      Gastrointestinal dysfunction or injury is common in the critical care patient either as a primary diagnosis or as secondary symptoms. Several studies confirm that up to 62% of critical care patients exhibit at least one GI symptom for at least one day. In addition, recent studies have shown that GI problems are related to negative outcomes in the critical care patient. The articles in this issue are current and relevant to critical care patients today: Autoimmune Disease of the Gut in the Critical Care Patient; Nutrition Options in CCU Patients; Mesenteric Ischemia; Management of C-Diff in Critical Care Setting; Management of Acute GI Bleed; Acute Diverticulitis Management; GI Patient Skills Training in the ICU: SOFA assessment and recognizing GI symptoms; EBP with probiotics in treatment for antibiotic associated diarrhea in the ICU; GI Problems in the ICU with Patients with HIV/AIDs; Complications of GI Motility/GI Failure in the Critically Ill Patient; Untreated Gastroesophageal Reflux Patients in the ICU; Liver Transplant; Ecoli Complications in Critical Care-Pediatrics; and GI Traumatic injuries: GI Perforation. Being knowledgeable and skillful in the recognition and care for these problems is paramount to the critical care nurse.

      L’anatomie des viscères est souvent délaissée dans beaucoup de formations paramédicales. Comme le reste de l’anatomie, elle se heurte à une pédagogie descriptive relativement aride, avec une mémorisation basée sur un « par coeur » décourageant vite les bonnes volontés. C’est encore plus vrai pour l’étude des viscères, organes et régions topographiques de la tête, du cou et du tronc auxquels l’étudiant n’est pas préparé. La bonne compréhension de ces structures anatomiques est toutefois indispensable à l’activité quotidienne des kinésithérapeutes. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est donc de prolonger les acquis de l’appareil locomoteur (Anatomie de l’appareil locomoteur : tomes 1, 2 et 3) en abordant les organes et viscères sur le même modèle de présentation avec des tableaux systématisés et synoptiques, chacun étant illustré d’un ou plusieurs schémas explicatifs. Cette structure offre ainsi une lecture complète de la tête, du cou et du tronc : - Organes de la tête - Organes du cou - Organes du thorax - Organes de l’abdomen - Paquets vasculo-nerveux - Régions topographiques L’iconographie originale, tout en couleurs, répond au même souci de clarté, de simplicité et de vision spatiale. L’étudiant pourra donc facilement entrer dans des connaissances dépouillées au maximum de leur complexité sans pour autant tomber dans la vulgarisation, centrées sur l’essentiel et documentées. Le praticien, plus spécialement celui de thérapie manuelle à qui ce travail est destiné, peu familiarisé avec ce domaine, y trouvera un bagage compréhensible et capable de l’orienter dans l’abord de ces régions particulières. Cette nouvelle édition, entièrement actualisée, offre au lecteur une information toujours plus précise et pertinente et une adéquation optimale entre le texte et les figures. La partie auto-évaluation s’est enrichie de chrono-QROC, élaboration originale et unique de réponses organisées en fonction du temps.
