A definite visual feast, this book is a prize for any bookshelf." (American Journal of Ophthalmology)"The authors are superb teachers, and the book is an excellent educational medium." (Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Annual)"It is always easy to find criticism of a book is one looks hard enough.

      Les soins palliatifs sont, selon la belle formule du Dr Thérèse Vanier, « tout ce qui reste à faire quand on croit qu’il n’y a plus rien à faire ». Pour les malades en phase terminale, le temps qui leur reste à vivre doit être, non pas le plus long possible, mais de la meilleure qualité possible. La première USP ouverte en France l’a été en 1987 à l’Hôpital international de l’Université de Paris, à l’initiative du Dr Abiven. Cette unité a été transférée en 2001 à l’hôpital des Diaconesses de Paris. S’appuyant sur l’expérience du fonctionnement dans ce service, le Dr Abiven et son équipe définissent, dans cet ouvrage, la nature des soins palliatifs, en décrivent les composantes médicales, psychologiques, sociales et en montrent les aspects humains, notamment dans les relations avec les familles. À l’intention des personnels médicaux et infirmiers, ils proposent des stratégies, des grilles d’évaluation thérapeutiques et tirent de leur expérience des recommandations précieuses pour les professionnels désireux d’ouvrir de tels services. Cette troisième édition propose notamment la mise à jour des stratégies thérapeutiques. Soucieux d’éviter tout jargon médical, cet ouvrage passionnera, à travers les nombreux cas instructifs qu’il présente, les soignants et les familles qui s’interrogent sur les meilleurs moyens de prendre en charge, aujourd’hui, les malades à l’approche de la mort. Il s’agit donc de soulager le malade de ses douleurs et de tous les symptômes qu’il présente, dans la plus grande sérénité possible, entouré de ses proches. Tel est l’objectif des unités de soins palliatifs (USP), services hospitaliers spécifiques dotés d’un personnel spécialisé travaillant dans des locaux adaptés.

      Dans la pratique du médecin-stomatologis... ou du chirurgien dentiste, le geste chirurgical est l'acte dominant. Néanmoins, un ensemble de moyens thérapeutiques devrait permettre de mieux répondre aux attentes des patients en complétant l'efficacité du geste chirurgical, voire en l'évitant dans certains cas. Cet ouvrage rassemble, pour en faciliter l'usage, des notions souvent éparses dans la littérature scientifique, médicale (stomatologie, dermatologie, infectiologie, ORL...), dentaire ou pharmaceutique. Il explore particulièrement la thérapeutique par voie locale (bains de bouche, collutoires, crèmes, solutions) et par voie générale (antibiotiques, anti-inflammatoires, antalgiques, sialomodulateurs) ainsi que l'hygiène, l'alimentation, le thermalisme, la kinésithérapie dento-maxillo-facial... l`utilisation de certains agents physiques et les principaux examens complémentaires. Les annexes présentent des prescriptions types et apportent des précisions sur les interactions médicamenteuses, les effets indésirables et contre-indications avec un rappel des règles de prescription, et les effets des médicaments prescrits sur les contrôles anti-dopages.

    • Basic Medical Sciences for MRCP Part 1, International Edition

      • 3rd Edition
      • February 13, 2004
      • Philippa J. Easterbrook
      • English
      A revision book intended primarily for candidates sitting their MRCP Part 1 examination and which covers all the essential basic sciences. It focuses on the recurring themes which come up in the questions. The book also includes a chapter on clinical pharmacology (which alone accounts for up to 30% of the questions), looking at aspects of drug-induced disease and drug interactions. Finally there is a chapter on statistics and epidemiology which is rarely covered in other texts, but is often included in the exam.Despite the changes to the teaching of the undergraduate in medicine and the integration of the basic sciences with clinical education, the junior doctor, faced with postgraduate examinations, is always going to be poorly prepared for those increasingly important subjects. This book presents the essential information in the form of lists, tables, diagrams and flow charts.

      In the popular Q and A format of the Your Questions Answered series, this book provides succinct, expert information on obesity, and is the first to bring together all the different aspects of obesity from the primary care clinician's point of view. The authors, Dr Ian Campbell and Dr David Haslam, both of the National Obesity Forum, are practising GPs with a special interest in obesity and overweight management. With an emphasis on evidence-based, up-to-date knowledge, the authors discuss issues such as the costs of obesity to society and the individual, the role of lifestyle and drug therapies, surgical management and possible future developments. They also address many questions asked about obesity by other physicians, practice and community nurses, medical students and trainees, and indeed patients. Some frequently asked patient questions, in non-medical language, are included, and there is a list of sources of further information and patient support.

      Taking the place of the multiple texts traditionally needed to cover visual anatomy and physiology, Clinical Anatomy and Physiology of the Visual System, 3rd Edition dramatically lightens your load by providing one book that covers it all! This concise, well-referenced resource contains information on the clinical anatomy of the eye, its adnexa and visual pathways, histologic information, plus newly added content on physiology of the human ocular structures. Vivid illustrations complement the text and provide clinical information on diseases and disorders that represent departures from normal clinical anatomy.
