      Volume 1 of the Handbook of Neuropsychology contains 17 chapters divided into two sections. "Section 1: Introduction" presents the views of various authors discussing practical and theoretical issues of general interest and two chapters cover clinical evaluation in a novel and comprehensive fashion. A feature of Neuropsychology in recent years, the spectacular comeback of single case studies, is covered in a chapter on statistical approaches comparing statistical procedures appropriate for groups to that of single cases. Through two different points of view the important topic of Hemispheric specialization is examined and several chapters deal with the application of theoretical models to neuropsychology in its daily and research aspects. "Section 2: Attention" examines selective attention with chapters on visuo/spatial attentional phenomena and the temporal aspects of attention. The phenomenon of failure to orient, neglect and neglect related phenomena are dealt with in a separate chapter as is the anatomy and the neurophysiological properties of the circuits whose lesion produces neglect deficits in primates.

      L'objectif des Cahiers des Sciences Infirmières est d'offrir aux étudiants en IFSI des ouvrages complets et détaillés couvrant l'ensemble des savoirs définis dans les Unités d'Enseignement (UE) du nouveau référentiel. Ce cahier, consacré à l'UE 2.11 Pharmacologie et thérapeutiques, correspond étroitement au nouveau programme (semestres 1, 3 et 5). Il explicite les modalités, les risques et les dangers de l'administration médicamenteuse à travers : - les principes de chimie pertinents ; - la définition, la classification et le développement du médicament ; - les notions de pharmacodynamie et de pharmacocinétique ; - les voies d'administration et les formes pharmaceutiques ; - la préparation et l'administration des médicaments. L'UE est aussi centrée sur la connaissance des familles thérapeutiques : les antibiotiques, la chimiothérapie anticancéreuse, les psychotropes, les anticoagulants et antiagrégants plaquettaires, les anti-inflammatoires stéroïdiens et non stéroïdiens, les antalgiques et les anesthésiques. Cet ouvrage aborde enfin la responsabilité infirmière à travers : - les effets iatrogènes et la pharmacodépendance ; - les particularités de l'administration médicamenteuse chez les enfants et les personnes âgées ; - la prescription médicale et son application par l'infirmière ; - la réglementation concernant les médicaments listés et les stupéfiants ; - le circuit du médicament. Toutes ces thématiques sont illustrées par de nombreux schémas et photographies en couleurs. De nombreuses fiches de prescription « Pharmacologie » décrivent le rôle infirmier : administration, surveillance, contre-indications, éducation-conseils aux patients. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, de nombreuses fiches « Acte et/ou surveillance infirmiers » décrivent les différents soins et des fiches « Situation intégrative » mettent en évidence la conduite à tenir de l'infirmière auprès du patient. Certains chapitres se terminent par une rubrique « Situation clinique » exposant et analysant, de manière détaillée, un cas concret en rapport avec la thématique proposée dans le chapitre. Et en fin d'ouvrage, un Cahier d'entraînement permet à l'étudiant de tester ses connaissances et de s'entraîner à l'analyse de situations intégratives.
