English

2014 BMA Medical Book Awards Highly Commended in Surgery category! General Surgical Operations is a highly-praised and comprehensive textbook of operative surgery. It is a practical manual aimed at the surgeon who is about to carry out an operation, rather than just a description of the principles suitable for an examiner. Kirk’s General Surgical Operations continues to be aimed at a broad readership: the candidate preparing for the Intercollegiate FRCS in General Surgery or international equivalents; the trained surgeon faced, through necessity, with undertaking an infrequently performed procedure; and the many surgeons working in hospitals throughout the world without access to specialist services. It remains above all a practical text which will guide the surgeon in training, or one unfamiliar with a procedure, on how to perform it, but more importantly on how to manage the uncertainties which so often arise This is a ‘What to do’ book. Using it the reader can aspire to gain diagnostic, decision making and operative surgical competence with confidence.

Le lupus érythémateux est une maladie chronique, qui résulte d'un dérèglement multifactoriel du système immunitaire et qui illustre parfaitement le concept de maladie auto-immune systémique. Affection aux symptômes multiples, elle se déclare le plus souvent par des manifestations cutanées ou articulaires, mais elle peut toucher n'importe quel organe. De par la complexité de son diagnostic et de son traitement, le lupus érythémateux est une maladie parfois grave dont le diagnostic et la prise en charge font appel à un grand nombre de spécialités médicales : dermatologie, rhumatologie, médecine interne, néphrologie, hématologie, pédiatrie, biologie médicale, mais aussi parfois pneumologie, cardiologie, gastro-entérologie..... Ce livre didactique, organisé sous la forme de mises au point et d'interrogations que le professionnel de santé est amené à se poser, propose : - un ancrage diagnostique et thérapeutique par des mises au point, dans la première partie, offrant un rappel de la physiopathologie du lupus érythémateux, de ses manifestations cliniques et biologiques et de son traitement ; - un approfondissement des différentes manifestations, des situations particulières et des complications que peut présenter le patient lupique : lupus chez l'enfant, grossesse et lupus, risque infectieux, ostéonécrose, ischémie cutanée, douleurs abdominales, etc. ; - une évaluation des multiples traitements, chaque symptôme nécessitant une cure spécifique. Les syndromes plus rares associés au lupus, comme le syndrome d'Evans ou encore le syndrome d'activation macrophagique par exemple, sont ainsi abordés spécifiquement, afin de déterminer le remède le plus adapté. Cet ouvrage exhaustif, illustré par de nombreux tableaux et figures, éclaire une maladie complexe et polymorphe. Il guidera les nombreux praticiens pour lesquels le lupus érythémateux est un enjeu majeur de diagnostic, véritable cas d'école de diagnostic différentiel. Il apportera une aide considérable dans la prise en charge thérapeutique en abordant concrètement les nombreuses situations cliniques auxquelles les malades lupiques sont exposés.
