predicting different hemostatic risks and guiding therapy is the critical subtext of the chapters in this monograph. New developments in hemostasis physiology have identified thrombin as an important, if not central, coordinator of hemostatic function and thus a target for measurement to assess hemostatic function and risk. Whether such measurements as endogenous thrombin potential or thromboelastography will accurately predict and/or quantitate global hemostatic function is an important question. Modeling the clinical risks of bleeding or thromboembolism currently uses the laboratory presence or absence of particular risk factors, but our clinical understanding of risk appears to more closely approximate a dynamic model, even within individual patients. Therefore, testing for platelet dysfunction or comprehending the functional implications of a lupus anticoagulant may rely on our evolving comprehension of hemostasis phyisology and perhaps require more sophisticated interpretation of clinical predictors of hemostatic risk. This monograph aims to shed some light in these areas and promote investigation of such key hemostasis issues.

  • Enteroscopy, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 19-3
    • David R. Cave
    • English
    The small intestine has, until 2001, been an organ largely inaccessible to conventional endoscopy. Since that time a variety of endoscopic technologies have become available that have transformed small bowel diagnosis and therapy with a concomitant increase in interest in this organ and its disorders. This issue is divided into two sections; first, the new technologies are presented and include video capsule endoscopy, single and double balloon enteroscopy, and very recently the innovative Spirus screw technology. An article on comparison of these new technologies and the evolving techniques of CT and MRI is included. Indications, contraindications, complications and therapeutic adjunctive devices are discussed. The second section addresses the application of these technologies to specific diseases and discusses how these technological advances have changed their management. An article on intra-operative enteroscopy and its utilization in this new era is included.

  • Biomarkers in Heart Failure, An Issue of Heart Failure Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 5-4
    • Eugene Braunwald
    • English
    Biomarkers — which may be enzymes, hormones, biologic substances, or other markers of cardiac stress and malfunction — appear to have growing clinical importance in heart failure. Many biomarkers appear to provide important information about the cause of heart failure or the identification of those at risk for heart failure or appear to be useful in risk stratification, in the diagnosis of heart failure, or in monitoring therapy. This issue discusses the current and potential future role of biomarkers and includes articles that explore individual biomarkers in depth.
