    Les troubles somatiques fonctionnels (ou troubles fonctionnels, troubles à symptomatologie somatique, troubles somatoformes) correspondent à un ensemble de symptômes physiques persistants pour lesquels aucune lésion susceptible de les expliquer ne peut être mise en évidence. Malgré leur fréquence, ces troubles sont mal repérés et rarement pris en charge, en raison de la difficulté à poser un diagnostic et de l’absence de soins spécifiques proposés. Fondé sur l’expérience des auteurs, l’ouvrage propose les éléments nécessaires à la compréhension, au repérage et à la prise en charge des troubles somatiques fonctionnels :le rappel des concepts et des modèles physiopathologiques,... description des différents troubles (troubles neurologiques somatiques, fibromyalgie, syndrome de l’intestinirritable, syndrome de fatigue chronique, acouphènes, vertiges, troubles cardiovasculaires, syndrome post-infectieux, etc.),le diagnostic positif et différentiel de ces troubles,les enjeux de ce diagnostic (parcours de soins, stigmatisation, idées reçues),les modalités de la prise en charge, notamment les TCCE, mais toujours pluridisciplinaire.D... vignettes cliniques, des exemples de programmes et de séances de TCCE, des fiches d’information et des exercices pour les patients sont également proposés dans l’ouvrage et en complément en ligne.Mathilde Horn est psychiatre et PU-PH dans le service de psychiatrie de l’adulte, hôpital Fontan, CHU de Lille, chercheuse à l’université de Lille, équipe Interactions – Centre Lille Neuroscience & Cognition, Lille.Caroline Moumen est psychiatre dans le service de psychiatrie de l’adulte, hôpital Fontan, CHU de Lille, et intervient sur l’EPSM des Flandres, Bailleul.Jeanne Danel est psychologue dans le service de psychiatrie de l’adulte, hôpital Fontan, CHU de Lille.Margot Rousselle est psychologue dans le service de psychiatrie de l’adulte, hôpital Fontan, CHU de Lille.
  • Radiation Biology

    Molecular Foundations and Clinical Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • Barry S. Rosenstein + 1 more
    • English
    Radiation Biology: Molecular Foundations and Clinical Applications explores the effects of ionizing radiation on a molecular scale, with a focus on radiobiological principles relevant to cancer radiotherapy.The book starts at the subcellular level, elucidating the interactions between radiation and important cellular macromolecules, then gradually moves toward larger scales, demonstrating how the effects of radiation on macromolecules result in changes to the cell, which in turn lead to either cure or control of a cancer, or alternatively injury to normal tissues and organs. Topics covered include radiation-induced DNA damage and repair; effects of radiation on cellular signaling and cell death; quantification of cell kill and the effects of oxygen, linear energy transfer, radiosensitizers, and radioprotectors; models of radiation-induced tissue damage; the role of fractionation and dose rate; radiation-induced mutagenesis; and whole-body effects of radiation. Active areas of current research in radiation biology are discussed, including the use of radiation with immune-modulating agents, bystander effects, novel mechanisms of radiation-induced cell death, FLASH radiotherapy, personalized assays for prediction of radiation effects, nanoparticle delivery of radiosensitizers, and GRID/LATTICE radiotherapy. The last section of the book provides a review of cancer biology, discussing cancer genetics and epigenetics, the role of the tumor microenvironment, tumor metabolism, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
